Marina Abdullah Bukeir Al-Saqqaf

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2020 | Volume/Issue:8/60 | Page No.: 13966 - 13981

 This paper, as the title implies, deals with the fantastic elementsin of one of the greatest Fantasy works of George MacDonald. Fantasy and the fantastic contradicts reality in the sense thatit is opposite to the norms of our world.Thus, the paper investigates what Mendlesohn and James refer to as“the presence of the impossible and the unexplainable”(3). that are present in MacDonald’s Phantastesdue to its great impact on fantasy in the modern sense of the genre. The Researcher uses analytical approach based on close observation and investigation of the fantastic elements in the novel to reach to broad identity of the fantastic. The paper is divided into three parts. The first partprovides an idea about Fantasy and Fantastic elements. The second discusses and summarizes the novel, the third part is the most important one because itpresents all the fantastic that appeared in the novel. The last part is the conclusion. The paper concludes that MacDonald made a brilliant use of a complicated fantasy. created fantastic world with layers of smaller worlds within, diverse unexpected forms of fantastic creatures like evil spirits in natural forms, magical animals, goblins, giants, and fairies. He presented multitudes of characters and finally heavy use of objects or aspects but dressed them magical outfits. For instance, singing has the power to bring people alive, to free people and find them,sea changes it quality to be theatre-like. they are time transparent, and food is magical that not only satisfies hunger but magically broaden senses and sharpens intellect. In short, it highlights George MacDonald creativity, sorts out Phantastesrichness in Fantastic and highlights its importance in Fantasy genres.

STRENGTHENING TEACHER EDUCATION AND TEACHING PROFESSION THROUGH CREATION OF SIM

Nalini Patil & Uttara Deolankar

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2020 | Volume/Issue:8/60 | Page No.: 13990 - 13997

 Relation of self-instructional material (SIM) and distance education begins with a consideration of the concept of ‘learning through distance mode of education’. Distance education is defined as learning which is implemented with a geographical separation between the teachers and the students. Self-instructional material is described as a learning material given to distance learners so that they can grasp the concepts without the presence of the teacher. Self-instructional materials are given to adult students who are especially interested in learning that arises from the roles they play as they pass through the stages of human development (i.e., parent, consumer, employee, citizen). The teachers teaching through the face to face mode are experts in teaching the subject content through face to face mode. If the same content has to be taught through the distance mode of education then the subject content has to transform to self-instructional material. Hence this paper discusses the creation of self-instructional material and the implications which follow for newer avenues in strengthening the teaching profession.
Keywords: Self Instructional Material, Distance education, teaching profession

PREVALENCE AND CORRELATES OF FALLS AMONG ELDERLY POPULATION: A STUDY OF URBAN VARANASI, INDIA

Garima Kumari

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2020 | Volume/Issue:8/60 | Page No.: 13998 - 14004

 There has been a sharp increase in elderly population (60 years and above) over the years. It is projected to rise to approximately 140 million by 2021. Falls are a major cause of unintentional injury and low quality of life during old age. Falls also restrict mobility and associated morbidities with fall often lead to social isolation and psychological problems. Falling can lead to longstanding pain, disability and sometimes premature death.
Present study is based on a cross sectional study with sample size of 104 elderly aged 60 years and above from urban area of Varanasi district. Multistage random sampling technique is used in the study. Semi-structured interview schedule has been administered.
Result based on empirical data indicates that 36.5 percent have experienced fall during old age and they suffer from fracture, pain, injury and fear of falling. Age and gender are significantly associated with falls among the elderly.
It is apparent that with increasing age, risk of fall increases and gender differences play important role regarding risk and consequences of falls during old age. Therefore multidimensional strategies should be adopted to reduce the risk of falling and enhance the quality of life in old age.

This move is making extraordinary and unanticipated administrative challenges identified with employees prosperity, profitability and coordinated effort. How associations react to the test of acclimating to remote working will have huge effect for the time being – and an enduring effect on the future of work.

Ms. Nirupama Tete

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2020 | Volume/Issue:8/60 | Page No.: 14027 - 14034

 The Tribal population constitute about 8.2 percent of the population of India .According to 2001 census the population of scheduled tribes has increased to 84.3 million from 67.8 million in 1991.With Odisha scheduled tribes of 62 tribes accounts for 22.21percnt of Odisha population. However in spite of various efforts of the government of India Odisha is lagging behind various socioeconomic factors. As a result a major number of the tribal communities suffer from various health conditions especially those who are vulnerable or backward social group live in remote hilly and forest or desert area where there is less access to education, portable water, lack of personal hygiene and sanitation making them more vulnerable to disease. They still depend upon the old traditional methods of health treatment rather practicing the modern medical health care services .The main objective of this paper is to analyse the status of child health and it makes a comparative trend analysis of the change in tribal health status in comparison to other social groups by using different rounds of NFHS data with the other communities.

Veena Kapur

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2020 | Volume/Issue:8/60 | Page No.: 14035 - 14041

 Excellence in teaching is not an abstract concept but a practical reality that needs to be understood. What marks out a teacher as good or bad or excellent, goes beyond mere content knowledge. It involves their commitment to their profession and their student. This commitment goes beyond the realm of merely teaching their subject.It involvescreating a learning ethos for the student that makes language learning living, joyful and meaningful. In this paper an attempt is made to explore the concept of excellence in the context of an English language teacher and how excellence in teaching can be transacted in a real -life classroom.

Ambuj Kumar

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2020 | Volume/Issue:8/60 | Page No.: 14049 - 14056

 Education is most effective instrument for ensuring equality of opportunity but the tribal people are lagging far behind non- tribals due to one or more reasons. The problems associated with the education of tribal children in Jharkhand is manifold, complex and inter – related. Factors like poverty, apathy of the parent and children superstition and prejudice, lack of suitable teacher. Alien language, inadequate facilities in the educational institutions and wastage and stagnation causes major hindreances in the process of education in the tribal schools, schools located in tribal area and spread of tribal education. In this context educating tribal needs concerted effort of the government and officials, dedication and sincerity of the teachers awareness of the tribals and their involvement. Education of the tribals is not a mere learning process rather .it should be a process for creativity and occupation as per the requirements of the tribal community and national necessity. This paper attempts to examine and understand the low literacy level and problems of tribal education in Jharkhand.

MSME sector has its own importance in the economy of the country. In India, the rural persons are unable to know about the government Schemes on time .Generally they are come to know late about the schemes, or after their expiry.The administration is not so keen about the awareness of such schemes.Either the schemes are advertised but not effectively.Only a few respondents accepted that these schemes are helpful to uplift their economic conditions.The Rural beneficiaries are not convenient to get the business loans. According to the respondents, the main source of information about the schemes are the persons who are able to get the advantages of such schemes. Iin lack of proper information’s and awareness and proper functioning of government machinery; the small scale business schemes are not so effective to find the required targets.

ENVIRONMENTAL ACCOUNTING IN INDIAN COMPANIES: LET GO OR LET’S GO

Chhagan N. Pithadiya

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2020 | Volume/Issue:8/60 | Page No.: 14103 - 14116

 India’s economic growth over the past few years has raised the prospect of eliminating extensive poverty within a generation. But this growth has been clouded by a degrading physical environment and the growing scarcity of natural resources that are essential for sustaining further growth and eliminating poverty. It is no coincidence that the poorest areas of the country are also the most environmentally-stressed regions, with eroded soils, polluted waterways, and degraded forests. Simultaneously, rapid growth has unleashed greater public awareness and an unprecedented demand for the sound management of natural resources including air, water, forests, and biodiversity. Environmental sustainability is rapidly emerging as the next major development and policy challenge for the country. It is matter of concern that we have to think seriously about environmental pollution is natural phenomenon or product of development greed. But growing pollution creates alarming situation for Indians. People have to decide growth on sake of environment or sustainable growth that add happiness in people life and protect natural environment as well. It is duty of people and government to force companies to take concrete steps to save environment.

IMPACT OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS ON ENVIRONMENT IN POSTINDUSTRIAL SOCIETY A SOCIOLOGICAL STUDY

Devananda R. & GD Narayana

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2020 | Volume/Issue:8/60 | Page No.: 14117 - 14128

 In the year 1990 India was opened for liberalization, privatization and globalization. In early days liberalization, privatization and globalization were in force in the name of the WTO. The World trade organization was controlling the trade practices among its member countries. India was also the member country at that time. Then Prime Minister Sri PV Narasimha Rao government signed for GATT agreement presented by the director of GATT by name Aurthur Dunkel. At that time it was a very hot issue for debate in the name of the GATT agreement (general agreement on tariff and trade). In the period of Sri PV Narasimha Rao between 21-06-1991 to 16-05-1996 India has agreed to abide for GATT agreement, after this India was opened to the world trade. This has given birth to post industrial society in India. Post industrial Society: Can be defined as the position of society’s development when the service provider sector generates more wealth than the manufacturing sector of the nation’s economy. 1) In this period the economy undergoes a transition from the production of goods to the provision of services, 2) Knowledge becomes valuable in the form of capital. 3) The production of ideas is the main way to the growth of the economy. 4) By the process of globalization demand for industry professionals, scientist, IT professionals and others gained the importance. 5) Behavioral and information sciences and technologies are developed and implemented. 
Petroleum products are very essential products for transportation, heating, electricity generation, asphalt and road oil. They are used make chemicals, plastics and synthetic materials which we use in daily life. In the year 2016-2017 we consumed 23,765 metric tonnes of Petrol, 76,027 metric tonnes of Diesel. Objectives: - 1) To study the use of petroleum products as natural recourse for future generation of India 2) To assess the impact on the environment. Hypothesis: - There are possibilities to control the excessive use of petroleum products and to save the environment for future generation of India 
Key words; petroleum products. Natural recourses. Excessive use, Environment. Post industrial society. GATT.

This paper is a research based study with the findings of a case study conducted on a non-residential school run under “Shiksha Vikash Samiti, Odisha”. The objective of this study was to make in-depth case study with reference to the dimensions of quality education such as: school environment, classroom environment, teaching learning process, student evaluation practices, teacher-pupil relationship, and organization of curricular activities, school community relationship, and learning achievement of students. Data were collected from the case through Information Schedule-cum-Checklist for Essential Facilities, Interview Schedule for Head Master/ Pradhan Acharya, Questionnaire for Teachers, Interview Schedule for Parents-cum-Community Members and Guidelines for Focus Group Discussion with Students, Classroom Observation Schedule, Achievement Test Battery-I & II, Field Notes, and Photographs. The key informants were selected purposively, which constituted the sample of the selected case study such as: Head Masters/Pradhan Acharya: 02 Teachers/Acharya: 12, Students: Class-VI-120; Class-VIII-120, and Parents: 20. The findings revealed that the infrastructural facilities were very excellent. The teaching learning process in different school subjects was excellent. The student’s evaluation process was based on the continuous and comprehensive evaluation process. Such evaluation proves includes both scholastic and co-scholastic aspects of students’ learning. The learning attainment of students was high as very negligible percentage (5%) students had secured scores below 30% in an achievement test. In Math and Social Studies, more than 25% students of Class-VI have obtained scores above 80% and in English 20-25% students have also secured scores more than 80%. Keywords: Case Study, Quality of Schooling, Non-Residential School, Saraswati Shishu Vidya Mandir.

ANALYTICAL AND CONCEPTUAL STUDY FOR THE IMPORTANCE OF PRIVATIZATION OF HIGHER EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM IN INDIA

Sushil Kumar Thakur

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2020 | Volume/Issue:8/60 | Page No.: 14160 - 14167

Globalization has brought immense opportunities in the field of Higher education but on the other hand it is felt that the benefits of Higher education flow to them who can pay for it. Higher education in India has not become a commodity, and if at all it has, for those who are able to pay as much as high demand price which is not possible by large section of the potential Indian people, of course not affordable. Students are central to the teaching-learning process. The Analysis of this study reveals that higher education has become a gateway to earn more money rather than uplifting the Higher education and research. The preference for studying in public universities precedes the preference for private counterparts. The annual fee range of the private Universities or Institutions providing Higher educations for all courses is much-much higher than the Public Universities or Institutions at every level of higher education of the graduate , post Graduate level. A rational fee regulation mechanism should put in place by the government to be followed by all the Private higher education institutions. Providing education to all is considered as primary duty of the government. But the government has diverted its focus from higher education to primary education and welcomed private sector to enter the higher education sector, which is termed as privatization of higher education.

Manoj M Ghughuskar, Neelam Saharan, P. P. Shrivastava, A. K. Reddy and M. M. Shirdhankar

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2020 | Volume/Issue:8/60 | Page No.: 14177 - 14187

Catla fingerlings’ weighing average weight (31.36±1.26 g) was selected for further transportation experiment. Catla catla fingerlings were packed at two densities, 25 g/l (optimum) and 50 g/l (double of the optimum) of ten replicates each for 6 h ,12 h,18 h and 24 h respectively in polyethylene bags of dimensions (L-77.8 cm x B-40 cm), which were filled with 5 liters water, i.e., 1/3rd water and 2/3rd oxygen. The samples were regularly collected at CIFE Aquaculture Wet Laboratory at every 6 h (i.e., 6, 12, 18 and 24 h) intervals for taking blood for determining the stress parameter i.e. serum biochemical parametel level of catla fingerlings. The vehicle was continuously running for 24 hrs in and around Mumbai from 8.00 A.M to 8.00 A.M. covering a distance of about 640 Km. It was observed that serum biochemical parameters level got drastically changed and are a good indicators of stress during transportation of Catla catla fingerlings packed at high density and increasing transportation duration. Hence, 25 g/l was the optimum packing density of Catla catla fingerlings for 24hrs duration. It was also concluded that increase in packing density resulted in increase of stress. There was a decreasing trend of protein and globulin content while albumin and Albumin Globulin ratio shows increasing trend in both packing densities as the duration of time increased. There was a statistical significant interaction between the packing density (i.e., 25g/l and 50g/l) and transportation period (i.e., 0h, 6h, 12h, 18h and 24h) on serum biochemical parameters. In case of double the optimum density results, it was found that up to 12hrs, this density was optimum and after that the stress parameter i.e. serum biochemical parameters got drastically changed. Key words: Catla catla, fingerling, transportation, stress, serum biochemical parameter.

METAL COMPLEXES IN HYDROMETALLURGY AND EXTRACTION

Surendra Singh

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2020 | Volume/Issue:8/60 | Page No.: 14188 - 14215

The modes of action of the commercial solvent extractants used in extractive hydrometallurgy are classified according to whether the recovery process involves the transport of metal cations, Mn+, metalate anions, MXxn?, or metal salts, MXx into a water-immiscible solvent. Well-established principles of coordination chemistry provide an explanation for the remarkable strengths and selectivities shown by most of these extractants. Reagents which achieve high selectivity when transporting metal cations or metal salts into a water-immiscible solvent usually operate in the inner coordination sphere of the metal and provide donor atom types or dispositions which favour the formation of particularly stable neutral complexes that have high solubility in the hydrocarbons commonly used in recovery processes. In the extraction of metalates, the structures of the neutral assemblies formed in the water-immiscible phase are usually not well defined and the cationic reagents can be assumed to operate in the outer coordination spheres. The formation of secondary bonds in the outer sphere using, for example, electrostatic or H-bonding interactions are favoured by the low polarity of the water-immiscible solvents. Keywords: Metal complexes, hydrometallurgy, extraction

It was in 1953, that the 'word' ethnicity found its accorded use, to describe the character or quality of an ethnic group. Ethnic Group in turn is derived from the Greek word Ethnos that refers to a category of people, who can be distinguished on the basis of their culture, religion, race, or language. Any group using one or more of these characteristics for identifying its-self need not be using these identification markers for discrimination. Individuals participating in these categories may assert these criteria for accentuating in-group solidarity. Language remains one of the most significant medium of establishing this cohesiveness, and it is this feeling of intra group solidarity experienced by a group of people speaking the same dialect or using the same language that we define as Linguistic Ethnicity. In this article, there is an attempt made to understand language as a symbol of ethnic identity, its role in creation and maintenance of ethnicity and its impact on the society. Keywords: language, ethnicity, symbols, identity, society, state (India), Regional, indigenous,

Science is a subject which cannot be followed or understood by mare lecturing , students should be actively involved rather than being passive listeners. If the students are promoted to learn by themselves by self learning, the course can be finished within no time and it will help the students to develop their abilities, attitude and interests. It also develops their insight which will affect their scholastic achievement. Teaching science as inquiry emphasis the investigative process of science so that the students learn science as a process and understand the empirical basis of scientific evidence. Teaching by inquiry involves instructions that emphasis activities of identifying problems, observing, measuring, classifying, inferring, predicting or making hypothesis , discovering meaningful problems, designing experiments, interpreting and analyzing data and verifying. Present paper deals with the administration of lessons through Inquiry training Model and to comparatively study the effect of teaching on classroom.

The Pandemic creates havoc around the world crossing all barriers and boundaries, disrupting normal life and imposing a series of lockdowns. India is also badly afected due the crisis of Covid19. The pandemic also gives birth to the 'New Normal'. Covid warriors – doctors, nurses, health workers, police, government officials and employees, NGOs, along with humanitarians joined hands united to create an army against the invisible enemy. Kokan region which is situated in the Western Bank of Maharashtra which is connected Mumbai and Pune Metropolitan cities so we know that the corona virus which start from Mumbai in our Maharashtra. So when it started too spared up in Maharashtra its impact on kokan is a specific area to study because of Climate and environment. Most impact of covid-19 is that the death rate. Here I want to make ratio between kokan environment and kokan climatic condition and the death rate. For the study area as a kokan, I just selected, Raigad, Ratnagiri, and Sindhudurg district.

MERCURY (Hg) CONTAMINATION IN LIVING ORGANISMS

Dev Prakash

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2020 | Volume/Issue:8/60 | Page No.: 14259 - 14262

Mercury has been used for various purposes. Prehistoric cave drawings were made using cinnabar, the red ore containing mercuric sulfide. Today, mercury is produced as a by-product of gold and bauxite mining. Medicinal uses of mercury have included its use as a diuretic, antiseptic, skin ointment, laxative, and as a treatment of syphilis. Mercury has also been used as a poison. Inorganic mercury, found mostly in the mercuric salt form (eg, batteries), is both toxic and corrosive. The toxicity of methyl mercury was recognized worldwide following epidemics of mercury poisoning in the Japanese inhabitants due to consumption of fish caught in the region. The enhanced levels of concentrations of this metal (Hg) especially have drawn public attention resulting from food safety issues and potential health risk. This is regarded as the most important contaminants in our environment. The district is facing a threat of heavy metal (Hg) contamination but the results of the present study suggest that the rising levels of these metals are alarming and a matter of concern. The enhanced levels of Mercury can disturb human body metabolism to a dangerous extent. Keywords : Heavy Metal, Metabolic, Contamination, Toxicological.

PREPERATION OF NiCo2S4 AND NMC NANOBALL ON NICKEL FOAM NITROGEN DOPED MESOPOROUS CARBON (NMC)

Snoj Kumar

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2020 | Volume/Issue:8/60 | Page No.: 14262 - 14266

Nickel foam, which can be directly used as electrode for supercapacitors application. Nitrogen doped mesoporous carbon (NMC) was prepared by our previous work in chapter 3A. A binary component of NiCo2S4 at NMC nanoball on Ni foam is prepared by the exfoliation of nitrogen doped mesoporous carbon followed by hydrothermal treatment. The interaction between NMC nanosheets and NiCo2S4 particles in NiCo2S4 at NMC nanocomposite is confirmed by powder XRD, Raman spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy and XPS analysis. The UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy studied shown that NiCo2S4 at NMC nanocomposite has smaller band gap as compared to NiCo2S4, which would be a better candidate for charge storage application. The nitrogen doped mesoporous carbon forms highly conductive network and improves the conductivity of the nanocomposite material as well as prevents to the agglomeration of nanoparticles at some extent. Moreover, it has long-term cycling stability with a capacity retention of 88% after 5000 cycles, making it as a material of choice for next generation supercapacitor. The reason of 12% degradation in electrochemical performance was also analyzed by microstructure analysis. Finally, the summary is that the introduction of NMC onto NiCo2S4 array can enhance the charge transfer conductivity, electrolyte penetration, and ion diffusion, which can in turn boost the capacitive behavior of the nanocomposite material. Keywords: NMC, Nanocomposite material, Capacitive behavior, Mesoporous carbon.

Mongol invasion on Islamic empire is a land mark event in the history of world. This invasion began in around 1219 A.D. from Otrar a city under the dominion of Khwarazm dynasty situated in Transoxiana and ended with the capturing of Baghdad, the capital of Islamic empire in 1258A.D. Al-Mustasim, the Abbasid Caliph was captured and assassinated. Thus, in 1258 A.D. the Islamic empire came to an end. Any invasion has its devastating effects however, the Mongol invasion on Islamic empire was more devastative than the others. Apart from social and economic systems Mongol invasion has mainly destroyed the political system. The small and big Islamic states, which were functioning under the caliph who ruled over the country as political head were destroyed. After defeat of small and major ruling dynasties even the Abbasid Caliph the whole political system was collapsed. This was because the head of the states who were under the Caliph had virtually become independent and were fighting with each other which, made them and the central leadership weak which, resulted in their defeat and collapse of political system. Thus, it can be said that the Mongol invasion destroyed the whole political system.

Information and communication technologies (ICT) have become commonplace entities in all aspects of life. Across the past twenty years the use of ICT has fundamentally changed the practices and procedures of nearly all forms of endeavour within business and governance. Within education, ICT has begun to have a presence but the impact has not been as extensive as in other fields. Education is a very socially oriented activity and quality education has traditionally been associated with strong teachers having high degrees of personal contact with learners. The use of ICT in education lends itself to more student-centred learning settings and often this creates some tensions for some teachers and students. But with the world moving rapidly into digital media and information, the role of ICT in education is becoming more and more important and this importance will continue to grow and develop in the 21st century. This paper highlights the various impacts of ICT on contemporary higher education and explores potential future developments. The paper argues the role of ICT in transforming teaching and learning and seeks to explore how this will impact on the way programs will be offered and delivered in the universities and colleges of the future.
