This paper employs a deconstructivist approach to study Malay academic underachievement through uncovering the operations underlying the racial stereotypical essentialist claim, specifically focusing on whether a race and its native language (Malay) can possibly account for the educational outcomes for the Malays. Focus group interview was conducted with six Malay undergraduates engaged through personal contacts and snowball sampling. This study shows how language constitutes a grey zone between multiracialism and assimilation on both micro (individual) and macro (societal) levels. Through linking both micro (bilingual policy) and macro levels (`modern Singaporean`) in terms of language, the findings of this study highlight how academic achievement or underachievement becomes simply a `race` issue that develops to a taken-for-granted reality when it could be unearthed as a language issue. ····· 10361113771

This sector has been set the target of 5% growth for the period 2007-12 in order to achieve over all agricultural growth of 4%. However, growth rate of this sector has been hovering around 3.7% during 2007-10 due to stagnation in the productivity of dairy aimals. To increase productivity, it is imperative to increase investment. Since, farmers in India are resource poor, lacking own capital to reinvest in dairying, there is a need to provide institutional credit. With this background the present study was conducted in a major state of India. Study found that despite significant contribution of this sector, credit alloted was only 1% of the agricultural credit. Repayment was found to be far lower than crop sector. Requirement of credit was found to be higher for marginal and land less farmers. Study of utilisation pattern revealed that only 36% of dairy credit was used for target activity. Discriminant analysis showed that higher percentage of earning adults in the family, higher income from dairy contributed towards lower repayment. ····· 10361113748

These are repeated drought, rapid increase of population, and the role of market economy. Although not rejecting these causes, this book paid much attention to the role of the Sudanese state and its ineffective economic policy towards pastoral communities. Under the pretext of the illusion of development, pastoral lands have been taken and converted to mechanized farming, without taking into account the livelihood interests of pastoral people. Hungry or angry people in the east as well as in Darfur have nothing left than to fight for survival. The study consists of seven chapters covering several topics including research problem, theoretical framework, physical and human aspects of eastern Sudan, land tenure system, socio-economic indicators, and rangeland information system. The adoption of political ecology approach coupled with GIS application make the book very useful for the researchers as well as planners who are interested in understanding pastoral livelihood and designing rangeland information system. ····· 10361113648

In order to make it sustainable, motivation should come from within an individual and should make efforts to bring positive changes in existing situation. This happens only by making collaborative efforts with others, by acquiring new skills and knowledge and an encouraging environment for active participation in the economic, social and political development activities in the community. In this context, this book has tried to explore the rural people`s understanding of development, the modality of development that they prefer and their reflections on the development activities carried out in the remote villages of Nepal by the development actors. The findings of this study will be useful to the academicians, policy makers and development workers to understand, formulate and implement local development policies/programs according to the people`s aspirations. ····· 10361113519

Contemporary literatures have however glossed over the facts of survival of class-divided production and mercantile agencies and the phenomenon of multiplicity of exchange systems pervading the continuum of informal to formal marketplaces. Such a dismissal is not warranted. A set of specific patterns of inherited commercial relations being cemented among interacting agencies as well as the contemporaneous deficient state of marketplace infrastructure have bearings on the arbitrage activity leading to spread in prices. In this sequel monograph, we analyze cross-section data of the year 1991-92 to describe the patterns and characteristics of marketing of paddy and jute crops in Purnia (north Bihar, India).

Past studies have indicated the existence of a relationship between strategic planning and firm performance and mainly utilized financial performance indicators. However, the main focus has been on the direct relationship between strategic planning and performance without taking cognizance of the fact that there are other factors that could affect this relationship. This book recognizes that the attainment of the strategic planning intermediate outcomes and people involvement in the strategic planning process could influence the realization of the anticipated strategic planning results. The direct relationship between strategic planning and firm performance, the relationship between strategic planning and intermediate outcomes and the moderating effect of worker participation on these relationships is examined. The analysis could be useful to managers who practice strategic planning on the need for effective handling of the strategic planning process for company success. ····· 10361113403

Over 100000 persons die every year in India in road accidents. In addition over 1.5 million are hospitalized and 7 million suffer minor injuries. The estimated annual loss is Rs. 550 billion i.e. 3% of GDP. In Delhi pedestrians form 50% of road accident casualties compared to 8.5% of the national average. As pedestrians people face several problems. There is practically no space to walk on. The footpaths have been encroached upon for various activities.

In comparison with WHO growth standards, 30% children were obese, but 69% mothers wrongly perceived their child`s weight. Mothers of overweight sons had more wrong perception than those with overweight daughters. Perception that children were underweight was associated with maternal BMI. Child`s weight was found unrelated to feeding practices followed by mothers. But, there were associations between different subscales of feeding practices & family characteristics. Despite mounting public health concern about childhood obesity in India, most of surveyed mothers were not concerned about their children`s weight, and many did not perceive their overweight children any different from their peers. This may have implications for interventions that rely on acknowledging child`s overweight as a first step to change. ····· 10361113294

Firstly, this study corroborates the widely-recognized idea that immigration often results in women`s greater empowerment, independence, and egalitarianism in relation to the gendered division of labour and decision-making power (male/female, couple/parents). Secondly, this study also explores why female immigrants tend to experience an increase in religious capital and a sense of ecumenism.I explore other impacts of the transnational socialization that Bangladeshi immigrant women experience in St. John`s, such as an increased awareness and knowledge about Islam, and the restoration of religious practices in an effort to form a universal Islamic community. ····· 10361113250
