Many of the adolescents have disinterest in Math. It may be because of fear of Math, disinterest in subject or the way in which the particular subject is being taught. Many of the parents are very rigid about math based courses. They want that their wards should pursue Math based courses with - out thinking about their anxiety regarding math and also their ability to think logically. Math solutions require lot of Logical Thinking. Hence it is very important to find out whether Mathematical Anxiety really hampers their Logical Thinking. That is why the researcher felt the need to take up this study. The main objectives are to find out the level of Mathematical Anxiety and the level of Logical Thinking among adolescents and to compare them on the basis of sex and area. To identify whether adolescents with high and low Mathematical Anxiety differ on Logical Thinking and to study relationship between Mathematical Anxiety and Logical Thinking among adolescents from Schools of only four districts of Vidarbha region of Maharashtra namely Nagpur, Wardha, Chandrapur, Gadchiroli. Only 600 students from class X have been studied. The main findings of the study are boys and girls do not differ significantly regarding Mathematical Anxiety but urban and rural Adolescents differ significantly regarding Mathematical Anxiety. There is no significant difference regarding Logical thinking on sex basis. Even urban and rural adolescents do not differ significantly regarding Logical Thinking. Adolescents with high and low Mathematical Anxiety significantly differ on Logical Thinking except for rural adolescents who do not differ significantly. There is significant inverse relationship between Mathematical Anxiety and Logical Thinking of adolescents but boys do not have significant relationship.

 Abstract

A healthy inter-personal relation is the need of the hour today. Our life is surrounded with people, process, technology and systems and within this context, how we manage ourselves and how we can manage others to fulfill our goals is a major challenge a person faces. Managing ourselves is easy as compared to managing others. In managing others we carry the element of risk and uncertainty. As we want to influence others about our opinions, others are also careful that their ego is not hurt while they are being influenced. The paper examines how interactions between two persons might lead to dysfunctional relations and what role a person has to play during the interaction process for a healthy and effective interpersonal relationship. This paper is based on real time interaction during the regular class. This is an experience of one of the authors and then the experience has been conceptualized collectively by all the authors. Hence the paper is presented in the same as it was experienced.

 Abstract

The economic value generated by the business operations, is to be strategically distributed to all the stakeholders. Again, these values simultaneously contribute to the sustainability and competitiveness of business organizations. This has been identified as �shared value� (Porter and Kramer, 2006). Since, the concept has been initiated recently, little progress of scholarly studies can be found on the developing nation. Therefore, in the present study an empirical attempt has been made on the findings of the relationship between the farms� competitiveness and the value distributed. The sample consists of some selected Asian companies. Data are collected from the published reports during the period 2010 to 2012. Descriptive statistical tools and regression model has been used in this study. The result shows that the companies with higher level of social performance and value distribution for the stakeholders have better financial performance than the companies with lower social performance and lower level of value distribution for the stakeholders. It also shows that the value distribution is associated with both the market value social performance. It also indicates that the better socially performing firms with higher level of value distribution for the stakeholders have comparatively high market value than the lower value distributing firms with lower social performance.

 Abstract

Video games have become one of the favorite activities of children in America. Growing bodies of research links violent video game play to aggressive cognitions, attitudes, and behaviors. This study tested the predictions that exposure to violent video game content is (1) positively correlated with hostile attribution bias, (2) positively correlated with arguments with teachers and physical fights, and negatively correlated with school performance, and (3) positively correlated with hostility. 607 8th and 9th-grade students from four schools participated. Each prediction was supported. Youth who expose themselves to greater amounts of video game violence see the world as a more hostile place, are more hostile themselves, get into arguments with teachers more frequently, are more likely to be involved in physical fights, and perform more poorly in school. Video game violence exposure is a significant predictor of physical fights even when respondent sex, hostility level, and weekly amount of game play are statistically controlled. It is suggested that video game violence is a risk factor for aggressive behavior. The results also suggest that parental involvement in video game play may act as a protective factor for youth. Results are interpreted within and support the framework of the General Aggression Model.

 Abstract

The National Achievement Survey (2017) reported gradual deterioration in performance in mathematics with increasing order of grades across the nation. It is also evident that most of the students loosen their interest in mathematics up to secondary level (NCF, 2005). Curriculum and pedagogy contribute a lot to develop positive or negative attitude towards the subject. Generally, teachers adopt such teaching approaches, strategies and methods in mathematics classroom which focus on procedural knowledge rather than conceptual clarity. Many students struggle with subject and become disaffected as they continually face the obstacle in engagement due to pedagogical practices. NEP (2020) proposed revamping in curriculum and pedagogy and recommend the paradigm shift from content based to experience based learning. This article highlighted paradigm shift in pedagogy to engage the learner and make learning joyful.

 Abstract

Arguably, one of the best short storytellers of the twentieth century, and one of the most controversial as well, Saadat Hasan Manto, brilliantly chronicles the collective madness that prevailed, during and after the Partition of India in 1947. As a renowned Urdu short story writer, Manto has poignantly disrobed the human behavior in connection with intimidating issues like sex, violence, body politics, etc. in stark detail. Stories such as �Khol Do� (1948), �Toba Tek Singh� (1955), and �The Dog of Tithwal� (1987) map the shaking saga of the wrath of Partition towards the common people. This paper aims at locating the trauma and atrocity in the psyche of the victims and offers deep insights into the tragic and unsavory realities of life that are engendered and endangered by Partition.
