Abstract

Studies have revealed that teaching is one of the stressful occupations worldwide. Competitive stature of globalized education market has been changing in a dynamic business environment. Private players are coming up rapidly to meet up the skills and knowledge gap being equipped with better physical infrastructure, corporate management structure and business intelligence system. In this context, an investigation is made on how do the educators involved in private management educational institutes experience work-stress with respect to few demographic and job factors. Survey for the study is conducted using a validated stress scale among the teachers and academic administrators of private educational institutes in West Bengal, India.  Results reveal that nearly one third of the respondents are exposed to high stress zone. Situation is alarming, not parlous though. ANOVA results show that age, experience and area of residence are most powerful endogenous factor in differentiating work-groups in respect to stress. Gender, income, job status and educational qualifications have comparatively lower influences. Interestingly, teachers and administrators do not differ themselves significantly so far work-related stress is concerned. Research findings will help the policy maker examining the existing pattern of work stress and its likely implications in designing institutional human resource policy and practices.

Abstract

The article describes the American bank terminology in terms of its structure. Areas of the associated spheres, with their terms being a part of the terminological system periphery, are distinguished. The attempt to define the relation and percent composition of terms from the areas under research in the bank terminology is made. The diachronic aspect of forming the terminological system is taken into account, and basic stages of its development are described. The goal of the research is to reveal the relation of special bank terminology with other term systems for further defining the strategy of studying and fixing terminological units in this area of knowledge.

Keywords: term, terminological system, nucleus of the terminological system, periphery of the terminological system, discourse

Abstract:

In the recent times academic stress has become  a most concerning matter to the educationists as well as to the psychologists. Immense studies have been made by different researchers on the influence of academic stress on different aspects of the development of students. On the other hand self-efficacy of the student is necessary for the academic performance of the students and for social developments also. In the present investigation the researchers have studied whether the academic stress of the male and female students differs significantly and whether the academic stress of the students varies with classes and whether academic stress has relationship with the self-efficacy of the students. For this purpose a sample of 236 students has been taken from different schools of South Dinajpur district comprising male and female students of class VII, VIII and IX. Academic stress of the students are measured by the Scale for Assessing Academic Stress (SAAS) as developed and standardized by Sinha et al.(2001). The self-efficacy of the students are measured by the Self-Efficacy Scale (SES) as developed and standardized by Mathur and Bhatnagar (2012). The significant difference of the academic stress on the male and female students is tested by t test and it is seen that there is no significant difference of the academic stress on male and female students. The significant difference of the academic stress on different classes is tested by F- test (ANOVA) and it is seen that the academic stress depends on classes. Also the Pearson’s coefficient of correlation between the academic stress and self-efficacy is calculated and it is -0.70061 and by t test it is seen that the correlation is significant. The regression analysis has also been done to estimate the dependence of self-efficacy on the academic stress.

Keywords: Academic stress, Self-efficacy, SAAS.

Abstract:

The present paper deals with the Buddhist theory of meaning which is known as Apohavāda, it was first propounded by Diṅnāga. Diṅnāga, the great Indian logician and the father of Buddhist nominalism, in his celebrated work Pramāṇcamuccaya mentioned the apoha theory which asserts that universal is not real, it has no reality; only the unique particular is real. According to Diṅnāga, there is no need to assume the existence of real universals like “cowness” which is nothing but a class concept of the general term “cow”. He argues that we have no requirement of any real universal, because it has no ability to identify or to express any particular entity. According to him, word as a linguistic sign cannot refer to the real object; it can only refer to the negation of others (anyāpoha). Diṅnāga’s conception of anyāpoha is a possible substitute for universal (jāti or sāmānya) of other realist school of Indian logic. The term “sākṣādvṛtti” is directly applicable to the universal which, in other words, is known as  anyāpoha or negation of other. The term anyāpoha means negation of others or negation of contrary or exclusion of others (i.e. the double negation or the joint negation). Though Diṅnāga claims that the general term does not denote its particular as its own referent, yet, for alternative suggestion, he offers that a word denotes its own referent by the exclusion of others.

Keywords: Nominalism, exclusion of others (anyāpoha), linguistic sign, import of words, conceptual construction, reality

Abstract

Teacher motivation is a point of concern for educationists, education planners and school managers. There are several theories dealing with teacher motivation from different viewpoints. The present paper is a short survey concerning the kind of opinion that motivated teachers have regarding the effectiveness of curriculum. The survey was conducted in a private CBSE-based school of Patna. The survey showed a medium positive correlation of 0.35 between teacher motivation and teachers’ perception of effectiveness of curriculum. This implies that while it is true that motivated teachers in general have a positive opinion about their curriculum being effective, it is not so always. A small number are not very confident. This might be because they might be looking towards further possible improvements.

Keywords: Teacher Motivation, Teacher’s Perception of Curriculum

সংক্ষিপ্তসার (Abstract):       

মনুষ্যদেহে বসবাসকারী ষড়রিপুর অন্যতম কাম। ভগবান তাঁর সৃষ্টিকে পঞ্চ-ইন্দ্রিয়ের দ্বারা উপভোগ করবার জন্যই মনুষ্য প্রজাতির সৃষ্টি করেছেন। সুতরাং, পৃথিবীতে সৃষ্টি বজায় রাখতে গেলে নিঃসন্দেহে কামের প্রয়োজন আছে। যেহেতু কামাদি রিপুগুলি সহজাত, তাই এগুলির সমূলে বিনাশ সম্ভব নয় এবং তা কাম্যও নয়; এর দমন সম্ভব এবং তা বাঞ্ছনীয়। কিন্তু কাম-প্রবৃত্তি অসংযতভাবে বৃদ্ধি পেলে সমাজে নারীজাতি অনেক ক্ষেত্রেই তার শিকার হয়ে থাকে। শুধু তাই নয়, অসংযত মন ও ইন্দ্রিয়ের বশীভূত ব্যক্তি নিজকৃত কর্মের পরিণাম সম্পর্কে সচেতন থাকতে পারে না। অপিচ কাম-কামনা ঋদ্ধিমান পুরুষের শুভবোধকে পর্যন্ত হরণ করে থাকে। কামের এই সর্বগ্রাসী প্রবৃত্তির অবশ্যম্ভাবী ফলস্বরূপ পুত্রপ্রীতি, ভ্রাতৃপ্রীতি, পত্নীপ্রীতি ও বন্ধুতা থেকে শত্রুতায় পরিণত করে। তাই আদিকবি বাল্মীকি তাঁর আর্য রামায়ণে বিবিধ চরিত্র ও ঘটনাবলীর অনুসঙ্গে সমাজকে ইন্দ্রিয়াসক্তির বিরূপ প্রতিক্রিয়া সম্বন্ধে সমুচিত শিক্ষা দিতে এই কালজয়ী আখ্যান রচনা করেছিলেন।

Abstract:

বাংলা সাহিত্যে কোন একটি বিশেষ জনগোষ্ঠীর জীবন নিয়ে লেখা উপন্যাসের সংখ্যা কম নয়। আর সেই ধারায় অদ্বৈত মল্লবর্মণের ‘তিতাস একটি নদীর নাম’ উপন্যাসটির কথা বিশেষভবেই উল্লেখের দাবি রাখে। তিতাস নদী থেকে মাছ ধরে জীবিকা নির্বাহ করা একদল জেলে-সম্প্রদায়ের(মালো সমাজ) জীবন নিয়ে উপন্যাসটি লিখেছেন ঔপন্যাসিক। মালোদের জীবনের এক সামগ্রিক চালচিত্রই তুলে ধরা হয়েছে এই উপন্যাসে। প্রতিটি মালো নরনারীর ব্যক্তিগত জীবন, তাদের গোষ্ঠী-জীবনের নিজস্ব সংস্কৃতি ও ঐতিহ্য এবং তিতাসের উপর নির্ভরশীল মালোদের জীবন ও জীবিকার পুঙ্খানুপুঙ্খ পরিচয়ই ধরা পড়েছে উপন্যাসটির মধ্যে। আর মালোদের জীবনকথা এই উপন্যাসটির নিবিড় পাঠ নিলে আমরা সমগ্র উপন্যাসের মধ্যে একটা বিষণ্ণতার ছোঁয়া তথা একটা ট্র্যাজিক সুর ফুটে উঠতে দেখি।যার মূলে রয়েছে জীবনের প্রত্যাশা ও প্রাপ্তির  চিরকালীন দ্বন্দ্ব। আমাদের গবেষণার বিষয়ই হল, অদ্বৈত মল্লবর্মণের ‘তিতাস একটি নদীর নাম’ উপন্যাসে কিভাবে জীবনের এই প্রত্যাশা ও প্রাপ্তির দ্বান্দ্বিক রূপটি ধরা পড়েছে, সেটির উপর আলোকপাত করা।এক্ষেত্রে বিষয়টিকে আমরা দুদিক থেকে দেখাবার চেষ্টা করব—–

(ক) প্রতিটি মালো নরনারীর ব্যক্তিগত জীবন প্রসঙ্গে এই প্রত্যাশা-প্রাপ্তির দ্বন্দ্বের ক্ষেত্রটি।

(খ) আঞ্চলিক উপন্যাস হিসাবে একটি জনগোষ্ঠীর নিজস্ব সংস্কৃতি ও জীবিকার সংকটকে ঘিরে গোষ্ঠীজীবনের ক্ষেত্রে এই প্রত্যাশা-প্রাপ্তির দ্বান্দ্বিক রূপটি।
