Background: The present study aims to investigate the anxiety level of sports and non-sports students during board exam. It also aimed to find out the difference of anxiety among up board students on the basis of gender and the difference of anxiety among up board students on the basis of socio-economic status. These were studied with respect to different demographic variables like school type, socio-economic background, gender and academic stream. Methods: In this study, Sample included 420 randomly selected students i.e. 210 boys and 210 girls of U.P boards from various schools of Education at Uttar Pradesh. Subjects were assessed using Socio-demographic sheet and Anxiety Scale by Sinha & Sinha (1955). Result: The results of the study revealed considerable anxiety in boys than girls (p<0.01). Students from Hindi medium schools were more anxious than students from English medium schools (p<0.01). Students belonging to the middle class (middle socio-economic group) suffered more anxiety than those from both high and low socio-economic groups (p<0.01). Conclusion: conclusion is that Parent child relationship, child and teacher relationship and parent and teacher relationship and support decrease the level of anxiety. Parents and teacher emotional support drastically change the statics of anxiety in students. Parents and teacher use anxiety prevention efforts and gave lots of confidence to the child because these steps only weapon who broke the anxiety stone.

In the paper, a robust blind watermarking method is introduced for gray-scale images based on wavelet tree quantization with an adaptive threshold in the extraction. Every block of 2×2 coefficients of High-Low subbands of the Wavelet tranform are grouped in a block through the parent-child relationship of the wavelet tree. Every scrambled binary watermark bit is embedded into each block based on the difference value of two largest coefficients. The watermark is recovered by comparing the difference values in each block to an adaptive threshold. The accuracy of an extracted watermark depends on the threshold which is determined by minimizing the sum of weighted within-class variance. The performance of the proposed watermarking method is represented through experimental results under various types of attack such as, Histogram Equalization, Cropping, Low-pass Filtering, Gaussian noise, Salt & Pepper noise and JPEG compression. In additions, the proposed method is also compared to recent methods in the extraction performance.

A CAREFUL review of the research literature bearing on delinquency makes it evident that delinquency is a pathology transmitted from the community to the family and thence to the individual youngster. The relative importance of family and community and individual factors vary, however, with a particular child. In some instances the delinquent act is almost a direct outgrowth of community conditions; in such cases family influence is of importance only insofar as it has failed to prepare a youngster to deal with the environmental situation confronting him. In other instances the delinquent act is directly related to the nature of the parent-child relationship; in these cases community conditions are of importance only insofar as they have been stimulating or precipitating factors or have influenced the parental capacity. Observations of communities with low delinquency rates, combined with refined statistical analyses of the correlation between delinquent behavior and factors usually thought to be productive of delinquency, reveal that in communities that have social stability, little population movement, homogeneity of population, and the kind of interaction between people that represents a sense of belonging to the community, there is very little crime and delinquency. This is true even when such communities are marked by a great concentration of poverty, bad housing, a population of minority group members, and the absence of health and welfare agencies. On the other hand, a socially disorganized neighborhood, peopled by residents who do not possess a sense of community comradeship and participation, will be productive of delinquency even though it may have good housing and superior economic status.

Prabhpal Singh has defended a relational account of the difference in moral status between fetuses and newborns. Newborns stand in the parent-child relation while fetuses do not, and standing in the parent-child relationship brings with it higher moral status for newborns. Orphans pose a problem for this account because they do not stand in a parent-child relationship. I argue that Singh has not satisfactorily responded to the problem.

In this paper, I respond to the criticisms towards my account of the difference in moral status between fetuses and newborns. I show my critics have not adequately argued for their view that pregnant women participate in a parent–child relationship. While an important counterexample is raised against my account, this counterexample had already been dealt with in my original paper. Because the criticisms against my account lack argumentative support, they do not pose a problem for my account. I conclude the raised criticisms do not amount to a stron philosophical case against my account.

Raising children is a challenge, as children grow, change, go through a series of evolutionary phases with different tasks and goals, which the parent often does not know. The child starts from the stage where his primary need is care until he has to detach from his parents to explore the world. Parental counseling is of fundamental importance regarding the physical, cognitive and psychosocial development of the child in the first years of life. The socio-economic status and the cultural context influence the way parents raise and educate their children. Many of the parents living in poverty and social exclusion, concerned about the conditions in which they live do not realize their parental style and its influence on the development of children, do not problematize the parent-child relationship and the importance of the first years of life for the formation of the child's personality. The article illustrates how through different sessions of parental counseling 50 Romani families from different marginalized communities in Alba Iulia were supported, in their educational role and in activating resources and skills for raising children. Families who have been parental counselors have become aware of the importance of children's education, the need to go to school, the value of attachment in building the parent-child relationship, and the future relationships that the child will have in the future, etc. Parental counseling offered parents a path through which to deepen, clarify, improve their educational style and family communication.
