The temples commonly known as Mandir in Hindi and derived from the Sanskrit word Mandira, are identified by several names in different parts of India as koil or kovil in Tamil, devasthana in Kanada and devalaya, in Telugu 99 etc. In general, the structure of the temple can either be isolated structure or a part of complex. The temple is the place where the culture and philosophies of the humanity is portrayed beautifully. The character of Hindu temples reflected local architecture styles and the material and skills to which they related. The main forms and styles of the Hindu temple were established during 600-800 AD. The cell or shrine, the garbhagriha (usually square in plan), housed the image and was approached through a calumniated porch or mandapa. The shrine was roofed with a pyramidal spire or vertically attenuated dome like structure known as sikhara. The temple was raised on a massive plinth and was often surrounded by subsidiary shrines and by an enclosing wall pierced by one or more gigantic gateway towers or gopurams. It is the outline and detailing of the sikhara and other roof-forms which determine the character of monumental Hindu architecture and give a formal as opposed to historical basis for it classification.

Protection of environment is an issue of key concern which has permeated into all spheres of life. Consumers are increasingly becoming concerned about the environment and various issues related to it at the global level. This change has encouraged a couple of organizations and has also compelled many organizations to respond with ‘environmentally’ friendly products. Green marketing is perceived as an opportunity by many organizations to achieve their long term goals. Green strategy can be effectively implemented only by persuading the consumers to buy green products. Hence the indepth study on green purchasing behaviour and their attitude towards green products is of crucial importance today. The focus on young consumers is understandable as this group is representing a new generation of consumers with a strong potential impact on green environment. Hence 130 young consumers of green products in the age group of 18–25 years in Periyanayakkanpalayam (Coimbatore) are selected as sample by adopting snow ball random sampling method. The primary data are collected directly from the respondents through a structured questionnaire. Secondary data are collected from journals and websites. Statistical tools like simple percentages, weighted mean score, Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation and Two-way ANOVA are used to analyse data. It is found from the analysis that ‘Consumer Beliefs’, ‘Environmental Attitude’, and ‘Social Influence’ have a positive influence on the green purchasing behaviour. The influential factor on green purchasing behaviour namely ‘Consumer Beliefs’, ‘Environmental Attitude’, ‘Social Influence’ and ‘Quality of Products’ are significantly related with the overall green purchasing behaviour of the respondents. The findings of the study also insist the importance of educating the young consumers about the green environment. Hence if the suggestions given in the study are carried out both by the marketers and the young consumers, definitely India will shine as super power in the years to come.

The Carvaka system of Indian Philosophy cherished doubt of deviation which is called vyabhicarasamka in the relation of vyapti between probans and probandum (hetu and sadhya).Normally where there is hetu, there is sadhya. This invariable relation is technical vyapti or pervasion. The Carvakas are of the view that in future there is no guarantee that a hetu and a sadhya will remain together. If a hetu (smoke for example) remains without a sadhya (fire) then it is called deviation or vyabhicara. Considering such possibilities in view the Carvakas nourish some sort of doubt of such deviation. Let us see how they substantiate their standpoint.

In this paper we have investigated cosmological model in the frame work of (2+1) dimensional spacetime in ?(?, ?) theory of gravitation in presence of domain wall, where ? is Ricci scalar curvature and ? is the trace energy momentum tensor. The functional form ?(?, ?) = ? + 2? ,?with ? being a constant is chosen for derivation and analysis of the field equation of ?(?, ?) gravity. The solution of the field equations are obtained by using the special law of variation for Hubble’s parameter proposed by M.S. Berman (1983) that yields a constant deceleration parameter. The physical and kinematical parameters of the model are discussed. The model is tested for physically acceptable cosmologies by using stability. It is observed that acceleration is due to gravitation and also observed that the model is expanding and remains isotropic throughout the evolution.

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most general neurobehavioral disorder of childhood. It is also among the prevalent chronic health conditions affecting school-aged children. ADHD refers to a family of related chronic neurobiological disorder that interferes with an individual’s capacity to regulate activity level (hyperactivity), inhibit behaviour (impulsivity), and attend to tasks (inattention) in developmentally appropriate ways Students with ADHD are often energetic, creative, and good problemsolvers. They need support with sensory assimilation, idea, and social communication. Learning is personalized; students receive a customized learning to experience. Students learn at their individual speed with organization and maintain in challenging areas. Learning aligns with security, requirements and skills, and takes position in an appealing environment where students gain a better understanding of their strengths. To get an idea of personalized learning is, try to picture a classroom that doesn’t have a “one size fits all” approach to education. The teacher doesn’t guide all students through the same lessons. Instead, the teacher guides each student on an individualized journey. What, when, where and how of learning is tailored to meet each student’s strengths, skills, needs and interests. “Overall” the researcher to investigate the Mechanism of Flow of Knowledge - A Case let from Personalized Learning among Students with ADHD.

Teaching is one of what researchers call “at risk professions” - where individuals are prone to stress and burnout which affects their mental health. Teaching is normally characterized by long working hours, a lack of job security, and constant complaint of low wages and demands of the parents, management and students. Some of the common reasons that affect a teacher are, student indifference, discipline problems in classrooms, overcrowded classrooms, excessive administrative tasks and excessive testing and correction work. Additionally teachers burn out when they feel they are no longer educating and inspiring students. Thus, three main reasons for a teacher to feel stressed and burst out are when ‘a teacher lacks recognition’, ‘a teacher is overworked’ and ‘a teacher does not see the possibility of a change or improvement. Research shows that the Mental Health of Teachers is affected and greater when people workers are young and lower for older staff. A younger staff usually has less experience than the older ones (Maslach 2003). Research findings also indicate that the demands of being a professional educator in the 21st century is stressful. The 21st century expects teachers to be critical thinkers who have good problem solving skills. The teacher is expected to collaborate and have good leadership skills. The teacher is expected to have good communication skills, and also good analytical skills. More than one third of the teachers leave the field within the first five years according to Educationworld.com

The difference between representation and representativeness is much in terms of quality and texture and not so much in terms of quantity. However this thin veil of difference makes a colossal difference in practical politics. There is an ocean of literature available to make this difference known but that is in the form of philosophical discourses. This paper is an attempt to understand this in its theoretical/philosophical dimensionto throw light on the much abused term of representation that is central to Political Science in general and Democracy in particular so as to bring to the fore the meaning of representation in the context of representativeness.

HRP is an industrial term for the broad set of activities support by multi-module application that help a manufacturing or the other business mange the important parts of its business. HRP can also include application modules for the human resource aspects of a business. Any changes in a technology such as HRP that directly controls business processes, work rhythm, information content, and decision scope will affect job satisfaction and job performance. The satisfaction of the employees is very important for a successful user acceptance of the technology in order to Bring out a good performance outputen from Hackman developed the job characteristics model when technology was slowly blooming in certain fields of industries. HRP system implementations have the potential to drastically alter reactions to their work situation, so there is a possibility that job perceptions and the implementation of an HRP system can interact to influence employees’ job satisfaction. Although pr and job outcomes has extensively related these two sets of constructs, the role of technology implementation or the context in which the technology implementation occurs has not been explicitly modeled to understand how and why various job characteristics influence job satisfaction. For this reason the study is carried out to find out the impact of HRP system over the job characteristics model and its influence over the job satisfaction of HRP using employees is examined.

Diaspora Theory with its various features has influenced the literature of every nation. This literature is widely known as Expatriate or Diasporic Literature. It would be proper to examine features and aspects of such literature in which Indian Writing in English has not only contributed greatly, but also received international recognition and admiration in the past few years. Diasporic Literature is an umbrella term that includes all those literary works written by the authors outside their native country. But these works are associated with native culture and background. In this context, all those writers who write outside their country can be called diaspora writers. But they remained related to their homeland through their works. Diasporic literature has its roots in the sense of loss and alienation, which emerged as a result of migration and expatriation. Generally, diasporic literature deals with alienation, displacement, existential rootlessness, nostalgia, quest of identity. It also addresses issues related to amalgamation or disintegration of cultures. It reflects the immigrant experience that comes out of the immigrant settlement. The immigrants, whatever their reason for migration be, financial, social, political, no matter whether they migrated for trade and commerce, as religious preachers, as laborers, convicts, soldiers, as expatriates or refugees, exiles, or as guest workers in search of better life and opportunities have shared some common things as well as differences which are based on their conditions of migration and period of stay in the adopted land. Mostly the migrants suffer from the pain of being far off from their homes, the memories of their motherland, the anguish of leaving behind everything familiar agonizes the minds of migrants. William Safran has observed that; “they continue to relate personally or vicariously, to the homeland in a way or another, and their ethniccommunal consciousness and solidarity are importantly defined by the existence of such a relationship.”

British rule produced lasting changes in Indian society and culture. It resulted in fundamental changes in the old institutions, in the name of modern civilization. Consequently, in India, western modernization ignoring one’s tradition, perpetuated colonization and intellectual slavery. For example, in India, the political system was adopted on the model of British Parliamentary system (Gandhi in his Hind Swaraj called it a sterile woman and a prostitute). On the other hand, it has overlooked and suppressed our traditional structure of autonomy and decentralization. That is to say, being slaves we were not in a position to decide for ourselves, which native elements need to be modernized, or which western elements need to be borrowed and nativised for the efficient functioning of traditional systems.

In every human body there are three power centres, they are physical body made up of millions of cells, astral body formed by life force energy particles, causal body made up of dust particles (magnetic body). For every living or non-living thing as a centre due to specific gravity principles due to it spinning it forms the centre where the heavier particles attracts the centre and lighter particles goes to the peripheral. In living thing Genetic centre is the coordinating centre for three vital body functions i.e. intensified bio-magnetism, dense concentration of life force particles, sexual vital fluid. By the practising of kayakalpa one can enjoy more biomagnetism, by the practise of kayakalpa the Mahan’s are the sidhdars enjoyed death at will , by the deeper meditation they were trikalagyanis, healers, mokshakaraka, they were full of abundant knowledge about all the subject.

Mind is the Man and Man is his mind. God is assumed to be the supreme principle, but only mind brings the principle of God into the human fold. Such an incomparable and divine mystery is the mind; it a tricky and slippery that cannot be brought into our calculations of volume, force, time or distance. The wonderful principle mind is provided for humankind by the supreme powerful principle of the universe; God, the Nature. Therefore I worship all men and women of the world as divine manifestations on.

Every existence follows a certain pattern, precision and regularity. But human mind of individuals varies with each other due to genetic imprints.Ever since the rise of human in this world; artificial intelligence hasalso started to grow and has led to copying the act of Nature in form of dance, singing, sculpture and more. During this phase of time though intelligence of human may have grown it hasn’t led to destruction of Nature rapidly. But once this intelligence started to make equipment which led to industrial Revolution, Nature started to count its days. Within 300 years of this revolution we have lost many resources.This can be understood and rectified only through natural way of yoga (INTROSPECTION).

Why is there so much conflict, division and suffering in this world? Those who have striven for peace are rarely celebrated or praised for their efforts even less imitated. Consider that real world peace or peace on Earth is an ideal state of freedom, peace, and happiness among and within all nations and peoples. This ideal of world non-violence provides a basis for peoples and nations to willingly cooperate, either voluntarily or by virtue of a system of governance that prevents warfare. While different cultures, religions, philosophies, and organizations may have differing concepts about how such an ideal state might come about, they have in common this ideal of a cessation of all hostility amongst all humanity. World Peace could be established through religious or secular organizations that address to human rights, technology, education, engineering, medicine, or diplomacy used as an end to all forms of fighting.

Aggression is a general feature of human beings, a potential condition which can be activated fast or slow and it may take various forms of manifestation. In sports, where the main characteristic is the competition itself, the essential coordinates of the existence are: rivalry, direct confrontation with the opponents, desire to win and optimal activation. Today, the increasing number and frequency of aggressive acts occurring on or around the sports ground, makes us wonder where or which are the limits of combatively. This situation also demands a good understanding of deep psychological connotations of such behaviour. This paper aims to throw light on the reasons for the existence and persistence of such behaviour and possible remedies to deal with the same.

Resources in cloud system can be partitioned and provisioned on demand to different users with virtual machine technology. Sharing of resources among different users can lead to performance inaccuracies due to which efficient resource allocation and guaranteeing tasks execution is must in cloud systems. Different resources and services have different payment and time frame demand in cloud. With virtual machine (VM) technology being increasingly mature, compute resources in cloud systems can be partitioned in fine granularity and allocated on demand. In this work a solution which combines two techniques in order to guarantee execution of tasks within specified time deadline and try to minimize cost by using cost threshold. Equally spread current execution load and optimise response time these are the two techniques used to implement the system. A toolkit called CloudSim is used to support both system and behavior modeling of Cloud System components such as data centers, virtual machines (VMs) and resource provisioning policies. It implements generic application provisioning techniques that can be extended with ease and limited effort. In future, the proposed work can be incorporated with stricter/original deadlines into some excellent management tools like OpenNebula, for maximizing the system-wide performance.

Para um bom desenvolvimento das crias de abelhas é necessária uma alimentação composta de proteínas, carboidratos, minerais, lipídios, vitaminas e água. Os carboidratos são encontrados no néctar na forma de açúcar, enquanto todos os outros nutrientes são encontrados no pólen. A coleta destes alimentos durante a estação de seca, onde há certa carência de pólen, afeta diretamente o desenvolvimento da colmeia. Desta maneira, a colônia entra em declínio prejudicando a produção de mel. Diante da escassez de recursos florais, o alimento torna-se insuficiente para as colônias necessitando fornecer alimentação artificial às abelhas. Duas colmeias da espécie Melipona seminigra foram submetidas aos dois tipos de alimentação (natural e artificial) no período de 10 meses. O objetivo deste trabalho foi estabelecer comparações entre os méis e verificar se as amostras estão em conformidades com a legislação brasileira. Na metodologia foram analisados parâmetros físico-químicos (açúcares redutores, umidade, sólidos insolúveis totais, pH, a cor, sólidos solúveis totais, viscosidade, acidez, condutividade elétrica e densidade) e estatísticas de multivariadas (teste t student). Foram encontrados alguns parâmetros físico-químicos analisados nas amostras de alimentação artificial que não estava em conformidade com a legislação brasileira para padronização da qualidade do mel como os sólidos insolúveis totais e acidez enquanto as amostras da alimentação natural que não estão dentro do limite da legislação vigente brasileira foram os açúcares redutores, acidez e sólidos solúveis totais.

In Christian concept water has a power to cleanse the world from its sins. Water symbolizes the spiritual cleansing that comes with the acceptance of God’s offer of salvation.It can be the source of eternal life. In Christianity, baptism represents birth by water. In every Christian Churches we can see this ceremony to attain the Kingdom of God. Baptism signifies the death of the sinful life and the rebirth in Jesus Christ. It helps us to liberate ourselves from the sin which separate us from God and lead us to the union with Him. Water in baptism, washes our dirt and fills the emptiness in us. As baptism in Christianity symbolizes the burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, through baptism one can identify himself with the death and resurrection of Jesus. One can bury his old ways of life and can start a new life through baptism. This paper is an attempt to study Flannery O’Connor’s short story “The River”in the light of Christian baptism. Mrs.Connin, a babysitter, leads Harry Ashfield, a five year old boy to a healing at the river.

Colonialism has destroyed the economic, political and social autonomy of African men and women. Both sexes were exploited under the capitalistic and racist system which denied honour and respect given to celebrate their indigenous environments. It is African woman that Marshall propagates in her fiction. Marshall depicts how through the constituents of feminine strength individuality and communal empowerment, black women are empowered to ward off the marginalisation of social, political and economic situation in which they find themselves. The imposed standards of myth regarding assimilation and matriarchy surrounding black women by Anglo American society have prevented them from enjoying beauty, feminism and psychological well being, it also negates them from enjoying motherhood. She also talks about how black women forges ahead resisting the enforcement of limitations imposed upon them by white women. Through Marshall’s work, she shows that black women transcend the barriers through the courage gained from their heritage and flexibility of their worlds. Through their dual consciousness, they discover new horizons. Marshall fuses western images and structures in her novels to designate the fact that she is the product of both the Old world and the New. However she prioritizes her identity as a woman of African descent in Western hemisphere. Through her characters who are multi-ethnic, she figures the cosmological wholeness by valuing cultural difference as a celebration of triumph of human spirit.

Two drug products are deemed to be pharmaceutical equivalents if they have the same active ingredient, strength or concentration, dosage form, and route of administration. They may differ in shape, scoring design, release mechanisms, packaging, expiration time, and to some extent, labelling. Pharmaceutical alternatives are defined as drug products that have the same therapeutic moiety, but are different salts, esters, or complexes of that moiety, or are different dosage forms (eg. immediate release vs extended release) or strengths. Pharmacists often encounter questions from their patients concerning differences between branded and generic products. Furthermore, the availability of multiple generic products for a given branded medication may potentially lead to inappropriate generic substitution. For example, upon receipt of a prescription for Cardizem CD 240 mg, which does not indicate that the branded product must be dispensed, a pharmacist may face a dilemma as to which generic diltiazem products, if any, are suitable for substitution. In order to address these issues, a survey was conducted as to understand the current scenario for the demand of the Brand Prescription Substitution and a total overview was analysed on the basis of 205 respondents i.e. Pharmacy Stores. Researcher observed that change in brand prescription occur mainly because patient wants to buy generic drug and non-availability of brand strength or formulation of drug. Researcher also observed that change in brand prescription mainly given to respiratory drug and anti-histamine drug.

In systematic polysemy, cognitive explorations are the basis for the existing of different senses for terms and therefore it is analyzed through interlanguage and historical evidences. Body part terms and perception verbs are among the most important word groups related to cognitive semantics in the field of systematic polysemy. In the present study, after introducing the systematic polysemy in cognitive approach in contrast with the polysemy in constructive approach, the related literature will be reviewed. Then, the polysemy of the perception verb (Shenidan) ‘hear’ in Persian language will be analyzed according to Antunano and Sweetner’s model. Moreover, another goal of the present study is to find senses which are not included in the available dictionaries in order to list them as additional meanings to be added in dictionaries in future.

Verbs are found to be the most polysemous in Persian language. The senses of the verbs of the language under investigation are outnumbered because of the uniqueness of the language and its collocations. By adding any suffix or prefix to a verb and according to the context, the sense and meaning of it will change. Motion verbs typically focus on parts of the complex Source-Path-Goal schema. To come, to arrive, to reach and to bring inherently profile the goal of a movement whereas the verbs like to go, to leave, to depart and to take inherently profile the source of a movement, and to move, to pass, to travel inherently profile the path of a movement. In the present study, the domain of deictic motion verb raftan ‘go’ in the framework of cognitive semantics is analyzed in terms of Polysemy and the data used for the study were gathered from Persian dictionaries that are available and used by the Persian language speaking community.

Cloud computing supports distributed service oriented architecture, multi – users and multi – domain administrative infrastructure.Cryptography is the science of making data and messages secure by converting the end user data to be sent into cryptic non – readable form and encrypting or scrambling the plaintext by taking user data or that referred to as clear text and converting it into cipher text and then performing decryption which is reverting back to the original plain text.Depending upon the number of keys used, modern crypto graphic algorithms are classified as asymmetric algorithms (public key) and symmetric algorithms (secret key). The key length of this calculation is 56 bits; anyway a 64 bits key is really input. DES is consequently a symmetric key algorithm.Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), otherwise called Rijindael is utilized for anchoring data. AES is a symmetric square figure that has been examined broadly and is utilized generally now-a-days.

The Zamindari System was a popular revenue settlement in Tamil Country in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries during the Colonial rule. Even though many revenue settlements functioned simultaneously, this system furnished a fixed revenue to the British Government. This system was introduced in Tamil Country based on the Bengal model , implemented by Lord Cornwallis. As the land revenue was the main concer of the British , the imperialists like Lord Wellesley and Lord Edwad Clive took all possible measures to implement the system not bothering about its practicable difficulties in the dry regions. The Reports of the Collectors like S.R. Lushington portrayed the real pictures of the dry lands of the southern Tamil Country where the Poligars dominated . The overassessment of the land and exorbitant exaction of land revenue paved the way for the practical failure of the Zaminadri System in Tamil Nadu. Among the Zamindaris, Ramnad and Sivagangai were big and larger Zamins.

Growth is essential for survival and a necessary precondition for development of a nation. Sector specific thrusts emphasised during the planned intervention in the economy for growth affects the distribution of development. Balanced growth and Big Push Theory model led by Ragnar Nurkse, Paul Rosenstein Rodan and Unbalanced Growth Theory by Hirschman laid approaches to secure and lead growth. Now with the integration of the world economy, the competitive mode of production for trade has become survival mantra / strategy for growth. There is no single theory for administered for growth. Consumption led growth is every time pushed further to reach the economy’s production potential, ignoring the wastes or concerns for environment and resources for the future generations. Accommodative policy for raising growth and for its continuance has replaced the acceptance of fall of the economy size or business cycles. Money and credit availability (with policy support) are used as the most important/ influential resources to support growth and to counter any activities to derail growth. The Theory of Circular Causation by Myrdal talks about positive spread effects of different stages of development between regions (national and international), trade between industrialized and developing countries. Gunnar Myrdal also warned against the backwash effects in backward areas and traditional sectors due to modern sectors. So, economic factors need to incorporate social relations while analyzing factors causing change from initial conditions.

The value system is based on individual’s own organization of his attitudes. A value is thought to be a kind of super attitude at a high level of abstraction. values are cleansing, disciplining and restraining people’s behaviour and purge society from socio-economic, political, cultural and religious gender bias or evils. The selection of teachers should be based on qualitative assessment by adopting appropriate tools and programmes on values. So also in the selection of teachers their attitude towards values should be measured and considered. Although locale of the institution has some influence on the attitude towards values, gender and marital status of the teachers have no influence on the attitude towards values among primary school teachers.

Modern philosophers and ethicists have divided ethics into three sub branches namely descriptive ethics, metaethics and normative ethics. Business ethics is a new concept, and modern philosophers have categorised business ethics as a part of applied ethics which falls under normative ethics branch. It is the application of the sense of right or wrong, justice or injustice, good or evil in business. Despite the concept of business ethics, business scams are quite prominent in this world. World scenario reveals that unethical practices like insider trading, deceptive advertising, basic employee rights, job discrimination etc are quite frequent and prominent. Some notable scams were Enron scam, WorldCom scam, Satyam scam, Ketan Parekh scam, Harshad Mehta scam, PNB scam, Saradha Group financial scam and many more. In this context, the present study is an attempt to analyse as to whether business ethics as talked about is just a myth or is it really applied in practice. If yes, then the various famous scams show the answer to be different and if no what are the factors influencing the ethical behaviour of an individual.

The boost-inverter topology is used as a building block for a single-phase grid-connected fuel cell (FC) system offering low cost and compactness. In addition, the proposed system incorporates battery-based energy storage and a dc–dc bidirectional converter to support the slow dynamics of the FC. The single-phase boost inverter is voltage-mode controlled and the dc–dc bidirectional converter is current-mode controlled. The low-frequency current ripple is supplied by the battery which minimizes the effects of such ripple being drawn directly from the FC itself. Design guidelines, simulation, and experimental results taken from a laboratory prototype are presented to confirm the performance of the proposed system.

The historical backdrop of the short story is loaded with logical inconsistency, a trademark which can be believed to have a two-fold impact on the genre, without a moments delay imbuing the short story form with a sort of abstract vitality, while in the meantime destabilizing its status in the literary group. For instance, one hundred years ago, the short story climbed drastically in business achievement just to experience basic protection from standard acknowledgment. The achievement got from the way that Poes speculating prompted an acknowledgment of the short story as a positive artistic type while his identifications of its parts were turned into a recipe utilised by mainstream authors like O. Henry. This circumstance, in turn, drove to the basic appraisal of the short story as a lesser kind in contrast with poem, drama, or the novel, similarly as no sooner did the short story secure abstract status when the critics started to weep over the "decline, the decay, and the senility " of the short story genre. Today, a century after the regrets of critics and the genres proceeded presence in the shadow of the novel, play and poem, the short story is said to encounter a renaissance. Maybe the short storys genuine fascination in our period lies in its constant refusal of generic definition.

The school education in India is struggling with the challenge of poor learning outcomes as shown in several national reports. The relation between the classrooms’ social environment and students learning outcomes is supported by a strong number of researches. This paper examines the perceptions of teachers and students about the social environment of classroom on three dimensions: relationship dimension, personal growth/goal orientation dimensions and system maintenance and change dimensions. Descriptive survey design was used for the study. Findings suggest that there is a similarity in the opinions of teachers and students in regard to the dimensions of affiliation, teacher support and task orientation which shows that peer collaboration and teacher support to students in their psychological aspect is lacking. This lack in the relationship on dimensions of affiliation, teacher support and task orientation between teacher and students presents a critical classroom problem.

India opted for the first investment model post-independence as a part of the second five-year plan through the new concept of investment through public sector. As a closed and regulated economy there were no alternatives to savings and public sector investment. The economy at present required biggest deeper into investment shifting from ‘quantitative to qualitative’, from ‘traditional to technology and knowledge intensive’ and from ‘capacity building to efficient capital investment’. India is one among the few countries today which is ‘investment starved and requiring huge levels of both resource as well as technology intensive investment and requires concerted efforts on the part of the government to play its role to facilitate both private and foreign investment in the country, to reserve the present down turn in India’s growth story.

A study of Origin and Evolution of Caste system in Tamil Nadu is an attempt to trace out the meaning and definition and changes in the Caste system through the ages. Generally, India is a land of several religions, races, and inequalities. Society in the Indian sub-continent has been segmented into several religions and caste groups.

It was China, a highly closed economy in the seventies, changed the notion of development by following liberal policies for attracting foreign investment as means to meet the investment needs and to accelerate growth of their economy. Investment by FPIs on the other hand, is predominantly in the stock markets with the purpose of solely trading in shares of companies, and also investment in corporate debt and government securities. Their objective is to book profits on investments made. The government to facilitate foreign investment has also introduced fast-track mechanism of the ‘automatic route’ subject to sectoral capts, for projects which do not require industrial license and not having existing joint venture in India. The Chinese people though settled overseas still countinue to have their roots for investment matters in China, which is the missing link in India. Our NRIs, when comes to investment decisions rank other countries higher than India.

This Paper modestly tries to investigate the actual Investment Opportunities for Registered Closed Units under Micro and Small Scale Enterprises in West Bengal. Investment may be defined as a commitment of funds made in the expectations of some positive rate of return, Expectation of returns is an essential element of an investment. On the other hand, investment is also a commercial activity, wherein investors put money into something with the hope of a regular profit. The activities involve purchasing of financial instruments or other assets to gain profitable returns. In the financial sense investment is the commitment of a person’s fund to derive future income in the form of income, dividend premium , pension benefit , or appreciation , in the value of their capital example :- purchasing of shares , debentures , post office saving certificates , insurance policies are all investments in the financial sense such investment generates financial assets. But in the age of Globalization, Investment policy of recognized or unrecognized sector are facing some crisis. Some Investor from Indian money market cannot take good opportunities to maximize their capital by profit. The limit of investment in micro and small Enterprises are determined by the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development (MSMED) Act 2006 is different in service and manufacturing sector. The investment in micro Enterprises does not exceed twenty five lakh rupees and small Enterprises would be more than twenty five lakh rupees but does not exceed five crore rupees under manufacturing sector . On the other way the investment in micro Enterprises does not exceed ten lakh rupees and small Enterprises would be more than ten lakh rupees but does not exceed two core rupees under service sector . On the basis of the conduct of 4th all India census of MSME, the number of units identified as the closed ones appeared to be 11,769. Later through a revised communication dated 19.07.2012, number of closed units appeared to be 11,443. It is a golden opportunity for the Investor .But it is completely depends upon Governmental Policy.

Caste is the terrible thing that has been exited in India. The people of low class have been ill-treated for several decades. The low class people made slave in the name of caste. The majority of the people had been slaved at Travancore in Pre-independence India. Rani Gowry Lakshmi Bai had been supporting the low class people. India has been suffering from the existence of the caste system. The people were tortured and mercilessly killed in the name of caste. The caste system had emerged, when the religion started to rule the people. The Hindu religion was the reason for the existence of the caste system in India. The low class people were not allowed into the temples, shops, common halls, and public places. The outcast people who violated the rules were beaten to death. Sometime, the high class people made them to stand in the public places without dress. The equality was denied to them. The high class people extract too much of work from them and gave only small amount of money as salary. The wealthy people also lived in India from low class. They also lowered by mention their caste. The low class people were named as dalits and Rani Gowry Lakshmi Bai introduced number of reformers to abolish the slavery in the name of caste. She tried to liberate the dalits for that she had been organized the reformer club.

Tamil Nadu is the land of social justice, Women equality, emancipation of dalits caste prejudice, rationalism, war against brahmanical domination, etc. For success of all things, social reformers were worked, such are, Ayyangali, Ayotidasa Pandithar, Father Periyar, Poet and Freedom Fighter Subramania Bharathiar, Bharathidasan, and Dr. Muthlakshmi Reddy, The Tamil Society, politically and economically changed but not socially, because, the Tamil people could not leave the caste psyche. The caste rigidity can alone project the conventional marriage system, but the modern society had changed their minds by the impact of science and technology and education. At the same time, the upper and middle class some groups it is indirectly prevent the changes, finally turned towards the extent of violence inflicted against women around the world has taken various forms of ranging from domestic violence to sexual violence, forced marriages to honour killings, forced abortion to female genital mutilation etc. There is no end to these crimes and every new day, the nature of crime is taking anomalous shapes distorting the lives of innocent women enhancing the atrocities against them which have engulfed them in the clutches of horrific darkness and fear emanating from this darkness. Suppression and subjugation of woman by man himself who carries with him the misconception that ‘she is the one who belongs to him and have full control over her’ has in turn resulted in legal notions of adultery, seduction and enticement. Fathers, brothers or male members by exercising their male dominance do not lose any chance of retrieving their daughters or sisters from the male partner she chose to spend her entire life with. This even crosses the limits when innocent lives are shattered when their male partners are charged with kidnapping, abduction, and also inducing their daughter to compel them into marriage. This paper is focusing the actual incidents of caste based victims and mostly dalits are victimized, besides the reaction of government and the social activists.

Data analytics in healthcare has become a big buzz word. However, it would be important to break down what exactly is meant by it. Traditionally, for most organizations, data analytics meant purchasing a Business Intelligence tool and creating reports. The impact of such tools was minimal as most healthcare data is both non-standard and unstructured (i.e. text, images) and data from multiple sources had to be combined to create value. With the progress made in Natural Language Processing, image recognition and speech analysis combined with the availability of large-scale computing power, the ability to convert this type of information into analyzable signals is now within reach. If one can aggregate information from multiple sources and build model\s that leverage these technologies, then real value creation is possible.

Modern age is an age of migrations. The rise of globalisation coupled with the improved means of communication and technology has facilitated transnational migrations. In the globalised world, migration has become an easy phenomenon more than ever before. The motivating factor behind transnational migrations in the modern times is the hope of a better life. However, the migrant population often confront various issues in the host land which makes its survival very difficult. The migrant population oscillates between two cultures and there is no definite sense of identification among the migrant population. Besides, state sponsored means of control sometimes adds to this crisis of (dis)identification among the migrants. The same is true of the Chicanos, that is, the Mexican-Americans who confront diverse issues as migrants. The present paper is an attempt to depict the multi-faceted issues which the Chicanos confront in the United States which leads to their (dis)location as well as (dis)identification vis-à-visthe mainstream culture as well as their own culture.

In this article, a discussion that is being contemplated is developed first with a treatment of subject matter through the opinions on what is meant by ‘alienation’; and in what matter it is related to aesthetic experience of a creative artist. Then, as the argument is built up, its justifiability is examined in the light of its relationship with Eugene O’Neill’s The Iceman Cometh. In this play of Eugene O’Neill, alienation and aesthetic sensibility worked in tandem. The Iceman Cometh is a typical modern play in which the different characters caught in the whirlpool of time and circumstances take to boozing and pipe dreaming just to avail some sort of satisfaction, even for a shortwhile. However, in the deeper context of life, their hopes are misplaced, for through drinking and pipe dreaming they can only postpone the hour of reckoning, but they just cannot ward it off.

According to the World Bank, India falls under low income class countries group. With a population of more than 1.2 billion, India is the 2nd largest populated country in the world. Around 67.63% (2014, World Bank Report) of its population lives in rural area. 60% of people depend on agriculture, it contributes 17.01% of total GDP and GVA is around of 19.65 lakh crore INR (2014-15).Low production capacity both in agriculture and manufacturing sector. Lack of facilities to access banking services or institutionalized credit by the low income group people has led to the growth of microfinance in India. Microfinance refers to small savings, credit and insurance service extended to low income people group of society. It is emerging as a powerful tool for poverty alleviation in rural India from last two decade.In India microfinance operates through two main channels viz. (I) through Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs) lending through individual and group approach and (II) banking system through the SHGs under SHG-Bank Linkage Programme and JLG bank lending programme. The present research paper describes the Role of Micro-Finance systemin Development of Economy of India.

Self-efficacy is the belief in ones ability to successfully perform a technologically sophisticated new task. This is a specific application of the broader and more general construct of self-efficacy, which is defined as the belief in ones ability to engage in specific actions that result in desired outcomes.Self-efficacy does not focus on the skills one has, but rather the judgments of what one can do with his or her skills. Traditionally, a distinguishing feature of self-efficacy is its domain-specificity. In other words, judgments are limited to certain types of performances as compared to an overall evaluation of his or her potential. This study is intended to find out the self-efficacy of B.Ed. trainees. The objectives of the study were : 1. To find out the computer self-efficacy of B.Ed. trainees and 2. To dinf out the differences incomputer self-efficacy of B.Ed. trainees in terms of gender and marital status. The tool used in the study was Computer Self-efficacy scale. The sample technique used in the study is a random sampling. The findings of the study revealed that the B.Ed. trainees have high level of computer self-efficacy and there were no differences in computer selfefficacy among B.Ed. trainees in terms of gender and marital status.

This paper discusses the physical science teacher’s preparedness, curriculum changes and evaluation procedures at secondary school level. The government observes that the exercise revising school curriculum, with the aim to revitalize school education can’t be achieved without addressing the need for creating reflective teaching practitioners. It envisions that the learning inputs in new teacher education programmes will be predominantly learner oriented as it would provide for variety in learning exposures, accommodate differential learning and encourages divergence, reflection and insightful treatment of a learning situation. The exercise of revising a curriculum also provides for critical examination of diverse social conditions of learners, larger issues of social disparity, inequity, gender divide and field specific administration and organisational anomalies. All these contribute to each teacher evolving one’s own conviction about teaching as a profession and a professional commitment. There is an urgent need to model effective and practical teacher professional development strategies that put the physical science teachers’ real context at the centre, and employ it to engage them in modes that will mobilize them for change and professional growth.

The paper presents a critical analysis of act regarding health and safety, welfare, leaves and social security. In India, number of labour legislations has been enacted to promote the condition of the labour. Many researchers found that Indian labour laws need overhauling and reforms to make the current industries more competitive and attract fresh investment. The issues raised call for reforms in labour laws. We are looking forward to ‘inclusive growth’, which may not be possible without updating laws and simplification of procedures. Government should not only play the role of ‘regulator’ rather it should be ‘facilitator’.

According to national and local official reports, the health status and physical fitness of Karnataka students are indeed worsening. In an attempt to promote better physical fitness and health, the Karnataka government has taken a package of measures to improve school-based physical education.

“Memory by its very nature involves the possibility of dislocating experience” (Casey, 182). The person, whose memory has been dislocated, goes in search of his past. While doing so he/she tries to live their life the second time. Some feel satisfied that they have known what they have forgotten, but some get depressed and overthink trying to make themselves remember what they find out. The former is common while the latter leads the person to great pressure and depression. Umberto Eco portrays this dislocation of memory in his novel The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana. A person’s identity depends also on the choices he made. The dislocation of the protagonist’s memory leads him into going in search of his personal identity. Personal identity can be analyzed through two approaches. One is through psychological continuity and the second is through physical continuity. When he lost his memory he lost only one approach in which he forgot his psychological self, but is physical memory stayed intact. Every work that involved physical activities were not lost.

But everything that was based on his emotions was completely erased of his memory. This he tried to regain, but all in vain. He relived his life by trying to regain his memory. But what happened was, he relived his life, but never regained his memory.
