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: 611-613 The Industrial revolution brought about dramatic changes in society. It has impacted humans socially and economically. The aim of the study was to find co-relation between occupational stress and family environment of Industrial workers. Occupational stress is known as stress at work. It occurs when there is discrepancy between the demands of the work and that of individuals. It is a serious work hazard which has the power to bring crisis on industrial workers. There may be various reasons for occupational stress like personality, general outlook on life, Problem solving abilities, and social and family support system, etc. Hence the present study tries to find out the relationship between occupational stress and family environment of industrial workers. For this study the 120 industrial workers working at four different industries in Ahmednagar city were taken as sample with age 25 to 45 yrs. The relationship between occupational stress and family environment was derived using occupational stress index and family environment scale. The data was analysed using SPSS 18 to study the correlations (Pearson product-moment correlations). The result reveals that there is significant correlation between occupational stress and dimensions of family environment. Pages: 611-613Khedkar Yogita M. and Kulange Shrikant P.

Pages: 605-610 The study was conducted in purposively selected Hisar, Rohtak and Jhajjar districts of Haryana state with selected 61, 47 and 33 numbers of PWPS adopted farmers from each district, respectively and an equal number of non beneficiaries adjoining to the beneficiaries' farm were also selected. In this way a total number of 282 respondents i.e. 141 beneficiaries and 141 non-beneficiaries were included in the sample for the study. Due to adoption of PWPS at farmers' field, during the Rabi season the maximum decrease in area (4.41 %) was observed in wheat crop. The area under barseem, mustard and barley was decreased to 3.31, 2.48 and 0.67 per cent, respectively. Whereas, the area under vegetables (9.06 %) and horticulture (1.82 %) was increased. The same trend were also observed during the Kharif season as the area under traditional crop namely cotton, rice and bajra was decreased up to 9.38, 1.53 and 1.26 per cent, respectively. However, the area under vegetable (6.63 %), horticulture (2.66 %), sugar cane (1.91 %) and jawar (0.97 %) was increased due to adoption of PWPS.

Pages: 598-601 Agriculture is the principal source of food and livelihood in India. “Livelihood” connotes the means, activities, entitlements and assets by which people make a living, attempt to meet their various consumption and economic necessities, cope with uncertainties and respond to new opportunities The study was conducted in two districts of Rohtak division namely Sonipat and Karnal by random selection and by selecting one block from each selected district and two villages from each of the selected block at random. From the selected four villages a sample of 300 respondents i.e. 75 small and marginal farm families from each village was drawn at random to assess status of shelter/water and sanitation and health security of farm families. Regarding shelter/water and sanitation security, majority (64.0%) of farm families had shelter for livestock outside home and 84.0 per cent used dung as a cooking fuel. About health security, majority (58.0%) of families faced illness once or twice in a week and 56.3 per cent families could afford professional treatment with some difficulty.

Pages: 594-597 The Indian banking sector is severely suffering with the problem of growing Non Performing Assets (NPAs) of banks. This unwanted growth has a direct impact on the profitability and liquidity of banks; it also poses threat on quality of assets and survival of banks. The economic growth scenario of the country needs a sound and resilient banking industry to support it. In this regard the present paper is an attempt to examine the health of banking industry with reference to the position of Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) and ability of banks to absorb various shocks. The paper provides an insight on the position of Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) of the top 5 public sector banks and top 3 private sector banks. Stress test sensitivity analysis has been used to analyze the CAR position of the banks considered for the study. A stress test is an analysis conducted under unfavorable economic scenarios which is designed to determine whether a bank has enough capital to withstand the impact of adverse developments. These tests are meant to detect weak spots in the banking system at an early stage, so that preventive action can be taken by the banks and regulators. Under the stress test sensitivity analysis of capital adequacy ratio is to be studied by imparting shocks to the NPA levels.

Pages: 590-593 Floor coverings have been co-existents with civilization. The domestication of annuals, shearing wool and then the utilization of spinning and weaving process to obtain thread and woven end products like rugs, sheets, pile carpets and several rough and sophisticated forms of druggist mats etc began to be created based on design and utilization. Elaborate design begun to surface in different parts of the world. In mother India the 'panja dari' weaving forms a cultural essentially and yet in facing a several decline as even local favour has dwindled over the past 2-3 decades. Several reasons are being for the showdown of the projected process right from the lowered raw material production of suitable threads to the weaving all purpose dari with complicated designs. The utilization of these daris has for year's dictated their usage. These have been culturally ordained uses of the 'panja' dari.

Pages: 586-589 Socio-economic empowerment has been understood to be the mainstay of development initiatives in India and the developing world. The role of women tends to get underplayed especially in terms of social capital. The work participation of women tends to remain latent and unacknowledged in terms of adequate remuneration. Elements of caste, class and religious grouping tend to further aggravate the position of the women on the socio-economic ladder. Many of the programmes and initiatives taken up by the government and the corporate sector have suffered setbacks due to the invisibility of the women in the social capital of the region. Not only are the women not acknowledged as partners in economic progress they are waylaid on the road to development of women's participation in the district's economy which are considered and which are ignored in the gradation of women's inputs and contribution on a regular established basis.

Pages: 583-585 The apparel industry in India has experienced a tremendous upward surge in exports as well as the domestic market. These trends have been the result of newer markers in the industrial manufacturing processes. Market watchers have analysed these changed circumstances and have come up with a number of observations. These signs indicate that there is scope for improving manifold the current status of Indian based apparel products in the world market. The researcher has closely studied the production process of units in northern India and found the singular gatekeeper to the attainment of optimum sales to be located within the manufacturing process undertaken. The world apparel markets have progressed to the idyll of zero defects. India and more particularly, northern Indian apparel manufacturers have been riding high on the benefits of comparatively cheaper labour and raw material availability. However, the past decade has seen an overwhelming increase in the number of rejections. Several manufactures have been severely hit as they have had to suffer losses because of undue investments made on speculative orders. The researcher has attempted to examine the plight of the apparel units in the perspective of the changed world scenario in apparel purchases. Piles of rejected products have driven manufacturing units to revisit and reconsider their policies, approach and process programmes. This paper looks at the various lacunae and issues that have been afflicting the Indian apparel industry. The reasons, the remedies and the future approach have been examined.

Pages: 580-582 Insomnia is a condition wherein a person has problems regarding his/her patterns of sleep. Falling asleep, being unable to remain asleep are examples of disrupted sleep patterns. Some insomniacs have trouble falling asleep and remaining asleep. The subject must also suffer some degree of impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of daytime functioning such as “tiredness, lack of energy, difficulty concentrating, and irritability”. In this study we have assessed the altered state i.e. sleepiness in real- life situations among insomniacs. For this we took a sample of 200 people, 100 control group and 100 insomniacs and applied Epworth Sleepiness Scale to assess sleepiness. The study reveals that Daytime Sleepiness among insomniacs was more prominent. Our findings suggest that the assessment and treatment of insomnia-related complaints should be included in any overall plan of care designed to optimize sleepiness as well as other important clinical outcomes.
