Immanuel Kant and the “New Enlightenment”. International Conference Report
Authors: Startseva Arina , Sabanov Aleksandr O.
Published: May 2023

The review surveys the main ideas discussed at the international scientific conference “Immanuel Kant and the ‘New Enlightenment’” hosted by the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University (IKBFU) in Kaliningrad on 20-22 April 2022. It was organised by IKBFU’s research unit Academia Kantiana with the support of the Petersburg Dialogue Forum. Speakers analysed the theses of the Report to the Club of Rome, Come on! Capitalism, Short-termism, Population and the Destruction of the Planet (2018), whose authors, Ernst Ulrich von Weizsäcker and Anders Wijkman, initiated a call for a “new Enlightenment”. The participants compared these theses with Kant’s philosophical ideas and looked for an answer to the question whether Kant’s critical philosophy should be consigned to the “old” Enlightenment or whether it has real potential for the desired “new Enlightenment”. The summaries of papers and discussions are arranged in order of their presentation. The Conference has shown that Kant’s Enlightenment has not lost its relevance while the ideas of the “new Enlightenment” need to be further examined philosophically.

Authors: Cruz Islas Ignacio César
Published: May 2023

Esta investigación parte de la perspectiva que relaciona población y desarrollo sustentable, con el objeto de integrar un marco para el estudio del desarrollo regional en el estado de Hidalgo. En las líneas de esta obra se plasma el comportamiento de diversas variables agrupadas en cuatro dimensiones analíticas: la demográfica, la económica, la ambiental y la de wacción pública.
Así, la primera parte se enfoca a caracterizar aspectos sociodemográficos y económicos, para luego pasar a los que se vinculan con la cuestión ambiental y la gobernabilidad democrática, con énfasis en el ámbito municipal y los gobiernos locales.
El comportamiento en el territorio estatal de los distintos indicadores utilizados es contrastante en varios sentidos. Se trata de condiciones que responden a dinámicas particulares, interrelacionadas entre sí en diversas formas e intensidades. Es por ello que Población y desarrollo sustentable en el estado de Hidalgo nos permite conocer nuestro contexto y trata de atinar hacia dónde se dirige la dinámica poblacional hidalguense, usando para tal fin paradigmas emergentes como el de la sustentabilidad ambiental y la gobernanza desde lo local, además de que aporta reflexiones útiles
para construir un modelo analítico que permita una aproximación integral a interrelaciones complejas.

White, or not quite? Predicting Arab American responses to racial categorization forms
Authors: Hakim Nader H. , Branscombe Nyla R.
Published: May 2023

We examined the implications of the institutional racial/ethnic designation of Arab Americans as White. Do Arab Americans prefer this categorization or another, and what factors predict categorization in one way or another? In Study 1, a representative sample of Arab Americans in Southeast Michigan (N = 1,001 57% female, ages 18 to 88, Age M = 43.64) completed measures of perceived discrimination, various forms of social identification, and self-categorized from Census-designated racial categories. Self-categorization as “Other” was significantly predicted by experiences of discrimination, Muslim religious affiliation, and having darker skin. In Study 2, with a convenience sample of Arab American college students (52% female, Age M = 20.25), participants were randomly assigned to self-categorize as either “White” or as “Middle Eastern/North African” and then completed measures of perceived discrimination and various forms of social identification. Assigned self-categorization as “Middle Eastern/North African” significantly predicted subgroup respect towards Arabs, but only among those who strongly identified as American. Far from being a neutral, merely reflective method of categorization, the Census and similar categorization forms are sites of racial/ethnic socialization. Respondents bring to such forms their social psychological experience. For many Arab Americans, a host of social experiences indicate the (in)appropriateness and meaning of being forced to self-categorize as White or being allowed to self-categorize differently.
É possível envelhecer com segurança praticando exercícios de ultra-resistência?

Published: May 2023

O processo de envelhecimento saudável, sem dúvida, inclui ter um estilo de vida com escolhas e hábitos positivos. Nesse contexto, a prática de exercícios físicos, de forma regular, é essencial. Está bem estabelecido que o exercício físico de intensidade moderada colabora para diminuir as morbidades e perdas de funcionalidades dos diferentes sistemas fisiológicos, bem como diminui o risco de distúrbios ortopédicos e cardiovasculares, associados com o envelhecimento. No entanto, a execução de exercícios físicos de alta intensidade e volume, como os de ultra-resistência aeróbia (IronMan triathlon, maratona, ciclismo de estrada etc.), na presença de doenças cardiovasculares congênitas e/ou adquiridas, pode predispor os praticantes a um risco amentado de morte súbita associada ao exercício físico. Além disso, há divergência na literatura científica se a prática de exercícios de ultra-resistência no curso do processo de envelhecimento é segura ou não para a saúde e pode aumentar ou diminuir a longevidade. Dessa forma, o objetivo do presente artigo de opinião é discutir a literatura atual do assunto na ótica da pergunta “É possível envelhecer com segurança praticando exercícios de ultra-resistência?”, bem como a possível associação desse tipo de exercício físico com casos de morte súbita. Nossa pesquisa aponta que a despeito dos benefícios da prática de exercício físico, o de alta intensidade somado a condições de saúde pré-existentes pode ser o gatilho para eventos de morte súbita.

Published: May 2023

As medidas socioeconômicas desempenham um papel fundamental na elaboração de diagnósticos do ambiente socioeconômico, servindo de parâmetros de estudo em sociologia, demografia, economia e ciência política. Pela sua relevância, este estudo tem como objetivo identificar o que a literatura científica nacional e internacional apresenta sobre o indicador de nível socioeconômico (SES) para que seja possível destacar os principais resultados, recomendações, problemas e oportunidades futuras de pesquisa na mensuração do indicador. Para alcançar os objetivos, foi realizada uma revisão sistemática, complementada por uma pesquisa exploratória com base no método SSF (Systematic Search Flow). Da revisão, destacam-se os seguintes resultados: os estudos buscam operacionalizar a mensuração do indicador socioeconômico por meio dos componentes de escolaridade dos pais, prestígio ocupacional dos pais e renda ou riqueza familiar; a evolução da medida NSE está em linha com a utilização de modelos estatísticos da Teoria de Resposta ao Item (TRI). Conclui-se que a definição do construto é moldada de acordo com as diferentes realidades de cada país.
Are all Sex Criminals the Same? Consumers of Child Pornography Reconsidered
Authors: Vaisman-Tzachor Reuben
Published: May 2023

A theoretical and practical distinction is drawn between sex offenders and consumers of child pornography on the bases of their unique and different psychological makeups and motives to offend. Distinct psychological profiles have been revealed in clinical practice and in research between “active” sex offenders (e.g., sexual assault, sexual abuse, molestation, active pedophiles, etc.) and “passive” sex offenders (i.e., those prosecuted for consumption of child pornography). Recommendations are made for legislation changes and development of treatment approaches, based on these differences.
Danmarks beredskab mod påvirknings-operationer: minimalistisk tilgang til kompleks udfordring
Authors: Jensen Mikkel Storm , Svensson Jens
Published: May 2023

Påvirkningsoperationer fra fjendtlige stater er en stigende trussel, som kræver et stående beredskab til at forebygge og imødekomme. Skiftende danske regeringer har siden 2018 valgt en minimalistisk tilgang i rammen af sektoransvarsprincippet til håndteringen af denne trussel: en task force bestående af embedsmænd fra en række ministerier støttet af Forsvarets Efterretningstjeneste, som skal imødekomme denne udfordring ved siden af deres primære opgaver. Denne artikel argumenterer for, at truslen fra påvirkningsoperationer er et såkaldt wicked problem – en kompleks problemstilling, der ikke kan løses af en enkelt aktør alene, og som fordrer en mere netværksbaseret tilgang med bred inddragelse fra offentlige og private organisationer og civile borgere. Artiklen undersøger den nuværende indsats og vejer den op imod de teoretiske anbefalinger i håndteringen af komplekse problemer. Til sidst drages paralleller til Sveriges tilgang, hvor der er oprettet en organisation udelukkende dedikeret til håndtering af truslen.
Can Denmark threaten, lie, and mislead? Influence operations from a legal perspective
Authors: Schack Marc
Published: May 2023

A state like Denmark, which is committed to the rule of law, is characterized by its democratic foundations, adherence to legal principles such as equality before the law, and a commitment to the protection of fundamental freedoms. This stands in contrast to other types of states where such elements are either absent or subdued. The question is what this contrast means for Denmark’s ability to carry out or counter-influence operations. In this article, Denmark’s ability to handle such operations is considered based on an analysis of key rules that bind the Danish state. Since the topic is, in principle, extensive, the article focuses on three legal issues: the duty of truthfulness for Danish authorities, the international legal principle of sovereignty, and the regulation of the use of force and armed conflict.
Denmark’s preparedness against influence operations: Minimalist approach to a complex challenge
Authors: Jensen Mikkel Storm , Svensson Jens
Published: May 2023

Since 2018, Danish governments have considered the threat from hostile influence campaigns sufficiently significant to require a constant readiness to counter such events. Over the years, Danish governments years have taken a minimalistic approach to the complex threats: A task force consisting of civil servants from various ministries supported by the national intelligence services operating under the sectorial responsibility principle. The involved personnel, which solve the task alongside their primary portfolios, are designated as the core in ad-hoc organizations that handle the challenges depending on where they emerge. The analysis compares the Danish minimalist approach with the Swedish approach. Sweden also responds to the challenge using the sector responsibility principle, but contrary to Denmark, Sweden has established a substantial and highly profiled standing organisation with no other tasks.
Considerações sobre a liberdade em Viktor Frankl e Carl Rogers
Authors: Ponte Roger , Brito Francisco Victor
Published: May 2023

Considerando a importância de se continuar tecendo reflexões acerca da liberdade humana, o presente artigo objetiva, por meio de um estudo de cunho bibliográfico, apresentar a ideia de liberdade em dois autores: Viktor Frankl e Carl Rogers. A partir da apresentação dos aspectos principais das teorias desenvolvidas por ambos e das visões de homem a elas subjacentes, buscou-se apreender que compreensão tem a liberdade humana nas duas perspectivas. Dentre os principais resultados alcançados, vimos que Frankl entende a liberdade como uma característica fundante da dimensão noética do homem, que se constitui sobre a possibilidade de distanciar-se de sua condição psicofísica e social, posicionando-se de forma livre e responsável. Já em Rogers, percebemos um conflito entre a sua defesa da liberdade do ser humano e sua crença em uma tendência inerente ao crescimento, que nos pareceu condicionar a liberdade de escolha sobre a qual ele fala.

Conclui-se que a intervenção revela potencialidades na promoção de práticas parentais positivas, porém, limitações do estudo são destacadas
Effects of the Dimensionless Light Extinction Coefficient on Soot Particles Concentration for Different Coal Combustion Conditions
Authors: Yang Ho-Dong , Kim Moo-Hyun , Park Seul-Hyun
Published: May 2023

This study investigated the effect of the dimensionless light extinction coefficient on soot particles concentration for different combustion conditions of bituminous coal. The combustion pressures and burning temperatures were set between 0.1 MPa and 0.3 MPa, and 550 ℃ to 650 ℃, respectively. The dimensionless light extinction coefficient was experimentally measured and the soot particles concentration was calculated using the full-field extinction method and Abel deconvolution technique. The results of this study showed that the dimensionless light extinction coefficient increased with increasing burning temperature under constant pressure. Further, when the burning temperature was constant, the dimensionless light extinction coefficient also increased. In addition, the soot particles concentration increased as the flame height increased, and changed by about 15% as a function of the dimensionless light extinction coefficient at the same flame height.

Published: May 2023

This study was conducted on firefighters from 11 fire departments located in Jeollabuk-do from October to November of 2020. As determined by the hearing loss screening questionnaire (KHHIE-S), length of time spent working in military services and in the rescue team/Emergency Medical Services (EMS) were found to be factors that significantly affecting hearing loss in the group. The worst four Pure Tone Average (PTA) scores on the screening hearing test were observed in study subjects who were male, and those who had previously worked for extended lengths of time in EMS and/or outside duty. In this study, factors affecting hearing loss in firefighters were identified. This research will hopefully provide an opportunity for the health care community, academia, government, and society in general to learn about and become involved in combatting hearing impairment and hearing loss in this critical profession.
Plan to Secure the Effectiveness of Firefighting Facilities and Regulations in Multi-use Establishments by Analyzing Fire Cases at G Gosiwon
Authors: Choi Young , Lee Young Ju
Published: May 2023

On multiple occasions, the government has implemented stricter fire safety regulations to mitigate fire-related damages at Gosiwon in Seoul. Despite these efforts, a fatal fire incident transpired on April 11, 2022 at G Gosiwon, Seoul, resulting in the death of to residents. This study examined the fire facilities at G Gosiwon to investigate the fire safety regulations of the government while analyzing the status of regulation enforcement and its accompanying issues . Findings indicate that installing simplistic sprinkler systems violated the law and was left unmonitored for extended periods. Furthermore, a significant number of government-imposed regulations were not followed. This study showed that the fire department has a deficiency in its complete certification system, which checks for the enforcement of reinforcement regulations during the transfer of ownership, as well as lacks a system for the adequate management and operation of firefighting facilities for small buildings that were not originally classified as a specific fire target. As a remedy, improving the system by monitoring compliance with the current regulations is necessary during the completion certificate process of the fire department following ownership transfer. Furthermore, submitting a fire facility inspection report to the fire department should be mandatory for high-risk multi-use businesses built in unspecified buildings.

Authors: Korata Rameswary , Veeragandham Satyanarayana , Yarlagadda Krishna Bharathi
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Sinonasal and nasopharyngeal lesions is a common problem in the present environment with diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. Majority of the lesions present clinically as polypoid masses. Histopathological examination of these lesions is essential for the definitive diagnosis because management and prognosis vary among different lesions. Aim: To determine the incidence of various nasal lesions reported in a rural tertiary care hospital, and to compare these lesions in relation to demographic data of the patients. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on the specimens received at histopathology section from the ENT department of a tertiary care hospital from April 2018 to November 2021. The specimens were fixed in 10% formalin, processed and then stained with haematoxylin and eosin. Required data were obtained from the histopathology records. Results: The present study was conducted on a total of 100 cases. Amongst these, 61 were males and 39 were females. An overall male predominance was noted. Maximum numbers of cases were diagnosed in the age group 31-40 years. Non neoplastic constituted N=86 cases (86%), neoplastic benign lesions constituting N=10 cases (10%) and malignant masses constituted N=04 cases (04%) of the total lesions in the present study. Inflammatory polyps were the most commonly diagnosed cases and few fungal rhinosinusitis in postCOVID-19 patients were noted in the present study. Inverted papillomas were predominant benign neoplastic lesions whereas nasopharyngeal carcinomas were noted as predominant malignant lesions. Conclusion: Most of the sinonasal and nasopharyngeal lesions reported were non neoplastic and inflammatory polyp being most common. Malignant lesions were reported in advanced age of life.
Immunobullous Disorder: A Diagnostic Dilemma Faced at a Tertiary Care Centre in Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu, India
Authors: Joseph Bindhuja
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Immunobullous disorders are morphologically heterogenous and hence the differentiation between various subtypes is essential for proper treatment and prognosis. Prompt diagnosis needs clinicopathological concordance added with Immunofluorescence (IF) in particular Direct Immunofluorescence (DIF) study to avoid discrepancies. Aim: To study the clinicopathological profile along with immunological features and to analyse the utility of IF in particular DIF of immunobullous disorders. Materials and Methods: The present study was a single institution based cross-sectional observational hospital study done in the department of pathology in SreeMookambika Institute of Medical Sciences, Tamil Nadu over a period of one year (July 2019-August 2020) involving 70 outpatients in the department of dermatology with clinical evidence of bullous disorders. Two biopsies were taken from the patient, one from a newly formed bulla or vesicle for Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stain and the other from a perilesional normal looking skin for DIF study. Statistical analysis was done by using SPSS software. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. However, the final diagnosis was arrived after considering clinical, bedside investigations, histopathology and DIF study. Results: Out of seventy (70) patients included in this study, the most common age group of distribution was between 51-60 years in a frequency of 22 (31.4%). Out of 70 patients, 39 patients were diagnosed with intraepidermal bullous disorders and 31 patients were diagnosed with subepidermal bullous disorders. The most common disorder diagnosed was based on clinical findings was Pemphigus Vulgaris (PV) 31 (44.3%) followed by Bullous Pemphigoid (BP) 23 (32.9%). The common disorder diagnosed based on histopathology was PV 33 (47.1%). Clinical and histopathological concordance was conclusive in 31 cases of PV. The percentage of diagnosis of DIF was positive in 67 (95.71%). Patients which reached to inconclusive (DIF was not definite) diagnosis was in only three patients. Conclusion: Since, in most of the cases there occurs an overlap in clinical and histopathological features, IF in particular, DIF plays a sensitive tool in confirming diagnosis as well as distinguishing immunobullous disorders from other disorders.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become a metabolism-related severe illness, and during the next ten years, it will continue to be a major global liver health concern. According to epidemiological research, the incidence of NAFLD in the general population of India ranges from 9% to 32%, with a higher frequency in people who are obese and have diabetes. NAFLD is most strongly associated with obesity and insulin resistance, increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular and cardiac diseases, chronic kidney disease, and a causal link in sleep apnea, colorectal cancer, osteoporosis, psoriasis, various endocrinopathies such as polycystic ovary syndrome, as well as liver cancer and a liver transplant. Although liver biopsy is still the gold standard for a conclusive diagnosis, developing non-invasive advanced imaging like USG, biochemical, and genetic tests will undoubtedly give future clinicians a wealth of knowledge and the chance to understand the pathogenesis better and develop targeted treatments. Several drugs and nutritional supplements are now used to treat NAFLD, but none appear to be the "magic cure" for this escalating issue. To better understand this condition and manage NAFLD patients, we have compiled the most recent information on NAFLD epidemiology, risk factors, prevalence, pathogenesis, diagnosis, staging, screening, and treatment in this study.

Authors: GUA Kumara , B Naga Sravani , A Vijaya Lakshmi
Published: May 2023

Hingu (Asafoetida) is a commonly used traditional spice in Asian cuisine since ancient times. The botanical source of Hingu is Ferula asafoetida (Bunge) Regel: Apiaceae family, native to the mountains of Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan. The useful part of the drug is the oleoresin gum extracted from the stem and rhizome of the Asafoetida plant. This study was designed to compile the classical uses of Hingu in Brihatrayi. In this study, 72, 56 and 62 references for uses of Hingu were founded in Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita and Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita, respectively. According to these references, Hingu can apply in various dosage forms such as Kashaya, Curna, Vati, Gutika, Varti, Lepa, Leha, Taila, Ghrita, Anjana, Dhumapana and Dhupana. And also it is useful in a vast range of diseases belonging to various disciplines of Ayurveda, including Kaya Cikitsa, Kaumarabhritya, Shalya, Shalakya, Graha Cikitsa, Vajikarana, Visha Cikitsa, Striroga and Prasuti roga. It is mainly indicated in diseases of Annapacana (Gastrointestinal tract) and Shwasana (Respiratory tract) and also as a Rakshoghna dravya. Hence, it can be concluded that Hingu is a mostly prescribed herbal medicine in Brihatrayi. It is a more valuable herbal source in managing various diseases in human beings in all stages of their lifespan.
PATHOPHYSIOLOGICAL UNDERSTANDING OF RASAVAHA SROTO DUSHTI IN THE CURRENT SCENARIO: A REVIEW
Authors: Jain Ashutosh Kumar , Paul Smita Dutta
Published: May 2023

Srotasa are channels or pores that nourish the whole body and are responsible for some particular function with respect to specific body parts. The Ayurveda Samhitas described anatomical and physiological concepts of Srotasa broadly. Srotasa mainly regulates the process of circulation in the human body. The Srotasa not only perform various functions, but a disturbance in Srotasa may also impart some pathological manifestation. Therefore it is essential to understand the physiological concepts of Srotasa. This article presents the Ayurveda perspective of Rasa vaha Srotasa and their physiological considerations.

Authors: Saharan Harsh , Sharma Amita , Beniwal Anubhav
Published: May 2023

The conservation status of Indian camels and their declining population is a growing concern, with the IUCN listing them as a threatened species. The decline in their population is attributed to a decrease in their use for agriculture and transportation, as well as a decrease in demand for camel milk and milk products. However, camel milk has been shown to have various health benefits and has been approved for sale in India by the Food Safety and Standards Authority. The study has explored brand preferences and factors influencing consumers' selection of a brand, concluding that quality and price were the most important factors for consumers. The study highlights the potential of the camel milk industry for economic development and conservation efforts.
Research on the Measurement and Countermeasures of Marine Green Economy Efficiency in China under the Background of “Double-Carbon”
Authors: Xinyue Yu , Jifeng Zhang , Zirui Yang , Luxue Liang
Published: May 2023

Aims: It is of great significance to China to realize the green and sustainable development of Marine economy in the process of continuously and steadily promoting the practice of reaching carbon peak and carbon neutrality. In recent years, the measure of Marine green economy efficiency has attracted wide attention from academic circles.

Methodology: Under the dual perspective of environmental constraints and government governance, this paper will, based on the panel data of 11 coastal provinces in China from 2004 to 2019, use the ultra-efficiency SBM model to measure the efficiency of Marine green economy in 11 coastal provinces in China, and conduct a static effect analysis. At the same time, the traditional DEA model is adopted to calculate the Marine economic efficiency without considering the unexpected output and resource input, and the two calculation results are compared and analyzed.

Conclusion: (1) the overall efficiency level of Marine green economy in China is not high; (2) the undesired output has obvious influence on the efficiency value of Marine green economy, and the resource and environmental constraints will cause a certain degree of resource loss; (3) due to the economic development level and regional differences in different provinces, some provinces improve the Marine economic efficiency by sacrificing the environment. Finally, based on the above conclusions, targeted suggestions are put forward for the development of China's Marine economy to develop the Marine economy and accelerate the construction of a maritime power.
Evaluating the Protective and Ameliorative Effects of Kolaviron on Lead-induced Adrenal Gland Toxicity in Adult Wistar Rats
Authors: Ozor Christian Chiemeka , Egbuta Godslove Ugochukwu , Ozoemena Chiadikobi Lawrence
Published: May 2023

Lead (Pb) toxicity is possibly the most common form of heavy metal poisoning in the human body due to the abundant global distribution and utilization of Pb. Pb has no functional role in the body. Its only effect on human organs is regarded as harmful. The adrenal gland, one of the most common endocrine organs associated with chemically induced lesions, has its fair share of organ damage from Pb toxicity. Interestingly, some herbs and fruits notably have ameliorative actions against organs damaged due to Pb and other heavy metal toxicity. Kolaviron, the active constituent of Garcinia kola has such an effect on glands, but substantial studies are yet to be done concerning the adrenal gland. Hence, this study aims to investigate the ameliorative effects of the ethanolic extract of Garcinia kola fruit (Kolaviron) on lead-induced adrenal gland toxicity using adult Wistar rats. Thirty (30) healthy adult Wistar rats weighing 160-200g were grouped into six (n=5). Group A (control) was placed on a diet of food and water ad libitum. Group B (untreated) received lead-acetate solutions at 50mg/kg/day for 14 days. Groups C, D, and E received co-administration of lead-acetate solutions at 50mg/kg/day for 7 days and 100, 200, and 300mg/kg/day of Kolaviron consecutively for 14 days. Group F received lead-acetate solutions at 50mg/kg/day for 7 days only, and subsequently for a period of 7 days, 300mg/kg/day of Kolaviron was administered. The route of all administrations was oral and the experiment lasted for 14 days. The rats were sacrificed under ketamine (100mg/ml) as anesthesia 24 hours after their last treatment. Their adrenal glands were carefully harvested, fixed for histological analysis, and stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin dyes. Relative to the control and untreated groups, treatment with increasing doses of Kolaviron demonstrated mild to moderate ameliorative effects on the pathologic damages noted to be brought about by Pb toxicity. Garcinia kola is a promising agent with potency against adrenal gland injuries from heavy metal intoxication in the human body.
A Study on the Causes and Consequences Inter-State Migration and Reverse Migration in Tamil Nadu, India
Authors: Ramesh G. , Ramya V.
Published: May 2023

In a huge populous country like India, migration is an acceptable reality and inevitable. It is a most effective tool for balancing between shortage of workers at one place and excess population at another area. In the present VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity) business environment, Inter-state migration has socio-economic and political consequences in both donor and recipient states. Migrants do not always relocate willingly or voluntarily. Most of the migrations occur for economic reasons. If continuous employment and consistent income is guaranteed to everyone who are willing to work at all states, there is no need to migrate at all. The state of Tamil Nadu has been forerunner for inter-state migration; presently there is huge number of migrants working in the state.  Places like Tirupur, Erode, Coimbatore, Chennai, Thiruvallur and Chengalpattu are having huge number in-migrants. While excessive inflow of migrants is economically advantageous to source states, it has mix of benefits and challenges to destination states. Long working hours, payment of low wages (about 70% of what the local workers get), poor living conditions, stagnated garbage and waste water, lack of sanitation facilities makes the lives of the migrants vulnerable. Reverse migration is an act of migrants getting back to home places. In extreme cases, migrants could not tolerate and decide to relocate to their native places. The decision made is not based on luxury or added quality of life at their places, but issues faced is migrated state It is a logical mechanism available to the migrant labourers when the whole economy is severely hit by a thunderstorm like covid-19.Migrants’ lives are badly affected to the standstill business environment which could not provide livelihood, shelter and any other social security this labour force. Migration is a constitutional right stronger implementation of labour and migration laws and More concrete measures to curb exploitation and harassment of in-migrants will only solve challenges in such a sensitive issue. The present study attempts to find out the impact of inter-state labour in-migration in Tamil and also the effect of reverse migration from the state.
