The paper presents the structural evidence for the existence of DP in the article-less language, Magahi. Article-less languages can be divided into two types: class languages and non-class languages. Most of the debate surrounding the treatment of article-less languages as DP/NP languages see only the binary distinction (article and non-article languages). In this paper, it is argued that the class-languages present richer structural evidences for the presence of the functional projection above NP. Along with presenting few structural evidences against the generalization presented by Bošković (2005), language-independent motivation for the functional projection like DP is also discussed. It is also argued that merit of the projection of the DP is also semantically justified. The argument that there can be various functional projections in the extended projection of NP weakens the strongest claim that article-less languages lack DP.

This paper is analysisrelationship between Decentralisation and Integral Humanism.AfterIndiaindependence, every national leaders was searching now what would be strategy for socio-economic and political developments. But finally they have adopted centralised policy for economic and political progress but after some years they have faced their policy was unproductive than they are accepted importance of Decentralisation. But these changes had not happened in practice.PanditDeendayalUpadhyaya has discussed concept of Decentralisation and Integral Humanism but because of different party was in political power his vision was neglected.Integral Humanism is a not a new concept, it is as old as Indian civilisation and culture. And basically it is an association of togetherness of human, animals and nature. Today world is suffering different kinds of problems and my paper is strongly agreed that without Integral Humanism vision and ideology we cannot short out these problems. My second argument is this Integral Humanism is of course should be our vision and aim but how could be archive it and my answer is that through decentralisation of powerto local governance. Through democratic decentralisation of power we can interlinkpeople to people,people to society,people toanimals, people to environment and people to nature. Because, in local and grassroots level they are interlink with each other andday to day life. Compare to big cities and other metro cities. After that we can make our society and world for future generation's noble, respectful and healthy.

PurposeThis paper aims to analyze the contribution of the diffusion of innovation framework to eco-sustainability. It examines the interplay of organizational environment, innovation and innovation adopters' characteristics on the diffusion of environmental sustainability.Design/methodology/approachThe data for empirical validation were obtained through an offline survey from the hospitals. The proposed conceptual framework was tested using the hierarchical regression analysis technique.FindingsThe results show that diffusion of innovation characteristics and organizational environment significantly influence the environmental sustainability index. The adopters' characteristics do not have any direct effect on the environmental sustainability but this effect becomes significant in the presence of a favorable organizational environment.Practical implicationsFocusing on innovations that offer an advantage over the existing processes, are compatible with the existing system, are uncomplicated and simple to implement and can be experimented before full implementation may greatly accelerate the adoption of eco-innovations in hospitals. Fostering an organizational environment where employees are encouraged and rewarded for contributing to sustainable innovations can play a substantial role in the implementation of environmental sustainability innovations.Originality/valueThis study is an original contribution as it advances the limited understanding of the predictors and moderators of environmental sustainability in hospitals.

PurposeThis paper aims to examine the effect of the characteristics of innovation and change adopters on the rate of adoption of environmental sustainability innovations in hospitals of Bihar state in India.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from hospital administration, managers, doctors, nurses and staff working at various levels in both public and private hospitals of Bihar. Research model was tested using regression analysis with the help of statistical package for social sciences 24.FindingsInnovation characteristics of relative advantage, simplicity, trialability and compatibility were found to significantly predict the adoption of eco-innovations while innovativeness and environmental opinion leadership failed to demonstrate any significant impact on sustainability adoption in hospitals.Originality/valueThis study provides important information to the change agents on how to diffuse green innovations in the unsustainable and inefficient areas and make them more sustainable. With no systematic investigation of sustainability innovations being done in the health-care sector in India, this study on eco-innovations in a resource-constrained state of India provides a fresh perspective and practical insights on the state of sustainability innovations in health care.
