Cultural conflicts in select Diaspora Novels: Kiran Desai’s The Inheritance of Loss & Jumpha Lahiri’s The Namesake

People are identified by their culture basically. When we know the new culture it will enrich our knowledge but adopting the same and living in an alien land will affect our freedom of thought and life. Folks move from one place to another for all kind of betterment. Change of whereabouts and language from one to other drag the people to a further complicated world. They drop all their hopes towards the newness and try to adjust or struggle for their life in the unexpected circumstances. Man Booker Prize winner, a famous Indian Diaspora writer, Kiran Desai’s The Inheritance of Loss discusses different kind of losses take place by man’s displacement. The characters Biju, Sai and Bela represent the pain and affliction of departers. They are longing for identity and want to create a comfort zone in the alien soil leads them frustrated. Jumpha Lahiri, the Pulitzer Prize winner, put across the same expatriate sensibility in her novel The Namesake. The protagonist Gogol and others Ashoke, Ashima migrate to another country still wants to follow their culture and traditional values there. These novels traced the concept of cultural identity with rootlessness and ancestral expectation. The present paper deals with identity predicament in the basis of cultural conflict through the characters’ strife of unfamiliar terrain

Lifestyle and Social Construct of Tamil People in Ettuthogai

Ettuthogai is the first anthology in Sangam literature. The text gives a clear idea about the ancient Tamil people. Sangam literary texts are about the Sangam period and about the excellence of Tamil language. Tamil people are leading a better life from 2nd century B.C. The fact is that the anthology was composed by the writers who are genuine in their writings and there is no imaginary scenes in the anthology. The writers of the anthology believed that the book will be useful for all generation. The book highlights the ways of life and its qualities, the social restrictions and the various stages of Sangam era. That is why, even after thousands of years, Tamil people and people of other countries who are interested in Tamil language, learns the anthologies that are composed during Sangam era.  Even though the Sangha literature is written in Tamil language, the life style illustrated in this anthology is much more common to the human race. Confusions, dilemmas, and mental problems are the very common problems in the present era. Overall, this article explains about the lifestyle and social construct of Sangam period people

The Use of Buccal Fat Pad in the Treatment of Oral Submucous Fibrosis: A Newer Method

Purpose of the study. This study was to evaluate the use of buccal fat pad as an interpositioning material in surgical management of oral sub mucous fibrosis. Materials and methods. A series of 8 cases with proven oral sub mucous fibrosis, with mouth opening less than 20 mm, involving the buccal mucosa were treated surgically in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, College of Dental Surgery, Saveetha University, Chennai. Pedicled buccal fat pad was used as an interpositioning material to cover the raw areas in the oral cavity after incision and release of fibrous bands. Results. In 8 patients, the range of pre operative mouth opening was 3–18 mm (mean 14 mm). As the result of the successful surgical procedure, the size of the intra operative mouth opening was ranged from 25–38 mm (mean 33.25 mm). The patients were discharged 5–7 days after the operation. The range of the mouth opening at this time was 25–36 mm (mean 30.63 mm). The results were evaluated using student's t test and found to be statistically significant. The pedicled grafts took up uneventfull

AN INTEGRATED ANIMAL HUSBANDRY LIVESTOCK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Agriculture is the main source of income in countryside areas. Animal such as cow, buffalo, sheep, goat play an important role in life of rural and source of income. A Lot of farmers are now tormenting from different diseases and increase breeding cost. In modern era, compact and simple device has made animal monitoring increasingly attractive. However animal heat detection is still a complicated and inconvenient method. A complete integrated information and Communication Technology is described to design and characterize wearable collar monitoring device for Animal monitoring system and also identify the animal health, heat stress and fertility for Artificial insemination during the livestock Monitoring. A wearable collar based device with sensors wear to a neck of the animal is designed in helping user to better manage the animal’s dynamic information retrieving and analysing over a wireless network. Farmer can monitor animal condition at distance via wireless communication and take timely actions in case of emergency.  Cloud based frame work has been proposed for livestock Animal Husbandry which with be beneficial IoT healthcare solution

New approximate fixed point results for rational contraction mappings

In this paper, we investigate approximate fixed point results for ratio[1]nal contraction mappings in a metric space. This manuscript’s inten[1]tion is to demonstrate approximate fixed point results and the diam[1]eter of the approximate fixed point results on metric spaces. Particu[1]larly, we use some rational contraction mappings, which were mainly discussed in Dass and Gupta [1975] and Jaggi [1977]. A few ex[1]amples are included to illustrate our results. Also, we discuss some applications of approximate fixed point results in the field of mathe[1]matics rigorously

Semantically Secured Non-Deterministic Blum–Goldwasser Time-Based One-Time Password Cryptography for Cloud Data Storage Security

The security level of outsourced data is significant in cloud storage. Few research works have been designed for secured cloud data storage. However, the data security level was lower because the authentication performance was not effective. In order to overcome such drawbacks, a Semantically Secured Non-Deterministic Blum–Goldwasser Time-Based One-Time Password Cryptography (SSNBTOPC) Technique is proposed. The SSNBTOPC Technique comprises three steps, namely key generation, data encryption and data decryption for improving cloud data storage security with lower cost. Initially, in SSNBTOPC Technique, the client registers his/her detail to the cloud server. After registering, the cloud server generates the public key and secret key for each client. Then, clients in cloud encrypt their data with the public key and send the encrypted data to the cloud server for storing it in the database. Whenever the client needs to store or access the data on cloud storage, the client sends the request message to the cloud server. After getting the requests, cloud server authenticates the clients using their secret key and Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP). After the verification process, SSNBTOPC Technique allows only authorized clients to get data on cloud storage. During data accessing process, the client data is decrypted with their private key. This helps for SSNBTOPC Technique to improve the cloud storage security with a minimal amount of time. The SSNBTOPC Technique carried outs the experimental evaluation using factors such as authentication accuracy, computational cost and data security level with respect to a number of client and data. The experimental result shows that the SSNBTOPC Technique is able to increases the data security level and also reduces the computational cost of cloud storage when compared to state-of-the-art works
