Title | : | Interpretation of "Public Morals‟ under Article XX of the GATT |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Ms. Nargis Yeasmeen |
Abstract: In the present position where trade is in the emerging stage, there the relationship between free trade and morality is no doubt a significant issue. This free trade and morality co-exist in a precarious balance. However finding a proper balance between the two notions is an arduous task. Article XX of the GATT reflects an exhaustive list of exceptions to the basic GATT obligation, which is designed to provide the member states with flexibility in regulating the sensitive areas like protection of public morals, of human, animal or plant life or health. A broad interpretation of this clause might trigger excessive invocation of this exception which may defeat the ultimate purpose of the GATT and a narrow interpretation may pose a threat to the national sovereignty of the member states. Thus, the challenge is to find an apt interpretation of the term 'public morals'.

Title | : | Vasanthotsava - Dances of the Spring Festival in Vijayanagar Times |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Padmini Seshadri || Dr. Choodamani Nandagopal |
Abstract: Innumerable accounts of the glorious period of Vijayanagar Empire with particular reference to the spring festival, Vasantotsava are found given by many historians and foreign travelers. The history of Vijayanagar is so rich that it offers more attempts of interpretation with a fresh perspective. The Vijayanagar times was a golden era for all art forms, especially, the dance and music as both these forms reached their pinnacle during this period. Royal Patronage was largely responsible for the thriving of these art forms. The rulers of Vijayanagar Empire were connoisseurs of music and dance and were themselves exponents of various art forms. Their knowledge of these art forms can be evidenced in the work of Venkatarammanayya, "Vasantotsava during the Vijayanagar times was a grand celebration of the king‟s power. During the rule of Sri Krishnadevaraya, a typical Classical Sanskrit drama- "Jambhavathi Kalyana" was written and attributed to King Krishnadevaraya, which was enacted annually at the capital city.

Title | : | A reflection of Krishna's kaleidoscopic presence in dance |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Madhulika Acharya |
Abstract: The Indian legend, Krishna is a name that resonates in every heart. One of the most popular themes for all types of dances over many a thousand years has been Krishna. Krishna in dance has been perceived from the point of view of Chaturvidhaabhinayabeing the broadest approach, along with the Ashta/Nava rasas and Krishna as seen in different dance forms. In Angika we see various postures, in Vachika the literary compositions, in Aharya the effervescent shades and in Sattvika the Krishna concept. One can also visualize Krishna in any of the ashta/navarasas. Krishna's story is replete with highly emotive sequences through which it is possible to experience every rasa...

Title | : | Measures for inclusion:Coping with challenges/ barriers faced bylearners with physical impairment (PI) in regular schools. |
Country | : | Swaziland |
Authors | : | Dhemba Ishmael |
Abstract: Thoughts and actions may either be encouraged or discouraged by the environment people findthemselves. Permissive and/or restrictive social and physical environments have varying impacts to learners with disabilities in schools. If the environment is littered with barriers, one's progress is hindered, making it difficult for one to easily achieve, and the reverse is also true. Like what Roe (2008) says, "… for children's development andensuring effective inclusive practices, professionals need to create contexts that promote both social and academic inclusion. Since there are numerous forms of barriers and/or challenges that may be faced by learners in regular schools, this paper shall only examine social and physical barriers faced by learners with physical disabilities.

Title | : | School Leadership As Determinant Of Teacher Transfer Intention In Public Secondary Schools In Mbita And Suba Sub-Counties, Kenya |
Country | : | Kenya |
Authors | : | Dawo. Okwiri Jane Irene A || Dr. Kawasonga. Marcellus. Auja || Dr Gogo. Julius. Otieno |
Abstract: Teacher transfer intention, precursor to any transfer requests, impedes professional motivation to exert optimum work effort towards achieving school goals. This results in a drop in excitement with regular work activitiesto their learners' disadvantage. However, if granted, there would be underlying costs in pedagogical disturbance from teacher replacement, recruitment and cohesion activities. To mitigate this, among other concerns,since 2001, Teachers' Service Commission (TSC) has school-based teacher recruitment system that assumes that teachers apply for employment in schools of choice. Despite this effort, teacher transfer requests in Mbita and Suba Sub-counties {formerly one district named Suba by 2012} were at a high average, fluctuating from 29(29.5%) in 2009, 21(20%) in 2010, 27(22.7%) in 2011, 43(17%) in 2012, and 62(29%) in 2013. This was above the highest Homabay County average of 12.2% in the said period.
