A Study to assess the effect of balloon blowing exercise on airway patency among preschool children with acute respiratory illness in selected schools at Kanyakumari district

Children are the blessings from the Lord. They are like clay in the potter’s hand. Health plays a major role in the future of the children to withstand and meet personal, psychological, and social needs and fulfill the challenges in life. In India, about 35% of the total population are children below 15 years of age. The World Health Organization(WHO) estimates that respiratory infections account for 6% of the total global burden of disease. The study was a quasi-experimental study with a quantitative research approach. The study was conducted in two government primary schools (Marankonam and Mundavilai). The data collection period was one month. The samples were preschool children between the age group of 4-6 years with acute respiratory illness. A purposive sampling technique was used to select the samples, the sample size was 40. The tool used for data collection Was Respiratory Parameter’s Observation Checklist. The findings revealed that the pre-test means score level of respiratory parameters among preschool children was 24. The post-test mean score level of respiratory parameters among preschool children was 16.5. the ‘t’ value 19.034* which is significant at p<0.001. The mean score of respiratory parameters among preschool children with acute respiratory illness in post-test was 16.5 and in control group 19.4 respectively. The unpaired ‘t’ values were 3.908* which is significant at p0.05.So the hypothesis (H2) is accepted.

Personal Financial Planning and its effect on the Indian Economy

“FAILING TO PLAN IS PLANNING TO FAIL” Financial planning is planning which deals with money. Personal financial planning refers to the proper planning and implementation of well-coordinated plans to achieve financial objectives. The savings and investments made today should match the future goals. Every human being is interested in leading a ‘Happy Life’ as long as he lives. Happy life would mean having some goals to be achieved and possessing sufficient money to attain those goals. Personal Financial Planning helps one to lead a happy life by planning one’s goals, the process required to achieve the goals, the timing of the investments, and the class of assets to be invested in. In India, the knowledge of personal finance is very poor at all ages. People are not aware of such a concept and whatever they learn is from observing what their parents or friends do. Financial education and awareness from an early stage would definitely help in increased fiscal responsibility being taken by the young citizens of India and also result in wise spending and improved savings and investment for the economy.

An analysis of Vivādi Rāga-S handled by Muttusvāmi Dīkṣita

Rāga, tāla, and pada are the three foundational elements of Indian Classical Music. A rāga comprises a group of svara-s which have a specific and well-defined relation with each other, and clear-cut patterns of movement. The intra-relationship between these svara-s in a phrase gives each rāga its unique flavor. A svara in a rāga which is prominent and is used frequently is known as vādi. There are said to be three ways in which svara-s are related to each other with reference to the vādi - samvādi, anuvādi and vivādi. Svara-s that have a discordant relation to the vādi are called vivādi. The presence of vivādi relationship between svara-s in a rāga is considered to be a ‘defect’ and ‘dōṣa’. This ‘vivāditva’ is seen in forty out of the seventy-two mēla-s and in this mēla-s, forty-four compositions of Muttusvāmi Dīkṣita are found in Saṅgīta Sampradāya Pradarśini, the earliest authentic source of his compositions. While rendering these mēla-s, Subbarāma Dīkṣita, the author of Saṅgīta Sampradāya Pradarśini says that it is tradition to observe ‘vādi vivādi lakṣaṇa-s’ in order to offset the ‘dōṣa’ of vivāditva. An analysis of the handling of vivādi rāga-s by Muttusvāmi Dīkṣita is taken up in this paper.

Age of Deglobalization: Scenario, Winners, and Opportunities

Since the great recession of 2008, an era of deglobalization in terms of the flow of immigrants, money, and trade across borders has started. Trade has risen steadily for about more than 50% until the shock of the 2008 downturn turned many countries inward since the 1970s. As they start erecting new tariffs and NTB’s by the hundreds, global trade has fallen back, and the general consensus is that the whole world is worse off as a result. But as trade flows fell, they also began to shift. China’s share of global manufacturing exports peaked at more than 17% in 2014 and began to fall, particularly in cheap, labor-intensive sectors like apparel. China’s loss has benefitted those nations with the most advantageous labor and regulatory conditions, unfortunately, does not benefit much to India. But, a conducive policy environment could materialize this deglobalization era for India’s job-led manufacturing sector. This paper aims at analyzing the shifts of supply chains of global to other Asian nations and the opportunities for India amid burgeoning trade differences between two economic giants i.e. U.S. and China.

Implications of blockchain technology on corporate governance in India

With the advent of technology, humans have made it possible to arrive at a place where they can carry out huge transactions all by themselves without the help of any intermediaries. This technology is very famously called blockchain technology (BCT). The primary focus of this article is to see what implications BCT would have on corporate governance being specific to India. Corporate governance includes the government, big companies, and financial institutions that work through a framework for the smooth functioning of the companies. Although BCT is at a very primitive stage in India, if implemented it can fix the lop-sidedness of corporate governance in India for it provides greater transparency, efficiency, and security. The author through this article has explained the working of blockchain technology. Finally, the author has emphasized the need of adopting BCT for better corporate governance in India.
