The study, in total, included 10 adults, 5 of which were diagnosed with mild mental retardation (N=5) and the other 5 were diagnosed with moderate mental retardation (N=5), all the 10 participants were exhibiting aggressive behaviors. The age of the participants ranged from 18-40 years and it was divided into two groups (18 years 1 month-30 years, N=5; 30 years 1 month to 40 years, N=5). The pattern of “before and after without control group design” was followed in the present study. Binet-Kamat test of Intelligence was used to assess the intelligence level, VSMS was used to assess the adaptive behaviours of the participants and Behavioral Assessment scale for Adults with Mental Retardation (BASAL-MR) Part –B was used to assess Aggressive behaviours. Intervention of anger management training program, on individual basis, was given in 12 sessions. Post-test scores were obtained by using BASAL-MR PART-B after giving the intervention. Results suggested that anger management training program is effective in reducing aggressive behaviours in adults with mental retardation. Results are also discussed with respect to participant’s age and level of retardation. <#LINE#> @ @ World Health Organisation.

In the present study livestock owners’ adoption, knowledge and awareness behavior about selected animal husbandry practices were the dependent variables. The selected independent variables were - socio-economic, socio-psychological and communication variables. Path analysis adopting the multivariate path model as suggested by Land was used to isolate the direct as well as indirect effects of exogenous variables on endogenous variable. The result of path analysis for the respondents represent the direct and indirect effects for 21 selected exogenous variables on overall knowledge score (knowledge index) about selected animal husbandry practices. It was revealed that the communication skill had the largest direct effect (0.398) on knowledge of improved animal husbandry practices. The residual effect had been found to be 0.3456 or, in a way34.56percent of the total variability have been left unexplained. The family size had the largest direct effect on adoption of improved animal husbandry practices. Communication skills, mass media, education of the respondent and material possession were the key elements which directly and indirectly promote adoption of improved animal husbandry practices. Land had the largest direct effect on awareness level about improved animal husbandry practices. <#LINE#> @ @ Land K.C., Principles of Path analysis, E.F.

In general, workers of tea gardens in Assam are backward in education, despite having basic schooling facilities in most of the tea gardens. Moreover, literacy rate among women workers is very low in comparison to their male counterparts. Lack of education and awareness are the major hindrances to overall capacity building of tea garden workers. Perhaps, poor educational status of the tea garden workers has major contribution in increasing risk factors of their community in many dimensions. To understand the correlation among educational vulnerability, occupational dynamics and possible risk factors of tea garden workers, a case study is conducted on Dewan Tea Garden, Cachar, Assam, India, which is more than 100 years old. <#LINE#> @ @ Verma R., Verma P. and Shrivastava V., A Picturesque Study of Internet Media Tools Leveraging Global Social Changes, International Research Journal of Social Sciences, 1(1), 23-28 (2012) @No $ @ @ Brown F.

Not only war, but natural disasters also caused massive destruction in the economic sector of the northern region. major objective of this study is to identify the impacts of drought and flood in the economy of the northern region of Sri Lanka. Primary and secondary data were used to conduct this study. Primary data were collected using Interviews and direct observations. Several department sources such Agriculture department and agrarian department were used as secondary sources. Drought and flood events were identified using Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) method. Then details regarding economic losses due to drought and flood data were collected through primary and secondary data. Collected data were analyzed and mapped using separate sheet and GIS. Most of the economic losses were recorded in the low lying areas of the Northern region of Sri Lanka due to flood. Highest amount of housing damages and commercial sector losses were caused by the flood, during the North East Monsoon Season (NEMS) and Second Inter Monsoon Season(SIMS). Highest extent of agriculture losses were recorded in Mullaitivuand the lowest in Mannar districts. Highest extent of paddy and cash crop damaged during the study period were recorded in Mullaitivu, subsidiary crops damaged inVavuniya and vegetable crops damaged in Jaffna district. Compare to drought flood caused more economic losses in the study area and the NEMS has maximum extent of the agriculture damages. New strategies have to be adopted in the study area to avoid the much impact due to drought and flood in the study area. <#LINE#> @ @ Balsundarampillai P., Development Strategies of the Northern Province of Sri Lanka, Workshop organized by Northern Provincial Council, Northern Province, (2011) @No $ @ @ Reports of the District Agriculture Department, 2002 to 2012, Kilinochchi District, (2012) @No $ @ @ District Secretariat of Kilinochchi District, Statistical Hand Books of Kilinochchi District, 2002 to 2012, Planning Branch, District Secretariat of Kilinochchi, (2012) @No $ @ @ Reports of the District Agriculture Department, 2002-2012, Mullaitivu District, (2012) @No $ @ @ Reports of the District Agriculture Department, 2002 to 2012, Jaffna District, (2012) @No $ @ @ Reports of the District Secretariat of Jaffna, (2013) @No $ @ @ Reports of the District Agriculture Department, 2002 to 2012, Vavuniya District, (2012) @No $ @ @ Reports of the District Agriculture Department, 2002 to 2012, Mannar District, (2012) @No $ @ @ Provincial Agriculture Department, Reports of the Provincial Agricultural Departments, Ministry of Agriculture 2002-2012, Northern Province, (2013) @No $ @ @ Planning Branch of Northern Provincial Council, “Statistical Hand books Northern Provincial Council”, 2008-2012, Planning Secretariat, Northern Provincial Council, Jaffna, (2012) @No $ @ @ Report of the North East Irrigation and Agriculture Project( NEIAP), District Secretariat, Mannar District, 23-29, (2004) @No $ @ @ District Secretariat of Vavuniya District “Statistical Hand Books of Vavuniya District”2002, 2003, 2004.2005.2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, Planning Branch, District Secretariat of Vavuniya, (2013) @No $ @ @ District Secretariat of Mannar District “Statistical Hand Books of Mannar District” 2002, 2003, 2004.2005.2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, Planning Branch, District Secretariat of Mannar, (2013) @No $ @ @ @No <#LINE#>Women Migrants and their Mental Health: A Study of Working Women Hostellers in Mumbai<#LINE#>Reshmi@RS,Unisa@Sayeed,Juby @Ann Jose<#LINE#>34-41<#LINE#>5.ISCA-IRJSS-2014-168.pdf<#LINE#>Institute of Health Management Research, #319, Near Thimma Reddy Layout, Hulimangala Post, Electronic City Phase-1, Bangalore-560105,Karnataka,INDIA @ Department of Mathematical Demography and Statistics, International Institute for Population Sciences, Govandi-station Road, Deonar, Mumbai- 400 088,INDIA<#LINE#>5/7/2014<#LINE#>15/8/2014<#LINE#> Mental health is an important component of the total positive health and is interwoven closely with the physical and physiological dynamics of the human body. Migrant population, being a non-native population, is vulnerable and is exposed to mental health problems. The situation may be worse among female migrants in urban areas who migrate for work related reasons. Hence it is essential to give special attention to the mental health status of women migrants who live in urban areas. The present paper, based on primary data collected from women migrants in working women’s hostels of Mumbai, aims to understand the working and living conditions and its association with mental health status of the women migrants in Mumbai. The analysis indicates that the quality of life of women migrants has a significant effect on their mental health status. The factors such as age, occupation, push factors related to migration, quality of life and general health status of the migrant women can affect their mental health status. Thus, it is essential to ensure better working and living conditions and quality of life in order to improve the mental health status of women migrants. <#LINE#> @ @ Stillman S., McKenzie D. and Gibson J., Migration and mental health: Evidence from a natural experiment, Journal of Health Economics, 28(3), 677-687, (2009) @No $ @ @ Nitika.

It deprives the body of necessary nutrition’s and its over consumption over time leads to obesity, medical problems and behavioural problems. Some examples are skated snacked foods candy, gum, most sweet, deserts, fried fast food and carbonated beverages, the consumer student children, was primary consumers and purchases of junk food, many was so used to this type of food that if it was taken away from them. They brought their own from home or left during lunch period at open campus schools. Junk foods are altering the structure and function of the human brain while increasing and decreasing insulin levels so quickly that junk food leaves students groggy in class’s child’s brain continues to develop through until adulthood. That students eat effect the growth of critical areas of their brain when growth is disrupted It can cause negative behaviour reactions in the society, class room and family. The main objective of the paper to assess the role of regular and high intake of fast and junk food for developing cognitive and abnormal behaviour in teen girls. The validation cohort: total number of subject 50 teen girls selected for the purpose of study. The changing in behaviour, components among teens was observed 32% irritability; 26% anxiety; 22% uncooperativeness with family; mood depression 48%; loss of appetite 28%; 10% self-care; 26% unforgetfulness and overall impression 26%. The calculated value of chi-square it was found much more higher (8.0) as compared to table value(3.841) at one degree of freedom and five percent significant level that is null hypothesis rejected and alternate hypothesis accepted. (Regular intake of fast and junk food could develop cognitive and abnormal behaviour and also effect nutritional status). <#LINE#> @ @ http:// specrun.diabetesjournals.org/cgi/contents/full/15/2/83 (2013) @No $ @ @ http://hpq.saqepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/13/3/336(2013) @No $ @ @ http://www.scribd.com/doc/3634255/complete-book-of-buildpower full never force (2013) @No $ @ @ Pediatrics, 107(1) (2001) @No $ @ @ http://hpq.sagepub.com/content/co/issue(2014) @No $ @ @ Nestle Report, (2003) @No $ @ @ Wikipedia, Org 8.PFNDAI Bulletin, SEP, 7-13 (2011) @No $ @ @ Raju SM ; Nutrition and Biochemistry for Nurses, 3-15 (2010) @No $ @ @ @No @Research Article <#LINE#>Foreign Policy of India towards China: Principles and Perspectives<#LINE#>MehrajUddin@Gojree<#LINE#>50-58<#LINE#>8.ISCA-IRJSS-2014-138.pdf<#LINE#> Department of Political Science, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, U.P, INDIA<#LINE#>9/6/2014<#LINE#>13/8/2014<#LINE#> There has been sweeping shifts and realignments in the dominion of international politics since the end of Cold War. The global power architecture is increasingly defined by the re-emergence of China and India on the international scene, in roles that are commensurate with their size, their dynamism and potential. This paper seeks to analyze the changing dynamics of India’s foreign policy in the post-Cold War era especially in relation to China. The delimitation of the phase since the end of Cold War is important from the point of view that India drastically reoriented its China policy by adopting a more pragmatic foreign policy approach closely associated to the principles of Realism. The pace of strengthening the India's post-Cold War policy of cooperation towards China resulted in detente between China-India relations after 1996. However, this thaw in China-India relations was very short as both the states restarted their blame game after India detonated the two nuclear devices in May 1998 by citing China as a threat to her security. This hostile environment changed once again when the BJP led NDA government began making overtures towards China, and the two nations reached consensus on comprehensive bilateral cooperation in 2003 during Prime Minister Vajpayee's visit to China. Thereafter, the Congress led UPA government established a Strategic Partnership with China geared towards peace and prosperity, but at the same time promoted Nuclear Agreement and Joint Military exercises with the United States and further strengthened Strategic Cooperation with it.

The paper talks about the gender biasness that happens within the customary laws taking the example of Northeast tribal women in particular. At times it becomes difficult for women to exist in the same society as their male. The patriarchal set norms and the society inferring of women being inferior and subordinate to men, all socially and culturally discriminate women and thus structure their social world. In order to study the customary laws of the people their age-old customs and traditions have to be taken into considerations including women and men’s stereotype roles in the functioning of the customary laws. The roles that women play in the various socio-economic spheres and their contribution in the nation building are also to be taken into consideration. <#LINE#> @ @ Geetha V., Gender.

Consequently Pakistan’s growth rate is painfully slow. The sole purpose of this research article is nothing but to review government policies in the light of Pakistan’s economic conditions and social problems, and to make a comparative assessment with another Muslim country Malaysia, whose socio-economic conditions to a large extent are the same as that of Pakistan. <#LINE#> @ @ Hashmi Anwar, History of Indo-Pak (Urdu Language), Karachi Book Center, Karachi 491-492 (1995) @No $ @ @ Phulpoto Najam Noor, Article Poverty in Pakistan: A Sociological Analysis, Journal New Horizons # 1 Greenwich University, Karachi, Karachi, 34-35 (1997) @No $ @ @ Ahmed Ferooz, Imperialism and Pakistan: from 1947 to 2002, (Urdu Language), Takhliqat Publishers, Lahore, 174-175 (2003) @No $ @ @ Azam Choudhry, Pakistan Studies, Ghazanfar Academy, Karachi, 345-346 (2005) @No $ @ @ Economic Development in Pakistan Allama Iqbal Open University Press, Islamabad, 55-56 (1996) @No $ @ @ Rabbani Ikram, Pakistan Affairs, Carvan Enterprises, Lahore, 605-606 (2000) @No $ @ @ Zahid Muhammad Bilal, Effects of Exposure tomainstream Media in Changing Political Behaviour and Party Affiliation: A case study of university of Gujrat, Pakistan, International Research Journal of Social Sciences, 2(12), 29-34 (2013) @No $ @ @ Economic Development in Pakistan Allama Iqbal Open University Press, Islamabad, 60-61 (1996) @No $ @ @ Borkar Suneeta and Sameer Koranne, Conceptual Study of relationship between service quality and customer satisfaction, International Research Journal of Social Sciences, 3(2), 9-14 (2014) @No $ @ @ Ahmed Salahuddin, Foreign Policy of Pakistan,Arshi Publications, Karachi, 73-74 (1996) @No $ @ @ Abhijit Bora, Science Communication through Mass Media, Research Journal of Recent Sciences,1(1), 10-15 (2012) @No $ @ @ Rabbani Ikram, Pakistan Affairs, Carvan Enterprises, Lahore, 566-567 (2000) @No $ @ @ Pakistan: Investment Policies, Incentives and Facilities Board of Investment.
