Abstract:The growth of population, especially in the developing countries shows rapid increasing trend due to higher rate of fertility and declining trend of mortality rate. It reaches to an explosive situation if the province or the region experiences high influx of population from the outside. Such a trend of growth is common phenomenon in the countries like India, wherein rural to urban migration leads mushrooming of pocket based population growth. This nucleated effect of population growth later on associated with spill over effect intends to spread of suburbs around the main city. On the other hand, higher rate of fertility in rural areas exerts a pressure on the land and push the population towards urban centre. Hence, this causal relationship between population and land capacity boosting the growth trend and diffuse growth process over the space, however growth rate turns to fall gradually due to effect of space saturation. This growth rate along with its dynamic behaviour exhibits a strong relationship among the population density, land capacity and space characteristics. In India, after achieving Independence population increased rapidly, though growth rate shows a declining trend, especially for those region wherein city population proceeds towards saturation level. This alienation of population growth and growth rate unfolds dynamic behaviour of growth process in terms of space and time. Our present investigation aims to capture this growth dynamics of Howrah district which is densest populated district of most dense populated province (West Bengal) in India.
Key Words:Demographic surface, demographic relief, growth momentum, space saturation

Abstract: About half of the world population is constituted by women, but yet they have not treated equally as men or they have not enjoyed equal rights in the society. Gender differences, customs, traditions, social attitudes etc., are mainly responsible for the inequality between men and women. Women in traditional patriachical society have always been considered as weaker section or inferior section of the society. Today, all the members of the society have an equal right to live, to enjoy equality, to be treated justly and to live in peace. Besides, the Human Rights of women and girl child are an integral part of the universal human rights (1993 World Conference on Human Rights). Thus in this paper, an attempt has been made to conceptualize certain gender specific violation as Human Rights violation in context of North East India. The methodology of this paper is descriptive and required information are collected from different secondary sources like books. research articles, different government documents etc.

Abstract:The 'evolved African' means the African who has been transformed by the whims of modernity and who equally seems, at the same time, to be caught up in the webs of tradition. The evolved African is seen here as an unhealthy conceptual hybrid of the colonial culture and the traditional African culture. In evaluating this new cultural system, one sees various problems arising in African which are necessarily caused by the actions of the evolved African owing to this cultural alienation upon which he lives. Among these problems are environmental problems which, today, impacts negatively on the African existence. These environmental problems leave the African in a continuous state of underdevelopment since there seems to be no ready solution to these problems. This work focuses on a supposed cause of the African environmental problem – cultural alienation while attempting to showcase the role of religion in solving these environmental problems. The thesis here is that the African in his race towards modernism, occasioned by his colonial mind, becomes a victim of environmental problems which have damaging effects on his development. These problems may be managed through religious principles.
Key Words: Religion –– Environment – Management – Evolved-African

Abstract:Family Caregivers provide care to their dear ones with a variety of controllable and uncontrollable conditions including advanced age, dementia, and heart problems. These experiences have a negative impact in their psychological, behavioral and physiological well being in their day to day life. Caregivers are often faced with continuous stressful events which may have direct consequences in their health and day to day life. Physicians and the interdisciplinary team who come across with such individuals have the responsibility to provide necessary care and intervention. In this report, the experience of a 56 year old woman who is the sole care giver for her son is explicated .The Son was diagnosed to have dilated cardiomyopathy, a condition in which the heart becomes weakened and enlarged. As a result, the heart cannot pump enough blood to the rest of the body and was advised to undergo heart transplantation. During his intense and unpredictable course, the caregiver's burden is complex and complicated by multiple competing priorities. This report illustrates care giver's health effects and the importance of identifying caregivers at risk of negative health outcomes and to intervene to alleviate the psychological distress associated with the care giving experience.
Key Words: Caregivers, Cardiac patients and health effects

Abstract: Advances in weapon systems and in electronics have added whole new dimensions to warfare by increasing the range, speed, accuracy and lethality of weapons whereby no region of a nation is secure from an aggressor's direct attack. This leads us to a situation where the need to be able to command and control the resources available to successfully fight the aggressor assumes greater importance. To achieve this purpose it is necessary to obtain intelligence that is, to gather information about the enemy, process it in real time for decision making and communicate them through a robust and effective communication network.Note that c31 is a concept that responds to the user and may do as much or as little as needed. The subject of design 1s thus very interesting so it is proposed to review the impact of three new techniques aspects i.e., quantification of information availability in terms of combat effectiveness, data fusion and use of Al techniques which will play very important part in enhancing the effectiveness of future c31 systems.
