Of Slums and Politics in Puri, Odisha: The Localisation of the Slum-Free Cities Mission in the Temple City

1. Introduction This paper grew out of my scholarly interest in how the “urban local process” of a smaller city is connected to India’s “larger urban process” by means of slum re-development policy (see author’s notes). Contemporary urban development in India is driven by the elite aspiration to develop cities as global or world cities (Banerjee-Guha 2010; Dupont 2011; Goldman 2011; Roy 2014; Roy 2011a). While Indian cities are facing a range of complex challenges and suffer from diverse prob...

Design of Sewage Treatment Plant

Metro satellite has become as important complex locality near the place Palasuni of Bhubaneswar. As the city of temples, occupied the top position in the recent survey of 100 smart cities, there will be an increase not only economically but also there will be rise in population along with infrastructural works. So there is a substantial possibility of rise in population in Metro Satellite area of Palasuni. With this steady increase of population, there will be more generation of household and domestic sewage. So there is a basic need of construction of a Sewage Treatment Plant with a view of sufficient capacity to treat the sewage. A sewage treatment plant is quite necessary to receive the domestic and household waste and thus removing the materials which creates harms for general public. Its basic aim or objective is to produce an environmental safe atmosphere by treated effluent or sludge which will be suitable for disposal or reuse. The project mainly deals with design of STP and its stages or components which are responsible for the sewage treatment like screening, grit chamber ,skimming tank, sedimentation tank, secondary clarifier, activated sludge tank and sludge drying beds. The projects covers the various dimensions of components such as which would cover an approximate population of 10000 including every building and complex of the area for a maximum period of time. By the execution of the project the entire sewage of the proposed area can be treated effectively and efficiently. I. Function decomposition

Banks are basically service rendering institutions. India has an extensive banking network in both urban and rural areas. The Indian banking sector through dominated by the public sector banks is also the home of numerous private and foreign banks. The city Madurai popularly known as ‘Temple City’ and ‘Business Centre’ of south India has the presence of wider network of banks. Apart from the functioning of a large number of branches of the various nationalized banks the private sector banks are also equally contributing towards satisfying the banking needs of the people in Madurai City. Hence, the present study is done to find out the level of satisfaction derived by the customers on the service rendered by the various private sector banks in Madurai City and the factors that influence the same. The study is based on primary data. Data are collected through a well-structured questionnaire. The respondents were drawn by means of convenient sampling method. To find out the satisfaction level Chisquare test was employed. Finally the study has a number of suggestions to the banks in order to raise the satisfaction level of the customers.

Influence of Services and Quality of Private Banking in India

Private banking in India was practiced since the beginning of banking system in India. The first private bank be set up in India was the IndusInd Bank. It was one of the fastest growing banks, among private sector banks in India.” A customer is one who receives a product or service from an organization. So defined, a customer would obviously include an account holder or his representative, or a person carrying on casual business transactions with a bank, or a person who on his own initiative may come within the ambit banking fold. The study entitled customer perception to the services of commercial banks in Madurai city is carried out in the Temple city which is the second largest one in Tamil Nadu. Twenty four public sector banks and fifteen private sector banks function in Madurai district.

“The Pentateuch that the Samaritans Chose”

“The Pentateuch that the Samaritans Chose”, is the heading of Chapter Seven in Magnar Kartveit’s The Origin of the Samaritans (2009). The heading is highly problematic in regard to both the origin of the Samaritans and the production of biblical texts and books in ancient Palestine. Kartveit’s assumption that the Samaritans “chose one text-type in particular among the different texts available” rests on several old paradigms about Samaritan origins and religion, which badly fit recent evidence from archaeology and epigraphy. A continuous and independent Yahvistic cult in Israel, from at least the Iron Age, a temple on Mt Gerizim from early in the Persian period, and a highly developed temple city on Mt Gerizim in the Hellenistic period, do notsustain paradigms about Samaritans as an “aberrant” branch of Judaism or the Samaritan Pentateuch as an off-shoot of a Jewish pre-Samaritan or proto-Masoretic Pentateuch.

Drinking water quality management through various physico-chemical parameters and health hazard problems with their remedial measures in Bhubaneswar city of Odisha, India

The physicochemical and bacteriological study and its adverse effect in Bhubaneswar the capital of Odisha well known as temple city of India are undertaken. Water samples from 39 different locations were collected in postmonsoon period. Standard procedures were adopted to calculate their physical, chemical and biological parameters. Bhubaneswar has a typical interface of sedimentary terrain along with alluvium deposits, has got variability in its physical and chemical constituents. The variations are also remarkable on the basis of their lithological aspects. Different parameters of groundwater samples were examined using WHO and Indian Standards to find their suitability for drinking and domestic purposes. Systematic approach between various parameters is simultaneously carried out. Each element and its impact to health problem are discussed. The results are then interpreted to provide the details of the quality and quantity problem suggesting whether water of different locations are within the permissible limit for drinking and domestic purposes as far as different standards are concerned.

The Sacred Economy of Ancient “Israel”

Taking up the challenge to develop a new study of the economic patterns in the ancient Near East, including what passes for ancient “Israel’ (the Persian province of Yehud), this article proposes a model of the “sacred economy.” A study in economic history, it seeks to map out the broad contours of this sacred economy in light of the neglected but crucial economically–informed scholarship from the Soviet Union on the ancient Near East. The article identifies the key nodes of the sacred economy as the village–commune, the temple–city complex, the formation of the despotic state, the tensions between labour and class, and mediations between empire and village commune. It traces the development of the State to the tensions between the village commune and the city–temple complex. It also argues that the key features of this sacred economy may be described as regimes of allocation and regimes of extraction. The unique combination of these regimes and the tensions between them make up the sacred economy. The underlying logic of the regimes of allocation was to provide a rationale for the allocation of productive units such as land and fertility by means of kinship, the war machine, patron–client relations and the judiciary. All of this was posed in the language of the sacred, for the deity is the ultimate arbiter of allocation. By contrast, the regimes of extraction undermine the allocatory economic logic by means of a pattern of exploitation in terms of tribute and trade. This article insists upon the necessary centrality of economic analysis in any historiography of the Ancient Near East.

マドゥライ(タミル・ナードゥ州,インド)の都市形成と住み分けの構造

This paper focuses upon the segregation of the caste groups in the city of Madurai, which is a typical "temple city" in Tamil Nadu, in order to consider the feature of the spatial formation. First, the ideal model of the city is considered by reviewing the historical forming process and the function of festivals. Secondly, it is clarified, the present condition of the caste segregation in Madurai based on the distribution of temples and shops, street names and so on. One of the conclusion is that, Madurai city has the hierarchical co-centric square formation which is similar to "Nandyavarta" described in Manasara, and the arrangement of the caste group's residences also follow it basically.

Bio medical waste management in Jammu city

Ironically waste was not a problem for the society when man was primitive and uncivilized. The proliferation of modern concept of consumerism supplemented with culture of disposables has aggravated the waste problem. These biomedical wastes along with the municipal wastes commonly exceed the carrying capacity of biosphere to reabsorb and recycle. The present paper deals with the status of Bio medical waste management in Jammu city. 42 government and private health institutions have been identified which generate about 3917 kg/day @ 1.52 Kg/bed/day contributing 26% to the municipal solid waste. The paper seeks to demonstrate the waste collection, segregation, treatment and disposal of the wastes in the otherwise unplanned city of temples.

Hindu India: from Khajuraho to the temple city of Madurai

There is nothing new under the sun... and then there are the temples of India. For many who have roamed the byways of the subcontinent, it is these myriad mind-expanding palaces of faith that fill the spirit and make the fare worthwhile. They are enough to give you religion. 3-D songs of praise to the fecund possibilities of both environment and human intention, they are as diverse as the landscapes of Asia and yet share a grace and delicacy of invention. Focusing on Jain as well as Hindu constructions, this exemplary volume takes us on a revelatory historical journey to trace both the traditions and developments in their design, from the wood and cave temples of the first few hundred years AD, through early experiments in stone to the three dominant architectural strands. Whether it be Nagara in the north, Vesara in the central highlands or the Dravda walled city complexes of the south, each style is fully presented and analysed in a series of detailed photographs, drawings, plans and excavations. Just as the temple sancta themselves become more sacred the further in you penetrate, so this book offers greater rewards the longer you spend in its company.

Environmental Deterioration of Stone Monuments of Bhubaneswar, the Temple City of India

Environmental Deterioration of Stone Monuments of Bhubaneswar, the Temple City of India

Environmental deterioration of stone monuments of Bhubaneswar, the temple city of India

Studies on the effect of various atmospheric pollutants, such as SO2, NOx and suspended particulate matter, and other environmental parameters like rainfall, percentage relative humidity, wind direction and speed, etc., have been carried out in relation to the deterioration of stone monuments built during the seventh to tenth centuries AD in the temple city of Bhubaneswar in the state of Orissa, India. The studies were made throughout the year, in tropical climatic conditions. The rate and nature of deposition and erosion on the stone surface have been determined. Reasonable mechanisms for such deterioration are suggested.

Jesus as Astral Prophet

Jesus' final discourse in the Synoptics is replete with words, phrases and statements typical of ancient Mediterranean astronomy/astrology. Further, forecasts concerning the Son of Man coming from the sky and the destruction of a Jerusalem, a temple city, clearly entail astronomical and astrological dimensions. These features point to traditions about Jesus as astral prophet and his concern with sky events, much like Israel's astral prophets and their focus on celestial territoriality.

The New Jerusalem: Ideal City

Aramaic scroll found in the Qumran caves and named by Milik The New I is a detailed description of a temple city designed upon an orthogonal grid of streets, in the tradition of orthogonal cities that began in ancient Egypt and was continued in the Greek Hippodamian cities and the Roman castrum. reconstruction of the scroll that has been published to date is based on two pages (5Q15), which were found in a relatively complete state and were completed by Milik with the aid of another copy of the same scroll that was found in Cave 4 at Qumran and has not been published, and also fragments of the scroll that have been published only in part. In my discussion of the scroll I rely upon Milik's reconstruction and the fragments that have been published except in those cases where Milik notes that his reading is not decisive. text of the scroll in Aramaic and in English translation has been published by Fitzmyer and Harrington,2 and in German by Beyer.3 Greenfield4 proposed several corrections to Milik's reconstruction. An attempt at an architectural reconstruction of the New Jerusalem was made by Licht,5 with whom I disagree in the reconstruction presented here. There are minor differences among the reconstructions of the Aramaic in the various publications. No full and accepted official text of the scroll has as yet been published, so for my present purpose I have chosen the text pub-

225 RESERVE BILIRUBIN BINDING CAPACITY (RBBC) MEASURED BY ABSORBANCE DEVIATION (AD) AT SATURATION OF PRIMARY ALBUMIN-BINDING SITES (PABS)

This method requires the sequential addition of 5 μl increments of bilirubin solution (BS) of 25 mg/dl to 50 μl of neonatal serum (NS) in 2 ml of 200 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.4. With each addition of BS to the NS, there is a constant increase in absorbance at 484 nm until all PABS are exceeded. The table shows the expected absorbance change (Δ A484 nm) per addition of BS which results in a linear relationship between added BS and Δ A484 nm until saturation of PABS. Deviation from linearity occurs when the saturation of PABS is exceeded. The volume of BS that can be added to a NS before this point is reached provides an index of how far a patient is from the point at which bilirubin (BR) concentration will exceed primary capacity and unbound BR will rapidly rise. The proposed method is less cumbersome than the methods currently being used, other than the less available BR hematofluorometer (Pediatrics 65:767, 1980). Uniform lots of stable BS were provided by A. Louderback of Clinical Chemistry Consultants, Temple City, California.

"Sabbath" and "Temple City" in the Temple Scroll

I happily accept invitation of Editor of Bulletin to respond to essay-review of The Temple Scroll written by my colleague in field of Israel's cult, Prof. Baruch A. Levine. Because of limits of time and space (see Editorial note above) my comments will be brief and to point.' Levine properly launches his discussion of Scroll by calling into question some of its fundamental issues. His point on Qumran calendar is well taken. Even with Scroll we are still uncertain that calendar of Jubilees was in force at Qumran. In particular, Levine gives detailed reasons why he doubts that Scroll's first-fruits festivals began on a Sunday. His evidence is two-fold: that sabbat may mean week and not only Sabbath day; and, especially, that omission of mimmoh6rat haiabbat, the day after Sabbath, from Scroll's rewording of Lev 23:15-16a, is inexplicable if Omer festival fell on a Sunday. In order to determine whether Levine's critique is decisive let two passages be cited in full:
