Contemporary Changes in Tamil Cultural Components

Tamils divide life into two parts, internal and external. They divided the life of the thalaivan and thalaivi’s love affairs that happen together as internal and political life and Socio-economic conditions as external. That's why Valluvar has divided it threefold: virtue, pleasure, and charity. If there is to be happiness and peace in life, everyone should impose certain duties and morals on themselves. Such duties and restrictions are called morals. Sanga literary bioethics serve as universal cultural guides that can be used to make life high and pleasant. These morals are eternal and are common to the entire world. The purpose of this study is to study the changes in the lifestyle and culture of the Tamilians who are living in this era, forgetting such high cultural norms

Figurative Elements in Shakespeare's Poetry

Starting with Sangam compositions, today's traditional poetry, new poetry, Haiku, Ganyu, Limerick, Limerick Haiku, Sonnet, and Cuckoo, many kinds of experimental efforts are still lively today. To write a poem in prose order, first, grammatical data such as letters, words, objects, syllables, and patterns are necessary. In the modern living environment, there is not enough time for the creator and the reader. Simple forms like new poems, haikus, and poems are blooming and spreading fragrance in many forms. Imagery is significant in poetic techniques. An image is something that a poet experiences and, thus, clears from his mind. The idea that is used by the poet to express itself through comparing and understanding external objects turns into an image. The poet triumphs over the image as an aesthetic expression of his intention. In this way, this article examines the importance of metamorphoses in Shakespeare's poetry

Collective action and marketing of underutilized plant species: The case of minor millets in Kolli Hills, Tamil Nadu, India

"Minor millets are examples of underutilized plant species, being locally important but rarely traded internationally with an unexploited economic potential. In the Kolli hills of Tamil Nadu, India, a genetically diverse pool of minor millet varieties are grown by the tribal farming communities to meet their subsistence food needs. Most of these minor crops were not traded outside the farming community. Despite a consumption preference among the farming communities for minor millets, in the recent past the acreage under minor millet crops have declined considerably due to the availability of substitute cash crops. As a response, the M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation (MSSRF) based in Chennai has led targeted conservation cum commercialization intervention programs over the last 7-9 years in the Kolli Hills. In this paper we provide a first evaluation of the success of marketing development for minor millets in the Kolli Hills with a specific focus on collective action and group initiatives undertaken by the women and men self-help groups organized by the concerned non-governmental organization. We analyze the key collective actions that are taking place in the minor millet marketing chain through a series of field visits and focus group discussions with the stakeholders involved. We then compare the role of collective action in this new market with the case of marketing chains for cassava and organic pineapples, two cash crops with an expanding production in Kolli Hills. Our analysis shows the critical role of collective action and group initiative as a necessary but not sufficient condition for the successful commercialization of underutilized plant species for the benefit of the poor and the conservation of agrobiodiversity." authors' abstractCollective action, Underutilized species, Agricultural marketing, Agrobiodiversity, Markets, Small farmers,

Complex free energy landscapes in biaxial nematics and role of repulsive interactions : A Wang - Landau study

General quadratic Hamiltonian models, describing interaction between crystal molecules (typically with $D_{2h}$ symmetry) take into account couplings between their uniaxial and biaxial tensors. While the attractive contributions arising from interactions between similar tensors of the participating molecules provide for eventual condensation of the respective orders at suitably low temperatures, the role of cross-coupling between unlike tensors is not fully appreciated. Our recent study with an advanced Monte Carlo technique (entropic sampling) showed clearly the increasing relevance of this cross term in determining the phase diagram, contravening in some regions of model parameter space, the predictions of mean field theory and standard Monte Carlo simulation results. In this context, we investigated the phase diagrams and the nature of the phases therein, on two trajectories in the parameter space: one is a line in the interior region of biaxial stability believed to be representative of the real systems, and the second is the extensively investigated parabolic path resulting from the London dispersion approximation. In both the cases, we find the destabilizing effect of increased cross-coupling interactions, which invariably result in the formation of local biaxial organizations inhomogeneously distributed. This manifests as a small, but unmistakable, contribution of biaxial order in the uniaxial phase.The free energy profiles computed in the present study as a function of the two dominant order parameters indicate complex landscapes, reflecting the difficulties in the ready realization of the biaxial phase in the laboratory.Comment: 23 pages, 12 figure

A subclass of bi-univalent functions related to shell-like curves connected with Fibonacci numbers associated with (p, q)-derivative

In this paper, we define a new subclass of bi-univalent functions related to shell-like curves connected with Fibonacci numbers by using (p, q)-derivative and the coefficient estimates, Fekete-Szego inequalities are discussed for the functions belonging to this class.Publisher's Versio
