Abstract:
The present study is on
value orientation of professional students•and as such the theoretical value is
inherent and implied. Variation on this value is likely to be limited among
the subjects.
The relevance of the present study is with particular reference, to
management as a profession. In organisational settings motivation plays an
important role. According to McClelland's theory of needs, achievement,
power, and affiliation are the three important needs that help in understanding
motivation. Achieve~ent need may be defined as the drive to excel, to achieve
in relation to a set of standards, and to strive to succeed. Some people have a
compelling drive to succeed. They have a desire to do something better or
more efficiently than it has been done before. McClelland found that high
achievers differentiate themselves from others by their desire to do things
. better. Considering this fact, 'achievement' is included as one of the values
for the study

Abstract:
The selective oxidation of alkylaromatics is one of the main processes since the reaction products are important as intermediates in numerous industrial organic chemicals. Side-chain oxidation of alkyl aromatic compounds catalyzed by heterogeneous catalysts using cleaner peroxide oxidants is an especially attractive goal since classical synthetic laboratory procedures preferably use permanganate or acid dichromate as stoichiometric oxidants. In spite of many studies, there are very few which use hydrogen peroxide as a source of oxygen in the C-H activation of alkanes. Eflective utilization of ethylbenzene, available in the xylene stream of the petrochemical industry to more value added products is a promising one in chemical industry. The oxidation products of ethylbenzene are widely employed as intermediates in organic, steroid and resin synthesis.

Abstract:
Aquaculture is a global industry providing food and employment thereby contributing to the economy. For the sustenance of aquaculture, disease management is a major requirement. Among the bacterial pathogens Vibrio harveyi remains to be the major one especially in shrimp culture systems. Rapid
and mass mortality of shrimp larvae due to Vibrio harveyi infection is well known, and the pathogen causes serious economic losses in grow out systems as well. It suggests that a well defined management strategy has to be built up to protect the crop from Vibrio harveyi infection in aquaculture systems. Antibiotics have been the choice for quite some times which led to residues in meat and development of multidrug resistant bacteria which invited ban on their application. In this context several alternate options have been thought off such as probiotics, immunostimulants and vaccines. Phage therapy is yet another option. Phages being natural parasites of bacteria and are abundant in aquatic environments their application to control bacterial pathogens in aquaculture has commendable potential in lieu of antibiotics. For that matter the therapeutic effect of phages has been proven in several antibiotic resistant pathogens inclusive of Vibrio harveyi.

Abstract:
This study analyses the socio-economic backgrounds and entrepreneurial
profiles of the students and pass outs of the Vocational Higher Secondary
Education in Kerala and the academic achievements of the Vocational Higher
Secondary students and pass outs in Kerala in terms of their performance in the
examinations. The study also analyses the quality and availability of the various
training and support facilities of the Vocational Higher Secondary Schools in
Kerala, nature and rate of employment and higher studies among the pass outs
of the Vocational Higher Secondary Education in Kerala and the awareness of
students, pass outs, teachers and principals regarding the goals and objectives,
mode of implementation, apprenticeship training and higher study and
employment opportunities of the programme of the Vocational Higher
Secondary Education in Kerala.

Abstract:
Electrochemical sensors are increasingly being investigated to perform
measurements for single or multiple analytes. Demanded by modern medical
diagnosis, advances in microfabrication technology have led to the development
of fast, sensitive and selective electrochemical sensors for drug analysis.
Electrochemical sensors for the measurement of analytes of interest in clinical
chemistry are ideally suited for these applications, due to their high sensitivity
and selectivity, simple-to-operate, rapid response time and low-cost.
As part of the present investigations eight voltammetric sensors have been
fabricated for six drugs such as PAM Chloride, Tamsulosin Hydrochloride,
Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone, Guaiphenesin, Cephalexin and Amoxicillin
trihydrate. The modification techniques adopted as part of the present work
include multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) based modifications,
electropolymerization, gold nanoparticle (AuNP) based modifications and
platinum nanoparticle (PtNP) based modifications.
The thesis is divided into nine chapters

Abstract:
India is on the threshold of industrial and economic
development. The growth would be retarded if harmonious
employer-employee relations are not maintained. 'Wages'
plays a fundamental role in establishing this relationship.
However, much controversy in the industrial sphere revolves
round the question of wages. Though formerly the laissez
faire doctrine prevailed, with the emergence of the welfare
state ideology, notions of national economy and social
justice gained prominence. The problem of wages has became
one with social, political, economic, psychological and
legal dimensions.
Formulation of a proper wage policy is thus a riddle.
Realities of the present have to be fused with perspectives
about the future. With due recognition of all significant
factors, a proper balance has to be struck, which should
be the hard core of any wage policy. This study emphasises
the need for a wage policy which may meet the requirements
of rapid economic growth and stable industrial relations.
The study also indicates the proper bases for the promotien
of such a policy.

Abstract:
Heavy metals are major toxic pollutants with severe health effects on
humans. They are released into the environment from a variety of industrial
activities. Cadmium, lead, zinc, chromium and copper are the most toxic
metals of widespread use in industries such as tanning, electroplating,
electronic equipment manufacturing and chemical processing plants. Heavy
metals contribute to a variety of adverse health environmental effects due to
their acute and chronic exposure through air, water and food chain.
Conventional treatment methods of metal removal are often limited by their
cost and ineffectiveness at low concentrations. Adsorption, the use of
inactivated biomass as adsorbents offers an attractive potential alternative to
their conventional methods. Mango peel and Alisma plantago aquatica are
naturally occurring and abundant biomass can offer an economical solution for
metal removal.The Cd(II), Pb(II), Zn(II), Cr(III) and Cu(II) adsorption by milled
adsorbents of mango peel and Alisma plantago aquatica were evaluated in
batches.

Abstract:
At intermediate depths of the Arabian Sea, the circulation and characteristics of water are more
influenced by the high saline waters from the north and low saline waters from the south of equator. The interaction of these waters which greatly differ in characteristics is less understood compared to that at the upper layers. An understanding of the nature of the intermediate waters is of vital importance not only because of the unusual characteristics of the waters but also due to the influx of the different water masses from the neighbouring Red Sea and Persian Gulf. Hence, in the present investigation, it is proposed to study the water characteristics and current structure of the intermediate waters in the Arabian Sea through the distribution of the water properties on the isanosteric surfaces of 100, 80, 60 and 4O—cl/t, vertical sections, and scatter diagrams An attempt is also made to present the potential vorticity between different steric levels to understand the circulation and mixing processes. Data collected during and subsequent to International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE) are used for this study. The thesis has been divided into six chapters with further sub divisions
