Jaago of Punjab: Tradition and Transition

The paper aims to look at the oral tradition of Jaago of Punjab in its socio-cultural context and how the ceremony coming down since ages, represents the Punjabi communal identity. It is performed by the womenfolk before a wedding takes place. The culture of Punjab is enriched by a number of such traditions and rituals which depict the traditional pattern of life including the changes that have taken place because of constant modernization and urbanization. An attempt is made in this paper to show how the ritual loses its motifs when performed in a different space. The ceremony is still a part of Punjabi Wedding Rituals but has been transformed with the change in time, context and space.

समकालीन भारतीय समाज में महिलाओं में अपराध का एक विष्लेषणात्मक अध्ययन

सारांष- महिलाओं के विरुद्ध अपराध आज विष्वभर में गंभीर समस्या बन चुका है। पिछले कुछ दषकों में महिलाओं की स्थिति में अनेक परिवर्तन हुए हैं। वैदिक काल से लेकर मध्य काल और वर्तमान काल तक महिला को विभिन्न चरणों सेे होकर गुजरना पड़ा है। आज महिलाएं भले ही सामाजिक, राजनीतिक, चिकित्सकीय, अंतरिक्ष, आर्थिक, प्रौद्योगिकी आदि क्षेत्रों में बढ़ चढ़ कर अपनी भागीदारी निभा रही हैं। फिर भी महिलाओं के खिलाफ हिंसक अपराधों को वित्तीय, आपराधिक उत्पीड़न, उपेक्षित विवाह, भावनात्मक, शारीरिक, मानसिक और यौन शोषण के अनेक रूपों में देखा जा सकता है। प्रतिदिन देष के किसी न किसी भाग में महिलाओं के साथ बलात्कार, घरेलू हिंसा, यौन उत्पीड़न, वेष्यावृति, छेड़छाड़, एसिड अटैक, कन्या भ्रूण हत्या, अपहरण, जबरन विवाह और दहेज हत्या जैसी खौफनाक खबरें आती रहती हैं। अतः कहा जा सकता है कि महिलाओं के विरुद्ध होने वाले इन सभी अपराधों को रोकने के लिए सरकार को ठोस कदम उठाने चाहिए। सरकार को महिलाओं की षिक्षा की ओर विषेष ध्यान देना चाहिए। जिससे उन्हे अपने अधिकारों के प्रति जागरुक किया जाये और अपने खिलाफ हो रही हिंसा के लिए सही समय पर आवाज उठा सके

हेमवती नन्दन बहुगुणा गढ़वाल केन्द्रीय विश्वविद्यालय के बिड़ला परिसर में अध्ययनरत् बी॰एड॰ प्रशिक्षणार्थीयों के मानवाधिकार जागरूकता का अध्ययन

मानवाधिकार के बिना मनुष्य अपने अस्तित्व के विषय में सोचना असम्भव है। मानवाधिकार प्रत्येक मनुष्य को नागरिक के रूप में राजनैतिक अधिकार, सामाजिक, सांस्कृतिक और आर्थिक अधिकारों की स्वतन्त्रता प्रदान करता है। प्रस्तुत शोध का उद्देश्य बी0 एड0 प्रशिक्षणार्थियों में मानवाधिकारों के प्रति जागरूकता का अध्ययन उनके लिंग, वर्ग के आधार पर अध्ययन करना है। शोध, वर्णनात्मक (सर्वेक्षण) विधि पर आधारित है। जनसंख्या के रूप में हेमवती नन्दन बहुगुणा गढ़वाल केन्द्रीय विश्वविद्यालय के बिड़ला परिसर में अध्ययनरत् सभी बी॰एड॰ प्रशिक्षणार्थियों को सम्मिलित किया गया है। साधारण यादृच्छिक प्रतिदर्शन विधि द्वारा 100 प्रशिक्षणार्थियों को न्यादर्श के रूप में चयन किया गया। डाॅ विशाल सूद तथा डाॅ आरती आनन्दद्वारा निर्मित मानवाधिकार जागरूकता परीक्षण का प्रयोग कर आंकड़ों का संकलन किया तथा सांख्यिकी विश्लेषण के लिए मध्यमान, मानक विचलन तथा टी परीक्षण का प्रयोग किया गया है। प्रदत्तों के विश्लेषणोपरांत निष्कर्षतः बी॰एड॰ प्रशिक्षणार्थियो में मानवाधिकारों के जागरूकता के प्रति अध्ययन करने पर छात्र-छात्राओं में लिंग, वर्ग के आधार पर अन्तर पाया गया है

Life Behind the Monolith Culture of the Chakhesang Community

The Nagas depend on their history through oral narration due to the unavailability of their written script.  Like any other communities in the world, they have their own way of preserving their tradition, that is, verbal narration and erecting monoliths.  The people believe that the monolith they have erected will be the living proof of the glory, the living history to the coming generations.  The monoliths that are found among the communities of the Nagas have their distinct features.  They are rough, shapeless, pictorial or script engraved on the monolith are not found and the size and shape vary.  The purpose of erecting monoliths among the Nagas may differ from one community to another community like some community erect monolith for rituals, some to show prosperity and get recognition from the society, some to signify death and birth etc.  Whatever may be the reason, the monoliths that survive for ages till today is acting a living tale to tell the people about the past life.  The monolith reflects the past life of the community.  This article is intended to study how monoliths play a pivotal role in (re)discovering and (re)structuring their past.  The article is based on the personal fieldwork undertaken for the research purpose

Significance of Digital Humanities for Libraries & Information Professionals

In this informative world, everyone has realised that only printed material is not enough for acquisition and dissemination of information. Increasing usage of digital resources has necessitated that the Library professionals should acquire knowledge and skills of digital tools and techniques. Digital Humanities help to study analytical use of digital resources in the humanities and analysis of their applications. The main aim of this paper is to explain the relation of Library & information professionals with the digital humanities. It examines challenges faced by the librarians in implementing digital humanities and also helps them to evolve digital humanities with their skill, knowledge and experience. It also helps librarians to discover effective ways to support digital humanities education and research along with their effective usage in the libraries for the purpose of providing quality services to the users

Mapping of Agriculture Research in Bangladesh: A Scientometric Analysis

This study counts the number of the agricultural research conducted ingeographic area of Bangladeshduring the year 1976 to 2018, indexed in BanglaJOL. It attempts to examine the research performance of all agriculture research publications by Bangladeshi scientists. The BanglaJOL was used to collect the data to find the publication produced in the geographic area of Bangladesh. Different types of journals were examined and 4119 agriculture research papers were found. The research result was made on several parameters: publication outputs, subject categories and major journals, author productivity, geographic and institutional distribution of publications, and keyword-density analysis. From the result, the publications get relative growth rate, ranking of agriculture research journals, doubling time, leading institution, most prolific Bangladeshi institutions such as author productivity, authorship collaboration, degree of collaboration, collaboration index and collaborative coefficient, major collaborating partner countries and keyword density analysis for highly researched keywords.

Additive Weibull Log Logistic Distribution: Properties & Application

We introduce a new lifetime distribution with six parameters. This distribution is called the additive Weibull log logistic (AWLL) distribution based on the additive Weibull-generated family of distributions and the log logistic distribution as a baseline distribution. Important linear expansion forms for the cdf, pdf and reliability are obtained. Some statistical properties of the AWLL distribution including moments, incomplete moments, mean deviation, mode, median, skewness, and kurtosis are studied. Explicit expressions for the quantile function, moment-generating function and order statistics are obtained. The estimation of model parameters is discussed, using maximum likelihood method and the simulation study is conducted. The importance of the AWLL distribution is demonstrated through real data set compared with several lifetime distributions.
