This book explores the concept of disability through a social, political, cultural, religious, and economics lens. It challenges the categorization of ‘physically-disabled’ produced by way of legal, medical, political, cultural, and literary narratives that comprise an exclusionary discourse.The volume discusses themes like disability and identity politics; disability and the western epistemology; disability in India; disability and the Indian English fiction and Hindi cinema to question the embodied hegemony of ‘norms’ and their effects in the construction and history of societies. It analyses select literary and cinematic texts like Trying to Grow, Fireproof, and Animal’s People; and movies, Black and Lafangey Parindey to critically examine the representation of disabled people as freak, monstrous and animal. The book also makes policy recommendations for inclusive education and work norms for disabled people.This book will be beneficial for scholars and researchers of disability studies, cultural studies, film studies, and English literature.

The Lexicon of Disability Studies seeks to expand and articulate the conceptual landscape of Disability studies for both scholars and practitioners, addressing some of the most critical debates of our era. These include issues like disease, pain, euthanasia, public transportation accessibility, aesthetics, and deformity.This volume explores a range of critical concepts, such as 'alienation, ' 'audism, ' 'divyaang, ' 'freak, ' 'identity, ' and 'stigma, ' among others. Rather than treating individual disabilities as standalone keywords, the essays delve into broader ideas that reflect the diverse social and bodily experiences associated with disability. The book examines disability as an embodied condition, a dynamic historical phenomenon, and a multifaceted social, political, and cultural identity.Serving as an invaluable resource for both students and scholars, The Lexicon of Disability Studies brings previously insular debates within Disability studies into broader critical conversations. It invites fresh theoretical insights into the field's fundamental assumptions from various disciplinary perspectives, making it a vital addition to contemporary discourse.

Brinjial (Solanum melongena L. ) or egg plant is one of them important vegetable crop of Asia, where more than 90 per cent of the world's production occurs. It is regarded as poor man's vegetable because of its high productivity, the various diseases the sclerotinia blight caused by Sclerotinia sclerotorum (Lib.) De Bary is an important disease which causes loss in quality and quantity of fruits of brinjal. Forty five germplasm of brinjal were screened sclerotinia blight under natural field condition following 0-4 rating scale 3 germplasms viz, BRLVAR-3, BRRVAR-1, BRRVAR-15 were found resistance against Sclerotinia blight. Five plant extracts viz., Garlic, Neem, Ocimum, Dhatura, Onion were tested in vivo against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum at 10 per cent and 15 per cent concentration. among which Onion was found best. The fungicides, botanicals were applied as foliar sprays at 15 days intervals with first spray at 75 after transplanting (DAT) and second sprays were given at 90 days after transplanting. among all treatments, Carbendazim-50 WP (0.1%) treatment was found best with maximum disease contr

O objetivo do presente trabalho preparar e caraterizar filmes de electr litos s lidos polim ricos dopados com iodeto de am nio e as suas aplica es no fabrico de C lulas Solares Sensibilizadas por Corante (DSSCs). Os tr s sistemas electrol ticos polim ricos, a saber, (1) lcool polivin lico (PVA) dopado com iodeto de am nio (NH4I), (2) polivinilpirrolidona (PVP) dopada com NH4I e (3) polimetacrilato de etilo (PEMA) dopado com NH4I, foram preparados, caracterizados e utilizados no fabrico de DSSCs nesta investiga o.

Lo scopo del presente lavoro quello di preparare e caratterizzare film di elettroliti solidi polimerici drogati con ioduro di ammonio e le loro applicazioni nella fabbricazione di celle solari sensibilizzate con coloranti (DSSC). I tre sistemi elettrolitici polimerici, ovvero (1) alcool polivinilico (PVA) drogato con ioduro di ammonio (NH4I), (2) pirolidone polivinilico (PVP) drogato con NH4I e (3) metacrilato polietilico (PEMA) drogato con NH4I, sono stati preparati, caratterizzati e utilizzati per la fabbricazione di DSSC.

Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Herstellung und Charakterisierung von mit Ammoniumiodid dotierten Polymer-Festk rperelektrolytfilmen und ihre Anwendung bei der Herstellung von Farbstoffsolarzellen (Dye Sensitized Solar Cells, DSSCs).

Hygienische Textilien und ein angenehmes Mikroklima sind die wichtigsten Voraussetzungen f r ein angenehmes und gesundes Leben des Menschen. Das Haupthindernis, das sich ihnen in den Weg stellt, sind Mikroorganismen, die dem Menschen durch die bertragung von Krankheiten und Infektionen Schaden zuf gen. Grunds tzlich werden zum Schutz des Tr gers und der textilen Substrate selbst werden die Textilien antibakteriell behandelt. Daher wurde Baumwollstoff mit Zimtschalenextrakt behandelt, um seine Wirksamkeit gegen antibakterielle Aktivit t zu bewerten & Waschen. W ssrige (kalte) Extrakte aus Zimtschalen wurden auf Baumwollgewebe aufgetragen, und die antibakterielle Aktivit t der behandelten Baumwollgewebe wurde vor und nach dem Waschen mit einer Standardtestmethode untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass die mit Zimtschalenextrakt behandelten Proben nach 24 Stunden der Inokulation in den gewaschenen Proben (ein Waschgang) eine gute Waschbest ndigkeit aufwiesen. Nach 24 Stunden nahm die antibakterielle Aktivit t allm hlich ab, je l nger die Inkubationszeit dauerte. Es ist jedoch erforderlich, die Stoffproben nach jedem Waschgang erneut zu behandeln.

I tessili igienici e un microambiente congeniale sono requisiti primari per gli esseri umani per vivere comodamente e in salute. L'ostacolo principale che si trova sulla loro strada il microrganismo che causa danni all'essere umano trasmettendo malattie e infezioni. Fondamentalmente, al fine di proteggere chi lo indossa e i substrati tessili stessi il trattamento antibatterico viene applicato ai materiali tessili. Pertanto, il tessuto di cotone stato trattato con l'estratto di bucce di kinnow per valutare la sua efficacia contro l'attivit antibatterica & lavaggio. Gli estratti acquosi (a freddo) preparati dalle bucce di kinnow sono stati applicati sul tessuto di cotone e l'attivit antibatterica dei tessuti di cotone trattati stata valutata prima e dopo il lavaggio utilizzando il metodo di prova standard. I risultati hanno rivelato che i campioni trattati con l'estratto di bucce di kinnow hanno mostrato una buona resistenza al lavaggio dopo 24 ore di inoculazione nei campioni lavati (un lavaggio). Dopo 24 ore, diminuita gradualmente l'attivit antibatterica con un aumento del periodo di incubazione. Tuttavia, necessario ritirare i campioni di tessuto dopo ogni lavaggio.

Os t xteis higi nicos e o microambiente agrad vel s o requisitos fundamentais para que os seres humanos possam viver confortavelmente e com sa de. O maior obst culo que se coloca no seu caminho s o os microorganismos que causam danos ao ser humano ao transmitirem doen as e infec es. Basicamente, com vista a proteger o utente e os pr prios substratos t xteisO tratamento antibacteriano aplicado aos materiais t xteis. Portanto, o tecido de algod o foi tratado com extrato de cascas de cinzas para avaliar a sua efic cia contra a atividade antibacteriana & lavagem. Os extractos aquosos (frios) preparados a partir das cascas de cinzas s o aplicados no tecido de algod o e a actividade antibacteriana dos tecidos de algod o tratados tamb m foi avaliada antes e depois da lavagem, utilizando o m todo de teste padr o. Os resultados revelaram que as cascas de cinzas das amostras tratadas demonstraram uma boa durabilidade de lavagem ap s 24 horas de inocula o em amostras lavadas (uma lavagem). Ap s 24 horas, diminuiu gradualmente a actividade antibacteriana com um aumento do per odo de incuba o. No entanto, necess rio retirar as amostras de tecido ap s cada lavagem.
