Abstract: Present day the numbers of child working population are increasing day by day in the developing and under developed countries. Actually the child working populations are called as child labour whose age ranged from 5 to 14 years. In India, the children are engaged mostly in various low-key jobs of the unorganized sectors which are hazardous in situation. The Census found an increase in the number of child labourers from 11.28 million in 1991 to 12.66 million in 2001 and 21.39 million in 2011. In addition, nearly 85 per cent of child labourers in India are hard-to-reach, invisible and excluded, as they work largely in the unorganised sector, both rural and urban, within the family or in household-based units. This paper reveals the causes of increasing child working people as well as present condition and some suggestions about to reduce of child worker in different sector in the country.

Abstract: Crop-wise production function analysis will clearly indicate many points which are not evident in aggregate and size-wise models. But crop-wise analysis is a farm of aggregate model as the output of a crop coming from different size enterprises has been put together. Land is an important factor for production and its effect on technology must be fully emphasized. It is only an inter-size analysis of production function for a particular crop, which can do away the limitations of an aggregate crop model. Inter-size crop models would also indicate the relative superiority of different crops for different size-group of farms that it is helpful for crop-cum-size level planning. The study aims to analyse the Inter-size crop level Agricultural Production Function for staple crop-groundnut based on entire sample of farms in Three Revenue Mandals of Nellore District, Andhra Pradesh.

Abstract: This study investigates the correlation of self-esteem with that of personality type of youth boys and girls who came to attend the one month Leadership Internship program me organized by RGNIYD during June 2012.The sample comprised of 41 youths from all over the country. To measure the variables under study, participants were administered with standardized tools available. To determine whether the participant was neurotic or extroverted, the Eysenck Personality Inventory was used; the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale was used to determine the self-esteem of participants. The data's thus collected were statistically treated with coefficient of correlation to find the relationship between the two variables under study. Alternate directional hypothesis is framed to be proved i.e"Self-esteem will be positively correlated with extraversion and negatively with neuroticism". Results show a significant positive correlation of self-esteem and personality (Extrovert Personality) of the participants.

Title	:	What Determines the Behavior of Exchange Rate in Pakistan: Monetary Model Analysis?
Country	:	Pakistan
Authors	:	Mr. Junaid Abbasi, Dr. Sadia Safdar

Abstract: Main objective of our study is to determine the exchange rate through the monetary model and modify the monetary model by using the annual time series data from 1982-2009. The results show that dollarization plays an important role in the determination of exchange rate so we should focus on the modified monetary instead of simple model. Thus exchange rate policy has to be selected taking into account high degree of dollarization.

Title	:	Demand for Money, Financial Innovation and Money Market Disequilibrium
Country	:	Pakistan
Authors	:	Dr. Sadia Safdar, Ms. Azra Khan
	:	10.9790/0837-19213641

Abstract: This study examines the impact of financial innovation on money demand and to analyze the impact of money market disequilibrium on output gap using co integration modeling. After the confirmation of ADF result we use the cointegration technique for our first model and concluded that both the numbers of ATM and cards are negatively related to the demand for money. So in order to control the money demand we should increase the ATMs. The results also confirm that there exists a quantity theory with the inclusion of financial innovation in the money demand function. Our second model is related to the money market disequilibrium and the output gap. The findings of this second model shows that money market disequilibrium leads to wider the output gap.

Title	:	Persian Illustrated Anatomy from Timurid Iran
Country	:	Iran
Authors	:	Ali Akbar Ziaee

Abstract: Anatomy and physiology formed an inseparable unit in Islamic medicine. The study of the anatomy and physiology of the human body remained of the greatest interest to Sufis, theologians and philosophers as well as to physicians, and students of most other traditional disciplines acquired some knowledge of it. The greatest concern of Muslims was with the overall functioning of the body and the inter-relation of the organs within the total unity of the body. Islamic Law did not permit the dissection of the human body, although its prohibition has been debated by some of jurists over the ages. As a result, practically no dissections were carried out and Muslims relied heavily upon Galenic anatomy and physiology and its theory of the circulation of the blood and the spirits which are reflected clearly in such famous Islamic texts of anatomy as the Tashrih-i Mansuri by Mansur ibn Ilyas. The oldest text of Islamic anatomy is the al-Mukhtasar fi 'ilm al-Tashrih, by 'Abdu al-Majid al-Bidawi, written in 620 H.. But in Persia he is also known as the author of two other works. One, which is represented by a solitary manuscriptin Calcutta and is called the Ghiyathiyyah or 'The Aid'; the other is his large kifaya-i-Mujahidiyyah, also known as the kifaya-i-Mansuri or 'Sufficiency of Mansur', as opposed to the better-known work of the same name by Rhazes.

Abstract: The discourse of human rights has been dominated by civil and political rights much to the detriment of economic, social and cultural rights. However, both categories of rights are inalienable. Using mainly secondary source of data including a content analysis of the report of the Ghana National Reconciliation Commission and transcripts of the testimonies of some victims who testified before the Commission; this paper finds that majority of human rights violations were committed by state security institutions against victims professionally described as "general occupation" and the wealthy and influential in society. This magnitude of the violations, perpetrated against these victims never received adequate policy response. Though the National Reconciliation Commission was established to address past human rights violations in Ghana, it failed to holistically examine, and also recommend adequate policy for victims of economic and social injustices. In conclusion, this paper recommends that human rights violations of economic and social nature deserve same concerns and response in transitional periods since the former provides the context within which the latter occur.
