The study examined the effects of climate change on rural female farmers in Wurompo. A farming community, in the Wenchi Municipality of Brong Ahafo region of Ghana. This farming community depends on rain fed agriculture activities for livelihood. In recent years, droughts, unpredictable rainfall pattern and crop failure have become common in the area. The study assessed the knowledge and awareness level of female farmers in the community about climate change. It also identified the effects of climate change on the livelihood of the women in the community as well as examined the adaptation strategies used by the farmers as a way of coping with the situation. Qualitative method was used to conduct the study. Focus group discussions and key informant interview were employed. Findings of the study indicated that climate change has negatively affected the livelihood of female farmers in the community leading to a decline in food crops production and water stress possibly because of observed temperature rise. Furthermore, the study indicates the main challenges to climate change adaptation, to include poverty, lack of adequate information on the adverse impact of climate change, basic infrastructure challenges and modern farming implements and practices. The study recommends that female farmers be educated on the negative impacts of climate change and training with the necessary adaptation strategies to build their resilience. The Ministry of food and Agriculture should formulate direct policies targeted at rural female farmers to adapt to climate change and device a modern agricultural techniques and practices to boast food production in the area.
Insurance business in India had taken step first in open competitive market then to nationalization. For almost four decades LIC has been the sole player with virtual monopoly in the Life Insurance Sector, it was in 1990,s government of India ventured into policy of liberalization and privatization and once again the insurance sector is back to privatize and liberalized market. Hence today most of the private players are giving competition to the public sector company, As private players entered in the market the market is booming in insurance sector with various products for attracting the attention of customer consequently by the year 2000-2001 , 12 players entered the life insurance sector .which will effect the performance of life insurance corporation .Thus the LIC had never faced any competition and at the same time had monopoly in the market, now has to compete with the private players,. It is therefore important to study the performance of Life Insurance Corporation after the entry of the private players and after adapting liberalize policy by the government therefore it becomes imperative to evaluate the performance of life insurance Corporation of India. The entry of private players in the market after adapting privatization by the government had effected in the performance of the life insurance sector, which is the key sector in the financial system Hence there is primary need to evaluate the performance of LIC and to study the need of privatization in Life Insurance Sector at the same time to study impact of private entrants in Insurance Sector, especially with regard to performance of life Insurance Corporation of India The broader objective of this study is to evaluate the role of privatization on the performance of LIC. Following are the specific objectives of this study; 1. To evaluate the performance of LIC 2. To study the need of privatization in Life Insurance Sector 3. To study impact of private entrants in Insurance Sector, Specially with regard to performance of life Insurance Corporation of India The suggestion and criticism for the improvement in the research are welcome.
This dissertation aimed at identifying and explaining why trade unions in Mauritius have lost their influence in the contemporary workplace context. After being vibrant during the buoyant period of the 1970s, trade unions now face challenges that they must justly consider to enable them develop in today’s society. This phenomenon is global and affects both advanced and developing economies from a workplace perspective. The study examined why trade unions lost their influence over employees, members and society. It identified that trade union influence was on the decline and, if unions maintained the same structure and objectives that focused mainly on member recruitment and disputes over pay, they would not survive in the current and forthcoming conditions since there is better employee education, legal framework supporting employees and wider use of technology. The Employee Relations Act 2008 served as a background with new developments in favour of the employee but unions contested key provisions it made. The research conducted with a systematically organised sample of some 100 respondents, confirmed that unions, both public and private, had to focus on strategic factors and that these would determine their success. The findings showed that if unions followed key strategies for their survival, namely innovation in communication, leadership, female empowerment, social partnership, union rationalisation and focus on globalisation, they would secure better chances to remain relevant and maintain their credibility among the stakeholders of employee relations, in particular, employees, employers and government. A model and recommendations were developed that could lead to ensuring the success and survival of trade unions in Mauritius in the years to come.

What secrets lurk in a family’s past—and how important are they in the here and now? Sudha Murty’s new book comprises two novellas that explore two quests by two different men—both for mothers they never knew they had. Venkatesh, a bank manager, stumbles upon his lookalike one fine day. When he probes further, he discovers his father’s hidden past, which includes an abandoned wife and child. Ventakesh is determined to make amends to his impoverished stepmother—but how can he repay his father’s debt? Mukesh, a young man, is shocked to realize after his father’s death that he was actually adopted. He sets out to find his biological mother, but the deeper he delves, the more confused he is about where his loyalties should lie: with the mother who gave birth to him, or with the mother who brought him up. The Mother I Never Knew is a poignant, dramatic book that reaches deep into the human heart to reveal what we really feel about those closest to us.
This book is written for members of the scholarly research community, and for persons involved in research evaluation and research policy. More specifically, it is directed towards the following four main groups of readers: – All scientists and scholars who have been or will be subjected to a quantitative assessment of research performance using citation analysis. – Research policy makers and managers who wish to become conversant with the basic features of citation analysis, and about its potentialities and limitations. – Members of peer review committees and other evaluators, who consider the use of citation analysis as a tool in their assessments. – Practitioners and students in the field of quantitative science and technology studies, informetrics, and library and information science. Citation analysis involves the construction and application of a series of indicators of the ‘impact’, ‘influence’ or ‘quality’ of scholarly work, derived from citation data, i.e. data on references cited in footnotes or bibliographies of scholarly research publications. Such indicators are applied both in the study of scholarly communication and in the assessment of research performance. The term ‘scholarly’ comprises all domains of science and scholarship, including not only those fields that are normally denoted as science – the natural and life sciences, mathematical and technical sciences – but also social sciences and humanities.
This book is a reaction to popular assumptions that innovation is always a force for good. While the popular press and politicians often take the view that "the more innovation, the better", the chapters in this edited volume reflect on the harmful effects of innovation on society and the environment. The book begins with a broad discussion of the dark side of innovation, followed by contributions by various experts in the area. It is a critical reply to the innovation optimists, complementing the list of indicators that show steady human progress with a list of indicators that show sustained deterioration (largely due to innovation). The volume outlines some relevant dimensions of harmful innovation, before distinguishing between the types of harm brought on by innovation. The various contributed chapters focus on the following themes: a bibliometric analysis of the scientific literature on the harmful consequences of innovation; harmful side-effects from solar photovoltaic waste; harmful consequences of process innovations on working practices in areas such as accountancy; the difficulties of transferring innovations from research to practice in clinical healthcare; and the harmful consequences of social innovations. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal Industry and Innovation.
The International Symposium on Experimental Robotics (ISER) is a series of bi-annual meetings which are organized in a rotating fashion around North America, Europe and Asia/Oceania. The goal of ISER is to provide a forum for research in robotics that focuses on novelty of theoretical contributions validated by experimental results. The meetings are conceived to bring together, in a small group setting, researchers from around the world who are in the forefront of experimental robotics research. This unique reference presents the latest advances across the various fields of robotics, with ideas that are not only conceived conceptually but also explored experimentally. It collects robotics contributions on the current developments and new directions in the field of experimental robotics, which are based on the papers presented at the 14th ISER held on June 15-18, 2014 in Marrakech and Essaouira, Morocco. This present fourteenth edition of Experimental Robotics edited by M. Ani Hsieh, Oussama Khatib, and Vijay Kumar offers a collection of a broad range of topics in field and human-ce ntered robotics.
