Differences of cultural and physical activity of daily life are found between tribal and non-tribal community in India. Tribal group also called ethnic group of community other than tribal community people call non-tribal people. The present research study was to find out front and rear arm elbow angle and compare them in acceleration phase for tribal and non-tribal school boys. Total 120 tribal and non-tribal school boys were selected as subject. The subject was divided the age groups i.e., 10-11 yrs., 12-13 yrs. and 14-15 yrs. each age group consists 20 tribal and 20 non-tribal boys. The videography was done during 100 m sprinting. The front and rear arm elbow angle analyzed from video graphic movement by Kinovea 0.8.15 Motion analysis software. The average front arm elbow angle of (10-11) yrs., (12-13) yrs. and (14-15) yrs. tribal boys were 77.000, 78.000 and 81.600 whereas non-tribal boys were 78.850, 81.350 and 85.900 respectively. The front arm elbow angle in acceleration phase increased with increase of age for both tribal and non-tribal boys and front arm elbow angle increased towards the 900 tribal and non-tribal sections. Similarly, the rear arm elbow angle for (10-11) yrs., (12-13) yrs. and (14-15) yrs. tribal boys were 112.250, 105.550 and 113.450 whereas non-tribal boys were 111.050, 110.100 and 108.000 respectively. The rear arm elbow angle decreased with increase of age for tribal and non-tribal groups except one tribal group. The rear arm elbow angle was more than the 900 and it occur 105.550 to 113.450 for tribal whereas 108.000 to 111.050 for non-tribal boys. The difference between tribal and non-tribal school boys for front and rear arm elbow angle was not statistically significant at 0.05 level of significant.

Recent developments and researches have proved that old or traditional management models as typical hierarchical organizational structure, autocracy, tight control, close supervision, etc are not effective and would not fit the current organizational conditions especially to school organizations. Many Indian government schools find themselves unable to compete in retaining talent globally when compared to missionary school employees working in India due to their high level of work motivation. Therefore, the present study was aimed at studying the employees’ work motivation during COVID – 19 pandemic among teaching and non – teaching employees working in Government and Missionary Schools with particular reference to North Bihar. To measure the differences between Government and Missionaries Schools employees in terms of their levels of work motivation during COVID–19 outbreaks, total sample consisted of one hundred sixty (N=180) which were randomly selected from different Government and Missionaries Schools located at North Bihar, viz., Begusarai, Darbhanga, Madhubani and Samastipur. These are well – known towns of North Bihar. The break up of the total sample comprises Government school teachers (n=45) and Govt. school Non – teacher (n=45) and similarly Missionary School teachers (n=45) and Missionary School Non – teacher (n=45). Total respondents’ age were ranged between 30 to 58 years of age. Having collected the information on the problem through questionnaire schedule, the data were tabulated as per norms of the schedule for giving statistical treatment. Obtained results indicated significant differences in terms of teaching employees’ work motivation between the group of Government School and Missionary school. It is important to mention here that the levels of work motivation among Government school teaching employees have been found little high as compared to missionary school teaching employees but had not shown significant difference during COVID–19 outbreaks.

There is no agreement regarding the maritime boundaries of the two countries, so that friction in the sea area often occurs, even if you look at the existing data for the period October 2014 to May 2019 there are 294 or about 57 percent of the ships destroyed by the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries are violating vessels, the Vietnamese flag. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the development of negotiations on maritime boundaries between Indonesia and neighboring countries and the prospects for solving the maritime boundary problem between Indonesia and Vietnam. This type of research is normative using a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The data used is secondary data obtained through library research. All data collected were then analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that the development of negotiations for maritime boundaries between Indonesia and neighboring countries began between Indonesia and Malaysia, followed by Indonesia-Singapore, Indonesia-Papua New Guinea, Indonesia-Australia, Indonesia-India, while the conflict in Natuna waters occurred because there was no agreement between Indonesia and Vietnam regarding the EEZ region of each country. Indonesia started discussing the EEZ boundary with Vietnam in 2010. From 2010 to 2016, negotiations on the determination of maritime boundaries between Indonesia and Vietnam have been held eight times.

The paper was written on host nations’ participation in the oil and gas business and the expected gains. This article examined the expected or resulting gains of active participation by host nations in the business of oil and gas, draw conclusion and make recommendations for sustainable growth. From the earliest time, active involvement and participation by the host nations, particularly the so-called third world countries, in the oil and gas business was virtually non-existent, and, at best, incidental. The implication was that the foreign investor corporations exploited the lack of technical know-how, poverty and none active participation of the host nations, particularly in the case of Nigeria, and ripped off such nations of the accruable income by offering meager amounts and some other incidental gains but repatriated the greater earning to their home countries. Oil bearing developing nations, like Nigeria, must not shy away from active involvement and participation in the oil business as the resulting gains and dividends are quite unquantifiable and have multiplier effects on the broad and general development of the concerned nations. It will bring diversification in the economy as profits realized is ploughed into other areas of critical need and development like railways, airports, construction of dams, agriculture, education etc.

South Sudan is a fraction of the newly independent Sudan on 9 July 2011 and registered with the United Nations on 13 July 2011. This region is directly bordered by Sudan to the north, Ethiopia to the east, Kenya to the southeast, Uganda to the south, Congo to the southwest, and Africa. Central on the west. Since its official independence on July 9, 2011, South Sudan has never felt the slightest bit of enjoying its independence with peace, running its government effectively like other independent countries, its sovereignty is torn apart by civil war, even the international community seems slow in taking a related stance. Events that happened in South Sudan. For the events that occurred in South Sudan, the UN Security Council finally imposed an arms embargo on South Sudan on July 13, 2018. At the time of voting before the issuance of the resolution containing sanctions against South Sudan, the two permanent members of the UN Security Council, namely Russia and China voted to abstain, as did the four non-permanent members of the UN Security Council namely Ethiopia, Bolivia, Equatorial Guinea and Kazakhstan which also chose to abstain. Previously, a similar resolution draft made by the United States (as one of the permanent members of the UN Security Council) was almost rolled out in December 2016, under President Barack Obama's administration, but the effort did not succeed in getting enough votes in the UN Security Council. The UN Security Council on May 30 2019 then extended sanctions against South Sudan for another year, including an arms embargo. Five of the 15 council members abstained from voting, namely Russia, China, Ivory Coast, Equatorial Guinea and South Africa. The move passed because it only required nine positive votes and no veto.

Objectives: To assess oral health status and prevalence of obesity, hypertension and diabetes mellitus and sleep related disorders in bus conductors and drivers. Method: Cross-sectional survey was conducted at interstate bus terminal of Lucknow district. Total 156 bus conductors and drivers were enrolled in this study. Oral health status was assessed by WHO oral health questionnaire and prevalence of obesity, hypertension, diabetes and sleep related disorders were recorded using standardized questionnaire and biochemical investigations. Data was analysed using SPSS version 25.0 at significance level of 0.05. Result: The mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure was found 127.1 and 85.3 respectively for all the subjects. Mean value was observed 36.9 cm for neck circumference, a mean score of 3.1 was found for mallampati grading and a mean score of 5.9 was observed for Epworth sleepiness score for all the studied subjects. The mean value for Serum Cholesterol, triglyceride and HDL-C were found 174.7, 153.8 and 54.5 mg /dl respectively. Mean value of serum uric acid were found 5.4 mg/dl and Plasma glucose (fasting) was found 100.3mg/dl in the given subjects. Conclusion: As bus drivers and conductors belong to lower socio economic status, thus free health checkup camps should be organized so that they can seek medical aid. Awareness must be created and Psychological counseling must be provided so that they adopt a healthy lifestyle and learn to cope up with the stress.
