Abstract:
This study evaluated marital satisfaction among the postgraduate students in a public university
in Malaysia. It also explored the factors influencing marital satisfaction. The sample consisted of
132 married students. The instrument used in this research was ENRICH Marital Satisfaction
Scale. Results of the study indicated that gender, race, teachers and non teachers, single and dual
income earners, age, age difference between spouse, number of children, length of marriage and
household income did not show significant impact on marital satisfaction. Equalitarian roles,
conflict resolution, leisure activities, sexual relationship and religious orientation were found to
play a significant role in influencing marital satisfaction with the r value of above .50. The other
factors; personality, communication, financial management, children and parenting and family
and friends were also found to be significant but the r value is below .50.
Keyword: marital satisfaction, marriage, family, counselling, relationship, spouse.

ABSTRACT:
The study evaluates sustainability of rural water supply schemes in Oke-Ogun area of Oyo
State, Nigeria. The objectives of the study covers examination of socio-economic characteristics
of residents, identification of different types of water supply schemes, assessment of water
supply schemes, evaluation of sustainability of water schemes, and factors affecting water
scheme in the study area. Data were generated through random administration of questionnaires
among 1,193 residents. It was further analyzed using descriptive method and sustainability
index.
The study further revealed problems of finance, bad community leadership, lack of
cooperation, frequent change in government, high cost of materials and equipment, and poor
participation of people in the planning and implementation of water facilities.
It was recommended that in order to achieve sustainability of rural water supply projects,
there is need to ensure effective organization, planning and implementation strategies through
the active participation of rural community members. The study further recommends the
partnership approach in addition to community approach in the planning and management of
rural water supply facility in the study area.

Abstract:
Understanding, predicting, and improving employee behaviors are major aspects of a
manager’s job. Managers often try to influence work-related attitudes in order to create
behavioral changes, relying on moderating variables such as the importance of the attitude, its
specificity, its accessibility, whether social pressures exist between attitudes, and whether
employees have direct experience with the attitude to impact what employees behaviorally do.
This attitude-behavior relationship asserts that attitudes significantly predict future behavior by
taking the previously mentioned moderating variables into account (Ajzen, 2001, 1996; Kraus,
1995; Sutton, 1998). To actually implement their decisions to influence employee attitudes,
managers often enact various organizational and personal influence tactics. Most, if not all of
these decisions are made under uncertainty and the effectiveness of some of these decisions
remains questionable even after implementation. An alternative to the previously-mentioned
active engagement process is the use of sensitivity analysis in which the user is allowed to play
“what if,” simulated games with a model to better understand the model’s relationships and
inherent tradeoffs (Fischoff, Slovic, & Lichtenstein, 1979; Liberatore & Nydick, 2003; Walker &
Fox-Rushby, 2001; Wallace, 2000).

Abstract:
In rural economy, Punjab is dominating as two third of its total population and 65% of its total
workers live in villages. Further 42.2% of the total workers in Punjab are engaged in agriculture
(cultivators and agricultural labours). Their share in total rural workers, as per reliable sources is
57.2%. Since the early 2007-08, the yield of major agricultural crops has been experiencing
stagnation. The additional increments in yield are rising at a very high marginal cost. As a
consequence, per hectare net return is declining and this is the real crisis of Punjab agriculture.
The annual trend growth rate of per hectare return, over variable costs from wheat and paddy
(combined) was -2.18% during this period. In this case of cotton, it was -14.24% per annum
during the same period [Ghuman 2001].A depleting water table, the ever-rising use of fertilizers
and pesticides, over-mechanization, declining fertility of soil and almost stagnant minimum
support prices (in real terms) are major reasons for a shrinking of farmers income from
agriculture. Along with the shrinking of income, the labour absorption capacity of agriculture is
sharply decline. The employment of labour in the rearing of major crops in Punjab declined from
48 crore man days during the triennium ending 2006-07 to 48 crore man-days during the
triennium ending to this period.

Abstract:
Among the different forms of capital flows, academics and policymakers, talk about foreign
direct investment (FDI) the most. This is because of several benefits of FDI and its importance in
the world economy vis-à-vis other forms of capital flows. In the past fifteen years, FDI has been
the dominant form of capital flow in the global economy, even for developing countries. FDI
now have turned up their route towards emerging economies. Emerging markets are clearly
outperformed by developed countries, and the disparities among countries are stark. While the
world average was $115, it was $505 for developed countries and $49 for emerging markets .The
paper studies the changes in the pattern of FDI and which have been diverted towards emerging
economies.
Keywords: Foreign direct investment, Emerging economies, India, China.

ABSTRACT:
Nowadays, tourism is always regarded as an important means to benefit local communities. The
success of the developed countries in expanding tourism industry has inspired many developing
countries Based this article attempts to track the progress of tourism and hospitality
development. The Government and private sector had invested a lot of money in providing
public infrastructure and facilities to boost the the industry. Despite the massive amount of
money spent on tourism and hotel industry development, no study had been conducted to relate
industry spending with the impact of these developments towards the local economy and socio-
culture. The main focus of the study is to explore and identify economic, environmental and
socio-cultural impacts of tourism and hotel industry development. So here we have studied
regarding the society awareness and their attitude or belief in respect of their contribution
Keywords: tourism development, economic opportunity, benefit.

ABSTRACT:
This paper presents a new voltage regulation system multi converter dynamic voltage restorer
(MC-DVR), capable of simultaneous compensation for voltage in Multibus/multifeeder systems.
In this configuration two voltage-source converters (VSC) exist. The system can be applied to
adjacent feeders to compensate for supply-voltage on the main feeder and full compensation of
supply- voltage imperfections on the other feeders. In the proposed configuration, all converters
are connected back to back on the dc side and share a common dc-link capacitor. Therefore,
power can be transferred from one feeder to adjacent feeders to compensate for sag. The
performance of the MC-DVR as well as the adopted control algorithm is illustrated by
simulation. The results obtained in MATLAB/SIMULINK on a two-bus/two-feeder system show
the effectiveness of the proposed configuration.
Keywords: Power quality, Distribution feeder, Custom power device, MC-DVR, Voltage sag,
VSC, DVR.

ABSTRACT:
India has widely been recognized as a success story of globalization. Over the past two decades,
it has moved to be one of the major drivers of the world economic growth; emerging middle
class consumers, high technology exports and impressive growth rate of real GDP(Gross
Domestic Product) have been instrumental for attracting foreign investors. However, the
impressive growth of India has not been successful in bringing enough progress in the major
weaknesses of the economy. As per the data of 2004-05, still 28% of the population lie below
the poverty line, there is only marginal reduction in the absolute number of this poverty
parameter; from 320 million of1993-94 to 302 million in 2004-05.The failure of stupendous
economic growth of India in including economically and socially deprived section is reflected in
its marginal achievement in Human Development. As per the National Family Health Survey-
3(NHFS-3) nearly about 46% of the children in the age group of 0 to 3 years suffer from
malnutrition in 2005-06.
Translating economic success into the inclusive growth which will be reflected through human
development and improvement in the quality of life of the poor will require public policies to be
pruned aiming explicitly at broadening the distribution of benefits from growth and global
integration .
Key Words: Globalization, social sector, policy issues, Human development, stagnating
agriculture.

Abstract:
Indian economy has grown encouragingly in the last few decades. The growth was undoubtedly
encouraging and eminent. All the sectors of the economy have witnessed a remarkable growth
barring the agriculture sector. During the last six decades of planning, the economy has seen
many ups and downs. The economy has shown resilience amid the different scenarios and has
performed exuberantly. Indian GDP growth has recently touched a peak of 9.6 percent and has
illustrated its resilience in the midst of the world financial crisis and is again on the path of
growth after a moderation in its performance. To sustain and further accelerate this growth
requires attention to some bottlenecks in the economy. One such factor is the social sector. The
sector is at a concerning level and needs attention not only for further economic growth but also
for inclusive growth.

Abstract:
A Purchasing decisions are often strongly influenced by people who the consumer knows and
trusts. Moreover, many online shoppers tend to wait for the opinions of early adopters before
making a purchase decision to reduce the risk of buying a new product. Web-based social
communities, actively fostered by E-commerce companies, allow consumers to share their
personal experiences by writing reviews, rating reviews, and chatting among trusting members.
E-commerce companies have recently started to capture data on the social interaction between
consumers in their websites, with the potential objective of understanding and leveraging social
influence in customers' purchase decision making to improve customer relationship management
and increase sales. In this paper, we present an overview of the impact of social sites influence in
E-commerce decision making to provide guidance to researchers and companies who have an
interest in related issues. We provide a summary for social sites impact on E-commerce decision
making.
Keywords: E-commerce, Social Networking, online business, consumer interaction, social sites.

Abstract:
In the past few years, service sector has become the most important and dynamic sectors in most
of the countries. The basic nature of services has changed with time. Once considered
untradeable, technology has made the services tradable. This paper is an attempt to get an
overview of the growth of service sector and trade in services globally with special reference to
India. Regional distribution of trade is also looked into. All the data point to the fact that India is
positioned to grow in this sector but for that she will have to identify strategies to create, develop
and strengthen India’s comparative advantage in specific services in the light of current WTO
provisions.

ABSTRACT:
In this study we aim to evaluate the effects of globalization with the precision and non-precision
factors on non-oil export of Iran .The underlying objective of the paper is to provide support for
a model that predicts these effects with the GMDH-neural network method as an instrument for
complicated non- linear trends especially with the limited observations. We used International
Trade Integration of Industry (IIT) as an index of globalization. The results indicate the
globalization variables have much more effects on non-oil export in globalization process.
