The concepts of democracy and governance have come to occupy a more prominent position in the discourse of national and international development. They have become key notions in which citizens can have a more active role which should enhance their positive view of the increase legitimacy of the state. As a matter of fact, both concepts are inseparable from the existential characteristics of all political animals all over the world. They continue to determine the democratic political arrangement and, dictate the landscapes and operational nerves of all civilized democratic polities in todays ICT-driven world particularly in terms of the functional performance of the horizontal organs of government which have increasingly gained prominence vis--vis public policy and responsive service delivery. One of the critical components/units of these horizontal organs [Executive, Legislature and Judiciary] - is the Legislature. The Legislature and its functionaries - the Legislators constitute a cardinal part of the major pillars of the governance process in the democratic political systems of todays world, Nigeria inclusive. Against this background, this paper in a revisitational manner deals with the discourses of these concepts. In the process it highlights their theoretical underpinnings in ways they can be easily discerned for todays governance process and the democratic aspects and landscapes of most nations of the world vis--vis the existential wherewithal of the citizens.

The issue of leadership in human society and its various terrains has attracted series of scholastic and intellectual attentions. These attentions have deep-seated historical pedigree. The concept has become a key concern in organizations within both the private and public sectors of polities and corporate settings all over the world in that everything begins and ends with the issue of leadership and its types. It determines the successes or failures of any human endeavour and, such is determined by the type of leadership in place. Against this background, this paper deals with the concept of leadership using a dialectical approach [though not the Hegelian philosophical type of unification] in the quest for a synthesis of its various components. The paper seeks a further retooling and/or recoiling of the hitherto mutually inclusive components of leadership and its various types. Using the conceptual analysis of the term leadership as the point of departure and, giving analytical credence to the leadership sustainability of followership confidence with insights on servant leadership and other theoretical constructs on the subject matter of the main focus [e.g., McGregors Theories X and Y; Maslows Hierarchy of Needs etc]. In the process, while examining the linkage between the concepts of leadership and power and, the latters transformation into legitimate authority, the concept of change leadership which has gained a wider currency within the matrix of organizational and management studies and, its transcendental utility to the organizational terrains of various political economies and their landscapes was examined. This examination was done within the context of a change leadership being a key to large-scale sustainable organizational and political reform in the quest for human productivity, improved morale and micro and macro political self-fulfillment. The paper concludes with the emphasis that the evocation of the concept of leadership, its types and/or styles, to alter the behaviours of others in groups and organizations in the quest for attainment of desired goals based on focused agenda setting will infinitely continue in our world, particularly at this period of the planetary phenomenon of globalization and its mondialization of human relational threads.

Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is extensively used to manufacture orthopedic total implant components. Wear debris of this polymer released at the periimplant region is responsible for osteolysis and implant failure. Cells around the implant where the metallic and polymeric components articulate, respond to these non-biodegradable particles (primarily UHMWPE) and release chemical mediators that eventually lead to aseptic loosening of the implant. In this short review we discuss the various cell lineages that respond to and are involved in the wear-mediated osteolytic process.
Keywords: UHMWPE, wear-debris, nanoparticles, cells, wear-mediated osteolysis.

Leadership is a key success factor in the success in managing of any organizations including nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). Most Thailand s NGOs focus on community services which related to women rights, education for less opportunity people, healthcare, and rescue services. In Thailand, most employees who join and work in the NGOs not only because of financial issues, but they believe some other factors. This study aims to investigate the impact of leadership on employees retaining in nongovernment organizations in Thailand. Four Thai NGOs were taken in this study. In-debt interview was employed to collect data from managers who worked in the NGOs. The results found that leadership played important roles in NGOs employees retention in addition to other job satisfaction factors in most organizations. All leaders in the sample NGOs determined high value of their employees. The leaders stated that they would find the best way to retain their employees to work for their organizations in the long term. First, they collected information related to factors impacted on the employees satisfactory in working. However, if they found the problem, they would work along side the employees to resolve it. Some NGOs found the organizations working philosophy helped them to screen people who are going to join working with the organizations. The employees who accepted those philosophies before joining to work in the organizations seemed to fit the work condition and continue to work in the organizations in longer period of time. Finally, the results found that leadership in the NGOs played more importance roles than other factors which are relationships among employees, devotion to voluntary works, work condition, internal communications, compensation, and hygiene factors in order to retain employees to work with the NGOs.
Key words: Nongovernment organizations, leadership, retaining, employees, Thailand.

Kenya targets to become an industrialized country by 2030 and to become a globally competitive country. The government appreciates the critical role played by Science and Mathematics in the realization of vision 2030. This is manifested by the human and financial resources that are allocated for teaching and learning of Science subjects (Biology, Chemistry and Physics) and Mathematics at primary, and post primary institutions of learning. At secondary school level, the government has continued to provide qualified Mathematics and Science teachers through the Teachers Service Commission, construction of laboratories and provision of in-service training for Science and Mathematics teachers under Strengthening of Mathematics and Science in Secondary Education (SMASSE) project. Moreover, quite a considerable amount of the Ministry of Educations budget allocation goes towards this project in efforts to ensure effectiveness in the teaching and learning of these subjects. However, the performance of Mathematics and Science subjects which are greatly relied upon for industrialization to be realized has still been remarkably poor hence the SMASSE project, which was initiated by the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Government of Kenya in 1998 when the consistently poor performance in Mathematics and Science subjects became a matter of serious concern (Waititu and Orado, 2009), and there was urgent need for improvement in these subjects. This paper therefore reviews the growth of SMASSE in terms of its contributions to upgrading the performance in Mathematics and Sciences, how it interacts with other initiatives meant to improve teaching and learning in these subjects and some of the measures that have been put in place for the proper implementation, running and sustainability of the project. The paper further seeks to determine the future prospects of SMASSE in focus to attainment of vision 2030.

There are broadly two modes of education system one is conventional and the other is distance education system. For ages the conventional education system has remained the dominant way of spreading education where the construct of the school or the institute is very specific. But with time things change as well as the concepts. The latest trend in the education system is distance education where the students can enjoy utmost freedom in the process of learning. You can remain engaged in all other works including the course you want to pursue. This is the major difference between the distance education and conventional education systems. It would be better to state that the whole conception of online education holds a difference in the core that separates it from conventional education. You won't have concrete classrooms in distance education where you can find a bunch of students attending lectures of their respective teachers The concepts on the basis of which distance education operates distinctly distinguish it from the traditional educational system are i)Learner-centeredness/learner autonomy ,ii) Learnercenteredness iii)Education in real-life setting. This paper will discuss these issues in the light of relevant case studies. The present paper is taken from the research work of the authors Ph.D thesis.

Since the introduction of Bt cotton in India there has been a serious debate going on its impact on cost, returns and productivity. Andhra Pradesh continue to be the largest cultivator of Bt cotton in India and it occupies third position among Indian cotton growing states both in terms of area as well as outturn. In this context, it would be appropriate to analyze the output and efficiency of inputs used in cotton cultivation in Andhra Pradesh state of India.. The Cobb-Douglas production and decomposition analysis techniques were used to estimate the influence of factors and Bt technology on output change. The results of the estimated production functions reveal that seeds and fertilizer is the most important input to which output is highly responsive in both Bt and Non-Bt cotton crop situations. The output elasticity of pesticide is higher in Non-Bt cotton cultivation than that of in Bt cotton cultivation. The decomposition revealed that the net impact of Bt technology alone is estimated to have increased the output by 10.88 %. It is necessary to motivate the farmers for cultivation of Bt cotton with appropriate extension strategies and policy measures.
Key Words: Bt technology, Bt cotton, Decomposition of output change, Non Bt cotton Production function, Resource use efficiency.

Simone De Beauvoir was born in Jan. 9, 1908 and died in April 14, 1986 in Paris, France. While studying at the Sorbonne, she met Jean-Paul Sartre and Maurice Merleau- Ponty, beginning a lifelong association with them. With these two philosophers, she founded a literary and political journal. She belonged to a feminist collective and was politically active in feminist causes. She wrote several novels and a number of philosophical works, the most notable of which was The Ethics of Ambiguity (1947), Le Deuxime Sexe (1949; translated as The Second Sex, 1952).In the present paper an attempt has been made to draw attention towards Beauvoirs observation on how women have been deliberately given secondary place. De Beauvoirs text (The Second Sex, 1952) laid the foundations for much of the feminist theory and political activism that emerged during the 1960s in Western Europe and America. Since then, its impact, if anything, has broadened and deepened: its basic thesis and premises continue to underlie the broad spectrum of feminist concerns. The books central argument is that, throughout history, woman has always occupied a secondary role in relation to man, being downgraded to the position of the other. Whereas man has been enabled to transcend and control his environment, always furthering the domain of his physical and intellectual conquests, woman has remained imprisoned within immanence, remaining a slave within the circle of duties imposed by her maternal and reproductive functions. In highlighting this subordination, the book explains in characteristic existentialist fashion how the so-called essence of woman was in fact created at many levels, economic, political, religious by historical developments representing the interests of men.

Travel behaviour analysis requires an understanding of the preferences of travellers, especially in case of leisure travel, which is characterised by heterogeneity and multiplicity of destinations. Factors associated with destination, travel and travellers psychology influence the destination choice further. This paper identifies the latent constructs influencing destination choices of domestic tourists, categorised by their associative value of destination and income groups. The results indicate that aspects associated with safety and comfort, and pre-decision influence the destination preferences of travellers at all destination types. Social restrictions and destination attributes are found to be value-specific. The level of importance associated with these factors are found to be distinctly different from one another. The income groups considered are also found to have distinct differences in their destination preferences. Economics and comfort related aspects, pre-decision as well destination-specific attributes are found to vary
significantly across the income groups. Based on the results, the study emphasises the need for segmentation of tourists with respect to destination values and income levels for better tourism management strategies.

Mobile number portability has become the order of the day and it is all about keeping the same mobile phone number when moving from a existing service provider to a new provider. The report was prepared on the basis of a comparative study, done to know the pros and cons of Mobile Number Portability System (MNPS) from both customer'' as well as services provider's perspective. Data was obtained through personal interview method at Bangalore. Two questionnaires were prepared; one for cellular service providers and second for the customers. After the Study, it was found that, Customers are eagerly waiting for such a service, where customer can change service provider without changing mobile number. Introduction of MNPS will lead to number of advantages to the customers like low tariff, flexibility to change, good network and more VAS. Major drawback of MNPS for customer will be relatively less as compared to that of service provider. Service providers do not seem to be happy with MNPS. They will face problems like losing customer base, cut-throat competition, and financial loss and also they will have to upgrade their network.

The Airports Authority of India (AAI) was formed on 1st April 1995 merging the International Airports Authority of India and the National Airports Authority with a view to accelerate the integrated development, expansion, modernization, operation, and cargo facilities at the Airport conforming to international standards. AAI has identified 12 important Domestic Airports, which are developed as model airports based on the traffic potential, tourist potential and coverage of regions of the country. The runaways at these airports are designed to cater forA-320 operation with standard approach and landing aids, modern communication and navigational facilities. The modern airports are Jaipur, Lucknow, Nagpur, Vadodara, Calicut, Coimbatore, Patna, Hyderabad, and Imphal. Apart from this, AAI is developing some of the cardinal airports. These include Goa, Bangalore, Varanasi, and Agra. With the intention to analyze the motivational practices of AAI, this research had been undertaken. As a matter of fact, the key to any successful organization is the end result of management motivation. It is one of the most difficult tasks that a manager faces because every employee is endowed with unique talents and motivational requirements. So much so, these methods that are used to motivate employees must be tailored to fit each one. Every organization should have motivation plans in store as much as to stimulate and encourage the employees positively and identify the due employee motivation. Some of the most effective ways for managers to motivate them include appreciating them at the right moments, being able to recognize their accomplishments and to give them positive feedback. Motivation is one of the responsibilities of all supervisors. The purpose of this dissertation is to study the Employee Motivational Schemes followed at Airports Authority of India, Chennai. The main objective of this project is to gain maximum knowledge of the Employee Motivational Schemes followed in the organization. The practical knowledge has been gained mainly by observing all the activities taking place in AAI. This study is mainly intended to gain the understanding of the Employee Motivation, as to how it is implemented, as to why it is necessary, its implications and benefits.

Generally speaking, there was no regular system of recruitment in Indian industries for two obvious reasons, viz. the migratory character of Indian labour and the shortage of labour in early days of the organized industry in the country. Railway Recruitment Boards are situated at Calcutta, Allahabad, Chennai, Mumbai, Muzzaffarpur, Guwahati, Chandigarh, Jammu Srinagar and Danapur. The Board, after selection, nominates the candidates to the respective Zonal Railways to appoint under their jurisdiction. Each recruitment board consists of a chairman, one or two members, a secretary and a secretariat. Normally aptitudinal test taken at the time of Recruitment will be related to the job given to the employee after recruitment. The study tried to find out whether the utilization of labours aptitude is made in the work allotted or not.

Agriculture is one of the strongholds of the Indian economy and accounts for 14.6 per cent of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) in 2009-10, and 10.23 per cent (provisional) of the total exports. Furthermore, the sector provided employment to 55 per cent of the work force. Indias agriculture and allied sector grew by 3.8 per cent in the first six months of the current fiscal (2010-11), against one per cent in the year-ago period on the back of better Kharif crop output. According to the GDP data released by the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO) on November 30, 2010, the country's farm sector grew by 2.5 per cent and 4.4 per cent each in the first two quarters of the current fiscal, against 1.9 per cent and 0.9 per cent, respectively, in the same period last year.

Students studying in B-schools get varieties of inputs (academic and otherwise). This paper investigates whether this process has any effect on the students on their emotional intelligence (EI). The paper also investigates the relationship between EI and academic performance of these students in the B-school (institute). It also studies if EI is dependent on gender. To represent emotional intelligence, emotional quotient has been used as the measure. The sample for the study was from three batches of students from 2009-11(Junior), 2008-10 (Senior) and 2007-09 (Super Senior). The juniors were fresher in the institute. The seniors had spent about a year in the institute where as the super seniors had spent about two years. The sample comprised boys and girls from various states with different academic qualifications. The instrument for measuring emotional quotient through a questionnaire was developed by Chadha (2003) and Singh (2003). The data on academic performance of these students were collected from the concerned office of the B-school. The name of the institute is not indicated here on request. In the first stage, the score of EQ of the students of three batches was analysed. It was found that EQ of students increased from juniors to seniors and from seniors to super seniors. In the next phase, the EQ scores of boy-students and girl-students were anlysed. It was found that EQ is not free from gender orientation. Girls have a higher EQ than boys in the institute. However, the author feels that this finding needs to be confirmed with a larger sample. In the final stage, EQ of students and their academic performance was analysed. It was found that students with high EQ were not necessarily high in academic performance. The conclusion from all this is that the various inputs in the B-school on the students is positive increasing their EQ preparing them well for performance in organizations after they pass out. The second conclusion is academic performance does not require all the abilities that are required for higher EQ of an individual.
