Abstract: In natural science, an atavism defines a reform of a biological structure by which an inherited characteristics reappear after having been lost through evolutionary changes in previous generations. According to social sciences, atavism defines a reversal of cultural tendency, for example, people in the modern era revert themselves to the ways of thinking and acting of a former time. In the 1870 Italian criminologist Cesare Lombroso introduced the concept of atavism as part of an individualistic explanation of the causes of criminal deviance. The human hand and the primate hand share a number of general characteristics. To recognize the potential sociopath and psychopath in our mind, we should evaluate atavistic signs in our hands. The main objective of this research is to identify primitive markings of hands which correlated to atavistic behaviors of humans. Method of this research is obtaining the handprints of people who have atavistic behaviors and also normal people and examine them. Then it will compare with the signs and markings of apes hand and their behaviors. Comparative study shows that atavistic features are indications of abnormal behaviors and do not necessarily indicate the presence of a personality disorder. High percentage of primitive features can be seen among criminals.  In conclusion I confirm that hand analysis can be used to recognized atavistic behaviors and degeneracy tendencies.

Abstract: During the period of 800-1200 A.D., South India became the centre of political activity. In the beginning of the ninth century, the Pallavas who were a great force were on the decline. The Chalukyas of Badami were by now overthrown by the Rashtrakutas. The latter were engaged in several wars and alliances with northern and southern kingdoms. Temple development in southern India started during the Chalukya rule in the early 7th century. These temples were inspired from the Buddhist architecture. The Cholas who were the feudatories of the Pallavas began to assert their power and were able to replace the Pallavas. The emergence of the imperial Cholas marked the beginning of a new stage in south Indian history. Under their domination, art and culture reached new heights whose influence was felt even in the countries of South-East Asia. Temple architecture in South India reached its pinnacles under the rule of imperial Cholas (850 - 1250). Early Chola temples however, are not as large as the ambitiously planned Pallava Kailashnatha or the Vaikunthaperumal temples at Kanchipuram. Development in early Chola architecture consists, instead, in perfecting the unique elements of the Dravidian style and combining them harmoniously with new forms in astonishingly diverse ways. The Chola king  Rajarajesvara built one of the finest Dravidian style temple namely Briahadisvara appears to have been an entirely new foundation, a royal monument of power. The components of this temple are peculiar in its architectural style and one of its kind. The Cholas greatly made use of art to proclaim their power, used temples to make unequivocal statements about their political hegemony.

Abstract: The inhibitive action of 2-Mercapto -1- Methyl imidazole on zinc metal has been evaluated in 0.5 N H₂SO₄ as corrosion medium using weight loss, gasometric and thermometry techniques. Parameters such as inhibition efficiency and corrosion rates were evaluated to assess the performance of the inhibitor. The results revealed that the inhibitor shows good corrosion inhibiting properties. The inhibition efficiency was found to increase with increase in the inhibitor concentration. The Temkin adsorption isotherm gave the best fit for the inhibitors. The surface morphology of the zinc metal was characterized by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) in the absence and presence of the inhibitors.

Abstract: There are vast amount of phytochemicals which can act as antioxidants in the natural means.  Plants are one of the rich source of natural antioxidants. Antioxidants are the compounds which can prevent oxidation reaction. Besides this, they can also contribute metabolic activities in plants.  In the present study, tubers were examined to determine their antioxidant potential. For this purpose, five native tubers namely Dioscorea esculenta, Borassus flabellifer, Solanum tuberosum, Ipomoea batatas and Manihot esculenta were selected. Among the five selected tubers, the highest phenolic content was observed in Manihot esculenta (0.183mg/100g) and was found to be least in Dioscorea esculenta (0.0598mg/100g). Tannin, flavonoid and alkaloid were found to be high in Dioscorea esculenta (1909.9mg/100g, 225mg/100g and 914.24mg/100g respectively). Tannin was found to be minimal in Solanum tuberosum (229.99mg/100g).  Flavonoid was observed to be least in Solanum tuberosum (88.7mg/100g) and alkaloid was least in Ipomoea batatas (427.39mg/100g).  High concentration of saponin was found in Borassus flabellifer (32.7157mg/100g) and was low in Solanum tuberosum (4.715mg/100g). Terpenoid was found to be the highest in Solanum tuberosum (60.41mg/100g) and lowest in Manihot esculenta (45.828mg/100g).  The study reveals that the selected tubers contain antioxidants namely, alkaloid, flavonoid, phenol, tannin, saponin and terpenoid.  Low tannin is favourable for our health.  So, Solanum tuberosum (229.99mg/100g) is the good source for tannin. Because of the present relevance of natural antioxidants in modern medical field, this study would be a leading path way of information for selection of the extract for various pharmacological activities.

Abstract: The core of the culture is formed by the values which are not visible but are shared by people even when membership in group changes. Shared values and norms focus employees attention on organizational priorities and guide their behavior and decision making. It is in the leadership procedure that the impact of culture turns out to be most noticeable.

The objective of this study is to analyze the connection between transformational leadership style and organizational culture and their joint impact on the organizational performance and innovation This paper set out to see if independently or mutually leadership and culture affects organizational performance and innovativeness to gain competitive advantage. In an evaluation of studies of organizational culture, transformational leadership style, iinovation and organizational performance, it emerged that, while some evidence exists of links between organizational culture and performance and between leadership style and performance, along with innovativeness. The combined study of all these concepts has been lacking. The reason for the review is to draw on a research study that included literature survey to analyze organizational culture typologies on firm’s performance and innovativeness and also noticing the changes between transformational leadership style and performance and innovation.

Consequently, based on theories which suggest that transformational leadership style ,organizational culture are linked to firm’s performance and innovativeness thus it was proposed that organizational culture has positive association with innovation and performance. Similarly observing the relationship between transformational leadership style and innovation and performance. Whereas it is frequently assumed that organizational culture is directly linked to the performance of an organization and that changes to cultural traits will impact immediately on effectiveness and efficiency. Therefore how not just organizational culture but also transformational leadership style contributes to firm’s innovationess and increasing performance has been researched.

Abstract: Site-specific understanding of the peoples’ perception on the issue of human-elephant conflict has a great value in drawing the conservation planning which has been often given less priority. In Chirang-Ripu Elephant Reserve, detailed study was conducted around Manas National Park, but no emphasis was given to other part of the reserve. So, an attempt was undertaken between November, 2016 and May 2017 to find out the people perception on the status of human-elephant conflict in five villages under the Batabari Range of Baksa Forest Division of Assam, India. For this, a questionnaire was prepared covering different parameters on human-elephant conflict. Study found that majority (96%) of the people had an experience of human-wildlife conflict in this area. Elephants were identified as the major animal for conflict (100%) followed by non-human primates (66.7%). Majority of the respondent (70.8%) had received damage to house and household property followed by 33% of crop damage, 16.7% of shop and property damage, 12.5% livestock damage and 8.3% of stored grain loss due to human-elephant conflict. Shortage of food was identified as the major reason (34.6%) of conflict followed by anger due to human torture (30.8%), accidental damage due to fear (23.1%) and loss of corridor (11.5%). Though majority of them (70.37%) got ex-gratia for crop damage, the amount paid to them was very less in comparison to the actual economic loss. This practice may have developed negative attitude towards elephant that may impede the conservation of elephant in the near future.

Abstract: Tibetan food culture is unique of its kind with its exotic recipes. Tibetans of Kashmir have kept their food habits alive even after decades of settlement in Srinagar. Food culture refers to the food practices and consumption of food. Food culture is associated with our childhood and good memories and it ties us to our families (Qadri, 2014). The study was carried out on “Food Culture of Tibetans residing in Srinagar city (Jammu and Kashmir). A well-structured interview schedule was used to collect necessary details on various aspects related to food culture. One woman from each family was interviewed to gather information on various aspects as she could be the best source to know in detail about the food culture. Data was collected from three areas of Srinagar namely Eidgah (Gulshan Mohalla), Hawal (Sangeendarwaza of Mukhdoom Sahib), Habak (Mughal lane). Forty four families were included in the study in which children were 105, adults 109 and 35 were old age people. It was seen that, 48% of Tibetan were from Hawal, 34% from Habak and 18.18% from Eidgah. As evident, moist heat methods that is boiling (88.6%) steaming (86.3%) frying and simmering (72.7%) were used to prepare meal. 43.1% were non-vegetarians, 56% were both vegetarian and non-vegetarian and none was only vegetarian. 86.3% consumed rotis/breads at breakfast and evening with their authentic butter tea. Black channa is taken as a whole in breakfast mostly. Black channa (56.8%), milk (91%) and butter (68.1%) were also consumed in breakfast. At lunch, rice was taken with any curry or in the form of vegetable fried rice, pea pulao (93.5%) and soya bean pulao (80%) by all subjects. Tibetans consumed locally grown vegetables and fruits. Pulses are included in diet by majority of Tibetans such as peas, rajmah, black channa and soyabean. Non- vegetarian items such as chicken, meat, are also used in making chilli chicken, thukpa, momos and others. Fats were consumed in the form of ghee (11.3%), butter (68.1%) and refined oil (70%) and was consumed mostly by all subjects. Milk (90.9%) is taken as whole or is used in making tea. Dairy products included in diet are paneer (93.1%) and curd (95.4%), they are cooked with vegetables in making various Tibetan recipes. 45.45%) of Tibetans preferred chicken/mutton soup made with noodles and 54.5% preferred vegetable soup. Moreover, Tibetans also consumed butter tea, regular sweet tea and coffee. Food habits are gradually developed from infancy through childhood by different types of individuals and through collective experience. Thus individual’s food habits are merely the symbols of these influences and experiences.

Abstract: Drought is one of the major environmental disasters, which have been occurring in almost all climatic zones and damage to the environment and economies of several countries has been extensive and death toll of livestock unprecedented. Drought damages are more pronounced or prominent in areas where there is a direct threat to livelihoods. The advanced technologies like remote sensing and geographical information system are very essential to identify the drought condition. Groundwater is regarded to be the most valuable natural resources. The distribution of groundwater is not uniform through the area.  Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques have been used to observe and more systematic analyze various groundwater resources and its demarcation. Groundwater resources are contaminated due to industrial and domestic pollution, depletion induced quality deterioration, over pumping etc. The analysis of physico chemical parameters will help to find the overall quality of area. By integration of different physico-chemical parameters into GIS base and comparison according to the defined standards of drinking water quality would help to generate Water Quality Index map of an area which is very useful in determining the groundwater quality status of the area. The present work identified the drought prone area and Water Quality Index map of Palakkad district with the help of field data, remote sensing and GIS data. The result is useful for the drought management and issues associated with water quality and ground water depletion.

Abstract: Male domination remains an epidemic in the primary education teaching field. This makes girl education challenging as female teachers are less recruited to fill the gender gap. High level girls drop-out rates in mixed primary schools results from male teachers, lack of knowledge on how to address gender specific needs of girls .What worsens discrimination of female teachers recruitment are the lame beliefs held by head teachers who think that female teachers cannot handle aggressive pupils in the school. Influenced by head teachers and clan leaders, the ministry of education recruits male majority teachers without thinking wisely on the gender specific challenges of individual pupil’s even then male teachers are not qualified. The major argument in this thesis needs to be balanced taking into consideration the fact male teachers are less knowledgeable and approachable by female pupils’ critical or sensitively silent challenge. Girls’ drop-out rates cannot be overcome without recruiting more female teachers in mixed primary schools in Somaliland.
