Abstract: Some common terms which are in vogue in the definitions of 'culture' or 'cultural identities' are contextualized with the experiences of different communities of Manipur. The paper then discusses various historical and contemporary social, political, and religious experiences of the people and how these experiences affected contemporary societies in Manipur. The different cultural identities practiced by hill tribes and the plain caste which could be integrated to achieve both political and economic ends through embodiment of the experiences are also discussed. In the process of the discussion, the political system of the State that underplays common cultural formation is unavoidable, in the perspective of the paper, and is thus discussed.

Abstract: GPS provides continuous positioning and timing information, anywhere in the world under any weather conditions. Under the US Department of defence, GPS was originally intended for military applications but in the 1980s, they made the system available for civilian use. The scientific uses of GPS is increasing day by day in the field of Military, civil and commercial user.GPS boosts productivity across a wide swath of the economy, to include farming, construction, mining, surveying, package delivery, and logistical supply chain management. Major communications networks, navigation, banking systems, financial markets, and power grids depend heavily on GPS for precise time synchronization. Some wireless services cannot operate without it.

Abstract: The study was done in remote villages of Purulia, West Bengal where incidences of child marriages had been very common. The aim of the study was to measure the change in perception and level of knowledge regarding child marriage following some behavioural change initiatives undertaken by an NGO. The study clearly indicates that after the sensitization programme of the Qazis, Layas and Purohits—the persons responsible for solemnizing marriages--there was a significant change in their level of knowledge. The case studies also clearly indicate the change in behaviour of the community regarding child marriage.

Abstract: This paper investigates the phonological changes in English words nativized in Dholuo.The infiltration of English words into Dholuo lexical inventory has led to the adoption and subsequent nativisation of English words by the native Dholuo speakers. During nativisation, the loanwords undergo a number of phonological changes which enable the borrowed word to be fully nativized in agreement with Dholuo phonotactic structure. The mechanism used by Dholuo language in the phonological modification of loanwords.....

Abstract: Cameroon like many other sub-Saharan African countries has identified tourism as a sector that can enhance the development of local communities by creating jobs and encouraging income-generating activities. This is expected to help reduce poverty and empower local communities. The challenge, however has been to integrate gender concerns into the tourism industry so that both men and women can benefit equally. Using empirical data, this paper addresses the challenges women face in taking advantage of the opportunities offered by the tourism industry to reduce poverty and empower themselves......
