Abstract: This study investigated the challenges in management of electronic records in private radio corporation libraries in Kaduna State. The objective of the study is to determine the types of electronic records available in the libraries and the challenges faced by the libraries in managing these electronic records. Qualitative research methodology was used for the study; interview was the instruments used for data collection. Four (4) private radio corporation libraries were purposively selected including four (4) private radio corporation administrative staff and five (5) private radio corporation libraries staff making a total of nine (9) staff as the sample size. The findings of the study showed that there were different types of electronic records, which include electronic programmes, electronic events, electronic news, electronic music and electronic mail.

Abstract: scheduling of tribes of Mysore state has been done in 1950 by evolving a list of names of communities from a combination of the 1901 Census list of Animist-Forest and Hill tribes and V.R.Thyagaraja Aiyar's Ethnographic glossary. However, the pooling of communites as Animist-Forest & Hill tribes in the Census had occurred due to the rather artificial classification of castes based on whether they were not the sub-caste of a main caste, their occupation, place of residence and the fictitious religion called 'Animists'. It is not a true reflection of the so called tribal characteristics such as exclusion of these communities from the mainstrream habitation or rituals.

Abstract: Suicide is the tragic loss of human life, which is untimely and devastating. Suicidal behaviour is all the more mystifying because it is a mindful volitional act. It is a lethal act due to a complex interaction of social, environmental, biological and cultural factors working on an individual's life. The curse of suicidal behaviour touches many lives and knows few limitations. More than one lakh persons (1,34,599) in India lost their lives by committing suicide during the year 2010, this indicates an increase of 5.9% over the previous year's figure (1,27,151). Rate of suicides, i.e., the number of suicides per one lakh population, has been widely accepted as a standard yardstick.

Abstract: This publication is to study, observe and analysis of chemical and physical properties of Soil. The soil is obtained from two different geographical locations in Maharashtra. The testing is done in standard test laboratory and authenticated testing report is obtained for different soil. Soil Analysis Test Results is then compared and few conclusions are obtained from the test reports. Basic interpretations can be drawn for the improvement in soil from the comparison.

Abstract: Hydropower is one of the State's key resources and J&K intends to accelerate harnessing this potential as an integral part of its economic development. The development of hydro potential in the State is expected to usher in huge economic benefits in the form of infrastructure development, industrialization and employment generation. With increase in hydropower generation & improvement in efficiencies in transmission and distribution of electricity, J&K aims not only to provide energy at affordable cost for eco-friendly industrial development but also turn into a net energy exporter. J&K is one of the states of India which is having tremendous hydro-power potential. But one of the major constraints in tapping hydro-power in the state besides shortage of resources is the "Indus Water Treaty". The Treaty lays restrictions on storage of water on major rivers of J&K thus restricting the scope of hydro-power generation.

Abstract: This study analyzes cohesion and coherence in Lubukusu texts. It specifically makes analysis of linguistic strategies that trigger cohesion and coherence in this language. In the analysis, grammatical cohesion, which involves syntactic cohesive devices such as reference, ellipsis, substitution, and conjunctions as well as the morphological cohesive device which makes use of agreement features, has been considered. An interface approach is taken, where the syntactic cohesion has implication on the morphological cohesion and vice versa. Also analyzed is lexical cohesion that involves reiteration and collocation, which also interacts with morphological cohesion. The Systemic Functional theory has been used in the analysis of the Lubukusu texts. It is observed in the paper that cohesion in this language rests upon grammatical and lexical dependencies that are expressed through various devices; which in turn results into coherence in texts. The study concludes that cohesion and coherence are central to the interpretation and meaning in texts in Lubukusu.

Keywords: Cohesion, coherence, morphosyntax, systemic functional theory.

Abstract: The Agrestic slaves belonged to the lowest castes in the Hindu hierarchy. They were not only untouchables, but were unapproachable too. Disabilities of untouchability become severe as they are also physically and socially segregated from the rest of the Hindu society through the institution of caste. These discriminated communities are then officially designated as Scheduled Caste. Scheduled Castes were subjected to 'Agrestic Slaves' and they were landless peasants; they have been producing the goods and services for their master. They were always on the marginalized sections of the Kerala society, inequality was the main sources of this marginality which led to insecurity, injustice and exploitation. Census report of Cochin 1901, referred to the state of Cochin in various classes of agricultural serfs such as Kanakkan, Prayian ,Vettuvan and Pulayan or Cheruman. The Pulayans or Cherumans are the most important not only in numerical strength but also as representing the type of the class, they form about 75% of the Agrestic serfs, they are still field laboures properly so called, being engaged in digging, ploughing or irrigating the fields, watching the crops or tending the cattle. They are constituted an important category of the dalit community in Cochin.
