Abstract: This study examines factors affecting adaptation strategies to climate change of small-scale farmers in Vihiga sub County in Kenya. Vihiga sub County is a rich agricultural area where various food and cash crops are grown. However, changes in climate coupled with declining soil fertility over the area have impacted on crop production, and hence affect food security especially among small scale farmers. The study sought to examine farmer's perceptions to climate change and factors that influenced small scale farmers in adapting to climate change. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. Data from both primary and secondary sources were used. Primary data included Focal Group Discussions (FGDs), questionnaires and interview schedules administered to farmers to gain information on farmer's perceptions to climate change, adaptation strategies to climate change if any and factors likely to influence their adaptation strategies.......

Abstract: The agenda-setting theory has long been around since investigations into the role of the media in the transmission of salience issues and what awareness it generates plus the priority the audience gives same was unearthed. Three derivatives (policy agenda-setting, public agenda-setting and media agenda or agenda building) earlier identified by Rogers and Dearing have been instrumental to these processes and investigations. On account of the impact of the Internet on the communication ecosystem and to complement the earlier three offshoots, the agenda-setting framework is ripe for additional amplification. And because the Internet has expanded the media ambit and rendered additional platforms via convergence and digitization......

Abstract: Deval has to help Pabuji throughout the story, there is the relative strength of Deval and Pabuji: as the constant need for her help suggests, she is much the more powerful. It may seem curious that the central god is weaker than one of the other deified characters in this epic. The attitude of mixed feeling towards the goddess symbolizes the way in which she is regarded, in her various reflections, throughout Rajasthan and, no doubt, far beyond. Deval herself shares in this ambivalence: she is acting for good of the world, and attempting to resolve cosmic problem, but she is also the cause of much bloodshed and death......

Abstract: Study of Sanskrit Language and literature is well recognized as a curriculum of both Indian and International Universities in the 21st century. Wisdom of Sanskrit language is not achievable without taking the help of Pāṇini's language rules. A logical enlightenment of the structure of words in a language is not anything but the grammar itself. Pāṇini's grammar is the only solution to comprehend the Sanskrit language and literature. In this connection, Pāṇini's work Aṣṭādhyāyī is a stylistic approach of grammatical literature. Aṣṭādhyāyī is just like the Sun which imparts light to other revolving planets. Sanskrit language and Pāṇinian system of grammar are the two sides of a coin. Mastery of Sanskrit language is not possible without study of Pāṇinian rules on grammar. The current study is a humble effort to discuss the Pāṇinian terminology of phonetics in Sanskrit and its appliance.
