Modern information and communication technologies have created a “global village”, in which people can communicate with others across the world as if they were living next door. For this Reasons ICT is often studied in the context of how modern communication technologies affect society. Hearing impairment is a hearing loss that prevents a person from totally receiving sounds through the ear. If the loss in mild, the person has difficulty hearing faint or distant speech.

The present study was embraced to research Value pattern between Government and Private school students. Value pattern was dealt with asdependent variable while Government and Private school were dealt with asindependent. Descriptive survey method was utilized for the presentstudy.An example of 100 secondary school students considering in 10th class in District Jodhpur was chosen through random sampling method.Personal Values Questionnaire (P.V.Q.) (1978) Devised by Sherry and Verma. Would be utilized value Pattern of students. There are total 40 questions and questions are to be answered in Right or Wrong. Measurable strategieslike Mean, S.D. furthermore, t-test were utilized to discover the distinction of Value pattern between Government and Private school understudies. The findingsof the investigation uncovered that female understudies are observed to be moresincerely wise than male understudies.

Samadhi is a state of deep meditative contemplation which leads to higher consciousness. The study here focuses on understanding the concept ‘Samadhi’ and its nature. The study also aims at finding whether ‘Samadhi’ is just a philosophical truth or it is psychological truth.This is based on the speculations that whether Samadhi is the one which is assumed and understood only by logic and reason as metaphysical entity or it is a state of Consciousness which may be attained by man This study also includes probing by taking the interpretations deliberated in Samkhya-Yoga, Integral yoga, and Simplified Kundalini Yoga (SKY). Samadhi means ‘becoming equal to primordial or Brahmam’, according to Vethathiri Maharishi. He reveals that it is not a coma state, but mind will be in complete awareness and the same is appreciated as yoga siddhi. Thus, the state of Samadhi seems to be understood as Psychological truth and Brahmam as Philosophical truth. In SKY, the means to attain Samadhi is Thuriatheetha meditation. Samadhi is not the end of life, but it is beginning of peaceful, happy and satisfied life.

While Globalization has its benefits-millions of people around the world are now more empowered because of global interconnectedness-there are still many problems that can and already have risen from cultural and economic development around the world.

A novel aromatic diamine namely 2,5-bis(3aminophenyl)-3, 4- diphenylthiophene (X) was synthesized and characterized by technique such as, IR,NMR, and mass spectroscopy. A new series of aromatic polyimides was synthesized by low temperature solution condensation of (X) with aromatic dianhydrides. The copolyimides were also prepared from diamine (X) and PMDA and BTDA in different mole proportion under similar experimental conditions. The viscosities of polyimides were in the range from 0.41-0.99 dL/g. The polymers were also characterized by IR spectroscopy, solubility tests, and thermal properties. The polyimides and Co-polyimides obtained are soluble in amide type solvents. These polyimides showed initial decomposition temperature (To) in the range of 516-5400C in nitrogen atmosphere indicating high thermal stability.
