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

Assessment of Adaptability through Monetary Fringe Benefits during Covid Crisis for Job Retention

Providing special benefit to the employees is important to enhance the employee relationship and satisfaction level. Monetary benefit during the pandemic is another crucial part that made the entire process better in the business area. Offering flexibility in terms of work hours, location, or job responsibilities can also help improve job retention. Employees who have more control over their work-life balance are generally happier and more likely to stay with their employer. Providing recognition and rewards for good performance can help improve employee morale and job satisfaction. This can include bonuses, promotions, or other financial incentives. The primary data collection and analysis has been adopted in this study to ensure a valid and authentic outcome. It has been seen that providing a huge financial benefit to the employees is helpful to manage the employee retention in the business unit during the covid crisis

Diversity and distribution of cardinal fishes in Indian coastal waters with an occurrence report of spot fin cardinal fish Apogon queketti from Central south west coast of India

The family Apogonidae is a specious family with 346 species, in which most of them marine and some thrive in brackish water. These are commonly referred to as cardinal fishes, which seldom reaches a maximum size of 20cm . Sixty five species of this family have been reported from Indian waters. Apogon queketti is a valid species and two taxa have been synonymized with this viz., Apogonichthys queketti and Jaydia queketti. The genus Apogon which contains 108 valid species are mostly marine, living on sandy and muddy bottom of the continental shelf

Laser diagnostics for characterization of sprays formed by a collapsing non-equilibrium bubble

In this paper, we investigate the use of laser diagnostic tools for in-plane imaging of bubble induced spray using a laser sheet and Mie scattering technique. A perspex plate of thickness 10 mm with a hole of diameter 1 mm in the center is placed in the middle of a glass tank filled with water such that the top surface of the plate coincides with the water surface. A bubble is created just below the hole using a low-voltage spark circuit such that it expands against the hole. This leads to the formation of two jets which impact leading to a spray and break-up into droplets. The spray evolution is observed using a laser sheet directed in a plane through the center of the hole. The illuminated plane is imaged using a high-speed camera based on the Mie scattering from glass beads suspended in the liquid. Results show that Mie scattering technique has potential in studying bubble-induced sprays with applications such as in fuel sprays, drug-delivery etc, and also for validation of numerical codes. We present results from our ongoing experiments in this paper

Günümüzde Sri Lanka'nın Trincomalee Bölgesi'nde satılan antidiyabetik etkili yeşil yapraklı sebzeler

Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce insulin or cannot use insulin effectively. In Sri Lanka, 1.2 million people among the age group of 20 to 79 were affected by diabetes in 2019. Biomedicine antidiabetic medications cause common side effects such as bladder cancer, dehydration, sinusitis, kidney illness, and urinary infections. Consumption of green leafy vegetables minimizes the risk of developing diabetes. Hence, this work aims to identify and document the green leafy vegetables currently sold in Trincomalee District in Sri Lanka by performing fieldwork visits to the main markets and the surrounding green leafy vegetable kiosks, shops, superstores, and streets from January 2019 to June 2021. The levels of antidiabetic scientific evidence available for the identified green leafy vegetable species were assessed by recognizing the relevant published works in the electronic databases Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, etc., until September 2021. A total of 99 green leafy vegetable species from 43 families were recognized. The majority of the green leafy vegetables had in vivo (33%), followed by in vitro (16%) and clinical (9%) as scientific evidences. Also, 49 antidiabetic compounds were already isolated from the identified green leafy vegetables. This study forms a foundation for further studies using the green leafy vegetable species in Trincomalee.Diyabet, insülinin vücut tarafından üretilmediği veya etkili bir şekilde kullanılamadığı bir hastalıktır. 2019 yılında, Sri Lanka'da 20 ila 79 yaş arası 1,2 milyon kişi diyabetten etkilenmiştir. Biyomedikal antidiyabetik ilaçlar, mesane kanseri, dehidratasyon, sinüzit, böbrek hastalığı veya idrar yolu enfeksiyonları gibi yaygın yan etkilere neden olabilir. Yeşil yapraklı sebzelerin tüketilmesi diyabet gelişme riskini azaltır. Bu çalışmada, Ocak 2019-Haziran 2021 tarihleri arasında, Sri Lanka'nın Trincomalee Bölgesi'nde bulunan başlıca pazarlarda ve yeşil yapraklı sebze satan büfeler, dükkanlar, süpermarketler ve sokak satıcıları ziyaret edilerek yapılan saha çalışması sonucunda satılan yeşil yapraklı sebzeleri belirlemek ve raporlamak amaçlanmaktadır. Tespit edilen yeşil yapraklı sebze türleri için mevcut antidiyabetik etkisine yönelik bilimsel kanıt seviyeleri, Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus vb. elektronik veri tabanlarında Eylül 2021'e kadar yayınlanmış ilgili çalışmalar tanınarak değerlendirilmiştir. Toplamda 43 familyaya ait 99 yeşil yapraklı sebze tanımlanmıştır. Bilimsel kanıt olarak, yeşil yapraklı sebzelerin çoğu üzerinde yapılmış in vivo (33% ) çalışmalar olup daha sonra, in vitro (16%) ve klinik çalışmalar (9%) gelmektedir. Ayrıca belirlenmiş yeşil yapraklı sebzelerden izole edildiği bilinen 49 antidiyabetik etkili bileşik bulunduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışma, Trincomalee'deki yeşil yapraklı sebze türlerinin kullanımına yönelik sonraki çalışmalar için bir kaynak oluşturacaktır

Cone Beam Computed Tomography Assisted Immediate Implant Placement in Anterior Maxilla and Mandible

AIM : The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of cone beam computed tomography and clinical outcome of immediately placed implants in anterior maxilla and mandible. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a prospective study conducted on patients who reported to the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery in Ragas Dental College, Chennai. A total of 10 patients with unsalvageable upper and lower anterior teeth were included in the study. The accuracy of cone beam computed tomography is assessed by comparing tooth and bone dimensions and clinical outcome was evaluated by radiographically by 3 month, 6month. RESULTS: The percentage of accuracy of cone beam computed tomography in assessing the width of the teeth is 98%, length of the teeth is 99.06%, labial bone thickness is 88.98% and palatal bone thickness is 97.14%. The clinical outcome is evaluated by Albrektsson’s criteria, where the mean marginal bone loss was 0.3 mm,9.09 % had periimplant radiolucency around implants, 9.09% had infection, all the implants exhibited good osseointegration and were asymptomatic. CONCLUSION: The implants placed into the extraction sockets will heal predictably and therefore cause reductions in the number of surgical interventions and in the total span of treatment time. In the present study, we got 98% accuracy in width of the tooth, 99.06% in measuring the length of the tooth, 88.98% in measurement of labial bone thickness and 97.14% in palatal bone thickness in the cone beam computed tomography by comparing clinically
