 Abstract

This paper aims to delve into the multifaceted culture of beauty and maquillage during the Early Modern period in England, offering a fresh perspective on the societal norms, practices, and perceptions of beauty during this transformative era. By examining a wide range of primary sources, including literary works, personal accounts, and visual representations, this study uncovers the intricate relationship between beauty ideals, cosmetics, and the construction of identity in early modern society. The research explores the significant role played by various factors such as social status, gender, and cultural influences in shaping beauty standards and practices. Furthermore, it investigates the intricate craftsmanship of cosmetic products, their ingredients, and their impact on the individuals who employed them. The paper contextualizes the early modern beauty culture within the broader historical and cultural framework, highlighting its connections to contemporary discourses on morality, power dynamics, and emerging consumer culture. By engaging with diverse sources, the study sheds light on the ways in which beauty practices were entwined with concepts of social hierarchy, religious beliefs, and notions of propriety. Additionally, it examines the social and economic implications of the beauty industry, including the emergence of professional beauty practitioners, and the circulation of beauty advice manuals. Moreover, this research challenges existing assumptions about beauty practices in early modern England, presenting a nuanced understanding of the complexities and contradictions inherent in the culture of beauty during this period. By acknowledging the agency and motivations of individuals in their pursuit of beauty, the study transcends simplistic narratives of oppression or conformity, highlighting the potential for personal expression and self-fashioning within the constraints of societal expectations. This paper offers a comprehensive exploration of the culture of beauty and maquillage in Early Modern England, shedding light on the interconnectedness of beauty ideals, societal norms, and personal agency. By examining the multifaceted aspects of beauty practices and their wider implications, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics between appearance, identity, and social structures in this transformative period of English history.

The present research work deals with toxic effect of Cascabela thevetia L its powdered leaves and stem residues on growth and metabolism on weed Alternathera sessilis L. The production leaves and branches of weed hampered and greatly influenced after 15 and 30th day of sowing. Concurrently its biochemical constituents, such as total chlorophylls, polyphenols, proteins and carbohydrate contents get reduced in the Leaves of Alternanthera sessilis L after the application of leaf and stem residue 15th, 30th and 45th days after sowing. These phytochemicals were greatly diminished as compared to control. Therefore, these toxic residues or allelochemicals may inhibit growth and metabolism of Alternathera sessilis L, hence, allelopathic potential allows introduction of alternative techniques for weed management.

This paper presents a new approach for the design of a multi-wideband microstrip-patch antenna. The radiating elements in this antenna are composed of rectangular slots following a chebyshev distribution of order 10 around a rectangular centre slot, and an additional triangular slot. These slots are engraved in the rectangular and triangular patch, joined together in one structure, and fed by one probe feed. A sample antenna can be used for several applications, especially in the GSM domain, and for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and several other applications.

 Abstract

Indian serials are way too popular among Indian female audiences. There are characters in Indian serials who are really very far from reality. The one who is good is very good, and the bad one is too bad. There is no normal or real life in Indian serials. Indian serials set the criteria for an Indian woman in an imaginary world. Serials have changed the image of Indian women. Every single character is a representation of either goodness or evil. Two extreme sides are often seen in the daily soaps. There are serials like Sasural Gendha Phool and Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya. Hi Kijo, Balika Vadhu, Anupama, Meet, etc. dramatically target the issues of our society. But on the other side, serials like Kumkum Bhagya, Kundali Bhagya, Yeh Rishta kya Kehlata Hai, Sauraal Simar Ka, Nagin, etc. are irrational and for no reason are liked by a huge audience. There are tracks in these serials that are really difficult to digest. Reason, logic, and rationality are far away from these serials. There is no contribution from such serials to society. Multiple marriages, deaths, rebirths, and plastic surgery--moreover, nobody ages in these serials; in fact, every twenty years, the characters become more beautiful and stylish. Women are identified as vamps or heroines only by their appearance. If the woman in serials dresses well or keeps herself in good shape, she is understood to be a bad woman, a negative character, or an enemy of the heroine, like Kavya, Komolika, Maya, Sherlin, Tanu, etc. Undoubtedly, there are shows that have messages for a primarily orthodox society, but that is not the case with all the serials. There were serials in the Indian television industry that were misogynistic. And Ekta Kapoor has changed the scenario to make it misandrist. The Indian television industry has produced a number of serials that have nothing to do with reality. Indian serials also promote superstitions in the audience.

The purpose of this paper is to focus on the outlook for HR practices and paradigm shift that are expected in coming years to be ready to adapt the next generation workforce i.e., 'ALPHA', as 'Generation Z' has already entered in the workforce and experts are talking about Virtual HRD and Agile HR strategies. The Alpha Generation would be more tech- savvy, highly inclined towards competitive salary, thriving in freedom and flexibility. They will be more loyal to their profession and not towards the organization, thus there will be high risk of employee attrition rates to the organizations as the Alpha Gen workforce will be easily shifting to the better paying job or more flexible and independent work environment. Thus, the dimensions of HRM i.e., acquiring, managing, developing and compensation of human resources will face a drastic change. The paper attempts to analyze and answer to the question that 'what those changes would be?' so that the HR executives be able to cope with changes and can have pro-active reaction to the upcoming changes which will be influenced by the alpha generation's characteristics projected in their behavior there by impacting organizational environment.

Suicidal tendencies continue to be a pressing public health concern worldwide, demanding a deeper understanding of the factors that may contribute to their emergence and mitigation. This research paper explores the role of religious orientation in arbitrating suicidal tendencies specifically among adult Muslims. Drawing upon existing literature, theoretical frameworks, and empirical evidence, this study aims to shed light on the potential influence of religious orientation on suicidal ideation, attempts, and related risk factors within the Muslim population. The study hypothesizes that individuals with a higher level of religious orientation will exhibit a reduced risk of suicidal tendencies due to various protective factors associated with religious involvement. These factors may include enhanced social support networks, the provision of meaning and purpose, coping mechanisms, and a sense of spiritual connectedness. Additionally, the research explores potential moderating factors, such as gender, age, and cultural context, that may influence the relationship between religious orientation and suicidal tendencies among Muslims.The findings of this research will contribute to the existing body of knowledge on the interplay between religious orientation and mental health, with specific implications for suicide prevention and intervention strategies within the Muslim community. The outcomes can guide mental health practitioners, policymakers, and religious leaders in developing culturally sensitive and religiously informed approaches to address suicidal tendencies among adult Muslims. By understanding the protective aspects of religious orientation, it is hoped that this research will contribute to the formulation of holistic interventions that effectively promote mental well-being and resilience within this population.
