This paper looks at the issues faced by the students of Kashmir owing to ongoing armed conflict broke out nearly two years after holding of the state elections of 1987, which many believed were blatantly rigged to ensure defeat of candidates of the Muslim United Front so as to facilitate win of NC-Congress candidates. The conflict resulted in killings of more than one lakh people in J&K. The armed conflict resulted in regular curfews, crackdowns, search operations, arrest, torture, rape, custodial killings, and disappearances of youth, firing, pellet shelling and the execution of draconian laws like PSA, AFSPA and POTA which in turn gave birth to different kinds of violation. According to wire service, Kashmir News Observer, in an affidavit filed before the Supreme court of India, the Ministry of Home affairs has revealed that the highest number of incidents of violence were recorded in 1995 and lowest in 2003. In this paper, we chose 400 adolescent students using simple random sampling from Kashmir valley for examining the impact of armed conflict and abrogation of Article 370 on students life. Recently, Government of India bifurcated Jammu and Kashmir state into the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. A number of writ petitions were filed in Supreme court of India challenging the abrogation of Article 370. The study reveals that issues like joblessness, identity crises, mental stress etc., are all offshoots of violent conflict. The respondents under study in majority were against the abrogation of Article 370 and believed that it will increase the differences between the Government of India and the people of Jammu and Kashmir. The group discussion revealed many painful stories. The people in group discussion revealed that handful of corrupt people who had no sympathy with their mother land or people of the area spoiled the image of Kashmiri people for their personal benefits. The people in power were enjoying life because of their dual policy. The current study was based on Kashmir, it opens a broader debate of the impact of violent conflict on students worldwide.

The field of Discourse Analysis (DA) establishes as object of study the production of meaning effects attributed by social subjects who use language and produce truths. Audiovisual communication can develop a fruitful relationship with AD by problematizing the role of discourses in the production of social identities, because the rhetoric of prejudice is one of several ways of forming consciences and identities. Based on the premises that involve ethical issues in audiovisual communication, this article aims to reflect on the representativeness of gays in Brazilian television. Based on semantics, the partial results allow us to consider that television contributes to the propagation of a distorted image of reality, whose deconstruction reveals representations that value the heteronormative and homophobic social universe.

The world today is going through a wave which is ruthless, restless and has made the younger section of the society suffer from frustration. Globalization has the potentials to transform the workplace into a centre for sexual harassment as satisfaction in workplace has long been associated with some elements of mental health along with the stability of income. Eventually, all pervasive violence breaks out and they remain immune of legal battles. Thus the process of global change results in violence. It has a deep impact on mental health and well being of the people leading to violence and conflict. One gets violent and overpowers to victims when the victim is physically weaker. In the act of violence, people are least aware of the fact that they are committing violence. Both males and females fall prey to this sexual aberration and violence. Therefore, a critical study on violence is required and its awareness is necessary among the people, with this backdrop, the researcher has taken up the present study to understand the interaction effect of gender and sector in perceiving the psychosocial parameters (stress, energy, general health, perceived health, superior support, subordinate level, organization support, work overload, conflict, job demands and CWB) and workplace violence dimensions (bullying, actively hostile behaviour, illegitimate pressure, humiliation and discrimination & sexual harassment) among employees belonging to four different organizations. The findings of the study revealed that both males and females do differ significantly in perceiving psychosocial parameters at their workplaces.

The discovery of the antimagnetic field was not the end, but the beginning of a chain of new insights into the unknown structure of the universe by Naim Krasniqi. His innovative work with magnetic motors, displaying unique and previously unthinkable problems, had inevitably caused him to become preoccupied with the atom. Since existing knowledge was deficient for his innovative project, he was forced to have an in-depth understanding of the structure of the atom and the domains within it. Such study work made him discover both the anti-electrostatic field in the proton and the anti-electrostatic field in the electron, discoveries that made him see, understand, and otherwise explain the reality of the micro-universe. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to present these discoveries of the aforementioned new fields in the atom, following the combined narrative, theoretical, and explicative form.
Keywords: the antimagnetic field, atom, electron, proton, neutron, the anti-electrostatic field of proton, the anti-electrostatic field of electron.

The present paper contributes to the study of Coining of words in Manipuri, a Tibeto-Burman language. Coining of words in Manipuri is the creation or invention of new words or phrases in which they are formed for a new semantic representation. This creation of new words helps a language to develop new technologies. Manipuri has a good numbers of coined words in their lexicon.

The study investigated the effect of guided discovery teaching technique on students’ academic achievement in machine shop practice in Rivers State Universities. Two research questions and corresponding hypotheses guided the study. Quasi-experimental design, specifically, the non-randomized control group design involving two intact classes were used. The population was all students of Mechanical/Metal Work Technology while stratified random sampling technique was used to select 53 final year students of Mechanical/Metal Work Technology of Rivers State Universities. Metal-Work Performance Test (MWPT) instrument was developed, validated and used for data collection. Reliability of the instrument was 0.85. Mean and standard deviation were used to analyze data collected in respect to the research questions while ANCOVA was used to test the null hypotheses. Findings of the study revealed that guided discovery teaching technique has significant effect on student’s achievement in drilling and turning operation. This is evident in the mean achievement of students taught with the guided discovery teaching technique in drilling and turning operation x = 31.85 and 33.32. While students taught with conventional teaching technique had a mean achievement of x = 24.75 and 25.58. It implies that from the findings, that there is need for teachers of machine shop practice to employ the use of guided discovery teaching technique in teaching as it proves more effective in improving student’s achievement in drilling and turning operation. It is recommended that lecturers of Mechanical/Metal Work in Rivers State Universities should be given on-the-job training opportunities such as short-term courses, seminars and workshop to enable them update their knowledge; this will help them to constantly keep abreast with the ever-changing scientific knowledge and various modern methods of teaching technology subjects.
