EFFECT OF SOCIO-CONSTRUCTIVIST APPROACH OF TEACHING ON RESPONSIBLE ENVIRONMENTAL BEHAVIOUR IN RELATION TO INTELLIGENCE

Suman Saggu

Issue: Mar-Apr, 2016 | Volume/Issue:3/23 | Page No.: 1630 - 1639

 

The present paper discusses the effect of socio-constructivist approach of teaching on responsible environmental behaviour in relation to intelligence on the topics related to ecology for VII class curriculum. Teaching strategies using social constructivism as a referent include teaching in contexts that might be personally meaningful to students, negotiating taken-as-shared meanings with students, class discussion, small-group collaboration, and valuing meaningful activity over correct answers. This takes into account the social nature of both the local processes in collaborative learning and in the discussion of wider social collaboration in a given subject, such as science. The study employed an experimental method with pre- test – post -test design. Instructional material based on socio-constructivist based approach was prepared by investigator on the topics related to ecology from the prescribed VII class science text book. Coloured Progressive Matrics (1995) by Raven, Court and Raven was used to classify students into high, average and low Intelligent groups.  The final sample consisted of 120 VII class students, 60 of which were in treatment group and 60 were in control group. Responsible environmental behaviour test was developed by the investigator to find out the responsible behaviour of students towards environment before and after the implementation of socio-constructivist based instructional material. The data was statistically analyzed using 2x3 ANOVA and it was concluded that group taught through socio-constructivist approach develop significantly better Responsible environmental behaviour than the group taught through Traditional Teaching Approach.

JOSEPH CONRAD: A CRITICAL INTRODUCTION

Sambit Panigrahi

Joseph Conrad has been an eminent author of the modern times and his colonial writings do present a critique of the hypocritical nature of European imperialism. Many of his works are highly impressionistic in nature because of their graphic, physical repre sentations of not only the physical landscapes of the colonized world but also the cultural ethos of the different people of those lands. But at the same time, it must not be forgotten that Conrad does probe into the inmost recesses of the characters of hi s works and make a thorough investigation into the abounding complexities of the human mind .

Amninder Kaur

The present research aims to study the student?s attitude towards research methods and ac ademic achievement. This study was designed to acquire the knowledge of student?s attitude and practice towards research activities during academic year . The majority of students had no positive attitude towards research activities. This study showed tha t the majority of student?s capabilities and insight to the research activities are not up to the mark . It is recommended to improve student ?s knowledge and activity towards research . Students showed favorable knowledge of research, but their attitude to t he field was inadequate. More attention must be placed on these parameters in the curriculum to improve student interest in research. The impact of barrier factors on research demonstrates that there is a need for greater availability of information in ord er to solve the problems and change strategies for research. It can be concluded that almost all the graduating students had negative attitude towards research work which is not a welcomed development if a nation is to have a breakthrough in technology and research. The study recommends that the instructional process should be managed in appropriate ways so as to create positive attitudes towards the research methods.

BUS MONTIORING AND CONTROLLING SYSTEM USING GSM MODULE

Kanchan R. Shinde, Ashwini R. Deshmane, Sonali V. More & Indranil T. Mukherjee

The security in traveling is primary concern for everyone. In this project we have to discuss about the Bus Monitoring and Controlling System using GSM module. The road accident will be increased due to the bad construction of road and the careless driving. Why these problems are occurred? Because sometimes drivers are not used seat belt, driver removes his hand from the staring during driving, not maintain safe distance from the other vehicle. To remove such problems we have used number of sensors. Seat belt sensor and Touch sensor are fitted with the staring. And Sharp IR sensor is used to maintain the safe distance between two vehicles. Another problem are also occurred during the travelling. The temperature of bus engine will be increased in great extent and driver could not worry about the fuel level. To overcome this problems we can used sensors like temperature sensor and fuel level detector. What is the need of these sensors in today?s vehicle? Without this sensor vehicles are able to run from one place to other. Then why the need of use of sensors arises? The answer is to reduce the number of accidents that happen due to human error or technical error in the vehicle. The threshold of all sensors is set to their respective range. If it gets cross the set range then buzzer will be activated and the message is displayed on the LCD screen in the bus. And message will send to the number which is saved in the GSM module.

Remote data checking is of crucial importance in Multicloud storage. It enables the users to their required data without downloading the whole data. The existing remote data possession integrity checking (ID-DPDP) protocols have been designed in the PKI (public key infrastructure) model. The multi-cloud server has to validate the users? certificates before save the data uploaded by the clients in order to prevent attack. Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) RTOL and normal attack are the major security issue that poses a great threat to the availability of the multi cloud services. We propose an intrusion detection system with ID-DPDP strategy that help identify the data leakage or attacks .Data Leakage is main problem in our Multicloud server, we can apply data leakage algorithm for data leakage detection and prevention from the intruder ,RSA algorithm for cryptography and Hashing index.

GENESIS OF THE LATEST ASSISTED REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGY: RENTED WOMB

Manpreet Kaur Rajpal

The overwhelming desire to have a Child is the product of a deep-seated, instinctive and evolutionary urge to perpetuate the species and pass on the genetic material to another. It is this archetypal desire, embedded in our collective unconscious, which often spurs Human Beings to have children at any cost, come what may. ?It is this irrepressible drive that propels man to go to any extent to propagate his genes,? says Nirja Chawla, a Gynecologist, adding, ?Motherhood is important for completion of self.?1 To this biological drive add the socially conditioned expectations of the role and function of a woman and you know this is the reason why so many people flock to fertility clinics in the region. And it is a blatant exploitation of this desire to have Children that makes millionaires out of Gynecologists in the business who laughs all the way to the bank. Medicine has made some remarkable advances in the field of Reproductive Technology. The term Reproductive Technology refers to various medical procedures that are designed to alleviate infertility, or the inability of a couple to produce a child of their own. These include Artificial insemination, In-Vitro Fertilization or ?Test-tube? Babies, and Surrogate Motherhood. When successful, these technologies are the miracle of life for couples who have often spent years trying to have a child, and who have exhausted all other avenues for conceiving a child of their own. My research Paper throws light on the Genesis of this neo reproductive technology known as Rented womb or Surrogacy.

PEACE FOR ALL MANKIND THROUGH SCIENCE FICTION GENRE

Nandita Roy

Since time immemorial, most cultures have hypothesized in the possibility of extra-terrestrial life. The fact that the supernatural or intelligent life has existed in the cosmos has reignited a fresh debate, which attracts serious discussion by professional scientists and scholars. Even the authors and film producers today are increasingly counting on the theme of fascinating encounters with aliens in their creatively imaginative ventures. In many popular depictions, during apocalypse, there is a common belief that aliens have flown down to earth as peace messiahs to prevent extermination of living species. Humanitarians as well as film makers on science fiction too have reaffirmed the notion that while humans have aggressively destroyed civilizations, the peace-loving extra-terrestrials have been depicted in various genres as attempting to come to our rescue. This paper highlights two themes underlying the significance of science fiction in promoting peace for mankind: (1) to explore whether science fiction cinema/genre can be effective in propagating conflict resolution, peace and progress on a universal level and (2) to assess the crucial role of contemporary authors and movie-makers who experiment with the genre of Ufology with the hope of bringing about a new peace- policy on planet earth.

Abhay R. Kobarne, Vineet K. Gaikwad , Sourabh S. Dhaygude, Nikhil A. Bhalerao

The paper represents an application of ?5S? technology in one of the MNC Menon Piston Ltd., plant 2, Kupwad, Sangli, Maharashtra which is the leading manufacturer of Pistons and Piston Pins in the world. ?5S? in simple terms is a Japanese technique consisting of five ?S? terms namely Seiri (sorting), Seiton (set in order), Seiso (shine), Seiketsu (standardize) and Shitsuke (sustain) having a deep sense for managing the work place. The aim of the implementation of ?5S? in the organization is to organize a work space for efficiency and effectiveness by identifying and storing the items used, maintaining the area and items, and sustaining the new order. The decision-making process usually comes from a dialogue about standardization, which builds understanding among employees of how they should do the work. The need for the implementation of ?5S? in the organization came into existence due to unorganized work-stations, uncomfortable working environment and the excessive wastes in the company. Hence to get rid-off of the above factors, there was an urgent need for the successive implementation of ?5S? in the organization. The effective following on ?5S? in the organization by the various official staff and workman?s strengthens the work ethic between them resulting in the motivation towards teamwork. The successive implementation of ?5S? transformed the organization drastically, right from the working conditions to the employees working satisfaction. Keywords:5S, Workplace Management

MASS CUSTOMIZATION: ASIAN PAINT?S STEP TO SUCCESS

Preeti Kaushal

While criticizing traditional marketing, because of its preoccupation with mass marketing, where customers are aggregated into large homogenous groups, targeted with same products and services through the same message. The critics argue that this is a supply centric approach and individual customer needs are being ignored. Today‟s customers are seeking product offerings that match their individual requirements. They want to look and feel different from other customers, want to design their own dreams. This especially is true when people want to design their homes. They just want to put their dreams and aspirations in designing their homes.

Girija N Srinivasalu

Present Education system demands new techniques in teaching and learning process. Today students expect joyful environment in the classroom for learning with interest and attention. There are teachers who use artistic material in teaching learning process to attract the students towards experiential learning. A cartoon is one such material with which a teacher can provide joyful environment and also can make her/his students to think differently and encourage them to create something on their own. It is a visual media with lot of humour which can be either in the form of single picture or series of pictures, captioned or non-captioned. This approach helps the teachers to develop imaginative power amongst students by building proper knowledge.Cartoon learning can be helpful for initiating debate and focused group discussions in a classroom among learners as it stimulates them to engage in critical thinking in order to assess and formulate their views and opinions. Among many subject of secondary school curriculum, Social science is subject full of controversial issues provokes teachers to think differently to make it free from misconceptions. Imaginary visuals created by the teacher in the form of cartoons for a controversial issue in History would give clear picture of concepts. Weaving concepts with cartoons is a challenge to the social science teacher. Here social science teacher as a Researcher thought of an experimental study to verify about her assumptions in social science teaching and learning process.

The corporate governance principles hence adopted by any corporate entity affects the firm?s ability to respond to the content and context in which it operates and its overall performance. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between selected corporate governance principles on financial performance of investment banks in the Nairobi Securities Exchange Kenya. The objective of the study was to investigate the relationship between corporate governance principle aspects (board composition, CEO duality and board size principles) and financial performance of investment banks in the Nairobi Securities Exchange. The study used a descriptive research design where primary data was collected from the seven investment banks in the Nairobi Securities Exchange in Nairobi County using a questionnaire issued to the managers while secondary data was extracted from published financial statements. Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used by the researcher to facilitate the analysis and interpretation of data and the results obtained were presented using tables, frequencies, graphs and charts for easy interpretation. The results indicated that the corporate governance principles (CEO duality and Board composition) had a strong negative correlation on financial performance in investment banks while board size had a weak negative correlation on financial performance in investment banks. The regression analysis showed that CEO duality, board composition and board size had a significant effect on the financial performance in investment banks. The study recommends that investment banks operations to be governed through a clear management structure that enhances security of shareholder wealth and sustainability of the organisation. This is to be achieved by continually reviewing regulations regarding management governance structures so as to assure transparency in limiting CEO duality thus assuring legitimacy in the firm performance.

PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AND CASH TRANSFER

V. S. Kannan Kamalanathan

The Government of India has announced that subsidies on food grains, fertilizers, kerosene and liquefied petroleum gas will be replaced by cash transfers to end users. A close examination of the objectives of the subsidies in food grains, fertilizer and kerosene and the implications of the shift raise some challenging questions. According to a recent report in the business magazine Business India, ?A confidential study conducted by the Prime Minister‟s Office (PMO) in consultation with various ministries has revealed that, based on the actual money spent by the central government during 2010-2011 under various subsidies totaling Rs. 211,474 crore (approximately $38 billion), the scheme can result in a net saving of Rs. 33,000 crore ($6 billion) by way of plugging leakages.? The replacement of price subsidies by cash payments is a longstanding demand of the World Bank and other representatives of international big business. So the government of India is approaching this issue of subsidies from economic perspective not from the social perspective. By doing so the original purpose of giving subsidies is defeated.

DE-SPIRITED NATURE AND THE ENLIGHTENED MAN: AN ECOLOGICAL CRITIQUE OF JOSEPH CONRAD’S HEART OF DARKNESS

Sambit Panigrahi

Issue: Mar-Apr, 2016 | Volume/Issue:3/23 | Page No.: 2010 - 2021

Joseph Conrad, one of the most celebrated writers of modernity, is known for his impressionistic depictions of the encounter between man and Nature in different exotic settings of the globe during the colonial project carried out by the European colonizers. It is interesting to note however that Conrad’s writing anachronistically fits into the basic theoretical premises proposed by the recently evolved critical paradigm of ecocriticism. Ecocriticism, as we all know, questions the thoroughgoing anthropocentric worldview introduced to the world by the Enlightenment—a worldview in which man posits himself as the centre of the universe while considering Nature as a life-less, spirit-less, peripheral object. In the light of the above theoretical inputs, this article intends to analyze Joseph Conrad’s magnum opus Heart of Darkness in the light of ecocriticism’s critique of a human-centered worldview.

INTEGRATING ETHICAL AND MORAL VALUES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS IN SOCIETY

Nishant Gunjan & Ms. Aparna Bharti

Issue: Mar-Apr, 2016 | Volume/Issue:3/23 | Page No.: 2022 - 2030

 Many environmental problems that we face today are the result of our attitudes and cultural beliefs about environment and its management. Environmental degradation is considered as the result of western belief about environment according to which environment is only for human use. For most of human history, ethics has concentrated on human rights (anthropocentrism); it is only recently that ethics has formally begun to define the rights of animals, plants and other organism (biocentrism). Whatever our beliefs and attitudes may be some mismanagement is done at policy and planning levels where basic condition of equity is not considered and discrimination on racial and class basis is common. There are limits to nature’s capacity to absorb impacts. Once alteration of nature’s initial state occurs, it cannot quickly revert back to the initial state. Nature has a limited capacity to withstand rapid change.  It is clear from the study of teachings of different religions that every religion give due worth to environment. Religions teach us that we should consider ourselves as trustees, not the master of environment. As trustees or stewards of environment, we can use the resources but we should not exploit them. Thus, today, the challenge before mankind is to determine the state in which we wish to live and to continue living within the limits inherent in nature’s processes, within nature’s carrying capacity. This paper focuses on the key areas of ethical and moral dimensions towards environmental awareness. Key words- Ethical and moral dimensions of environment, Sustainable development, Environmental Awareness, Immediate Technology

OCCUPATIONAL STRESS AMONG ELEMENTARY TEACHERS IN RELATION TO LOCUS OF CONTROL AND SOCIO DEMOGRAPHIC VARIABLES

Indira Dhull & Rajesh Bhardwaj

Issue: Mar-Apr, 2016 | Volume/Issue:3/23 | Page No.: 2031 - 2040

In the modern era, it’s teachers community who is most severely exposed to the public criticism and held responsible for not so well accomplishing the task of making  the future of Nation by their diminishing sense of sincerity, dedication and responsibility towards their job. If there is any veracity in the above public notion, something must be deplorably wrong somewhere which led to the corrosion of values and respect of teacher, which he used to command in the past. This is an established fact that teacher has a vital role in making or marring the future/career of a student. Thus he is the dominating factor in furthering the national development. Since this study is restricted to the elementary school teachers, here the participation of teachers becomes more crucial as this stage is the base of a child on which the whole load stands. You may drop the superb infrastructure minus the competent teacher, you won’t and you can’t move an inch towards education. For the competency of a teacher, it is important to provide a conducive environment where he could attain the objective of improving child’s growth, child’s behavior, child’s personality, child’s education, its type and ways in all over the world but a very negligible thought has been given on the problems and hindrances confronted by a hapless teacher in the present set up. Now it is realized that yet we have not lost the time to ponder over the issues and come out with some concrete solution by which the teachers can be dragged out of this marsh of stress and strain so that they can enjoy complete job-satisfaction and in return deliver the superb goods. This is in favour of the health of our society and qualitative and quantitative progress of our Nation. If the things are set right, in favour of elementary school teachers who are the worst sufferers, they can contribute to the nation’s progress.

EDUCATION: A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT IN INDIA

Mrs. Vishavpreet Kaur

Issue: Mar-Apr, 2016 | Volume/Issue:3/23 | Page No.: 2041 - 2045

 The importance of education cannot be denied in one’s life. It sustains the human values which contribute to the individual and collective well-being. It forms the basis for lifelong learning and inspires confidence to face challenges. It provides the skills to individuals to become more self- reliant and aware of right opportunities. It also enhances the ability of individuals to act more responsible and more informed citizens and have a voice in politics and society, which is essential for sustaining democracy. It is essential for eradicating poverty and it allows people to be more productive and playing greater roles in economic life and earning a better living. The education is the key which allows people to move up in the world, seek better jobs, and ultimately succeed in their lives. So education is very important, and none should be deprived of it. The importance of primary education has been neglected by India since independence knowingly or unknowingly. However, Government of India now is willing to improve primary education by bringing legislation i.e. Right to Education. The paper tries to bring out the meaning of much awaited Right to Education (RTE) 2009, act as a fundamental right.

ACCOUNTING SYSTEM OF OPERATING AND NON-OPERATING INCOMES OF POWER COMPANIES: AN OVERVIEW

Sakshi Vij

Issue: Mar-Apr, 2016 | Volume/Issue:3/23 | Page No.: 2059 - 2069

Accounting is often called the language of business through which the business entity communicates
with the outer world. In order to make the language of accounting to convey the same meaning to all
people as far as practicable, it is necessary that is should be based on certain uniform and
scientifically laid down standards. So the accountants from all over the world have developed certain
rules, procedures and conventions that represent a consensus of the profession of a good accounting
practices and procedures and are generally referred as „Generally Accepted Accounting Principles‟
(GAAP). In the simple words, it can be stated that generally accepted accounting principles, concepts
and conventions are the fundamental rules of Accounting which are universally used and accepted by
the accountants all over the world as general guidelines for preparing accounting statements. In other
words, the rules and conventions of accounting are commonly referred to as principles. The word
principle is here used to mean a general law or a rule adopted or professed as a guide to action; or a
settled basis of conduct or practice. These principles have developed in accordance with usage,
experience, historical precedents, and professional bodies, government regulations with the passage
of time and with changing needs of business. Under the hybrid of the accrual and cash system of
accounting, expenses are reflected in the accounts for the period in which they accrue whereas
incomes are reflected in the accounts for the period in which they are received. This system is adopted
in the institution in which the revenues are uncertain but the expenses are fixed. This system follows
the convention of conservatism and „Receipts and Expenditure Account‟ is prepared on this basis by
the institutions such as local authorities, professionals and government institutions. In this paper I
have discussed about the Accounting System of Operating and Non-Operating Incomes of Power
Companies.
Keywords: GAAP, Accounting System, Operating & Non-Operating Income, Grants-in-aid,

Mahavir Singh Chhonkar

Issue: Mar-Apr, 2016 | Volume/Issue:3/23 | Page No.: 2094 - 2097

Professional development is a broad term, encompassing a range of people, interests and approaches. Those who engage in professional development share a common purpose of enhancing their ability to do their work. At the heart of professional development is the individual\'s interest in lifelong learning and increasing their own skills and knowledge. Professional development refers to skills and knowledge attained for both personal development and career advancement. Professional development encompasses all types of facilitated learning opportunities, ranging from college degrees to formal coursework, conferences and informal learning opportunities situated in practice. It has been described as intensive and collaborative, ideally incorporating an evaluative stage. There are a variety of approaches to professional development, including consultation, coaching, and communities of practice, lesson study, mentoring, reflective supervision and technical assistance.

Rutuparna Mohanty

Issue: Mar-Apr, 2016 | Volume/Issue:3/23 | Page No.: 2100 - 2104

 This paper covers a research work on the contributions of Ramakrushna Samantasimhar, a great hero of Odisha who dared to protest the mighty British power in a remote place like Bari in Jajpur district during the Great Revolt of 1857. He united the landlords of Bari against the land revenue policy of the British government. He taught a great lesson to the British Authority to withdraw the Sunset Law (Permanent Settlement) after the Great Revolt. His gallantry encouraged Bari people to participate actively in the freedom movement later on. Details of his contributions have been described in this paper in a lucid manner which would inspire the readers of History, students, research scholars and academicians interested in history of freedom movement of India.

Prof. Rajendra Thigale

Issue: Mar-Apr, 2016 | Volume/Issue:3/23 | Page No.: 2117 - 2123

 At present the education of teachers is being attempted for the primary and secondary teachers only. It is necessary to bring the teachers in other professional institutions also within the gamut of this teacher education.

There are around 27 College of education in Pune district and about 10 teacher educators in each college. The approximate population for the research is therefore about 250. As sample of 50 teacher educators were approached to carry out the survey. These were spread across 14 different colleges. There researchers have used Questionnaire (Open Ended and Close Ended) for collecting the data from the selected sample and interview of noted educationists to collect their views. The percentage is used as the statistical tool. The conclusions were as follows the graduation and post-graduation have been voted as a basic qualification for the admission to the B.Ed. course as well national level entrance examinations, the name of the course and are quite satisfied with the current name i.e. ‘Bachelor of Education’ The course should follow the local board pattern but should also start focusing on the new CBSE and the like syllabi. The current grading system is quite satisfactory and should be retained. The number of subjects should be not more than five. Environment Education should be the optional subject. 
The current practical is close to the theory and is sufficient and absolutely necessary. There are no practical which need to be removed 
The Community work in the course is quite routine and need to be made more useful to the society.
