Authors: Kumar Ranjeev , Prabha Indu
Published: December 2021

In the sphere of drama, the name of Vijay Tendulkar does not require any introduction. In the galaxy of Indo-Anglo playwrights, Tendulkar is one of the most shining stars. Marathi Theatre is incomplete without the contribution made by Vijay Tendulkar. This Marathi literary figure is a multifaceted personality. He is the one who brought revolution in Marathi Theatre. An avant-garde playwright, Tendulkar has shown versatility by writing several works including one-act plays, children’s plays, short stories, essay collections etc. Vijay Tendulkar is the mouthpiece of the oppressed women in male dominant society. He has deep insight into human nature. He has proved in his plays that it is the male dominant society that does not allow woman to rise from the status of man’s foot. They are exploited, tortured, taunted both physically and emotionally. They are considered inferior to male human beings as male human beings are victims of their superiority complex. Even in some of the societies they are treated as bane while the male child is hailed as boon. His plays depict that women are treated as mere commodities. He has shown how the voice of women is suppressed when they try to voice their concerns against the cruelties. He makes a psychological study of human characters in his plays. An analytical approach to his plays reveals that women are deprived of the life they wish to live. The present research paper focuses on his four plays, to bring to light the enslaved and exploited position of women in society. In ‘Sakharam Binder’ and ‘Kamala’ he brings to light how women are enslaved and exploited. In ‘Silence! The Court is in Session’ and ‘Kanaydaan’ he ascertains the fact that it is male human being who is responsible for the exploitation of women.

THE ROLE OF SPIRITUAL POWER IN HUMAN HEALTH
Authors: Herkal Surendra Chandrakant
Published: December 2021

पMedicine, and healthcare have been related in one way or another in all population groups since the beginning of recorded history. Only in recent times have these systems of healing been separated. One of the challenges physicians face is to help people find meaning and acceptance in the midst of suffering and chronic illness. Spirituality is the person’s inner truth or blissful experience. For many, spirituality takes the form of religious observance, prayer, meditation or a belief in a higher power. For others, it can be found in nature, music, art or a secular community. Spirituality is different for everyone. Through spiritual pursuit, a person tries to connect with a supreme divine or what most people call almighty God. Such people resort to techniques like silence, prayer, meditation and yoga mostly as individual or collective practice, usually under the directions of a spiritual Guru. Others believe in the self-less service to the mankind as a major pathway for seeking god. They adore ‘goodness’ to see God.

सतत और व्यापक मूल्यांकनः एक बुनियादी समझ
Authors: दुबे अभिषेक , सिंह नीता
Published: December 2021

शिक्षा बच्चों के सर्वांगीण विकास का आधार होने के कारण प्रारम्भिक स्तर पर एक सार्वभौमिक आवश्यकता है। हमारे राष्ट्रीय परिप्रेक्ष्य में शिक्षा का लक्ष्य बच्चों के लिये ऐसी गुणवत्तापूर्ण शिक्षा सुनिश्चित करना है, जिससे बच्चों में प्रजातांत्रिक मूल्यांे व व्यवहारों के प्रति कटिबद्धता, सामाजिक, आर्थिक, लैंगिक व अन्य आवश्यकताओं के प्रति संवेदनशीलता तथा सामाजिक, राजनैतिक और आर्थिक प्रक्रियाओं में भाग लेने की क्षमता उत्पन्न हो। ‘‘निःशुल्क और अनिवार्य बाल शिक्षा का अधिकार अधिनियम-2009’’ ने शिक्षा को एक ऐसी सतत गतिशील प्रक्रिया के रूप में देखा है, जो बच्चों को गरिमामय जिन्दगी उपलब्ध कराती है और जहाँ बच्चे ’भय’ और ‘तनाव’ से मुक्त होकर ज्ञान का सृजन करते हैं। इसका अभिप्राय यह है कि ऐसी बाल-केन्द्रित एवं बाल अनुकूल शिक्षा हो जो असमानता को दूर करने के साथ-साथ समान शैक्षिक अवसरों को उपलब्ध कराती हो। जाति, धर्म, मत या लिंग के भेदभाव के बिना सभी विद्यार्थियों की पहुंच गुणवत्तापरक शिक्षा तक हो, साथ ही शिक्षा विद्यार्थियों में जिज्ञासा, सृजनशीलता, वस्तुनिष्ठता जैसी योग्यताओं तथा मूल्यों का विकास करते हुए समस्या समाधान तथा निर्णय लेने के कौशल को विकसित करती हो। इन सरोकारों पर चिन्तन करते हुए ‘‘राष्ट्रीय पाठ्यचर्या की रूपरेखा-2005’’ में शिक्षा के लक्ष्य के संबंध में ‘‘बच्चों को क्या पढ़ाया जाय और कैसे पढ़ाया जाय’’ की कसौटी पर व्यापक रूप से विचार किया गया है। इस दस्तावेज में प्रारम्भिक स्तर पर शिक्षा प्रक्रिया में ज्ञान को स्कूल के बाहरी जीवन से जोड़ने, पढाई को रटन्त प्रणाली से मुक्त करने, पाठ्यचर्या को बच्चों के सर्वांगीण विकास का माध्यम बनाने, परीक्षा को लचीली और कक्षा की गतिविधियों से जोड़ने और छात्रों में मानवीय मूल्यांे का विकास करने पर बल दिया गया है। यह समझ भी बनी कि सही मायने में बच्चों की शिक्षा तभी हो पायेगी जब उनके पास इसका अवसर होगा कि वे अखंड अनुभव की पूर्ण रचना कर सके व ज्ञान का सृजन कर सके। प्रारम्भिक शिक्षा का लक्ष्य बच्चों में वैज्ञानिक मनोवृति एवं तार्किक चिन्तन की प्रवृत्ति का विकास करना है ताकि उनमें संस्कृति, परंपरा तथा समुदाय के अंधानुकरण के स्थान पर मानवता के कल्याण, अन्य समुदायों की संस्कृति और परंपरा के प्रति सम्मान विकसित हो और वे गरीबी, लिंग भेद, जाति तथा सांप्रदायिक झुकाव आदि शोषण व अन्यायपूर्ण व्यवहारों से मुक्त हो सकें। शिक्षा का लक्ष्य वैयक्तिक विशिष्टता को सम्मान प्रदान करना भी है। प्रत्येक बच्चे में अपनी योग्यताएँ, क्षमताएँ और कौशल होते हैं जिनके संवर्द्धन से न केवल वैयक्तिक जीवन को बढ़ावा मिलेगा बल्कि समुदाय का जीवन भी समृद्ध होगा। इन शैक्षिक लक्ष्यों की पूर्ति तभी संभव है जब छात्रों के विकास का मूल्यांकन करने के लिए वैध एवं विश्वसनीय पद्धति भी हो। ऐसा अनुभव रहा है कि विद्यालयों में मूल्यांकन का जोर शिक्षा के सरोकारों पर प्रतिपुष्टि प्राप्त करने के स्थान पर यह जानने में रहा है कि कौन-कौन से बच्चे पास या फेल हैं। इसके अतिरिक्त विद्यालयों में लागू मूल्यांकन की पद्धतियाँ शिक्षा के लक्ष्यों के संबंध में समग्र प्रतिपुष्टि (फीडबैक) नहीं प्रस्तुत करती हैं, वरन् केवल चुनिंदा आयामों पर बच्चे के शैक्षिक एवं अकादमिक प्रगति के बारे में ही जानकारी देती हैं। उक्त सीमित उद्देश्यों के दृष्टिगत भी अभी प्रचलित मूल्यांकन व्यवस्था में परिवर्तन की आवश्यकता है।

EXPLORING THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN OUTCOMES OF ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE FOR TEACHER EDUCATORS
Authors: Verma Neelu
Published: December 2021

This study investigates how outcomes of organizational culture on teacher educators (organizational commitment, job stress, self efficacy and job satisfaction) are related. A model is proposed, tested with structural equation modeling (SEM) and refined using data from 214 teacher educators working in B.Ed. colleges in Mumbai. The causal relationships among the variables considered for this study, that is, organizational culture, organizational commitment, job satisfaction, job stress and self efficacy of teacher educators, are ascertained using Path Analysis. Regression analysis proved that job satisfaction of teacher educators is directly and indirectly influenced by their organizational culture, organizational commitment, job stress and self efficacy. The direct, indirect and total effect of organizational culture on job satisfaction is more than rest of the variables. This implies that if organizational culture is more conducive, job satisfaction will be higher. However, the effect of job stress is negative which implies that higher the job stress, lesser will be the job satisfaction. The present study contributes to the development of a theory on organizational culture and its outcomes.

The freedom movement of the nation would not have been possible without the participation of the women. Many women of Odisha forwent their domestic work, crossed their conservative boundary of family and joined the freedom movement of India. In this context, the women of Sambalpur had not lagged behind. One such luminary of the soil is Prabhavati Devi who had shown her valour and valiant role in the freedom struggle of the land.

Better Health Of every citizen is responsibility of that government. For the betterment of people governments always do needful majors. There are many government schemes which help people to get advantage of it. Central government introduces health policies, which are implemented by state government with the help of Local authorities. In rural areas Local authority is Jeela parishad and panchayat Sammitee, For Cities it is Municipal Council which take care of it. India has very low expenditure on public health- 1.29 %of the GDP in 2019-20. This is very lower than other countries. The constitution of India does not expressly guarantee a fundamental right to health, but there are multiple references about public health and state governments’ role about provision of healthcare of citizens. India’s National Rural Health Mission was launched in 2005 ,aiming is to provide every village in the country with trained female community activist Accredited Social Health Activist[ASHA].This mission begins in 2005 full implementation was targeted for 2012. In July 2013 there were 870,089 ASHA workers in India. Goal of this mission was to connect marginalized communities to the health care system. But we assessed this program on the utilization of maternity services. But from 2020 lockdown the role of ASHA workers changed. ASHA workers play vital role in this pandemic situation. ASHA workers assisted state government in contact tracing and community surveillance. Research wants to know the problem faced by ASHA workers in this crucial period.

Non-Probability based Judgemental Sampling Technique, was used to screen samples from 2 different IT firms from Pune city, who were falling under the criteria of using laptop/desktop/computer for ≥5hours/day, between 30-50years of age group, experiencing neck pain/stiffness and were willing to participate in study. Neck Disability Index Questionnaire (NDI) includes 10 measuring sections such as neck pain, personal care, headache, lifting, reading, concentration, sleeping, work, driving, and recreation was used to collecting data. Using ABBA method, total selected 26 IT professionals, were divided into two groups, i.e., experimental (n=13) and control group (n=13). 6 weeks Greeva Sanchalan intervention was developed and implemented to experimental group’s IT professionals only. After 6 weeks, post-test NDI scores were collected for all 26 IT professionals. NDI pre and post test scores were statistically analysed through Descriptive and Inferential statistics using SPSS software. Mean of pre and post NDI scores for experimental group was 7.92 (±1.89) and 5.62 (±1.26) respectively. Similarly Mean of pre and post NDI scores for control group was 7.54 (±2.44) and 7.77 (± 2.98) respectively. On comparing the Mean of pre and post NDI scores with Neck Disability Index standard norms, all 26 IT professionals were falling within mild neck disability category. Mean of change in performance for experimental and control group’s IT professionals were 2.31 (±2.06) and 0.23 (±1.74) respectively. Calculated mean difference of change in performance was 2.54 for 26 IT professionals. Calculated t-value was 3.40(24) at 0.05 significance level (p=0.002; p less than 0.05). According to statistical outcome, 6 weeks Greeva Sanchalan intervention benefitted in reducing neck pain/stiffness related to work among IT professionals, which relieved muscular tension of neck-shoulder region. It improves range of motion (CROM) of cervical pivot joint along with regaining neck muscles flexibility, which also strengthens neck muscles.
DIASPORA AND IDENTITY IN NAIPAUL’S WORKS : A SELECT STUDY
Authors: Chaudhary Ankita
Published: December 2021

“Write what you know” - this is the age-old advice said by someone to all the novelists. Surajprasad Naipaul, generally known as V. S. Naipaul, took it more seriously than others. Naipaul’s grandparents migrated from Uttar Pradesh India to Trinidad. His grandfather started working as an indentured laborer in the sugarcane estates there. They faced many problems regarding settlement and adjustment in this new cultural environment. That’s why Naipaul’s works are replete with the themes of diaspora. He applied his uniquely careful prose style to the point where the observer has called him the greatest living writer of English prose. Often known as the world’s writer, Naipaul is both one of the most highly regarded and one of the most controversial of contemporary writers. Much of his work deals with individuals who feel estranged from the societies. The present paper is an effort to analyze his select works based on diaspora and identity. Different characters in his fiction and non-fiction works seem to be in search of their identity in this world. Cultural-clash and hybridity, these twin themes, are also dominant in his works and I have tried to highlight all these diaspora-related issues in this paper.
EVOLVING LEARNING SPACE, ITS AVAILABILITY AND ADAPTATION TO IT BY TEACHERS AND LEARNERS
Authors: Palan Sona
Published: December 2021

पThe following study focusses on the efforts that need to go into preparing the teacher and learner to adapt into the evolving learning spaces. A place where learning takes place, is a learning space. We have been using the traditional classroom for the purpose of teaching and learning since many years. It is important to discuss various facets of learning space, which reflects the learner’s approach in the current scenario. The concept of learning space needs to be reconceptualised by taking into consideration students’ mindset. Thereby building better ways of communication between learners and teachers. Classrooms as we have had since many years needs to be visualised differently. We also need to prepare our learners and teachers to adapt to new and changing structure in education. The pandemic situation has enabled us to think differently, use more of technology, offering flexibility, be more interactive while keeping safe distance.
Exploring Deeper Causes Linking Adolescents’ Mental Disorders to Mobile Phone Use Problems: Grounded Theory Approach
Authors: Sun Zeyuan , Zhou Yue , Zhang Yinan , Gui Bing , Liu Zhenmi
Published: December 2021

Background

Evidence from a variety of studies link mobile phone use with an increase in mental health problems, with the situation being particularly prevalent in China and exacerbated by the COVID-19 quarantine.

Objective

This study aims to reveal underlying connections between mobile phone use and mental disorders of adolescents, and to develop a theory to help parents and counseling psychologists better understand and intervene in future cases.

Methods

A total of 37 teenagers having both mental health and mobile phone use problems, along with their parents, were included for individual interviews. These interviews were transcribed, coded, and analyzed using qualitative methods of grounded theory.

Results

The grades-ranking-first mentality is one of the main factors causing problems such as defective family bonding and peer influences, pushing teenagers with mental disorders to seek comfort in the virtual world through their cellphones.

Conclusions

The idea proposed in this study is not only inspiring for psychological counseling and therapy on adolescents with mental problems but also beneficial for school educators and parents to better understand the adolescents. The findings of the study are also particularly noteworthy in the postpandemic age, where parents whose work locations and schedules are substantially affected due to any emergencies should try to build a relaxing and cozy atmosphere at home to avoid possible conflicts with adolescents.

Authors: Ng Ashley H , Greenwood Deborah A , Iacob Eli , Allen Nancy A , Ferrer Mila , Rodriguez Bruno , Litchman Michelle L
Published: December 2021

Background

Type 2 diabetes is twice as likely to affect Hispanic people than their White counterparts. Technology and social support may be an important part of behavior change. In this study, we address gaps in diabetes care for Hispanic Spanish-speaking people with diabetes through an online peer support community (OPSC) pilot intervention using Hispanic Spanish-speaking peer facilitators with diabetes to enhance the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for diabetes management.

Objective

This study aims to address gaps in diabetes care for Hispanic Spanish-speaking people with diabetes through an OPSC pilot intervention using Hispanic Spanish-speaking peer facilitators with diabetes to enhance the use of CGM for diabetes management.

Methods

A mixed-methods, pre-post test design will be used in this feasibility study. A total of 50 Hispanic participants with type 2 diabetes willing to wear a continuous glucose monitor for 13 weeks will be recruited. Hispanic Spanish-speaking peer facilitators with diabetes and experience wearing a continuous glucose monitor will be employed and undergo training. Peer facilitators will help participants learn how CGM data can inform behavior changes via an OPSC. Participants will interact with the private OPSC at least three times a week. Weekly questions and prompts derived from the Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists, previously American Association of Diabetes Educators, and seven self-care behaviors will be delivered by peer facilitators to engage participants. Measures of feasibility and acceptability will be determined by the percentage of participants who enroll, complete the study, and use CGM (number of scans) and objective metrics from the OPSC. Efficacy potential outcomes include change in time in range of 70 to 180 mg/dL from baseline to 12 weeks, A1c, diabetes online community engagement, self-efficacy, and quality of life. Additionally, semistructured exit interviews will be conducted.

Results

Funding for this project was secured in November 2018 and approved by the institutional review board in April 2019. Peer facilitator recruitment and training were undertaken in the second half of 2019, with participant recruitment and data collection conducted in January and April 2020. The study has now concluded.

Conclusions

This study will generate new evidence about the use of an OPSC for Hispanic Spanish-speaking patients with diabetes to make behavior changes incorporating feedback from CGM.
