THE INFLUENCE OF THE BUDDHIST ECONOMIC THOUGHT ON SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Get PDFThe spiritual approach of economics refers to Buddhist economics thought. Its main teaching aims to understand the confusion among what is harmful and advantages to sustainable economics and eventually attempts to create ethically mature human beings in society. The main objective of the article is to identify the basic concept of Buddhist economic thought for sustainable economic development. The study was utilized the content analysis provides an overview of Buddhist concepts for sustainable economic development practices using secondary resources such as books, articles, sutra, and other relevant documents. The study revealed that Buddhist economics has given the analytical approach encompassing the generally accepted economic concepts. Traditional Economics has studied concrete factors while Buddhist economic studied abstract factors. Buddhist economic approach to “Right Livelihood" is one of the requirements of the Buddha’s Noble Eightfold Path. Buddha has considered several important concepts for sustainable economics about the optimal pattern of consumption would be maximum well-being with minimal dependence on resources, importance to the protection of non-renewable resources, types of occupation or trade should be abandoned by human, employee employers’ relationship. There is limited knowledge and practice of the Buddhist concepts to economic development in society. The research finding revealed that spiritual development is a significant factor for sustainable development. This finding able to disseminate new knowledge and research finding will be useful to identify the Buddhist philosophy on sustainable economic development for future policymakers and economists
EFFECTS OF SPENT ENGINE OIL POLLUTION ON GERMINATION AND EARLY SEEDLING ESTABLISHMENT OF SIX PLANT SPECIES
Get PDFThe performance of six plant species subjected to various concentration of spent engine oil was the principal aim of this study. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design with three replicates each. Germination percentage, germination vigour, germination index, radicle and plumule lengths were assessed. The plant species showed differential response to concentration of spent engine oil which was dose-dependent. Significant correlation was observed among final germination percentage, shoot and root length and shoot and root weights respectively. The correlation between FGP and GI; FGP and SVI were significantly negative (r = -0.134; -0.371 (P < 0.001) indicating that the germination index and seedling vigor index were delayed with decrease in germination percentage. Indiscriminate disposal of spent engine oil should be checked because of its adverse effects on the germination and early seedling establishment in the tropics

EFFECT OF OLIVE OIL EXTRACT ON LEAD INDUCED IN MICE, THE STUDY OF GLYCEMIA AND LIPIDEMIA IN NORMAL AND DIABETIC TREATED MICE
Get PDFLead is one of the environmental contaminant, which can threaten living organism in many ways. Mice treated with lead acetate found to exhibit significant production in hemoglobin content between normal and experimentally treated mice. The hematological values indicated a significant production in total white blood cells (WBC), red blood cells (RBC) count between normal and experimental. The level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in lead induced mice was found to be low with18.0 mgs/dl where as the control mice revealed an elevated high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level of 32.0 mgs/dl. Similarly the level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), cholesterol was found be elevated than the control. Another biochemical parameter is the estimation of serum cholesterol which was found to be 90.0 mgs/dl with lead acetate induced mice and a remarkable decrease in serum cholesterol was established which exhibited 65.0mgs/dl. The results for serum triglycerides with lead induced mice showed 49.5 mgs/dl than compared to normal mice. Analysis of serum biomarkers such as lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) revealed an increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level than the normal control mice. To study the kidney dysfunction the level of serum creatinine revealed an elevated level of 0.90 mgs/dl which is the remarkable effect leading to renal failure. The level of total bilirubin was found be eye in lead induced mice than the control treated mice. Studies pertaining to body weight absorbed during the periods of 15 days it was found be reduced in lead induced toxicity mice. To study of diabetic condition induced with streptozotocin (STZ) over a period of 15 days which exhibited significance rise in blood glucose concentration than the normal control mice. The study further extended the supplementation of olive oil in order to toxicity of lead acetate by olive oil revealed serum biomarker such as level of serum glutamate-pyruvate transminase (SGPT) in control showed 46.0 U/ML. Whereas in olive oil treated mice along with STZ induced mice revealed a moderate enzyme activity. Antipyretic study of olive oil by assessing the rectal temperature showed 40°C for control where as olive oil administered mice showed a rectal temperature of 40.5°C

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE INVERSE WEIBULL DISTRIBUTION BY USING TYPE-II CENSORED SAMPLE
Get PDFParameter estimation become complicated when censoring is present in the sample. Some time it is not possible to give a mathematical expression about estimated values of parameters in Maximum Likelihood (ML) method. In this situation iteration method is used, to find estimated values of parameters in numeric form . There are several Modified Maximum Likelihood (MML) estimation procedures which provide a mathematical expression about parametric value. For the two-parameter inverse Weibull distribution by using type II censored sample, assuming fixed shape parameter, a modified maximum likelihood estimator is proposed by [1] in which they use a simple approximation for intractable terms to estimate the scale parameter. In this paper a comparative study of the proposed estimator [1] is made with MML estimator of [2] ML estimators of [3]
