<#LINE#>Hurdles to cross over: being a child of HIV positive widow: a study from Karnataka, India<#LINE#>Sharma @Achla , Raj@Michael Babu <#LINE#>1-5<#LINE#>1.ISCA-IRJSS-2017-048.pdf<#LINE#>Jaipur National University, Jaipur, India@Jaipur National University, Jaipur, India<#LINE#>12/4/2017<#LINE#>18/5/2017<#LINE#>Karnataka is home to nearly 25000 widow-headed households. 65% of these households have no lands, 31% are dependent on agriculture labour and only 20% have a regular income source. The average annual income is Rs. 40000/-. 31% continue to live in a rented households and 80% of the houses are semi-pukka/ mud houses. 60% of these households have poor sanitation facilities. Poor access to HIV treatment, family support, stigma and discrimination, results in poor quality of life and forced migration. There are more than 40,000 children who are in these households. The study is intended to understand the impact on the children. 35 questionnaires were administered with the widows and their children accessing care services, using purposive sampling and the data was analysed using qualitative study methods. Study reveals that the impact on the children is manifold. They are forced to poor nutritional, educational and psycho-social support; they drop out of schools and join trivial jobs. While the single mothers continue to play the dual role, they have put in efforts to ensure sustainable livelihoods.<#LINE#>Reddy Adinarayana P.

High rate of Kids online is one among them. Dealing with such kids is the main challenge in the contemporary society. Parents are struggling to perform the concept of ‘parenting’. The study was done among the school going children of age group 11-18 years. The study was done keeping all the ethical standards of qualitative method and adopted a purposive sampling in the state of Kerala. Some of the main issues that parents come across are unawareness of the technical aspects for better surveillance, extra needs and demands from children, increased aggressiveness, extra trust that they have on children, and etc. This study has carried out to suggest some productive measures for the better parenting too. It is high time to think of a remedial measure to deal with kids online.<#LINE#>Flanagin Andrew J., Metzger Miriam J. and Hartsell Ethan (2010).@Kids and Credibility- An Empirical Examination of Youth, Digital Media, and Information Credibility.@London: MIT Press.@Yes$Clark L.S.

There are wide array of occupational choices available for adolescents to choose from. The career choice that adolescents make is a decision that is influenced not only by their development but also by the context in which they live (Chen, 1997). The present study was intended to investigate career choices of urban adolescents. The sample comprised of 180 adolescents (90 boys and 90 girls) between the age range of 15-18 years selected from various government and private co-ed schools of Udaipur city. Comprehensive Interest Schedule developed by Vohra (1992) was used which assesses the vocational or career interests of adolescents in eight broad career areas viz. influential, venturous, artistic, scientific, analytical, social, nature, clerical. The results of the study revealed that most of the adolescents exhibited low and average level of interest for different vocational fields. Significant differences were found between vocational interests of boys and girls. Adolescent girls were seen to have higher inclination towards artistic, performing, expressive, medical, humanitarian and educational fields whereas boys were found to have greater interests towards defence, sports, technical and computational fields. Parental socioeconomic status had strong influence on adolescent’s vocational interests. Job satisfaction and wages were rated as most important internal and external motivational factor for career choices by both boys and girls. Both boys and girls regarded parents as the most influential figure in career choices.<#LINE#>Skorikov V.B. (2007).@Adolescent career development and adjustment.@In V. B. Skorikov & W.

Although corruption occurs in most countries, but its effects are particularly devastating in low income countries. There are many aspects of corruption and it may vary in magnitude and impact in terms of health outcomes. As corruption in health system is multifaceted and complex in nature all stakeholders in health system – government, payers, providers, professional associations, citizens and international bodies need to be involved. Most importantly, a strong political will should be a precursor for effective implementation of anti-corruption regulations and corruption free health systems.<#LINE#>Mackey T.K and Liang B.A. (2012).@Combating healthcare corruption and fraud with improved global health governance.@BMC International Health Human Rights, 12(1), 23. doi:10.1186/1472-698X 12-13.@Yes$Rose R.

Technology in agriculture has been the hallmark of ancient as well as modern civilizations. Agriculture has been the main occupation of the overwhelming majority of population in Punjab since ancient times and it defined the economy of the rulers. In Colonial Punjab too, agriculture continued to be the mainstay of the government income. Therefore, it became one of the main areas which determined the policies of the British. This was also because the economic transformation of the province depended on the dissection and form of agricultural change. At the outset of British rule in Punjab, the agricultural implements in use were medieval in nature with not much technological changes from the Mughal period and the Sikh rule. The establishment of British rule in Punjab opened the way for the introduction of western Science and Technology in the province. Various technological improvements were introduced in agriculture which lead to new techniques of cultivation, irrigation, reaping and harvesting and as such more efficient equipments and machines. Technological changes in the agricultural implements brought about significant changes in the social and economic set up in the province and their impact was generally positive and long lasting. This paper discusses the technological improvements in agricultural implements under the British regime in Punjab during 1849 to 1947.<#LINE#>Darling M.L.

However, there are various factors that Pakistan is dependent upon the core countries. But the main factors in which Pakistan depends upon the core countries are: inherent enforcement, global marketing, economic growth dependency, cultural, religious and population control policies and as well as academic. So, the researchers used content analysis based upon the existing literature available. Thus, being one of the colonized nations it inherited all its manuals and procedures for its route heading toward the future from the Imperial British, and being mentally so dependent the rulers and planners that they remained absolutely incapable to evolve the way to go ahead in getting mental and psychological freedom from their masters. And the concluding remark that the inherent enforcement, global marketing, economic growth dependency, cultural, religious and population control policies and as well as academically Pakistan is dependent over the rich countries.<#LINE#>Macionis J.

I have picked up two approaches, the environment modernization approach and environment security approach to advance my arguments. The former implies that climate change issues have nothing to do with gender as they involve highly technical aspects deserving techno centric approach. Secondly, the security approach entails that environment concerns should be taken more seriously as they are going to pose greater threat than the terrorism. I argue that security concerns have injected elements of masculinity in the environment politics discourse. A way forward to bring women in climate change discourse lies in her empowerment and delegating space to her traditional knowledge system.<#LINE#>Agarwal B.
