Abstract: This paper examines the implication of over-population and environmental degradation on security
in Port-Harcourt with the assumption that the more people seek to survive, the more intense their activities on
the environment which leads to degradation. Adopting the human needs theory, it argues that the development
in the city attracts people into it and therefore, causing further degradation and pollution. The city is highly
populated, and the bulk, mostly unemployed youths turn to violence and crimes having been introduced to
political violence by the elites. When such opportunities were no longer there, they sought for ways to make
ends meet and thus, got involved in street violence and militancy. It is therefore suggested that the city be
decongested by developing other towns and villages outside Port-Harcourt and relocate some of the government
ministries and departments; make sporting facilities available in these localities to divert the attention of the
youths from violence. The state is also required to gainfully engage the youths and stop using them as political
thugs.

Abstract:Achievement motivation is the acquired tendency and one of the most important social needs. It is a
disposition to strive for success in competition with others with some standard of excellence, set by the
individual. In physical education teacher training curriculum there is ample scope of rigorous physical activity
as well as educational and mental exercise; so the main goal of the present study was to ascertain the impact of
this training in development of Achievement Motivation. This one was a longitudinal study carried out through
quasi-experimental research design. A sample of 200 B.P.Ed students was chosen from different teacher
education institutions of West Bengal by stratified random sampling technique. Deo-Mohan Achievement
Motivation Scale (n-Ach) was administered on the sample in three different phases – at the beginning, in the
middle and at the end of the session. From the Paired Samples "t" - test it was observed that there was
statistically significant increase in the mean of the Sports Achievement Motivation scores from the 1st phase (M
= 16.86) to the 2nd phase of testing (M = 17.90) and again to the 3rd phase of testing (M = 18.82). Again, the
means of the Total Achievement Motivation scores was statistically significant increase from the 1st phase (M =
158.07) to the 2nd phase of testing (M = 171.06), and again to the 3rd phase of testing (M = 184.07).

Abstract: Globalization has resulted in multi-cultural and diverse workforces across the globe. Diversity in a
workplace increases adaptability amongst employees; different talents of various individuals have become great
resources, which also result in a pool of unique contributions. As a diverse genders and culture comes together,
it provides a spectrum of viewpoints to meet objectives and accomplish goals. Thus diverse work force is an
environment where people accept differences rather than deny them. If we pay attention to gender differences,
we just might untangle the gender communications knots and get the job done faster and make working
environment hassle free. Successful organizations need to create effective communication within a diverse
workforce. In order to do so, it is necessary to focus on the gender differences in communication
patterns. Overlooking the differences between the two gender roles can cause confusion and biases thus
consequently having a negative impact on the overall organizational performance. However, gender
issues arising from misunderstanding could be reduced within the organization by establishing equilibrium
between men and women. The only way to have a healthy working atmosphere within an organization is to
identify the differences and find ways to bridge the communication gulf between the sexes. Through two quizzes
an attempt has been made in this work to explore different approaches followed by male and female associates
to communicate in an organization.

Title | : | Media and Freedom of Expression |

Abstract:Freedom of Expression is an issue much talked about specially in conflict situations. Studies have
been done on whether people can defeat the fear and regain the lost right to Freedom of expression. In the Naga
case, decades of political struggle with India have made the Naga people to live under suppression from the
right to freedom of expression. For many years, voices of political dissent have been silenced by the gun.
People cannot voice their opinion freely for fear for their lives. A case in point in newspaper article shows a
path in a different direction the society to take. All it took was for a writer who voiced his opinion by following
his conscience. Is one conscience enough? Maybe to initiate, but to enjoy the right to freedom of expression,
individuals and the public must raise their voice.
Keywords – Freedom of expression and Political opposition, media, opinion, views, freedom expression of idea, regulate freedom of expression; kill an idea, Naga conflict.

Title | : | Conjoint Analysis: A Study on UOG Faculty Service |
Country | : | Pakistan |
Authors | : | Zahoor Ahmad, Sadaf Nawaz |

Abstract:A good teaching service of faculty members is the key to success of universities regarding their good
product of students. In this research paper our major objective is to find important attributes and their levels of
good service of faculty members. We focus on student's choice because service of faculty member plays a vital
role on the performance of students. In our case especially we want to investigate student's preferences toward
attributes and their levels of service. We collect data from University of Gujrat by using two types of
questionnaires. One questionnaire was for Full Profile Conjoint Analysis and other for Choice-Based Conjoint
Analysis. Full Profile Conjoint Analysis technique we used four attributes with two levels each. The attributes
with their levels are Qualification (MSc/MA and M.Phil/PhD), Teaching Methodology (Verbal & White Board
and Multimedia), Lecture Material (Net & Lecture Notes and Books) and Gender (Male and female). From the
results of Full Profile Conjoint Analysis we conclude that students give first importance to Qualification, almost
same importance to Teaching Methodology and Lecture Material. They give least importance to gender of
faculty member. According to our results regarding levels of attributes, student's desire to study from M. Phil.
/Ph. D. female faculty member and her teaching methodology should be based on verbal communication and
white board and she also provide lecture notes.
Choice-Based Conjoint Analysis we use six attributes with three levels of each. The attributes and their
levels are qualification (MA/MSc, M.Phil and PhD), Behavior (Normal Behavior, Lenient Behavior and
Friendly Behavior), Teaching Experience (1-3 years, 4-6 years and 7 years & above), Teaching Methodology
(Multimedia, White Board and Verbal & White Board), Lecture Material (Books, Notes and Net & Notes) and
No. of Quizzes (2 Quizzes, 3 Quizzes and 4 Quizzes). From the results of Choice-Based Conjoint Analysis we
conclude that attribute "Qualification" is most important in all service attributes. So Qualification of faculty
member plays important role for selecting a teacher. Students give second importance to behavior of the
teacher with students, third importance to Teaching Methodology, fourth importance to Lecture Material, fifth
importance to No. of quizzes and sixth importance to Teaching Experience.
Students give preference to M. Phil. faculty member with 4-6 years experience of teaching and they want
friendly behavior from their teacher. The teaching methodology should be based on verbal communication and
white board. He/she provide lecture notes and take 2 Quizzes.

Abstract:Mathematics is an abstract subject and symbol occupies an important position. Students find it
difficult to comprehend this subject. There are many failures in mathematics than any other subject.
Considering student teacher ratio and heterogeneous group of students in a normal classroom it is very difficult
for a teacher to reach to all the students. Hence there is a need of supplement along with classroom teaching. Computer assisted instruction plays very important role in this situation. This paper explains the nature and
importance of mathematics and Computer assisted instruction and its importance.

Title | : | Dialogue between Islam and West |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Nazar ul Islam Wani |
: | 10.9790/0837-0215055 |
Abstract:Islam and the West are the two civilisations which have gained importance in the present world
Order. The Islam, because of its strategical locations in the middle-east and presence of conflict zones like
Palestine and Kashmir. The west, because of its relations with the Muslim countries makes both these
civilisations a headline for the global media. The study of the relation between these two civilisations has
shaped the curriculum of International Relations (IR) for the IR students worldwide. The relation between the
two civilisations has also been debated a lot in hundreds of chat rooms, in TV shows, in newspaper columns, in
thousands of websites in Cyberspace, in school debates and workplaces over small issues like face covering and
the Danish cartoons of 2006.<
John Esposito says that the "two communities, Islam and West, has always been in competition and
locked at times in deadly combat, for power, land and souls"1. Across the centuries the fortunes of the two<
religions have risen and fallen in sequences of momentous surges, pauses and counter surges2. This work strives
to explore west in relation with Islam, with an effort to create the room for dialogue between these two
communities. This work also strives to look into these civilisations through the prism of religion.

Title | : | Emotional After-effects of Change: Empirical Evidence from an Indian Organization |
Country | : | Imdia |
Authors | : | Chandranshu Sinha, Ruchi Sinha |
: | 10.9790/0837-0215968 |
Abstract:The study explores employees‟ perception of emotional after-effects of change prevalent in an
organization. Data of 100, at middle level, was collected from business process outsourcing organization, based
in India. The Cronbach‟s alpha of the questionnaire was 0.797 & Pearson correlation was 0.896 (p<0.001).
The factor analysis of "emotional after-effects of organization change‟ led to the extraction of three factors.
These factors were "Ignorance of Discord", "Dichotomy of Visibility" and "Kaleidoscopic Clarity"
respectively. The results indicate that these factors give major cues in understanding the inner turmoil of
employees at psychological level in the Indian context.

Abstract:Just as there are many cultures within the world, so also are there many practices, beliefs, myths,
values, and traditions within each culture. These unique ways of being can often present challenging frames of
reference that may prevent a whole perspective from being attained. This essay examines the contextual
formation of culture and the fundamentals intricate to the search for universal values. An illumination is also
provided upon some of the major and extreme forms of cultural practices that may pose difficulty in achieving
such a goal.

Abstract:This study empirically examine the impact of international trade on economic growth in Nigeria from
1970-2010. Being a time series data, to avoid spurious regression result, the first step was to test for stationary
of the data by using Phillips Peron unit root test. Then Johansen (1988) technique was used to establish if the
non-stationary variable are cointegrated. The result of stationary and normality test reveals that the model is
fairly well specified and could be used for policy analysis. Empirical investigations reveal that three variables
are statistically significant at 5% and these variables are export, foreign direct investment and exchange rate
and they are positively related to real GDP while other variables such as import, inflation rate, openness exert
a negative influence on real GDP. The study demonstrates that increase participation in global trade helps
Nigeria to reap static and dynamic benefit of international trade despite non conformity of the coefficient of the
openness. Both international trade volume and trade structure towards high technology export result in
positively effect on Nigeria economy. We therefore recommend that the government should design appropriate
strategy by diversifying the economy through export promotion, stimulating foreign direct investment and
exchange rate stability in order to boost productivity of Nigeria economy by raising the standard of living of the
citizens.

Abstract:Observations by many many great personalities underscore the penultimate importance, the education
commands in modulating human development which is direct index of national growth. But it has undergone
artificialisation and metamorphosis in adhering to value system even though it enjoys global standard in its nature
& content. Devoid of ethics and value system (Which again is a general phenomenon and not specific to education
system alone), almost all Indians armed with highest standard and quality education adroitly camouflage in
plundering the national exchequer using the gifted abilities produdly as license to do so. Other pernicious and
most debilitating aspect is avoidable and unthinkable emasculation of vernacular education system where majority
of Indian kids have their education as a fundamental right enshrined in constitution. Most from these end as school
dropout, a part with scholarly potential go on at best to qualify for job like Doctors, Engineers other Govt. &
private jobs with some meaning while others simply turn out to be unemployable youth, running from post to pillar
in search of Non-existing jobs, frustrated at miserable failure in interviews simply go on to add to social
hooliganism which ultimately is objective the education to eradicate. In my accompanying article, I will attempt
with comprehensive argument both moral and material decay of education and with free for all no holds bar
democratic views, liberty with its need & greed based utility, it is seriously ponderable to even imagine restoration
of both moral and material standard of education.

Abstract:The study aimed to examine three factors, namely self-factors, parental and teaching factors, which
might affect the learning of the Arabic sounds used in the holy Quran among a group of Malay hearingimpaired
children. This cross-sectional study involved fourteen severely and profoundly hearing-impaired
children with a cochlear implant, aged between 8 to 15 years old, selected from those attending the Universiti
Kebangsaan Malaysia Cochlear Implant Program. The duration of cochlear implant experience was between 5
to 10 years. All subjects used oral communication mode and attended normal mainstream schools. A set of
questionnaires was adapted and subjects were interviewed directly to fill up this questionnaire. In addition, the
children were also asked to read a surah in the holy Quran and these readings were rated by an expert in the
recitation of the Quran. Bivariate Pearson correlation analyses revealed significant positive correlations
between self-factors and teaching factors with the reading scores. However, parents' factors were insignificant.
Stepwise multiple linear regression showed that self-factors were the only significant predicting factor and
contributed about 55.1% of the variance seen in the reading scores suggesting self-factors were most significant
to facilitate the learning of the holy Quran among hearing-impaired children with a cochlear implant.

Abstract: Historical knowledge is a reflection of the past in all its varied manifestations. This past form historical reality, which exists objectively, irrespective of the consciousness reflecting it and the professional historical knowledge separated out from it. Unlike the reality of nature, reality of society has a number of specific features. In studying social reality man cognises himself above all as an ancestral creature with all the specific manifestations of his nature. He presents the greatest interest to himself in that quality and strives for maximum fulness and all-round knowledge of all the ties, relations, regular and chance elements of his social life. Hence, understandably, the diversity of approaches to social phenomena and social development. In that connection it should be cleared that there is no other path of conscious-self-awareness than historical knowing which itself a substructure of historical consciousness. This work will be done through this research paper.
