TEACHING THROUGH SYNECTICS: PAVING WAY TO INNOVATIVE PRACTICES

William J. J. Gordon and his associates designed Synectics, an interesting approach to the development of creativity. Analogies are the chief element of Synectics. In Synectics exercises students ‘play’ with analogies until they relax and begin to enjoy making more and more metaphoric comparisons. Then they use analogies to attack problems or ideas. It is designed to lead students into slightly illogical world to give us the opportunity to invent new ways of seeing things, expressing ourselves and approaching problems. There are two strategies based on Synectics procedure.

STUDIES THE EFFECT OF TIG WELDING PARAMETERS ON IMPACT STRENGTH OF 5083 ALUMINUM ALLOY

Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding is a high quality welding process used to weld the thin metals and their alloy. 5083 Aluminium alloys play an important role in engineering and metallurgy field because of excellent corrosion properties, ease of fabrication and high specific strength with best combination of toughness and formability. TIG welding technique is one of the precise and fastest processes used in aerospace, ship and marine industries. TIG welding process is used to perform experiment and analyze the recorded data in the form of tables and figures.

COLLECTIVE ANIMAL BEHAVIOR ALGORITHM FOR SOLVING OPTIMAL REACTIVE POWER DISPATCH PROBLEM

This paper presents a collective animal behavior (CAB) algorithm for solving the multi-objective reactive power dispatch problem in power system. Modal analysis of the system is used for static voltage stability assessment. Loss minimization and maximization of voltage stability margin are taken as the objectives. Generator terminal voltages, reactive power generation of the capacitor banks and tap changing transformer setting are taken as the optimization variables A meta heuristic algorithm for global optimization called the collective animal behavior (CAB) is introduced.

THE PROBLEM OF DISABILITY IN INDIA: HOW TO BE TACKLED

There have been efforts internationally to include children with disabilities in the educational mainstream. Geoff Lindsay (2007:1) suggests that ‘inclusive education/mainstreaming is the key policy objective for education of children and young people with disabilities’.

ENGENDERING THE PROFESSIONS FOR THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF WOMEN

Today, we find an increasing number of women in various professions, including the so-called male-dominated professions like Engineering, Management, Finance, Police, Defense and so on. However, very few reach the highest ranks in the professions. ‘Higher the fewer’ appropriately describes the position of women in professions. The graph of their professional development and advancement is far from satisfactory. This is due to socio-cultural, psychological and professional barriers which they face. Several studies have pointed out the under-achievement of professional women.

Facility Management In Sports

Huge money is invested to develop multi purpose facilities to cater the needs of growing number of participants who are much concerned about their health and well being than ever before. The constant honing for healthier life style has led to develop highly sophisticated sports, fitness and recreation programme related facilities in every locality, so as to accommodate the variety of activities in one setting. Further individuals with management skills are employed to manage these highly developed facilities which pose them a great challenge.

Developing Language Learning Strategies Through Web Logs

This research seeks to report a blogging programme that was carried out at H M Patel Institute of English Training and Research in the MA [ELT] programme for the final year students. In order to triangulate the findings, the study collected data by surveying the learners’ blogging processes, investigating learning strategies through SILL (Strategy Inventory of Language Learning) and reflective reports, and conducting retrospective interviews.

THE INDIAN LITERATURE IN ENGLISH: A JOURNEY FROM NATIONALISM TO THE SEARCH OF NATION

After establishing the East India Company, the British came to India to trade. Afterwards, they dominated Indian subcontinent for more than 150 years. With a view to administer the nation smoothly, they needed human resource who knew the local language and deal with the local people. By the beginning of the 19th century the British felt the need for educating and civilizing the natives for various purposes.

Effect Of Industrial Waste Water On Seed Germination And Some Physiological Parameters In Crop Of Gram (Cicer Arietinum L.)

Environment has always been a great challenge to mankind as far crop production is concern. The farms which are near to the industrial area always grow under the effect of industrial waste. The use of industrial waste water for irrigation purpose has emerged an important way to utilize its nutrients and removal of its pollutant’s load. The objective of experiment was to determine how different concentrations of industrial effluents effect on Morphological & physiological parameters in Gram (Cicer arietinum L.) plants.

PUBLIC HEALTH CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM'S RESPONSE TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN INDIA HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS' PERSPECTIVE

Amidst all the forms of Gender Based Violence (GBV), Domestic Violence (DV) is a universal phenomenon that differs in its scope from one society to the other. It is not only detrimental to women’s overall health including their survival but can also become a risk factor for their ill health. There exists a natural tie between the domestic violence and health care. Profound impact of violence on a large number of women’s health and on their health care seeking behaviour makes it pertinent for the health care delivery system to recognize and respond to it.
