The Reception Theory has been one of the significant developments in the world of literary theories in the 20th century . It is believed to have emer ged fr om the Phenomenological and Hermeneutical churnings; the former emphasizes a work of art to be an intentional object, being differ ent fr om the r eal and ideal objects and the latter considers a work of art as a means of elevating self-understanding. It is maintained that meaning of a work of art is dynamic, rather than rigid. Understanding of a text is decided by the embedded meaning in the text as well as the horizon of expectations of the r eader . In the same way , a text is consider ed to be a potential structur e which is concr etized by the r eaders and of course successive generations of r eaders. In the light of the Reception Theory “Heaven of Fr eedom” a celebrated poem by Rabindranath T agor e can be understood in the pr esent context.

Antioxidants ar e widely used as ingr edients in dietary supplements in the hope of maintaining health and pr eventing diseases. Antioxidants also pr event food spoilage via food additive. But use of synthetic antioxidants is not safe due to their health risks and toxicity . The sear ch for antioxidants fr om natural sour ces has r eceived much attention to identify compounds that act as suitable antioxidants and r eplace the synthetic ones. In a d d i t i o n , t h e s e n a t u r a l l y - o c c u r r i n g a n t i o x i d a n t s c a n b e f o r m u l a t e d t o g i v e neutraceuticals that can help to pr event oxidative damage fr om occurring in the body . Ther e ar e several types of antioxidants which include vitamins,A.E.C, and B-complex the mineral selenium, Zinc and the synthetic compound BHT and BHA. Epidemiological evidence suggest that consumption of fruits and vegetables my r educe the risk of both cancer and car diovascular disease and it has been hypothesized that this is due in part to the pr esence of antioxidants compounds in fruit and vegetables. Species like Coleus amboinicus, Spilanthus paniculata ar e per ennial herbs commonly used in r egular vegetable combination traditionally . This r esear ch exer cise is an attempt to estimate types and quantity of kinds of antioxidants available in these species.

Due to their important r ole in fast emer ging concept of envir onmental management as bio-indicators and bio-monitors Khan and Sheshagiri Rao (1981), Mahajan (1981).Their abundance in diversity and distribution ar e important parameters in understanding tr opodynamic and tr opic pr ogr ession of water bodies for quality assessment (Mathew , 1975, V erma and Munshi, 1987). The T ipeshwar Lake is situated between 19°53'44.23"N 78°30'37.06"E of the Deccan peninsular Ever incr easing pr essur e of community needs over this lake causes its deterioration, decomposition of lar ge amount of or ganic matter cause oxygen depletion pr oduces toxic gases and gr eatly deteriorates the water quality and hence incr eases in Zooplanktonic (Rotifer) pollution indicator species. Population and types of these species ar e significant parameters in monitoring the extent of pollution in this water body and useful in drawing sustainable wetland management strategies. So that it would help in futur e planning for the r eclamation.

In the traditional Indian social system many of the castes wer e ascribed perticular occupation. Such a r elationship between castes and occupations wer e particularly rigid in the case of the polluting castes i.e. Untouchables. And such occupations wer e consider ed impur e. An untouchable could not change his occupation within a rural setting. Migration to towns and cities enabled him to have a certain measur e of change in the occupational pattern. In this paper I studied the economic life of Dalits who wer e mostly migrated fr om villages to Pune city

Kautilya has often been compar ed with Nicolo Machiavelli, the modern Italian political thinker whose famous r eflections ar e set forth in his thr ee complimentary works: The Art of W ar , The Discourses on King and The Prince. Machiavelli occupies the enviable position of being the first modem political thinker or philosopher in Eur opean history , one who symbolised a r evolution in political theory that r eflected the Renaissance spirit. Kautilya on the other hand. inherited a long tradition of pr e-existing Arthashastra school of thought, to which he had given a modernistic outlook and content. Both Kautilya and Machiavelli wer e concerned with acquisition, r etention and perpetuation of political power . The latter pr ovided an insight into the deplorable conditions pr evailing in Italy during his times and advocated for its unification. Explaining the intellectual qualities of the king Kautilya sought for the expansion of the empir e. But while advocating for mandala-politics, he was a r eligionalist rather than a nationalist. Thr ough this paper I would like to highlight the major similarities and variances of Kautilya and Machiavelli works on state and politics

Irrigation facilities are for more important as decisive factor in crop regionalization than any other determinants. The rainfall pattern and its spatial distribution is the single most important factor for the development of irrigation facilities. The sources of irrigation in Beed district are mainly tank, canals, wells and tube well etc. Due to heterogeneous landscape, the facilities of irrigation are very restricted and limited in the most part of the district. The present paper analysis the average tahsilwise intensity of irrigation in Beed district for investigating spatial pattern of irrigation two indices chose, first intensity and second is ranking of sources in every tahsil. Changes in place of first, second third and fourth made of irrigation sources. The intensity of irrigation is calculated as the average gross irrigated area as the percentage of average gross cropped area on the tahsil level.

These wor ds fr om Malcolm X sound r elevant even today . The world we leave to our childr en depends in lar ge measur e on the childr en we leave to our world. Our hope for a better futur e primarily depends on the young citizen and their abilities to cope with the challenges of the 21st century . Thus education has been given a top priority in every country . India is no exception too. Article 45 of our constitution said “the state shall endeavour to pr ovide within a period of ten years fr om the commencement of this constitution for fr ee and compulsory education for all childr en until they complete the age of 14 years.” Though the commitment sounds very ener getic, it has been har dly achieved even today . The r esponsibility for universal elementary education lies upon central government, the state Government and the local bodies and voluntary or ganizations. Each one has a significant r ole to play her e upon which depends the pr ogr ess of our nation. These institutions have to shoulder the new r esponsibility of maintaining high quality in education, which will cater the needs of the society

Human Resour ce Management (HRM) plays a strategic r ole in the survival of an or ganization. In this time of global financial crisis, Human Resour ce (HR) managers must not only innovate but must also act as change agents, strategists, mentors, counselors and motivators.(1) They must adopt a people-center ed model of management instead of the go-get-them appr oach. The latter appr oach will not only push down the morale of your employees but it will also shove your talented workers fr om leaving your or ganization. Retaining the right employee is a crucial challenge for any HR manager . In the book of Jim Collins “Good to Gr eat”, he does not agr ee with the old adage “People ar e your most important asset”. Accor ding to him, employees ar e not the most important asset of the company but the “right” employees ar e. In a tr oubled economic condition, HR managers must develop a strategy that will keep the most talented employees in your or ganization and at the same time, discourages the “not-so” talented employees fr om hurting the company's operations.Companies thrive only if they cr eate value. What does “value” mean? How do or ganizations transform “value” fr om a lofty wor d to a concept that sticks? The key is to fully engage the employees. Employees must feel like the most valuable component of the business; they ar e the foundation, after all

The contemporary literary scenario is in such a way that the works of art and literatur e fr om various parts of the world, especially fr om the thir d world countries, is gaining momentum. After the pr ocess of decolonization started in literatur e, Eur ocentric notions of the s o called 'universalized' and 'canonized' texts ar e put into question. T he postcolonial writers ar e pr eoccupied with portraying the traumatizing experiences of the colonized and delineating the existing state of affairs in the countries once exposed to colonization. Looked fr om a differ ent perspective, one can easily r ecognize that the decolonized world is a myth and colonizing pr ocess still continues in terms of economic and political contr ol, r eligious and ideological practices etc... The colonies once physically occupied by colonizers have become the western markets that ar e for ced to consume the western pr oducts by the pr essur e of some legal or cultural impositions. The invisible as well as the invincible power structur es between the colonizer and the colonized have bound the colonized society in such a way that even mer e the thought of decolonization itself has become unimaginable. The writer tries to put forth the idea that the colonial endeavours by the colonizers ar e not the things of past with harr owing experience, but they ar e still being pr oceeded and seeking new pastur es, ther eby causing immense evil consequences.

Aloe barbadensis (A. barbadensis L.) Miller, commonly known as aloe vera is extensively used as a base element in preparation of medicine, cosmetics and food supplements. The objective of this study was to find out the stimulatory effect of varying levels of triacontanol (TRIA) in combination with different concentrations of potassium (K) on morphological and biochemical characteristics of aloe vera plants. Treatments included four levels of TRIA (10-0, 10-5, 10-6 and 10-7M) together three concentrations of K (K0, K50 and K100kg/ha). K was applied through basal application whereas TRIA was given by foliar application using a hand spryer. After 12 months growing leaf length, width, number and fresh weight, shoot fresh weight, gel content, nitrogen, potassium and protein contents were measured. Results indicate that the all growth and biochemical characteristics of aloe Vera were highest with the treatment K5010-6M TRIA. Among the TRIA treatments all characteristics were increases from 10-7 to 10-6 but 10-5 have inhibitory effect at which growth and biochemistry of aloe vera were slightly decreases. Among K treatment K50 proved optimum along with 10-6M TRIA.

Climatic changes are no longer a future event, but they are already happening in many places of the world, especially in the Mediterranean region. Extreme weather phenomena are observed almost every day. Climate change will affect the four dimensions of food security: availability, accessibility, food utilization and food system stability. It is evident that a new way of thinking is to be applied by all governments around the globe, a “Global Thinking”. Global cooperation is to be promoted with governments being realistic, so as to accept and adapt to the unavoidable coming alternations, due to the climatic changes. A useful tool has been developed from the scientific community in many countries: The Global Climate Models (GCM), that show a projection of climatic conditions on earth in the future. These models predict those countries that are to be negatively affected by the climatic changes and at the same time they show those countries that are going to be positively affected. Therefore, the old story of “”Losers” and “Winners” comes under the microscope. This shows the way humanity has to proceed in the future. Food security and poverty are to be faced by “Cooperation”. This paper is to examine in the both regions suffer from poverty, malnutrition, disease outbreaks and infrastructural insufficiencies .World Help Organizations must work more targeted and more effectively in removing these barriers and aim their policies in promoting cooperation between these regions of Losers and Winners

These words from Malcolm X sound relevant even today. The world we leave to our children depends in large measure on the children we leave to our world. Our hope for a better future primarily depends on the young citizen and their abilities to cope with the challenges of the 21st century. Thus education has been given a top priority in every country. India is no exception too. Article 45 of our constitution said “the state shall endeavour to provide within a period of ten years from the commencement of this constitution for free and compulsory education for all children until they complete the age of 14 years.” Though the commitment sounds very energetic, it has been hardly achieved even today. The responsibility for universal elementary education lies upon central government, the state Government and the local bodies and voluntary organizations. Each one has a significant role to play here upon which depends the progress of our nation. These institutions have to shoulder the new responsibility of maintaining high quality in education, which will cater the needs of the society.
