This research paper examines the patterns and presentations in Girish Karnad’s major plays. Girish Raghunath Karnad (19 May 1938-10 June 2019) was the foremost Kannada playwright of India. In addition to writing plays, he was also an actor, film director, and a Jnanpith awardee, who dominated in the fields of Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, and Marathi films. His ascent to prominence as a playwright in the 1960s signaled the advent of contemporary Indian playwriting in Kannada as Badal Sarkar, Vijay Tendulkar, and Mohan Rakesh did in Bengali, Marathi, and Hindi respectively. He used his intellectual power to use distilled themes from history, folktales, and myths. He is able to give identity to Indian art and culture in other countries. Tughlaq(1964), Yayati(1961), Hayavadana(1971), Hittina Hunja(1980), Nagamandala(1988), Tale-Danda(1990), Fire and the Rain(1995)

Entity representatives are useful in understanding the natural language tasks including the semantics of the Kannada sentences into various entities. In this paper, we have come up with new pertained tag based representative learning of words and entities based on the bidirectional parsing. The proposed research works on segmenting the sentences of Kannada words into various taken, where every token makes various contributions in understanding the semantics of Kannada Sentences which treats words and entities in a given text as independent tokens, and outputs tagged entities based on representative learning mechanism. The research also has focused its attention towards achieving the results of good classification accuracy while recognizing the entities are through the tagging mechanism that is an extension of the general self-tagging mechanism of the Supervised Machine Learning Technique, and considers the types of tokens (words or entities) when computing attention scores. The erected research work has given its significant contribution in terms of good results over a standard benchmark datasets. In particular, it obtains state-of-the-art results on five well-known datasets: Open Entity (entity typing), TACRED (relation classification), CoNLL-2003 (named entity recognition), ReCoRD (cloze-style question answering), and SQuAD 1.1 (extractive question answering) as well as Kannada Named Entity Recognition of Central Institute of Indian Languages.

Rasa is an aesthetic feeling aroused in the reader or spectator when he witnesses an effective presentation of art. Sage Bharata in ancient India pioneered and Abhinav Gupta elaborated the theory of Rasa. According to the Rasa Sutra, rasa nispattih is a result of the conjunction of vibhāva, anubhāva, and Vyābhicāribhāva, which appeals to the Sthāyibhāva and leads to rasa realization. Hayavadana is a two-act play, originally written in Kannada by Girish Karnad. He himself has translated the play Hayavadana in English. There are two stories, one is of two best friends, Kapila and Devadatta, and a lady named Padmini, another is about a horse headed man- in search of completeness. Author has used various dramatic techniques like, Narrator/ Sutradhar, Puppets, Use of masks, and subplots. Any literary work consists of Rasa in it. In this research paper, the researcher wishes to study Hayavadana in the light of Rasa Theory. This play has already been studied from different perspectives like myth, realism, identity crisis, portrayal of woman, and incompleteness. There is a scope to study this Indian work of art in English from the point of view of Indian Poetics, specifically Rasa Theory.

Image captioning is a growing topic of research in which numerous advancements have been made in the past few years. Deep learning methods have been used extensively for generating textual descriptions of image data. In addition, attention-based image captioning mechanisms have also been proposed, which give state-ofthe- art results in image captioning. However, many applications and analyses of these methodologies have not been made in the case of languages from the Indian subcontinent. This paper presents attention-based merge architecture models to achieve accurate captions of images in four Indian languages- Marathi, Kannada, Malayalam, and Tamil. The widely known Flickr8K dataset was used for this project. Pre-trained Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models and language decoder attention models were implemented, which serve as the components of the mergearchitecture proposed here. Finally, the accuracy of the generated captions was compared against the gold captions using Bilingual Evaluation Understudy (BLEU) as an evaluation metric. It was observed that the merge architectures consisting of InceptionV3 give the best results for the languages we test on, the scores discussed in the paper. Highest BLEU-1 scores obtained for each language were: 0.4939 for Marathi, 0.4557 for Kannada, 0.5082 for Malayalam, and 0.5201 for Tamil. Our proposed architectures gave much higher scores than other architectures implemented for these languages.

"India inherits a rich culture and heritage with vivid art forms such as music, dance, architecture, sculpture and painting. It is found from the history in India more than sixty-four forms of art have been identified and nurtured till date. Indian music has greater precedence in the world. Music in primitive days marked their beginning with natural language and sound. Music was considered a means for communicating the feelings and emotions. Thus, the natural way of expressing the music gave rise to folklore which imitated the daily activities through songs sung naturally in native language without support of any specific instruments. India being a county with diversified culture and language has more than 100 local languages for which many does not have scripts. Here an attempt is made to bring few such instances of folk songs describing various instances of daily life in the southern India (Karnataka). Kannada being the communicating language has various variants local to the region of living."

SUMMARY This paper discusses a pattern of change whereby present indicative forms of verbs develop into futures and subjunctives as a side effect of a grammati-calization change consisting in the creation of a new present indicative form from a looser progressive (or other aspectual) construction. It is shown that this change is attested in a wide variety of languages from different families, and that it often results in synchronically anomalous behavior of the resulting futures/subjunctives. What is particularly striking is the degree of similarity between the results of the change in languages as diverse as Kannada, Modern Hebrew, Lezgian and Welsh. RÉSUMÉ Dans cet article l'auteur traite d'un type de changement où les formes de l'indicatif présent des verbes en viennent à être utilisées comme futurs et comme subjonctifs. Selon l'auteur, ce serait là un effet secondaire que provoquerait la création d'une nouvelle forme de l'indicatif présent par la gram-maticalicalisation d'une ancienne tournure, moins liée, marquant l'aspect progressif (ou un autre aspect). L'auteur montre que ce changement s'est produit dans un grand nombre de langues provenant de familles distinctes, et qu'il en résulte souvent un comportement anormal, du point de vue synchronique, de la part de ces nouveaux futurs/subjonctifs. Ce qu'il y a de remarquablement frappant, c'est le degré de ressemblance qu'offrent les aboutissements de ce changement dans des langues aussi diverses que le kannada, l'hébreu moderne, le lezghien et le gallois. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG In diesem Aufsatz wird ein Sprachwandeltyp diskutiert, bei dem Präsens-Indikativ-Verbformen sich zu Futura und Subjunktiven entwickeln. Dieser Wandel ist eine Begleiterscheinung eines Grammatikalisierungswandels, der in der Schaffung einer neuen Präsens-Indikativ-Form aus einer loseren Pro-gressiv-Konstruktion besteht. Es wird gezeigt, dass diese Art der Verän-derung in den verschiedensten Sprachen belegt ist, und dass sie oft zu syn-chron anomalen Eigenschaften der entstehenden Futura/Subjunktiven fuhrt. Besonders frappierend ist der Grad der Àhnlichkeit zwischen den Ergebnis-sen dieses Sprachwandels in so verschiedenen Sprachen wie dem Kannada, dem modernen Hebräischen, dem Lesgischen und dem Walisischen.

Sentiment Analysis (SA) has been a core interest in the field of text mining research, dealing with computational processing of sentiments, views, and subjective nature of the text. Due to the availability of extensive web-based data in Indian languages such as Hindi, Marathi, Kannada, Tamil, and so on. It has become extremely significant to analyze this data and recover valuable and relevant information. Hindi being the first language of the majority of the population in India, SA in Hindi has turned out to be a critical task particularly for companies and government organizations. This research portrays a systematic review specifically in the field of Hindi SA. The major contribution of this article includes the categorization of numerous articles based on techniques that have attracted researchers in performing SA tasks in Hindi language. This survey classifies these state-of-the-art computational intelligence techniques into four major categories namely lexicon-based techniques, machine learning techniques, deep learning techniques, and hybrid techniques. It discusses the importance of these techniques based on different aspects such as their impact on the issues of SA, levels of analysis, and performance evaluation measures. The research puts forward a comprehensive overview of the majority of the work done in Hindi SA. This study will help researchers in finding out resources such as annotated datasets, linguistic resources, and lexical resources. This survey delivers some significant findings and presents overall future research directions in the field of Hindi SA.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Semantic parsing (SP) allows humans to leverage vast knowledge resources through natural interaction. However, parsers are mostly designed for and evaluated on English resources, such as CFQ (Keysers et al., 2020), the current standard benchmark based on English data generated from grammar rules and oriented towards Freebase, an outdated knowledge base. We propose a method for creating a multilingual, parallel dataset of question-query pairs, grounded in Wikidata. We introduce such a dataset, which we call Multilingual Compositional Wikidata Questions (MCWQ), and use it to analyze the compositional generalization of semantic parsers in Hebrew, Kannada, Chinese, and English. While within- language generalization is comparable across languages, experiments on zero-shot cross- lingual transfer demonstrate that cross-lingual compositional generalization fails, even with state-of-the-art pretrained multilingual encoders. Furthermore, our methodology, dataset, and results will facilitate future research on SP in more realistic and diverse settings than has been possible with existing resources.

Abstract The Karnataka African Indians (Siddis, Habshis and Cafrees), drawing on both Indian performing arts and their African heritage, use dance and street theatre for political action, entertainment, social critique and self-expression. This paper focuses on Siddi dance and theatre in Uttara Kannada (North Karnataka), South India. Karnataka Siddis number about twenty thousand (Prasad, 2005). Using dramatic aesthetics, performers portray farming, hunting, child labour, violence against women and domestic work motifs to articulate Siddi grundnorms (foundational norms). I address how some Siddi dances and street theatre parallel and yet may differ from other performing arts in South India. Further, the paper complicates the current discourse on how diasporic African communities use the performing arts. My paper goes beyond the Atlantic Diaspora model. It examines ways in which Siddis of South Asia use their dance and theatre to express multiple domains of cultural art forms alongside the everyday use of such performances including a counter-hegemonic stance.

Literature is considered to be an art form or writing that have Artistic or Intellectual value. Literature is a group of works produced by oral and written form. Literature shows the style of Human Expression. The word literature was derived from the Latin root word ‘Litertura / Litteratura’ which means “Letter or Handwriting”. Literature is culturally relative defined. Literature can be grouped through their Languages, Historical Period, Origin, Genre and Subject. The kinds of literature are Poems, Novels, Drama, Short Story and Prose. Fiction and Non-Fiction are their major classification. Some types of literature are Greek literature, Latin literature, German literature, African literature, Spanish literature, French literature, Indian literature, Irish literature and surplus. In this vast division, the researcher has picked out Indian English Literature. Indian literature is the literature used in Indian Subcontinent. The earliest Indian literary works were transmitted orally. The Sanskrit oral literature begins with the gatherings of sacred hymns called ‘Rig Veda’ in the period between 1500 - 1200 B.C. The classical Sanskrit literature was developed slowly in the earlier centuries of the first millennium. Kannada appeared in 9th century and Telugu in 11th century. Then, Marathi, Odiya and Bengali literatures appeared later. In the early 20th century, Hindi, Persian and Urdu literature begins to appear.

ABSTRACT Background Oral lesions have been reported to be the initial signs of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) infection. The main objective of the present study was to observe the prevalence of oral lesions among HIV/AIDS patients undergoing highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) attending the antiretroviral therapy (ART) center in Kasturba Medical College and Hospital, Mangalore, Dakshina Kannada, Karnataka, India. Materials and methods One hundred and eight HIV/AIDS positive patients were evaluated by a single examiner. Patients’ oral cavity was examined and the various oral manifestations detected were recorded. Results The most common extraoral manifestation was lipoatrophy, and intraorally, the most prevalent findings were intraoral pigmentation (42.6%) and candidiasis (27.8%). However, the prevalence of the most commonly associated lesions like Kaposi's sarcoma (1.9%) and linear gingival erythema (2.7%) was less. Conclusion Oral lesions are considered to be markers of progression of HIV into the final stage of AIDS. Advent of HAART has shown a significant reduction in the oral lesions and a better quality of life in patients with HIV.

Girish Karnad is a writer, dramatist, director and actor par excellence. He belongs to a generation that has produced Dharamveer Bharati, Mohan Rakesh and Vijay Tendulkar who have created a national theatre for modern India, which is the legacy of his generation. Jnanpitha Awardee, Karnad is the author of many well known plays in Kannada and English. He has represented Indian art and culture in foreign lands. Girish Karnad was a conscious writer, who had keenly observed cultural and political upheavals in India and brings in a new equation in his plays. In this paper, I propose to analyze the selected plays of Indian playwright Grirish Karnad who has experimented with the fusion of the traditional and the modern dramatic forms and content. Karnad is most famous as a playwright and his plays have become a byword for imagination, innovation and craftsmanship. In the subsequent years, Karnad continued to post script narratives, interpreting for us histories and myths, forging an idiom of writing that was tethered to both the past and present. Karnad's practice of drawing source from myths and tales lends the play an immediacy of appeal. This paper thus studies Karnad's selected plays from the point of view of themes and techniques. While doing so, the focus will mainly be on the history and myth in his dramatic works-Karnad's journey from his first drama 'Yayati holds a mirror to the very evolution of a truly 'Indian theatre.'

Full textAbstract:
In this study, we evaluate and compare two different approaches for multilingual phone recognition in code-switched and non-code-switched scenarios. First approach is a front-end Language Identification (LID)-switched to a monolingual phone recognizer (LID-Mono), trained individually on each of the languages present in multilingual dataset. In the second approach, a common multilingual phone-set derived from the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcription of the multilingual dataset is used to develop a Multilingual Phone Recognition System (Multi-PRS). The bilingual code-switching experiments are conducted using Kannada and Urdu languages. In the first approach, LID is performed using the state-of-the-art i-vectors. Both monolingual and multilingual phone recognition systems are trained using Deep Neural Networks. The performance of LID-Mono and Multi-PRS approaches are compared and analysed in detail. It is found that the performance of Multi-PRS approach is superior compared to more conventional LID-Mono approach in both code-switched and non-code-switched scenarios. For code-switched speech, the effect of length of segments (that are used to perform LID) on the performance of LID-Mono system is studied by varying the window size from 500 ms to 5.0 s, and full utterance. The LID-Mono approach heavily depends on the accuracy of the LID system and the LID errors cannot be recovered. But, the Multi-PRS system by virtue of not having to do a front-end LID switching and designed based on the common multilingual phone-set derived from several languages, is not constrained by the accuracy of the LID system, and hence performs effectively on code-switched and non-code-switched speech, offering low Phone Error Rates than the LID-Mono system.

This paper presents a novel approach to facilitate Malayalam speech-to-text transcription and subsequent translation into English text. The proposed system leverages advancements in speech recognition, natural language processing, and machine translation techniques. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach through a practical implementation and evaluation. Introduction: The ability to accurately transcribe spoken language and translate it into other languages has numerous applications in today's digital world. However, the development of such systems for languages with complex structures, such as Malayalam, presents unique challenges. In this paper, we propose a solution to address these challenges by combining state-of-the-art technologies in speech recognition and machine translation. Literature Review: Previous studies have explored various approaches to speech-to-text transcription and machine translation. However, few have focused specifically on the Malayalam language. Existing systems often struggle with accurately transcribing and translating Malayalam due to its complex morphology and syntax. Methodology: Our approach consists of several key steps: Speech Recognition : We employ the SpeechRecognition library to transcribe spoken Malayalam into text. Text Preprocessing: The transcribed text undergoes preprocessing, including tokenization and normalization, using the IndicNLP library. Translation: The preprocessed text is translated into English using a custom-built translation model implemented with CTranslate2 and SentencePiece. Results: We evaluated our system using a dataset of spoken Malayalam sentences. The system achieved a high accuracy in speech recognition and produced fluent translations into English. Discussion: Our results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of our approach in accurately transcribing and translating spoken Malayalam. However, certain challenges remain, such as handling dialectal variations and improving translation quality for complex sentences. Conclusion: In conclusion, we have presented a novel approach to Malayalam speech-to-text transcription and text-to-English translation. Our system shows promising results and opens up possibilities for further research and development in this area. References: [1] S. K. Sheshadri, B. S. Bharath, A. H. N. S. C. Sarvani, P. R. V. B.

Full textAbstract:
In the former South Kanara or south coastal Karnataka region, the presence of overlapping languages, mainly Tulu and Kannada, posed prolonged dilemmas in the nineteenth century for the Basel Mission. The choice of language was important for their evangelical work, supported by important language-related activities such as dictionary making, grammar writing and translations. Since language use was intertwined with caste hierarchy, this raised issues over the position of lower castes, mainly Billavas, for the native elites and upper castes. This article argues that the prioritisation of Kannada, and relegation of Tulu to a secondary position, was an outcome not only of missionary perceptions of the larger Kannada context, but also more importantly can be traced back to elite representations regarding the subaltern Tulu culture and lifeworld. As missionary intervention in education and native language use challenged the status quo of social hierarchy among local communities, this sparked efforts by the native elites to reclaim and restore the earlier hierarchy. In the process, the native elite representations of Tulu language and culture became at the same time an effort at dismissal and appropriation.

Dengue is one of the rapidly spreading mosquito-borne diseases transmitted worldwide by the bites of infected Stegomyia aegypti and St. albopicta mosquito. Both species are adapted for human habitation and breeds mainly in temporary water bodies. In the present study, a preliminary larval survey was carriedout in four different localities of Dakshina Kannada District. Of the 1094 suspected water bodies, 496 sites showed the presence of St. albopicta larvae and none of them showed the presence of St. aegypti indicating the dominance of the former species. The occurrence of St. albopicta was significantly higher in natural phytotelmata compared to artificial containers. Among the different breeding sites, receptacles contributed 24.5% of larval positivity. The receptacles also showed a higher breeding preference ratio (1.56) indicating that abandoned waste thrashes when receives water may act as the most preferred breeding sites for dengue vector species.

Full textAbstract:
This paper is concerned with the nature of ‘front’ along the front/back axis. The languages taken up for the study are Bengali, a language belonging to Indo-Aryan language family, and Kannada, a language belonging to Dravidian language family. The terms for denoting ‘front’ for Bengali are ‘samne’ and ‘aage’ and for Kannada are ‘yeduru’ and ‘munde.’ Experience and embodiment of spatial arrangements play an important role in the spatial cognition, and language use takes into account the different points of view. Many factors such as proximity, vantage point, specificity, etc. play an important role in describing a given situation. It is worth mentioning that the choice of the usages of the words for denoting ‘front’ as location or direction has been seen as different in some situations and overlapping in others. The data were collected using a questionnaire which aimed to elicit the expressions for ‘front’ for the entities, whose relationship is described in terms of Figure and Ground (Talmy 1983, 2000), from the speakers of both the above-mentioned languages, and then analysed for the factors involved.

Full textAbstract:
Vocal expression is the most common approach to understand emotions in speech. There are various types of emotional expression that every human experience, but happiness, sad, fear, questioning was found to be most experienced by humans in day-to-day conversation. Perception of these emotions is much necessary to understand the feelings and interpret the speaker’s emotional status and intend of communication. Various researchers have reported aging led to a deterioration on emotional perception, and some researchers have also reported emotion is relatively unaffected by aging or even improves with age contradictorily. In spoken language, intonation caters diverse linguistic and paralinguistic functions. It is important to identify how healthy adults interpret emotions expressed in their native language. Hence, the present study was carried out to investigate the perception of emotion in sentences by Kannada speaking healthy adults aged between 30 to 60 years. Participants were divided into three groups based on a decade interval consisting of 15 males and 15 females in each group respectively. Five different emotions were considered and instructed the participant to identify the emotions heard presented aurally and report it on a response sheet. The analysis of those perceived emotions showed no age and gender effects in decoding emotions from speech act. Key words: Perceiving emotions, Emotion Perception, Emotion expression, Vocal emotion, Sentence emotion

Silapathikaram was created by Ilango Adigal. The speciality of silapathikaram is, it is the first epic created in tamil language. Silapathikaram presents literature, music and drama(muthamizh) and thereby bringing to light the pride of Tamil language. As characters of Silapathikaram got into a lot of discussions, a doubt arises whether the characters got famous through the epic or, the epic got famous due to the characters. For instance, the chastity of Kannagi and Madhavi has been compared and subjected to many debates. Madhavi is considered to be a crucial character in Silapathikaram. Madhavi belongs to kanigayar community. She has learnt the art of dance for seven years. She has also learnt to play a musical instrument called ‘yazh’. She has written two letters, thereby Silapathikaram exposed her art skills and literary knowledge. It is also known that women of kanigayar community learnt many art skills, thus exposing the literary, musical, and art skills of Tamil people.

Full textAbstract:
Kokoustamisesta on tullut työelämämme uusi megatrendi, ja virtuaaliset kokoukset ovat yleistyneet, kuten myös niihin liittyvä tutkimus. Tässä kirjallisuuskatsauksessa jäsennetään virtuaalikokoustutkimuskenttää ja vedetään yhteen erityisesti koronapandemian aikana saatuja tutkimustuloksia virtuaalikokousten, työhyvinvoinnin ja tuottavuuden välisistä yhteyksistä. Katsauksen mukaan hallittu virtuaalikokousten käyttö on yhteydessä parempaan työhyvinvointiin. Tämä tarkoittaa esimerkiksi, että työntekijöiden on voitava vaikuttaa kokousten ajankohtaan. Myös kokousten kestoa, videokameran käyttöä ja mikrofonin käyttöä on rajoitettava. Virtuaalisuudesta johtuva kognitiivisen kuorman lisääntyminen aiheuttaa niin sanottua Zoom-väsymystä, mutta esimerkiksi osallistujien yhteenkuuluvuuden tunne vähentää väsymystä. Alustavasti virtuaalikokouksista on koettu olevan hyötyä henkilöstön pysyvyyden, työn tuottavuuden, innovatiivisuuden sekä ympäristörasituksen vähenemisen kannalta. Toisaalta virtuaalikokoukset vaikeuttavat työn koordinoimista, konfliktien käsittelyä, henkilöstön kehittämistä ja luottamuksen rakentamista. Organisaatioilta vaaditaankin kypsyyttä ja suunnitelmallisuutta virtuaalikokouksien mahdollisuuksien hyödyntämiseksi. Virtuaalikokouksien seurauksia koskeva tutkimus on vielä alkuvaiheessa, ja erityisesti voimavara- ja motivaatiopsykologiselle työhyvinvointitutkimukselle sekä tuottavuus tutkimukselle on tarvetta. Lisäksi vain harvat tutkimukset ovat käsitelleet kokouksia kiinteässä yhteydessä kulloiseenkin työkontekstiin tai pyrkineet määrittelemään virtuaalikokouksen luonnetta.

The problem long-faced by the researchers is that the instances of signs vary with each motion and look. Thus, during this paper a completely unique approach for recognizing varied alphabets of Kannada linguistic communication is projected wherever continuous video sequences of the signs are thought of. The system includes of three stages: Preprocessing stage, Feature Extraction and Classification. Preprocessing stage includes skin filtering, bar histogram matching. Eigen values and Eigen Vectors were thought of for feature extraction stage and at last Eigen value weighted Euclidean distance is employed to acknowledge the sign. It deals with vacant hands, so permitting the user to act with the system in natural manner. We have got thought of completely different alphabets within the video sequences and earned a hit rate of 95.25%.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Rustom Bharucha's Theatre of the World (Routledge, 1993), sections of which first appeared in New Theatre Quarterly, was a major intervention in the debate about the nature and ethics of interculturalism – an unfortunate side-effect being that he has, by his own wry admission, now been ‘academicized as Peter Brook's Other’, a category he finds both offensive and redundant. The following article extends his explorations by developing a careful and pertinent distinction between interculturalism and intraculturalism – a distinction derived from practice rather than theory, specifically from his experience directing an Indian production of Peer Gynt, performed in Kannada as Gundegowdana Charitre. Rustom Bharucha explores the implications of ‘translating’ such a classic text across and within cultures as well as languages – and the further paradox of this being, as for most of us, a process of transmission through English rather than Norwegian. He sums up the nature of the challenge as ‘to negotiate different selves, cultures, histories, and languages through the labyrinth of multiple Others’.

Full textAbstract:
A robot is a machine that has been programmed by a computer and has external or embedded control over its movements and activities. It has a wide range of applications in all aspects of life. A robot can be employed as an attender in a university setting to distribute circulars around instead of numerous people doing it manually, which is a costly and time-consuming method.
The unfamiliar campus might be challenging for parents to navigate. In this review paper, we focus on a voice-based attender robot with line-following skills and speech-to-text recognition that may be utilized for several tasks at universities, such as passing out circulars, engaging with parents, and assisting them with navigation. The goal of this work is to create a robot that can communicate with humans using Spoken Natural Language. Two languages will be highlighted here: English and Kannada. This system employs a module that recognizes human speech, which is then processed and used to act or respond to the user's order. In this fashion, the voice-activated attender robot can be used in a university setting. However, it is not confined to universities. It can also be used in locations such as train stations, bus stops, large factories, and other similar settings.

Full textAbstract:
Literary writings such as poetry, drama or novel in colonial India manifest themselves into, react or subscribe to the larger discourse of colonialism or nationalism; rarely do they hold uniformity in their articulations. As colonial experiences and larger nationalist consciousness varied from region to region, cultural articulations—chiefly dramas—not only assumed different forms but also illustrated different thematic concerns. Yet, studies on colonial drama, thus far, have paid attention to either colonialism/orientalism or nationalism. There is a greater focus on British India in such studies. However, the case of princely states demands a momentary sidestep from the dichotomy of colonialism versus nationalism to understand the colonial dramas. The slow and gradual entry of nationalism in the princely states did not have to combat the British chiefly and directly. Much before its full blossom in the princely states, it had to grapple with a range of issues such as monarchy, democratic institutions, constitutionalism, bureaucracy and other pressing issues locally. In the present article, the Kannada dramas of Devanahalli Venkataramanaiah Gundappa (DVG) in the early decades of the twentieth century are examined to throw light on the ways in which they act as political allegories which imagine and debate democracy and its repercussions in the social and political spheres of the Mysore princely state.

Background: One of the key components of national rural health mission was to create a band of female health volunteers, appropriately named “accredited social health activist” (ASHA) in each village within the identified States to act as a bridge between the rural people and health services outlets. They act as health activists in community who will create awareness on health and its determinants, counsel mothers on key healthy behaviors and mobilize the community towards local health planning and increased utilization and accountability of the existing health services. Objectives of the study was to describe the socio-demographic profile of ASHAs working in Vijayapur district and to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, practice of ASHAs towards the maternal care.Methods: A cross-sectional study on 617 ASHAs of Vijayapur district. A pre-designed, semi- structured questionnaire was prepared in English and the interview was conducted in Kannada by explaining them questions one by one.Results: Out of 617 ASHAs interviewed, 427 (69.2%) of them told a pregnant woman should have antenatal care (ANC) visits and 413 (65.3%) ASHAs opined that a minimum of four ANC visits are required. While 542 (87.2%) ASHAs told that they should accompany pregnant woman transport to health centre during labour pains and 570 (92.8%) told that they should stay with the pregnant lady until her delivery is over. Also, it was found that knowledge of ASHAs regarding maternal care was significantly associated with age and duration of service of ASHAs.Conclusions: On the whole, knowledge of ASHAs about care during pregnancy and care of new-born was considerably good.

Karnataka has rich epigraphical sources. The entire edifice of Karnataka history from the 3rd century B.C. down to the end of Vijayanagara rests on epigraphical records. A volume of information concerning the political conditions, government and administration, political geography, the social structure and the life of the people, the religious faiths, economic conditions and many other topics, can be derived from a critical study of the inscriptions.The inscription under discussion is a copper plate from the village of Pejavar, Mangalore Taluka, South Kanara District, Karnataka State. The copper plate is now in the possession of K. Venkatraya Achar, Suratkal. It belongs to the period of the Vijayanagara emperor Immadi Devarāya (1424–1446 A.D.). The copper plate is in the Kannada language and script. The script seems to belong to a later period. The epigraphic department of the Government of India noticed this inscription in its annual report in the year 1967–68. Sri Venkatraya Achar, the discoverer of the inscription, made a few observations in the year 1957. This paper seeks to provide fresh information on political, religious and land transaction procedures on the basis of the contents of the copper plate.

This essay revisits Adam Small’s best known play Kanna hy kô hystoe (“Kanna he comes home”, 1965) in order to evaluate its relevance for contemporary readers and audiences. The text, considered one of the classics of Afrikaans literature, is analysed from a rhetorical point of view. The analysis includes an overview of several pertinent academic studies on the play, a summary of the play’s sociopolitical context, and a brief background to rhetorical analysis. The article further takes account of the author’s struggle with his prevailing cultural and political environment before and during the writing and publication of the play, as well as the drawn-out period of five years before its eventual first professional performance, and its subdued reception by prominent Afrikaans literary critics. The second part of the article involves the identification and analysis of three rhetorical problems presented in the play: “Did Kanna act unethically by not returning ‘home’ after his studies?”; “Did Dickie deserve his death sentence?”; and “Who was responsible for creating the wretched circumstances which Makiet, who had always been caring, had to endure?”

Background: Depression is a growing public health challenge in India due to increase in the population of elderly and drastic changes in the socio-cultural environment. There is a dearth of information regarding depression among elderly patients attending primary health care setting in rural India. Hence present study was undertaken.Methods:Data was collected from seventy five elderly patients attending a preventive geriatric clinic in a rural health training centre with the help of pre-tested, semi-structured questionnaire by employing interviewer administered method. In the clinic, elderly patients were screened for cognitive impairment by using translated version of abbreviated mental test (AMT) scale. Data on socio-demographic characteristics were collected. Anthropometric measurements such as standing height, weight and waist circumference were taken as per standard guidelines. Depression was assessed by validated geriatric depression scale (GDS-15) (Kannada version). Subsequently, the standard of living index and housing conditions were assessed by visiting the houses of the elderly patients.Results: The proportion of depression among elderly was found to be 32%. Depression was found to be statistically associated with illiteracy (P<0.05, OR=4.6) and lack of separate living room in the house (P= 0.01, OR= 3.5) and not associated with obesity.Conclusions:Around one third elderly patients attending the primary health care setting were found to be suffering from depression. The illiteracy and lack of separate living room for elderly in the house were associated with depression, which call for further in-depth research.

ABSTRACT Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the stress and discrimination faced by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-affected adult patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART) for more than 1 year. Materials and methods A cross-sectional study was carried out among 170 adults on ART, reporting to the ART center of the District Civil Hospital, for more than 1 year in Raichur Taluk, Karnataka, India. Convenience sampling technique was followed. Descriptive statistics was performed (Chi-square test) using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 16.0. Results A total of 156 (91.8%) patients’ families had knowledge about their seropositive status. Seventeen (10.9%) HIV-positive patients reported of change in the attitude of their family members. The main reasons for not revealing the HIV status were the internalized stigma and fear of rejection. Women faced greater discrimination from family, friends, and neighbors than men. Conclusion It is necessary to not undermine the effect of rejection due to HIV. It is the only infection that has so many associated social and psychological norms which we need to tend at the earnest. Till date, there is an existence of condescendence toward treatment approach. Clinical significance The presence of stigma and the fear of being discriminated could be a major hurdle in the rehabilitation of these patients into the mainstream society. Furthermore, it serves as an existing challenge to ascertain these individuals to achieve overall health.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, ceramic artist EFE Turkel’s ‘Magna Mater’ series will be analysed using the phenomenological method in the context of the concept of dystopia. Whether there is a spatial belonging to utopia is a phenomenon that has been debated by philosophers. In other words, the question of whether utopia is a place to live is part of these discussions. On the other hand, with utopia, there is also the concept of dystopia, which is handled with an almost dialectical approach, spatialised as an inhabitable and impossible place. The concept of dystopia, used by John Stuart Mill in 1868, was encountered especially in literary works. When the concepts of dystopia and utopia are evaluated in the context of life experiences, it can be said that the starting point of the concept of dystopia is based on a previously experienced life practice. While utopia is the reciprocal of idealisation, dystopia is, on the contrary, built on the imperfect. Dystopia as an artistic phenomenon that takes place within the existentialism of mankind. It represents a place that does not exist in the mind of the viewer, but on the other hand, this non-existent place is also another not yet experienced place of an experienced place. Since dystopia emerges as a contradiction to the concept of utopia, the first examples are critical, and in the later examples the introversion and unhappiness that the artists live in their production and inner world are dominant. These thoughts have been featured in novels such as Fahrenheit 451 and Brave New World. In addition, the dystopic city image created in the movie Metropolis and some scenes depicted in the 1984 novel are examples of this. Edvard Munch’s The Scream, Henry Moore’s sculptures and Benjamin Peret’s Automata photographs are among the known examples. The works of artists such as Kannar Lichtenberger, Hoffmann Ruan and Alison Ruttan can be shown as examples of dystopic approaches in today’s ceramic art.
