Museums acquire objects and create collections because the objects convey a significant message or messages. These may be variously historical, religious, economic, technological, and so on. When an object is moved from its place of origin and its context, its significance is reduced and becomes more reliant on the documentation linked to it. Furthermore, when an object arrives at a museum, it begins a “new life”: it will be studied, positioned, exhibited, restored, loaned and transferred, and will be placed alongside many other objects. It will thus be necessary to identify it in a unique way, and to facilitate the management of every aspect of this new life. The value of a collection (whether it be for purposes of research, education or interpretation), its safety and its accessibility therefore depend to a large extent on the quality of the documentation associated with it.

Athletes participating in sports experience different levels of stress from competitive sports. For most young athletes (generally 13 to 24 years old, i.e., high-school and college age group) sport participation is reported to be no more stressful than many other activities of daily student or work life in general where competition is involved and performance is measured. Some level of sport related performance anxiety is considered to be normal and healthy; however, extreme anxiety in athletes can be detrimental in these performance situations. A number of factors may contribute to the development, severity, and persistence of performance anxiety related to sport participation. The current study examined anxiety and adjustment among individual and team goal players across their level of performance.

FIR is an important report and if duly recorded provides a valuable evidence. it is a valuable piece of evidence in any criminal trial either for corroborating evidence or for contradicting witnesses, FIR can be used to corroborate the Informant under S. 157 of Indian Evidence Act, 1872, or contradict the witness under S. 145 of the same Act if the informant is called as a witness in the trial. Therefore, it becomes necessary that such report be recorded in all circumstances especially where the person has come to the police station to lodge an FIR against a particular crime. FIR considered as Substantial Evidence in certain cases which the paper will discuss and in other circumstances FIR can be used as non confessional in nature for evidentiary purposes.

Affective dysregulation is a term used to describe severe and persistent inability to control one's mood states. Children with affective dysregulation have an impaired ability to filter and process the sensory information presented to them. Gender is an important variable that influences ones affective dysregulation, depression and hopelessness but remains an under researched topic. The present study intends to emphasize the role of gender differences on affective dysregulation, depression and hopelessness among adolescents. The sample of the study consisted of 100 undergraduate students (50 male and 50 females) from private colleges of Chandigarh. Affective Dysregulation Inventory, Zung Self-Rating Depression Inventory and Beck Hopelessness Scale were administered. The results indicate that significant gender differences on affective dysregulation were found, while depression and hopelessness were not found to have any significant impact on gender among adolescents.

From a hospital in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, 32 patients with renal failure, who had just started dialysis, were selected by Purposive Sampling method. There were 20 male and 12 female in the age range of 28-55 years. The entire sample was assessed using Case Study Schedule and BDI (Beck, 1971). A brief tailor-made modular psychological intervention was administered on the entire sample individually for 8 sessions, 4 sessions before dialysis and 4 sessions after dialysis. They were re-assessed using the same tools soon after 8 sessions of psychological intervention (Assessment II). The subjects practiced the psychological intervention using Relaxation Therapy CD. After 4 months, a follow up assessment, Assessment III was done using the same tools with Case Study Re-assessment Schedule. Only 30 subjects were available for Assessment III as one had passed away and one was not available after transplantation. Though the subjects had 'Moderate to Severe' depression in all the 3 assessments, the differences in mean BDI scores of the subjects (Assessment I=28.26, Assessment II=23.62 and Assessment III=20.56) were statistically significant, indicating a significant reduction in depression.

The effective position of any organization depends on employees who exhibit spontaneous behaviours that are beyond formal job description, but which are essential for organizational effectiveness. Such extra role behaviors are called as organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB). It is considered as an important factor influencing the organizational success. There is also ample literature regarding the potential dysfunctional consequences of OCB. Most measures used for measuring OCB have been developed in a Western cultural context, and a very few OCB scales are developed in the context of educational institutions. The aim of the present study is to validate the scale which was used to measure OCB in educational institutions in foreign culture and also to draw suitable OCB scale for educational institutions in India. The research design involves assessing the factor structure, reliability, and validity of the measure of OCB scale when used in Indian engineering institutions. A survey design was used to collect the required information. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted to assess the factor structure of OCB. 655 full-time teachers working in 41 engineering colleges located in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India participated in the study. An acceptable three-factor measurement model was derived. It is expected that the scale will serve as a useful tool for researchers and practitioners for measuring teachers' OCB in Indian engineering institution settings.

The small scale industry today constitutes a very important segment of Indian economy. The development of this sector came about primarily due to the vision of late prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru who sought to develop core industry and have a supporting sector in the form of small scale enterprises. Small scale industry has emerged as a dynamic and vibrant sector of the economy. Today, it accounts for nearly 35% of the gross value of output in the manufacturing sector and 45% of the total exports from the country. In term, of value added in the manufacturing sector, the sector's contribution to employment is next only to agriculture in India. Industrialization is the only answer to this present state of disrupted economy. The problem is of the approach which should be direct, utilitarian and pragmatic. Such industries do not require huge capital and hence suitable for a country like India. The small scale industries have a talent of „dispersal.‟ They can be accessible to the remote rural areas of the country and do not lead to regional imbalances and concentration of industries at one place, which is responsible for many economic resources such as entrepreneurship and capital. The planners and the economists in India took recourse to small scale industry because most of these industries existed in the traditional form, which symbolize our heritage and past glory. These still serve as the back bone of our economy, which is mostly rural. It is with this view that an assessment of growth, development and working of small scale industries in the specific region is attempted in this research study. However, before entering into an analytical study of this project, it is necessary to examine the concept of Small scale industry as it has come to be, today, in India.

The motive of the present study was to measure the level of job involvement of college teachers. A total number 240 college teachers working in different colleges of Kolhan were included. Purposive sample was used for sample selection. Factorial design 2x2x2 was used in this study. The sample was based on two genders (Male & Female), two nature of college viz; (Constituent & Affiliated) and two designations (Reader & Lecturers) Job involvement scale developed by A.P. Singh (1984) was administered among the sample to access the job involvement. ANOVA was applied to calculate the data. The result revealed that both gender, both designation & both nature of management differ significantly on their level of job involvement. Furthermore the interaction effect is also discussed.
