The Existential Quest of Tennessee Williams’ Camino Real: A Study of his Symbolization

Tennessee Williams is one of the most popular dramatists of the modern American Literature and his plays, explicitly, have the ten basic components of existentialism. He has drawn upon all ten element of a unique existential –familiar form to project his concern for those “beautiful people who give up with such grace”.  He has an affirmation of life, freedom and the creation of one’s own being, angst, dasein, the call of care, human relationships and spiritual growth, authentic values, and concrete experience into a distinctive dramatic form. That is why he presents a unified amalgamation of these views in his treatment of the dramatic constituents: subject, theme, dramatic action, characterization, dialogue, symbol, set and lighting design, and a vision of reality. This research paper is mainly concerned with Williams’ application of symbols, in his play Camino Real1 presented in 1953

Thermal SZ effect in a magnetized IGM dominated by interacting DM decay/annihilation during dark ages

During cosmic dawn, the thermal history of the universe is well studied, and a study of this era can give us some of the most useful insight into the universe before the recombination epoch. Its precise modeling and future high-precision measurements will be a valuable tool for determining the thermal history of the universe. In the present work, we study the thermal and ionization history of IGM in the presence of decaying magnetic fields via ambipolar and turbulent decay, Baryon-Dark matter (BDM) interaction, including the DM decay/annihilation. The BDM interaction cross-sections considered are of the form $\sigma=\sigma_0 v^{n}$, where $n=-2$ and $n=-4$. In this work, we show that in the current scenario, the decay/annihilation of the DM particles have a considerable impact on the temperature and ionization histories at low redshift. With the addition of the concept of fractional interaction, which states that if a fraction of the DM particles interacts with the baryons, the temperature and ionization fraction of the baryons show a strong dependence on the percentage of DM particles interacting with the baryons. We have also studied the interesting consequences of the present scenario on the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect. We show that the highest value of the absolute value of the mean $y-$parameter in the current DM decay/annihilation scenario is well within the values derived from experimental data such as PLANCK, FIRAS, and PIXIE. Later we calculate the bound on the ordinary magnetic fields originating from the Dark photons.Comment: 16 page, 23 Figures (Comments and suggestions are welcome

Evaluation of clinicopathological profile of subjects with intrauterine fetal death

Background: Intrauterine foetal death is an immense emotional burden for everyone concerned specially in the last trimester. Therefore, it is very important to find out, what has happened. Evaluation of clinical and pathological profile of women presenting with intrauterine foetal death has evoked great interest among the obstetricians.Methods: The prospective observational study was conducted in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology N.S.C.B. Medical College Jabalpur during 1st June 2012 to 31st October 2013. A total of 155 intrauterine foetal death subjects admitted during this period were evaluated. Clinically and laboratory profile of subjects done.  Histomorphology of placenta was performed in each case. Full HPR finding were then correlated with clinical and laboratory findings of subjects.  Results: Poor vascularity of villi and fever were significantly associated (p<0.01). Hypertension and Convulsion and fibrinoid necrosis, syncytial knot and placental infarcts were significantly associated (p<0.001) Premature placenta is associated with cytotrophoblastic layer (p<0.01). Conversely post mature placenta is associated with calcification and infarction.  (p<0.01).  Conclusions: All placentae associated with foetal death have either gross or microscopic abnormalities. Present study is a step towards understanding and extrapolating the already known causes of intrauterine foetal death in the perspective of Jabalpur and its adjoining districts

Role of Diet, Fasting and Drugs in Blood Purification and Prevention of Diseases based on Charak Samhita

Ayurveda is the science which deals with individual as a whole rather than mere focussing on sign and symptoms and hence is individual specific and all about the knowledge and existence of "Ayu" which is nothing but the conjunction and continuation of four components i.e., Sharira, Indriya, Satwa and Atma, where Sharira and Indriya are tangible while Satwa (Manas) and Atma are intangible. Individual is the epitome of the universe and hence affected and influenced at both gross and subtle level and three sub-pillars i.e., Aahar, Nindra and Brahmacharya have huge impact in all the dimensions of Ayu directly affecting the state of health and hence happiness when used wisely, again vitiation of Doshas and manifestation of diseases when used unwisely (Pragyaphradha).&nbsp;&nbsp; Aacharya Sushruta has considered Rakta as 4th Doshas, so the importance of proper formation and its role in formation and maintenance of other Dhatus and Ojas depends entirely on the diet and life style of each and every individual. The properties of pure blood and also of impure blood along with every factor either physical or emotional affecting the Rakta has been told with enumeration of various pathological conditions arising out of this

A rare case of sirenomelia with total bilateral cleft lip palate and kyphoscoliosis

Sirenomelia, a rare congenital deformity, has fused lower limbs with variable combination of visceral anomalies. This condition is fatal within a day or two of birth so early antenatal detection and pregnancy termination is advocated. Antenatally it can be diagnosed by ultrasonography showing oligohydramnios, renal agenesis and fibulae positioned between the tibiae. A 24 years old Muslim primigravida came for first antenatal check up at 18 weeks of pregnancy. She didn’t turn up and came directly in emergency at 37 weeks in active labor and delivered a baby weighing 1.8 kg with a small sized placenta, complete bilateral cleft lip palate, Kyphoscoliosis and fused lower limbs upto ankles. Baby expired after 25 minutes of birth. Till now around 300 cases of Sirenomelia have been reported worldwide. All human cases of Sirenomelia have been found to be associated with variable degree of renal and urethral dysplasia or renal agenesis. External genitalia are affected, whereas gonads remain unaffected. In rare cases Sirenomelia is associated with upper body defects including cleft palate, cervical and upper thoracic vertebral abnormalities, pulmonary hypoplasia and cardiac defects
