SYNTHESIS OF α- HYDROXY-β, γ-UNSATURATED ESTERS: HClO4-SiO2 CATALYZED ISOMERISATION OF GLYCIDIC ESTERS TO α-HYDROXY- β, γ-UNSATURATED ESTERS
Get PDFα-hydroxy-β, γ-unsaturated esters are important building blocks of bioactive compounds, natural products, achiral and chiral vinyl epoxides. These could be easily obtained by isomerization of glycidic esters. In this paper we have reported easy and convenient way of synthesis of α-hydroxy-β, γ-unsaturated esters by isomerisation of glycidic esters using inexpensive catalyst HClO4-SiO2 and eco-friendly ionic liquid. Moderate to good yields with lower reaction times reported
Agricultural Waste Management by Hydrothermal Carbonization
Get PDFThere has been a huge emphasis on converting waste into energy in developing countries like India since a couple of decades now. Agriculture is a huge industry in India and produces huge amount of agricultural waste which goes around 350 million tons every year. Out of this huge weight of waste more than 40 million tons is sugarcane bagasse. Only a small percentage of this waste is collected and out of that, less than 20% gets advanced treatments like incineration, pyrolysis etc. and the rest of it ends up in landfills. In this study Hydrothermal Carbonization of bagasse is carried out in order to raise its carbon content and achieve a higher calorific value. The waste after undergoing the HTC is called hydrochar and mostly resembles the properties of lignite coal. A number of tests are performed on the feedstock at 200 ° C and 220 ° C for three reaction periods viz. 2, 4 and 6 hours. The yield of the char is found to decreases with increase in temperature and retention time whereas the Carbon percentage shows a positive trend and goes as high as 69.1 % at 220° C with Calorific value as 24.44 MJ/kg at 6 hours reaction period
AFTER THE DELUGE: AN ACTION NOTEBOOK FOR A RESPONSIBLE SOCIOLINGUIST
Get PDFIn this paper, we begin with inevitability and cyclicity of pandemic during the last two centuries. The problems seem to be coming back to us again and again through Small-pox, Tuberculosis, Plague, Influenza, HIV/AIDS, Ebola, and now COVID-19. The 2003 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) pandemic and the Avian Influenza resulted in establishment of WHO protocols and awareness. However, as we consider the people at the Bottom of the Pyramid in developing and poor countries, the problem of survival of ethnic groups and their languages appear to be more acute. We know that 96% of India’s mother-tongues are spoken by only 4% of the population. But as India houses 3592 numerically weak mother tongues (spoken by 705 tribes or ethnic groups and 1284 castes scattered all over our rural landscape), with high degree of poverty combined with social hierarchies based on caste, religion and ethnicity, the shape of our population pyramid is relatively flat and bulging at the bottom making the problem of the survival of mother-tongues and learning in other-tongues complex. Our problem is that these ethnic groups and speakers of indigenous languages are fast losing their grip over their respective mother-tongues as they have to survive in an urban cauldron. It is this group that faced/faces the COVID-19 crisis more than anyone else, and it is this group that was seen walking back from urban centres to their villages. But those who stayed back in villages are also vulnerable to the pandemic. The effect of COVID-19 on our indigenous groups could be dangerous. After defining and describing ‘Danger’, we argue that the creativity of these indigenous language speakers is facing a grave threat. This is not only a matter of survival or production, but also an issue of printing, publishing, being read, translated, and sold. After discussing a few theoretical positions, from Ethnologue to Fishman and others, a list of tasks of Responsible Sociolinguistics is enlisted here. Then a detailed comparison is held between Biological and Linguistic Endangerment. What lessons could be learned by sociolinguists and language planners is discussed. The kind of tensions existing as real threat to survival are discussed in terms of systems theory and power-conflict theory. We argue that Linguistics should be used for healing of the wounds and injured pride of the smaller speech groups
A Study on Assessment and Management of Diabetic Gastropathy
Get PDFTo assess and manage Diabetic gastropathy. Diabetic gastropathy is least concern in developing countries but many patients receiving oral anti diabetics leads to serious gastric problems. This study involves identification of gastric problems and improves compliance, medication adherence among population and also determine the severity of gastric problems due to oral hypoglycemic drugs. In our study, women are more effected (54%) than men (46%). Most effected age group is 40-60 years age with 58% Mild (male-20.9%, female-22.27%) and moderate (male-37.9%, females-39.7%) conditions are the most effected in terms of severity. This is due to poor glycemic control and not using proper medication, diet. Treatment should be focused on improving gastric symptoms by controlling gastric emptying. Prevention of gastric symptoms by following some dietary changes, nutritional and physiological support is effective to patients
MHRD’S INITIATIVE IIC CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS INNOVATION IN HIGHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS DURING COVID 19
Get PDFInnovation is the word which means new idea, creative thought, and practical implementation of invention. The MHRD initiative IIC is helpful for the students to learn entrepreneurship skills in their initial years of graduation and nurture them till completion of their qualification. The innovation cell of higher educational institutions will enhance the skills, aptitude of the students and prepare them for future endeavors. The main motive of MIC Innovation Cell is to inspire, persuade and cherish young and talented students to work with innovative thoughts and convert their ideas into prototypes and cherish their work. The e-sessions by the IIC-Institutes will overcome the need for physical innovation cell activities which is impossible in current situation due to COVID-19 pandemic. The quarter 3 and 4 have been merged into one period because of ongoing pandemic i.e., one complete semester and all IIC institutes have to report accordingly for the scores and star ratings. The e-sessions by IIC institutes have been successful and gathered appreciation from students and faculty members. There is a growing awareness that entrepreneurial outlook, which combines inventiveness, a sense of initiative, predicament solving, vagueness tolerance and financial and technological knowledge in formal education for benefit of individuals and society. The MHRD initiative of IIC will enable the foundation of robust modernization and Start up ecosystem across all HEIs

COVID’S EFFECT ON AN ENDANGERED LANGUAGE IN THE SYLHET AREA OF BANGLADESH
Get PDFLanguage is the way of communication and used in different aspects of life. In every country there is a national language which is the state language used in offices and different organizations. Bengali is the state and widely spoken language of Bangladesh however language varies from community to community, race to race, society to society This study shows that there are many indigenous languages in Bangladesh which may be endangered in future specially in the Sylhet area of Bangladesh. The Manipuri language which is not used officially in Bangladesh may be one such language. It has its own alphabets and is spoken in the community. The language has however not been hampered due to COVID 19 and in fact has become more popular during the lockdown. Due to the increase in the popularity of social media (face book group, Cheik Kheik) the Manipuri language in Sylhet, still maintains their ethnic culture and use their language in the home domain
LEGAL PROTECTION OF ENDANGERED LANGUAGES IN INDIA WITH REFERENCE TO MEGHALAYA
Get PDFAs for as India is concerned many Indian languages have become threatened and even endangered because of globalization. In India, English is thriving and is used widely by the young generation, and this is one of the reasons leading to the extinction of native or regional languages. Today Hindi is also expanding and because of this many regional languages will become extinct. In the State of Meghalaya there are three basic tribes known as Khasi, Garo and Jayantia. They speak either Khasi, or Garo, but their dialects differ. Even the Khasis who are living in East Khasi Hills, especially in Shillong have different dialects as compared to the other Khasis. These languages are used by many but they do not have their own scripts. That is why these languages were not placed in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution of India. A speaker of any language which is not in the Eighth Schedule, cannot be awarded the Jnanpith Award and furthermore their languages cannot be the medium of the UPSC. Article 29 of the Constitution of India mandates that no discrimination would be done on the ground of religion, race,, caste or language and Article 30 mandates that all minorities, whether based on religion or language, shall have the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice. In addition, the Legislature of a State may by law adopt any of the languages to use in the state. Article 350 B of the Constitution says that there shall be a Special Officer for linguistic minorities and he/she has to be appointed by the President. It shall be the duty of this Officer to investigate all matters relating to the safeguards provided for linguistic minorities under the Constitution and report to the President upon those matters. Protection of the regional languages has been provided in the Constitution and it is the duty of the educational institutions to provide basic education to the children in their own vernacular languages should they want to be educated in their vernacular language

Universalization of Elementary Education: Challenges, Issues and Efforts
Get PDFThe Indian education system is perhaps the largest system in the world catering the need of millions of students of different socio-economic background. Education is globally acknowledged as the most powerful means of empowerment. Education is utmost important for every child irrespective of its gender. It is disheartening that, even in current modern scenario, some people are still against the education of the girl children. Every child has the right to receive elementary education however, Due to many factors girls are forced to leave school while others never have been provided an opportunity to enroll in schools. Among children not attending schools there are more girls than boys and among illiterate adults, there are more women than women. Many girls continue to dropout that adversely affects the efficiency of the education system and respective progressive expectations. The unfinished task in terms of un-enrolled and out-of-school girl child is the manor challenge. Rigorous and continuous efforts are required to bring and retain girl children under the purview of education system. The community and government schemes in this direction, can jointly play a vital role in bringing and retaining girl children to schools for primary and secondary education. To understand the problems and challenges faced by girls at elementary education level the author conducted a study in education zone Magam. The zone progressed significantly but still it has many areas of concern that are primarily responsible for un-fulfilment of the goals of universal literacy. There are number of problems which become hindrance in the way of education of girls but whatever the reason is if significant efforts were taken this problem can be then tackled easily. So, the authors hope that this study can help us to illuminate some of the complexities around education of the girls at elementary level and bring new insight to policy makers and educational practitioners
