Human beings are born equal in dignity and rights. These moral claims are articulated and formulated in what is today known as human rights. Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethic origion, colour, religion, language or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without discrimination. The origin of human rights may be found both in Greek philosophy and the various world religions. In the Age of Enlightenment the concept of human rights emerged as an explicit category. Origin of the idea of human rights in India though the Rigveda Perod. The term Human Rights refer to those rights are considered universal to humanity, regardless of citizenship, residency status, ethnicity, gender, or other considerations. The present topic is a burning issue and has a great significance in the world especially the developing nations like India. The experience of the last five decades in the area of human rights has become a matter of deep concern. The early history of human rights movement can be traced from 13th century. India was closely and actively participating in all these developments, Finally Government of India introduced the Human Rights Commission Bill in the Lok Sabha on 14th May 1992.

This research intends to explore the planning of featured industry of talent cultivation for national universities and colleges of technology in Taiwan. This research is conducted through current status analyses from each itemized subsidy plan of Ministry of Education towards national universities and colleges of technology; in addition, the industrial analyses broken down by fields as well as the definitions for each field by professional counseling surveys are also applied in the process. Moreover, from the main themes and focal points for each school’s development and the recommendations for industrial human resource cultivation, this research manages to study each processing item of the plan for each field and corresponding funding allocations. Thus, this research derives the development direction and resource requirements of foresight talent cultivation for national universities and colleges of technology in Taiwan. And ensuing promotion and implementation can then be planned accordingly.

Motorised two-wheelers are cost effective fuel-efficient system to manage occupational compulsions and time bound responsibilities but on the other hand they account for maximum traffic accident deaths. Bike riders are exposed to prolonged static posture causing significant angular deviations at all most all joints of the body as well as lumbar angle (L1-L5). All these postural alterations are contributory factors to stress and musculo-skeletal symptoms. Although the vibration remains within the OSHA limit, the vibration map and pain map of a two-wheeler rider’s were observed to have strong correlations. Varied emotional and psycho-social components contribute to cumulative stress among them. Bike riding also involves visual acuity, which alters critical flicker frequency of the riders indicating immense visual stress and subsequent adaptation. Proper stress management, ergonomic intervention in engineering revisions of the two wheeler design may contribute to reduce chances of accident and ensure safety, wellbeing and performance of the riders.

This study aims to compile teaching materials designed for students to gain hands-on experience in energy conservation and carbon reduction, also to create maneuverable teaching tools to simulate renewable energy operation. In order to achieve the set teaching goals, meetings of experts were summoned to verify and revise related literature as groundwork for the development of teaching tools. To complete our teaching materials, we digitized and posted them on education network under energy conservation and carbon reduction so students can learn and assemble teaching tools online as well. As a result of the integration of classroom instruction and the education computer network in information sharing among the students have become prevalent. The results revealed the following: 1. the hands-on experience obtained on energy topics at the teacher's training camp helps to raise the energy consciousness of the college students. 2. the attitude, subjective norm and conscious behavior control of the college students will affect their behavioral intention on energy conservation and carbon reduction. 3. Hands-on experience with maneuverable teaching tools helps the elementary school students with their energy perception. 4. Learning from experience rather than knowledge from academic instruction tends to attract more learning interest from the students.
