Philip Larkin, a twentieth century British poet begins writing in a historical phase when England lost its imperial crown. This change had deep repercussions for the mindset and the way of life in English society. His poetry depicts the changing self-esteem, especially the pessimistic turn in English culture. His focus on dynamics of urban culture and community place him in the tradition of poetry deliberately away from literary modernism. His poetry is often read as a pessimistic representation of his cultural context. But this aspect of Larkin actually emanates from the loss of empire as well as the demise of poetic idiom of hope. This question of mood is structural to the working of Larkin’s imagination. It is mandatory to note how the poetic persona in his poetry is rooted in the context of consumer culture. Unlike several of his contemporaries, Larkin is a poet of the understatement and irony. His vision is that of a realist who rejects ‘mythy-kitty’ as the style of content of poetry.

The intension of this paper is to use mathematical models to predict the population growth of India. India is a South Asian country and a most popular democracy in the world. It is bounded by the Indian ocean in the south, the Arabian sea on the southwest, and the bay of Bengal on the south east. It borders with Pakistan to the west, China, Nepal and Bhutan to the northeast and Myanmar (Burma) and Bangladesh to the east. In the Indian ocean, India is the vicinity or proximity of Shrilanka and the Maldives. India’s Andaman and Nicobar Island share a maritime border with Thailand and Indonesia. India seventh-largest country by area, India is second – most populous country in the world, with over 1.2 billion people. The exponential and the logistic growth models were applied to model the population growth of India using data from 1970 to 2017. The exponential model predicated a growth rate of 2% per annum and also predicted the population to be 3.3491 billion in 2050. We determined the carrying capacity and the vital coefficients 0.0225 and 0.97 respectively. Thus the population growth of India, according to the logistic model is 5% and predicted India’s population to be 6.1009 billion in 2050.

The quality of teaching, research, and community service of research scholars in any university system depends on information sources. Information availability, accessibility, and use are essential to the teaching, research, and service activities of research scholars in any university system. One of the critical factors used in determining productivity is research output. Local and international recognition and respect are partly determined by published works. Some highly productive scholars have been found to be more information rich than their counterparts. Meadow and Yuan (1997) view information as a message that changes the recipients knowledge base. This implies that information adds significantly to the existing knowledge of the user. The information resources and services available in institutional information systems (library, archives, records offices, documentation centers, and data c enters) must be capable of supporting research activities.

After 1950 urban and regional planning was introduced to Indian national planning exercises in a systematic and regular manner. It has assumed importance in recent decades for various reasons: the large size of the population of the country; the high rate of population growth, rapid urbanization, large scale rural-urban migration, the reflection of ruralurban, regional and intra-rural disparities and the existence of a large population below the poverty line are some of the important and pressing issues which have created strong awareness for strengthening the urban and regional planning activities in the country. Despite continuous efforts and trials, India has not been able to make a real breakthrough in controlling the range of problems and particularly in alleviating rural and urban poverty. It is important to record that about 18% of the urban population live in slums in towns of all classes, and 19% of the urban population are below the poverty line as against 28% in rural areas, as of 1990. The problems are getting worse and becoming more complex, a consequence of the increased and rapid urbanization from decade to decade. The urbanization in India is more of a statistical and demographic phenomenon than a real improvement in the quality of life. With limited resources and means, it is extremely difficult to fulfill the housing, infrastructure, community facilities and services, and employment which can provide a minimum standard of living in urban areas. The higher growth of informal activities and institutions is the support factor which makes city life to a greater extent sustainable. The situation in rural areas is definitely worse but less cumbersome, as the problems are manifested in a dispersed way. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to make a review of the situation relating to urban and regional development planning as practiced in India in the post-Independence period. The paper aims to focus on development issues, development projects and programmes, policy and guidelines, the framework of planning organizations and development administration and the future direction of planning and development.

A quality physical education program provides learning opportunities, appropriate instruction, meaningful and challenging content, and student and program assessment. In addition, a quality physical education improves mental alertness, academic performance, and readiness and enthusiasm for learning in our nation’s youth. The public is generally aware that being healthy is important. However, the public may not know, or understand, the importance of physical education. Opinions regarding past physical education experiences in school often distort the link between quality physical education and personal health. Central to the association between physical education and health is the teacher. Teachers trained as physical educators exhibit higher levels of effective teacher behaviors (Constantinides et al., 2013) and create quality physical education programs. Trained physical education teachers can achieve, for example, greater physical fitness improvement in children than physical education teachers who lack appropriate training (Starc&Strel, 2012). According to the latest Shape of the Nation Report (NASPE, 2012), both the National Association of Sport and Physical Education and the American Heart Association believe physical activity achieved through participation in physical education improves one’s overall well-being and is one of the best preventers of significant health problems linked to many chronic diseases (e.g., obesity, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol). No other school subject has the potential to fulfill these health needs. If schools are to make a positive impact on our children’s’ health now and in the future, physical education must be present in schools, be taught by qualified teachers, and focus on healthy behaviors.

Contributing to the availability of tools aimed at performance measurement adapted to the Brazilian reality, this study aims to present a model for assessing the financial condition for small brazilian municipalities in the Northeast with up to 20,000 inhabitants according to the 10-Point Test. For evaluation, the study developed by Brown (1993), with the necessary adaptations of the financial indicators to the Brazilian reality according to the research of Diniz, Macedo and Corrar (2012), will be based on the study. The evaluation stages consist of the calculation of the ten indicators proposed for each small municipality in the Northeast, a comparison of the city indicator in relation to similar municipalities and the proper classification of the financial condition. The accounting data and number of inhabitants of the municipalities will be those made available by FINBRA, a database linked to the Brazilian Public Sector Accounting and Tax Information System (SICONFI) for the most current year available (2016) and duly exported to the Excel worksheet. The proposal is to segregate the municipalities according to the population size, totalizing four groups. For each of the four groups, a Box and Whisker (boxplot) model will be established to evaluate the empirical data distribution, using the RStudio environment (version 1.1.383) present in the software R (version 3.4.3). The financial crisis that afflicts all levels of Brazilian government has given a boost to the reform of the public finance landscape. It is in this scenario that the model described in this article contributes to the continuous evaluation of the small Northeastern cities with up to 20,000 inhabitants, providing a quick and intuitive tool, as opposed to other sophisticated and expensive techniques that overload the management time and the public budget municipal.

In view of the obligation to include environmental education at all levels of education as an integrated discipline, the main objective of this research is to verify how the themes related to socio-environmental responsibility can be discussed from the point of view of the cinema in the classroom. To reach the expected results, we sought to know the theoretical-pedagogical aspects regarding the use of cinema in learning environments; addressing socio-environmental responsibility in the classroom in higher education from the context of transversality; map films that illustrate the issue of socio-environmental responsibility; and propose a model of a compiled, minuted and contextualized table of films for use in the classroom. This is an exploratory, qualitative and documentary research, since the films are cinegraphic documents that consist of a type of literary work in the format of moving images. The data collection was done with an intentional nonprobabilistic sample, with the analysis of 21 films, whose scope was the cataloging, filtering, selection, edition, tabulation and presentation of scenes that illustrate the themes related to socio-environmental responsibility, and which could be used in the context of the classroom. As a result, the research organized the minution of 64 scenes edited and arranged in a table adapted from Luz and Peternela (2012), contextualizing each scene and linking them to the possible theoretical approaches of the topics related to socio-environmental responsibility, which the teacher can use to disciplines of this nature in the course of Accounting Sciences.

Acquiring English skills apart from the core subjects is mandatory for the learners in the present situation to excel themselves in this digital era. But process of learning language skills is not up to the mark. The reason may be that the learning procedure is based on particular curriculum. With this, learners’ concentration turns towards learning answers to the questions as learning of core subjects. Even learning of grammar is also in conventional method of doing exercises in the classroom. With all these, they just obtain good academic record with good grades.

India is trying to leapfrog into digital, it has a long way to go. Sweden, South Korea, Denmark, Canada have high percentage of cashless transactions—as high as 75-85%. Norway has stopped cheques. Of course, these countries are either smaller, or have a more educated population, higher penetration of organised retail and higher awareness about digital than India. India continues to be driven by the use of cash; less than 5% of all payments happen electronically however the finance minister, in 2016 budget speech, talked about the idea of making India a cashless society, with the aim of curbing the flow of black money. This paper focused on the importance and problems of cashless economy and electronic transaction. It is observed that India has almost half-a-dozen methods for cashless payments. And yet users can’t leave home without cash. Demonetisation accelerated a shift to digital payments, but will take lot more time to become the prime payment option.

O presente paper, sob forma de pesquisa documental e bibliográfica, tem como objetivos a análise das supostas forças de correlação entre as variáveis e suas implicações, seus diferentes comportamentos, nas questões que envolvem as internações hospitalares observando o comportamento de cada variável, inclusive as construídas sob bases populacionais diferentes, justificando as possíveis causas e consequências, entre a ocorrência das mesmas. Além disso, a pesquisa buscou avaliar o problema da delimitação dos fatores, identificar as possíveis causas, sugerindo a necessidade de outros estudos específicos e complementares. Destaca a gravidade do problema já observados nos números oficiais que sejam precisam serem implementadas as políticas públicas voltadas às ações de prevenções das internações hospitalares por doenças infecciosas intestinais no estado de Alagoas, em grande maioria evitáveis com ações estratégicas como a ampliação do atendimento da atenção básica em todos os municípios do estado de Alagoas, aumento da quantidade de leitos hospitalares, investimento em compra e manutenção de equipamentos disponíveis para o Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) o que reduzirá a curto prazo as internações e o número de óbitos.

Literary representation can offer us reflections of the life and times of a particular age. In my research paper I intend to take up certain poems published in the nineteenth century which can offer us a better understanding of the city and country divide. Written during the period of industrial revolution, the poems register the migration of population to the cities in search of work, the changing relations of production from the primitive and agrarian methods to that of the machines. If the beginning of the nineteenth century saw the call of Wordsworth’s ‘back to nature’ and the Romantics yearning for the rustic life, the late Victorian embraced the city life and sang the verses of progress. But in the later Romanic as well as Victorian period we see a shift in the taste of writing. The response to the new is essentially thus set in paradox. Our examination of Wordsworth’s ‘Composed upon Westminister Bridge’ becomes the starting point of such a discovery. Poems of the time were more inclined towards expressing the beauty of city in place of wild natural beauty. For some poets like William MC Gonagall, the city life became a new subject of creation. In the poem, “A Toccata of Galuppi’s” by Robert Browning, we get a sketch about the Industrial Revolution and how the population shift to the city resulted as a consequence of the same. Again in the poem, “Duns Scotus’s Oxford” by Manley Hopkins, we get a direct proof of the shift. We also witness the poet suggesting a kind of tension between City and Country. This tension is later on turned into disgust and frustration as a result of industrialised city life, in the hands of poets like William Blake and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. While examining the shift from the rural to the urban, critics have emphasizes more on finding a reflection of such changing patterns in novels and theatres. Poems have majorly either been overlooked or have not been treated with adequate importance. In my paper I will focus more on the lesser known poets as well as the famous writers of the Victorian period and will try to show how the city shapes up as a part of their idealized subject of study.

Gallbladder anomaly is a rare entity and there are few cases reported in the scientific literature. The symptoms may include the same ones of biliary colic, as pain in hypochondrium D and even jaundice, the diagnosis can come only during the surgical act. We present a case of a female patient with pain in hypochondrium D and who performed USG suggestive of biliary lithiasis, during the proposed laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedure the gallbladder was not evident.

The eleventh five year plan marks a significant departure from the conventional way of looking at women in plan document. It tries to mark the centrality of women in all sectors. It explicitly recognizes, probably for the first time, that women are not just equal citizens but agents of economic and social growth. According to UN Women (2013) The Mahatma Gandhi Nation Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) in India and the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) in South Africa are examples of important safety nets for women. It further analyses various risk associated with the women during the working time of MGNREGA. The study finds that the MGNREGA increases income and expenditure of the households compared over the pre MGNREGA period and the scheme significantly enhances the social and economic decision making power to women in the men dominated rural society. Hence the scheme ensures improved standard of living of the vulnerable poor, more specifically among women. It also finds that poor worksite facility, hot climate condition and reduction of leisure time put them much hardship during the working hours of MGNREGA.

A teacher’s Grammar contains more information than a learner’s grammar. The level of the teacher’s knowledge must always be higher than the learners. It will help the learner to solve his/her problems. The learner’s grammar is meant to help the learner to learn how to use a language. Generally the knowledge of the learner is less than the teacher so the learner’s grammar must be easy to understand. I have choose the grammar topic ‘Reported Speech’ for the comparison because the use of reported speech is important for good communication skills. Reported speech is the expression of the ideas of others, as well as our own. Reported speech includes some tricky transformations; we will be in a comfortable position to use reported speech in our conversations.

Mercury has a cumulative effect on living organisms and can cause serious health problems in medium and long time to humans who ingest this toxic element through the consumption of food of animal and plant origin. This is because mercury when present in soils can reach plants through soil absorption and also fish when leached from soil to rivers. The situation is aggravated when it comes to the indigenous population that has in fish the main protein source, as well as consuming in considerable quantities several vegetables that produce in their villages. This study aimed to quantify total mercury (THg) in 216 soil samples collected during the seasons of the rainy and dry in areas of planting of three villages in the Rio Branco indigenous Land, in the western region of the state of Rondônia, in the Brazilian Amazon. The analyzes were carried in cold vapor atomic absorption spectrophotometer. All the samples presented THg concentrations below the value of prevention suggested by Brazilian legislation, although for the village Serrinha the values were approximated of the maximum value regulated as safe. Occurred dispersion greated of THg levels in the soils during the rainy season. It was verified positive influence of the rainfall contents on the THg in the soils of the plantations of Serrinha village, with the hight average value during the rainy season. The soils collected in the plantations of the village Serrinha had average levels of THg higher than those found in the soils of the villages Nazaré and Trindade, suggesting a possibility of greater exposure of the Serrinha plantactions through the consumption of the plants produced in the areas where the soils analyzed in this study were collected. The continuity of the research is suggested in the sense of dosing mercury in the vegetal foods produced in these villages, because they are foods very present in the diet of these indigenous and may have their concentrations increased in function of the content of this element in the soils of these villages.

O Ziziphus joazeiro Martius conhecido popularmente como juá, vem apresentando grande importância na área odontológica, uma vez que inúmeros compostos estão dispostos em seus extratos não isolados, dando origem a princípios ativos componentes de vários produtos dentários. A partir deste ponto de vista torna-se necessária a interação dos profissionais fitoquimicos e odontologos para a discussão e posterior inserção de novos conhecimentos terapêuticos. Este estudo visou contribuir para o conhecimento fitoquímico e da atividade odontofarmacológica da espécie Z. joazeiro Mart.. A pesquisa foi realizada nas bases de dados eletrônicas PubMed/ Medline, Science Direct, Scielo e Scopus. Por ser constituído por substancias que possuem potencialmente atividade antiinflamatória, sugere-se que sua atividade como fármaco odontológico esteja associado à presença de saponinas. Sendo assim por haver poucas referencias sobre estudos dos compostos isolados do juá justificase a necessidade da implantação de um grupo direcionado ao isolamento e posterior teste farmacológico em diferentes afecções bucais.

Resource discovery is done by the library automation. Applications of resource discovery are adapted by the libraries in the institutes of higher education so adaptation of the changes is for the progress our future. Libraries are at the front line like an entire automated medium of hi-tech grounds for the discovery of resources, with the applications of the computers. The model of discovery system faces a collective set up, where content combination is denoted with combined index replication and searching for easy navigation and retrieval. Library’s all collections required to be searched and represented in one result. Library catalogues are changed. Automated library is playing an urgent role to complete the research easily and timely by easy searching of the required material without any delay in searching.

Clinical research on vulnerable populations, whose informed consent is problematic, has produced some amazing results. In fact, research in the 19thand 20th centuries has led to medication, vaccinations, treatments and surgery that have extended the average human lifespan.But research is not without controversy, and these improvements are not without a dark side. These developments of clinical research forced us to consider ethical, legal, social and biomedical issues such as: How can we ensure that clinical research on vulnerable populations studies provide the most good to the greatest number of patients? How can we protect vulnerable populations while they are part of a study?The four pillars of medical ethics i.e. autonomy, justice, beneficence and nonmaleficence can be applied to difficult ethical situations in different context of practice and research. Again consequentialism and deontology are the two ethical theories cited to defend different positions in vulnerable populations’ research. Kant’s principle of respect for persons as autonomous ends-in themselves is at the core of the deontological traditions. On the other J.S.Mill’s principle of liberty is at the core of liberal tradition. In this point Nuremberg Code, Belmont Report, Declaration of Helsinki etc. guidelines are important.
