Abstract: Population is the soul of a region. Its characteristics are the base for the existence and development of the region. The population studies is a broad social science discipline concerned with the study of human populations in relation to their size, composition, the changes occurring over time and the factors associated with these changes. The quality of the life of a community depends on the characteristics of population which includes its size and distribution by age, sex, occupation, marital status and the geographical area of its existence. A comparable picture of the above characteristics over a period of time can also explain the development process of a locality. An accurate assessment demands an understanding of the changing attributes which can be better understood only by knowing the present scenario. The work mirrors the evolved and existing condition of the population of Thiruvananthapuram district on the basis of important socio- economic attributes and its spatial variation for the last thirty years and aims to provide a better understanding of the prevailing situation of the district.

Abstract: The knowledge has been recognized as the driver of productivity and economic growth in the knowledge-based economy. Countries around the globe are reviewing and restructuring regulations, financial operations and ownership in an attempt to take advantage of knowledge economy. In this economy there is a gradual shift from material goods to intangible goods. Stewart (1997)1 highlighted the importance of knowledge when he stated " Knowledge has become the primary ingredient of what we make , do, buy and sell. As a result , managing it - finding and growing intellectual capital, storing it , selling it, sharing it – has become the most important economic task of individuals, business and nations ". In July 1999, Tony Blair, the British Prime Minister said "the knowledge economy is the economy of future ".

Title	:	Is Food Processing Industry A Promise To The Growth And Sustanability Of New Entrepreneurs In India? An Account of Evidence from the Existing Realities
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Dr. B. Sudhakar Reddy
	:	10.9790/0837-19172427

Abstract: World Commission on Environment and Development was created in1983. Popularly known as Brundtland Commission (1983)2, it described sustainable development as "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". Drawing from the definition of sustainable development, Food processing industry has emerged recently as a sun rise industry and promoting entrepreneurial activities to a considerable extent. Business economists and practicing entrepreneurs are of the opinion that it is going to be a hub of new entrepreneurial activities in the near future. A strong and effective food processing sector plays a significant role in diversification of agricultural activities improving value addition opportunities and creating surplus for export of agro food products. The most important point in the food processing industry is that a substantial portion being rural based it has a very high employment potential with significantly lower investment. The fruits and vegetable farming for processing is not only employment intensive, but also enhances the gross as well as net return of the farmers. Further, food processing industry generates new demand as the farm sector for more and different agricultural outputs.

Abstract: The Muslim Students' Society of Nigeria (MSSN) is arguably the country's largest Islamic organization, in terms of numbers. The mother body for all Muslim students at all levels of education in Nigeria; it has the largest membership base in the country. Established in 1954, to serve as a common front for Muslim students, MSSN is unaffiliated in terms of ideology as it draws membership from all sects, ideologies and movements associated with Islam in Nigeria. At the top of the society's hierarchical echelon is the National Secretariat. Directly working under it are the 'A Zone' comprising northern states, and the 'B Zone' which oversees the states in the south. Each State of the Federation has an Area Unit but not all Local Government Areas has an Area Council. The district division is represented by central branches under which there are branches in secondary and tertiary institutions of learning. This article attempts to unveil the activities and challenges of the Muslim Students' Society of Nigeria, Nasarawa Area Unit.

Abstract: "Education is something which ought to be brought within the reach of every one."
"The object of primary education is to see that every child that enters the portals of a primary school does leave it only at a stage when it becomes literate and continues to be literate throughout the rest of his life." -B.R. Ambedkar
The term "Marginalization" generally describes the overt actions or tendencies of human societies whereby those perceived as being without desirability or function are removed or excluded (i.e., are "marginalized"…) from the prevalent systems of protection and integration, so limiting their opportunities and means for survival. Education was perceived as crucial to processes of planned change. It was seen as the key instrument for bringing about a social order based on value of equality and social justice.

Title	:	Dystopian World and Young Adults in M. T. Anderson's Feed Science Fiction
Country	:	Indonesia
Authors	:	Leni Marlina
	:	10.9790/0837-19176773

Abstract: Dystopian world in young adults literature can be found in science fiction genre such as M.T. Anderson's Feed (2002). The dystopia in this young adults text reveals that there is no hope anymore on Earth because everything living and beautiful has been dead. In this situation, there is an internet chip called 'feed' implanted into humans' brain. It becomes everything for people and it has taken control over the world. In Anderson's Feed, two teenagers, Titus and Violet, are struggling to find themselves in the world which has been dominated and occupied by technology as well as corporate. This research paper discusses the concept of science fiction with a dystopian world as a genre in children's literature. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the narrative strategies that are employed to construct the main protagonist, within a dystopian society by using Nikolajeva's model of characterization; and to discuss the readers positioning based on point of view, focalisation and characterization as part of narrative strategies which significantly function in inviting the readers to engage with the narrative as well as to position the readers in young adults text. It is found that the homodiegetic narrator and another focalising agent in Anderson's Feed informs the readers that futuristic universe which is maintained through technological and corporate control will cause the worst effect to humans. By using multiple characters' focalisation, Anderson's Feed situates the implied readers into various and challenging positions.

	:	10.9790/0837-19179096

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to explore the link between ownership concentration and the market value of listed companies using data from the selected 21 banks listed on the Nigeria Stock Exchange during the period of 2008 - 2012. The hypothesis formulated and tested for the study was that there is no significant relationship between ownership concentration and market value of listed companies. Ownership concentration was considered as independent variable while market value was considered as dependent variable. Ownership concentration was measured by the amount of stock owned by individual investors and large –block shareholders divided by total stock. Market value was determined using the stock prices. The firm specific control variables were loan performance, profitability and firm size of the selected companies. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze the data while least square regression method was used to draw inference on the relationship between ownership concentration and firm value. The result indicates that a positive significant relationship exists between a firm value and ownership concentration.

Abstract: This study will explain how Total Quality Management can be implemented at the second line aircraft maintenance department of Pakistan Naval Aviation. The TQM Implementation process can be established by considering four important elements: Top management commitment, present indoor quality culture of the second line maintenance activities, ISO certification of the organization, and the built in TQM characteristics of Pakistan Naval Aviation. The instructions and guide lines of Naval Aviation Maintenance Manual UK and Group Officer Quality Assurance at Air Engineering Department along with the intellectual support of Sir Imranullah Shriff will be used for TQM implementation. Aircraft Maintenance Control Office, Group Officer Quality Assurance and Group Officer Air Engineering Training are the help lines to be approached for assistance for TQM implementation. Battery shop is presented as TQM model work shop for other shops of second line maintenance activities for using it as a bench mark. The project recommends the methodologies for the implementation process of TQM. An understanding of the hurdles to the TQM implementation process, for corrective actions improvements, suggestions and recommendations will shape the end of the project.
Key Words: Aircraft Maintenance Control Office (AMCO), continuous improvement, Indoor quality culture, second line maintenance activities (SLMA), Total quality management (TQM).

Abstract: For software companies in business of custom software development faces a high threat on quality, specifically for large enterprise & complex systems. It is very time consuming and difficult to test every feature of application whenever new changes are implemented. Testers usually work in a fire fighting mode and do not get enough time to test and execute regression testing. Cost in defect identification, fixing and verification increases after every phase of software development life cycle, which also increases de-motivation in employees. In order to evaluate automation techniques and their effects on cost of quality, a study is conducted at Systems Limited (one of pioneer Software House of Pakistan).
Keywords: Basic Tools of Quality, Cost of Quality, Software Performance Testing, Software Quality Assurance, Software Test Automation.
