ABSTRACT: Social exclusion and unequal development assuming an intimate relation between the social form of relations and the corresponding character of economic development is not only significant from the point of view of the constitutionally recognized excluded categories and classes of people but also has in its scope the cause of other disadvantaged segments of population. It implies that the processes such as liberalization, privatization and globalization, which are expected to ensure equity, parity and fair competitions, are in fact at crossroads due to the conditions that have emerged contrary to the expectations. Resultantly the chances of social exclusion for the socially marginalized disadvantaged and disabled, also including physically and mentally disabled have increased considerably. Though this paper does not deal with constitutionally identified categories like SCs and STs as exclusive categories but looks at disabled children as a form of exclusive category, who and whose families due to stigma attached with them are forced to suffer from social exclusion. This paper, a maiden attempt while highlighting, the plight of these children and their families also make a strong case that they be extended the benefit of inclusion policy and thus save these children from their continuous exclusion.

While modern societies face growing concern about global environmental issues, developing countries are experiencing complex, serious and fast-growing pollution problems of their own. The potent combination of industrialization, urban development and mass consumption trends is exacerbated by foreign companies operating with little regard for the impact on the local environment. Environmental pollution is more than just a health issue; it is a wider social issue in that pollution has the potential to destroy homes and communities. Pollution problems are also closely tied to the mode of development in developing countries. Despite this, many developing countries either have not developed environmental pollution control measures, or have not provided adequate implementation structures to ensure that policies are effective. During the period of rapid economic growth after the Second World War, Japan experienced a variety of terrible environmental problems on a scale unprecedented in the world. These environmental problems can be attributed to the prevailing emphasis at the time on economic growth and profits at the expense of public health. For this reason, the government was unwilling to pursue environmental strategies. Worsening environmental problems led to the emergence of numerous victims’ groups and turned the tide of public opinion, so that governments at the prefectural and national level were forced to act. Eventually, after much trial and error, effective strategies for dealing with environmental pollution were put in place and as a result the quality of the environment began to improve. By describing Japan’s experiences with respect to the problems caused by the initial reluctance to address environmental issues, as well as the success of subsequent environmental initiatives, it is hoped that we can help to prevent worsening health problems in developing countries and promote sound and healthy social development. Pollution may be defined as an undesirable change in the physical, chemical or biological characteristics of air, water and land that may be harmful to human life and other animals, living condition, industrial processes and cultural assets. Pollution can be natural or man-made. The agents that pollute are known as pollutants (Trivedi & Jain, 2007).

ABSTRACT: Safety and seclusion features interrelated to RFID are, though, ahead noteworthy significance as the nonexistence of good security and retreat is moderately accountable for investment back the great level accomplishment that are requisite for the earlier revealed RFID request. Since RFID is a wireless structure devoid of any usual safety controls, label can be interpreted, customized, influenced, or immobilized with no substantial, and so visible, contact. The isolation issues have been recurrently glorified in the medium by assured persons and cluster that are beside the use of RFID, in meticulous in buyer products, as they imagine it to disobey their isolation. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tools assure remuneration that ensues from being capable to recognize and follow individual goods in profitable supply chains. This assist in account management, decrease robbery, can be used in concurrence with other antenna technology to spot dented goods, and promises cost reductions. The purpose of this manuscript is to categorize impending threats to profitable supply chains associated to the use of RFID technology.

ABSTRACT: Language is the most important tool of communication but its careless use can be dangerous. According to Jonathan Swift "Proper words in proper places make the true definition of style” [1]. Infact, words are one of our main means of adjusting to all the situations in life. The better control we have over words, the more successful our adjustment is likely to be. Often, it is said that "Colors fade, temples crumble, empires fall, but wise words endure” [2]. This paper attempts to focus on some common errors of words, grammar etc. with some good examples.

ABSTRACT: Preliminary investigation on roads in Jimeta, Adamawa State, Nigeria reveals that there appears to be no reliable and sustainable arrangement for road infrastructure maintenance in the State and that infrastructure finance arrangement appears to be one of the key problems. This study was then set to establish the state of Jimeta roads, need for road infrastructure maintenance and the best finance option that can be utilised. Data collection was done by updating the Jimeta Street Guide Map and preparing an inventory of the observed conditions. Questionnaires were administered on 240 residents of the roads selected by simple random sampling technique while 20 infrastructure officials of the State and LGA offices ranked suggested infrastructure options. The percentage statistic was used to analyze the data obtained, while the mean was used to evaluate the finance option proposed. The findings of the study are that about 80% of the roads in the study area need maintenance, and that a hybrid of Public-Private Partnership road infrastructure finance option is best suited for their finance and was recommended.
