JOB SATISFACTION OF IN-SERVICE TEACHER TRAINEES: A STUDY

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2012 | Volume/Issue:1/2 | Page No.: 1 - 5

Download Article
Job satisfaction has been the most frequently investigated variable in organizational behavior (Spector, 1997). Job satisfaction varies and researchers, for example Peretomode (1991) and Whawo (1993), have suggested that the higher the prestige of the job, the greater the job satisfaction. Many workers, however, are satisfied in even the least prestigious jobs. That is, they simply like what they do. In any case, job satisfaction is as individual as one’s feelings or state of mind.
Job satisfaction can be influenced by a variety of factors, for example, the quality of one’s relationship with their supervisor, the quality of the physical environment in which they work, the degree of fulfillment in their work, etc. However, there is no strong acceptance among researchers, consultants, etc., that increased job satisfaction produces improved job performance. In fact, improved job satisfaction can sometimes decrease job performance (McNamara, [n.d]; War, 1998).

Approximately three thousand years ago alphabets came into use after many years of search and experiments. By contrast, a tactile version of the alphabet which could be read by blind people was not invented until just over around two hundred years ago and a means of writing was not evolved until 1821 (Irwin, 1970). Among many scripts Braille is the most accepted scripts but unfortunately reading rate of this script is slowing down. The present paper was an attempt to find out the problem areas and to develop a program for improving reading speed of Braille.
Key Words: Braille, reading behavior, tactile script, teaching-learning Braille, proper Braille reading.

The declarations of the 1990 Jomtien World Conference on Education and the 2000 Dakar World Education Forum both emphasized that to achieve Education for All (EFA) by 2015 , in addition to increased access to education, all countries would require to improve the quality and equity of education so that recognized and measurable learning outcomes are achieved by all. Ministries of education worldwide fully agree with this interpretation of the EFA mission, Kenya included. However, many educational planners in developing countries have raised two related questions: firstly, when resources are scarce, can greater improvements in the performance of a population of students be made by focusing these resources on a limited section of the population? Secondly, would it be better to spread these resources thinly across the whole student population? The issues leave planners in a dilemma, and suggest that there might be an inherent trade-off situation that operates in education systems between the average level of student learning outcomes and their equitable distribution.

The 21st century is touted to be the Asian age, belonging to China and India. India was viewed predominantly as a poor developing country and had a low visibility on the global political and especially global economic front. But, change is natural. Change is inevitable. However, since the last decade India appears to be writing a dynamic new future for itself. Since the economic liberalization of the 1990s, which lead to growth rates of 6-7 percent p.a., India\'s global presence has been steadily visible. Two issues are shaping India’s rise – the political dividend it has garnered as the world’s largest democracy and its growing economic status, which, according to projections, will cause it to emerge, along with China, as a key economic driver of the future. This paper focusses on strategy or the political and economic values the new evolving India endorses in the context of global governance. This paper highlights promotion of SME sector as the solution to the change in the socio-economic changes that a nation goes through.

FAMILY COUNSELING AS A HELPING RELATIONSHIP

As people become increasingly enmeshed in the lifestyle accruing from the scientific age, the psychological consequences and behaviour become more complex. As people begin to realize the potential for a fuller life that modern technology can provide, they also become aware of the inadequacies of many existing institutions and practices, beliefs and codes of conduct accepted by themselves and their forefathers at an earlier age. As a consequence, while more people hope for a better life, there is simultaneously a feeling of frustration and anxiety that they themselves may not be able to experience this better life which they feel should be available to them. They search for new anchors, new guidelines for plans of action that hold promise for realizing some of their dreams and aspirations.
Key words: Family Counseling, Helping Relationship

DETERMINATION OF INTEREST RATE ARBITRAGE ACROSS MARKETS IN INDIA

 One of the most widely traded derivative contracts by market players are ‘Futures Contracts’. Futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell an asset at a certain time in the future for a certain price. If the actual price of the underlying and the Futures contract are known, one can easily derive the implied interest rate present in those markets for the given maturity of the Futures contract. If the implied interest rate in futures market differs from the interest rate in the debt (money) market for same tenure, capital will flow via arbitrageurs from low interest rate market to high interest market till interest rates (cost of capital) across both the markets are uniform. This nullifies the arbitrage opportunity.
With the backdrop of the theory of free market, this study makes an attempt to compare implied interest rates in Equity Index Futures market and the interest rates in money (debt) market (of same tenure) in India. In India, arbitrageurs are not able to arbitrage the difference between Futures and Spot price (i.e. basis) as well as between implied interest rates and money market rates in a certain band partly due to [i] absence of securities lending and borrowing mechanism of underlying defined for derivatives, market participants are not be able to move capital from equity futures market to money market with ease; [ii] State owned financial intermediaries and public sector banks, who are major players in debt market, have not begun to use derivatives for risk hedging or for position taking in a way such investors should be; [iii] Due to trading restrictions, some participants in the derivatives market are not able to participate directly in the money markets. Major market participants like banks can use derivatives only for hedging and not speculative purposes. Hence, the cost of capital to do arbitrage is more in India.
Key Words : Determination,Interest rate, Arbitrage across markets.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the present status of innovative pedagogy applied in government and private preschools situated in National Capital and Haryana Region in India. The study was conducted in 48 preschools situated in Delhi and Haryana region as part of National Capital Region. Results provided evidence that in almost all the preschools the practiced pedagogy was based on play but the quantity of preschools where application of innovative pedagogies was performed remained very low .In this regard, the condition of preschools managed by private bodies was found little better as compared to government run preschools. Most of the preschools lacked in modern audio-visual equipments, Information Communication Technology (ICT) and application of varied forms of innovative pedagogies which drew inference that preschool education in India, has not been given the level of significance, as has been given by European counterparts. Absence of implementation of norms regarding preschools’ conditions and curriculum on part of concerned government ministry may be cited as major reason.

 Sustainable tourism is a kind of approach to tourism meant to make the development of tourism ecologically supportable in the long term. It calls for the conservation and enhancement of resources and increase the value of local culture and tradition. Herbal tourism has remarkable potential for employment generation, conservation of forest resources and preservation of traditional medicine practices. TM is becoming increasingly popular in many developed countries and functions under the title of “complementary” or “alternative” medicine. This has resulted in an upsurge in the demand for medicinal plants worldwide.
This paper explores the ways in which herbal tourism can be promoted in a sustainable manner so that preservation of indigenous knowledge and community development may be brought about. For this purpose, a SWOT analysis of herbal tourism is carried out using primary and secondary data collected from various sources such as the tourists, department of tourism, forest officials, Ayurvedic Medicine manufacturers, cultivators of medicinal plants, Tribal Service Co-operative Societies, etc. Kerala is chosen as the sample space as it is one of India\'s largest producers of traditional medicines. The state is endowed with a variety of medicinal plants and Southern stretch of Western Ghats is considered as one of the richest pockets of bio-diversity in the world and classified as a ‘Hot spot’ by International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

Music is more pervasive now than at any other point in history, functioning not only as a pleasurable art form, but also serving many important psychological functions (MacDonald, Hargreaves and Miell, 2002). In Indian culture, music has always held a special place, whereby music has been regarded as a path to achieve salvation. With time, several things have changed and so has the importance of music also. However, learning music is still regarded not just a hobby but a discipline inducing activity. This study attempted to ascertain whether learning music does has any impact on the study habits of adolescents in this academic driven society. The sample of 80 was drawn from the school going adolescents from Delhi. The results failed to establish any significant correlation between learning music and study habits.

Without any question, it can be said that since the 1960’s the principle of normalization have had a profound influence on the development of services for persons with disabilities. Actually, at first ‘Normalization’ was defined by letting it only for persons with mental retardation but further it is extended to all persons with disabilities. We can see the clear distinction between the definitions of ‘normalization’ given by Nirje and by Wolfensberger. As distinguished from Nirje’s definition which emphasizes both ‘means’ and ‘goals’. In Wolfensbergers reformulation the goal of normalization are twofold. Normalization was first formulated in 1969 by Benjt Nirje having the ideas of normal rhythm of life. After the formulation of ‘normalization’ various books, articles and other publications and the topic have been written and disseminated. Of course various authors interpreted it in various ways often, made wrong interpretations. Social Role valorization ( SRV) is the name given to a concept for transacting human relationships and human service formulated in 1983 by Wolf - Wofensbeeger as the successor to his earlier formulation of the principle of normalization.”
Key Words: Social Role, Valorization, Disability.

Download Article
Absentee characters have played a vital role in all forms of writing, ever since the origin of Greek Literature. There are several plays written by several playwrights focusing absentee characters. Absentee characters have been successfully infused in many plays, playing major as well as minor roles. There are several forms of absentee characters. Usually he/she is alive, but he/she can be dead as well. For this paper, dead characters are taken into consideration as absentee characters.An absentee character is a character that does not appear in the playbut is relevant to the plot of the play. Absentee characters are a part of the play’s story but do not makeany physical appearance in the plot of the play.
Absentee Characters have had their origin in Greek Drama. In the plays of Sophocles, inOedipus Rex, Laius, the old king of Thebes is an early example of absentee character and in Antigone, Polynicesthe elder son of Oedipus is an absentee character. After Greek Literature, there turn about to be a gap of many centuries in use of Absentee Characters in the plays till Modern Drama.

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is an infrastructure-less , dynamic network consisting of a
collection of wireless mobile nodes that communicate with each other without the use of any
centralized authority. Due to its fundamental characteristics, such as wireless medium, dynamic
topology, distributed cooperation, MANETs is vulnerable to various kinds of security attacks like
worm hole, black hole, rushing attack etc. In this paper we study mobile ad-hoc network and its
characteristics, challenges, application, security goals and different type’s security attacks at
different layers.

 One must have heard childhood anecdote that there was a magician who could bring any thing in the
world to a piece of mirror he held in this hand: this story has now become a true fact in the form of INTERNET.
Such “Allauddin Chirag” for 21st century and future is appurtenant to Agricultural Green Revaluation.
According to Dr. MS Swaminathan, “New information and communication technologies offer the possibility
of creating a level field for both the rich and the poor, provided we know how to use them with a commitment
to gender and social equity”. Effective use of Internet for extension in agriculture is elusive despite substantial
investments in human capital and other resources. Updated and comprehensive information, availability of
new types “Just in time”, more and competing information sources; “One stop information
shopping”; ease of exchange of information and/or ideas and facilities to discuss them; easier
collaboration and/or access to peers, other experimental farmers and experts; a ranked list of useful
information such as updated market lists, weather information, plant protection regulations,
recommendations and products, news, bulletins, and more are perquisite. Internet accessibility on individual
farms or at farmer-gathering locations, input information that farmers/extension want, and/or needs, identifying
a tangible benefit to information users, defining and serving target audiences, packaging information in a way
that it can be understood and applied, a simple, user-friendly search engine and interface design, responsibility
for the information quality and reliability are guiding factor for web based extension development. There is a
felt need of a practical baseline reference for Internet adoption in planning, program implementation, goal
achievement and evaluation.

RESISTANCE OF MAHARANA PRATAP AGAINST AKBAR

Khalid Bashir

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2012 | Volume/Issue:1/2 | Page No.: 364 - 377

Download Article
This paper will highlight the struggle and the defeat of Rana Pratap by theAkbar. When Rana Pratap took over as the Maharana (King) of Mewar, the political scene in India was not stable. Mughal emperor Akbar was in control of Chittor, the ancient capital of Mewar but he wanted to occupy whole of Mewar. His dream of whole of the India under the Mughal dynasty required Mewar to be under him. On the other hand Pratap, as a matter of self respect, wished Chittor to be his capital of ancestors. By 1573 Akbar realised that Pratap would never accept his supremacy over Mewar. The emperor Akbar was therefore keen to strike a peace deal with Pratap singh and historians believe that Akbar sent six delegations for the same. The first three missions were led by Jalal Khan Qurchi, the fourth by Raja Man Singh, the fifth by Raja Bhagwan Das, and the sixth by Raja Todar Mal. The fifth mission of Bhagwan Das was first fruitful in that the Rana Pratap agreed to put on a robe presented by Akbar and he sent his son Amar Singh to the Mughal court, but later on Maharana Pratap rejected all the missions, the principal reason of rejection was that, the Maharana was not prepared to compromise the independence, integrity and sovereignty of Mewar. It is also said that the Mewar Rajputs castigated Man Singh of Amber, who himself was a Rajput general, for being a member of Mughal army, who headed the fourth delegation that the emperor sent to Mewar. All his efforts for a peaceful solution were unfruitful; Akbar decided that he would not be able to waver Pratap from his resolve. Then he contemplated taking on the enemy through an armed conflict.

This paper provides implementation of “Automatic Plant Irrigation System using micro controller”. We have implemented sensors that detect the humidity in the soil (agricultural field) and supply water to the field, which has water requirement. The micro controller based design that controls the water supply and the field to be irrigated. There are sensors present in each field that are not activated till water is present on the field. Once the field gets dry sensors sense the requirement of water in the field and send a signal to the micro controller. Micro controller and associated circuitry then supply water to that particular field which has water requirement till the sensors are deactivated again. In case, when there are more than one signal for water requirement then the micro controller will prioritize the first received signal and irrigate the fields accordingly.

The term coordination chemistry is interpreted broadly, and includes aspects of organometallic, supramolecular, theoretical, and bioinorganic chemistry. Coordination chemistry is a branch of chemistry, and its research results are widely used in industry and people's life. Coordination compounds are molecules that pose one or multiple metal centers that are bound to ligands (atoms, ions, or molecules that donate electrons to the metal). These complexes can be neutral or charged. When the complex is charged, it is stabilized by neighboring counter-ions. Various edge disciplines emerge during its development, which propels the methods of disciplines and technology.

In any civilised society education plays a pivotal role. The growth of the country is measures by the amount of knowledge its citizen have,. It is not wrong to say that education is the backbone of any country. From time immemorial paramount importance is given to education in India. Indian education system is based on Guru- Shishya primipara. A teacher is not someone who only gives knowledge of text to the student but also teaches lessons of life. Post-independence in the Constitution it is enshrined that the state is duty bound to provide means of education. The judiciary of the country very clearly stated that right to education flows from right to life under article 21.Our education system is based on face to face interaction inside the four walls of classroom. But with the advent of the pandemic, COVID 19 the entire education system is changed. Online learning is the new norm of present era. Now teaching learning is beyond boundaries now the education is not just confined to classroom. Instead, it is available virtually with the help of information and technology tools. This virtual mode of education has positive and negative impact . Judiciary is trying hard to create a balance in order to ensure education to every student and at the same time judiciary is concerned about the economic rights of the teachers.

Love, nature, history, religion, and death are some of the most common poetry themes in nearly every type of poetry. Love is possibly the most popular of all poetry themes. Nearly every poet endeavors to write about love in his poetry. Love is one of the most universal themes in literature, as in life. Love can be a force for good that inspires people to sacrifice themselves for others, or a toxic force that drives people to madness or violence. The present research paper deals with True Love Versus Betrayal in the Selected Poems of Shiv K Kumar. I have tried to study the different shades of love in the selected poems of Shiv K Kumar.

This paper presents the nature of interaction between component molecules in the binary liquid mixtures and enables us to identify a suitable mathematical model for predicting the refractive index of various binary liquid mixtures. A comparative study of refractive index of binary liquid mixtures such as 1,4-dioxane - water, Glycerol - Water and Glycerol - Methanol having industrial applications are analyzed at temperature 304K for different concentrations [20,40,60,80 &100%]. In the present study Refractive Index values were determined by experiments and theoretical values obtained by various mathematical models such as Lorentz – Lorenz relation, Gladstone- Dale equation, Weiner’s relation, Heller’s (H) equation, Arago-Biot equation were compared. The experimental data were utilized to test the capability prediction of Lorentz-lorenz, Weiner, Heller, Gladstone-Dale, Arago-Biot models. Result analysis revealed that the Arago-Biot and Gladstone-Dale model is best suitable for calculating the refractive index in the binary liquid systems of 1,4 dioxane - water whereas Lorentz-lorenz model is the best suitable method for calculating the refractive index of Glycerol- Water and  Glycerol-Methanol binary liquid systems
