Findings: The result of the present study showes that there are significant differences found in respect of coordinative ability and kinesthetic perception among kodagu students. And also no significant negative relationship is found between coordinative ability and kinesthetic perception with emotional and behavioural problems. Implementation: If emotional and behavioural problems increasing contributing factors are minimized then psycho motor ability may be developed and healthful kodagu culture may be created. Conclusion: Significant increments are observed on coordinative ability and kinesthetic perception in respect of chronological growth of students. The increasing growth of the emotional and behavioural problems of kodagu students negatively correlates (not significantly) the psycho motor ability to develop.

Queering Translation : Transcultural Communication and the Site of the You
Webegger R
Abstract       pdf Full text PDF

Translators are often construed as mere intermediaries in transcultural com- munication, doing little more than transferring packages of meanings that have been unambiguously defined by other parties that really matter. However, translation is hardly innocent, and translation is hardly powerless. Translators produce texts and thereby identities/realities, and this text/identity/reality pro- duction cannot happen without interference/intervention from all participants in communication (which includes those parties that are usually theorised as passive, such as translators or recipients). Submission to hegemonic dis- courses is not a neutral non-decision, but a political act. Therefore, translators take part in the construction of identities. Transcultural communication is an ideal site to expose the cultural constructedness of identities/realities, thereby deconstructing these identities/realities and enabling allegedly passive recipi- ents to see through and behind social constructs.

Interrupting Research: Ethnography of A Research Encounter with the Bororo People in Central Brazil
Jack Curak
Abstract       pdf Full text PDF
This essay dialogues with feminist debates around ethics, epistemology and methodology. It analyzes the ‘failure’ of my research encounter with the Bororo people in Central Brazil. The essay uses the Brechtian theatri- cal concept of ‘interruption’ to scrutinize the empathic assumptions which inform feminist methodologies. It also demonstrates how ethical research opens a fruitful space for dialogue between researcher and researched. The relationship between researcher and researched is discussed in relation to the implicit hierarchies inherent in the global/local dichotomy. Using the insights of feminist epistemology, the essay ascertains the significance of feminist scholarship to the advancement of a more dialogical epistemology.
Author Keywords:- feminist methodology, hierarchies of global and local, researcher and researched positionalities.

Suseela Rani
Abstract       pdf Full text PDF
An incredible work environment is a place that promises to advance gifted employees and makes good on that promise. A healthy work environment provides people with opportunities to meet professional and personal goals. It is much more pleasurable, and less stressful to go to a work environment that is filled with positivity and enjoyment. A positive work environment is not only important for our physical, mental and emotional health, but is also important for the results that we produce for the organization that employs us. The better we feel at work, the more likely we will take pride in our job activities and be loyal to our organization. So, no organization is perfect without creating and maintaining a work environment of fairness, respect, and justice.
