Abstract: The rape incident echoed in the assembly over the rape case of 6 year old student in Bangalore's private school recently on July 2, 2014. Blame game, instead taking collective responsibility by each elected member they just try to blame each other by the so called elected representatives. Moreover, police have invoked Section 376 (rape) of IPC and Sections 4 and 6 of Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse (POCSO) Act 2012. Forget about the rape cases occurred at the remote places, today rapes have become very common in the school premises in a day light. Children are being easily targeted and victimizing,is it the effect of globalizing. In Karnataka over 1000 rapes have been reported in 2013 as per the State Crime Record Bureau. It means on an average around two rape cases have been registered in each day in 2013. The other pathetic condition in the state is that the rate of conviction in Karnataka was 11.6 per cent in 2010, dropping to 9.3 per cent in 2011. In 2012, just 434 of the 23,525 charge-sheeted, went to jail, forming 6.5 per cent (TOI Arun 30 Jan 2014).

Title	:	Attaining Poverty Alleviation through Physiocratic Principles: Nigeria in Focus
Country	:	Nigeria

Abstract: Nigeria‟s overdependence on petroleum resource, kleptocracy and gross mismanagement of the oil wealth, are sapping the resilience of the nation‟s economy. Against the background of agricultural inequity, whatever the development strides taken by Nigeria over the decades, much remains to be achieved. Underscoring the direct and positive relationship between employment and poverty reduction, this paper sought to scrutinise the scope of agricultural activities in Nigeria as various poverty alleviation initiatives are set in motion by the Nigerian government in pursuance of the attainment of Africa‟s Millennium Development Goals.

Title	:	The Context and Structure of Funeral Oratory among the Bukusu
Country	:	Kenya
Authors	:	Michael Maelo
	:	10.9790/0837-191233039

Abstract:Khuswala kumuse (funeral oratory) is a central rite among the Babukusu. It is a significant ritual that defines their worldview and how they relate with their cosmology and themselves. Given its centrality in the Bukusu cosmology, it is important to examine how the orator puts to use language to construct meanings that enables this society to understand itself. This paper is an investigation of how the content and structure of the Bukusu funeral oratory contribute to the overall understanding of the Babukusu historical heritage. Data was collected from pre-recorded cassette tapes of speeches of Manguliechi (a renowned Bukusu orator) and video tapes of the performance of khuswala kumuse ritual for the late Vice-president of the Republic of Kenya Michael Kijana Wamalwa (purchased from Kenya Broadcasting Cooperation, marketing department). These were transcribed and translated into English and generalizations made on the content and context. It was for example noted that the ritual is a form of epic recreating the history of Babukusu. Its structure makes use of a stylized beginning and ending with poetic language. Its content touches on several aspects such as health, politics and economics. This helps in the understanding of Babukusu.

Title	:	NC Effects: The case of Lubukusu Phonology
Country	:	kenya
Authors	:	Henry Simiyu Nandelenga
	:	10.9790/0837-191234058

Abstract: NC effects refer to phonological processes that are triggered whenever a nasal sound is prefixed before a consonant in the onset position of the syllable cross-linguistically. Most languages consider a nasal-consonant sequence as a marked onset cluster based on sonority sequencing principles and/or other syllable-based phonotactics. In the traditional rule-based Derivational and Non-Linear Phonology approaches, these processes were explained purely in terms of nasal place assimilation without reference to the syllable structure typology of the specific language. In particular, rule-ordering of the Generative Phonology failed to account for simultaneous processes such as nasal place assimilation alongside post-nasal voicing or hardening. However,

Title	:	Election-Related Violence and Security Challenges in Nigeria: Lessons from the Aftermath of the 2011 General Election
Country	:	Nigeria
Authors	:	Shaapera, Simon Aondohemba || Obadahun, Simon O. || Alibaba, Abdulrahman
	:	10.9790/0837-191235968

Abstract:This paper examines elections and the security challenges in Nigeria with a specific reference to the post-2011 electoral violence in the northern part of the country. The data for this paper are drawn mostly from the secondary sources while personal observation was employed to compliment findings from the literature. Systematically, the paper reviews the conceptions of electoral violence; perspectives on election-related violence and security of lives and property in Nigeria; lessons from the 2011 general election and the challenges ahead of 2015 election in Nigeria. The major findings of the paper reveal that from the 1950s, elections in Nigeria approximated a war that is often waged to determine political power. All weapons are always available for politicians in Nigeria to use religion, ethnic sentiments, out-right bribery, the power of incumbency, corruption, the abuse of electoral process, etc.

Country	:	India
Authors	:	VandanaMohanty || Dr. Sujit Kumar Acharya
	:	10.9790/0837-191236974

Abstract: Diversity climate perception and satisfaction at the work place are distinct but related constructs, and both appear to influence employees' understanding of the work environment and their perception of Diversity. The objective of this study was to explore the employees' perceptions of the work environment and their acceptance of Diversity. A Diversity climate questionnaire was administered to a convenience sample of 75 employees from a population of 105 employees working in a Telecom Company, a MNC at Bhubaneswar. An independent sample t test was run to support the findings.The results show significant differences among investigated groups. For instance, higher education level, and age lead to a higher positive perception of diversity. It also shows a significant relationship between them.In between the study, two other diversity variables culture and language are discovered which could have taken in the study. Perception of the diversity climate helped in understanding the level of Diversity that is prevalent in the organization. This study will help in highlighting the need for more transparent and diversity-sensitive recruitment, promotion, and networking policies/practices.Our paper will contribute to the literature of Diversity Climate Perception by investigating the perception of employees on Diversity and the role that diversity will play on employees attitude and satisfaction level.

Title	:	Effects of Implementation of Project Plans on the Performance of Commercial Banks in Kenya: (A Survey of Commercial Banks in Migori Town)
Country	:	Kenya
Authors	:	Kepha Momanyi Osoro || Odhiambo Lameck Owino
	:	10.9790/0837-191237594

Abstract: While formal project plans are of a practically central concern in project management, their successful implementation remains an essential challenge for virtually every organization. In situations where the organization's environment is changing, the organization itself is faced with a need to change. The fact that Commercial Banks in Kenya are in transition following the change in market demand, consumer behavior and influence of technology, require an appropriate background and detailed understanding of previous and existing challenges in project plans implementation so that a new shift is established. The banking industry has experienced a rapid growth in terms of profits, deposits, revenues in the recent past. This trend has triggered a lot of competition in the banking industry.

Country	:	India
Authors	:	Dr. Nitesh Kumar Baunthiyal
	:	10.9790/0837-191239597

Abstract:In A House for Mr. Biswas, Naipaul describes the search for identity and security of a protagonist who lives in an unstructured social milieu. The novel describes the experience of an expatriate of Trinidad via various places and to the Port of Spain. The life of the protagonist Mohan Biswas reflects the dilemma of a detached immigrant whose entire life passes in a desire to find his roots and to attain an authentic identity in the society. The life of Mr. Biswas also replicates the life of Naipaul, whose experience of exile reflects the unquenched need of identity. In the name of Mr. Biswas, author gets a way to trace his experiences of non-identity. The prologue of novel reflects the truth of Mr. Biswas‟s life:
