Method: A total number of 18 young adults with developmental disabilities attending vocational training in a centre in Chennai were administered art therapy along with talk therapy, group therapy and family counselling.

Abstract: The Mauryan dynasty ended with the murder of last king Brihadratha by Pushyamitra. This incident has got mentioned in Harshacharita, a Sanskrit literary work. The work is of very late time. Historians have identified the murderer as founder of a new dynasty named the Shunga. It was told in the concerned source that last Mauryan king was killed due to his incapability and immoral character. Historians interpreted this as outburst of the Barhmin discontent. Though the identification of Pushyamitra is not acceptable by all, but most of them follow it. Pushyamitta has been.........

Design: A cross-sectional study. Materials and methods: A total of 400 unrelated normal individuals (200 Brahmins and 200 Muslims) representing males (100) and females (100) in each population were collected using ink-print method. The age of the subjects ranges from 10 to 40 years.

Abstract: The Circuit of Culture (the Circuit) was refined as a tool of cultural analysis by British Cultural theorists in the late 1990s. The Circuit emphasizes the five elements as moments of production, representation, consumption,regulation and identity, and the interrelated articulations of these moments. This tool is adopted to explore the multiple modes and relationships that are adopted to construct and establish the role of film industry as commodity to satisfy the desires and needs of the audience The film takes major role in informing and educating the mass regarding the cultural aspect of the society such as politics, economic, social, religion etc. The cultural of the society is based on this system which operates to establish social solidarity and harmony. Failures of any of this system will demoralises the entire society. The circuit of culture can be applied to understand the role of film as commodity is consumed by the audience. This article focuses on the application of........

Abstract: Globally, HIV-related deaths declined by 30% between 2005 and 2012 among children and adults. However, those among adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV) rose by 50%. This has been influenced by late diagnosis and poor adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART). Socio-demographic factors most often are beyond the control of ALHIV yet they may expose them to situations that influence adherence to ART. This study explored the relationship between gender, age, household background, institution of learning and orphanhood status and adherence among 15-19 year old ALHIV on second-line ART. Results showed that: female ALHIV were more adherent than male ALHIV irrespective of age; both day and boarding institutions of learning did not provide an enabling environment that supported adherence; age, ART status of primary caregiver and their relationship with ALHIV influenced adherence and finally double and maternal orphans exhibited poor adherence. Core was the interplay between these factors as discussed.

Abstract: University teaching has a great responsibility in preparing students for life in a rapidly changing world. The idea of creating a European space in higher education, which needs to be compatible and harmonized, poses daily the key issues of today's university, which are: how effective, flexible and competitive it is. These issues are directly related to the quality of teaching and learning, i.e., the quality of knowledge they acquire. In this context, the 2013 European Commission document titled Improving the Quality of Teaching and Learning in Europe's Higher Education Institutions is particularly significant, which points out that in the process of entering universities as well as during.....

Abstract: Data has become the most powerful thing in the world. People's personal life, their behaviour, politics, even sensitive issues like terrorism are touched by data. The only way to stop data - or those who control data - from controlling the entire human race is to guard people's right to privacy and bring together data protection laws. India is a nation with more than 1.25 billion people, all of whom are data-principals sharing their data with one data-fiduciary or the other. It has more than half billion internet users - now that internet is cheaper than ever - several startups have mushroomed, and given that India is the world's second largest market after China, the right to privacy and data-protection laws have become a necessity. Projects like Digital India, Make in India, and other technology and data-driven projects only make data protection even more important. This is something which even.......
