Several psychological factors have been explored as possible predictors of disease progression in HIV infection. The present empirical study was conducted on 150 HIV/AIDS patients selected on purposive basis. Dispositional spiritual health of the subjects was measured through a standardized spiritual health scale. The subjects were divided into two groups above versus below median spiritual scores. The secondary data of CD4 counts of each subject were taken from the concerned ART Centre/Hospital/NGO at the beginning (Baseline), after 6 months and after 12 months. The high spiritual health subjects showed significantly greater CD4 counts at all the three stages of the study (Baseline, after 6 months and after 12 months, then low spiritual health subjects. Moreover, the coefficient of correlations between the spiritual health scores and CD4 counts of the subjects were found to be significantly positive.

Jassids (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) are cell sap sucking insects of plants of economic importance. While sucking the cell sap they inject toxins into the plant body and cause yellowing and curling of leaves and flowers. Eventually, growth of the plant is retarded and flowering and fruiting bodies drop down. The sooty moulds affect photosynthesis and the yield of crops. Therefore, biodiversity of Jassids has been reported from Sidhi district. In all, 22 species of Jassids belonging to the genera Deltocephalus, Empoasca, Nilaparvata, Nephotettix, Recilia, Cofta and Typhlocyba have been found damaging various crops of Sidhi district.

The socio-demographic condition at district-level in India and it’salso decided the development of any country. Demography is a section of the population sharing common characteristics such as age, sex, sex-ratio, class, growth, literacy etc. India is a country of striking socio-demographic diversity. Study is based on mainly secondary sources which collected from Census of India, 2011. Socio-demographic has been measured by two indicators, first indicator is sex-ratio and another is literacy rate. Results of the study are the range of sex ratio between 534 to 1184 and literacy rate ranging 36.1 percent to 97.91 percent respectively.

The density of Cladocerans was maximum in summer, while it was minimum in post-monsoon. Maximum species richness of Cladocerans was recorded in summer and Minimum species richness was recorded in winter at Yashwant lake Toranmal. The Cladocerans community structure depends on a variety of environmental factors that include biotic, such as predation or competition, as well as various abiotic factors. The density and species richness of cladocerans shows significant seasonal variations at all the three stations namely YLA, YLB and YLC of Toranmal. The Pearson correlation was also calculated by keeping cladocerans as dependent variable and other biotic and abiotic factors as independent variables.

Hampi the capital of powerful medieval state is famous for its unrivalled architectural features. The archaeological survey of the entire city of Vijaynagar helped us to explore various mounds and sites of historical importance. Archaeologists like John M. Fritz and Michell George brought into light some fascinating structure of the existing time. Other researchers who involved in its study are Carla M. Sinopoli, Kathleen D. Morrison and Anila Verghese. One can understand the Historical relevance of Hampi in the backdrop of Vijaynagar’s social, political and economical situation. However Vijaynagar’s own history has been remained a part of contested debate among the modern day scholarship. Scholars from Nilkanta Sastri to B.D. Chattopadhyaya and from Burton Stien to Nobura Karashima all have managed to justify the historical relevance of the empire to explain its historical construction.

Corporate has been described as the ‘most pervading of the fundamental principles of company law”. It constitutes the bedrock principle upon which company is regarded as an entity distinct from the shareholders constituting it. When a company is incorporated it is treated as a separate legal entity distinct from its promoters, directors, members, and employees; and hence the concept of the corporate veil, separating those parties from the corporate body, has arisen. The issue of “lifting the corporate veil” has been considered by courts and commentators for many years and there are instances in which the courts have negated from the strict application of this doctrine. This doctrine has been established for business efficacy, necessity and as a matter of convenience.

India is an agricultural country. Speedy development of agriculture is vital to the progress of our country. For securing maximum crop production, the best use of available land has to be made and the latest methods of crop husbandry are to be put into practice. A field study was carried out to analyze the short term impacts of replacing mineral by organic fertilizers on the microbial and biochemical parameters relevant for soil fertility and crop yield. Three types of fertilization regimes were compared: (1) conventional fertilizer regime with inorganic fertilizer, and combined integrated fertilizer regimes in which 25 % of the nutrients were supplied by either (2) rabbit manure or (3) vermicompost. The effects on microbial community structure and function (phospholipid fatty acid [PLFA] profiles, bacterial growth, fungal growth, basal respiration, ß-glucosidase, protease and phosphomonoesterase activities), soil biochemical properties (total C, dissolved organic carbon [DOC], N-NH4+, N-NO3-, PO4, total K) and crop yield were investigated in the samples collected from the experimental soil at harvest 3 months after addition of fertilizer.

The backward classes have come to realize that after all education is the greatest material benefit for which they can fight. We may give up material benefits, we may pass by material benefits of civilization, but we cannot give up our right and opportunities to reap the benefit of the highest education to the fullest extent. That the importance of this question from the point of view of the backward classes who have just realized that without education their existence is not safe. Many a time untouchability in India and slavery in Europe are being compared with the understanding that untouchability is tolerable or less harmful than slavery. It is true that neither the slavery nor untouchability is a free social order, but as Dr. Ambedkar maintained, If a distinction is to be made and there is no doubt that there is the distinction between the two, the test whether the education, virtue, happiness, culture, and wealth is possible within slavery or within untouchability.

The paper is an investigation of relatedness between philosophical orientations and attitudinal valences of secondary school teachers. Investigator developed and standardized the philosophical orientation measure adapted from scale developed by Thomas G Ryan, 2008. Other scale for attitudinal assessment was developed on the basis of Kerlinger’s (1967) study. This scale was used used to classify teachers in to Person oriented and Task oriented groups based on their attitudinal valences. Data obtained from philosophical orientation measure is analyzed in respect of two attitudinal polarities and across attribute variables-gender, nature of school and experience of the teachers. Data has been analyzed by utilizing one-way analysis of variance and student’s t-test. It has been found that philosophical orientation of secondary school teachers are not influenced by their attitudinal valences. Both tsk oriented and person oriented teachers have almost equal preference for philosophical alliance in respect of ‘Essentialism’, ‘Progressivism’, ‘Social Reconstructionism’ and ‘Behaviorism’ .

Global experiences on growth and development for any economy lay prime emphasis on industrialisation and employment generation. And a developing country, like India witnesses its employment growth not only by large scale industrial units but also by resource mobilisation via smaller ones. This non-technical article aims to scrutinize the economics behind this small scale sector in any country. This aims at altering a general discernment of the sector deficient research base. The answer to such a superfluous thought lies in the economic finding for various issues in the sector. The scheme of the article is designed in the manner that initially it provides a brief about small scale industrial units, its features and importance in a country.

Present study deals with the study of algae in Ganga water from Bithoor to Jajmau, Kanpur (U.P.). During present study a total number of 316 algal species spread over 83 chlorophyceae, 108 cyano phyceae, 121 bacillariophyceae, and 4 euglenophyceae were recorded from Ganga water between Bithoor to Jajmau A very large number of planktonic algae including diatoms formed broad chunk of algae. Algae showing luxuriant growth and qualitative abundance are of major significance and their implications in self-purification, disease spread and maintenance of water quality is crucial. Broad synoptical background of algal infestation at various stations has been illustrated with special reference to major algae. It has been observed that qualitatively the number of algae is maximum at Jajmau and minimum at Bithoor.

In this chapter we have considered that the inventory is depleted not only by demand but also by Weibull distribution deterioration. Moreover we find that the feasibility condition for working of this model is proposed. Also the above sensitivity tables shown that the in?uence of the parameter ‘ß’ is more significant than the changes in the other parameter like ‘a’ and C_4 values. lt would be interesting to deal with this model in the context of finite Horizon Model. However, one cannot expect a closed form solution for the optimum quantity to be retained. In such situation one can use any search method like Genetical Algorithm.

For the past several decades, the business world is going through a period of rapid changes; technology shifting from mechanical world to digital world - the internet, computers, cell-phones and the social media - having profound impact on the behavior of producers and consumers. On the other hand increasing population above sustainability level has forced businesses to device ways towards judicious utilization of scarce resources. Climatic changes like global warming and rising pollution are challenging countries to limit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, but at the cost of imposing a higher burden on business. These and the other changes require a major rethinking of marketing as a discipline and practice, because “It’s not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, it’s the one most responsive to change.

The social science disciplines are branches of knowledge taught and researched at the college or university level. Social science disciplines are defined and recognized by the academic journals in which research is published, and the learned social science societies and academic departments or faculties to which their practitioners belong. Social science fields of study usually have several sub-disciplines or branches, and the distinguishing lines between these are often both arbitrary and ambiguous.A career in social science can be a rewarding way to put study into practice. Opportunities in this career path include positions that use research and data to understand and improve society.

Implementation is the stage in the project where the theoretical design is turned into a working system. The implementation phase constructs, installs and operates the new system. The most crucial stage in achieving a new successful system is that it will work efficiently and effectively.

In religion, birds may serve as either messengers or priests and leaders for a deity, such as in the Cult of Make, in which the Tangata manu of Easter Island served as chiefs, or as attendants, as in the case of Hugin and Munin, two Common Ravens who whispered news into the ears of the Norse god Odin. Priests were involved in augury, or interpreting the words of birds while the "auspex" (from which the word "auspicious" is derived) watched their activities to foretell events. They may also serve as religious symbols, as when Jonah embodied the fright, passivity, mourning, and beauty traditionally associated with doves. Birds have themselves been deified, as in the case of the Common Peacock, which is perceived as Mother Earth by the Dravidians of India.

Indian planning is an open process. Much of the controversy and the debates that accompany the preparation of the plans are public. The initial aggregate calculations and assumptions are either explicitly stated or readily deducible, and the makers of the plans are not only sensitive but responsive to criticism and suggestions from a wide variety of national and international sources. From original formulation through successive modifications to parliamentary presentation, plan making in India has evolved as a responsive democratic political process and the culmination of the same in the final document is an impressive manifestation of the workings of an open society.
