Treatment Of Selflessness In Devdutt Pattanaik’s The Book Of Ram
Get PDFMythology refers to the myths that are associated with the sacred stories of a particular culture. Indian mythology is a vast collection of tales which are predominantly featured in religious texts like the Vedic literature and the Puranas. Mythological narratives play a crucial role in effectively imparting the essential message to people and guide them towards a fruitful life. Every religion and philosophical system in India is imbued with ethical elements. Indian ethos refers to the guiding beliefs and noble notions of Indian culture. One can adhere to the ethos of the culture to enhance his or her life. Devdutt Pattanaik is an Indian mythologist, speaker, illustrator, columnist and an author of more than fifty books. Some of his important works are Jaya: An Illustrated Retelling of the Mahabharata, Sita: An Illustrated Retelling of the Ramayana, Shyam: An Illustrated Retelling of the Bhagavata, The Book of Ram and Shiva to Shankara: Giving Form to the Formless. His works deal with the areas of religion, mythology and management. The present study aims at an analysis of The Book of Ram of Devdutt Pattanaik so as to highlight the importance of selflessness in one’s life. The author provides a new perspective to the Ramayana in his novel by focusing on the selfless life led by Ram. The present study analyses the selfless deeds of a few characters such as Lakshman, Bharata, and Vibhishana. They act selflessly in order to uphold dharma.

Bibliographics for the 983 eprints in the live archives of E-LIS : trends and status report up to 7th July 2004, based on author-self-archiving metadata
Get PDFThe priority for ideas and philosophy related to "Network Theory" have been traced back and documented by Braun(2004),and credit goes to Karinthy(1929).The IT has empowered to realise it, as the most practical phenomena and it is no more a humour. The OAI (Open Archives Initiatives)and ACIS (Academic Contributor Information System)are progressive in the direction ,which may lead to realise the "Collective Genius" at global level. Focus of present study is on Author-Self-Archiving (A-S-A)Metadata of the 983 Eprints in the Live Archives of the E-LIS (EPrints of Library and Information Science),which were approved till 7th July 2004.The A-S-A Metadata was used for librametric analysis. Self-explanatory bibliographics are illustrated.The highlights include: Conference papers (34%); highest approval, June 2004 (28%); published archives (76%);not refereed (52%); not in public domain (60%); highest self-archiving-author (De Robbio, Antonella).The Nos. of EPrints having single JITA domain specifications were: Theoretical and general aspects of libraries and information(27); Information use and sociology of information(80);Users,literacy and reading(13);Libraries as physical collections(30);Publishing and legal issues(57);Management(13);Industry, profession and education(36);Information sources, supports, channels(113) ; Information treatment for information services, Information functions and techniques (101); Technical services libraries, archives and museums(25); Housing technologies(1); Information technology and library technology(92); and Inter-domainery (395) i.e. having specifications of two or more than two JITA classes
H. J. Bhabha : a case study of synchronous references
Get PDFQuantitative analysis of the events of synchronous references in the research papers followed throughout the publishing career of an individual scientist revealed interesting highlights on the knowledge-generating-system. In the case study of Homi Jehangir Bhabha first quinquennium and fifth quinquennium of his research career had low Self-references; third quinquennium and fourth quinquennium had moderate Self-references; whereas second quinquennium had highest Self-references. The two major clusters of Self-references occurring during the second and third quinquennium were indicators of active periods of knowledgegenerating and faster communications.(Revised version published in 2006 in International Journal of Nuclear Knowledge Management,Vol.2.

Most prolific keywords in titles were: Bose-Einstein condensate (38), Bose-Einstein condensation (15), Observation (9), Helium hydride (8), Emission spectrum, (6) Suppression (4). The ‘biobibliometrics’ term is used for a method of retrieving and visualizing biological information that uses co-occurrence of gene naming terms in Medical Sciences to generate semantic links between genes. Therefore it is suggested that ‘Scientometric Portrait’ is the appropriate phrase for the studies on scientists and ‘Informetric Portrait’ for the studies pertaining to researchers in other disciplines such as arts, humanities, and social sciences
