Abstract

Behavior is governed by some kind of motivation or regulation which is broadly categorized as intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation. Every individual regardless of gender has some strength and some difficulties in regulating behavior. The present piece of research has been conducted to study gender differences in adolescents in relation to their perceived strengths and difficulties, as well as their capacity for academic self-regulation. For this, a sample of 54 boys and 46 girls was taken. They all belonged to the age group of 11-13 and were studying in an urban English medium public school. They were administered the strengths and difficulties questionnaire by Goodman (2002) and the academic self-regulation questionnaire (SRQ-A) by Ryan and Connell (1989). The strength and difficulty questionnaire has four scales namely the emotional symptoms scale, conduct problems scale, hyperactivity scale and peer problems scale that comprise the total difficulty score, and the prosocial scale that signifies the strength score. The SRQ-A has four sub-scales that represent four different regulatory styles namely external regulation, introjected regulation, identified regulation, and intrinsic motivation. The data were collected and were further rendered to statistical analysis. T-test was applied to find out the differences between the two groups on various dimensions.

Abstract

With the emergence of ubiquitous computing, whole scenario of computing has been changed. It affected many inter disciplinary fields. This paper visions the impact of ubiquitous computing on video surveillance system. With increase in population and highly specific security areas, intelligent monitoring is the major requirement of modern world .The paper describes the evolution of surveillance system from analog to multi sensor ubiquitous system. It mentions the demand of context based architectures. It draws the benefit of merging of cloud computing to boost the surveillance system and at the same time reducing cost and maintenance. It analyzes some surveillance system architectures which are made for ubiquitous deployment. It provides major challenges and opportunities for the researchers to make surveillance system highly efficient and make them seamlessly embed in our environments.
