    Among the aspects of life that are in harmony with the nature that surrounds man, it is the arts and the elements of art that delight the mind, support and delight in being happy, and are greatly desired. In the knowledge mixed with the consciousness inculcated by nature, with the aim of examining everything, some are complex, counterintuitive, and can create contradictions in life. To beautify all of this, to make them aesthetic, to be aware, and to develop positive thinking, the elements of the art form the basis for developing positive thinking, and the ethical ideas contained in it are actionable. Without ethical considerations, literature would be of no use. Even if literature is created with the aim of a work of art, the messages contained in them should be alive and contain good moral ideas. In ancient times, virtues and morals were established by preserving the arts from perishing. People in society were afraid of untrue events. The arts created such fear. The purpose of this article is to examine the virtues of the arts in Aimperum Kaapiyankal, the five great epics

    A relentless mixture of socially conscious human ethnic groups is spreading across human circles. The number of human hybrid groups has increased over the past thousand years as a result of the hybrid system, which began in the Pre-Paleolithic and became more and more widespread. It is clear that Kumari Kandam (a mythical continent believed to have been lost with an ancient Tamil civilization) is the land where a single organism multiplied into various beings and developed into human beings, and that the upright ape that emerged from that land was the beginning of the development of the human race. It can also be well understood that the Dravidian race is the hallmark of that early development of the race. In that order, the Tamil tribal tribes are the Irulas. The Coimbatore district has a large population of tribal people. These illiterate people belong to a generation that lived for about a thousand years. In the social life of the tribal people, from the time of the beginning of religious worship to the present day, the worship of the Goddess of the Forest occupies a special place. The purpose of this article is to examine those methods of worship

    Management of trust is one of the most challenging parts in cloud computing. Cloud service's features such as distributed, dynamic and nontransparentintroduces several challenges for availability, privacy, and security. A method is proposed to have trust as a service between cloud serviceprovider and customer by creating a cloud armor. This proposed methodology is used to make cloud server end and customer end system secure ofany intrusion to their privacy. In this methodology, we will have a user usage pattern log as ever user has its own unique way of using his/her system;hence, in case if any odd user pattern is being encountered it will automatically block the system and simultaneously shoots a message as well as a callto the user notifying him/her about this unauthorized access. This log is set a various small pattern log, for example, keylog, preferable website visited,and time of accessing the system. Further, we have secured these logs using Rivest-Shamir-Adleman algorithm with very large key size

    Get PDF
    Introduction: The study is based on the emission of the greenhouse gases and the control measuresassociated with it. It has been observed from the collected information that the emission levels increased at analarming rate over the last decades for India. The most important greenhouse gases are CO2, Methane, Nitrousoxide, and other gases. Therefore, greenhouse gas emissions impact the atmosphere largely.Purpose: The purpose of the study is to find out ways to control greenhouse gas emissions. The main reason behindthis is termed as the rapid industrial development along with mass consumption of various fossil fuels.Findings: It is found that greenhouse gas emissions impact not only the environment but also humans. Mostly,humans are responsible for the increase of greenhouse gases emissions in the environment. A secondary qualitativeanalysis is used in this study to discuss suitable methods of estimating the concentration level of greenhouse gases inthe atmosphere.Conclusion: In conclusion, it can be said that humans have to ensure that they adopt all the possible ways to reducethe greenhouse gases emissions from the environment. Time based variation of CO2 and CH4 is mainly depicted inthis study along with the concentration of O3 and NOX in the atmospheric air

    Sustainable development aims at optimal use of natural resources, protection and conservation of ecological systems, and improving economic efficiency. It tries to provide food, fuel, fiber and shelter for the ever increasing world population on sustainable basis. Ecosystems like agro, coastal, forest, freshwater and grasslands, and natural disasters are some of the ideal facets for examining the magnitude of the problems and the plausible solutions that need to be generated. Decision-making for sustainable development is a complex process and involves studying trade-offs that need to be made among conflicting goals of different sectors. The present paper examines the scope for Earth Observation (EO) contributions towards the above, and tries to profile the EO capabilities vis-a-vis the systems' information needs. It further identifies the gaps, which EO needs to fulfill towards meeting either the imaging or processing needs of various applications. Considering these, in the next 6-7 years, a host of spacecraft systems carrying different sensors have been planned across the globe including India. Endeavours of NASA, ESA, India, JAXA etc. and complementary data sharing initiatives by International Charter on Space and Major Disasters and the UN agencies are expected to enlarge the scope for increased role of EO data towards the cause of sustainable development

    Background: Allergic conjunctivitis, an ocular surface inflammatory disease with significant social and economic impact affects approximately 25% of the general population. H1 receptor blockers, mast cell stabilizers and drugs that block cytokine and prostaglandin formation form the treatment armamentarium. Olopatadine hydrochloride and Azelastine hydrochloride are dual-acting selective H1 receptor antagonist with mast-cell stabilizing property. This study was undertaken to assess the efficacy and safety of olopatadine hydrochloride 0.1% and Azelastine hydrochloride 0.05% in allergic conjunctivitis amongst Indians.Methods: After obtaining Institutional Ethics Committee approval and written informed consent, 120 patients diagnosed with allergic conjunctivitis fulfilling the inclusion/exclusion criteria were enrolled in the study. Study was done from April 2014 to June 2015 at Minto eye hospital. Study subjects were treated with olopatadine hydrochloride 0.1% and Azelastine hydrochloride 0.05% eye drops BD for 15 days. Ocular symptoms, instead of and signs and adverse events, if any were recorded on the day 8 and day 15 follow up visits.Results: At the end of the study period, the reduction in the ocular itching score from baseline was higher in the olopatadine group compared to the azelastine group (p<0.002). Similarly, the scores of ocular congestion (p<0.008), foreign body sensation (p<0.009), tearing (p<0.001), erythema (p<0.002) and chemosis (p<0.015) also showed larger reduction in the olopatadine treated patients. The common adverse events encountered in both the groups were stinging after instillation, burning, bitter taste and headache.Conclusions: In allergic conjunctivitis, both olopatadine and azelastine were found to be effective in relieving ocular signs and symptoms, but olopatadine was found to be superior in terms of efficacy, safety and tolerability with minimal side effects

    The study of microbial flora on doctors white coats in tertiary care hospital in outskirts of Hyderabad, Telangana, India

    Background: White coats are known to harbour microorganisms; this study aims to determine the microorganisms present on the white coat and investigate the factors associated with contamination, reasons for wearing, usage and attitudes of doctors towards the white coat.Methods: A cross sectional type of quantitative and qualitative study to determine the contamination of white coats. Participants completed a questionnaire and samples were taken from the cuffs and pockets of white coat.Results: 94% of the white coats screened were harbouring organisms. Diphtheroids are the most common bacterial isolate and Aspergillus is the only fungal isolate. The medical speciality, frequent washing and the use of disinfectants is associated with decreased contamination.Conclusions: As white coats harbour microorganisms, this may result in transmission of these microorganisms to the patients and that may result in nosocomial infections, especially in the immuno-compromised. Therefore, measures need to be taken to decrease this risk of transmission by hand washing and frequent washing of white coats with disinfectants.
