A Balance between work and life is something for which every woman is striving for. Good WLB is made-up to be live when there is a good environment prevails at work (business) and at home with the minimum role of conflict. Running a business is not as easy as going for a job. In business, the responsibility is more for the owner compared to the worker. A woman taking care of own business and taking care of family are two big responsibilities for her. For a self-employed woman, it is necessary to be in the place of business for longer hours as she is the investor or owner. For an employee, it is 8 hours. But for the business owner, there is no such limit in working hours. As per the situation prevailing in the place of business, she has to present herself for longer hours. This paper attempts to study the WLB between married female self-employers and salaried women in Puducherry, Objectives of the study: The primary objectives of the study shall be 1) To Study the WLB of married Female self-employers at Puducherry. 2) To study the perception and satisfaction level of WLB by married self-employers at Puducherry. For this, 80 Samples were collected using Simple Random Sampling method. Tools such as Percentage analysis and t-test were used. The study found that there is a significant difference in work life expectation and work life satisfaction between women self-employed and salaried women in Puducherry.

Balancing work and life is very difficult for any women in any profession. When it comes to the teaching profession, it is more complicated to have a better balance between both life and work. A good teacher is an epitome in pupil’s learning and developing good habits. Private school teacher is more answerable to the management where they are working as well as parents pertaining to pupil’s education and habits. They are also responsible for nonacademic activities too to be done in the school. Besides, Government teachers are not only responsible for pupil’s educational development, but they may be assigned additional duties like election duty, survey, etc. It makes known that it is really a very complicated working environment for the teachers in both sectors. In this context, this paper attempts to study the Work-Life Balance (WLB) between married female government and private school teachers in Puducherry with a focus on personal life satisfaction and support from family. In order to carry out the study, 55 samples were chosen using simple random sampling technique. Statistical tools such as percentage analysis and t-test were used. The study found that there is no significant difference between in personal life satisfaction and support from family among government and private school teachers in Puducherry.

Yttrium oxide nanoparticles (Y2O3 NPs) are synthesized successfully using Forsythiae fructus aqueous fruit extract. The structrural and morphological properties of Y2O3 NPs were systematically studied by FTIR, SEM, TEM, XPS and XRD patterns. The results indicate the NPs with flake-like flower morphology. The overall results indicated that the green synthesized Y2O3 NPs exhibited potent anti-cancer activity against renal carcinoma cells. The synthesis method is inexpensive, eco-friendly, reduced harmful side effects and alternative to physical/chemical methods. (C) 2017 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Objectives : To elaborate the essence of Ecosystem services to scientists and stake holders and throw some light on to its interred disciplinary nature. People of all strata need a thorough understanding of the surrounding ecosystem and the services provided by it to human in various means. A scientific attitude and temper is the need of hour to protect our mother Earth from ailments of pollution and imbalances. Method : Various aspects of ecosystem services have been reviewed and the basic facts were elaborated thoroughly to grass root level so as to transfer the concept to even novices. Important concepts by scientists of respective fields have been analyzed and portrayed in a systematic manner. Efforts were taken to relate the dependence of common man to ecosystem for his successful survival on this planet. Findings : The ecosystem services had been classified to mainly 4 types. This paper has described various facets of services in detail. The Provisioning services elaborated here are food, fodder, fuel, fiber, water, biochemical, alginates, ornamental resources and generic resources. Regulating services explained are air, climate, water, nitrogen fixation, disease outbreak, biological control, pollination, storm etc. Cultural services are explained as cultural value, religious value, educational value and aesthetic value. Supporting services of different types are also mentioned in this context. Applications : The new findings can be applied to assess the ecosystem service values which can support the economy of a country. People should be made aware of the importance of ecosystem services so that they can utilize the products and processes of nature in a sustainable manner.

The spectroscopic and molecular modeling (MM) study includes, FT-IR, FT-Raman and 13C NMR and 1H NMR spectra of the Benzene sulfonamide were recorded for the analysis. The observed experimental and theoretical frequencies (IR and Raman) were assigned according to their distinctive region. The present study of this title molecule have been carried out by hybrid computational calculations of HF and DFT (B3LYP) methods with 6-311+G(d,p) and 6-311++G(d,p) basis sets and the corresponding results are tabulated. The structural modifications of the compound due to the substitutions of NH2 and SO2 were investigated. The minimum energy conformers of the compound were studied using conformational analysis. The alternations of the vibrational pattern of the base structure related to the substitutions were analyzed. The thermodynamic parameters (such as zero-point vibrational energy, thermal energy, specific heat capacity, rotational constants, entropy, and dipole moment) of Benzene sulfonamide have been calculated. The donor acceptor interactions of the compound and the corresponding UV transitions are found out using NBO analysis. The NMR spectra were simulated by using the gauge independent atomic orbital (GIAO) method with B3LYP methods and the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set and their spectra were simulated and the chemical shifts related to TMS were compared. A quantum computational study on the electronic and optical properties absorption wavelengths, excitation energy, dipole moment and frontier molecular orbital energies, were performed by HF and DFT methods. The energy gap of the present compound was calculated related to HOMO and LUMO energies which confirm the occurring of charge transformation between the base and ligand group. Besides frontier molecular orbitals (FMO), molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) was performed. The thermodynamic properties (heat capacity, entropy, and enthalpy) of the title compound at different temperatures were calculated in gas phase and solvents (DMSO and methanol).
