Title	:	Anatomy in the Susruta Samhita
Country	:	India

Abstract: Ayurveda is the Indian system of traditional medicine. It is attributed to Dhanvantari, the physician to the gods in Hindu Mythology, who received it from Brahma. The most important Ayurvedic are the Caraka Samhita and Susruta Samhita. Susruta Samhita is attributed to Susruta. He was the 1st Indian surgeon of 600 century BC. The Susruta Samhita is a Sanskrit text on surgery. It is the main source of knowledge about surgery in ancient India. The Susruta Samhita provided important surgical and anatomical information of the understanding of anatomy by Indians in the 6th century BCE. Anatomical knowledge in ancient India was derived principally from animal sacrifice, chance observations of improperly buried human bodies and examinations of patients made by doctors during treatment. It was Susruta's belief that for one to be a skilful and erudite surgeon, one must first be an anatomist. The Susruta Samhita is made up of 10 chapters regarding the study of human anatomy. According to Susruta Samhita, the different parts or members of the body as mentioned before including the skin, cannot be correctly described by one who is not well versed in anatomy. In this present paper an attempt has been made to highlight the anatomy as depicted in the Susruta Samhita.

Abstract: Public view of domestic violence has been undergoing a paradigm shift from previously considered private problem to a public issue. Thus, government interventions in this area are badly needed. This study aimed to (1) describe the expectations of women victims of domestic violence to public organizations; (2) Supports and barriers of prevention and management of domestic violence, and (3) determine the strategy and implementation of prevention and services to women victims of domestic violence associated with gender fairness. This is a qualitative study using phenomenological approach. The research location was in Jember Regency, East Java Province, Indonesia. The results showed that women victims of domestic violence expected all parties respect the decisions on wanting to divorce with their husbands who had been violent. The forms of respect were the facilitation and acceleration of the process of divorce either in scope of the institution where the husband/women worked, the prosecutor and the court. Meanwhile, Jember Regency government supports through local legislation, Regent's Decree/Regulation on the establishment of the Integrated Service Center for Regency Level, Complaint Post at District level and Griya Asih (Home for Service) at Village/administrative village level. Similarly, the supports are given through 12 organizations/ government agencies/bodies and 3 NGOs on women's empowerment, including the protection of women and children. However, these activities still experience some constraints in structure level, patriarchal culture, personality, interpretation of religious teachings and systems of regulation. Furthermore, the strategy and implementation of services to women victims of domestic violence associated with gender kesataraan is by top down and bottom up approach.

Title	:	The State and Political Corruption in Nigeria: An Anatomy of a Perverse Pathology
Country	:	Nigeria
Authors	:	Ibrahim Kawuley Mikail, Dr. Hauwa'u Evelyn Yusuf
	:	10.9790/0837-19751724

Abstract: Corruption is a terrible and endemic sickness of developing world; Nigeria inclusive Embezzlement, fraud, bribery, payoff, nepotism and extortion are so common in the activities of Nigerians since from colonial era to post independence, military and civilian regimes. The paper examined the problem of corruption in Nigeria with special reference on corrupt practices by different governments (1960-20013). Secondary source of data was employed in this study. The paper traced the background of corrupt practices in Nigeria which emerged since colonial era, then first indigenous elites as well as the military regimes (1966-1979) and (1983-1999), second and third republic down to the current democratic dispensation of fourth republic. The paper reveals that political corruption paved the way for the elites to institutionalize other forms of corruption such as bureaucratic, electoral, economic, judiciary and among others which has negative effect on national development. The paper recommended among others that the federal government should make a law for executing corrupt people as in the case of China as well as to strengthen its anti-graft agencies (i.e. EFCC and CPC) with fairness and equity to all tiers of government and private sectors

Title	:	Socio-Legal Dimensions of Live-In-Relationships in India
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Dr. Rabbiraj. C
	:	10.9790/0837-19752529

Abstract: Marriage and family is the foundation of Indian culture and tradition. The Indian society is mostly religious and family centric. The influence of live-in-relationships in India is of very recent past which has raised several crucial questions relating to the impact of such relationships on the society. Although, there is no legislation on this subject matter, the Indian judiciary has thrown much light into the issue on live-in-relationships and has prudently tried to balance the general expectations of the society and the individual rights of people. This article highlights the issue of live-in-relationships in India and examines the need to protect the future generation from the influence of live-in-relationships which is no better arrangement than marriage.

Title	:	The Early Expansion of English Trade in Suba Bengal
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Dr. Pradipta Acharya
	:	10.9790/0837-19753031

Abstract: The coming of the English East India Company to Bengal and their settlement over here was an important landmark in the history of Bengal and India as a whole. It was from the very early stage of the seventeenth century that we could see their efforts to establish their stronghold over Bengal which is known from the letters of Sir Thomas Roe. On the other hand the agents of the Dutch East India Company were also eager to establish their commercial relations with Bengal as is known from the letter of Van Berchem (the Director of the Dutch Factories of Coromandel). The English from their very early phase were interested in establishing a factory at Pipili in Orissa. However their hope did not materialised and they establish their first factory at Patna in Eastern India. Though, the hope of establishing a factory at Orissa by them was never stopped. The English sent two ships again at Pipili. Finally in AD 1633 the English factory established at Balasore which was at that time under the Bengal Suba (province). One of the main reasons behind the establishing of a factory at Balasore was the easy availability of Cotton cloth and above all the direct opening through sea.

Abstract: The state of Jammu and Kashmir has a unique geographical personality. It is well endowed in renewable natural resources. Its mighty rivers, evergreen forest, snow covered peaks, invigorating climate and humane population are unparallel in the world. The valley of Kashmir is famous for its beauty and natural scenery throughout the world. Its high snow-clad mountains, scenic spots, beautiful valleys, rivers with ice-cold water, attractive lakes and springs and ever-green fields, dense forests and beautiful health resorts, enhance its grandeur and are a source of great attraction for tourists. The State is distinct from rest of the states in terms of its topography, climate, economy, social setting and because of its strategic location. Besides all this, the State is a multi-hazard prone region of the country. It has a long history of natural hazards like floods, famines, fires, earthquakes, high velocity winds and landslides. The earthquakes have a very high frequency of occurrence in whole of the State, incessant floods are recurrently occurring in the valley, high velocity windstorms occur in Ladakh and the valley while as landslides / avalanches is a widespread phenomenon in the hilly areas of the State. Despite being so vulnerable and prone to disasters, there is no literature available on the subject. No serious research has been conducted in this direction so far. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of natural disaster scenario, to understand the historicity of disasters in Kashmir with their frequency, document the disaster mitigation mechanism in Jammu and Kashmir and to suggest measures for reducing vulnerability to hazards.

Title	:	Bildung, Meditation and Safe Haven
Country	:	New Zealand
Authors	:	Janine Joyce
	:	10.9790/0837-19754661

Abstract: Many philosophers globally - ranging from Aristotle, through to the eastern Vivekânanda andEuropeans,Immanuel Kant, Emmanuel Levinas and Wilhelm von Humbolt- espouse the possibility andcapability of humanity to evolve into a higher level of relationships with each other and consequently of consciousness. Akey requirement for this to occur is the individual's transformation of mind, body and heart. This paper argues that Universities are ideally situated to facilitate the spiritual practices, attitudes and openness that can allow an individual to develop the capacity to welcome such a journey ofself-transformation. It is the capacity to allow, nourish and provide safe haven for individuals to develop a harmonization of mind, body and heart which many believe leads to the natural expression of noble ethics and the virtues required for them to be articulated. This process is one that by nature occurs deep within the individual being both spiritual and transformative. Spiritual processes such as meditation are posed as practical in facilitating some aspects of a classical spiritual definition of Bildung (or education). Specific examples of lived individual transformation are included from a purposive sample of Sahaj Marg Raja Yoga1 meditation practitioners interviewed using a semi structured open-ended question style, which included the question- what is Spiritual Brother-sisterhood? Those interviewed had all been nominated and had attended a four week residential International Scholarship Training Program(ISTP2) with twenty-eight other Sahaj Marg practitioners from all around the world.

Title	:	Conduct and Profitability of Gari Production for Increased Food Security in Ondo State, Nigeria
Country	:	Nigeria
Authors	:	Ijigbade, J. O, Fatuase, A.I, Omisope, E.T
	:	10.9790/0837-19758995

Abstract: The study assessed the profitability of Gari production in Ondo State, Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 216 gari producers from six Local Government Areas of Ondo State. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics, profitability analysis and multiple regression model. The results revealed that 86.1% of gari producers were female with 45.4% of the respondents produced white gari. Majority of the respondents (77.8%) fermented their cassava for 4 - 5 days. The profitability analysis revealed that gari production was a profitable enterprise given a gross margin and profit of N24,582.18 and N16,582.18 per gari processing cycle respectively. The results of the multiple regression further showed that access to credit, cost of purchase, producer's experience and price fluctuation were the statistically significant factors that affect the returns to gari production in the study area. The main challenges faced by the producers were inadequate funds (65.3%) and fluctuation of producers' price (61.1%). Therefore, this study recommends that white gari which is more durable and acceptable should be given higher priority in production. Since, credit access and producers' price fluctuation positively influenced returns to gari production; it was also recommended that relevant policies to address access to credit as well as good storage facilities to guide against drastic fall in price should be put in place for the gari producers.
