Education is meant to bring out the best in man, to develop his potentialities to the maximum, to integrate him with himself, his surroundings, his society, his country and humanity to make him the ‘complete man’, the ‘integral man’. Quality education is the most important aim of learning. We are living in a world of tough competitions. In this globalised world, the most competent persons can achieve their goals. So we must provide quality education to our learners. The relevance of this topic is very high in the emerging modern educational scenario. It is really an attempt to exploit the possibilities of SRG in providing quality education.

The Russian economic turmoil of the 1990s and Yeltsin’s strategic drift resulted in Russia’s geopolitical space 1 shrinking. Russia created the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and the Collective Security Treaty 2 (CST) to interweave the states of the former soviet Union into a political and security architecture. But Russian economy, political and military power was in total disarray and by 1999, Russian power was a mere shadow of its former self.

This place is located about eight kilometers near Aranthangi aluk of the same district. In Avudaiyar temple Tthree major ursava mandapas are constructed to conduct festivals and rituals. These mandapas are constructed by the Sethupathis, the subordinates of Madurai Nayaks and thus the style of the mandapas represent the Madurai Nayak style. There are innumerable Madurai Nayak mandapam, constructed in the province of Tirunelveli and Madurai Region. But the ‘Kodungai’ structure carved in these mandapas of Avudaiyarkoil is excellent in production and it reached its culmination here. One could not find such ‘kodungai’ development anywhere in India. ‘A branch of Madurai Nayak artists who lived in Tenkasi region would have constructed these mandapas says Suresh Pillai. This style is called Tenkasi style.

Photographic waste is the one of the waste produced by the paper and printing industries. Photographic waste usually contains metal ions mostly silver, sodium, potassium and iron. Since silver is photosensitive material and its valuable increase in price. People tend to recover the silver from photographic waste to reuse it in paper and printing industries. Silver is depleted precious resource in the near future it all be used up. In addition to this our country is not produced the metal at this moment. It works report on a novel, simple, fast, cheap method to utilize waste X-ray films for recovering silver using X-ray. A lot of research had been done to effectively recover the silver from photographic waste.

Wrestling is a combat sport involving grappling type techniques such as clinch fighting, throws and takedowns, joint locks, pins and other grappling holds. The sport can either be theatrical for entertainment, or genuinely competitive. A wrestling bout is a physical competition, between two (occasionally more) competitors or sparring partners, who attempt to gain and maintain a superior position. There are a wide range of styles with varying rules with both traditional historic and modern styles. Wrestling techniques have been incorporated into other martial arts as well as military hand-to-hand combat systems. Greco-Roman wrestling and modern freestyle wrestling were soon regulated in formal competitions, in part resulting from the rise of gymnasiums and athletic clubs.

Even during the era of LPG, Indian economy is considered as an agricultural economy. Majority of the rural population still depends up on the agriculture for livelihood. Indian farmers suffer a number of problems.Along with other problems, they face a number of risks and uncertainties like drought, floods, disease,pests, and other natural disasters. The weather is their greatest challenge and is beyond the control. Though, these risks are uncontrollable, the loss suffered by the farmers due to these incidents can be made good through customized insurance products i.e. Crop Insurance. This paper is an attempt to review the performance of select Crop Insurance Schemes viz. Coconut Palm Insurance Scheme (CPIS), Weather Based Crop Insurance Scheme (WBCIS). The author has used three parameters viz. number of farmers insured, sum insured and premium to assess the performance of the schemes. The paper revealed that the number of farmers insured, the sum insured as well as the premium went on reducing over the study period.

Educational research is seeking or searching for knowledge within the field of education. The word research derives from the French word “researcher” meaning to travel through. The formal definition of educational research is a careful systematic investigation of, or “traveling through,” any aspect of education. The search for knowledge can be formal or informal and includes observation, gathering and analysis of performance data, individual case studies and tightly controlled experiments. The search can be conducted by individual teachers, school principals, students, and professors in schools of education or well-funded research organizations. The bottom line is that research helps us understand the education profession.As a Ph.D., scholar, the researcher wanted to find out the ways to make a research quality in its true sense. With this quest, the researcher analyzed various researches and arrives at a design using the following research questions. 1.Whatdoqualitative and quantitative approaches really mean? 2.What are the misconceptions of using qualitative and quantitative researches? 3.What does mixed methods strategies mean? 4.Whatare the strategies usedinmixed methods? 5.How could a quality research be designed to its true sense?

ICTs has the potential to drive innovative and effective ways of teaching-learning and research. The inclusion of learning tools, easier use of multimedia or simulation tools, easy and almost instant access to data and information in a digital form which allows for computations and data processing generates possibilities which were otherwise not feasible. The possibility to diffuse these innovations and complement the learning content to improve quality in higher education through innovative pedagogic methods is high. The focus on ICTs to back quality research through utilization of rigorous research methodology and in-depth analysis is the call of the hour.

The communication market has been growing very fast during the last decade especially for mobile communication systems. The low power, low voltage and low noise (IF) amplifier is one of the most essential building blocks in the communication circuits. Single input and single power (IF) amplifier based on Darlington configuration is designed in this work. Minimum channel length (0.18 µm) of MOSFET Darlington transistors is used to im-prove the performance of MODFETs in high frequency operation, and to reduce the effects of parasitic capaci-tance of MOSFETs in high frequency operation. More-over, the decreasing of channel length of MOSFETs re-duces the value of power supply of the circuit and the consumption power because the threshold voltage of MOSFETs has become smaller.

We already knew that if a linear operator on a finite-dimensional vector space is diagonalizable then we can decompose the linear operator into elementary operators. I moved a step ahead by showing that every linear operator on a finite-dimensional vector space over an algebraically closed field can be decomposed into elementary operators. Further I showed that every linear operator on a finite-dimensional vector space over an algebraically closed field is uniquely expressible as a sum of diagonalizable and nilpotent operators which commute with each other. In the end I discussed how the primary decomposition theorem is used to break complicated differential equations into much simpler equations and thus help you in finding their solutions.

Arabic drama, in its modern form, first came to Egypt with the invasion of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1798 when, in addition to men of letters, Journalists, engineers and persons in fine arts, more particularly in music, accompanied him. They staged some French plays in Egypt and a theatre called Masrah al-Jamhuriyah wa’l Funun was erected. Following the Egyptian Revolution of 1952, a total era of younger playwrights came to the fore who could assemble and develop the premise that had been laid by Tawfiq al-Hakim himself and by other conspicuous pre-insurgency producers, for example, Mahmud Taymur (1894-1973) and Ali Ahmad Bakathir (1910- 69), the last of them had been quite propelled by the verse shows of Ahmad Shawqi.

Al-Mazini, a revolutionary of “Dewan Movement” says “Dr. Taha Hussain is an excellent Storyteller and learned novelist of higher class.” For his contribution to Modern Arabic literature, today Taha Hussain is known in the Arab World as Amid al-Adab al-Arabi (The Dawn of Arab letters). He was a greatest scholar, Prose writer, critic and novelist of Modern Arabic literature. He wrote many novels by which he portrayed his Egyptian society very clearly. Taha Hussain developed his novel further though the application of a new or more appropriate technique every mastered which shows in his novels Al-Ayyam. His autobiographical novel al-Ayyam was published in 1927 in three volumes. The novel al-Ayyam is a factual enough. This book deals with fulfilled aspiration, linking Cairo, via Alexandria, with Paris, via Marseilles. It is the link between the Arab world of Egypt and the Mediterranean world of the west.

The process of evaluation is one of the vital aspects of any programme of education. The question of evaluation of secondary teacher education had been demanding thoughtful considerations and an indepth study. NCTE, as part of their sincere effort to improve the quality of secondary teacher education programme, had showed deep concern regarding the procedures and practices to be followed for evaluating professional competencies of trainee teachers i.e. the evaluation aspect of secondary teacher education programme. A committee was appointed by NCTE in 2005 to deal with the question of evaluation for secondary teacher education. The committee has made several significant recommendations on the evaluation process of secondary teacher education which are relevant till today.

Teachers play a fundamental role in determining what to teach and how to teach using ICT. Teachers are frequently considered to be the most important influence on classroom learning and, as such, play an invaluable role in providing students with the relevant ICT skills and in ensuring that students use ICT effectively inside and outside school. To effectively integrate ICT in teaching-learning process and to improve learning, students and teachers must have sufficient access to digital technologies and Internet connectivity in their classrooms and access to good quality, meaningful, digital content. Teachers need not only know how to instruct pupil to use ICT effectively, but they also require training to use ICT for teaching different subjects in an effort to integrate the use of ICT across the curriculum to enhance the overall learning experience and improve student outcomes including academic achievement. Hence schools must prepare teachers to effectively use the new learning tools in their teaching practices. According to MHRD, Govt. of India ICT should be ‘made an integral part of school education where it is used as an aid to teachers as well as students. Unless teachers are comfortable using computers and internet, they will find it difficult to use it as a teaching aid or to guide students on its use. ICT needs to be harnessed and adapted in Indian conditions to meet diverse objectives’. It becomes increasingly important to obtain information on trends and practices on the use of ICT analyze the role of teachers in integration and use of ICT in teaching-learning process in primary and secondary schools in Kolkataand to examine ifteachers use the new digital ICT tools and resources efficiently to create more effective and engaging student-centered learning environments.

Ethics are important in every industry and financial industry is no exception since it enables flow of fund between savers and companies. However past years have witnessed irresponsible and unethical behavior of companies which has eroded investor’s confidence on them. Now the new generation of young people have different outlook, they demand greater transparency in operations of firms and accountability. Investments are not only considered as source of return but a powerful weapon through which they can bring wishful change in attitudes of companies. Investors, nowadays set some tandards on environment, social and governance parameters and invest only in such company’s which meet those standards. This has introduced elements of subjectivity and complexity in financial markets since each investor has his own standards which differ from others. The purpose of this paper is to explain the concept of Socially Responsible Investments, what lead to emergence of this concept , what is it that differ a socially responsible investor from conventional investor and lastly an attempt is made to draw attention on issues associated with Socially Responsible Investment.

Teachers are having more responsibilities than anyone else to cater to the needs of disabled children. Dedication and determination in the profession are essential for doing service to the community, especially disabled community. If they are not committed to this cause, they do injustice to the profession. Parent’s role is very crucial to develop the child with mental retardation because of various factors like social stigma, unaware of the developmental milestones etc. Parents are to be educated to develop the child with mental retardation a proper manner. Almost all parents are psychologically affected be knowing their child is mentally retarded.

Listening plays an important role in teaching learning interaction. Metacognitive listening strategies help listeners in managing, regulating, and directing their learning input which is essential for learning. Most teaching learning interaction is directed towards academic achievement. The purpose of the study is to understand the correlation between use of metacognitive listening strategies and academic achievement as listening is the source and academic achievement is the destination of most teaching learning interactions. To achieve this goal, a sample of 150 PG students was selected from Panjab University. Metacognitive Awareness Listening Questionnaire (MALQ) was used for data collection. Mean, SD and correlation coefficient were used for data analysis. Result showed that positive correlation between academic achievement and metacognitive listening strategies.

The paper focuses on the use of what we (in western countries) call “complementary medicine” or traditional medicine. The research study has been carried out by the Authors in a healing temple in South India, namely the temple of Muthuswamy in the village of Velayuthampalayampudur, Dindugal District. The temple was built over 60 years ago around the tomb of Muthuswamy, a man who lived in the village a century ago. According to the local legend, a mere touch of his hands could cure many ailments, especially mental illness. After Muthuswami’s death the villagers built the temple and over time it began to attract mentally ill patients.

At a basic level, iconography involves description, identification, and classification of artworks as a means of studying their development over time and variations in their forms across regions. These studies rely on close visual analysis and the correlation of images with relevant written texts. Beyond this, the role of iconographical analysis is to understand what images mean and how they function as part of larger historical, sociopolitical, and intellectual contexts. Scholarship on Hindu images is characterized by both descriptive and interpretative levels of analysis. Following the main themes outlined in published works, this article charts the historical development of Hindu images in various media from the formative through the modern periods and highlights their meanings in different contexts: secular and religious; domestic and public; and local, regional, and global. Discussion of regionalism and sectarian identity are balanced with examinations of crossovers among sects, regions, and religions.

The Indian economy is firmly on the path of steady growth. Even during the last decade when other countries were in the grip of a massive slowdown, India continued to enjoy a comfortable economic position. This recent spurt in growth is propelled by radical reforms such as the removal of restrictions on foreign investment and industrial de-licensing. The Government has to play a crucial role in providing the industry with a favorable investment climate in terms of better infrastructure support, institutional finance at affordable rates of interest, and designing fiscal policies aimed at promoting accelerated growth of the manufacturing sector. In particular, special efforts are needed to upgrade infrastructure facilities. The overall increase in the country’s productivity lies in the infusing of new innovative ideas in the productivity of all the commodities. This research essay is explaining the innovative techniques used in the automotive sector in particular the innovative technique used in the paint shop of Hindustan Motors Limited have increased more than double the productivity.

We present a recent proof, that any linear operator in a complex limited dimensional vector space states eigenvectors. The argument avoids the use of the fundamental theorem of algebra, which can then be deduced from it. Our presentation avoids any appeal to the theory of causes. To prove the fundamental theorem of Algebra using differential calculus, we need to Extreme value theorem for valued function of two original variables, which we state without proof.
