The children under years are a period where the child is experiencing a period of relatively rapid growth. One crucial factor is the nutrition factor. Nutritional status of children under five years is critical in theirgrowing process because it is the age that will determine their physical, psychological and intelligent development in the future. The objective of the research was to find out the correlation ofsocio-economy with the nutritional status of children below five years of age. It wasan analysis of a cross-sectional design, the implementation using a questionnaire. The samples were 95 children below five years old in Lingkungan I, TPA (Landfills) Terjun, Paya Pasir Village. The variables were the socio-economy and nutritional status of children under five years of age. The data analysis using chi-square test and multiple logistic regression analysis. The result showed that 54.7% of the respondents had good nutritional status. The result of chi-square test showed that there was a correlation of socio-economy with those surveyed' nutritional status. The multivariate analysis indicated that mothers' knowledge was the most dominant factor which influenced respondents' nutritional status (OR= 8,2). Researchers suggested to the attendant health promotion along with officers nutrition providing information about the nutritional situation of children under five years and socialization to mothers in Posyandu (Integrated Health Service) Post or explanation to the parents about feeding patterns of children for five years so she can good knowledge of nutrition can reduce the incidence of children under five years and less nutrition status in children under five years through maternal or family role Keyword: Socio-Economy, Nutritional Status, Nutrition Relationship
未成年儿童是儿童经历相对快速成长的时期。其中一个关键因素是营养因素。五岁以下儿童的营养状况在他们的成长过程中至关重要，因为这是决定他们未来身体、心理和智力发展的年龄。研究的目的是找出社会经济与五岁以下儿童营养状况的关系。这是一个分析的横断面设计，实施使用问卷调查。样本为Paya Pasir村TPA(垃圾填埋场)Terjun Lingkungan I的95名5岁以下儿童。变量是5岁以下儿童的社会经济和营养状况。数据分析采用卡方检验和多元logistic回归分析。结果显示，54.7%的受访者营养状况良好。卡方检验结果表明，社会经济状况与被调查者的营养状况存在相关性。多因素分析表明，母亲的知识是影响被调查者营养状况的最主要因素(OR= 8,2)。研究人员建议，在综合保健服务站，向母亲提供5岁以下儿童的营养状况和社会化信息，或向父母解释5岁以下儿童的喂养模式，使其了解营养，通过母亲或家庭减少5岁以下儿童的发病率和5岁以下儿童的营养状况关键词:社会经济;营养状况;营养关系

The Bodos are believed to be the earliest settlers of Assam and of the regions known as the North East India. In ancient periods, the Bodos built powerful kingdoms in different names and in different places in the present North East India including the present north Bengal and Bangladesh. But in the modern period, the Bodos are now represented as the rural community with their modest living on their agricultural produce. Their medieval religious practices are still carried to this day, and during the period of the study that is second half of the nineteenth and the first part of the twentieth century, the modern economic activities could not be seen, they did not have any polity of their own, nor any written character, hence, no written history to reckon with, the social practices were of rudest type. Such a state of things was bound to attract criticism, hatred and belittlement in the hands of other neighbouring communities. The consequence is the wide proselytization to other established religions after giving up their ancestral religion, social practices and their own language, culture and traditions. They were on the brink of losing in oblivion. From this critical juncture, the Bodos were rescued by the efforts of some of their community leaders and reset in the right track again to march ahead. This research study is an attempt to know what actually, were the conditions of society, religion and economic lives of the Bodos during the period of the study. Endeavour is also to highlight the issue for the sake of dissemination across all sections of people.

Realities of Sex and sexuality show that this is a subject that has been talked about in harsh tones, especially in some greater parts of African communities. Having or not having sex, sex is a term that is well known, yet it has been given very little attention when it comes to serious public discussions and debates. One of the reasons being that it is still rather a taboo, in African traditional and modern communities, alike, to publicly discuss sex related topics since they are loosely connected to genitalia or bedroom activity. While sexuality, as a term that generally defines capacity for sexual feelings, includes those body parts not commonly discussed, it has to be known that, the term is constitutive of all which define who we are, in terms of the way we behave and/or react like: speak, smile, laugh, dress, or generally carry ourselves as expressed through gait or posture of standing, sitting or walking. So, whether we talk about it, shun or refrain from the topic or subject, we still remain influential on the sexuality of others, especially our children, inclusive of those with disabilities. It is for that reason that there is need to openly talk about sex and sexuality related issues.

The essay here intends to enhance the understanding regarding the character of industrialization taking place during first half of twentieth century and how it led to the emergence of new industrial towns (in my study example of Delhi). My effort is to unravel the British Government’s bias towards the European capitalists and the restrictions it applied to thwart the growth of indigenous industries by adopting the policy of ‘Free-trade’. It was the limited but significant opportunities provided by new developments such as ‘Britain’s wartime needs’ and ‘the protective measures adopted for indigenous industries to secure these needs’ along with the effects of ‘Great Depression’ and also the political uncertainty caused by national movement that allowed the capitalist class of these newly emerging industrial towns, to grab a chance to grow.

One of the important merits in the teacher is that he knows his subject thoroughly well and is to keep in touch with his subject to remain up-to-date. A good teacher is required to have an attitude of love and sympathy for children. The ideal character of teacher leaves an ever lasting impression on the minds of his pupil. It is the teacher who can create a national perspective for understanding social and economic difference in the nation. The teacher should be a model to his own image in the minds of his students. The present study seeks to compare the mental health of secondary school teachers in respect of their location, gender and stream of teaching. Twenty school teachers chosen from Krishnanagar-II, block of Nadia district of West Bengal as sample. RCE mental health scale by Anand (1992) has been adopted by present researchers. Study revealed that, teachers’ mental health was not changeable in respect of their location, gender and stream of teaching. More research also needed to identify the specific factors by which, mental health of school teachers will reflect efficiently.

The present paper discusses the initiatives taken by the Dot Org to address the prevalent issues of creativity crisis and lack of economic self-sufficiency. Dot Org is a non-government organization formed by undergraduate students of a technical college, who take out some time from their busy study schedule to contribute for the enhancing art skills of unprivileged children by imparting them education and raising funds for them. It further discusses how the evolution in the field of graphic designing has led to the devaluation of handmade arts and how one can combine the two to ensure the coexistence and development of both. The paper also shows the workflow showing implementation of the idea of creating a bridge between privileged and the underprivileged for sustainable development. The workflow includes the process of extraction of design, processing and then final publishing of the design in the form of an economic product.

The proliferation of Journalism and Mass communication programs in both the University system and outside of it is significant. While the FTII (Film and Television Institute of India), AJKMCRC (AJK Mass Communication Research Centre), IIMC (Indian Institute of Mass Communication), TISS (Tata Institute of Social Sciences) still remain the most popular, well sought for govt run institutes, there are many other private colleges and universities like GD Goenka, KR Mangalam, Chitkara and Noida International University that have come up and are offering various programs in media studies and even the doctorate degree in Journalism and Mass communication. Not only this, several media houses including NDTV and TV Today offer the diplomas and certificate programs in media studies with a 100% guarantee of placements. The present paper proposes to discuss the impact of corporatisation on the status of media education and research practices in India. This question regarding corporatisation merits serious attention since the purpose of higher education is the creation of knowledge, and the corporatized university spaces start with the assumption of ‘students as the consumers’ whose demands of study material and academic grades should be fulfilled since they have paid the requisite fee. Even the assessment of the faculty’s performance is done on the basis of students’ feedback which may or may not reflect the credentials of a faculty. Through this paper, the researchers explore the manifestations of the corporatisation process in casualization of the academic professionals, the repercussions of corporate management styles and practices on university governance, curriculum decisions and academic freedom and the impact of corporate and commercial influences on academic research and the creation of knowledge society.

Today voluntary organisations are playing an active role in almost every conceivable field of human interest. Their contribution to the welfare and development of a society is undoubtedly remarkable. By fostering a sense of solidarity among its members, a voluntary organisation provides an opportunity to serve ones fellows and the society at large without being motivated by profit. They work on philanthropy, spiritual and altruistic principles. Along with their immense contribution in diverse field such as education, relief, rehabilitation etc, the role of voluntary organisations in human development by improving our health system cannot be ignored The study focuses on the role played by voluntary organisations in India and by the Ramakrishna Mission as a voluntary organisation in particular. It also highlights the activities of Ramakrishna Mission relating to health in Shillong with emphasis on its charitable dispensary and its mobile medical unit.

The ever increasing impacts of globalization and technological development have transformed our learning patterns to a large extent. Learning English as a foreign language is not an exception as technology pervades all aspects of modern life in general and the communication by using English language in particular. The challenges of learning English in Bangladesh are many and Pabna is one of the leading districts. This paper attempts to examine higher secondary level students’ attitude and perception towards their technology skill, usage patterns, perceived benefits of and challenges to using technology in learning English. To meet the research objectives, this study depends upon relevant literatures, documents, and observations and carries out questionnaire survey. One hundred and twenty (n=120) students from three government colleges of Pabna are randomly selected for interview. The findings indicate that technology tools like computer softwares, social networking websites, online videos, mp3 podcasts, smart phone and tablet apps have positive impacts and can be very much effective in improving students’ language skills. It is expected that outcome of this study will provide potential pedagogical implications for developing English learning skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening) and establish ground for further research in this area.
