Title	:	Violations of Fundamental Rights in Nigeria during Internal Strife and Civil Disturbances by the Nigerian Security Personnel.
Country	:	Nigeria
Authors	:	Abubakar S.R. Matazu

Abstract: Human rights law is the law that deals with the protection of individual and groups against violation by governments of their internationally guaranteed rights and the promotion of these rights. The world is however littered with basic examples of violation of fundamental rights which include, but not limited to discrimination, extra judicial execution, disappearances, torture and unfair trials. This index showcases that the number of human rights abuses are mostly committed by the state agencies, and in Nigeria, by the security personnel, saddled with the responsibility of ensuring protection of lives and properties. This paper therefore addresses instances of those violations during internal strife and civil disturbances in Nigeria

Keywords: Civil disturbances, human rights, internal strife, Nigerian security personnel, violation.

Title	:	The Poverty in India-An Over View
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Dr. D. Kumuda
	:	10.9790/0837-19870608

Abstract: India is a country of continental proportions, and poverty is a multidimensional phenomenon. Not surprisingly, the debate over poverty in India—its extent, trends, causes, and cure—is complex and controversial. Fortunately, India also has a much higher quality and more sub-stantial evidence base than most other countries for understanding poverty. Questions of poverty in India have engaged a large com-munity of researchers over the years. But in recent decades, because difficult measurement issues have arisen, a disproportionate amount of attention has been devoted to assessments of the extent of poverty and the rate of poverty decline. Much less is known about how the rapidly changing economic landscape has altered the underlying profile of poverty—and how that affects the consequent search for its causes and cure. Fundamentally, the concept of poverty is associated with socially perceived deprivation with respect to basic human needs. As a result, social perceptions are taken to play a dominant role in ascertaining deprivation although self -perceptions cannot be ignored altogether and aggregated individual preferences may have to be respected in satisfying any given need in most cases as weargue below in the context of consumption poverty. These basic human needs are usually listed in the material dimension as the need to be adequately nourished, the need to be decently clothed, the need to be reasonably sheltered, the need to escape avoidable diseases, the need to be (at least) minimally educated and the need to be mobile for purposes of social interaction and participation in economic activity.

Title	:	Educated Youth and Un-Employment: An Indian Perspective
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Dr. D. Kumuda
	:	10.9790/0837-19870911

Abstract: Creating jobs for young people is a major challenge around the world, which has been further exacerbated by the global financial crisis. In this broader context, this paper presents a profile of youth employment and unemployment in India, which has the world's largest youth population. Young Indians face major barriers because of poverty and low levels of human capital. Though educational attainment has risen in recent years, gaining a foothold in the labour market remains elusive for many young Indians. In rural and urban areas, young males are usually employed in casual jobs, while their female counterparts tend to be self -employed. Although a large proportion of young rural women are employed in agriculture, rural males are increasingly turning to the non -farm sector. Among young women, social conditions play an important role in determining labour force participation. In response to these challenges, policies should address the lack of productive employment opportunities for youth. While skills development is crucial, these initiatives should be supplemented by more comprehensive programmes that target the most vulnerable and disadvantaged youth.

Title	:	Al-Shabbabah
Country	:	Jordan
Authors	:	Ali Salem Hussein Al-Shurman
	:	10.9790/0837-19871221

Abstract:Folk musical instruments are national materialistic aspects of civilization; this is very much the case when such instruments gain much importance and become widely used and popular. These instruments are also part of the global musical heritage, and the shabbabah has become part of this heritage. Cross–cultural exchange worldwide has generated a sort of interconnection between cultures, which occurre in various styles and different ways through direct and indirect communications. Thus, the shape and the name of Al-shabbabah instrument varied from one country to another. Moreover, it was associated inseparably with the rituals that exist in every country where the researcher has shed light on some of the folk musical instruments, which sound similar to Alshabbabah. According to the above mentioned, the researcher has conducted special investigations in the north of Jordan to find out the use of this instrument in Jordan. To sum up the results, which clarify the types of this instrument, as well as, its pioneers of folk performers in which the researcher has chosen the shabbabah, as it is played by the performer Ma'moon Al-Omari. In this paper we will investigate it's its measures, range, registers, method of performance, musical features, in addition to the material, which this instrument is made from.

	:	10.9790/0837-19872227

Abstract: This paper dwells on the analysis of So Long a Letter, a novella by Mariama Ba, a Senegalese woman with a view to bringing out the issue of polygamy as thematically presented in the work. The thematic analysis of So Long a Letter is an obvious one. It solely condemns polygamy and it devastating effects on the girl-child in a cultural context and as constraints on the happiness of couples who are usually separated. Feminism in its various strands was adopted as the theoretical framework. Women and men are guilty of polygamy as they collaborate in promoting the practice using religious and cultural platform while these actors have different motives.

Title	:	Persistence as a function of locus of control and Expectancy of goal attainment
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Dr. Rekha Sharma

Abstract: 180 male students of 10+1&10+2 were tested on Rotter's scale of locus of control and experimentally induced situations of probability of success by giving specific instructions. An Insoluble figure--- 'perceptual reasoning task' was used to test persistence of externally controlled Ss & internally controlled Ss in three experimental conditions i.e.P.25 (difficult task), P.50(intermediate task) &P.75(easy task).Persistence scores were taken as time spent by Ss on perceptual reasoning task. Analysis of variance & t-test were used for analysis of data. Findings concluded that-----(1) internally controlled Ss persisted longer at P.50&P.75 in comparison to P.25.(2) externally controlled Ss persisted longer at P.50 in comparison to P.25&P.75(3)there was no significant difference between internally controlled Ss and externally controlled Ss at P.50.

Keywords: Persistence, Locus of control, External locus of control, internal locus of control, probability of success, P.25, P.50 &P.75.

Title	:	Indian View of Peace and Development Leading to Global Harmony and Unity
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Mousumi Das
	:	10.9790/0837-19874249

Abstract: The Indians think in a different way. Their philosophy, value systems, culture are different from the western counterparts. The political history of the Occident bore evidences that the centre of their life was the achievement of power. Thus, to the west, State attained a pivotal role and the system of power revolved round the State. In India, the centre of life was the society and not the state. In pre British India we can find a ruling power like a king or emperor but he was only a ruler .The development and the welfare of the common people were vested only on the society. Arthasastra and Manusamhita bore evidences of some specific duties and general duties to be performed by the people for the all round development of the society. S.K.Mitra in his book The Ethics of the Hindus stated that Manu distinguished between relative duties (varṇāśrama dharmas), i.e., duties relative to one‟s station of life, and common duties (sādhāraṇadharmas), i.e., duties of universal scope and validity. The relative duties are the specific duties relating to one‟s station in life, i.e., one‟s station as determined by one‟s varṇa or caste and one‟s āśrama or particular stages of life. The universal duties are the duties irrespective of one‟s age, caste, or creed, i.e
