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: 386-390 In the concept of surrogacy the maternity issues seems to be at stake. Surrogate motherhood is defined as, when one woman carried the fertilized egg of another woman. Another type of surrogate motherhood is when a woman contract to carry a child for a couple and then is artificially inseminated with the sperm of husband of the commissioning couple. The surrogate mother uses her own egg in this situation the wife may be capable of producing eggs but has no womb or some other physical impediment which prevent her from carrying child. The surrogacy is used by married couples who are unable to have children due to wife's inability either to conceive or to carry foetus to term. The legitimacy of the child born out of surrogate parenthood is the issue which Indian legislation fails to answer. There is a corridor of uncertainty and haze of confusion regarding the concept of Artificial Insemination Donor (AID). So immediate legislation is the need of the hour.

Pages: 381-385 Gender equality and empowerment of women is recognized globally as a key element to achieve progress in all spheres of life. Democratic decentralization is best bet for good governance. The study was conducted in two districts of Haryana state having highest and lowest female literacy status i.e. Panchkula and Mewat, respectively. Majority of respondents were of middle age, illiterate and primary school educated. Majority of them had entered in PRI for the first time and overwhelming majority had attended training at village and block level. About 80% of them were interested to know more about PRI, their roles and responsibilities and preferred village as venue of training. Majority of respondents were having no knowledge about most of structural aspects of panchayat. Literacy advanced area had clear and positive effect on knowledge level of elected women representatives about structural and functional activities. Younger age respondents were having high knowledge level about most of panchayat activities, structural aspects and decision making. It is suggested that efforts are required for real empowerment of rural women by bringing about an attitudinal change in both men and women.

Pages: 374-378 The admission Process to nursery classes has been the subject of much controversy in recent years. Private unaided schools, in particular, have come under critical scrutiny for their admission procedures. This issue has been agitating the minds of educationist, parents, jurist and all those concerned with the education of young children as to how the trauma and tension associated with the admission process can be eliminated and a child friendly method evolved. The admission procedures for these very young children between the ages of 3.5 and 5 years after consist of written/oral selection test for children, interview of children, and interview of/interaction with parents. Criteria such as siblings, neighbourhood concept, alumni, profession and educational qualifications of parents are also included by some schools in their admission criteria for short listing of candidates. As there is no common admission procedure for all the private schools of Delhi, each school has been using its own discretion in formulating a procedure and implementing it for selecting children for admission to nursery classes. In doing so, there have often been complaints that procedures used are not transparent and equitable and as a result, many parents felt unfairly treated. Since so much of the future of their children was at stake, these feelings have a legitimacy of their own. Pages: 374-378Monika Choudhry (Tika Ram College of Education, Sonepat, Haryana) |
Pages: 371-373 The present paper reviews the available evidence on the problems with quality of education among Muslims in India. In this paper an attempt is made to highlight the problems of quality education among Muslims of India. Education plays an important role in making any community developed and advanced. In the modern society education is used as a lever for equalizing economic and other opportunities for people and the quality education nurtures human talent and creativity. Muslims in India are considered educationally backwards as is reported by the Sachar committee (2006) that Muslims are not educationally backward but they are lagging behind, even schedule casts and schedule tribes. So for the upliftment of Muslims especially in the education sector there is need to ascertain the causes and concerns of their educational backwardness and to know the factors that are responsible for the low quality education among Muslims. At last, the author presents some suggestion for the future course action. Pages: 371-373Mohammad Ashraf Malik (Department of Psychology, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, UP) |
Pages: 368-370 Education is essential for social, economical and political upliftment of the nation. ICT is being used to address various issues including education. Education drives the economic and social development in any country. Rapid emergence of new technologies necessitates that education system must keep pace with advancements in knowledge and skill. The integration of ICT in higher education is “inevitable”. Although the use of ICT is not a guarantee against all the problems of education, it does enhance the teaching learning activities and has the potential to positively impact on learning. ICT can be used for providing affordable, accessible and quality education to the masses. Emergence of technology has necessitated adopting innovative methods of teaching. The findings of the study reveal that ICT enabled instructions enhance the problem solving ability of the total sample, boys, girls, rural and urban students. This result has been supported by many studies. Bhattacharya and Sharma (2007) found that ICT help in developing higher order skills and collaborative skills. Oliver (2002) concluded that ICT enhances flexibility of programs. Cross & Adams (2007) indicated that ICT creates competition among institutions leading to improved quality and Kozma et. al, (2005) showed that ICT encourages life long learning and meets the need of employers. This may be due to the fact that ICT based instructions provides variety in the classroom situation, gives an opportunity for drill and practice, creates interest in the students and motivates them to learn and solve the problems.

Pages: 360-362 In this throat cut competition, survival is possible only for those, who can bridge the gap to satisfy customer needs. The same applies to the pharmaceutical marketing. So the aim of pharmaceutical marketing is to concentrate more on the satisfaction of customers needs and for this it is very important to know the basic requirements and attitude of customers pertaining to the product with goal oriented services. For the development and result driven objective of the business it is very essential to adopt scientific yet different approach of promotional activity which can help company to stand ahead of the competitors. Pharmaceutical companies develop relationship management practices to enhance customer satisfaction. It is observed the most pharmacy company adopt the same traditional way to promote and sell their products. The process of selling drugs involves huge cost, time and energy so the success of brand lies in the technical promotion activity. Medical practitioners are the prime customers for pharmaceutical companies, as they decide which brand they should be prescribed to which sections of their patients in different ailments. So various marketing strategies are required as a strong weapon for convincing the doctors to prescribe products. The study has been done to take feedback from the customer (doctors) in the questionnaires format and the paper also tries to throw light on some vital factors, which influence the prescription behavior of doctors.

Pages: 357-359 With the notification of Biomedical Waste Management (BMW) Rules 1998, health care institutions are self responsible to dispose of BMW and it costs a significant part of overall budget of a hospital. In the BMW management, two types of costs are incurred by hospitals viz. internal and external. Internal cost is the cost for segregation, disinfection, internal storage and transportation and external cost involves off site transport and final disposal. A descriptive study was conducted in multispecialty Hospital to do cost analysis in outsourcing of BMW management. Approximately 183 Kg of infectious waste is generated daily while load of plastic and general waste is 49 kg and 1,050 Kg respectively. The total expenditure was INR 28, 60,394 after deducting the revenue generated (INR 5, 67,060/-). Load of BMW produced per bed/day is 1.84 Kg. and the hospital has to bear the expenditure of INR 7,837/- per day and INR 11.26/bed/day.

Pages: 352-356 In general, NRI marriages are arranged in a short period of time, without proper enquiry about the particulars of the bridegrooms and finally, the poor girls becoming the victims of fraudulent marriages. The problem of NRI boys marrying girls and then running away is becoming more and more alarming. In many cases, many of these NRIs are already married and have children or there is a big gap in age. Moreover, few visit India on a short trip only, in order to allure and exploit young girls who have dreams in their eyes to go abroad. Such grooms not only sexually exploit the girls but also demand handsome dowry from the bride's family. In most of the cases, after the marriage has been solemnized the NRI husband goes back to his adopted country, leaving behind his newly-wed wife on the pretext that he would call her there very soon after making the necessary arrangements. However, after waiting for years together, the girl finds that her 'NRI husband' has not only exploited her sexually, but also left her to curse her miserable destiny for the whole life. She is oppressed and humiliated as she can't raise her voice being new to that country, away from her parents, with nobody to help her in her agony. It is not possible to uncover the different problems of victims relating to their financial, psychological, socio-cultural and legal problems in the present paper. Therefore, in the present paper an attempt has been made to throw light on the problems faced by the abandoned wives of NRI groom with special reference to the physical abuse/ torture. Violence not only causes physical injury, it also undermines the social, economic, psychological, spiritual and emotional well being of the victim, the perpetrator and the society as a whole. Violence is a major contributor to the ill health of women. Therefore, with this an attempt has also been made to highlight the various health issues of the victims.

Pages: 343-347 With only one year left before 2015, many challenges are still ahead for Indonesia to achieve the Education for All (EFA) targets. According to a study conducted in 2010, in an effort to develop a nine years compulsory education model for street children, it was established that there several factors that influence the existence of street children. This leads to varying groups of street children which comprise: of the street children, on the street children and the vulnerable children who are not getting education. The main factors leading to this situation are two: divorce of the parents because of poverty or lack of harmony in the family, which is categorized as a family problem. Second, the social and environmental problems which include: limited awareness of the society about the importance of education. With such a situation, it is necessary to propose several alternative models which can help to improve the implementation of education for the street children if governments are to meet the targets of the EFA.
