 Abstract

The current time might be named as plastic period. Plastic detached structure has become an integral part of our life. According to assessment around one trillion plastic sacks are being utilized far and wide every year. Plastic sacks have become a difficult issue regarding strong waste as being utilized in bounty in market and bundling. Removal of polythene squanders in climate is viewed as a colossal issue as plastic is sturdy and non biodegradable. India prohibited the creation of plastic packs beneath 20?m in thickness in 2002. Plastic packs cause chocking of the metropolitan waste frameworks. Regularly the holy relics are ingesting plastic sacks as they mistake it for food. This paper presents the consequences of a test examination completed to contemplate the appropriateness of expansion of waste plastic sacks on mechanical properties of cement. In the current examination squander polythene sacks in sinewy structure were included concrete and compressive and split elasticity following 7, 28 and 56 days restoring were resolved other than functionality in new state. Test outcomes demonstrated that usefulness was impressively diminished with increment in portion of waste polythene, notwithstanding, both compressive and flexural strength significantly expanded with expansion of waste polythene.

 Abstract

The history and development of ceramic art and industry is traced by an enquirer since remote antiquity till recent times. The development of ceramic art and industry is closely intertwined with the socio-cultural aspects of life led by those who devoted themselves throughout to the ceramics popularly known as potters, Kumor or Kumbhakaras. The ethno-archaeological study centering round the ceramics is spread over a vast territorial jurisdiction of this country. But at present I have concentrated only on the district of Purba Bardhaman. The areas surveyed by me in this district include rural, semi-urban, urban areas inhabited by a large number of potters� families, those who are divided among castes and sub-castes with their characteristic socio-cultural orientation. This study is an attempt to make an in depth study of the socio-cultural cum economic aspects of the ceramic artists� inhabiting in some parts of Purba Bardhaman District. The potters of these areas are found to follow their age-old or traditional techniques with some modern ones. My contention may be verified by the actual survey I have made in the village Shalun, in this district. The district of Purba Bardhaman is geographically divided by river Damodar from the district of Bankura. On the southern part of the district we find a number of blocks. Khandogosh is one of such blocks that have a number of potters� dominated villages. On the northern part of this block we see a small village Salun. Salun is a Hindu dominated village with multi caste settlements grown in the village. Beside the large concentration of potters, we find here different Hindu caste groups such as Brahmin, Kayastha, Goala, Kamar, Bene, Bagdi, Bouri etc. Census 2001 confirms us that it encompasses an area of 280.0 hectares of land with a big population of 3060, of which 1552 are male and 1508 are female. This large section of people live in 7 localities divided into 644 households. This report enumerates that the village has a sizeable schedule caste population of 1486 and with 192 schedule tribe people.1 Salun is connected with Bardhaman town and with Bankura by a pacca road. The village has two Primary schools, one I.C.D.S. centre, one Adult Literacy Centre, one Sub- health Centre etc. The village stands nearer to river Damodar as well as to river Shali. So the village is enriched by alluvial soil of Damodar basin. The land of this area is much fertile for growing crops. The villagers have been enjoying wide spread irrigation facilities. A fair number of villagers directly or indirectly depend on agriculture.2 Census 2001 records that, the total numbers of workers in the village is 1346 among which 172 are cultivators and 445 are agricultural labourers. The report also reveals that the number of household workers in the village is 92. Salun is well known in the district as a potters� village. The chief cottage industry in the village is pottery though the village has developed some brick industry as well.3

Raga system is considered as the outstanding feature of Indian music. Each raga or scale has its own entity and well defined characteristics. Ragas are the solid music facts and every raga includes a separate aesthetic form. Like subtle srutis of music, ragas are may be perceived by a trained ear. The beauties underlying a raga are very subtle and delicate. Ragas reveal themselves through the Kalpita sangita and extemporised music. The individuality of a raga covers many aspects like its Jiva svaras, Nyasa svaras, Rakti prayogas, Amsa svaras, Vakra prayogas etc. It consists, a series of notes which bear a particular relationship to the tonic note or Adhara Shadja. In line with ancient treatises of Indian music, Raga means a selected combination of svaras or notes which supplies pleasure to the listeners mind. Thus different combinations of notes will bring different ragas. The ascending and descending orders (Arohana and Avarohana) constitute the preliminary description of a raga. Ragas are classified into Janaka or parent ragas and Janya or derivative ragas. Janya raga may be a raga, which is alleged to be derived from a Melakarta or Janaka raga. Janya ragas are classified again into Varja ragas, Vakra ragas, Upanga ragas, Bhashanga ragas etc. During this article, the characteristic features of Mohanam as a janya raga, are portrayed and supported by various elements

Stunting is a child’s height growth which is not appropriate for their age. The prevalence of stunting in Talaud Islands is 37.5%. This study aims to determine the factors related to stunting in toddlers in Talaud Islands. This study is a cross sectional study to 163 toddlers aged 6-24 months with purposive sampling technique.The results showed that 56.4% of mothers in low education. 85.3% of mothers were married at ?18 years old and 69.9% gave birth at 20-35 years old. The mother’s height was 66.9% in the normal category. Toddlers with normal birth weight were 95.1%. Toddlers who received early initiation of breastfeeding were 53.4%. Toddlers who have no exclusive breastfeeding were 58.9%. Toddlers who received inappropriate complementary breastfeeding were 55.2%. Toddlers with normal nutritional status category were 52.8%, toddlers with stunting category were 47.2%, short toddlers were 27.6%, very short toddlers were 19.6%. The results of statistical tests using chi square showed that there was correlation between education of mothers (p= 0.018), age at give birth (p= 0.045), height of mothers (p= 0.030) and nutritional status of toddlers and stuning toddlers in Talaud Islands. These factors shows that there is correlation between weight at birth (p= 0.019), BMI (p= 0.000), exclusive breastfeeding (p= 0.002), complementary breastfeeding (p= 0.000) with stunting toddlers in Talaud Islands. The society participation is needed, especially mother of toddler in integrated service post and optimal cross-sectoral in order to the prevention and management of stunting in Talaud Islands.

Abstract: Posthumanism takes a critical stance towards humanism and it urges humans to respect and respond to non-human worlds and to reject the essentialist and hierarchical divisions between culture and nature. The aim of my article is to explore how the dogs in Nabarun Bhattacharya�s Lubdhak (2006) take part in the post-humanist logos and interrogate the exploitation of animals. The novel opens a new discourse regarding animal life and rights and situates the animals at the centre of the text. The essay aims at recognizing the power of animals to interrupt, surprise, and reconstitute human commonality. Its focus is on how the street dogs� organization and their discourse on Human (its development, rationalism, invention, use and misuse of scientific knowledge) challenge and interrupt anthropocentrism. It will be argued how far the gaze of the animal breaks the hold of reason�s plan by admitting an �alterity� to reason within the temporal continuum.
