Abstract:
The nature and extent of protection secured to
personal liberty has been a subject matter of great
controversy and debate. The expression "procedure
established by law" as a standard of protection for personal
liberty has been looked upon as highly unsatisfactory and
inadequate. For, unlike the specific attributes of liberty
that are separately guaranteed under Art.19, ‘personal
liberty‘ as guaranteed by Art.21 does not obligate the
.Legislature to comply with the requirements of justice and
reasonableness as and when it enchroaches upon that right.
Though the concept of ‘personal liberty‘ has received an
evolutive and expansive meaning through judicial process,
the standard of protection which the judicial process could
secure to personal liberty through the interpretation of
Art.21 has been far from satisfactory Even after four
decades of judicial process in the interpretation of Art.21 the problem of evolving a just and adequate standard of
protection for personal liberty in that Article continues to
be 21 crucial constitutional issue, craving for a.
satisfactory solution. And the present study is a humble
attempt to unravel this problem and to Search for a
reasonable solution.

Abstract:
India is a signatory to the United Nations Declaration of Human
Rights 1948 and the International Covenant on Civil and Political 1966,
the two major International instruments, building the foundations of the
major democracies and the constitutions of the world. Both these
instruments give an independent and upper position to right to privacy
compared to right to freedom of speech and expression. The freedom of
press finds its place under this right to freedom of speech and expression.
Both these rights are the two opposite faces of the same coin. Therefore,
without the right of privacy finding an equal place in Indian law
compared to right to freedom of speech and expression, the working of
democracy would be severely handicapped and violations against
citizens rights will be on the rise It was this problem in law and need to bring a balance between
these two conflicting rights that induced me to undertake this venture.
This heavy burden to bring in a mechanism to balance these two rights
culminated in me to undertake this thesis titled “Right to Privacy and
Freedom of Press – Conflicts and Challenges

Abstract:
This makes a thorough study of Role of Academic Bodies with Special Reference to the Academic Programmes in the Universities in Kerala. The present study has dealt with the constitution, powers and functions of the authorities of the universities in Kerala, especially the academic bodies which have well-defined powers and function. This thesis gives in detail the role and functions of the academic bodies in the four universities in Kerala, under study: and examines the role-effectiveness of these bodies. To sum up, it can be concluded that the academic bodies in the universities in Kerala do not function as effectively as envisaged in the laws of the universities. They have a maintenance-oriented approach rather than a dynamic one, without thinking in terms of introducing innovations. They need improvement in the various aspects of their constitution, selection of members and their mode of functioning

Abstract:
The study clearly brings out the role of commission agents in the traditional
marine fisheries sector and thereby goes to set at rest the controversy regarding
their role. The findings of the study has important implications for formulation of policies and development strategies related to the traditional marine fisheries sector. The study points out the need for a thorough review and reformulation of the policies and development strategies for efficiently achieving the development potential of the traditional marine fisheries sector and for improving the economic conditions of the fishermen. The study is based mostly on Alappuzha District of Kerala, covering all the 30 marine fishing villages, spread over the three coastal taluks, namely, Karthikappally, Ambalappuzha and Cherthala

Abstract:
“At resale stores I have seen brand new clothes with original price tag
still hanging from the sleeve. Some children have so many toys that they stay
frustrated, not knowing which one to pick up for their next amusement.
Presumably sensible adults trade in perfectly good cars just to have something
shinier and newer. Didn’t us once live productive normal lives, without all
these gadgets” [Cunningham (2005)]. During late eighties, nearly forty four
percent of the participants, who took part in a consumer survey conducted in
the US, responded positively to the question “My closets are filled with still
2
unopened items” [Faber and O’Guinn (1988)]. Reading such excerpts does not
greatly surprise us anymore; as such reports have become common now. For
many people shopping has moved beyond something that caters to their needs
and wants and has become a hobby [Cunningham (2005)], an activity that they
engage in to satisfy their hedonistic or pleasure-seeking goals [Ramnathan and
Menon(2006), O’Cass and McEween (2004), Faber and O’Guinn (1989)].
Others look at their new possession as something that fills a void in their lives
[Belk (1985), Diener et al. (1993)].

Abstract:
The main objective of the study is primarily to determine the magnitude of selected trace elements, the concentrations of which would possibly accelerate growth resulting in larger biomass and sustained period of exponential phase for economically viable harvest. The study on the effect of three trace elements namely Cu, Mn and Zn on two species of algae,ISOChrySiS galbana Parke and Synechocystib salina Wislouch under different conditions of salinity, PH and temperature involves several combinations for each metal, from which the relative set of conditions has been adduced. The scheme of the experiments was statistically designed for interpretation of data and factors were assessed and graded according to relative importance. The methodology adopted for data interpretation is analysis of variance by split-plot design method.
The thesis has been divided into five chapters. The introductory chapter explains the relevance of the research work undertaken. Chapter 11 gives a review on the work pertaining to the above mentioned three trace elements in relation to nutrition as well as on the toxic aspects about which there is an abundance of literature. Chapter Ill presents a detailed description of the material and specialised methods followed for the study. The results and conclusions of the various experiments on effect of metals on growth and other physiological activities are discussed in Chapters IV and V.

Abstract:
This study is an attempt to present an integrated picture of the economic changes that have taken place in the rural economy of Kerala. Its limited purpose is to draw the attention of researchers and policymakers to an important but neglected dimension in rural analysis and planning.The thesis aims to identify changes in income, employment-and population. and analyses the structural change in land ownership and other assets of the rural population. The thesis also studies the changes in agriculture, especially with reference to land use and cropping pattern and
examines the extend of rural indebtedness. These aspects are studied with reference to three
Panchayats - Thazhava, Pananchery, Muttil – which are taken as case studies.
