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.

College of Home Science, CCS HAU, Hisar) India has always been known as the land that portrays cultural and traditional vibrancy through its conventional arts and crafts. Each state of India has its own traditional craft. Due to modernization, a lot of crafts are slowly getting lost in the history. But the love for craft, design and tradition can help the revival of traditional Indian crafts. The present research was aimed to preparescreen printed productsusing innovative designs created from traditional Haryanadurriemotifs. Market potential, acceptability,potential market outlets and tentative price range of developed products were assessed. For this purpose two hundred forty respondents were selected randomly. The average weighted mean score above 2.33 indicated that the developed screen printed cushion covers, sofa back covers and tote bagshave good market potentials. The potential market outlets suggested by the respondents werelocal market (93.70%),handicraft shops (85.70%), Khadi India shops (72.90%),fairs (79.10%), home textile showrooms (70.80%) and gift shops (56.66%).The suggested tentative price for cushion covers was Rs. 1200/-, for sofa back cover Rs. 800/- and for tote bag Rs. 350/-. Significant gain in knowledge of respondents was found after imparting training on development of screen printed products. Pages: 354-359

Pages: 360-370 Bitew Atnaf (Department of Special Needs and Inclusive Education, Bahir Dar University,Ethiopia) This study focuses on investigation of the general education primary schools in-service teachers’ level of knowledge of inclusive pedagogy (IP) and factors that affect this variable. To achieve the above objectives, the researcher used embedded concurrent mixed methods research design: cross-sectional survey and case study methods. Moreover, knowledge of IP questionnaire (KIPQ), document analysis and interview guides were used to collect the data. To collect the quantitative data, 146 participants were selected through stratified simple random sampling from four purposely selected primary schools which were found in South Wollo Zone, Ethiopia. Additionally eight teachers and two principals were selected purposely from these schools for in-depth interview. The data were also collected from a module used in training of in-service teachers for inclusive education. The result of the study indicated that the study participants had marginal level of knowledge of IP (M = 2.44, SD= 0.85)and neutral attitude towards inclusive education (M= 3.14, SD=1.24). This result mainly attributed to the participants’ inadequate training on knowledge of IP and lack of teaching materials and facilities that foster the development of the IP, lack of familiarity with students with special needs and characteristics. The study result implies that these teachers could not meet diverse students’ needs because of their lack of knowledge IP and unwilling to include and use creativity to meet the students’ needs. This in turn may lead them to use traditional teaching method that marginalizes students with special educational needs. Finally, implications for in-service teachers’ training for quality IP and positive attitude are discussed based on the findings of the study. Pages: 360-370

Individuals who are very expressive when not receive supportive environment in and outside the family and when they move out of their family and begin associations in society, may show uncooperative and withdrawn behavior. Supportive peer relations can improve student relations and performance (Thomas2012). Keeping in view the role of personality and psycho-social needs of youth the current study was conducted to study the association of personality traits, need for peer support and psychological counseling among youth.The results revealed that the majority of respondents were ambivert followed by introverts and only few respondents were extravertin all years. Year-wise results indicated that students of 1st and 2nd year and 4th year perceived high need for peer support in comparison to the students of 3rd year. Overall association revealed that irrespective type of personality of the respondents, they expressed high need for peer support in comparison to psychological counseling need. Pages: 381-386

Pages: 387-392 Wondwossen Teka (School of Education &Behavioral Sciences, Woldiya University, Dambi Dollo, Ethiopia) Dawit Asrat Getahun (Collegeof Education &Behavioral Sciences, Bahir Dar University, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia) The main objective of this study is to assess the effect of using social networking site (Facebook) on the user’s psychosocial wellbeing among preparatory school students. Two hundred sixty six (164 male and 102 female) preparatory school students selected using stratified random sampling technique involved in the study. Five standardized tools (Facebook intensity scale, satisfaction with life scale, depression scale, self-esteem scale and social anxiety scale)were used tocollect data. Data analysis using two way-ANOVA revealed that Facebook user participants had low score in psychosocial wellbeing than their counter parts and female Facebook users were more vulnerable for low psychosocial wellbeing than males. These finding suggest that the government should establish standardized safe Internet use and harm minimization educational program, provide appropriate alternatives, like sport, educational and recreation facilities for adolescents, and researchers should conduct by including more psychosocial variables with better sample size and better study area.
