Abstract:

Annie Besant was arguably the most famous, or rather infamous, woman of her age. For much of the 1870s and 1880s she promoted the secularist cause with remarkable vigour. She became a vice- president of the National Secular Society, the members of which thought almost as highly of her as they did of Charles Bradlaugh, the president. In 1889, however, she joined the Theosophical Society in a sensational move that shocked even her closest friends. Eventually she became president of the Theosophical Society, the members of which again revered her almost as much as they did its prophet, Madame Blavatsky. Besant moved from the materialist atheism of the secularists to the New Age thought of the theosophists. All of her previous biographers have emphasised the contrast between these two sets of beliefs. They have been unable to recover any coherence in her activities within the secularist, Fabian and theosophical movements. Indeed, they have spoken of her many lives, as though she wandered aimlessly, if enthusiastically, from cause to cause with no guiding theme whatsoever. When they do look for a pattern in her life, they typically turn not to her reasons for doing what she did, but rather to her hidden needs, such as to follow a dominant man or to exercise her powers. They turn to her emotional make-up to explain her final flight from reason, and they then explain her earlier commitments by reference to the emotions they have uncovered. In contrast, I hope to represent Besant's life as a reasoned quest for truth in the context of the Victorian crisis of faith and the social concerns it helped to raise. Besant, with her secularism, Fabianism and theosophy, was very much of her time, for whilst the early part of Queen Victoria's reign was shaped by a religious movement to make Britain a truly Christian nation and a political movement to make Britain a democratic nation, the later part of her reign took its shape from the need to find both a faith capable of surviving the rationalist onslaught and solutions to the social problems an extended franchise had failed to solve.

Abstract:

Résumé Les objets mentionnés (outils, vètements, armes, meubles, etc.) ne sont pas les simples éléments du décor; ils jouent un rôle dans le récit. Ils peuvent servir de marqueurs, indiquant la catégorie socio-professionelle ou le niveau de fortune. Ils contribuent à la théatralisation en rendant les gestes plus réels et plus faciles à visualiser. Enfin un objet réel ou fictif se trouve parfois au coeur de l'action soit que les héros s'en disputent la possesion (les braies), soit qu'il serve de support à quelque machination (le cuvier, le besant dans Les trois aveugles).

Abstract:

The article considers the prerequisites for the creation of the concept of «space education» in the pedagogical system of M. Montessori. The necessity of its introduction into the work practice of preschool institutions of Ukraine is argued. The 21st century education paradigm is aimed at finding such an education system that would teach a person to live and act in accordance with the universal laws of Nature and the Cosmos. The versions of the researchers of the life and scientific work of the Italian teacher are presented regarding the time frame of the appearance of the term «space education», the formation and generalization of the material, which took shape in a separate educational course. The meaning of the concept of «space education» is revealed. It was found out that the work on the formation of the theory took place in stages and lasted for a long time. The influence of the Indian period of M. Montessori's life on the formation of her philosophical and pedagogical views in the last years of her life was studied. The closeness of the ideas and worldview of M. Montessori with the representatives of the Indian intelligentsia of those times – J. Arundale, A. Besant, M. Gandhi, J. Nehru, R. Tagore is traced. They admired her method, were like-minded and belonged to the Theosophical Society, which, as it turned out, actively helped M. Montessori during his stay in India. Attention is focused on a detailed analysis of the philosophical and pedagogical views of A. Besant, M. Gandhi, and R. Tagore. Three conditions are named that contributed to the creation of the concept of «space education» during his stay in India. The indisputable role of Mario Montessori's son and Lena Wickramaratne's student in creating a class of children of various ages (6-12 years old), selection and production of didactic materials, implementation of Maria Montessori's theory of «space education» in practice is emphasized. The publication outlines a topic that needs further research. Key words: M. Montessori's method, humanistic pedagogy, theosophy, cosmic education, preschool age, Indian period.

Abstract:

The beach litter survey of the selected beaches of Tamilnadu viz. Marina, (lat 13°055’N and long 80°28’E), Besant nagar (lat 12°99’N, long 80°27E) and Thiruvanmiyur (lat 12°97’N and long 80°26´E) were done in the year 2014. Beach litter survey was done mainly to quantify as well as to know the distribution pattern of different types of litter in all the selected beaches surveyed. The different types of litters surveyed in the year 2014 from Jan-Dec includes nylon/ HDP ropes/fishnet pieces (A), plastics covers, sachets, containers of creams, oil, ointments(B), chappals, foot wear (other than leather items)(C), glass bottles, electric bulbs, CFL bulbs (source of Hg) (D), waste (TV, Computer hard- wares, mobile phone handsets charges)(E) and Thermo col, PUF insulators of AC/Fridge, Styrofoam, etc. (F). Among the total litter distribution item C, chappals, footwear (other than leather items) is the highest (4000g/m2) followed by item B, plastics covers, sachets containers of creams, ointments, oil, (2525 g/m2), item F, thermocol, PUF insulators of AC/Fridge, stryrofoam, (1310g/m2), item D, glass bottles, electric bulbs, CFL bulbs (sources of Hg), (1125g/m2) and item A, nylon, HDP ropes and fishnet pieces, 1075 g/m2. In Marina Beach, in post monsoon season (Jan’14 to Mar’14) the item C is more than in A followed by B,D,F and E in summer season(Apr’14 to June’14) the litter distribution is more in C followed by F, B, D, A & E. In pre monsoon season (July’14 to Sep’14) the item B is more followed by C, F, A, D and E in monsoon season, (Oct’ 14 to Dec’14) the item B is followed by F,C, A, E and D. In Besant nagar beach in post monsoon season, (Jan’14 to Mar’14) the item C is more followed by D, A, B, F and E in summer season (April’ 14 to June’14) the item C is more followed by B,F,A,D and E in pre monsoon season, the item B is more followed by C,F,A,D and E in monsoon season, the item F is followed by B, A, C, D and E. In Thiruvanmiyur beach in post monsoon season(Jan’14 to Mar’14) the item C is more followed by B, A, F, D and E, in summer season, (Apr’14 to June’ 14) the item B is more followed by C,F,A,D and E in pre monsoon season, (July’14 to Sep’14) the item B is more followed by F,A,D,C and E in monsoon season, (Oct’14 to Dec’14) the item D is more followed by B,C,F, A and E. In marina beach, the PCA analysis of the beach litter for 12 consecutive months showed that the 2 components extracted had a variance of 49.02% with an eigen value of 2.45 and 25.63%, cumulative variance of 74.65% with an eigen value of 1.28. In Besant nagar beach, the PCA analysis showed that the 2 components extracted had a variance of 43.51% with an eigen value of 2.18 and 32.73% with an eigen value of 1.64 and the cumulative variance of 76.23%. In Thiruvanmiyur beach, the 2 PCA components extracted had a variance of 55.51% with an eigen value of 2.78 and 30.58% with an eigen value of 1.53 and the cumulative variance of 86.09%.

Abstract:

Resumen La publicación de una serie de manuales teosóficos a finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX sobre cuestiones tan novedosas como la tipología de las formas del pensamiento y lo referente a la composición cromática del concepto del aura, supuso para numerosos creadores vanguardistas la apertura de nuevas posibilidades experimentales. En este sentido, algunas de las propuestas pictóricas de Wassily Kandinsky, Theo van Doesburg y František Kupka, entre otros, se podrían interpretar como permutaciones cromáticas a partir de la estipulación teórica que generaron especialmente los teósofos C.W. Leadbeater y Annie Besant. Sin realizar una traslación mimética de las diferentes conjeturas planteadas en las creencias de esta escuela de pensamiento hermético, dichos artistas se embarcaron en la proyección de nuevas oportunidades experimentales a la vez que se sustentaban en la validación de un corpus teórico que justificaba la práctica abstracta en relación con un entramado de mayor acercamiento espiritual.

Abstract:

It has been noted elsewhere that an idea is acknowledged to be creative if it is novel, or surprising and adaptive. So how does that fit with education's desire to measure student performance against fixed, consistent and predicted learning outcomes? This study explores practical measures and theoretical constructs that address the dearth of teaching, learning and assessment strategies to enhance creative capacity in enterprise and entrepreneurship education. It is argued that inappropriate assessment strategies can be significant inhibitors of the creativity of students and teachers. Referring to the broader discipline of ‘design’, as defined by Bruce and Besant (2002) – the application of human creativity to a purpose – both broad employer satisfaction with education and fast growing economic success are found (DCMS, 2014). As predictable assessment outcomes equal predictable students, these understandings can inform educators who wish to map and develop enhanced creative endeavours such as opportunity recognition, communication and innovation.

Abstract:

Caste system has remained an integral part of the Hindu social order. It has served to provide the uniqueness and the complexity to the latter. During colonial period as well as in the postcolonial period, it has been the most sought after issue. The colonial encounter added a new narrative to this system, as has been argued by the scholars such as Nicholas Dirks. However, apart from colonial officials, the non-official leaders of the ruling country also played an important role in the making of the present-day construct of the caste system. Annie Besant was one such leader, who came to India in 1893 as a leader of the Theosophical Society. She endorsed and extolled the caste system of the land as the best social structure this world has ever had. In this article, I attempt to throw light on Besant’s reading of the caste system and her role in strengthening the roots of this system.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article deals with the life and work of the early twentieth-century British modernist composers Cyril Scott and John Foulds, in the context of British national music and ‘imperial culture’ at large. Through a discussion of their Theosophical spirituality, Indian musical exoticism, and modernist aesthetics (for all of which they became outsiders to the British music establishment), it tentatively investigates their ideas as part of an ‘alternative’ ideological cluster, which equally influenced British ‘imperial culture’. Furthermore, it discusses the role of Theosophists (such as Annie Besant, Margaret Cousins, and Rukmini Devi) in Indian nationalism and the making of modern South Indian music. This situates the cases of Scott and Foulds within Theosophy as a global movement, and illustrates how cosmopolitan radicalism, Western self-questioning, modernist aesthetics, and anti-establishment thinking linked up with the emergence of non-Western anti-imperial nationalism through an intricate network of personal relationships in metropolis and colony.

Abstract:

This article discusses the theosophy of Vera Hjelt (1857–1947), who was inspired by Annie Besant. Hjelt led an active life as a schoolteacher, factory owner, writer, occupational safety inspector and member of parliament. Hjelt experienced a theosophic-al awakening at the latest during the summer of 1894, after which her theosophical endeavours in Besant’s spirit and in imitation of her are revealed in Hjelt’s letters to her friend Cely Mechelin. These letters have not previously been used in scholarly study. The article argues that it is not possible to understand the underlying ethos behind Hjelt’s activities without considering her esotericism. In the worldwide unity of all creations, all bad deeds done to one were done to all. Thus it was essential to improve the working conditions of women in factories, for instance. When Hjelt experienced difficulties in her position as an inspector during the Voikka strike, and became an object of hatred amongst the workers against all her wishes, she was comforted by her theosophical thinking. This article for its part shows the many ways in which Western esotericism exerted an influence on late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Finnish culture, politics and policy making.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE The aim of the study is to analyze the prevalence of dental visits within the last year in the Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance System or BRFSS by the simple sociodemographic factors among the adults in 10 different areas of Chennai, Tamil Nadu. METHODS Cross sectional telephone survey (Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance System) conducted among 500 adults. Data was collected based on a standardized questionnaire to determine the distribution of risk behaviours and health practices among non-institutionalized adults. A multivariable logistic regression model considers the complex sample design of the BRFSS was used to predict the prevalence of dental visits based on four non-clinic parsimonious variables. RESULTS Results showed that the adults with the High household income, Religion (Hindu), High Education(> High School Diploma), and marital status were associated with an annual dental visit with the odd ratios of 0.943, 1.161, 1.243, 0.876 respectively. Besant Nagar had the highest percentage (13%) of estimated annual users, while Redhills had the lowest percentage(8%). CONCLUSION Health promotion organizations, Local governments, Insurance companies, and organizations that administer public health programs will benefit by applying this model to the available nonclinical databases, and will be able to improve planning of dental health services and required dental workforce.

Abstract:

The London premieres of Henrik Ibsen’s plays in the late 1880s and 1890s sparked strong reactions both of admiration and disgust. This controversy, I suggest, was largely focused on national identity and artistic cosmopolitanism. While Ibsen’s English supporters viewed him as a leader of a new international theatrical movement, detractors dismissed him as an obscure writer from a primitive, marginal nation. This essay examines the ways in which these competing assessments were reflected in the English adaptations, parodies, and sequels of Ibsen’s plays that were written and published during the final decades of the nineteenth century, texts by Henry Herman and Henry Arthur Jones, Walter Besant, Bernard Shaw, Eleanor Marx and Israel Zangwill, and F. Anstey (Thomas Anstey Guthrie). These rewritings tended to respond to Ibsen’s foreignness in one of three ways: Either to assimilate the plays’ settings, characters, and values into normative Englishness; to exaggerate their exoticism (generally in combination with a suggestion of moral danger); or to keep their Norwegian settings and depict those settings (along with characters and ideas) as ordinary and familiar. Through their varying responses to Ibsen’s Norwegian origin, I suggest, these adaptations offered a uniquely practical and concrete medium for articulating ideas about the ways in which art shapes both national identity and the international community.

Abstract:

History says that Mahakavi Bharathiyar composed most of his works before his prison life. Each of his creations evokes different energies in our souls, because it is filled with philosophical thoughts that are necessary for all times. Bharathiyar migrated to Pudhuchery from Chennai on August 26th, 1908. He plans to return to Chennai after staying there for some time. At that time, wise men like Aurobindo, Va.Ve.Su. Iyer, and Bharathidhasan pointed out the extraordinary situation of the country and left without listening to it. On November 20, 1918, Bharathi reached Tamil Nadu again. He was arrested and imprisoned before reaching Cuddalore. Bharathiyar was imprisoned for 25 days as prisoner number 253. At that time, with the efforts of Sudeshamitharan Rangasamy Iyengar, C.P. Ramasamy Iyer, and Anni Besant Ammaiyar, he was released on the 14th of December. It can be said that those 25 days passed as if Bharathi was in prison, so his thoughts were not confined, and the works he created took shape in such a setting. It should be considered for a moment that he has spoken about ideas that have lasted for centuries while he lived for only '39' years. The purpose of this review article is to base this on the future youth society to take it and act as vigorous.

Abstract:

The end of the nineteenth century in Britain saw a range of “newnesses”; New Unionism signified a boom in trade unionism, while the New Woman figure symbolized women's struggle for independence. However, both as literary figures and as real-life writers, such New Women were largely middle class and educated. Where are the working women within the sphere of literary and cultural production, and how are they represented within the New Unionism? Against a dominant trade unionism that argued for a “family wage” and considered women's organizing as a threat, the Women's Trade Union League (1874), the National Federation of Women Workers (1906), the 1888 Match Girls strike, and writers and labor activists such as Annie Besant and Clementina Black noted women's roles within labor. Attempting to locate a working New Woman in the trade union movement, this paper is a reflective work-in-progress, an exploration rather than a finished argument. Written by a precariously employed woman trade unionist in the twenty-first century, struggling to find time to write, examining the works of precariously employed women workers one hundred years earlier, the essay poses questions about what happens to politically engaged scholarship in a time of increasingly precarious working conditions and knowledges.

Abstract:

We present the results of a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of the normal impact of hydrophobic spheres on a water surface. Particular attention is given to characterizing the shape of the resulting air cavity in the low Bond number limit, where cavity collapse is driven principally by surface tension rather than gravity. A parameter study reveals the dependence of the cavity structure on the governing dimensionless groups. A theoretical description based on the solution to the Rayleigh–Besant problem is developed to describe the evolution of the cavity shape and yields an analytical solution for the pinch-off time in the zero Bond number limit. The sphere's depth at cavity pinch-off is also computed in the low Weber number, quasi-static limit. Theoretical predictions compare favourably with our experimental observations in the low Bond number regime, and also yield new insight into the high Bond number regime considered by previous investigators. Discrepancies are rationalized in terms of the assumed form of the velocity field and neglect of the longitudinal component of curvature, which together preclude an accurate description of the cavity for depths less than the capillary length. Finally, we present a theoretical model for the evolution of the splash curtain formed at high Weber number and couple it with the underlying cavity dynamics.

Abstract:

As the widely application of composite honeycomb structure in aircraft Structural Significant Items(SSI) and other structures, the damage assessment and repair scheme because of the impact and other damages have become one of the most concerned issues in the civil aircraft composite structures. In view of the progressive damage assessment of composite honeycomb structure and it's adhesively scarf repair parameter influence, the finite element model based on honeycomb core equivalent model and 3D solid units C3D8 and zero thickness cohesive force unit COH3D8 is established. A special USDFLD program is developed with FORTRAN for ABAQUAS using 3D Hashin criterion Besant criterion and B-K criterion to realize the damage simulation of composite panels, honeycomb cores and adhesive. The relationships between the structural strength recovery rate and the repair parameters such as patch oblique angle, extra layers layup angle and extra layers thickness are studied for the perforation injured honeycomb structure. The results show that the decrease in the patch oblique angle leading to an increase in the internal shear stress of the adhesive, the increase in the angle between the extra layers of the patch and the external load, and the increase in the thickness of the extra layers causing stress concentration and premature instability at the lap edge, will significantly reduce the strength recovery rate of the repaired honeycomb structure. The perfect patch form with 1:10 cut oblique angle and only one extra layer of 0° layup angle is concluded, which achieves the optimal strength recovery effectiveness, reaching 95.72% of the non-damaged honeycomb structure.

Abstract:

Education was essential to the success of the independence movement in India because it acted as a driving force behind social transformation and a wellspring of individual agency. Education, at its foundation, produced a feeling of national awareness and togetherness among a variety of groups, overcoming boundaries of geographical distinction and language barrier. Education's ability to cultivate moral and ethical values, which were essential for a successful struggle for independence, was recognised by visionaries such as Mahatma Gandhi, who recognised the power of education in mobilising the masses. Gandhi emphasised the role that education played in cultivating these values. Universities and other more traditional educational institutions, such schools and schools, have evolved into hubs of intellectual conversation and political action. They made it possible for influential people like Jawaharlal Nehru and Subhas Chandra Bose to communicate their aspirations for a free India and rally popular support by providing forums on which they could do so. Education also educated citizens with critical thinking abilities, which enabled them to challenge oppressive colonial laws and argue for their rights. Education also enabled individuals to advocate for their rights. Women, who had been marginalised for a long time, were given the power via education to participate in the independence struggle in important ways. Leaders such as Sarojini Naidu and Annie Besant were not only educated in their own right, but they also advocated for the education of women and encouraged other women to play an active part in the fight for independence.

Abstract:

The history of Indian Freedom Struggle would be incomplete without mentioning the contribution of women. The sacrifice made by the women of India will occupy the foremost place. They fought with true spirit and undaunted courage and faced various tortures, exploitations and hardships to earn us freedom. When most of the men freedom fighters were in prison the women came forward and took charge of the struggle. The list of great women whose names have gone down in history for their dedication and undying devotion to the service of India is a long one. Woman's participation in India's freedom struggle began as early as in1817. Bhima Bai Holkar fought bravely against the British colonel Malcolm and defeated him in guerilla warfare. Many women including Rani Channama of Kittur, Rani Begum Hazrat Mahal of Avadh fought against British East India company in the 19th century; 30 years before the “First War of Independence 1857” The role played by women in the War of Independence (the Great Revolt) of 1857 was creditable and invited the admiration even leaders of the Revolt. Rani of Ramgarh, Rani Jindan Kaur, Rani Tace Bai, Baiza Bai, Chauhan Rani, Tapasvini Maharani daringly led their troops into the battlefield. Rani Lakshmi Bai of Jhansi whose heroism and superb leadership laid an outstanding example of real patriotism .Indian women who joined the national movement belonged to educated and liberal families, as well as those from the rural areas and from all walk of life, all castes, religions and communities. Sarojini Naidu, Kasturba Gandhi, Vijayalakmi Pundit and Annie Besant in the 20th century are the names which are remembered even today for their singular contribution both in battlefield and in political field.

Abstract:

In 1882, Walter Besant declared that the hinterland beyond Aldgate had two million people yet “no institutions of their own to speak of, no public buildings of any importance, no municipality, no gentry, no carriages, no soldiers, no picture-galleries, no theatres, no opera—they have nothing.” The fact that Whitechapel first appeared in the theatrical annals in 1557, Stepney contained several of the largest engineering projects in Regency London, and Shoreditch's Britannia was one of the most successful theatres in Victorian Britain belies the prejudice in Besant's statement. Cultural historians of all types need to resist such propaganda and have good cause to suspect the entire record of life, leisure, and entertainment in the industrialized inner suburbs. The history of nineteenth-century English theatre has—with very few exceptions—focussed on London, yet apart from essays by Michael Booth and Clive Barker little serious attention has been paid to theatre in the East End. Booth points out the limitations arising from scholarship that ignores the area where half of the metropolitan theatre seats were located, while Barker shows the methodological difficulties that arise once a redressive investigation into the audience is undertaken. The omissions from the historical record are compounded by narrow selectivity of enquiries: leading performers receive scholarly attention while supernumeraries (supers), ballet dancers, front of house staff, property makers, and the many functionaries who made up the whole community responsible for running a theatre are consistently neglected. These characteristics are somehow more evident in scholarship on the East End, where no matter how sociogeographically biased the enquirers may be the working class and its conditions are central themes, and the repertoire has always been allowed (perhaps stereotyped) as sensational.
