Occupational injuries have a major impact on public health and exact a huge toll in the workplace. Annually throughout the world, it is estimated that ∼300 000 people die from 250 million accidents that occur in the workplace (who 1999). However, efforts towards investigation of determinants among carpet thread factory workers are very minimal in developing countries including India. The aim of the study was to identify determinants of occupational injury among workers in carpet thread factory of Varanasi district, Uttar Pradesh state, India and to assess the different protective measures used during working day to prevent the different hazards. The sample consisted of 650 carpet thread factory included 310 workers (cases) and 340 non workers (controls).All the respondents were interviewed by a pretested questionnaire regarding occupational injury status within Eighteen month period (May 2007 to November 2008).

Internet marketing has significantly changed the personality of store competition. More and more often, even normal customer not just the technical smart one is diving in over internet. The level to which the World Wide Web suppliers can build trust will considerably affect the desire to purchase over internet. Consequently it is important to understand the aspects that effect customer believe in e-retailers. Data was collected from five main universities of Islamabad i.e. Muhammad Ali Jinnah university, Islamic International, Comsats, Behria and Quaid.e.Azam university Islamabad. Snow ball sampling technique was used and 200 questionnaires were distributed of which 157 were returned. Result showed that trust of internet merchants does play a pivotal role in attracting customer to shop online. The finding of this research paper will help the internet marketers and merchants to device such strategies that can ensure consumer trust on e.retailers and hence lessen the risk being involved in online transaction.

Energy performs a cardinal role in strategies of preferment for the developing countries. Traditional energy source reliance is a prima challenge for ameliorating the performance of their energy suppliers to benefit energy consumers. Hydrocarbons are already used a great deal as an energy source and they also harshly criticized because oil and gas are expensive. Consequently some developing countries are trying to cope up the challenge by considering the nuclear energy in their power production. Nuclear energy is the only nongreenhouse gas-emitting reliable and safe base load power source that can effectively replace fossil fuels and satisfy growing demands for energy. The average cost of producing nuclear energy comparing with coal and gas is quite low but sometimes takes cumbersome steps to establish the nuclear power plant. So this paper emphasizes on the supersede of conventional energy with nuclear power and the roadmap for the developing countries like Bangladesh to establish the nuclear power plant.

South Asian region is enjoying unprecedented booming economic growth. But this booming pecuniary emergence is becoming stifled by significant shortages in energy supply. If the exigent corrective steps are not initiated and implemented, it may be arduous to sustain the achieved growth rates and overall sustainable development. The region’s political leaders and its business community are recognizing gradually the need of cross-border energy exchange and promote regional energy trade. The region has available energy resources to produce power and it should be a matured option to interconnect the entire regional grid to mitigate the power crisis. This article identifies the potential and explicates the main opportunities of the south Asian region to cope up the energy crisis through sub continental power grid interconnection.

Factual study of social sciences and particular discipline like political science is a need of the time. Social science teaching can achieve this by promoting students ability to take initiative to positive critical reflection on social issues that have a bearing on the creative coexistence between individual good and collective good. Greeks argued that personal virtue required knowledge of and participation in the life of the polis. This is an attempt to discuss the matter of facts with of political science. The findings that family political discussion is broadly linked to youth civic development conforms to cognitive developmental theory, which argues that young persons construct meaning and knowledge about the political world through social interaction in this Instance with their parents. This discussion projects the influence of parent’s discussion with any youth which produced the civic development as well development of any nation in particular and the world order in general.

The profiles and determinants of child poverty in rural Nigeria were identified using the Demographic and Health Survey, 2008 data. The multidimensional child poverty concept was applied to children under-5 years of age. In all, a total of 4,543 children were analyzed. About half of the children were male and the mean age for all the children is 29 months old. A single step Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) was carried out to generate weights for five dimensions used in the multidimensional poverty estimations. These dimensions are safe drinking water, sanitation, housing, health and nutrition. The Alkire and Foster (2007) counting approach was applied to generate multidimensional poverty profiles for the children. When the poverty cut off K=1, 52% of the children were multidimensional poor as against 27.9% poor when k=3.This implies that when children are deprived in at least one dimension, 52% are multidimensional poor. The health and sanitation dimensions had the highest relative contribution of 38.54% and 22.58% respectively to the overall multidimensional poverty index.

A total of ninety six day-old broiler chicks were used for this study. The birds were allotted to four dietary treatments in a completely randomized design. Each treatment had 3 replicates and there were eight birds per replicate. All birds were kept under the same managerial, environmental and hygienic conditions. The diets were formulated on isocaloric (3000.00kcal/kgME) and isonitrogenous (23.00% Crude Protein) levels. T1 (control), T2 (1g/kg yeast supplementation),T3 (1.25g/kg yeast supplementation), T4 (1.5g/kg yeast supplementation) were fed to the birds on each treatment. Data on performance (feed intake, weight gain and feed conversion ratio) and gut morphology were collected. Data were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) procedure of SAS, 2010. No significant differences were observed in the weight gain of the birds in the treatments. However, birds fed T2 had the least significant feed conversion ratio (2.10kg) when compared with their counterparts on the T1 (2.34kg).

Recycling has been encouraged broadly as a tool to diminish the destructive impacts of excessive solid waste. However, recycling in most developing countries undergoes from lack of household participation. The finding of this paper demonstrated that the major constraints that impede recycling involvement are likely to come from hidden cost of recycling – the poor access of facility, lack of recycling skill, and unavailability of information.

“Empowerment is the process by which the powerless gain greater control over the circumstances of their lives. It includes both control over resources (physical, human, intellectual, financial) and over ideology (believes values and attitudes)…”1 The status of women in a society is measured in terms of educational level, income level, employment, health status, decision making right autonomy as well as the various roles played by them in the family, society and the community. Indian women’s status, role and their problems are linked to the history and traditional social system of the country. Women constitute half of the population, yet they are not treated on par with men in many aspects of life. In our country (and world wide), women usually have been linked to home and hearth. This has usually resulted in their economic dependence, social neglect and political ignorance which in their turn have prevented women from empowering themselves.

Research on job satisfaction is replete with the studies exploring the impacts of personal and demographic attributes of the employees on their organizational attitudes. Demographics are tested as the predictor of job satisfaction or dissatisfaction and its consequences like involvement, commitment, absenteeism and turnover. Mixed results have been reported by the researchers showing that different demographic factors play different roles in diverse settings, for example, in advanced and developing countries. Thus, researchers have proved that demographic analysis is indispensable to understand the employee attitudes. This paper is a part of PhD research project on ‘job satisfaction of academicians in the HEIs of KPK, Pakistan.’
