Teaching Narrative Interviewing: Reflecting, Narrating, and Becoming-In-Action
Authors: Bodily Brett , Colby Sherry
Published: February 2023

Qualitative inquiry teachers often seek powerful pedagogies to improve their students’ understandings. Using our experience leading a doctoral workshop, we share our method for teaching narrative interviewing using Schön’s (1983) “reflection-in-action,” meaning teachers and students reflect in the moment. We also root our pedagogy in Jerome Bruner’s (1986, 1990) narrative as a mode of thinking and a mode of being, a philosophy exploring the ways learners story their own and others’ lives. Describing our doctoral workshop, we highlight Laura, a recent graduate, narrating and becoming a qualitative inquirer. We conclude with a sample teaching lesson, designed to enhance students’ reflective research practices.
Epidemiological Study of Periodontal Changes in Children with Malocclusions from Oltenia Region, Romania
Authors: Țuculină Mihaela Jana
Published: February 2023

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of periodontal changes in children with malocclusions from Olt and Gorj Counties, Romania.

Materials and Method: In this research direction, we took into account: gender (male and female), the place of origin (rural and urban), the classes of maloccusions (according to Angle’s classification) and the existence or not of fixed orthodontic appliances. The study included a number of 4508 children, aged between 6 and 14 years. The data were collected from December 2019 to February 2020, based on the project „Educație pentru sănătate orală. Cercetări privind anomaliile dento-maxilare și leziunile odonto-parodontale la școlarii din Oltenia”, in which several institutions were involved. In order to perform complex statistical tests (Z-test for proportions, Chi-squared test), commands from the XLSTAT module were used. The study was interrupted before it was completed due to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak.

Results: We noted that there is a highly significant difference (p<0.001) between the presence of periodontal changes in children treated with fixed orthodontic appliances (88.36%), respectively without orthodontic treatments (12.37%). Also, we found that there is a highly significant difference (p<0.001) between the presence of changes in the periodontium in children with malocclusions (29.9%), respectively without malocclusions (4.92%).

Conclusion: After this research, we concluded that are differences between the presence of periodontal changes in children undergoing treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances, respectively without orthodontic treatments and also between the presence of periodontal changes in children with maloccusions, respectively without malocclusions.
Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency: A Case Report at the Mother and Child Center of the Chantal Biya Foundation
Authors: Makowa Laura Kuate
Published: February 2023

Introduction: Exocrine pancreatic pathologies are rare conditions in children. Their diagnosis should be evoked and systematically sought in any child presenting with severe acute or chronic abdominal pain, malnutrition and steatorrhea. The management is complex and may be multidisciplinary over the long term.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 7-month-old infant referred for unexplained malnutrition. Born macrosomic, since the age of 6 weeks he had been vomiting and not gaining weight. Then the progressive appearance of steatorrhea and a malabsorption syndrome led to acute malnutrition. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency was demonstrated with low lipase and the patient was taken care of. Treatment consisted of oral administration of pancreatic enzymes and nutritional rehabilitation. Significant and favorable evolution was noted as early as within two weeks from treatment initiation.

Conclusion: Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI) is a rare but severe condition in pediatrics. The etiological diagnosis is often linked with genetic diseases, and so not always obvious in our context. However, clinical evaluation and complementary examinations may serve as diagnostic guidelines. Management is palliative and allows rapid improvement of the patient as early as within two weeks from start.

Authors:   School of Business Management, Institut Teknologi Bandung, Ngadiman Agrippina , Belgiawan Prawira Fajarindra ,   School of Business Management, Institut Teknologi Bandung
Published: February 2023

Jenderal Kopi is one of the restaurants in Bandung that focuses on Indonesian coffee. After the pandemic subsided, based on data from the official website of the West Java local government, there was a phenomenon with the emergence of new restaurants/cafes and coffee shops in Bandung, which posed a threat to Jenderal Kopi. Based on internal data and information from management, Jenderal Kopi is also facing problems related to sales and the number of guests, which are stagnant and tend to decline in 2022 compared to 2021, when the Covid-19 pandemic was at its peak. After conducting an in-depth interview with one of the owners of Jenderal Kopi, Jenderal Kopi has a significant asset that can be utilized, namely the Probatone 25 kg roasting machine. Probatone is a market leader in the coffee machine industry. This sophisticated machine has met industry standards and can do large quantities of production, and has advantages compared to other brands of coffee roasting machines. In this paper, the author conducts qualitative research by conducting preliminary surveys and in-depth interviews with various parties as a new potential market segment for Jenderal Kopi to accomplish sales with a Business to Business (B2B) mechanism because previously, Jenderal Kopi only did Business to Consumer (B2C) sales. The author also analyzes the factors that influence the buying interest of the potential new market for Jenderal Kopi. The analysis was conducted internally using: Segmenting, targeting and positioning, Marketing mix, VRIO Framework and Business Model Canvas, and external analysis consisting of Porter 5 forces, PESTEL analysis, Competitor analysis and Consumer analysis. As a result of the author’s research, Jenderal Kopi still has a potential market in the B2B sector and needs from several business sectors to fulfill roasted beans in their operations/activities: hotels, restaurants/cafes/coffee shops, and political parties. In the end, after discussing again with one of the owners of Jenderal Kopi, the new segment chosen for the B2B market was the hotel industry with consideration of the large and sustainable number of orders. In conclusion, Jenderal Kopi needs to take several steps and adjustments for marketing its new sales mechanism as a solution to get additional sales by maximizing the use of existing assets. With these other sales, it is expected that Jenderal Kopi can continue to compete with new entrants in the same industry.

Published: February 2023

This study examinesthe factors affecting tourist experience expectations in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. A survey questionnaire and focus group discussion were used to gather data from tourists visiting the region. This study was conducted through a cross-sectional survey using purposeful sampling (n=200). Multivariable linear regression analysis techniques and moderator regression were applied to prove the proposed hypotheses. The results of the study revealed that psychological factors, such as motivation and perception, were also identified as important determinants of experience expectations. Socio-cultural factors, such as cultural values and norms, were found to play a role in shaping experience expectations, while economic factors, such as budget and exchange rate, were found to be critical in determining experience expectations. Environmental factors, such as climate and environmental quality, were also found to have a significant impact on experience expectations. The findings of this study contribute to our understanding of the factors influencing tourist experience expectations and have implications for tourism stakeholders in the Central Highlands of Vietnam.
Impaction of Racism and Nepotism in Nation Building
Authors:   Teeside University, Lartey Solomon
Published: February 2023

Racism and nepotism can negatively impact nation building by creating divisions and inequalities within a society. Racism can lead to discrimination and marginalization of certain groups, which can lead to social unrest and a lack of trust in government institutions. Nepotism, where individuals are favored based on their connections rather than their qualifications, can lead to corruption and a lack of accountability, which can also undermine trust in government institutions. Both racism and nepotism can also prevent the most qualified and capable individuals from rising to leadership positions, which can impede a nation's ability to develop and progress.

The purpose of this study was to design and develop a model for Iranian women's professional sports. This study adopted a qualitative approach with the grounded theory for data analysis. A semi-structured interview was used to collect data. 14 sports managers and sport’s marketing experts in Iran, aged between 28 to 69, were interviewed. MAXQDA pro 12.3 software was used for the three stages of open, axial, and selective coding. 296 open codes and 49 general concepts were identified which were classified into 28 main categories. Finally, the findings were classified into 9 factors as the main categories in the selective coding. The research findings identified “marketing hegemony in Iranian women's professional sports” as a central phenomenon. It is necessary to note relevant causal, context, and intervening conditions when applying the proposed strategies of research, action and reaction between the mentioned factors. Additionally, the socio-cultural conditions of Iran and the existence of beliefs and ideas of the governments and religious leaders' thoughts should be taken into account when applying the proposed model.

Distribution and abundance of marine mammals in the coastal waters of British Columbia, Canada
Authors: Williams Rob , Thomas Len
Published: February 2023

Information on animal distribution and abundance is integral to wildlife conservation and management. However abundance estimates have not been available for many cetacean species inhabiting the coastal waters of Canada’s Pacific coast, including those species that were heavily depleted by commercial whaling. Systematic sightings surveys were conducted in the inshore coastal waters of the Inside Passage, between the British Columbia (BC)-Washington and the BC-Alaska borders. A total of 4,400km (2,400 n.miles) of trackline were surveyed in the summers of 2004 and 2005. Abundance estimates (with 95% confidence intervals) assuming certain trackline detection for seven cetacean species were as follows: harbour porpoise, 9,120 (4,210-19,760); Dall’s porpoise, 4,910 (2,700-8,940); Pacific white-sided dolphin, 25,900 (12,900-52,100); humpback whale, 1,310 (755-2,280); fin whale, 496 (201-1,220); common minke whale, 388 (222-680); and ‘northern resident’ killer whale, 161 (45-574). The potential for responsive movement to have affected the accuracy and precision of these estimates is difficult to assess in small-boat surveys. However, the analyses were designed to minimise this factor in the most obvious case (Pacific white-sided dolphins) and pilot data collection has begun to assess the magnitude of the effect and to calculate correction factors for other species. The density of harbour seals, both along the shoreline and at sea, was calculated and it was estimated that total abundance of harbour seals in the study area was at least 19,400 (14,900-25,200). These are new abundance estimates for this region for all cetacean species except killer whales. The small sample size makes the killer whale estimate tenuous, but one worth noting, as it is close to the known number of northern resident killer whales (2004 census was 219 animals, Cetacean Research Program, Pacific Biological Station, Fisheries and Oceans Canada). The common minke whale abundance estimate is similarly tentative, however the results do reveal that common minke whales were relatively rare in this region. While the majority of harbour seals were found as expected in the southern straits and in the mainland inlets, a substantial number of animals were on the north coast and in the Queen Charlotte Basin as well. These data provide a systematic snapshot of summertime distribution and abundance of marine mammals in the Queen Charlotte Basin, where offshore oil and gas development and seismic surveys for geophysical research have been proposed to take place. Similarly, the abundance estimates could be used to form the basis of a simulation exercise to assess the sustainability of observed levels of incidental bycatch of small cetaceans in commercial fisheries. The results described here provide a useful reference point to which future survey data can be compared.
Chukotka Peninsula counts and estimates of the number of migrating bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus)
Authors: Melnikov Vladimir V. , Zeh Judith E.
Published: February 2023

In May and June 2000-01, shore-based counts of migrating bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) were conducted from Cape Pe’ek on the Chukotka Peninsula, Russia. These counts, designed to permit estimation of the number of whales migrating past Cape Pe’ek from midMay to mid-June, were similar to those of bowhead whales migrating past Barrow, Alaska and of gray whales migrating past Granite Canyon, near Monterey, California, except that no experiments designed for estimating detection probabilities P were conducted at Cape Pe’ek. Under the assumption that P=1 (all whales passing during watch with acceptable visibility conditions were seen), the estimated number of migrating bowheads was 430 (CV 22%) in 2000 and 558 (CV 31%) in 2001. The weighted geometric mean of these estimates is 470 with 95% confidence interval 332-665. If P was assumed to be similar to the detection probabilities estimated from the Barrow bowhead count or the Granite Canyon gray whale count, the weighted geometric mean estimate was approximately twice as large. Of at least 94 bowhead whales seen from Cape Pe’ek in June of 2001, at most one could have been among those counted by the survey near Barrow that year.
Status and distribution of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in northern Luzon, Philippines
Authors: Acebes Jo Marie V. , Darling J. D. , Yamaguchi Manami
Published: February 2023

Since the verification of the occurrence of humpback whales in the Babuyan Islands, Philippines in 1999, studies have been carried out on their status and distribution. Boat-based surveys of the waters around the islands were conducted from 2000-03. In 2003, a survey was also conducted off the eastern coast of Northern Sierra Madre. Once the whales were sighted, the location, group composition and behaviour were noted, fluke photo-identifications taken, sloughed skin and biopsy samples collected and songs recorded. A total of 367 humpback whale sightings were documented in four seasons around the Babuyan Islands. However, a cow-calf pair sighting off the coast of Northern Sierra Madre indicates that this breeding area may extend farther south. A total of 69 individuals have been photo-identified from 1999- 2003. Re-sightings across years are as follows: one individual was sighted for three consecutive years (2001-03); two individuals for two consecutive years (2001-02 and 2002-03); while three individuals were sighted in two different years (1999 and 2002; 2001 and 2003). Twelve of the 40 individuals photo-identified in the Philippines from 1999-2002 were matched to humpback whales identified in Ogasawara and Okinawa, Japan, including one whale that moved between these regions in one season. These matches indicate that the Philippine humpback whales are part of this greater western Pacific population. A subjective comparison between humpback whale songs recorded in the Philippines and Hawaii in 2002 indicated marked similarities. A total of nine distinctive themes were identified; seven of these were common to songs from both regions. The similarity in songs suggests humpback whales in the Philippines mix to some degree, at least acoustically, with the whales in Hawaii and the rest of the Pacific basin.
Patterns of genetic variation in Southern Hemisphere blue whales and the use of assignment test to detect mixing on the feeding grounds
Authors: LeDuc R. G. , Dizon A. E. , Goto M. , Pastene L. A. , Kato H. , Nishiwaki S. , LeDuc C. A. , Brownell R. L.
Published: February 2023

A total of 111 samples from Southern Hemisphere blue whales were sequenced for 420 base pairs of the mitochondrial control region and all but one of those were genotyped over seven microsatellite loci. Comparisons were made between samples from three broad geographic regions: the southeast Pacific Ocean; Indian Ocean; and around the Antarctic continent. Each of these strata was found to be highly differentiated from the others, in both mitochondrial and nuclear data. The genetic differentiation between the geographic ranges of the nominal subspecies (i.e. true blue whales in Antarctica vs. pygmy blues in Pacific and Indian Oceans) was not markedly greater than between the populations of pygmy blue whales. Assignment tests using the microsatellite data provide some insight into detection of feeding-season mixing, although existing methods have some limitations.
Sighting history and observations of southern right whales following satellite tagging off South Africa
Authors: Best Peter B. , Mate Bruce
Published: February 2023

In September 2001, satellite tags were deployed on 21 southern right whales (Eubalaena australis) in South African coastal waters, including eight cows accompanied by newborn calves. To date there have been 26 re-sightings of 11 of these individuals (or their calves) at intervals of 27-1,502 days. So far, 85.7% of the females with calves have been re-sighted with a second calf, at intervals comparable to those that the same individuals showed before tagging. All tags seem to have been shed between 27 and 36 months of tagging. Superficial and remote examination of wound sites indicated the frequent formation of divots with accompanying scarring and cyamids, but little sign of localised (and none of regional) swelling.
A note on movements of two fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) tracked by satellite telemetry from the Faroe Islands in 2001
Authors: Mikkelsen Bjarni , Bloch Dorete , Heide-Jørgensen Mads Peter
Published: February 2023

In August 2001, two fin whales were tagged with satellite linked radio transmitters 90km east of the Faroe Islands (62°N, 7°W). One whale that was tracked for 48 days resided on the Faroe shelf inside the 500m depth contour, with movements ranging within 190km from the tagging site. Another whale that was tracked for 116 days moved south to 46°N, 21°W, i.e. the same latitude as the Bay of Biscay, during the first 16 days of the tracking, which corresponds to a straight line distance of 2,830km. After residing at this latitude for three weeks, it moved northeast again, during two weeks, to an area north-west of Ireland. For the following two month period, it mainly moved within 54-58°N, at depths of 1,000-2,500m. A total of 132 positions were received from the two whales, most of relatively low accuracy, but still applicable for depicting large scale movements.
Use of videogrammetry to estimate length to provide population demographics of dwarf minke whales in the northern Great Barrier Reef
Authors: Dunstan A. , Sobtzick S. , Birtles A. , Arnold P.
Published: February 2023

Commercial swim-with-whale programmes, based on the dwarf minke whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata), have been conducted in Great Barrier Reef waters since 1996 and under permit since 2003. Evaluating the effectiveness of management requires information on the biology of the whales, including possible impacts on their critical life stages, such as mating or calving. In this study, length measurements have been used as the best available proxy for age and thus state of sexual maturity. Underwater videogrammetry was used to estimate the lengths of dwarf minke whales interacting with boats and swimmers during June/July 2003 and 2004. The calibrations used to correct systematic biases in distance and length estimates are presented and other sources of error associated with the methodology and the behaviour of the whales are discussed. Mean lengths (from replicate measurements of individually identified whales) ranged 4.82-6.61m in 2003 (n=23, from five encounters) and 4.48-7.18m in 2004 (n=56, from 29 encounters). The overall mean length (2003: 5.90m; 2004: 5.73m) did not differ significantly between years. In both years, the mean lengths of the majority of whales (2003: 57%; 2004: 59%) were less than 6m, which is regarded as sexually immature based on available life history data. The size ranges within a single encounter were broad; no encounter was dominated by one size class. Segregation by size was not observed. This paper presents the first field measurements of dwarf minke whales on their tropical wintering grounds. While most whales interacting with vessels or swimmers were immature, adult whales, including cow-calf pairs, also were involved. More information, especially on cumulative effects, is needed to assess the impact of these swim-with programmes.
Mindful Communication for Asian Development: A Buddhist Approach
Authors: Senarath Sugath
Published: February 2023

Most of research in communication are western centric. Even Asian scholars are also under the influence of western centric theories of communication rather than finding their own traditional philosophical knowledge roots. There is a debate on de-westernizing of communication theories. However, we cannot keep western theories away from us but balancing of East and West is acceptable for the development of Asian research and scholarship. It is important to free oneself from colonial-mindset of the scholars. This paper examines an Asian approach to communication arguing for new thinking in social science theory with input from Asia. This new approach can be called Mindful Communication. This Mindful communication is based on Buddhist phenomenology implicit in Theravada Buddhism

Purpose: Hypertension is known to cause changes in the LV that impact negatively on the LA both structurally and functionally posing clinically significant risk to patients. LA size assessment until recently was limited to determination of LA linear diameter and much has not been elucidated with respect to left atrial volume (indices) and cardiac indices as surrogates for LA and cardiac function. It is therefore important to see how LA indices (size, linear diameter and volume) cardiac indices relate to LV diastolic function among hypertensive subjects. To compare left atria indices with left ventricular function/dysfunction among hypertensive

Methodology: It is an echocardiographic based descriptive cross-sectional study. A total of 200 hypertensive patients were recruited from the cardiology clinics using systematic sampling method.

Results: Majority of the cases had isolated diastolic dysfunction n=149 (74.5%), thirty-six (18%) had normal diastolic and systolic functions while 7.5% had combined systolic and diastolic dysfunction (n=15). Left atrial maximum volume correlated significantly with E/E Prime (P= 0.003) and E/A Ratio (P= 0.003). While Left atrial pre-A wave volume (P=0.025), Left atrial diameter did not correlate with IVRT, E/E’, E/A ratio. Among the hypertensive patient’s E/E’ significantly correlated positively with all phasic LA volumes compared to E/A ratio. LV mass independently predicted all LA phasic volumes

Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: The study will create opportunity for clinician and policy makers to adopt measures to prevent progression into overt heart disease or failure

Finansal Durum ve Ticari Hayat ile İlgili Söylemlerin Cuma Hutbelerindeki Yeri
Authors: KAVAS Yusuf Bahadır
Published: February 2023

Milyonlarca kişinin aynı zaman diliminde bir araya geldiği ve dinlediği düşünüldüğünde cuma hutbelerinin önemi daha çok ortaya çıkmaktadır. Cuma hutbesinin amacına ulaşmasında konu seçimi ve hutbede gerçekleştirilen söylemlerin önemli bir rol oynadığı açıktır. Bu çalışmada; Ocak 2014-Temmuz 2022 yılları arasında yayımlanan 451 Cuma hutbesinde toplumun tamamını ilgilendiren ticari hayat ve finansal durum ile ilgili söylemlerin hangi aralıklarla kendisine yer bulduğu analiz edilmektedir. Finansal durum ve ticari hayatı daha fazla açıklayacağı düşünülen faiz, ticaret, alışveriş, borç-alacak ilişkisi, vergi, rüşvet, hırsızlık, hile, tüketim kelimelerinin yıllar itibari ile frekans analizleri yapılmış ve Cuma hutbelerindeki yer alan söylemler incelenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular ışığında faiz, ticaret, alışveriş, borç-alacak ilişkisi, vergi, rüşvet, hırsızlık, hile, tüketim kelimelerinin toplamda 61 farklı hutbede 96 kez geçtiği tespit edilmiştir. Ancak bu kelimelerin en sık bahsedildiği yılların 2018 ve 2019 olduğu görülmektedir. Bu iki yılda toplam 42 kez bu kavramlar geçmektedir. Bahsi geçen yılların neredeyse yarısını (%44) bu iki yıl oluşturmaktadır. Finansal durum ve ticari hayat ile ilgili kelimelerden ticaret kelimesi 22 kez, alışveriş 14 kez, tüketim ve hile kelimeleri ise 13’er kez Cuma hutbesinde geçmektedir. En az bahsedilenlere bakıldığında rüşvet ve vergi kelimelerinin yer aldığı görülmektedir. Finansal durumu en iyi açıklayacak sözcük olan ve dinimizce yasaklanan faiz kelimesinin 2017 ve 2020 yıllarındaki hutbelerde toplamda 10 kez geçtiği tespit edilmiştir. Bu hutbelerden yalnızca üçünde ana konu faizdir. Benzer şekilde 451 adet hutbenin yalnızca ikisinde vergi ödevi ve vergi kaçakçılığına kısaca değinildiği tespit edilmiştir. Finansal durum ve ticari hayata dair kavramlara Cuma hutbelerinde bazı yıllarda daha fazla bahsedildiği tespit edilmekle birlikte yine de her yıl itibariyle yeterince değinilmediği görülmektedir.

Published: February 2023

Increased internet and cell phone use over the past 20 years has altered how people communicate and conduct business. E-commerce is a new idea and a game changer for businesses everywhere. The e-commerce industry is predicted to develop at a 41% CAGR in India, surpassing USD 103 billion by 2020. The key factors encouraging the expansion of the e-commerce business are the rising use of the internet and smartphones. Favourable demographics and a rising internet user population also contributed to this increase. According to analysis, India is adding three new internet users every second, and by 2020 it expects to have 320 million online buyers, up from approximately 50 million in 2015. It demonstrates how quickly young minds and blood in India are moving toward embracing new technologies. E-commerce expenditure made up 2% of all retail spending in 2015–16 and has grown to be a major force in the development of new markets. By 2020, it is projected to contribute to 4% of the GDP. Its growth is being accelerated by government programs like Make in India, Digital India, Skill India, Start-up India, and Cashless India. However, the rapid expansion of the e-commerce sector and the use of the internet came with several difficulties that needed to be addressed periodically. This paper tries to study the socioeconomic externalities of the e-commerce industry in India considering its current and projected trends. This paper will provide a policy prescription on how government support programs can help the e-commerce sector expand while raising the positive externalities and keeping negative externalities at bay.

भारतात ब्रिटिशांचे आगमन होईपर्यंत भारतीय शिक्षणाचे स्वरुप हे प्रामुख्याने पारंपारिक व धार्मिक स्वरुपाचे होते. भारतातील बहुसंख्य हिंदू धर्मीयांचे शिक्षण हे पारंपारिक पाठशाळांमधून होत असे तर मुस्लिम धर्मीयांसाठी मदरशांमधून शिक्षण दिले जाई. हिंदू धर्मात ब्राम्हणांची शिक्षणावर मक्तेदारी होती. प्रामुख्याने संस्कृत भाषेमधून शिक्षण दिले जाई. मुस्लिम मदरशांतील शिक्षण हे अरबी भाषेत दिले जाई. संस्कृत आणि अरबी या भाषा सामान्य लोकांमध्ये बोलल्या जात नव्हत्या. या काळातील शिक्षण हे पारंपारिक पध्दतीचे होते. ब्रिटिश भारतात आल्यानंतर भारतीय षिक्षण पध्दतीचे वास्तव त्यांच्या लक्षात आले. विल्यम कॅरी या ख्रिश्चन मिषनÚयाने बंगाल व मद्रास प्रांतात प्रथम इंग्रजी शाळा स्थापन केली.’ आणि खÚया अर्थाने इंग्रजी शिक्षणाचा पाया भारतात घातला गेला.
ब्रिटिश सŸाा भारतात स्थिरावल्यानंतर त्यांनी भारतात अनेक प्रकारच्या सुधारणा घडवून आणण्यास प्रारंभ केला. इंग्रजी शिक्षणाचा प्रसार हा त्यांचाच एक भाग होता. मुळात ब्रिटिशांनी भारतात शिक्षणाचा सुरू केलेला प्रसार हा भारतीय लोकंाना सज्ञान करणे, शहाणे करणे, त्यांच्यातील मागासलेपणा दूर करणे यासाठी अजिबात नव्हता. भारतीय लोकंाविषयी ब्रिटिशांना सहानुभूती वाटत होती म्हणूनही नव्हता. तर ब्रिटिशांचे साम्राज्य भारतात अधिक बळकट व्हावे, ते भक्कम पायावर उभे रहावे यासाठी ब्रिटिशांना हवा असलेला नोकरदारांचा, कामगारांचा पुरवठा करण्यासाठी शिक्षण ही त्यांना गरजेची बाब होती. म्हणून भारतात ठिकठिकाणी इंग्रजी शाळा सुरू करण्याचे, किंबहुना शिक्षणाचा प्रसार करण्याचे काम ब्रिटिशांनी केले.
ब्रिटिशांनीपाश्चात्य शिक्षणावर भर दिला. मात्र इंग्रजी शिक्षण घेऊन बाहेर पडलेल्या भारतीय तरुणांना जेव्हा इंग्लंड मधील लोकषाही शासनप्रणालीचा परिचय झाला तेव्हापासून इंग्रजांच्या भारतीय साम्राज्यवादाविषयी त्यांच्या मनामध्ये तिरस्कार निर्माण होण्यास प्रारंभ झाला.
1839 ला कुलाबा संस्थान ब्रिटिश साम्राज्यात विलिन झाल्यानंतर ठिकठिकाणी शिक्षणाचा प्रसार होण्यास प्रारंभ झाला. 1840 मध्ये महाड येथे पहिली देशी शाळा सुरू झाली. ख्रिश्चन मिशनरी, खाजगी शिक्षणसंस्था अथवा सरकार यांनी केलेल्या शिक्षणाच्या प्रसारातून आधुनिक शिक्षणाची कवाडे सामान्यांना खुली झाली.

" No Language is ever in a static condition, it always changes and grows " असे म्हटले जाते. कोणतीही भाषा एका विशिष्ट अवस्थेत कायमची राहू शकत नाही. तिच्यात नेहमी बदल घडून येत असतो. म्हणूनच ' भाषा ही एक प्रवाही अशी सामाजिक संस्था आहे. परिवर्तन हा तिचा स्वभाव आहे ' असे म्हटले जाते. कालमान परिस्थितीनुसार तिच्यात बदल होत जातात. हे बदल, दोन स्वरुपातील परिवर्तन, भाषेतील उच्चार, ध्वनी परिवर्तन, वर्णप्रक्रिया, प्रत्ययांची नवी भर...... अशा बदलांचा समावेश आंतरिक पातळीवरील बदल केला जातो. हे बदल आपोआप घडत असतात. भाषेतील हे परिवर्तन मूलगामी असते. बाह्य स्वरुपातील बदलामध्ये दुसऱ्या भाषेच्या संपर्कामुळे भाषेत जे नवीन शब्द येतात, शब्दांचे जे अर्थ बदलतात त्यांचा समावेश होतो, भाषे - मध्ये असे जे दोन्ही प्रकारचे बदल होतात त्याचे महत्वाचे कारण म्हणजे एका भाषेचा दुसऱ्या भाषेशी संपर्क येणे होय. असा संपर्क ज्यावेळी येतो त्यावेळी दोन्ही भाषेत आदान प्रदान प्रक्रिया होत असते. विशेष करून भाषांमधील पारिभाषिक शब्द यांची मोठ्या प्रमाणात आदान प्रदान होत असते.सामाजिक स्थित्यंतरामुळे अनेक नवीन गोष्टी, कल्पना, वस्तू यांच्याशी लोकांचा संबंध येतो. ती वस्तू सामान्यतः परकीय असते. अशा वेळी अट्टाहासाने त्याला पर्यायी शब्द तयार केला जातो तो शब्द रुढ होईलच असे सांगता येत नाही. कदाचित यात उच्चारसौकर्य नसेल किंवा अन्य कोणतेही कारण असेल त्यामुळे मूळ परकीय शब्द आहे तसा स्वीकारावा असे या दुसऱ्या मार्गाची मागणी आहे. उदा. ' मेक - अप ' हा शब्द घ्या. याला अट्टाहासाने दुसरा मराठी शब्द निर्माण करावयाचा म्हटल्यास ' चेहेन्याची रंगरंगोटी ' हा पर्यायी शब्द मान्य करावा लागेल, पण इथे ' रंगरंगोटी ' हा शब्द इमारतीशी निगडीत असल्याने योग्य वाटत नाही. अशा वेळी ' मेक - अप ' हा शब्द स्वीकारणे योग्य वाटते. असे अनेक शब्द फार्सी, उर्दू, कानडी, तामीळ, तेलगु इ.. भाषेतून स्वीकारले आहेत. प्रत्येक परकीय शब्दासाठी दुसरा पर्यायी मराठी शब्द तयार करणे केवळ अशक्य आहे. उदा. ' सिमल ' या शब्दासाठी ' अग्नीरथ आवक जावक दर्शविणारा लोह - ताम्र पट्टिका ' हा शब्द कधी तरी रुढ होईल का ? त्यामुळे असे अनेक शब्द मराठीत रुढ झाले आहेत. त्यासाठी एक तर परिभाषा तयार केलेली नाही. अन् तयार केली असली तरी लोकांनी ती न स्वीकारता मूळ भाषेतील शब्द आहेत तसे स्वीकारले उदा. कंपास, टेबल, दुकान ( मराठी शब्द भांडार ), बँक, चेक, रेल्वे, बाजार ( मराठी पारिभाषीक शब्द विपणी ), इंजीन, पाईप, स्क्रू, फ्लॅट, माईक, डॉक्टर, नर्स, ड्रेसींग, सिमेंट, ब्रेक, टायर, हॉर्न, स्टेअरिंग, कार्ड, मनीऑर्डर, पोस्ट इ... मराठी भाषेवर देखील विविध भाषांचा प्रभाव दिसून येतो यामध्ये प्रामुख्याने द्राविडी फारसी हिंदी आणि इंग्रजी या प्रमुख भाषांचा उल्लेख करावा लागेल.

As world population increases as day by day and to fulfill the need of food commodities, it is need to be applying the integral practices to enhance the soil fertility by improving the physical and chemical properties. In present study was done on, ‘Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on Physical and Chemical Properties of Soil’. A field experiment was conducted in rabi 2005-2006 on experimental farm of department of ACSS, MAU, Parbhani to study, "Integrated nutrient management for Phaseolus Vulgaris (Rajma).Lowest bulk density of soil was observed due to application of only vermicompost. Wherever the highest bulk density was observed when only inorganic fertilizers were applied. Maximum water holding capacity of soil and porosity was recorded where vermicompost @ 5 tonnes ha-1 only was applied. Maximum water holding capacity was where 5 tonnes of vermicompost ha-1 with biofertilizers were applied. Maximum water holding capacity may be due to high organic carbon content resulting in soil aggregation. While these characters of soil were recorded minimum when only inorganic fertilizers were applied. The minimum porosity i.e., 48.60 per cent was recorded where 150% RDF of NPK/ha was applied through inorganic fertilizers. Soil pH and EC where highest only inorganic fertilizers were applied. The lowest pH and EC were recorded due to use of vermicompost only. The per cent organic carbon was highest in the soil where only vermicompost was applied only, whereas the lowest organic carbon was observed due to application of inorganic fertilizers.
