Human beings have always had a profound passion for decoration. Throughout history, art has served as both a means of decoration and individual expression and also act as a vehicle for the expression or communication of emotions and ideas. It is perceived through the eyes, but appreciated by the spirit. Its sole purpose is to stimulate the feeling of joy and peace. Modern India has a steep orientation towards western culture and fashion. Though it is dominating few million Indian women, still many of them stay with Indian culture by choosing style variation in their dressing sense. The study was undertaken by the researcher in designing sarees by using African art motifs in Indian traditional costume and Chinese motifs for designing kurties and Japanese motifs for designing home furnishing and handicraft items. The objectives for this study were to collect various ancient images of African, Chinese and Japanese arts, retrieve the motifs, designed household textiles and apparels with selected motifs and to analyze the aesthetic appeal of designed household textiles and apparels. It was concluded from the study that these arts are a successful innovation with reference to motifs, placement of motifs and colour combination. Thus, we can reach the height of fashion even by keeping out feet on traditional ground.Keywords

Eve teasing is emerging as a widespread burning issue throughout the country. It is a euphemism used in India for sexual harassment and molestation of women by men. Women of all ages are subjected to eve teasing, while school and college going girls top the list of victims of eve teasing. As a result of which women undergo severe stress and their well-being is affected. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on Psychological well-being of such victims. Psychological well-being is an outcome of experiences and interactions related to various aspects of our being. It is influenced by life events, personality characteristics, personal goals, perceived social support, the type of attribution one makes etc. Victims are in great depression at the time of eve teasing, when it is not possible to share the experience with the family members as the environment is not so friendly towards them. Therefore, in the present research paper the role of Social support in influencing the Psychological well-being of the victims of eve teasing has been studied by the researcher. It has been revealed that perceived social support plays an important role in determining the psychological well-being of victims of eve teasing.Keywords

Present study was aimed at molecular genetic fingerprint profile of 15 genotypes of three populations of Pinus roxburghii Sarg. from Himalayan regions of India using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) based markers. Needles of Pinus roxburghii Sarg. were collected from Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh (HP), Nainital, Uttarakhand (UK) and Darjeeling, West Bengal (WB) regions of India. The samples were subjected to DNA extraction and RAPD analysis using oligonucleotide purification cartridge (OPC) primers. Out of 15 primers tested, nine primers gave scorable bands. Altogether 48 bands were obtained, out of which 43 were found to be polymorphic. Number of amplified fragments with RAPD primers ranged from four to eight with the size of amplicon ranging from 500 to 7,000bp. Investigation of natural diversity at intraspecies level was performed with 15 genotypes. Forty‑eight amplification products were scored by RAPD and showed 89.58% polymorphism with a mean intrapopulation genetic diversity (Hpop) of 0.2754. A significant inter‑ and intrapopulation diversity was observed, with the percentage of polymorphic loci (Pp) ranging from 50.09 to 70.83%, Shannon’s information index (I) from 0.3262 to 0.4689 and Nei’s gene diversity (h) from 0.2032 to 0.3335 with mean Nei’s gene diversity 0.377 and the overall estimate of gene flow being (Nm) 1.3555. Unweighted pair‑group method with arithmetic average (UPGMA) analysis based Dendrogram showed single cluster. The variation amongst the samples of the three ecological regions can be attributed to varied climatic conditions and may help in conservation/future cultivation of these species.Keywords

Research suggests that growing pressure on working mothers both external and internal contributes to a feeling of intolerable stress. The pressure comes from the media and society, but mostly it comes trom person's own selves. More working mothers than ever are trapped in an endless cycle of guilt: feeling they are bad mothers because they work and bad employees because they have a family. The children are inevitably affected in return atfecting the well-being of working women post maternity who perceive least support trom significant others or family/ triends. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on the psychological well-being and perceived social support among working women post maternity. Psychological well-being is influenced by life events, personality characteristics, personal goals, perceived social support, the type of attribution one makes. The results depict that there is no significant etfect of perceived social support on the psychological well-being of the post maternity women.Keywords
