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: 520-523 Rajneesh Ahlawat (Department of Bus. Admn., Chaudhary Devi Lal University, Sirsa) The cable television industry in India is poised for one of its most significant development in the last decade ─ a transformation to the Digital Addressable System (DAS) for television distribution. Cable operators in a DAS regime would be legally bound to transmit only digital signals so that each user in the network would be uniquely identifiable to the service provider. Digital television is expected to provide the consumer access to a higher number of TV channels, customized tariffs, availability of broadband, other value-added-services and enhanced user experience through better viewing quality and consumer service. TRP figures provided by TAM is considered as the holy Bible for media planners, advertisers and television channels. Pages: 520-523

Pages: 515-517 Neelam Rathee (Department of Psychology, P. G. Govt. College for Girls, Chandigarh) The economic empowerment of women is being regarded these days as a sine qua non of progress for a country; hence the issue of economic empowerment of women is of paramount importance. In India, the work participation rate of women is less than half that of men. Despite efforts made towards economic empowerment of women, majority of the active female population continues to be confined to micro, small-scale enterprises and the informal sector. This paper discusses the ways to attain economic empowerment for the women and emphasizes on the need to bring attitudinal changes in the society. In the end the paper emphasizes that economic empowerment of the women will result into a chain of developmental process. Pages: 515-517

Pages: 510-514 Neha (HR Executive, Integreon Managed Solutions Pvt. Ltd.) India has the world's youngest work force with a median age way below that of China and OECD countries. Half the population of India was younger than 25 in 2010. It will change to half the population being under 28 in 2030, making India a very young country for the next 20 years. Employability of graduates coming out of our educational system is becoming a matter of great concern with numerous studies observing only 25% of the general graduates across all streams having employable skills. National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) has been given an onerous responsibility of skilling 150 million learners across 20 high-growth sectors, which would be impossible without the spread of Technical and Vocational education. Technical and Vocational education in a broad sense lay down the foundation for innovation and know-how, resulting in a lower unemployment rate and subsequently boosting India's economic growth in the 21st century.

Pages: 500-506 Bharat Singh and Anita Moral (Department of Psychology, Sri Varshney (PG) College, Aligarh, UP) Child abuse is a state in which a child (below the age of 18 years) is maltreated physically, emotionally, sexually and economically. These various types of child abuse lead a child in many long term traumatic stages. Children may face trauma that threatens their integrity, safety, level of confidence, self-esteem, social life and so forth. The effects of trauma are broad, encompassing fear, anger, sadness and humiliation. It is a globally prevalent phenomenon. The women and child development ministry-survey revealed that 53.22% of children reported having faced one or more forms of sexual abuse. It was also found that over 50% children were subjected to one or the other form of physical abuse and every second child reported of facing emotional abuse. In 83% of the cases parents were the abusers. In a number of joint studies conducted by UNICEF and the Ministry of Labour, 75% of the children reported treatment by staff as bad and 91.7% reported provisions of necessities as bad. In Mumbai 75.4 % reported bad treatment by staff and 53.2 reported that provisions were poor. One million children are trafficked into prostitution, in Asia every year; child abuse affects children in a number of ways, such as higher rates of psychiatric and psychological disorders as PTSD, depression, suicidal tendency, antisocial behaviour and so forth. Though there are certain acts as 'National Policy on Children, 1974'; 'Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000 and recently government passed 'The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012', but due to lack of awareness and proper implementation in these acts, cases of child abuse are increasing day by day. So the gravity of the situation demands that the issue of child abuse be placed on the national agenda. Pages: 500-506

Pages: 496-499 Neeru Bala (Department of Soc, GSSS Chakkan, Sirsa, Haryana) Nivedita Hooda (Department of Education, CDLU, Sirsa ) Darpan Saluja (Jr. Programmer, GJU, Hisar) In recent years, inclusive education has risen to prominence, which changed the traditional roles of teachers, from using a “talk and chalk” method, to being more pupil-centred. The role of teachers in mainstream schools has become more varied and challenging. Research has shown that casual factors for stress include role overload, poor learner behaviour, lack of resources the number of individuals for whom teachers are responsible, diversity in individuals with whom they have to work, resistance and lack of motivation of co-workers During study in sirsa city of Haryanaa sample of 200 primary and secondary school teachers of government and private school was taken by random sampling technique It was found that there is no significant difference in the occupational stress of primary and secondary school teachers in relation to type of school (Government and Private).

Pages: 490-492 Sumeet Manerikar (Research Centre at We School, Mumbai) Rita Rangnekar (Faculty Member at IBS Business School, Mumbai) The objective of this study is to explore the most preferred teaching style of management educators and management students and also to see if there is a match between the preferences of teachers and students. The three teaching styles considered in this study are the challenger, the compiler and the counsellor. A questionnaire covering these three styles was developed. The questionnaire was administered to 74 students and 31 Faculty Members of a post graduate programme in management studies. Data collected was analysed quantitatively and qualitatively. Findings show that both teachers and students of management education prefer the challenger style followed by compiler style and then counsellor style. The study emphasizes the need to match and adapt styles preferred by both students and teachers. The study emphasizes the need for rigorous research so that the challenger style can be enhanced.

Pages: 485-489 Supriya Dhankhar and Sanjeet Kumari (Commerce Students, Rohtak, Haryana) The Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH), the central proposition of finance for the last thirty five years rests on assumption of rationality. But it has been proved that people are ruled as much by emotion as by logic and selfishness. As behavioral finance suggests, everyone makes the best of a bad situation and the situation in the stock market has never been ideal for anyone. The study is based on the primary data to study investor behavior for rationality in financial decision making. In order to test the investor rationality, the factor analysis is used on the data collected through questionnaire filled by the investor for extracting the different behavior characteristics of investors. Some investors were given the questionnaire to fill out in personal and the data from some investors were collected through the e-mail. A total of 100 subjects were included in the survey selected randomly from different places as Rohtak, Sonepat and Jhajjar according to convenient approach. The survey instrument included 44 questions on the devise aspects of investor rationality for financial decision making. After collected the data through a five point scaled questionnaire, the scoring is done on the scale and the factor analysis was used to reduce the variables in fewer factors reflecting homogeneous characteristics variables.

Pages: 476-478 Harprit Kaur and Anu (Department of Psychology, Punjabi University, Patiala) Anger and alienation are two areas of major concern in the current changing times marked by people living lives without feeling connected with their significant others, and exhibiting marked lowered frustration tolerance in reacting in social and familial interactions. It is important to tap the young adults so that appropriate help can be provided at the age when they are individuating and forming a stable personality. In contemporary times health has become an area of major concern and the most basic aspect for the same is the BMI. The current paper explores anger in relation to alienation and BMI, also referring to the socio-demographic variables. The research was performed by using standardized psychological measures on a sample of 70 individuals and the results obtained were analyzed using correlation, t-test and ANOVA. Anger and alienation were found to be highly positively correlated but gender differences and mediating effect of BMI was absent. Results and their implications are discussed in detail in the present paper. Pages: 476-478
