Near the southern tip of the Indian peninsula, the State of Kerala has a 400 miles long shore line running north from the Cape Camorin. Almost all along its length is one reach or the other, the coast has fine beaches which are continually subjected to erosion due to wave action. This process has been going on, no doubt, since the existence of the sub-continent, but it is only in recent years has there been an awakening of interest when property and plantation are being threatened, as the man-land ratio is getting dangerously high.

The Aviation Group of the Ministry of Technology (formerly the Ministry of Aviation) is responsible for spending a large part of the country's defence budget, both in research and development on the one hand and production or procurement on the other. In addition, it has responsibilities in many non-defence fields, mainly, but not exclusively, in aerospace.Few developments have been carried out entirely within the Ministry's own Establishments; almost all have required continuous co-operation between the Ministry and Industry. In the past the methods of management and collaboration and the relative responsibilities of the Ministry and Industry have varied with time, with the type of equipment to be developed, with the size of the development project and so on. But over the past ten years there has been a growing awareness of the need to put some system into the complex business of translating a requirement into a specification and a specification into a product within reasonable bounds of time and cost.

Almost all philosophy about the state system has concentrated on the authorities. Any function of the state can be represented as a superposition of the functions of violence / coercion. Ultimately, the state appears to be a kind of plurality of subjects with a definite crater power / coercion / violence operation on it. The algebra of trust on the multiplicity of owners of themselves, endowed with free future, is each of them is only a part of nature, еру carrier of the part of the general human culture, and for their completeness, they have and understand the need for the Other. This is the philosophy of solving political, environmental, and climate challenges not through violent / voluntaristic methods, but by the recognition of sovereign rights and the search for ways to achieve sustainable development. Any cracy / power / coercion / violence must be separated from the models of society, the state. Public agreement is not an agreement with the abstract notion of the state, but an agreement with definite elected people who have gained the trust of those to whom they temporarily render their services. Contract is temporary, limited by period, with obligatory full responsibility of the parties. Scientific novelty. For more than two thousand years, long before Aristotle and Plato, European philosophical thought, reflecting on the structure of society, wanders in the labyrinths of kratia. Modern achievements of mathematics provide an opportunity to build ideal political objects, and a direct product of material and ideal government building. (Example of a trust algebra [4].)

In the consideration of problems of coastal engineering in general, and of shore and beach erosion in particular, one is quite naturally apt to immediately focus attention upon our ocean shores to the exclusion of inland areas. Many are perhaps not appreciative of the fact that the five inland fresh-water lakes comprising the Great Lakes system are bordered by eight states having a combined length of shore line of approximately 3,000 miles. (See Fig. 1) Only in recent years has there been a general awakening of interest in the many and varied problems of erosion which occur along these inland coasts. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the problems existing on the Illinois shore and to outline the steps which have been taken at the State level in seeking a solution to those problems.

The concept of jīvanmukti, “liberation during life”, arose in Advaita Vedānta as a response to the paradigm of “disembodied” liberation (videhamukti). The condition of jīvanmukti is highly appreciated in Tantrism. The concept of jīvanmukti often includes the meanings of identification with the absolute, the supreme deity. There are different kinds of jīvanmukti, for example, active and passive ones. The state of jīvanmukti is the complete independence, highest ideal, spiritual perfection. Jīvanmukta considers the entire objective world to be a reflection of the higher Self. The status of jīvanmukta can have an ideological dimension when it is opposed to traditions that are considered ineffective in Tantra. The acquisition of jīvanmukti is primarily due to spiritual knowledge. On the one hand, knowledge is a certain state of the carrier of knowledge himself; on the other hand, it is always knowledge of “something”. Although jīvanmukti can be reached through almost all tantric practices, there is a certain gradation of the time spent on it. The man reaches liberation during life not in isolation from the world. Outwardly, jīvanmukta cannot stand out among ordinary members of society; all his uniqueness is hidden inside his consciousness.

In Japan, area of natural beaches has decreased in the vicinity of cities, towns and villages, in consequence of constructing ports and harbours, reclamating shore and beach, and building strom-surge prevention structures like sea dikes and sea walls. On the other hand, the demand of people for recreation area is increasing year by year with the improvement of living and economic conditions. Therefore, since several years ago, local governments have extensively been constructing artificial beaches and restoring eroded beaches on many places by the aid of the central government. Such artificial beaches, however, need large amount of natural sand, in spite of the deterioration of sand supply and the soaring of sand price. Moreover, local governments are able to get subsidiary payments of the central government for the construction of artificial sand beach, but not for replenishing sand lost by wave action after the completion of the construction works. Therefore, most artificial beaches in Japan are usually protected by groins and offshore breakwaters in order to retain artificially filled sand. But in summer when sea is in calm condition, pollutant produced by sea-bathing people or discharged from the land is likely to stagnate in the vicinity of the shoreline on account of such structures. From the above-mentioned, coastal engineering problems on construction and restoration of sand beach in Japan are: (1) suitable arrangement of offshore breakwaters and groins from standpoint of artificial beach protection (2) keeping the sea water of the beach clean (3) estimation of profile change of the artificial beach due to wave action after its construction. This paper presents the results of investigations conducted with the aim of solving the above coastal engineering problems related to artificial beach constructions at Suma and Ito beaches. The investigations are mainly conducted using model experiment.

Land is the bread winning element to most of the tribal all over the three regions of costal Andhra, Telangan, and even in Rayalaseem of AP more specifically, if it comes to the case of women it is applicable to all over the world women in restriction, because almost all the tribal depends on land since they have less literacy rate compare to the other population of the state, so they are ultimately depends on land and forest which is readily available to them. There are complex issues of lad acts, and their own family systems have a great impact on their social life and especially on the life of tribal female.

This chapter evaluates the case of Australian state (Labor) governments. It outlines four distinctive state Labor governments in Australia in the states of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia. In all cases, Labor held office for a relatively sustained period of time, before eventually losing. These state Labor governments offered a distinctive approach to governance that reshaped and renewed the trajectory of social democracy, especially in the face of neoliberal economic settings. Yet, in almost all these cases, these Labor governments were ejected from office. However, in contrast to some of the other cases in this volume, Labor has regained power in many of the state jurisdictions. So, while the Labor model of ‘strategic government’ might have passed, there might be further lessons here about how Labor can regain power.

Gujarat harbors a large diversity of habitats ranging from deserts to moist deciduous forest to grasslands and coastal areas which provide a variety of microhabitats necessary for colonisation by bryophytes. An earlier study reported 44 species of mosses in Gujarat. 75% of the districts however remained unsurveyed. Hence, to understand the diversity of bryophytes in the state and its distribution, an intensive study was carried from November 2013 to February 2015. The present study reports the presence of 24 species of mosses which belong to 12 genera falling under 7 families. Pottiaceae, Bryaceae, Plagiothiaceae and Fissidentaceae are the dominant moss families of Gujarat while Bryum, Stereophyllum and Hyophila are the dominant moss genera with four species each. Gymnostomiella. vernicosa (Hook.) Fleish. and Hyophila. involuta (Hook.) Jaeg. were the most common and found in almost all the districts of Gujarat. The other common species included Hydrogonium consanguineum (Thw. et Mitt.), Barbula indica (Hook.) Spreng., Bryum coronatum Schwaegr, Bryum capillare L. ex Hedw. Brachyemenium turgidium Broth. ex Dix., Fissidens curvatoinvolutus Dixon. and Barbula indica (Hook.) Spreng . Physcomitrium eurystomum Sendth. and Hyophila spathulata (Harv.) Jaeg. are being reported for the first time from the state. Moss records are being reported for the first time for more than 20 districts of the state. Dangs district has the highest diversity followed by Junagadh, Panchmahal and Valsad districts

The reasons that prompted the Albanian exodus were numerous and varied. While if we take a look on its consequences will see that they have a dual nature. Among the positive aspects of exodus we can mention the fact that it helped Albania economically meeting the needs of a considerable part of the population in the moment of political and social crisis transition enabling the survival of many families. On the other hand it had a negative impact not only becouse of spending vital energies of the nation abroad, but also because it led to the formation of a bad opinion about Albanians, opinion spread almost all over Europe, especially where their presence was bigger. For this reason we got to study precisely the image of immigrant in two countries ( Italy and Greece ), where they have the largest flow of migration in 1990-2000. We should note that in recent years in both countryes in Italy and in Greece prevails the same closed mentality against foreigners. Also it is accompanied ( especially in Italy with the malfunctioning of the structure that handles issues of migratory movements, not like in the other states like Germany, England or France where, besides the small number of immigrants, there were laws and better functioning of the state that associated with emigration’s problems. On the other hand we can say that in this period, whether in Greece the fortunes of the Albanian immigrants depended from the relations of the Greek-Albanian state, in Italy they depend mainly on the behavior of immigrants.

Not very long ago, scholars saw it fit to name a new and quite widespread phenomenon they had observed developing over the years as the “judicialization” of politics, meaning by it the expanding control of the judiciary at the expenses of the other powers of the State. Things seem yet to have begun to change, especially in Migration Law. Generally quite a marginal branch of the State's corpus iuris, this latter has already lent itself to different forms of experimentations which then, spilling over into other legislative disciplines, end up by becoming the new general rule. The new interaction between the judiciary and the executive in this specific field as it is unfolding in such countries as the UK and Switzerland may prove to be yet another example of these dynamics.
