<#LINE#>Religious Syncretism among the Meiteis of Manipur, India<#LINE#>NaoremNaokhomba@Singh<#LINE#>21-26<#LINE#>4.ISCA-IRJSS-2015-151.pdf<#LINE#>Department of Anthropology, North Eastern Hill University Shillong-793022, Meghalaya, INDIA <#LINE#>11/6/2015<#LINE#>15/7/2015<#LINE#>  In this digital age today we see our world as a global village. Indeed, the world has become a global village with the advancement of transport and communication, science and technology and in many other domains as well. In this present era of interculturalism and transculturation syncretism is a prevailing event. Religious syncretism is one of the most interesting events in a country like India where various different ethnic groups with their own culture, tradition, religion, language and different origin live together as a nation of ‘unity with diversity’. The present study deals with religious syncretism among the Meitei peoples of Manipur, a north-eastern state of Indian union. The state is the meeting point between the east and west, i.e. south-east Asia and south Asia in terms of culture. Anthropological field work has been conducted to collect primary data for this study using interview (structured and non-structured), observation, case study methods etc. From this study it was ascertained that religious syncretism of traditional primordial religion and Hinduism among these people gave rise to a new and unique essence to their culture. Present day Hinduism of this population exhibits aesthetic cultural products of religious syncretism. <#LINE#> @ @ It is a term coined by Cuban Anthropologist Fernando Ortiz in 1947 to describe the phenomenon of merging and converging cultures @No $ @ @ Bowie F., The Anthropology of Religion.

<#LINE#>Womens Satisfaction from Services at a Delivery Hut: A Critique<#LINE#>Sunaina@Batra,Sarita@Anand<#LINE#>27-31<#LINE#>5.ISCA-IRJSS-2015-152.pdf<#LINE#> Dept of Development Communication and Extension, Lady Irwin College-Delhi University INDIA<#LINE#>11/6/2015<#LINE#>22/7/2015<#LINE#>  Research evidence demonstrates the women’s satisfaction strongly influences her choice of place for delivery. It is with this background that the present study was carried out to understand the components of satisfaction and their association with women’s intention regarding the place of delivery. The aim of the study was to look at the three components of satisfaction, i.e. communication satisfaction, service satisfaction and experiential satisfaction against the backdrop of an innovative scheme of “Delivery Huts” that aimed to promote institutional delivery by addressing these components of satisfaction. Hence, the study assessed the efficacy of Delivery Huts as a model to promote safe motherhood. The research was carried out in the villages of Haryana and perceptions pertaining to satisfaction of 120 women in the age –group of 18-40 years were obtained using a pre-tested and validated satisfaction scale. The study found a significant correlation existed between the three components of satisfaction and the overall satisfaction. This highlights that overall satisfaction of an expectant mother was dependent on how she was treated at an interpersonal level, what kind of services were being provided at the Delivery Hut and finally how satisfying an experience at the Delivery Hut was. <#LINE#> @ @ WHO.

The study pursued the following hypotheses: there is no significant relationship between faculty-related factors and their mean self-evaluation in the implementation of the new curriculum; there is no significant relationship between student’s age and their performance in different tracks; there is no significant difference between the mean performance in the different tracts of male and female respondents; there is no significant difference between faculty members self-evaluation and students’ evaluation in the implementation of the new curriculum; there is no significant difference among the mean performance of faculty in four campuses in terms of instructional supervision, curriculum implementation and adequacy of facilities and there is no significant difference among the mean performance of students in four campuses in terms of business communication, service culture, business process outsourcing 1 &2 and principles of systems thinking. The study utilized the descriptive correlational research design and the respondents are the faculty members who attended the Commission on Higher Education-Business Processing Association of the Philippines (CHED-BPAP) and students who took up the IT-BPO curriculum at LSPU System. Findings revealed that the age of the faculty has significant relationship in their self-evaluation in the implementation of the new curriculum. Meanwhile, there is no significant difference between the performance of the male and female respondents in the different tracks. More so, Teacher respondents and student respondents mean self- evaluation are not significantly different. Apparently, the teacher-respondents’ mean self-evaluation in the implementation of the new curriculum in the four campuses of LSPU differs significantly at 0.5 level of significance. Faculty/trainers need to apply innovative teaching strategies and methodologies in teaching the different tracks specially business communication. <#LINE#> @ @ Bilbao P.P., et.al, Curriculum Development, Lorimar Publishing, Inc, (2014) @No $ @ @ http://www.cla.calpolov.edyc~cslem/101/1-D.html, (2006) @No $ @ @ Tullao, Jr. Tereso S.

People always migrate to areas of greener pastures. When members of a family migrate to a distant land, the migration creates a vacuum among the family members of the sending society. In AVC (Goa) large numbers of Roman Catholics have migrated abroad, the migrated are mainly adults leaving behind their elderly parents. The paper attempts to shed light on the implications of such large scale international migration on the elderly left behind. The paper focuses on the implications on the dimensions of social support, economic support and the overall wellbeing of the elderly. Taking case histories and administering questionnaires among the elderly left behind the study proposes that International migration of the young adults may have a positive outcome, where economic support is concern. Whereas, the left behind elderly may not face social isolation if there is considerable support from the community, friends and relatives in the absence of their adult children. Thus, the paper presents that international migration of the adult children can have a positive outcome for the elderly left behind especially where quality of life is concerned. <#LINE#> @ @ M.N.

<#LINE#>Hazardous Health Behavior of Female Sex Workers: A Case Study of Silchar Town<#LINE#>Sita@Malakar<#LINE#>55-59<#LINE#>10.ISCA-IRJSS-2015-144.pdf<#LINE#> Department of Sociology, Assam University, Silchar, Cachar, Assam, INDIA <#LINE#>4/6/2015<#LINE#>29/7/2015<#LINE#>  Health is vital aspect of one’s life. An individual is said to be healthy if he is physically, mentally and spiritually sound enough. But good health is still a dream for many people particularly for those who are having poor socio-economic condition. To attain better health they not only fight with diseases but also fight with their poverty. Their poverty, illiteracy and social vulnerability make them susceptible to many deadly diseases. AIDS/HIV is one of such deadly diseases which take thousands of lives not only in India but also throughout the globe. Sex workers are one of the vulnerable groups for occurrence of HIV/AIDS. Sex workers easily get infected with STI/HIV because of their occupation and hazardous work environment. STI and HIV/AIDS consciousness among female sex workers plays a vital role to save their lives from such a deadly disease. This paper highlights the hazardous health behaviors of female sex workers of Silchar town which is located in the remotest corner of India’s North-East. <#LINE#> @ @ NACO (National AIDS Control Organization) (1999a) Report from Workshop on Targeted Interventions, NewDelhi, NACO, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare,August (1999) @No $ @ @ NACO (National AIDS Control Organization) October, (2007 Targeted interventions Under NACP III, Operational Guidelines, Volume - I (Core High Risk group).
