Moral Ideas of Kannadasan

Tamil literature has been presenting various moral ideas to the world from time to time. Tamil writers in their text have mentioned about the moral ideas that helps in improving a human life and it is necessary for social upliftment. These texts help us to know about the culture of Tamil people. Today's generation considers virtue as a great act and fails to understand that there are virtues in small actions too. This article breaks the myth that virtues are only mentioned in ancient poetry. This article is also a small attempt to bring out the moral ideas of Kannadasan. It is always a great privilege to do good deeds in human life and we people believe that the good deeds we do in this life will continue in the next life too. Since ancient times virtue is important for an individual to lead a better life. Everyone should do good deeds according to their conscience. This article explores the moral ideas expressed by the poet Kannadasan in his screen songs

Profile of refractive errors and amblyopia in 5-15 yrs of school going children at a Union territory tertiary health centre

Background: Poor vision in childhood affects performance in school and has a significant impact on future life of child in terms of education and development. Current study aims at detecting the magnitude and patterns of refractive errors with amblyopia screening so that effective measures can be planned at the right time to minimize the burden.Methods: Hospital based cross sectional study conducted on 200 children between 5-15 years attending the ophthalmology OPD of a tertiary health care centre, Puducherry. Interpretation and data analysis were done by SPSS software version 13.0.Results: Mean age of presentation was 9 years. Female to male ratio in the present study was 1.3:1. Positive family history was noted among 48 children suggesting strong impact of genetic factor in refractive errors. Among 20 children who were already on spectacle correction, the most common refractive error was compound myopic astigmatism. Among 30 children who were diagnosed with amblyopia, 8 children below 8 years of age had improved vision on 1 month follow up of post treatment with spectacles and occlusion therapy and 22 children did not show improvement suggesting amblyopia can be corrected if intervention was instituted before the age of 8 years.Conclusions:Refractive errors with or without amblyopia is a significant cause of childhood visual impairment. Though it is a hospital-based study, the results were in consistent with previously published hospital and population based study. This study also expected to serve as a tool for primary health care physicians to have an overview of magnitude and patterns of refractive errors in children presenting to hospital since refractive error is a significant public health problem worldwide.Background: Poor vision in childhood affects performance in school and has a significant impact on future life of child in terms of education and development.

SCREENING OF PHYTOCHEMICALS AND IN VITRO ANTIOXIDANT ANALYSIS OF IXORA MACROTHYRSA (TEJISM. AND BINN.)

Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the phytochemical screening and quantitative and in vitro antioxidant analysis of the hydroethanolic leaf extract of Ixora macrothyrsa (Tejism. and Binn.) Methods: The powdered plant material was extracted using different solvents for phytochemical screening. For the quantitative analysis, proteins, carbohydrates, tannins, free amino acids, and proline were estimated. In vitro antioxidants such as ascorbic acid, total phenols, chlorophyll, and carotenoids were also analyzed using standard methods. Results: The preliminary qualitative analysis of the hydroethanolic leaf extract of I. macrothyrsa showed the presence of carbohydrates, proteins, alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, saponins, glycosides, and tannins. The secondary metabolites such as proteins, carbohydrates, tannin, free amino acid, and proline were quantified as 24.57±0.61 mg/g, 11.07±0.09 mg/g, 6.17±0.20 mg/g, 9.20±0.17 mg/g, and 34.47±0.44 mg/g, respectively. In vitro antioxidants such as ascorbic acid, total phenols, chlorophyll, and carotenoid were estimated to be 35.73±0.28 mg/g, 15.9±0. mg/g, 9.33±0.09 mg/g, and 5.9±0.58 mg/g, respectively. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the hydroethanolic extract of the leaves of I. macrothyrsa showed the presence of major secondary metabolites and has potent antioxidant activity

A case report on penicillin/co-trimoxazole induced Jarisch Herxheimer reaction in secondary syphilis with human immunodeficiency virus

The Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction (JHR) typically occurs after the initiation of antibiotic treatment in syphilis. Although JHR was identified and looked at over many years, the prevention and management of JHR remain unclear. Previous reports have described the occurrence of JHR due to antibiotic treatment in syphilis, we presented a case of a young man with recurrence of JHR in syphilis, first due to penicillin which later was worsened due to co-trimoxazole

Smart Antenna for Future Wireless Communication

Long-Term Evolution (LTE) is one of the fourth generation wireless communication technologies with frequencies that vary from 400 MHz – 4 GHz. The proposed antenna array will operate at the center frequency of 3.5 GHz (LTE Band – 22). The microstrip has been selected for this application because of its compact size, narrow bandwidth, higher gain and easy fabrication. The antenna array is fabricated using FR4 epoxy substrate having dielectric constant of 4.4 and the input is given with inset feeding technique. In this paper, the rectangular patch antenna array and E-shaped patch array antenna are analyzed. E-Shaped patch is used instead of rectangular patch because of its vulnerability to interference when formed as an array. The analysis proved that the latter antenna array has better return loss, VSWR value, gain, front-to-back ratio and efficiency compared to the rectangular patch antenna array. The antennas are designed, simulated and analyzed by using ANSOFT HFSS V14.0 software

Size grading Standardization of sieve size for grading of barnyard millet (Echinochloa frumentacea L.) MDU-1

Seed grading is an important practice for better crop and also useful in separation of quality seeds in a seed lot. The aim of grading is to improve the uniformity of the seed lot by removing seeds of the same species with low quality. The present study was carried out to find out the optimum sieve size for size grading of seeds of barnyard millet (Echinochloa frumentacea L.) MDU1. The effect of seed size on physiological parameters were evaluated using BSS 10×10, BSS12×12 and BSS14×14 wire mesh sieves along with control. The barnyard millet seeds graded with BSS12×12 recorded higher seed recovery (76.67%) than other sieves used with required germination (92%), 1000 seed weight (3.9g), root length (14.1cm), shoot length (8.45cm), dry matter production (0.027g/10 seedlings) and vigour index (1983). Hence, seeds of barnyard millet MDU1 could be size graded using BSS12×12 sieve for more seed recovery with required seed quality standards as compared to BSS 10×10, BSS14×14 and ungraded seeds
