Copyright form
Authors will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher (or grant the Publisher exclusive publication and dissemination rights). This will ensure the widest possible protection and dissemination of information under copyright laws.
Proof reading
The purpose of the proof is to check for typesetting or conversion errors and the completeness and accuracy of the text, tables and figures. Substantial changes in content, e.g., new results, corrected values, title and authorship, are not allowed without the approval of the Editor. After online publication, further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the article.
Ethical Guidelines for the author
• Authors should adhere to publication requirements that submitted work is original and has not been published elsewhere in any language. Work should not be submitted concurrently to more than one publication unless the editors have agreed to co-publication. If articles are co-published this fact should be made clear to readers.
• Copyright material (e.g. tables, figures or extensive quotations) should be reproduced only with appropriate permission and acknowledgement.
• Relevant previous work and publications, both by other researchers and the authors’ own, should be properly acknowledged and referenced.
• Data, text, figures or ideas originated by other researchers should be properly acknowledged and should not be presented as if they were the authors’ own
• All sources of research funding, including direct and indirect financial support, supply of equipment or materials, and other support (such as specialist statistical or writing assistance) should be disclosed.
• Authors should disclose the role of the research funder(s) or sponsor (if any) in the research design, execution, analysis, interpretation and reporting
• The research literature serves as a record not only of what has been discovered but also of who made the discovery. The authorship of research publications should therefore accurately reflect individuals’ contributions to the work and its reporting.
• In cases where major contributors are listed as authors while those who made less substantial, or purely technical, contributions to the research or to the publication are listed in an acknowledgement section, the criteria for authorship and acknowledgement should be agreed at the start of the project.
• Researchers should ensure that only those individuals who meet authorship criteria (i.e. made a substantial contribution to the work) are rewarded with authorship and that deserving authors are not omitted. Institutions and journal editors should encourage practices that prevent guest, gift, and ghost authorship.
• All authors should agree to be listed and should approve the submitted and accepted versions of the publication. Any change to the author list should be approved by all authors including any who have been removed from the list. The corresponding author should act as a point of contact between the editor and the other authors and should keep co-authors informed and involve them in major decisions about the publication (e.g. responding to reviewers’ comments).
• Authors should work with the editor or publisher to correct their work promptly if errors or omissions are discovered after publication.
• Authors should abide by relevant conventions, requirements, and regulations to make materials, reagents, software or datasets available to other researchers who request them. Researchers, institutions, and funders should have clear policies for handling such requests. Authors must also follow relevant journal standards. While proper acknowledgement is expected, researchers should not demand authorship as a condition for sharing materials.
• Authors should follow publishers’ requirements that work is not submitted to more than one publication for consideration at the same time.
• Authors should inform the editor if they withdraw their work from review, or choose not to respond to reviewer comments after receiving a conditional acceptance.
• Authors should respond to reviewers’ comments in a professional and timely manner.
• Appropriate approval, licensing or registration should be obtained before the research begins and details should be provided in the report (e.g. Institutional Review Board, Research Ethics Committee approval, national licensing authorities for the use of animals).
• If requested by editors, authors should supply evidence that reported research received the appropriate approval and was carried out ethically (e.g. copies of approvals, licences, participant consent forms).
• Researchers should not generally publish or share identifiable individual data collected in the course of research without specific consent from the individual (or their representative). Researchers should remember that many scholarly journals are now freely available on the internet, and should therefore be mindful of the risk of causing danger or upset to unintended readers (e.g. research participants or their families who recognise themselves from case studies, descriptions, images or pedigrees).
• The appropriate statistical analyses should be determined at the start of the study and a data analysis plan for the prespecified outcomes should be prepared and followed.
• Researchers should publish all meaningful research results that might contribute to understanding. In particular, there is an ethical responsibility to publish the findings of all clinical trials. The publication of unsuccessful studies or experiments that reject a hypothesis may help prevent others from wasting time and resources on similar projects. If findings from small studies and those that fail to reach statistically significant results can be combined to produce more useful information (e.g. by meta-analysis) then such findings should be published.
• Authors should supply research protocols to journal editors if requested (e.g. for clinical trials) so that reviewers and editors can compare the research report to the protocol to check that it was carried out as planned and that no relevant details have been omitted. Researchers should follow relevant requirements for clinical trial registration and should include the trial registration number in all publications arising from the trial.

Pages: 153-156 Educational aspirations have been identified as a main strategy for widening educational participation in lifelong learning process. The present study explored the effect of gender and home environment on educational aspirations in a random sample of 200 adolescents studying in +1 class in the government and private schools located in Patiala district of Punjab. The data was collected with the help of educational aspirations scale and home environment inventory. The results of the t-test revealed significant gender differences in educational aspirations among adolescents. Further, it was found that educational aspirations among adolescents are negatively and significantly correlated with the negative dimensions of home environment viz. deprivation of privileges, rejection and permissiveness. However, the educational aspirations among adolescents are significantly and positively correlated with positive home environment dimensions of reward and nurturance. Implications of the results are discussed. Pages: 153-156Jagpreet Kaur (Department of Education, Punjabi University, Patiala)Sandeep Kaur (Department of Education, Punjabi University… |

Pages: 148-149 Inclusive education is a worldwide phenomenon widely advocated in the recent past. Teacher characteristics such as attitudes are considered as the most important factor for successful inclusion. The present study investigated the attitude of elementary school teachers towards inclusive education as related to certain characteristics of these teachers. A survey was conducted on a random sample of 195 elementary school teachers teaching in various private and government schools of Patiala district of Punjab. A scale for measuring the attitude towards inclusive education (ATIES) was used. The results of t-test revealed significant differences in attitude of elementary school teachers towards inclusive education with regard to gender, location, type of school, years of teaching experience, educational qualifications, teacher training, having a family member/ friend with disability and level of confidence in teaching students with disability. The implications of the results are discussed. Further, some useful recommendations are provided for teachers, educators and policy makers and implementers in India.

Pages: 144-147 The present study examined the predictive influence of personality factors on organizational effectiveness among middle managers. The sample of the present investigation comprises N=250 middle level managers. The respondents were randomly selected from different private sectors located in Delhi and its NCR (National Capital Region). The sample was confined to only male respondents. The age of the respondents was found to be ranges between 23-64 years. Personality factors were assessed by the NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI) (Costa & McCrae, 1992), which provides measures of five well-established domains of personality: neuroticism, extroversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. Organizational Effectiveness was measured by Organizational Effectiveness Scale which was developed by Srivastava and Banerjee (1997). Both psychological measures are highly reliable and valid. To find out the best predictors of criterion variable and to know on what extent these predictor variables influence criterion variable, step-wise multiple regression analysis was used. The findings of the present endeavor revealed that among all predictor variables (neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness and conscientiousness) four variables namely, conscientiousness, agreeableness, neuroticism and openness to experience were emerged as significant predictors of organizational effectiveness. It was clearly found that agreeableness, neuroticism and openness to experience have significant negative predictive influence on organizational effectiveness whereas, conscientiousness was found to have its positive predictive influence on organizational effectiveness. These findings have far-reaching implications in the current world of industrial development.

Pages: 139-143 The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between job satisfaction, work commitment and perceived organizational support. Further, it was aimed to examine relative effectiveness of different components of work commitment and perceived organizational support in predicting job satisfaction of industrial workers. The study was conducted on a sample of three hundred skilled industrial workers drawn from eight industrial units located in Sonepat, Delhi, and Noida. All the participants were male with a minimum tenure of three years and in the age range of 30 to 52 years. They received the tests measuring occupational and organisational commitment, perceived organizational support, and job satisfaction. The obtained data were treated statically for Pearson's correlation and stepwise multiple regression. Results indicated that job satisfaction correlates highly with affective occupational commitment (r=.53), affective organisational commitment (r=.49), and perceived organizational support (r=.41). Further, job satisfaction correlates .32 and .30 with normative occupational and organisational commitment. Its correlation with continuance component of occupational and organisational commitment is quite low, i.e., .13 and .12, respectively. The stepwise regression analysis located a set of four variables that accounted for 42 percent of variance (R= .65, R2= .42) in the job satisfaction of industrial workers. Among these four variables, affective occupational commitment appeared to be the most potent predictor of job performance with an R2 of .28, followed by affective organisational commitment that contributed an R2 of .12. Two other variables predicting job performance significantly are perceived organizational support and continuance. Pages: 139-143C. R.

Pages: 93-97 Job-insecurity has increased markedly in the developed economies of the world and the effects of it on the individual employee and on organizational outcomes however are controversial. Reviews have suggested that job-insecurity could have both positive as well as negative impact on the performance and hardly there is any literature on citizenship as well as self-regulated behaviour. This research investigated the prevalence of organizational citizenship behaviour and self-regulated behaviour among the software executives at a time of perceived job-insecurity. 73(N) executives responded to the survey, the analysis of data showed that organizational citizenship, self-regulated behaviour was prevalent, and both shared a significant correlation. Age, experience, and self-regulated behavior significantly differentiated organizational citizenship behaviour. The study concludes by highlighting that job-insecurity need not always have a detrimental effect on performance and organizational citizenship behaviour along with self-regulated behaviour could serve as a key to the sustenance in the job.

Pages: 91-92 The present paper review inherent powers of courts in criminal law. Inherent powers are provided in criminal justice system under section 482 of The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, this judicial discretion is imparted to the courts to be provide equality in justice delivery system, in one way or the other. Section 482 CrPC has a very wide scope and it's really important for the courts to use it properly and wisely. The High Court can in the exercise of its inherent jurisdiction expunge remarks made by it or by a lower court in respect of any conduct of a person or official if it be necessary to do so in the interest of justice. The inherent powers are vested only in the High Court and the courts subordinate to the High Court have no inherent powers. The paper highlights various sections and cases discussing inherent powers of High Court. Pages: 91-92Anand Kumar (Singhania University, Singhania, Rajsthan) |
Pages: 89-90 The present paper attempts to review the status of women in Hindu law. In the early Hindu society the status of women was an enviable one. They could avail of the highest learning and there were many seers and philosophers among them. Ghosha, Apala, Lopamudra, Vishwvara, Surya, Indrani, Yami, Romasha - all these names highlight the position and the esteem which Hindu women enjoyed in the Vedic period. At that time there was not a single area where women did not take part or excel their counterpart's - men.Hindu Society has a flexible social structure. The social System of Hindus is based on Vedic and sastric ideology. The wife in Vedic literature occupies the position of 'ardhangini'. It suggests that there was equality between men and women in the Vedic period. But in the later periods after the invasion of foreigners and mixing of the exterior ideas women were given the inferior position.

Pages: 85-88 The present paper reviews logistic management practices used in export and import house. Logistics management affects all major functions or departments within the fi,-m beginning from the raw material deliveries and ending with the deliveries of finished goods. One of Ihe key problems with the logistics management is the issue of investment decisions. It is the process of planning, implementing and controlling the efficient flow and storage of raw materials, in-process inventory, finished goods, services, and related information from point of origin to point of consumption (including inbound, outbound, internal and external movements) for the purpose of conforming to customer requirements.” The paper has highlighted the importance and the functions of logistic management in export and import house. Implications of the logistic management have also been discussed. Pages: 85-88Alok (Department of Management, Singhania University, Singhania) |
Pages: 82-84 Dyslexia is characterized by an unexpected difficulty in reading in children and adults who otherwise possess the intelligence, motivation and schooling considered necessary for accurate and fluent reading. Recent epidemiologic data indicate that like hypertension and obesity, dyslexia fits a dimensional model. In other words, with in the population, reading ability and reading disability occur along a continuum, with reading disability representing the lower tail of a normal distribution of reading ability. Phonological dyslexia is an acquired reading disorder characterized by a severe impairment in reading nonwords, with otherwise normal (or near normal) reading of words (Sartori et al., 1984). The present paper reviews phonological deficit hypothesis in dyslexia. Pages: 82-84Archana (Department of Psychology, Singhania University, Singhania, Rajasthan) |
Pages: 79-81 The work environment is complex constructs in the organizations consisting of different perceptions, attitude, value, and beliefs which play a significant role in moderating the relationship between work stress and job satisfaction. The major objective of study was to study occupational stress with respect to age and job satisfaction. The sample of 120 (N = 120), 60 male and 60 female physicians of the government hospitals, was randomly selected from the government hospitals in Chandigarh. Occupational Stress Index (Srivastava and Singh, 1981) was used to measure the level of job stress and Job Satisfaction Inventory (Singh and Sharma, 1999) was used to measure the attitude of the physicians towards their job (job satisfaction). Three levels of age (24-29, 30-35, & 36-41) and three levels of job satisfaction (Low satisfaction, moderate satisfaction, & high satisfaction) were taken to see if they differ on occupational stress. Two way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied to analyze the data. The findings explored that younger age group had significantly higher level of job stress as compared to the elder age medical professionals. Moreover, highly satisfied participants had revealed significantly lower job stress than low satisfied participants.
