Abstract: Corporate social responsibility is emerging an important topic of research for society. In the light of increasing globalization, Corporate social responsibility has been emerging as a major challenge for the corporate world. Stiff pressure from the society forces the business organization to fulfill their social obligation. But, this proves to be an opportunity for them as a socially responsible business enjoys more customer trust, good public image and much more. Thus, this paper attempts to throw light on the concept of corporate social responsibility, its legal framework in India and various provisions given by companies act 2013. The data has been collected from the secondary sources. The various books, articles, reports, newspapers, magazines websites and the information on internet has been studied. The paper concludes that corporate social responsibility is something that will grow both in demand and practice. Thus, firms should assume their corporate social responsibility pro-actively rather than reactively

 Abstract

The Status of Women in India has been subject to many changes over the span of recorded Indian history. Their position in society deteriorated early in India�s ancient period, especially in the Indo-Aryan speaking regions, and their subordination continued to be reified well into India�s early modern period. Practises such as female infanticide, dowry, child marriage, have had a long duration in India, and have proved difficult to root out. In Indian society, women are traditionally discriminated against and excluded from political and family related decisions. Despite the large amount of work women must do on a daily basis to support their families. Their rights are restricted. At present the position is changed. The position of women in modern India has changed considerably. Her position in modern Indian society is equal to that of men, socially, economically, educationally, politically & legally. Her sufferings from Sati, Child marriage. A woman is a leader in her society, this is not an obvious expectation, and however, ability to influence people is the most important characteristics of leadership. Women are the building blocks of a society, a nation, a culture, a family and a community. Women are considered a main feature of the economic system, and they are no more obliged to follow their so called �housewife destiny�.

This paper as entitled �Continuity in the Caste System� talks about the nature, characteristics and dynamics of continuity in the Caste System. The nature of caste system indicates inequality in terms of status of different castes in the society, privilege and disability associated with different castes, the notion of purity and pollution (vegetarianism), practice of untouchability, the practice of endogamy etc. As peculiar in Indian society, this paper explores the current continuity in the features of the caste system. There is no uniformity in the definition of caste system. Different scholars have defined caste system on the basis of its characteristics. G. S. Ghurye (1932) has described caste system on the basis of its six features segmental division of society, hierarchy, restrictions on feeding and social intercourse, civil and religious disabilities and privileged of different sections, lack of unrestricted choice of occupation, and restrictions on marriage. L. Dumont (1980) defines caste system it as the system of ideas and values in Hindu social structure and talks about caste as a hierarchically arranged groups based on purity and pollution, hereditary division of labour based on religious qualities, regulation on marriage on the basis of endogamy, restrictions on food and vegetarianism in different groups. Various aspect of the caste system like social, cultural, political, economic and religious which are contributing to its continued survival have been explored in this paper. Caste system is a form of social stratification characterized by endogamy, hereditary transmission of a lifestyle which often includes an occupation, status in a hierarchy, and customary social interaction and exclusion. But most importantly, it focuses on the dynamics of continuity in the Caste System which is still continuing today and also it discusses some of the other current emerging trends on the issue of reservation like jat, Maratha and patidar agitation

 Abstract

Renaissance refers to the literary, cultural, social reform and political movements that took place in Tamilnadu. Tamil Nadu history begins in the 3rd century BC. When the British Crown took over the administration of the country from the British East India Company, there was a rapid rise in literacy levels in South India. The response of a people to invasion by aliens from a foreign land is a measure of the depth of their roots and the strength of their identity. It was under British conquest that the Tamil renaissance of the second half of the 19th century gathered momentum.

 Abstract

ABSTRACT Sum total of eighty samples were collected from Eleme and Port Harcourt for this study using forty (40) sterile swap sticks for each location. Two (2) different media (MacConkey Agar and Chocolate Agar) were used for the culture isolation of the microorganisms. Each swab stick was introduced on the surface of the media by streaking on the solid agar for microbial identification and biochemical analysis was done for specific identification of the microbes. Plasmid profiling of the isolated microorganisms to evaluate plasmid DNA was done by culturing in LB media with antibiotic selective pressure. This study identify four (4) microorganisms with Escherichia coli having the highest occurrence percentage of 46.30% from both location while 3.45% of Serratiam arcescen, 11.82% of Bacillus cereus and 38.43% of Staphylococcus aureus were isolated from both locations. The population of Escherichia coli isolated from Eleme and Port Harcourt was significantly high with percentage occurrence of 19.21% and 27.09 % respectively. This study implicated Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus to be responsible for degradation of coated surface. Isolated from Eleme had plasmid of molecular weight 23.13kbp while Port Harcourt had plasmid of molecular weight 23.13kbp, and 4.361kbp showing significant change on their plasmid morphology.

Plant collections were made and standard procedures were adopted for identifying plants. The characteristic features of the plants were noted and their photographs were taken in the field. The terminologies followed in describing and identifying the plants are in conformity with IPNI and Plant List (2013). Classification given by Bentham and Hooker (1862-1883) and Hooker (1872-1897) for seed plants and by Fraser-Jenkins et al. (2017, 2018) for pteridophytes with modifications according to the latest rules and knowledge have been adopted.

Abstract We live in the modern world with all its forces and splendors, achievements and success, developments and growth. Today human beings can do anything with the possibilities of their own inventions. Technologically, scientifically, and materially humanity has reached the peak of glory as never before. All of creation is potentially a mediator of divine disclosure, but the church is the community which possesses the greatest potential for communication about God. According to Avery Dulles, the church exists in order to bring men into communion with God and there by open up to communication with each other. This task is called with various names as mission, evangelization, or education. If we are committed to these statements, then, surely we will be available to carry out the task that Jesus has entrusted to his disciples. Hence, this research may help the readers to be firm, like the great gentle saint, St Francis de Sales, who lived in the seventeenth century and made a great history in his life, by taking God�s word to the people in his milieu. He could do it with the availability of resources. He spoke of God in such tones of love that the hearts of the hearers were touched. People accepted his faith and were moved to love God more earnestly and sincerely than before. His sermons and his writings were in fact the expressions of what he had experienced deeply within himself, an intimate personal relationship with his Lord and master. So this thesis can be very helpful for the readers to know the value about the media and its advantages to proclaim the Lord�s message to the entire humanity. Let the legacy of St Francis de Sales be rooted and be continued by everyone.

 Abstract

Periodontal therapy aims to regenerate the lost periodontal tissues caused by periodontitis. Periodontal regeneration is a multifactorial process and requires a multi?dependent sequence of biological events, including cell?adhesion, migration, proliferation, and differentiation. Several bone graft materials have been used in the treatment of infrabony defects, but complete and predictable reconstruction of periodontal tissues is still difficult to obtain. The reason is that periodontium, once damaged has a limited capacity for regeneration. Demineralized freeze?dried bone allograft (DFDBA) has been histologically proven to be the material of choice for regeneration. However, platelet?rich fibrin (PRF) has been said to have several properties that aid in healing and regeneration. When mixed with the bone graft, PRF fragments serve as a biological connector between bone particles. Moreover, the gradual release of cytokines plays a significant role in the self?regulation of inflammatory and infectious phenomena within the grafted material. Therefore, a combination of PRF and DFDBA demonstrated better results in probing pocket depth reduction and clinical attachment gain in a various studies. In this case report, an additional clinical outcome of Combination of DFDBA with PRF in the treatment of periodontal intrabony defect was seen.
