 Abstract

Pushover analysis has been widely used for seismic assessment of buildings as it�s a nonlinear, static technique used to estimate deformations in a structure due to seismic force. In past years pushover analysis has accomplished majority of importance because of it being simple to perform and giving effective results. The main result of a pushover analysis is the capacity curve which is a force-displacement relation, involving the load to be applied incrementally until the structure collapses. The seismic performance of the buildings can be enhanced by using various base isolation devices, such as HDRB, LRB and LDRB. This research work aims to explore the applicability of these devices in tall buildings. To achieve this purpose storey numbers ranging from 3 to 15 with a step size of 3 storeys have been modelled and analysed with inclusion of different types of damping devices to evaluate their feasibility in this model. Finally effect of inclusion of base isolation with its effect on different storeys have been evaluated and some useful outcomes and recommendations for effective seismic design have been presented from this analysis. The structures are designed accordance with Indian Standard, i.e. IS 800:2007 and the pushover analysis has been done using structural analysis and design software STAAD pro.

 Abstract

The socio-cultural confluence reflects on the assortment of socially constructed cultural propensity. Cultural confluences have a propensity resulting in multiplicity, amalgamation, hybridization and society. While all these cultures get merged themselves with each other and it is not possible to find out their distinctiveness. This article explores the Social and cultural confluence in the perspective of Diaspora opined in the novel The Hero�s Walk by Anita Rau Badami. The Hero�s Walk spans India and Canada in the context of Multiculturalism. It registers the cross cultural nature towards redefining national discourse within a pluralized Canadian space. Anita Rau Badami explores the cross cultural and traditional conflicts. The novel presumes that the cultural clashes between the East and the West are conspicuous.

 Abstract

Introduction: Effectiveness of established treatment is reduce when there is an inappropriate selection of antibiotic and also lead to the development of resistance. Which increase the cost of treatment as well increase the rate of treatment failure. This observational study is done to assess the antibiotic prescribing pattern which will assist physician to select appropriate antibiotic and reduce the cost of treatment. Methodology: A hospital based prospective observational study was carried out for a period of 6 months in General Hospital Jayanagar, where prescription containing antibiotic were enrolled for study and analyzed for antibiotic prescribing pattern. Results: In total of 114 prescription, 191 antibiotics were prescribed, where Cephalosporin (46.60%) were selected most. Parenteral route were much preferred (76.43%) over oral route (23.57%). 74.87% antibiotics were prescribed as generic name. Ceftriaxone was the most preferred drug as a single therapy. Conclusion: The study clearly concluded that early detection of organism can reduce inappropriate choices of antibiotics. Involvement of clinical pharmacist in prescription analysis of antibiotics can help the physicians on the current prescribing practices, reduce the cost of treatment and development of resistance.

 Abstract

The caste system in Bihar politics has traditionally influenced by caste, religion and gender biased to a large extent. It had been seen that caste based politics play a vital role in establishment of local self government and state government. since the beginning of independence era. After first general election which was held in 1951 till 1967 upper caste dominated the politics and political parties in Bihar. But after 1967, resurgence of middle caste and scheduled caste replace the upper caste in Bihar political scenario. In Bihar political system currently, there are four main political parties: Rashtriya Janata Dal ,Janata Dal United, Bhartiya Janata Party and Indian National Congress. All Four along with some smaller Regional parties like Rashtriya Lok Samta party ,Hindustan Awam Morcha, janadhikar party and many small political parties are playing vital role in Bihar politics while Lok janshakti party is also an important player in Bihar politics. These various political parties try to bring about political and socio-economic changed based on on their particular caste group. Majority of the political parties associate themselves with a particular caste like Yadav, Bhumihar, Brahmin, Rajput, Kayastha,OBC, BC, Dalit and Mahadalit. This is done for political benefits and vote bank politics. Bihar is currently Rule By Janata Dal United and Bhartiya Janata Party coalition. Bihar 52.47percent of the major population are illiterate and around 75% population resides in rural areas of Bihar and the main occupation is agriculture and labourer migrants. Bihar peoples are facing lack of basic facilities like education, Healthcare, roads, irrigation facilities etc. people still following only traditional way of caste based politics rather than Holistic development for their better livelihood.

�No generation has had the opportunity, as we now have, to build a global economy that leaves no-one behind. It is a wonderful opportunity, but also a profound responsibility.� -Mr. Bill Clinton Globalization had an impact on almost all the prevailing professions in the country and its history with legal profession has been more or less of a dynamic and a positive one. The legal profession was regarded as a dynamic field of work even before the concept of globalization but after the forthcoming changes that globalization brought with itself the dynamics of the legal profession shifted towards a more connected and interlocked profession. This research paper might not be the Alpha to Omega of the impact of globalization on the Indian legal profession, but it will focus on the following questions- what was the impact of globalization on Indian legal professionals? What are the views of the Indian Judiciary on India lawyers working with foreign firms? This paper will also discuss the amount of liberty available to foreign legal firms to enter India.

 Abstract

In post-Independence era Nissim Ezekiel stands as one of the most popular poets of India who has his own sense of belonging. It is amazing to find that his vision emerges out to be a kind of enquiry related to assertion of individuality. This is one of the reasons that a deeper religio-philosophical awareness is exhibited in his poetry. He was brought up in a way that he reflects the ideology of liberal humanism. It is also a fact that he left religion altogether after school days because he developed and customized analytical and rational beliefs based upon liberalism. His attitude towards life is secular, logical, rational and humanistic. His sense of belonging is philosophical in a way that it seems driven on the chariots of love and charity. His school of thought knows no barrier which divides mankind on the basis of caste and creed. He enlightens the insight which cries for religion of love and compassion for all. His sense of belonging is so strong that we are automatically reminded about Bombay when we hear his name. To me, it seems that like John Keats his name was also writ on water.
