The Constitution of India seeks to secure for all its citizens, among other things, social and economic justice, equality of status and opportunity and the dignity of the individual. Several provisions have been incorporated in the constitution for safeguarding and promoting the interests of the Scheduled Tribes in various spheres so as to enable them to the join the national mainstream. The areas of tribal concentration have been generally described as the forest and hilly areas of the country. This paper analyses the socio-economic status of Scheduled Tribes in the study area. In the sample, majority of the households are the tribes of Bhagatha. We find that cultivation is the primary occupation of all the sample households. About 51 percent of the households are earning up to Rs.20,000. Still 21 per cent of households are not having any land and about 74 per cent of sample households are having the land 1-2 acres. Most of the households are spending more amount on food items. About 58 per cent of the households are indebted in the range of Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 10,000 and 67 per cent depends on money lenders for their credit source. About 96 percent of the households expressed that they are not getting sufficient income for livelihood. The Integrated Tribal Development Agency (ITDA) and the Girijan Cooperative Corporation are the two main institutions slated for the development of scheduled tribes. So, it is imperative to make the functioning of the ITDA / GCC more people oriented by adopting participatory approach.

Background: To study the impact of JSSK scheme on institutional deliveries in Visakhapatnam district, A.P. To assess the awareness among the target population (i.e.,) delivered women regarding this programme. To evaluate the trends of MMR in Visakhapatnam district after the start of JSSK programme in 2011.Methods: This is an observational study, in the first phase all the data was collected on total number of deliveries occurred in Visakhapatnam district, A.P from year 2013-14 to 2017-October. This includes all institutional and home deliveries from Visakhapatnam district. Data of MMR and IMR, also collected for the same period. A point survey was done at VGH over a period of a month in October 2017. Total 464 delivered women during this period were given a structured questioner which includes age, parity, SC status, educational status, booked status and awareness about JSSK programme, its source of information and feedback was taken regarding satisfaction towards health services in VGH. Finally, a comparative analysis was done with MMR and IMR status of Visakhapatnam district and AP state with that of India.Results: In this study 87.8% of delivered women at VGH during the study period are unaware of JSSK programme. Level of socio economic status, education and parity played a big role in bringing out the awareness. Most of the awareness comes through anganwadi workers, ANMs and advertisements in media. 98.9% expressed their satisfaction with the health services at VGH.Conclusions: Pregnant women die in India due to a combination of important factors like, poverty, ineffective or unaffordable health services, Visakhapatnam district tops the lists of MMR and IMR in the state of Andhra Pradesh and most important factor effecting the JSSK success is lack of awareness in target population. There is a need to understand more about the individual- and area-level characteristics that contribute to variations in programme achievements. A greater in depth study should be undertaken at community level to analyse each maternal death individually. To achieve target MDG of MMR 100/2020 and IMR 28/2019 state needs to reach the unreached and motivate all needy women specially with low S.E. status towards institutional deliveries by proper campaigning to enlighten them that all maternal and child services including transport are absolutely free.

Social and economic justice, equal status and opportunities and the assurance of the dignity of the individual are guaranteed by the Indian Constitution for all citizens among other things. Economic and social marginalization, primitive life, geographical isolation, and educational backwardness define the Scheduled Tribes communities in India. India's constitution is filled with several provisions for scheduling castes and scheduling tribes to protect and endorse them by improvising their socio- economic interests to bring them into the nation's mainstream. Two stage sampling method was used for this study. The majority of the people in the field of study are illiterate. The main occupation is agriculture and income from this helps the individuals in the field of research in their everyday expenses. More significance and emphasis needs to be given to the educational aspects to enhance their social standing in the future. In this study the researcher tries to understand the current socio-economic status of the Scheduled tribes in Kolli Hills Namakkal district Tamil Nadu.

The socio-psychological phenomenon “consumer mood”, which is interpreted as an emotional and evaluative summary of the subjective understanding of the individual of various information elements that form the semantic structure of his implicit theory of consumption, has been investigated. A hypothesis has been put forward that the formation of the semantic field of the implicit theory of consumption of an individual is based on two system-forming factors: 1) the real purchasing power of the consumer, 2) the dynamics of his socio-economic status. In the event that both factors have negative actual indicators, the mood of consumer will be characterized by a negative emotional tone and high stability over time. The proposed hypothesis is confirmed by the revealing and analysis of the main determinants of the current mood of Russian consumers, and their subsequent comparison with the consumer sentiment index, identificated empirically.

This paper explores the discursive use of selected emotive interjections (Ow!, Ouch!; Ugh!, Yuck!; Whoops!, Whoopsadaisy!) in spoken British English. The data (drawn from the Spoken BNC2014) are coded for age, gender, social grade and type of dyad to identify potential factors governing the discursive use of these interjections. Based on 140 relevant tokens, the results suggest that: 1) The individual interjections vary significantly regarding how frequently they are found in discursive uses (p<0.001***). 2) Whoopsadaisy! is not attested in discursive uses. 3) Young female speakers behave differently from the other speaker groups in that they use emotive interjections discursively significantly more frequently (p=0.006***). 4) Female speakers in general use a wider range of interjections discursively: Ow! and Whoops! in discursive uses were absent from male speech. 5) Socio-economic status is irrelevant, as is 6) type of speaker dyad. Thus, the social life of emotive interjections is mainly influenced by speaker gender, and if the speakers are female, also by their age.

BackgroundAssociations have been demonstrated between contextual (area level) factors and a range of physical health outcomes, but their relationship with mental health outcomes is less well understood.AimsTo investigate the relative strength of association between individual and area-level demographic and socioeconomic factors and mood disorder prevalence in the UK.MethodCross-sectional data from 19 687 participants from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition in Norfolk.ResultsArea deprivation was associated with current (12-month) mood disorders after adjusting for individual-level socio-economic status (OR for top v. bottom quartile of deprivation scores 1.29, 95% C11.1–1.5, P < 0.001). However, this association was small relative to those observed for individual marital and employment status. Significant residual area-level variation in current mood disorders (representing 3.6% of total variation, P=0.04) was largely accounted for by individual-level factors.ConclusionsThe magnitude of the association between socio-economic status and mood disorders is greater at the individual level than at the area level.

Introduction We examined the concordance between the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) ''identity'' and ''ancestry'' questions used to estimate the size of the Aboriginal population in Canada and whether the different definitions affect the prevalence of selected chronic diseases. Methods Based on responses to the ''identity'' and ''ancestry'' questions in the CCHS combined 2009–2010 microdata file, Aboriginal participants were divided into 4 groups: identity only; ancestry only; either ancestry or identity; and both ancestry and identity. Prevalence of diabetes, arthritis and hypertension was estimated based on participants reporting that a health professional had told them that they have the condition(s). Results Of participants who identified themselves as Aboriginal, only 63% reported having an Aboriginal ancestor; of those who claimed Aboriginal ancestry, only 57% identified themselves as Aboriginal. The lack of concordance also differs according to whether the individual was First Nation, Métis or Inuit. The different method of estimating the Aboriginal population, however, does not significantly affect the prevalence of the three selected chronic diseases. Conclusion The lack of concordance requires further investigation by combining more cycles of CCHS to compare discrepancy across regions, genders and socio-economic status. Its impact on a broader list of health conditions should be examined.
