It is a well-known fact that employees are main asset for an organization. One of the major challenges for an organization in these competitive business environments is to attract and retain skilled and talented workforce. The present study attempts to critically analyze the level of QWL of employees in auto component industries in India. The data was collected using a survey instrument and it was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The research revealed that educational qualification, designation and salary paid were not significantly associated with QWL. Further it was found that majority of employees were highly satisfied with the organizational culture and relationship and co-operation component.<#LINE#>Robbins S.P.

Results found significant differences on sex, age, country, and the interactions between sex and age, and age and country on the friendship quality. Girls were higher than boys, older children were higher than younger children, and Taiwanese children were higher than Vietnamese children. For the interaction, it was found older girls had better friendship quality than boys on the companionship and recreation and also intimate exchange. In addition, it was also found that for older children, Taiwanese children were higher than Vietnamese children on conflict and betrayal, validation and caring, and intimate exchange. Both younger and older Taiwanese children were higher than their counterparts of Vietnamese children on their scores of help and guidance. Finally, for companionship and recreation, Vietnamese younger children were higher than Taiwanese young children but the Vietnamese older children were lower than Taiwanese older children. Taken together, the differences on friendship quality in between of Taiwanese and Vietnamese children can be explained under a general trend in development as well as the cultural influences in their experience of friendship.<#LINE#>Bagwell C.L., Molina B.S., Pelham Jr, W.E. and Hoza B.

Unlike many studies in agroforestry adoption which primarily deals with farming technologies and socioeconomic analysis, this study was conducted to analyse the factors of adoption of agroforestry as a sustainable land use practice among upland farmers in exchange for an incentive by participating in the program using economic modelling. A total of 294 upland farmers were randomly chosen as respondents to participate in the survey using a contingent valuation method with WTA approach. As a result, 77.21% of the farmers were willing to accept the incentive in the said program to shift from their current land use practice to agroforestry. In addition, shifting cultivation, with off farm income, age, and bid amount appears to be significant factor in WTA. Thus, policy makers need to be sure that farmers are compensated very well for their service provided to downstream communities. Further, we conducted cost-benefit analysis to determine the economic cost of participating in the program using four base case scenario to model economic trade-offs among upland farmers. Since farming is the bread and butter of this upland communities policy makers need to consider the economic and socio cultural aspect of the community as well as its political involvement. Often, incentive programs from government are lesser compared to the income that farmers would receive from their farming activity. As such, determining the amount to be given is very important because this would add to the success of the program. While it is true that poverty in general and farmer′s income (in particular) is not adequate in explaining land use change, market incentives (e.g. compensation to shift to sustainable land use practice) would enable payment for ecosystem services (PES) scheme to be successful. Unlike other agroforestry studies, we argue that the land use practice (e.g. shifting cultivation) should be considered in policy making for incentivizing farmers because aside from income, traditionally and culturally, in Philippines and other developing countries shifting cultivation has been the practice. As such, shifting cultivators needs to have alternative sustainable land use technology (e.g. agroforestry) with proper financing mechanism to properly implement and sustain the program.<#LINE#>Fortenbacher D. and Alave K.

This qualitative case study reports on the experience of eight male university students involved in MSM activity. Data obtained through focus group discussion helped understand the feelings, views, and factors that contributed to the involvement in MSM of the university students. Results revealed that curiosity, alcohol drinking, material rewards and sexual satisfaction were the reasons for engaging in MSM activity. This study provides some inputs that maybe useful in planning and implementing programs that can provide opportunity for the students to know where to seek guidance regarding this sensitive issue, thereby, encouraging them towards observing a more positive sexual health.<#LINE#>Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (2009).@UNAIDS Action framework: Universal access for men who have sex with men and transgender people.@2009. 09.22E – JC1720E http://data.unaids.org/pub/report/2009/ jc1720_action _framework_msm_en.pdf. 20/August/2017@Yes$Hernandez L.I. and Imperial R.H.

Deforestation has great impact on the developing countries as tropical forest is being converted into other land use types. Biodiversity, fauna and flora are being destroyed and the natural environment is degraded resulting to severe impact and contributing immensely to climate change. Deforestation promotes the release of carbon stored in plants and soils and significantly alters the energy budget of the earth system. The normal weather pattern is mostly disrupted leading to hotter and drier weather thereby increasing drought occurrence and desertification. African countries are noted as the most vulnerable region of the world were deforestation has impacted negatively on their environment and Nigeria has the highest record of annual net loss of its forest. This paper ex-ray the implications of deforestation on climate change in Nigeria. The review is based on content analysis exploring evidence from secondary data and field survey. Types and functions of forest as well as causes of deforestation have been extensively discussed. Approaches for combating deforestation in Nigeria have been identified. There include environmental education and enlightenment, increase of protected areas, agroforestry programmes, reforestation and afforestation initiative among others.<#LINE#>Sheram K.

Political Violence can be a one-sided affair which involves only the state repression on the disgruntled and enemy groups in the society. However, the recent trend has been the two-sided violence, where the state sponsors the violence on the one hand whereas on the other hand the armed groups or the non-state actors can also be seen confronting the state and its institutions on the ground. Such a confrontational violence has been termed as the civil-war. The origins of the political violence in the Indian union can be traced back to the mid 1960′s when the popular armed uprisings started in the state of west Bengal by the dissatisfied rural poor, influenced by the moist doctrines. In the same period there was another armed uprising against in Jammu and Kashmir. The late 1970′s saw the movement for the independent Khalistan by the Sikh groups in the Indian held Punjab. These movements not only undermined the state sovereignty but also led to the institutional breakdown of civil society.<#LINE#>Besley T. and Persson T.
