Inequalities for the Derivative of a Polynomial
No full textInequalities of Bernstein and Markov have been the starting point of a
considerable literature in approximation theory and our research shall be
centered on these inequalities. The problems of obtaining exact new bounds, the
improvements and generalizations of some older results for the maximum of
P'(z) over a unit disk are still of considerable interest. In view of this fact and
that of many as yet unsettled questions this subject continues in an active field of
research.
The aim of this dissertation is to present a survey of certain results
concerning the bounds for the maximum modulus of the derivative of an th n
degree polynomial over a disk with or without the restriction on the zeros of the
polynomial
Job Involvement, Sense of Participation and Job Satisfaction in J&K Bank Ltd
No full textJob involvement and job satisfaction has a special significance to the banking industry, which has become a vital instrument in the economic development of the country. Until nationalization in 1969, the pace of growth in the banking industry, both in terms of business and branch expansion was considered low. After nationalization, this sector embarked upon development programmes. There are both qualitative and quantitative dimensions to the changes that have taken place in banking industry. The growth of human resources in banking industry, especially after nationalization of major commercials banks has been posing the biggest problem in human resource management. Banks are basically human organizations which employ large number of people in the society so as to fulfill their own organizational and national objectives. The most important resource of a service organization like a bank is its employees. So the principle task before bank management is considered to identify the conditions under which employees feel very much involved and satisfied and thus making better utilization of its human resources to the optimum for better results.
J&K Bank Ltd. is one of the most important private sector organizations of our state and it has progressed by leaps and bounds since it was established in 1938. It has made significant progress in almost all spheres of activities particularly in boosting of economic-cum-regional conditions of J&K State. It has helped a lot to the entrepreneurs of this valley in setting up their income generating units. Similarly the bank with its expansion scheme has played an effective role in generating employment opportunities both direct and indirect. The number of employees of the bank has increased to 7749 in 2010, from 1450 at the end of 1980. Similarly, there has been a spectacular expansion in the branch network over the last three decades as against 6 branches in 1950; the number of branches had gone to 520 including 100 branches operating in commercial centres outside the state. Keeping in view the spectacular expansion and the extraordinary role played by the banking industry in the fast developing economy of our state it is very much of social and academic need to investigate job involvement and sense of participation viz-a-viz job satisfaction of employees of this bank in order to find out its causative factors and its influence on the workers behaviour. Hence it is in this backdrop that the present study is taken to provide basic information on the subject. This study attempts to define issues, to raise questions and to present a general picture emerging out of these issues, and the possible answers.
The study explores possible effect of job involvement and sense of participation on job satisfaction of two categories of bank employees, i.e. clerks and managers.With a view to substantiating the given hypotheses, the research methodology adopted was as follows.
Data for the study was collected from primary as well as secondary sources. The primary data was collected by administering pre-tested questionnaire for the purpose of interviewing clerical and managerial personnel of the bank. The questions which were reported as inappropriate and difficult to understand, or which had poor responses, were reframed. Further, during the pre-testing stage, respondents were found hesitant to respond to open and direct questions, but highly responsive to indirect structured questionnaire. As such, it was considered expedient to use a well structured interview schedule, which could be used for statistical analysis as well

planners and administrators throughout most states in
India. Most students have the desire to be successful in school;
yet many do not know how (Heacox, 1991). Moreover, among
children, many fail to reach the academic level of which they are
capable and quite often their school performance is constantly
lower than that of their ability peers (Terman and Oden, 1947;
Burt, 1962; Pringle, 1970; Whitemore, 1980; Gallagher,1985).
Underachievement appears to be a common phenomenon in the
India’s educational system. In spite of an increased focus on
education, a large proportion of people in many countries are
still being denied its full benefits. In developing countries it is
essential that all its resources are fully utilized because a large
number of pupils suffer from poor achievement. It is the
responsibility of every country to take the necessary steps to
ensure their students maximize their academic potential.
Many empirical studies based on scientific investigation
have shown that pupils of superior intelligence can be
underachievers, while some people with average intelligence
achieve more than what is expected of them. In the achievement

related areas, need for achievement and study habits have been
found to be the significant variables, which contributes to better
performances in people. McClelland et.al, 1953: have found
significant correlation between academic performance and need
achievement; Jain (1967), has found that bright achievers were
characterized by better study habits and higher achievement
motivation than dull achievers; Shivappa (1980) has found that
study habits and educational aspiration are the positive
correlates of academic achievement; Singh (1984), has found
that high achieving adolescents had significantly better study
habits than middle and low achievers; Kapoor (1987) has found
that high achievers had better study habits as compared to the
average and the low achievers; Davanesan and Paul (1990),
have found that there is a significant and positive relationship
between the achievement-motivation and scholastic
achievement of higher secondary students; Harikrishnan,
(1992), has found that academic achievement is positively
related with achievement-motivation and socio-economic status
of students; Alam (2006) has find out that positive relationship
exists between achievement motivation and academic
achievement of Muslims and non-Muslim children. Sarwar et al
(2009) showed that students who have better scores on studyorientation
tend to have better academic achievement.

development. Classroom guidance along with individual and
small-group counselling, may contribute directly to student
success in the classroom and beyond. There may be significant
value in further experimental studies testing the effect of
counselling intervention on underachievers. In the light of
previous studies conducted on counselling, the investigator
sought to identify underachievers and their problems, assist
them through counselling and analyze the effect of counselling
on their scholastic achievement
Assessment of Level of Pesticide use and their Likely Impact on the Amphibian Populations in a Rural Agro-Ecosystem of Kashmir
No full textAmphibians are among the planet’s most important and unique
group of vertebrates, containing over 6,400 known species.
Amphibians (frogs, salamanders, caecilians) are diverse group of animals
that occur throughout the world and reach their greatest diversity in tropical
regions. They are important components of aquatic habitats and form an
integral part of their ecosystems affecting nutrient cycling and also serving
as high quality prey for many species. Amphibians occupy an important
position in ecosystems, being both as predator and prey. They have a unique
life style requiring both aquatic and terrestrial habitats and act as important
bio-monitors and bio-indicators of ecosystem health. Amphibians play
diverse roles in natural ecosystems and their decline may cause other species
to become threatened or may undermine aspects of ecosystem functions
(While et al., 2006). Recently population size of many amphibian species
has experienced declines on all six continents and in some cases extinction
of amphibians has occurred. Although localized die-offs of amphibians were
recorded before 1970, major declines were documented in temperate areas
beginning in the 1970’s and mass mortalities of amphibians in tropics have
been described more recently. Many declines and extinctions have also
occurred in protected wilderness areas as national parks and reserves were
no obvious cause was identified (Lips, 1998; Pounds and Crump, 1994).
