India can become a major skilled youth workforce provider catering to global needs and its own needs. In past, education and skilling stand as parallel and independent streams. Need based frame work has to be developed to upgrade skill education to global standards by working in the lines of Government of India`s Skill Mission. This study analyses how promoting excellence in Skill Education in close association with industry, and boost economic status of youth by enhancing employability or establish as an entrepreneur. So, setting up skills universities will address the challenge of student mobilization through National Standard Qualification Framework. A skills university must have the dynamism to follow a demand-driven model following the work-integrated training model or the institutional model or a combination of both. Findings provide a unique insight into the requirement of Skills University. Findings highlights that Skills University canemerge as one of the common platform to provide skilled manpower by imparting quality skill education and bridging the gap between demand and supply of skill acknowledged by industry, globally. Skills University promotes academic growth by offering certificates/ Diploma/ state of the art graduate / under graduate cources for connecting the supply of skilled human resources based on regional demands.

Agriculture is one field which has a high impact on life and economic status of human beings. Improper management leads to loss in agricultural products. Diseases are detrimental to the plant’s health which in turn affects its growth. To ensure minimal loss to the cultivated crop, it is crucial to supervise its growth. Convolutional Neural Network is a class of Deep learning used majorly for image classification, other mainstream tasks such as image segmentation and signal processing. The main aim of the proposed work is to find a solution to the problem of 38 different classes of plant diseases detection using the simplest approach while making use of minimal computing resources to achieve better results compared to the traditional models. VGG16 training model is deployed for detection and classification of plant diseases. Neural network models employ automatic feature extraction to aid in the classification of the input image into respective disease classes. This proposed system has achieved an average accuracy of 94.8% indicating the feasibility of the neural network approach even under unfavorable conditions.

There is a need to examine collaborative mental health practices in geographic regions serving high populations of under-represented minority and low socio-economic status youth in order to reduce the barriers in access to care and support. In response, a counselor education program at a large land-grant university in the Southwestern United States worked in collaboration with a local school district to create a school-based mental health program. The program provides no-cost and timely mental health counseling services to students and their families using a practicum training model. This article presents process evaluation data that examine program level functioning during the implementation stage of the training model. Implications for program improvements in the next phase of implementation are discussed as well as implications of this type of service delivery model within the context of counselor education and social justice.

The application of the Shadwo training model socialization in the tennis game directly helped the tennis trainer to be able to utilize the available facilities to activate the athlete as a whole in the training practice process that was carried out at SMA Negeri 6 Tana Toraja. In addition, students indirectly realize that they will acquire skills that can support their ability to play tennis. Thus it can provide motivation to students to learn and practice so that they can play tennis well. The benefits of using the Shadwo training method in practicing jasmine can increase the quantity and quality of the ball that can be received in a short time. No time is wasted thinking when picking up the ball once it starts to rally and it is often easier for the coach to direct the ball to the right place, multiball is very useful for improving footwork, power, speed, reaction time, endurance and anticipation. And multiball is great for trying new things because it eliminates the fear of failure. This can help players trust and encourage development. Related to this, it can improve the ability of students so that students of SMA Negeri 6 Tana Toraja are able to play tennis. SMA Negeri 6 Tana Toraja Regency is a national level school, supported by very adequate facilities such as; fully equipped rooms and laboratories (chemical laboratories, physics laboratories, biology laboratories, computer laboratories, and language laboratories). In addition to this, the potential of human resources (teachers) is very supportive because they have participated in national-level training. On the other hand students at the school, support such as facilities and potential teachers are very well utilized. This is due to students going through the screening system as practiced by public schools in Tana Toraja Regency. Students who enter are students who are netted and have high intellectual and average family economic status. The school has an area of 11034 M with a total of 28 teachers, 425 students. Sports facilities at the Tana Toraja State High School are basketball courts, takraw fields, badminton fields and tennis courts.The importance of sport is felt by humans in their daily activities. Many kinds of sports, one of which is table tennis. Table tennis is a sport that has many fans, not limited to the level of adolescence, but also children and parents, men and women are quite large in demand. This is because the game of table tennis is not too complicated to learn. Someone who wants to play table tennis well must learn basic techniques such as stroke or stroke. One type of punch that needs to be mastered is forehand and backhand.One way to realize the success of teaching and learning activities is the selection of appropriate and efficient learning methods and media, so students can receive and understand the subject matter. The position of the learning method in teaching and learning activities is very important.

Aims: To demonstrate an integrated, gender-transformative holistic approach to promote youth empowerment and community referral for healthcare in Uganda. Methods: The USAID-funded Fistula Care Plus (FC+) project supported implementation of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) education for in- and out-of-school youth. FC+ used the adapted Aflateen PLUS curriculum, integrating SRH with concepts such as financial and leadership skills and planning for future, FC+ trained and provided continuous supervision support to 19 teachers and 29 peer-educators to facilitate the curriculum to 10 in-school youth clubs and 10 out-of-school youth groups across Jinja and Kamuli Districts. Results: In- and out-of-school youth participating in the Aflateen clubs reached an additional 5,950 community members with SRH and financial savings information and referred 1,364 individuals to health care, including family planning, maternal care, STI testing, and evaluation of fistula symptoms. Conclusion: The Aflateen Plus curriculum’s learner-centered and in-depth engagement approach engages youth to critically think about present and future decisions. The curriculum and club model empowered youth and promoted a culture of information sharing and community referral to reduce vulnerability. Stakeholder engagement (e.g., teachers, peer-educators, local government, and health care sector) increased ownership and sustainability of the intervention.

Theoretical Background and AimsOrthodox theories of social change emphasise the importance of formal training in the structural transformation of traditional systems within less developed countries (Peil 1973; Dore 1978). It is assumed that through investment in human capital economically-backward societies will achieve modernisation and growth, and that a sequence of changes in the social and occupational structure following the typical Western model will occur. A close association between educational and occupational attainment is postulated which forms the basis for a new system of social stratification defined by educational qualification and income level (Foster 1977). Intervening between the academic achievement of individuals and their entry into the job market an important additional spatial variable is included in the dual sector model (Lewis 1954; Forde 1968). Given that rural-urban dichotomy exists between traditional and modern sectors the model suggests that considerable selective movement from countryside to town is an additional necessary condition for economic growth. Finally it is assumed that the resultant spatial separation of the educated from their traditional environment coupled by secure employment in town consolidates the process of acculturation into a Western value system (Foley 1977).

A1thought the mechanisms of amyloidogenesis have not been entirely clarified, proteolysis of the parent proteins may be one of the important steps in the amyloid fibril formation. Recently, we reported that "dense fibrillar inclusions" (DFI), which had the characteristics of lysosomes and contained organized fibrillar profiles as well, were observed in the reticuloendothelial cells in close association with the foci of new amyloid deposits. We considered the findings as evidence for the involvement of lysosomal system in amyloid fibril formation (l). In the present study, we attempted to determine the identity of the contents of the DFI by the use of antisera against the amyloid protein (AA) and an immuno-electron microscopic technique.Amyloidosis was induced in CBA/J mice by daily injections of casein (l). AA was isolated from amyloid-laden spleens by gel filtration and antibody to it was produced in rabbits (2). For immunocytochemistry, the unlabeled antibody enzyme method (3) was employed.

Earle's L-929 fibroblasts treated with mitosis-arresting but sub-lethal doses of vinblastine sulfate (VLB) show hypertrophy of the granular endoplasmic reticulum and annulate lamellae. Exposure of the cells to heavier doses of vincristine sulfate (VCR), a VLB-related drug, leads to the accumulation of large amounts of helical polyribosomes, Golgi membranes and crystals in the cytoplasm. In many of these cells a large number of helical polyribosomes are arranged in prominent linear rows, some of which may be up to 5 micrometers in length. Figure 1 shows a large array of helical polyribosomes near a crystalline mass (CRS) in an Earle's L-929 fibroblast exposed to VCR (5ϒ/ml.) for 3 hours At a higher magnification, as seen in figure 2, the helical polyribosomes are seen arranged in parallel rows. In favorably cut sections, a prominent backbone like "stalk" of finely granular material, measuring approximately 300Å in width is seen in close association with the linear rows of helical polyribosomes.

Scanning electron microscopy of fish scales has facilitated the application of micro-structures to systematics. Electron microscopy studies have added more information on the structure of the scale and the associated cells, many problems still remain unsolved, because of our incomplete knowledge of the process of calcification. One of the main purposes of these studies has been to study the histology, histochemistry, and ultrastructure of both calcified and decalcified scales, and associated cells, and to obtain more information on the mechanism of calcification in the scales. The study of a calcified scale with the electron microscope is complicated by the difficulty in sectioning this material because of the close association of very hard tissue with very soft tissues. Sections often shatter and blemishes are difficult to avoid. Therefore the aim of this study is firstly to develop techniques for the preparation of cross sections of fish scales for scanning electron microscopy and secondly the application of these techniques for the determination of the structures and calcification of fish scales.
