Bharathi and the State of Malayalam
No full textMahakavi Bharathi, a multi-lingual poet, loved language, nationality, and culture. He was keen to end the differences between the people. He is the creator of the new world by throwing a spear of writing. He wiped out the thinking of "I" and planted the tradition of thinking "We". He spread the feeling that the human race is one despite differences in language. He did not think that his language was his race; he respected all living beings as a single group. Therefore, Bharathi looked into the problems of Malayalam-speaking people. Just as there was a 'Bharathidasan' in Pudhuchery, there was also a 'Dasan' (follower) for Bharathi in Kerala. The Dasan who tried to implement Bharati's ideological ideas was Krishnasamy Iyer. Although Bharathi had no knowledge of Malayalam, he understood the nature of the language very well. This article focuses on Bharathiyar's article focusing on ideological thoughts on the topics of caste problem, Theeyar society, Vivekananda thoughts, Renaissance thoughts, Thunchaththu Ezhuthachan, nature of Malayalam language, land environment, Raghava Shastri, Krishnasamy Iyer, etc
Bharathi an Idealist
No full textThe beginning of 19th century was a time of scientific and technological development and the development of education for a particular community. Bharathi, who celebrated international politics had phrased “Aagavendru ezhunthathu paaryugap puratchi” (Translation: O! See the glorifying revolution) about the Russian Revolution. Bharathi is also immersed in the idealism of taking the natural phenomenon to the divine level without clarifying it. It can be seen in his writings about myths in general. We can also observe several differences among his poems and prose. He had incorporated lesser vernacular words like Sanskrit in his prose in comparison to his poems. This is also one of the evidents to outlay that he had given more priority to the concept in particular. To define Bharathi as an idealist, there are several grounded concepts have clinched. For say, the political contexts, social contexts, the attraction towards the feudalist society, searching answers within himself and with the divine, experiences with his family and the knowledge which had driven from his life experiments were the main concepts of his writings rather than the scientific explanations. With this notion the present research article has aimed to limelight his idealism in particular

Evaluation of the Indian Migration Study Physical Activity Questionnaire (IMS-PAQ): a cross-sectional study.
No full textABSTRACT:
Socio-cultural differences for country-specific activities are rarely addressed in physical activity questionnaires. We examined the reliability and validity of the Indian Migration Study Physical Activity Questionnaire (IMS-PAQ) in urban and rural groups in India.
A sub-sample of IMS participants (n = 479) was used to examine short term (≤1 month [n = 158]) and long term (> 1 month [n = 321]) IMS-PAQ reliability for levels of total, sedentary, light and moderate/vigorous activity (MVPA) intensity using intraclass correlation (ICC) and kappa coefficients (k). Criterion validity (n = 157) was examined by comparing the IMS-PAQ to a uniaxial accelerometer (ACC) worn ≥4 days, via Spearman's rank correlations (ρ) and k, using Bland-Altman plots to check for systematic bias. Construct validity (n = 7,000) was established using linear regression, comparing IMS-PAQ against theoretical constructs associated with physical activity (PA): BMI [kg/m2], percent body fat and pulse rate.
IMS-PAQ reliability ranged from ICC 0.42-0.88 and k = 0.37-0.61 (≤1 month) and ICC 0.26 to 0.62; kappa 0.17 to 0.45 (> 1 month). Criterion validity was ρ = 0.18-0.48; k = 0.08-0.34. Light activity was underestimated and MVPA consistently and substantially overestimated for the IMS-PAQ vs. the accelerometer. Criterion validity was moderate for total activity and MVPA. Reliability and validity were comparable for urban and rural participants but lower in women than men. Increasing time spent in total activity or MVPA, and decreasing time in sedentary activity were associated with decreasing BMI, percent body fat and pulse rate, thereby demonstrating construct validity.
IMS-PAQ reliability and validity is similar to comparable self-reported instruments. It is an appropriate tool for ranking PA of individuals in India. Some refinements may be required for sedentary populations and women in India

Flouting of maxims in staff meetings / Bharathi Mutty
No full textThis study explores the ways in which the staff of three local academic institutions flout
Grice’s maxims in conversation during staff meetings. The study was conducted in two
phases. The first phase was recording the staff meetings in participating institutions in
two manners: overtly (the staff knew that they were being recorded) and covertly (the
staff did not know they were being recorded). The second phase was to interview the
staff present in the meetings to determine the reasons for them to flout the maxims
during the meetings. This was done by playing the recordings to the interviewees after
every meeting. Findings revealed that the staff of all the three institutions involved in
this research did flout the maxims during the meetings due to several reasons.
Politeness, power and social distance are few of the many reasons identified. The staff
did not want to say anything that would offend the authority and thus flouted the
maxims. Lack of information to answer the questions asked was also another reason to
flout the maxims. It was also found that there were major differences in the ways the
staff flouted the maxims when they were aware of the recording and when they were not
aware of the recording. For instance, the Maxim of Manner was flouted frequently
during overt recordings to avoid the researcher from recording any sensitive issue raised
in the meetings
