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: 242-244 Kuldeep Kumar Chaudhary and Vikas Madhukar (Department of Management, Amity University, Gurgaon, Haryana) In today's world of growing competition where there are numerous brands selling the same products, consumers have an abundant number of choices and many diverse factors influence their buying behavior. With the ever-increasing penetration of internet and social media, the purchasing behavior of Indian consumers has changed dramatically. Urbanization is taking place in India at a dramatic pace and is influencing the life style and buying behavior of the consumers. Consumer behavior is complex and very often not considered rational. The recent trends which are found in the Indian market are celebrity influence, online shopping, freebies and popularity of eco-friendly products. The present study is to analyze the various influencing factors which make the consumer's intent into purchase decision. Pages: 242-244

Pages: 237-241 Sradhanjali Mishra (PG Department of Personnel Management and Industrial Relation, Utkal University, Bhubaneshwar, Odisha) Crisis communication is an integral aspect of public relations that can have either positive or negative repercussions based upon the action that an organization responds. The manner in which an organization handles a crisis determines financial implications that may ensue, public perception and reputation of the organization, as well as the overall success or failure of the organization in the future. This article attempts to summarize the strongest evidence that has emerged from crisis communication research study made on National Aluminium Company Limited. A crisis is the ultimate unplanned activity and the ultimate test for managers. In a time of crisis, conventional management practices are inadequate and ways of responding usually insufficient. No country, company or organization is immune to crisis. Being able to effectively respond in the event of a crisis is relevant to an organizations survival. Meticulously planned crisis communication strategies not only enable organizations to recover from the aftermath of a shock wave but also benefit from the analysis of the dangers and draw consequences for future actions. Corporations with efficient crisis communication teams are able to effectively communicate and respond in the event of a crisis. The article provides guidance for crisis communicators by pointing out what researchers have found to be the most effective crisis communication practices that may influence an organization's crisis communication response. What makes this story so compelling is the media aspect of both the crisis itself and the strategy for managing the crisis. Using a case study approach, this paper assesses Nalco's decision to integrate the medium that sparked the crisis into the strategies to manage the situation, and it questions the efficacy of best practices and principles of crisis management. However, crisis management and communication experts' opinions differed on whether Nalco's crisis communication was effective or ineffective. This paper aims to assess Nalco's crisis communication and mainly to point out possible failures through a content analysis of secondary data collected from various sources (newspapers, magazines, annual reports and blogs).

Pages: 229-232 Narender Kumar (Assistant Librarian, Guru Jambheshwar University of Science & Technology, Hisar, Haryana) This paper aims to address the issues and challenges which prevail during the preservation of e-resources which are available through online or vendors list. The transition from print to electronic is meant great changes for library system. Users are accessing information in an unimagined ways. With these electronic contents, the orientation of the libraries got changed and users are being enjoyed the speed of delivery of contents. The e-resources are strengthening the libraries in rapidly technological changing environment. Personal observations and experience were used to develop the concept i.e. the preservation of e-resources is really the challenge with libraries in the twenty first century. The inferential observations of this paper is that the perpetual access of the e-resources, journals and books may lead to provide the solution of drastic cut in the allocation of budget. The perpetual access of any type of e-resource leads to become the permanent asset of the concerned library and end users can enjoy the accessibility and stakeholders will also feel strengthen. For under-budgeted-developed libraries, the perpetual access is just like a boon. Every library, stakeholder and information and resource centre has to take the initiative to sign an agreement or license for the perpetual access whether the contents are accessed for time being or at the time of visit of accreditation team. The paper proposes that e-resources are responsible to change the concept of libraries as the electronic contents have been reached at the threshold of the end user. However, to make these electronic resources available and accessible forever, the libraries and information & resource centres will have to do copious efforts and to maintain the proper IT infrastructure. Even, Government of India has to take the responsibility of funding so that more and more e-contents may be preserved for forever. Pages: 229-232

Pages: 225-228 Anwaar Mohyuddin and Sheikh Naqeebullah (Department of Anthropology, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan) In this research paper entitled “social dynamics and changing educational systems”an attempt has been made to analyze modern educational systems and its impact on the social structures. Society perceived stagnant in the being system without any change, is considered to be defunct society. Education is the sole determinant of the pace of “social change” the immediate factor. “Industrial Revolution”, brought by “Education” not only carried remarkable changes, but eventuated class stratifications, the “Bourgeoisie” and “Proletarians”. China prudently resorted to embed the education, firmly in the state system, thereby burgeoned swiftly and set herself as an epitome for all the underdeveloped and developing countries. Religious education does prove itself an instrumental part in bringing about changes, Pakistan was an outcome of the religious-cum-political leaders. The partition scheme was maneuvered by the political leaders, but consummated by the religious abbots, when the religion-syndrome was infused into Muslims and Hindus. The data presented in this paper were collected through qualitative anthropological technique. Data were collected in the vicinities of Islamabad. Pages: 225-228

Pages: 222-224 Anubhuti Sharma (Consultant Counseling Psychologist, Certified Reiki Practitioner and Energy Healer, Chandigarh ) Rates of depression in college students are at an all time high. Millions of young adults are experiencing symptoms that are making daily routines problematic. These symptoms may include, but are not limited to, drowsiness, loss of appetite, sense of hopelessness, apathy, and irritability. Long periods of suffering through such feelings are non-conducive to dealing with the demands of college life. The causes of depression are as unique as the individual that experiences the disorder. For many students, however, depression can be attributed to stressors such as academic pressure, inadequate social adaptation, inadequate sleep, and the stress of the overall transition to college life. Reports show an inequality of depressive symptoms experienced by male and female students for unknown reasons, but assumptions have been made. Students who suffer from depression risk serious health problems if positive steps are not made to help with their symptoms. It is not uncommon for the traditional student age group to resort to substance abuse and other risky behaviors to escape depressive symptoms. In many cases students experience eating disorders, and others choose suicide. With an increasing demand for positive coping mechanisms, universities have made an effort to offer free psychological services to students on their campuses. Although attempts have been made, students are underutilizing the resources. Students and universities must work together to provide an effective way to reduce depression in college students.

Pages: 219-221 Nisha Chandel (Swami Vivekanand P. G. College of Education, Tarkwari, Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh) This paper tries to focus on the need of improvement of the quality and relevance of value education at different levels of education. With the alarming deterioration of values among the students, the need of the hour is to introduce significant changes in the curriculum at various levels in order to boost values among the students at the school level. The need of the hour is systematic and thorough high quality research work to inculcate these values among the present and future generations. Value education needs to be made more systematic and more practical. Teaching the students only the contents, will not help. There is need of sincere efforts on the part of teachers, students, parents and society as well. Formal as well as non-formal education both are required to be involved. Pages: 219-221

Pages: 211-214 Sudipta Mandal (Department of Political Science, Silda Chandrasekhar College, Silda, Paschim Medinipore, West Bengal) Learning is an active process that involves both students and teachers. Learning for a long time was associated with acquisition and retention of information. But nowadays learning encompasses a wide range of things like development of skills, attitudes, ideals, moral values and positive discipline. Learning also means providing students with an environment where they can develop their mental capability that could further lead to growth of their insight. Learning thereby is an inclusive idea that facilitates the development of a child to be independent, competent, ethical and disciplined in life. Now, the process of learning to be effective depends on the role of teachers as well as the environment in which teaching is conducted. Teaching therefore requires inclusion of many factors starting with guidance of parents, environment at home, role of teachers, administration of schools, classroom environment and peer group pressure. So in this study the purpose is to analyse all the components associated with teaching and learning process and arriving at a conclusion that teachers play a prime role in mental development that leads to growth of insight within a child. This study also focuses on analysing the teaching-learning process of school children. Pages: 211-214

Pages: 202-204 Shiv Kumar (Department of Psychology, Chaudhary Ranbir Singh University, Jind, Haryana) School reform has always focused on student achievement. Many reform efforts failed, however, to make the link between achievement and behaviour. In some instances resources were directed to instruction with very little emphasis on support systems for students who were having behavioural problems. The study assess the knowledge of Primary school teachers regarding Selected Common Behavioural Problems of Children, evaluate the effectiveness of Structure Teaching Programme on Selected Common Behavioural Problems of Children and find out the difference between pre test and post test score. This is a pre-test post-test experimental design and evaluative research. The study was conducted on 80 primary school teachers conveniently selected from ten primary schools. The pre test results of the study shows that primary school teachers are having little knowledge regarding common behavioural problems of students. The t-test value between pre test and post test shows the significance difference.This study concluded that structure teaching program is effective tools to improve the knowledge of primary school teachers regarding Behavioural Problems of Children.
