The development of technology and corresponding progress in every field has enabled the use of diagnostic tools for better alleviation of the human distress in every field especially the field of mental health and education. However, the danger of misdiagnosis and/or noon-identification of the real areas of deficits can be extremely debilitating. This paper deals with a new but most important area of ‘awkwardness’ which has not been identified as an area of concern. It has been wrongly clubbed with Autism or totally ignored. Picking up from Tashiro’s (2017) book, “Awkward, The science of why we’re Socially Awkward and why that’s Awesome,” the author tries to bring in a new dimension of understanding to enable teachers identify and empower students with such difficulties. Tashiro was himself a person who overcame awkwardness to attain a doctorate in psychology. He has developed a scale for awkwardness which has been provided as also the negative manifestations of awkward traits and its conversion to positive traits. The author does not intend to bring in a new label in diagnosis, rather is interested in providing teachers a better tool to prevent students who do not fit into the existing framework of disabilities to promote growth.

The assessment of the existing literature on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and social development showcase paucity of research studies in the field connecting the practicing realities of CSR to a stable and workable law and regulatory theoretical framework. The preponderance of business and management discipline in the theoretical groundwork of CSR has led to gaps and missing links when the deeper analysis is sought in terms of exploring the origins of CSR, its inclusion within specific regulatory arena and the trends that are being imposed with multiple governance fabrics in the contemporary scenario (Carroll and Shabana 2010). Although the growth of CSR processes and practices have been explosive worldwide, there remains miniscule understanding pertaining to critical components such as theoretical framework, contemporary shift and implications of such developments.

The term security is full of ambiguity and has become a much contested notion of late. Within the discipline of international relations, the traditional study and discussion of security revolves around issues of war and peace in an international system among and between self-interested nation states with overwhelming focus on military security. Feminists and other critical scholars have raised the question: security for whom? Feminists define security broadly in multidimensional or multilevel terms – as the diminution of all forms of violence, including physical, structural, and ecological. According to most IR feminists, security threats include domestic violence, rape, poverty, gender subordination, and ecological destruction as well as traditional wars. Rape in war is in direct correlation to the study of women, their health and development. This paper will attempt to analyse security from a feminist perspective by illustrating how sex slavery/sexual exploitation and rape are threats to women’s security and why this is not seen as a security threat though it threatens half the population. Sex slavery and rape has been used as instruments of war since time immemorial and even institutionalised by states; (the Japanese and the ‘Comfort Women’ during the World War II, the American in the Vietnam War, the Bosnian Civil War, etc).

In the present research article we study the fundamental differential equation of the neoclassical economical growth model subject to foreign financing. We achieved a threshold parameter ? ?1, which can be consumed to command a national financial network for exportation and its foreign liability.It is observed that the fundamental equation of neoclassical economic growth is achieved from the association of the income identity, gross investment identity and production function of time (t). Gross Domestic Product (GDP) can be consumed, invested or used to assist foreign liability. The durability characters of the differential model are also studied. This model relies on simplifying assumption. These assumptions extract the development of the model. An assumption is best when it helps us to build a model for the observations and forecast well.

What’s a curriculum? A teacher education curriculum is intended to provide children and young people with the knowledge and skills required to lead successful lives. Today, there is growing concern that the taught curriculum needs to be reconsidered and redesigned. The use of the word ‘innovation’ in discussions about the school curriculum and classroom teaching practice has become widespread. The teaching profession is charged with the immense task of creating conditions and developing processes for building the human skills and capacities. It is no surprise that in any national education system teachers are considered the most important element where educational quality is concerned. During the last three decades, the teacher education curricula have received severe criticism and their weaknesses have been well exposed. The Curriculum framework of Teacher education (1998) or more recent NCFTE (2009) one hardly talk about competency based teacher education or the process of making a competency based teacher. The experiential based teacher education is the need of the hour especially at pre-service teacher education programme. The aims of paper are discuss in detail the good practices to be followed in the Teacher education curriculum for transforming effective classroom practice.

Diasporic writers often talk about how difficult it is to negotiate life away from the homeland. It has , many a time, been considered as an uprooting, a forced transplanting and an unpleasant experience. However with the passage of time, these themes have changed their tone and content. So the present writers record the struggle and the trials of the immigrants but also delve upon how skillfully they adapt to their new abode and find much comfort and financial prosperity offshores. The present paper discusses one such work which offers new interpretation of diasporic writing.

India is home to the largest population of malnourished and hunger-stricken people and children, leading to high infant and maternal mortality. Along with these issues are a deluge of problems ranging from diseases, lack of education, lack of hygiene, and illnesses. Under the Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS), one trained person, the “anganwadi worker” is allotted to a population of 1000, to bridge the gap between the person and organized healthcare, and to focus on the health and educational needs of children aged 0-6 years. The study aimed to find out the various socio-economic issues faced by the anganwadi workers in Imphal city, Manipur. A survey was conducted on a sample of 100 anganwadi workers from different anganwadi centres. Findings revealed that though the government spent adequate amount of money on the ICDS programme, the impact was not very effective. Besides, the anganwadi workers faced various problems related to poor infrastructural facilities like lack of proper buildings for the anganwadi centres, unhygienic and non nutritious food supplies, and delayed honorarium. Findings also suggested that for effective functioning of anganwadis, the anganwadi workers should be given adequate infrastructural facilities with more hygienic food supplies and substantial honorarium.

Innovation have become the life line of many organization today. They have to keep innovating the products or processes to keep themselves competitive. This urge to innovate do not always materialise as they miss out the usability of the innovation in real world. Adoption of an innovation by the consumers is very crucial to the success of it. If the consumer finds no use in the innovative features, the innovation fails. This study is undertaken to examine the perception of usage of innovative features among the consumers of passenger cars. Further, this study examines the influence of gender and marital status on perception about the use of innovation. It is very clear that the consumers do find the innovative features in cars highly helpful to them which serves their needs and suits their lifestyle. No significant difference is visible in the perception of male and female respondents. Both find the innovative features highly useful.

The healthcare sector plays a major role in maintaining the health and well-being of the people of a nation. At the same time, it contributes to the economic development of a country. India lacks the financial resources required to make stronger its pitiable healthcare infrastructure. India’s investment in public health has remained around 1% of its GDP, making it one of the lowest in the world. The government is deviating from its core strategies by not rising the share for the healthcare sector. The Companies Act, 2013 requires companies above a certain financial threshold to spend at least 2% of their average net profit of the preceding three years on corporate social responsibility (CSR). The concept of CSR has the potential to bring a transformation in the healthcare sector. It is witnessed that education, health, sanitation and rural development remained key focus areas of CSR initiatives. It is argued that the existing CSR approach is scattered and healthcare outreach initiatives by the companies are happening in pockets. Nonetheless, with rising fiscal deficit and leakages in the welfare schemes, CSR makes an attempt to address the problems of the society in a cost-effective manner. In this background, the objectives of the study are: (a) To study the state of the Indian healthcare sector, (b) To understand the financing of the healthcare needs of Indians over the years, (c) To look at CSR initiatives in the Indian healthcare sector, and (d) To explore the alternative ways of financing the Indian healthcare sector.

During the past two decades, various measures have been adopted to promote and advance accounting in Iran via harmonizing the domestic accounting practices with International norms and standards. Although Iran has employed International Accounting Standards as the basis for developing its National Accounting Standards, there are still some differences between Iranian and international standards, and there are some certain International Accounting Standards that are not applicable in Iran. A host of endemic factors, such as existing laws and rules, religious beliefs, culture, economic and political conditions, have influenced the National Accounting Standards setting processes. IFRS adoption is mandatory for countries such as EU (Europe Union) listed countries while is voluntary for some countries like Iran. But because the adoption benefits cannot be ignored, Over the past two decades, the Iranian accounting standards setter, Audit Organization, has decided to eliminate the differences between IFRS and NAS as a part of its convergence and harmonization project. In 2011, the Audit Organization decided that IFRS implementation would be permitted for all listed companies. The primary purpose of implementing IFRS is to enhance the international comparability of financial reports, which would attract more foreign investors to participate in the Iranian capital market, improve the efficient allocation of resources and boost the competitiveness of the market. In spite of her announcement, Iran has not supported IFRS. In this context a study is made to look into the issues in the implementation of IFRS in Iranian financial institutions.

Muscular fitness denotes the functional efficiency of the muscular system and it encompasses the components of Muscular Strength, Muscular Power, Muscular Endurance and Muscular Flexibility. Muscular strength is described as the ability of maximum amount of resistance that can be overcome by a muscle group or groups of muscles in a single maximum effort. Muscular power represents the capacity of the explosive nature of a particular muscle group or groups of muscles and represents the capacity of overcoming resistance in terms of time. Muscular endurance refers to the ability of overcoming the lighter amount of resistance over a number of times in sustainable manner by the muscles or groups of muscles without being fatigued quickly. Muscular flexibility refers to the ability of having higher elasticity in the muscles or groups of muscles leading to higher tonus for the muscles or groups of muscles and thereby allowing higher range of motion of the proximal joint of such muscles. Though muscular strength is not identified as a component of health fitness, but the muscular endurance and the muscular flexibility are included as components of health fitness. In terms of physical performance and sports performances all the four are included as fitness components and to excel in sports all the four muscular components are essential in different proportions keeping in view of the sporting activity involved. Even sports participation also is viewed as a means of enhancing health to individuals, whereas the concept of excellence in sports leads to the concept of recreation to human beings. In terms of sports performance the muscular power component is highly valued. It would be ideal to possess the attitude of physical fitness and if the attitude of physical fitness can be inculcated in the adolescents and youth, it would serve excellent benefits to the society and to nation. Though the physical fitness comes by involvement in physical exercises scientifically designed, it can also happen due to the type of lifestyle and the physical activity requirements of the regular life could also influence this attitude. The Dairy Science College students are one important student population with a specific study pattern and they study different streams of study or branches of study and would require different kinds of physical movements during their study period, which could cause lasting influence on their lifestyle and on the physical fitness attitude also.

Este trabalho consiste descrever um método de cálculo de velocidade de veículos envolvidos em acidentes de trânsito por meio da análise de deformações mecânicas em peças diversas desses veículos. O método não é inédito no mundo mas no Brasil os estudos estão em fase embrionária, sendo aplicado alguns métodos como o da conservação de energia total e o da conservação da quantidade de movimento, mas em ambos as deformações das peças não são levadas em consideração, embora considerável parte da energia ou da quantidade de movimento sejam utilizadas para se causar a deformação em si. Alguns autores descrevem em seus trabalhos científicos cada um desses métodos para se calcular velocidade, mas não levam em consideração, por exemplo, o momento de inércia de cada um dos veículos, quando consideram o fazem como estimativa a ser acrescentada no cálculo das velocidades de cada um dos veículos as avarias observadas nos veículos, mas deixa de levar em conta as deformações mecânicas ocorridas nas estruturas dos mesmos. O objetivo desse é a análise de deformações em peças estruturais de veículos automotores envolvidos em acidentes de trânsito e uma possível maneira de se determinar ou estimar a velocidade de tráfego de cada um dos veículos antes da colisão. Esse estudo vem aplicar o conhecimento sobre deformações mecânicas na prática de cálculo de velocidades de colisão em acidentes de trânsito, no campo da engenharia forense, e com isso, procurar apontar, em muitos caso, o verdadeiro causador da infração de excesso de velocidade, ou um cálculo mais aproximado do verdadeiro valor de velocidades dos veículos envolvidos numa colisão.

The excessive emphasis on academic achievement on Indian school students puts them at risk of feeling worthlessness and insecurity. Students falling prey to this kind of pressure often go through psychological problems like stress, anxiety and depression. It is thus important to empower students to face setbacks and adversities in life.School students are largely influenced by their teachers. Teachers being role model for their students should be resilient in order that their students can be resilient individuals. Thus it is important to study the academic resilience of future teachers (pre- service teachers). The purpose of the present study was to develop reliable and valid likert type scale to measure academic resilience of preservice teachers. Intensive review of literature related to academic resilience helped in developing the tool and deciding its dimensions. The content validity of the scale was sought by consulting various experts in the field of education. Based on the recommendations of experts a scale comprising of 56 items was developed. After finding discrimination index, a final draft of academic resilience scale with 43 items emerged. Further in order to determine construct validity of the scale, exploratory factor analysis was performed. In this way, a two factor construct of 32 items explaining 28.466 % variance was obtained.The internal consistency reliability of the scale was found to be 0.91. Hence the present study shows that the academic resilience scale is a valid and reliable tool to study the academic resilience of pre-service teachers.

Globalization and liberalization of the economy has increased the competition among corporate sector. It also emerges in human being as a result of pressures emanating from several experiences or challenging situation. Organisational life is quite stressful. Work pressures, tight schedules, meetings, unhelpful colleagues, critical bosses, incompetent subordinates made the life of executives quite miserable. Individuals and organisations have to pay economic and human cost due to these problems. Stress is defined as “the non-specific response of the body to any demand placed upon it”. Stress at work can be a real problem to the organization as well as for its workers. Good management and good work organization are the best forms of stress prevention. If employees are already stressed, their managers should be aware of it and know to help.

Some have relied only on lists of supporters of rival claimants produced before them, as in Bihar (June 1968) when the Congress Party was called upon to form a government. In some cases, physical verification by counting heads was carried out as in the case of Gujarat (1971), when the leader of the newly formed Congress (C) Party was called upon to form the government. Similarly, in Uttar Pradesh (1967), the leader of the Congress Party was appointed Chief Minister after the Governor had physically counted his supporters. In the case of Rajasthan (1967), physical verification was resorted to and the leader of the Congress Party was called upon to form the Government; but, in determining the relative strengths of the Congress Party and Samyukta Dal, the Independents were ignored.
