 Abstract

The researchers conducted a cross sectional online survey method to assess the knowledge, attitude and utilization of the emergency contraception among married women of reproductive age group.. The study was conducted among 173 purposefully selected women in Varanasi India on the levels of knowledge attitude and practice on emergency contraceptive pill. An online questionnaire was prepared using Google forms where the tool was incorporated. An online consent form was also included in the survey and the survey was restricted in such a way that the tool will open only on accepting the consent form. A validated and translated tool in Hindi was used in the online form. The link of the online form was sent to all the possible samples through social media platform like Whatsapp and Facebook. The form was open for over a week to collect the data. After organizing and analyzing the data the study shows that 77.45% had moderately adequate knowledge, 63% of the samples had neutral attitude and 54.33% were using emergency contraceptive pill. The researchers evaluated the association between the knowledge and attitude on emergency contraception. The values shoed that there is significant association at p<0.01. The study concludes that though the use of emergency contraception has been a very popular in this 21st century, yet the knowledge about it is very minimal and the talk about the use of emergency contraception is still considered to be a taboo maybe because of the reported long term use side effects

 Abstract

Mems concept is a mental model analogous to the evolutionary theory of Charles Darwin. It is analogous to the genes in biology. Mems model tries to explain behaviour and mental processes supported by the evolutionary metaphor of variation, selection and adaptation. This article explores the nature, characteristics, brain mechanisms and transmission of Mems. Further, the theoretical assumptions of Darwinism are also examined. The relationship between creativity and the Mems model is critically examined. The issues of falsifiability and empiricism are brought into the picture to examine the robustness of the mems concept. The article concludes by suggesting the need for further studies and empirical proofs.

Changes may be small or big, whatever they are change process needs to be managed. Organizations are interested to have successful changes and effective leadership plays an important role in organizational change success Effective leadership is always required to bring effective changes. Leaders have an important role during change management. Employees have positive attitudes and behavior to organizational change, when they see that leaders believe in proposed change and they work hard to make change process successful during organizational change, leaders have to create an environment where employees feel to be protected from change and they feel that leadership will support them during difficulties. Employees needs that their leaders to create connections and commitment during change. In this paper, we will analyze the role of leaders in change process. Also, we will describe what a visionary leader is. During change process there are different phases (Kotter, 1996). This paper will analyze what a leader can do in each phase. Also, we will distinguish the differences among managers, change agent and leaders.

 Abstract

The state government has provided educational facilities to the Scheduled Castes and Neo-Buddhists; the level of education among them is increasing. The current policy of liberalization has reduced the availability of jobs. Therefore, the proportion of educated unemployed found among the general population is higher among the Scheduled Castes and the neo-Buddhists. The Scheduled Castes and the neo-Buddhist families who have land to do so have been provided with a means of income. However, landless agricultural families below the poverty line have no other means of subsistence and have to resort to employment guarantee schemes or hire private individuals. As a result, their livelihood is adversely affected. To increase their sources of income and change their living standards, they need to reduce their dependence on wages and provide them with a permanent source of income. For this, the Karmaveer Dadasaheb Gaikwad Empowerment and Swamibhan scheme has been started in 2004 to provide land to the Scheduled Castes and Neo-Buddhist landless agricultural laborers below the poverty line through the Department of Social Justice and Special Assistance. This scheme is an ambitious scheme prepared by the government for the Scheduled Castes and Neo-Buddhist landless agricultural laborers. This paper reviews the Karmaveer Dadasaheb Gaikwad Empowerment and Swabhiman scheme implemented in the Aurangabad district.

 Abstract

Reliability analysis of mining equipment has become essential for mining organizations for enhancing the availability of the machine and for achieving the established production targets. A large variety of equipments are involved in open cast mining viz., bulldozer, shovels, dumpers (tippers), draglines etc. Any breakdown in these equipments may result in unavailability of machine and loss of production. In order to avoid such instances, analyzing and enhancing the reliability of these equipment is necessary. Also, before conducting any reliability analysis, it is important to know and detect the trend in failure data of a system, which gives an idea for further analysis of the data. In this paper, statistical tests are used to detect the trends in the failure events of dumpers and also the underlying hypothesis have been tested using the same. For this, Laplace test and Crow/AMSAA was adopted to detect the possible trend in the failure data of dumpers used in open cast mining and conclusions were made based on the hypothesis obtained.

 Abstract

Abstract Freshwater and the surface of soil provide the sites for aerobic phototrophic nitrogen (N2) fixation by free-living cyanobacteria and the Azolla-Anabaena symbiotic N2-fixing complex. Free-living cyanobacteria, the majority of which are heterocystous and nitrogen fixing, contribute an average of 20-30 kg N2, ha-1, whereas the value is up to 600 kg ha-1 for the Azolla-Anabaena system (the most beneficial cyanobacterial symbiosis from an agronomic point of view). Synthesis and excretion of organic/growth-promoting substances by the cyanobacteria are also on record. Recent results indicate a strong potential for cyanobacterial biofertilizer technology in rice-growing countries, which opens up a vast area of more concerted basic, applied, and extension work in the future to make these self-renewable natural nitrogen resources even more promising at the field level in order to help reduce the requirement for inorganic N2 to the bare minimum, if not to zero.

 Abstract

Present study is an attempt to investigate frustration, creativity and school performance of adventitiously visually impaired. As perusal of researches conducted in the area of Visual impairment reveals that some attempts have been made to understand visually impaired its characteristics and their performance in different fields including academic achievement. But these studies are including academic achievement are inconclusion. it may be because the investigators have combined both types of blinds in the sample of their research. However, some attempts have been made to study them according to the type of Visual impairment. But no attempt seems to have been made to compare congenital and adventitious blind on psychological factors frustration and creativity and school performance in subject after eliminating the effect of socioeconomic status and intelligent therefore it was felt to study this population keeping in mind the age of onset of blindness. 123 visually impaired students belonging to three institutions were selected for the sample of study. Frustration test by N.S.Chauhan and Govind Tiwari was used. Creativity test by Bakar mehndi, Socio-economic status scale by R.L.Bhardwaj and N.S Chauhan was used for intelligence test P.N. Mehrotra test was used.The data was collected through interview technique since the measuring instruments were not available in braille script. It was concluded that acquired visual loss is found more in lower socio-economic status.Adventitiously visually impaired differ significantly on the relationship between creativity and performance in school subjects.
