 Abstract

Diabetes, the leading non communicable disease has emerged as major health care problem in India. According to the Diabetes Atlas published by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), every fifth diabetic subject in the world would be an Indian. Indians, particularly Keralites are more prone to develop diabetes and its complications at younger age. Diabetes education has been an essential component of diabetes management and is increasingly recognized as an integral part of chronic diseases management, The objective of educating people with diabetes are to optimize metabolic control; prevent acute and chronic complications; improve quality of life by influencing patient behaviour and produce changes in knowledge, attitude and behaviour that is necessary to maintain and improve our health. This study is conducted among 60 teacher educators and 120 high school teachers of Kottayam district to find out the diabetic risk among teacher educators and teachers with respect to socio economic status, age and gender; to gather the opinion of among teacher educators with respect to evolving a diabetic care education course for secondary level teacher education; and to evolve a diabetic care education course for teacher education. The study revealed that majority of teacher educators and teachers are at high or moderate diabetic risk. It gives an urgent implementation of the scientific strategy and practice based pro-active pedagogy and education for controlling the lifestyle diseases. This research evolved a diabetic care education course with seven units and practicum. The seven units are; Introduction (10 hrs.), Conceptual Background of Life Style Diseases (15 hrs), Types of Diabetes (10 hrs), Problems of Diabetes (10 hrs), Coping with Diabetes and Diabetic Dieting (15 hrs), Exercise and Diabetic Care (20 hrs) and Evaluation of Diabetic Care Education (10 hrs). In addition to this the practicum includes; Assignment/Survey (1), Case study/ Project (1), Seminar/Panel discussion (1) and Exercises including 1 month yoga training (1 hour per day).

 Abstract

Social Networking has become one of the most important parts of our daily life as it enables us to communicate with a lot of people. Social Networking sites are created to assist in online networking. By using the internet and social media for academic purposes, students learn much more than they can in a classroom and their ability to access, analyze, retain and share information improve dramatically. The use and overuse or misuse of the social networking sites undergoes serious discussions at different levels. So it is necessary to analyze the opinion of educationists like, Teacher Educators on the influence of Social Networking Sites in Collaborative Learning in Computer Networks. For this 50 teacher educators were selected. The findings showed that most of the teacher educators believe that Social Networking Sites improve the quality of education; Majority of the teacher educators enquire to the students about the sites used by them. From this study, it is urgent that Awareness programs in computer network based education should be conducted in Training colleges and teacher educators should create blog, websites and encourage collaborative learning through social media. Teachers and teacher trainees should be given training for the above said purpose.

 Abstract

Most of Indian literature in English has embodied the struggle for overcoming negative social forces manifested in both pre and post independent Indian society. Throughout most of Indian history, laws, social mores and folkways have forced Indians to seek various alternatives that would enable them to realize their potential by seeking opportunities for intellectual, economic, political and self determination. Indian scholars and writers have generally identified two tendencies of Indian people seeking to realize their full potential in society: the desire for integration by emphasizing full participation as Indian citizens, and call for nationalism where everyone would be independent (physically, culturally or psychologically), emphasizing collective action of Indians based on shared heritage and common concerns. In this paper I will examine socialism as a strong form of nationalism in the select works of Bhabani Bhattacharya who is a strong advocate attempting to resolve societal racism. The paper aims to study the protagonists in the select works of Bhabani Bhattacharya who have a staunch nationalistic approach and are committed to make every possible effort for the betterment of their society.

 Abstract

Non - licensed ISM (Industrial-Scientific-Medical) bands are used for Bluetooth's wireless communication networks. Piconets are composed of approximately two Peripherals that use the same distribution channels. Bluetooth units can only exchange messages in one piconet at a temporal, thus their collaboration in many piconets must be on a time-division numerous bases in view of this. The article's goal is to understand how scatternets may be formed, routed, and protected in order to facilitate communication in these networks. Furthermore, we propose a connection layer security program that secures communication between nearby piconet masters in what we termed an Extended Scatternet Neighborhood (ESN). The topic of scatternet communication is the focus of this paper.

 Abstract

This paper presents a family of product- cum- dual to ratio estimator for estimating finite population mean of the variable under study. The bias and mean square error (MSE) of the proposed estimator is obtained to the first degree approximation under simple random sampling without replacement (SRSWOR) scheme. The asymptotically optimum estimators (AOEs) are recognised with its bias and mean square error. A comparison has been made with some existing estimators viz.Sample mean per unit estimator, usual ratio estimator Cochran, product estimator Robson & Murthy, dual to ratio estimator Srivenkataraman and dual to product estimator Bandyopadhya. The proposed estimators are found to be more efficient theoretically and numerically.

 Abstract

A large number of complexes of Copper (II) metals have been prepared with the ligand 1,3-bis (2-imino benzohydroxamic acid)- p-bromo benzoyl acetone in presence of different bases. The ligand molecule behaves as bi-anionic tetra dentate ligand. The general molecular formulae of the complexes have been found to be [Cu(L) (B)2] where L=ligand and B=bases such as water, ammonia phenyl-isocyanide, quinoline and pyridine. On characterization by usual methods, such as elemental analysis, magnetic moment, electronic and I.R. spectra, all the complexes have been found to be mono-meric and non-electrolyte in nature. Due to presence of unpaired electrons in 3d-orbital, all copper complexes are paramagnetic in nature. On the basis of elemental analysis and different spectral studies, the geometry of copper complexes was proposed to be distorted octahedral.
