WHY WE NEED TO RE-ENGINEER OUR HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS?

At the beginning of India’s independence in 1947, there were 20 universities and 500 colleges while student enrolment at the tertiary level of education was 0.1 million. After independence the growth has been quite impressive .This has increased to 611 universities and university-level Institutions and 31,324 colleges as on August 2011.

A STUDY OF AIDS AWARENESS OF STUDENTS OF SECONDARY SCHOOL OF MUNDRA CITY

This Study is based on the survey research for knowing awareness of students regarding Contagious disease AIDS. Researcher has attempted to check the effect of Gender, Cast and Area of location of secondary school students on Consciousness Standard of Students about AIDS Disease.

TEACHING THROUGH SYNECTICS: PAVING WAY TO INNOVATIVE PRACTICES

William J. J. Gordon and his associates designed Synectics, an interesting approach to the development of creativity. Analogies are the chief element of Synectics. In Synectics exercises students ‘play’ with analogies until they relax and begin to enjoy making more and more metaphoric comparisons. Then they use analogies to attack problems or ideas. It is designed to lead students into slightly illogical world to give us the opportunity to invent new ways of seeing things, expressing ourselves and approaching problems. There are two strategies based on Synectics procedure.

VOLTAMMETRIC STUDY OF PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE USING GLASSY CARBON ELECTRODE

The oxidative behaviour of pyridoxine hydrochloride was studied at a glassy carbon electrode in 0.06 M Na2HPO4 – NaH2PO4 buffer using cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV). The oxidation process was shown to be irreversible over the entire pH range studied (5.0 - 9.0). The influence of the operational parameters like scan rate, pulse amplitude, and pulse period for the analytical signal was investigated.

STUDIES THE EFFECT OF TIG WELDING PARAMETERS ON IMPACT STRENGTH OF 5083 ALUMINUM ALLOY

Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding is a high quality welding process used to weld the thin metals and their alloy. 5083 Aluminium alloys play an important role in engineering and metallurgy field because of excellent corrosion properties, ease of fabrication and high specific strength with best combination of toughness and formability. TIG welding technique is one of the precise and fastest processes used in aerospace, ship and marine industries. TIG welding process is used to perform experiment and analyze the recorded data in the form of tables and figures.

COLLECTIVE ANIMAL BEHAVIOR ALGORITHM FOR SOLVING OPTIMAL REACTIVE POWER DISPATCH PROBLEM

This paper presents a collective animal behavior (CAB) algorithm for solving the multi-objective reactive power dispatch problem in power system. Modal analysis of the system is used for static voltage stability assessment. Loss minimization and maximization of voltage stability margin are taken as the objectives. Generator terminal voltages, reactive power generation of the capacitor banks and tap changing transformer setting are taken as the optimization variables A meta heuristic algorithm for global optimization called the collective animal behavior (CAB) is introduced.

JOB SATISFACTION OF TEACHER EDUCATORS AT THE D.T.ED. LEVEL : ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH ORGANISATIONAL HEALTH

The present study is an attempt to find out whether the job satisfaction of  teacher educators is related to the organizational health as it is expected that a teacher educator who is satisfied in his job will have better teacher performance.  For this purpose, organizational health is conceptualised as having seven dimensions, namely, institutional integrity, principal influence, consideration, initiating structure, resource support, morale and academic emphasis. The sample was selected from 14 D.T.Ed colleges situated in Greater Mumbai including 90 teacher educators.

EFFECTS OF % OF POLYPROPYLENE FIBER AND % OF ACRYLIC ON COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF POLYMER MODIFIED MORTAR

The concept of utililizing polymer modified mortar is well known in repair industry, which includes various % of styrene butadiene rubber, acrylic and other materials. The concern should not be solely with repair materials but with the uses to which they are being to put and  lack of attention  during application, Material, it, does not perform; the end product made from a material, the repair work performs less durable.

A JOURNEY TOWARDS IMPLEMENTING DIRECTIVE PRINCIPLES OF STATE POLICY AN ANALYSIS OF LANDMARK CASES

Directive Principles are essential in the governance of the country and the state must and is bound to take positive actions in the implementation of the same in order to secure the concept of “Welfare State” as laid down by the founding fathers of the Constitution. These principles as rightly pointed out by Amartya Sen can be coined as “social rights” which are very indispensable to achieve the socio economic needs of the society. Hence, such principles should and must be implemented under every circumstance and the obligation to secure the same lies on the State.

DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, STRESS AND SELF ESTEEM AMONG PHYSIOTHERAPY STUDENTS AND THE RELATIONSHIP TO ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE- A CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to improve understanding of the psychological variables level on  recent performance of physiotherapy students. METHOD: The self reported measures Rosenberg self esteem scale and depression, anxiety and stress scale were used.  Data Analysis was done using SPSS v. 15. RESULT: A moderate relationship was observed between the scores of anxiety and depression, anxiety and stress(r=.45, r=.55, p<.05) of participants.
