 Abstract

Since the last five decades, India has been grappling with the threat of Naxalism. The Naxal movement in India was founded upon Mao-Tse-Tung's radical philosophy. Its impact is growing steadily through the mobilization of rural India's discouraged, oppressed, vulnerable, and underprivileged people. In India, about 223 districts in 20 states have been affected by Naxal violence. In this movement, more than 20,000 armed cadres are operating. Its primary goals are to challenge the exploitative nature of state machinery and combat the security forces' brutal oppression. In return, the state wishes to re-establish law and order by encountering the Naxalites violently without caring for their human rights. This paper is divided into four parts in this context. The initial segment explores the origin and evolution of Naxalism in India. The next segment is concerned with the sensitivity and strategies of Naxalites. The third section delineates the state's violent suppression to neutralize the Naxal insurgency. And the last section consists of 'Salwa Judum' and violations of human rights in the 'Red Corridor' of India, and it also proposes several remedies.

 Abstract

Water quality of a water body is characterized by its physico-chemical and biological features. All these features reflect on the pristine nature of the river. Due to unplanned urbanization, rapid growth of industrialization and other anthropogenic activities such as dispersal of dead bodies, discharge of industrial and sewage wastes, the quality of a Ganga river body is deteriorated day by day. The present study is an attempt to demonstrate the rate of deterioration of the water quality of river Ganga at Patna, Bihar and its effects on the primary productivity of the river. For this, various physico-chemical and biological parameters i.e pH, DO, BOD, total coliform and faecal coliform, were studied for one year from April 2018 to March 2019 and noticed the changes on these parameters due to urbanization, agricultural runoff and other anthropogenic activities. The result conclude that such as pH, DO and BOD parameters are well within the limit, but total coliform and faecal coliform found beyond the prescribed standard limits in the present investigation hence water quality of this Ganga river water is deteriorated at Patna. Water quality of this river is also not suitable of growth of phytoplanktons, bathing and domestic purpose.

 Abstract

Policy rates are imperative parameters to determine the track of the economy. The fluctuation of policy rates ought to have several consequences on the economy. People in general ponder a lot on the banks rates that they enjoy and end up blaming the central bank for ever declining rate of returns on their hard earned money. What they completely overlook is the inflation factor. This paper talks about the policy rates, effective commercial bank rates and how good or bad it is when the interest earned is lower than they assumed.

 Abstract

The term �emotion� has been derived from Latin word �emovere�, which means �to move�, �to excite�, �to stirrup� or �to agitate�. In Psychology, �maturity� is the ability to respond to the environment in an appropriate manner and this response is generally learned but not instinctive. Emotional maturity is defined as how well we are able to respond to situations and behave in an adult manner while dealing with others. As the post graduate students are considered as adults and after completion of their course, they may be going for different kinds of jobs or business and hence they will be facing different situations at different times. Therefore it is the responsibility of the teachers to make their students aware of the situations and how to deal with them in a proper way, through providing them proper guidance, so as to make them responsible citizens. Hence an attempt has been made to study the emotional maturity of post graduate students, who are generally considered as adults with some maturity. 100 students studying in 5 different post graduate colleges and affiliated to Rayalaseema University were taken as a sample for the present study. The investigator employed random sampling method for the present study. Emotional Maturity Scale developed by Singh & Bhargava (1998) was used to measure emotional maturity. The data was analyzed by using both descriptive and as well as inferential statistics. Mean, standard deviation and t-test were employed to analyze the data. The findings revealed that there is a significant difference between M.Ed. and non M.Ed. post graduate students in relation to emotional maturity and there is no significant difference in emotional maturity of post graduate students belonging to Kurnool and other districts.

 Abstract

Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.), a rhizomatous herbaceous monocot plant prone to many diseases. Colletotrichum capsici causing severe leaf spot foliar disease cause reduction in yield due to loss of photosynthetic area. Colletotrichum leaf spot was wide spread disease making its appearance in all the localities of Nizamabad district of Telangana. Maximum percent disease incidence was recorded in kondapoor village (52.50%) and the minimum incidence was recorded in Ankapoor (36.36%). Diseased leaf samples were collected for further study to know the efficacy of two botanicals viz, Iron weed & Marijuana at different concentrations (5%, 10%, 15%) on the radial growth of Colletotrichum capsici in PDA medium. The growth of pathogen was recorded at 48hrs and 72hrs after incubation. All the concentrations of two botanicals tested shows significantly reduced the radial growth of pathogen as compared to control. Among the two botanicals highest inhibition was observed with T2-Iron weed at 5% conc. (66.8% at 48hrs & 75.2% at 72hrs) , at 10% conc. (73% at 48hrs & 80.2% at 72hrs ) and at 15% conc. (80.9 at 48hrs & 86.7% at 72hrs) followed by T1-marijuana at 5% conc. (63.3% at 48 hrs & 73.5% at 72hrs), at 10% conc. (67.2% at 48hrs & 77.9% at 72hrs) and at 15% conc. (76.6% at 48hrs & 84.3% at 72hrs) after incubation respectively.

Abstract Background: The objective of the study was to reassess the efficacy of the open onlay technique for repair of incision hernia, utilizing the modern adjuncts of components separation and fibrin sealant to reduce the principal complications of seroma and recurrence. Incisional hernia was defined as <10 cm transverse diameter. Methods: A retrospective audit was applied to 116 patients undergoing open onlay incisional hernia repair during a 2-year period at a single institution. Information was collected concerning operative details, postoperative complications, and recurrence. Clinical review at a median 15.2 months postoperatively was followed in OPD with structured questionnaire to assess quality of life. All patients with pain or suspected recurrence were recalled for examination. Results: Fascial closure required components separation in 21 (18.1%) patients when tension-free fascia reconstruction was not possible, and fibrin sealant was applied in 22 (18.9%) in whom extensive skin flaps were dissected beyond the semilunar line. Postoperatively, there were 11 (9.5%) seromas and 2 (1.7%) deep wound infections. At 15.2 months� follow-up there were 4 (3.4%) recurrences. Conclusions Open onlay mesh repair for ventral hernia is a versatile operation applicable to all quadrants of the abdominal wall and gives excellent results when used in association with components separation and fibrin sealant.

Abstract Diasporic theory, a significant part of English literature portrays about the writings of the fondness of the motherland and the experience of immigrants in an alien land.The immigrants from the native land to new country, whatever the reason for migration may be social, economical, religious, political, as labourers, as preachers, as exiles, or a workers, or in search for better life. They have to adopt the new environment in the new land to survive. They have to torn between the two homes and two languages. Most of the immigrants suffer from the memories of their homes. Everyone migrants should face the experience of agony by the dominant host society. Immigrants don't want to detach from their motherland. They wants to continue their tradition and culture in their new land. The first generation immigrants faces problems in clothing and food.They wants to pass their own tradition and cultures to the future generation safely. From the endeavour they faces many issues like nostalgia, loneliness, dislocation, alienation and rootlessness. Due to the discrimination on the basis of race, culture, religion they leads to conflict for their dual identity. Those desolated immigrants in certain situation starts writing their feelings. They prompts to write to share their experiences in the alien land .Their main themes of these diasporic writings are dislocation, loneliness, unsettlement...This paper views about the experience of Indian diasporic writer and novelist Bharathi Mukerjee in her novel Jasmine. The protagonist Jasmine crosses many phases throughout in her journey .In her journey she portrays in many names to sustain in her life.

Abstract: This present study describes of gastroretentive floating tablet, it was fabricating with different concentration of two polymers of different grades. The formulated tablets were evaluated in different parameters like hardness, friability, weight uniformity, buoyancy, swelling index and dissolution release profile. Oral drug delivery system is the most preferred route of administration for drug delivery. In the development of the drug delivery system many components play important role. Polymers are amongst those components which have evolved with the drug delivery system. Polymers are the macromolecule compound containing many monomer units joined to each other by bonds. The floating drug delivery systems (FDDS) become an additional advantage for drugs that are absorbed primarily in the upper segments of gastrointestinal (GI) tract, i.e., the stomach, duodenum and jejunum. The purpose of writing this review on floating drug delivery systems (FDDS) was to focus on the types of floating drug delivery systems, principal and mechanism of floatation to achieve gastric retention and polymers used in floating Drug delivery systems. Polymers used in the drug delivery system are of two types Natural and Synthetic based on their origin. Both types of the polymers have some advantages and disadvantages. This particular article gives information about the different types of natural and synthetic polymer used in the drug delivery system. Natural polymers like guar gum, chitosan, xanthan gum, Gellan gum and sodium alginate are mentioned in the article. Synthetic polymers mentioned are HPMC, Eudragit, and Ethyl cellulose.
