Madhubani art of the Bihar state has been undergoing transition where its application in original composition has been declined owing to social and economic changes now-a-days. There is need to explore possibilities for the conservation of this art form viz other artistic media for future generations. The reason for using traditional motifs in textiles is to keep our designs or motifs alive.  The Indian folk arts with painting play important role in creating new designs. Escalating demands of consumers requires modification in the fashion industry with respect to design, colour, style and technique. So in an effort to add another dimension in the application of Madhubani designs on textiles, the present study was planned.  The effort was targeted towards finding the possibility of applying Madhubani designs on textile articles utilizing the hand painting. Madhubani motifs/designs were adapted for center design and border design. Total thirty six motifs / designs were developed keeping in mind their suitability for articles like cushion cover, folder and table cloth. Developed design sheets were subjected to visual evaluation for selection of one best design in each category by the panel of thirty respondents to find out the suitability of the developed designs for hand painting. Finally three articles were prepared by using selected designs and these prepared articles were highly appreciated by the respondents.

The Indian folk arts with printing and embroidery play important role in creating new designs. Escalating demands of consumers requires modification in the fashion industry with respect to design, colour, style and technique.So an attempt was made to develop a design pool using folk art of Uttarakhand (aipan) for applique work. This also provides the opportunity to use the adapted traditional motifs on textiles and to preserve the beautiful traditional folk art. Aipan motifs were adapted for center design, border design, and buti design. Total thirty motifs / designs were developed keeping in mind their suitability for articles like bags, pencil purse and mobile holder. All the developed designs were subjected to visual evaluation for selection of two best designs in each category by the panel of thirty judges to find out the suitability of the developed designs for appliqué work. Thus total six motifs were selected for preparation of the five arrangements for each article. Four final selected arrangements with appliqué work were prepared using different embroidery stitches (slip hemming, couching, buttonhole and chain stitch). Plain red poplin and left-out fabrics were used to prepare articles. Finally articles were prepared by using selected arrangements and these prepared articles were highly appreciated by the consumers.

Fashion color trends are an essential marketing element that directly affect brand sales. Organizations such as Pantone have global authority over professional color standards by annually forecasting color palettes. However, the question remains whether fashion designers apply these colors in fashion shows that guide seasonal fashion trends. This study analyzed image data from fashion collections through machine learning to obtain measurable results by web-scraping catwalk images, separating body and clothing elements via machine learning, defining a selection of color chips using k-means algorithms, and analyzing the similarity between the Pantone color palette (16 colors) and the analysis color chips. The gap between the Pantone trends and the colors used in fashion collections were quantitatively analyzed and found to be significant. This study indicates the potential of machine learning within the fashion industry to guide production and suggests further research expand on other design variables.

<p>This is a study of the lexical effects on New Zealand English of the legal, social and economic changes brought about by the fourth Labour government and its successor during the decade from 1984 - 1994, during which period the New Zealand public sector was radically reformed. In order to carry out this study a corpus of approximately five million written words was compiled, consisting of three parallel sets of documents from four domains of use in the public sector. Chapter One provides the rationale for scoping the study both to this particular ten-year period and to the lexis of four particular government departments, namely The Treasury and the Ministries of Social Welfare, Health and Education. A review of previous related work in the field of lexicography, and the aims and specific research questions which motivated the study, are located at the end of this first chapter. Chapter Two explains the reasons behind the selection of three particular documents for use as data sources: the Annual Reports, the annual Corporate Plans, and the triennial Briefings to the Incoming Government. This chapter also describes the methodology used to determine words for inclusion in the glossary which is located in Appendix I. The advantages and pitfalls of the Google search method are discussed, as are the approaches taken to dealing with multiword units, proper nouns, abbreviations and words of Maori origin. The construction and arrangement of the glossary are explained here, including the basis for selection of citations. In Chapter Three an overview of each ministry's dataset is given in terms of its linguistic characteristics, and the results of the study are described. The penultimate chapter catalogues the discovery of a rich vein of figurative language throughout the documents of the New Zealand Treasury, as evidenced by varied and extended metaphors used to express economic concepts. This chapter gives a brief account of metaphor theory and discusses the methodology used for identification of metaphors in the dataset. The fifth and final chapter of this study sums up the overall findings and points the way towards useful future research in this field. A major part of this study consists of the aforementioned lexicon in Appendix I of New Zealand-specific words from these domains and their illustrative citations. This lexicon is a record of the NZE words used in a particular dataset in the public sector of New Zealand. It amounts to approximately 260 entries supported by 660 citations, which were collected via an exhaustive data search of three types of government document over one decade. These terms are not new in the sense that they first appeared in NZE during the decade of this study, but approximately two-thirds of them are new in the sense that they do not appear in any dictionary of English. This collection of terms constitutes a cultural and historical archive, which records the distinctive identity of New Zealand's public sector as it underwent a revolutionary era of profound political and economic change.</p>

AbstractThere is an urgent need to understand lived experiences of climate change in the context of African cities, where even small climate shocks can have significant implications for the livelihoods of the urban poor. This article examines narratives of climate and livelihood changes within Jinja Municipality, Uganda, emphasizing how Jinja's residents make sense of climate change through their own narrative frames rather than through the lens of global climate change discourses. We demonstrate how the onset of climate change in Jinja is widely attributed to perceived moral and environmental failings on the part of a present generation that is viewed as both more destructive than previous generations and unable to preserve land, trees and other resources for future generations. A focus on local ontologies of climate change highlights how the multiple, intersecting vulnerabilities of contemporary urban life in Jinja serve to obfuscate not only the conditions of possibility of an immediate future, but the longer-term horizons for future generations, as changing weather patterns exacerbate existing challenges people face in adapting to wider socio-economic changes and rising livelihood vulnerability. This form of analysis situates changing climate and environments within the context of everyday urban struggles and emphasizes the need for civic participation in developing climate change strategies that avoid the pitfalls of climate reductionism. The article draws on more than 150 qualitative interviews, generational dialogue groups, and creative methods based on research-led community theatre.

The concept of possible selves is important in understanding client selection of an occupation from a range of choices as well as the development of motivation for the successful pursuit of required courses of training or study in order to achieve employment. Recent changes to many jobs and skill requirements, stemming from technological and economic changes, mean that clients may bring with them beliefs and prejudices about occupations that are based upon incorrect information. Such beliefs have the potential to adversely affect the process of effective career selection and the development of concepts of possible selves that are close to reality. This article considers what career counsellors may do to facilitate clients' formulation of realistic conceptions of possible selves that accurately reflect actual, current occupational skill requirements.

Three hundred and fifty-eight faba bean accessions, originating from 28 countries in 5 continents, were evaluated for their reaction to a Syrian isolate (SV64-95) of Bean leafroll virus (BLRV, family Luteoviridae). Selection for resistance was based on: (i) visual evaluation for symptom expression (disease severity); (ii) virus concentration in the plant tissues, based on the intensity of reaction in the tissue-blot immunoassay; and (iii) seed yield. A large variability in resistance to BLRV was found both between and within faba bean accessions. Progenies of single plants, selected for resistance under inbreeding conditions, were evaluated for another 2-year period. Repeated reselection of inoculated plants, in the absence of outcrossing, significantly increased the proportion of resistant plants. The most resistant selections were made from populations originating from Afghanistan, China, Colombia, Pakistan, Russia, Sudan, Switzerland, Tunisia, Turkey, and Yemen.

Over the years, many attempts have been made to define and characterise rock abrasiveness. However, it is found that abrasiveness of rocks is not only difficult to define but also hard to measure. A number of relative rock abrasiveness tests have emerged but their results do not always faithfully reflect the characteristics of the rocks that may be useful in the excavation process. Under the circumstances, an in­ depth study of rock abrasiveness is warranted. The present study may provide additional help to fill a gap in this area. The study has addressed a number of issues on abrasivity of rocks and the objectives included inter-alia the following: 1. Developing and standardising appropriate testing techniques for evaluation of the abrasiveness and microhardness of the mine rocks. 2. Evaluating the abrasivity characteristics of mine rocks from Mosaboni copper mine, Jhinkpani limestone quarry and Indian coal-measure strata, Jharia, all from the Bihar State of India. 3. Evaluating the characteristics of a suite of rocks from Nepal (limestone from Nigale and quartzite from Bhedetar, Dhankuta District, Nepal). In this study a number of testing methods have been used to evaluate rock abrasiveness of rocks, specially the Cerchar Abrasivity Index (CAI), Schimazek Index and Indian School of Mines Abrasivity Test (ISMAT). The tests were performed in the rock mechanics laboratory of Indian School of Mines (ISM), Dhanbad, India. The results of these tests are discussed in detail. Hopefully, this study on abrasivity characteristics of rocks will aid in the selection of appropriate tools and excavation systems thereby enhancing the work performances and reducing the costs in excavations.
