Full textAbstract:
This study aims to examine the conceptualisation of the diligence value in the Malay and Tamil proverbs based on the Hybrid Theory. This is a qualitative research design using the content analysis method. The research data are all of the proverbs denoting the value of diligence found in the Malay and Tamil textbooks used in the primary level but only four proverbs from these textbooks are part of the analysis. The analysis of the operational metaphor for each proverb is based on the domain features contained in the conceptual space defined in the Hybrid Theory. Additionally, the Malay and Tamil proverbs have its own moral values and philosophical foundations based on each context of the respective society. We suggest that the conceptual space visualises the similarities and differences in the comparison of the Malay and Tamil proverbs. The analysis displays a new approach in conceptualising proverbs according to the Malay and Tamil cultural thinking in tandem with the intellectual advancements of the respective tradition. Hence, this study of proverbs indirectly reveals a new perspective on the semantic-pragmatic aspects in Malay and Tamil civilizations for the readers.

Proverbs is one of the literary forms. Like folk songs, folk tales, fairy tales etc., proverbs belong to the genre of oral literature. A proverb is a language that originates from primitive knowledge. Describing an object in one or two lines without directly describing it is called riddles. In Tamil it is called pisi or nodi. These riddles help in developing intellectual activities. Mothers use riddles to develop their child's intellectual power. Proverbs have appeared in all the languages and it is intertwined with people's lives. Proverbs have been used by the Tamil people since the ancient time itself. Proverbs is the shortest form of oral language-based folk idioms. It has a great impact on people. Even today riddles are most commonly used by all humans. Our forefathers have used to say proverbs to indicate certain actions in the rural areas, to make comments and create awareness. It is infused with experience and knowledge.

Tradisi lisan merupakan salah satu cabang bagi penciptaan peribahasa Tamil. Peribahasa ini dicipta dan dihasilkan daripada pengamatan lapisan masyarakat India terhadap keistimewaan alam semula jadi di sekeliling mereka secara implisit. Namun begitu, penerokaan makna peribahasa Tamil yang dijalankan oleh pengkaji lepas hanya terhad di peringkat semantik skrip dan semantik resonans sahaja. Oleh itu, objektif kajian adalah menganalisis peribahasa Tamil berunsur lada hitam menggunakan pendekatan Semantik Inkuisitif oleh Jalaluddin (2014) serta dibantu pendekatan Rangka Rujuk Silang oleh Kempson (1986). Kajian ini adalah berbentuk kualitatif sepenuhnya melalui temu bual secara mendalam ke atas empat orang informan yang pilih secara NORF/M (Non-Mobile, Old, Remote dan Female/Male). Keseluruhannya, pengkaji memperoleh sebanyak 25 data peribahasa Tamil berunsurkan tumbuh-tumbuhan. Namun begitu, sebagai batasan kajian ini pengkaji hanya akan memfokuskan data peribahasa Tamil berunsurkan lada hitam sahaja. Data peribahasa Tamil tersebut seperti, ?????? ??????????????, ???????????? ????????????? (Transkripsi Rumi: Kadagu pona idam aarayvaar, poosanikay pona idam theriyathu) dan ?????????????????????? ???????? (Transkripsi Rumi: Kadugu siruthalum kaaram kuraiyaathu). Melalui kajian ini pengkaji dapat merumuskan bahawa, peribahasa Tamil ini tidak diciptakan secara sewenang-wenangnya tetapi, mempunyai kaitan yang kukuh dengan budaya serta akal budi masyarakat India pada zaman dahulu. Transmitting proverbs via oral communication is one of the most common ways of Tamil proverbs’ growth. These proverbs are communicated when the early generations’ strong observation of their surroundings. These mostly come with implied meanings. Nevertheless this study emphasizes mainly on scripted and resonance semantics only. Following that, the objective of this research is to analyze Tamil proverbs which has black pepper element in it. The research has been done using the Inquisitive Semantics method introduced by Jalaluddin (2014) as well as the Bridging Cross Reference approach by Kempson (1986). The data for this qualitative research have been attained from four main informants, selected based on NORF/NORM (Non-Mobile, Old, Remote and Female/ Male) methods. The researcher has successfully attained data for 25 Tamil proverbs which has green elements in them. However, this research had been limited to focus on data based on black pepper only. Those Tamil proverbs are ????? ? ??????????????,???????????? ????????????? (Kadagu pona idamaar ayvaar, poosanikay pona idam theriyathu) and ?????????????????????????????? (Kadugu siruthalum kaaram kuraiyaathu) Researcher was able to conclude that Tamil proverbs created based on the strong connection in between tradition and cognition of the Indian community on the early day of life.

Abstract. Healthy eating practices, especially those based on food pyramid, should be vividly followed in our daily diet. The food pyramid guide contains four main groups of food which are arranged accordingly to the quantity of nutrition recommended by the health expertise of the balanced, healthy and correct nutritional features. One of the most vital part of the food pyramid is green vegetables and fruits. They are a the second level of the aforementioned food group that is rich in vitamins, minerals and fibre. Implicitly, this healthy eating image was also transmitted into the creation of proverbs for example in Tamil proverbs. Healthy food images have been detected in the Tamil data collection collected through deep interviews with four Indian informants. A total of five Tamil proverbs have been screened using sampling mode, which is aimed to have the images of green vegetables and fruits such as “eggplant”, “cassava”, “water pumpkin” and more. They were detected in a total of 25 Tamil proverbs obtained from the informants. Further to that, this study will examine the implicit meaning of these proverbs using an incredibly inquisitive approach by Nor Hashimah Jalaluddin (2014) by associating the data, theory, cognitive and intellect of the speakers. With such information, researchers are able to look at the language, society and thoughts of the speaker.Keywords: Tamil proverbs, healthy eating habit, vegetables and fruits, linguistics, inquisitive semantics, the minds of the speaker Abstrak.

Different beliefs and practices are found in human life from birth to death. These beliefs are created by the people and are followed and protected by the mother’s community. Man has been living with nature since ancient times. Beliefs appeared in natural human life. Hope can be traced back to ancient Tamils and still prevails in Tamil Nadu today. The hope of seeing the omen in it is found all over the world. Proverbs show that people have faith in omens. Our ancestors wrote the book 'Gauli Shastri' because the lizard omen is very important in our society. The word lizard played a major role in Tamil life during the Sangam period. It is possible to know that people have lived by the benefit of the lizard. There is hope from the public that the sound of the lizard will predict what will happen next. The purpose of this article is to illustrate the lizard word that has been around for a long time in folklore.

Full textAbstract:
Arizona governor B.B. Moeur’s 1934 declaration of martial law to prevent construction of a dam to supply California with water now belongs to history. The open political conflict that characterized the early relationship between the states of the Colorado River basin has given way to extensive cooperation, even as water scarcity poses an ever–greater challenge for management of the basin’s water resources. Yet halfway around the world, in India, history threatens to repeat itself. In April 2013, the Indian press reported a most unusual case of espionage: the police in Kerala, a southern state engaged in a long–running river basin dispute with the adjacent state of Tamil Nadu, announced that they had uncovered a spy working on behalf of their neighbor, who they charged had “developed a wide network with officials and ministers to source vital info regarding Kerala’s stand on interstate water issues” (Express News Service 2013). Both the 1934 invocation of martial law and the more recent 2013 allegation of espionage are poignant examples of behavior common to countries but not to subnational states. Though fortunately rare, they attest to the gravity of conflict over water that occurs within countries, rather than between them. These subnational hydropolitics are both surprisingly common and conceptually puzzling, for they occur despite the existence of relationships and institutions, ranging from water ministries to political party structures, that may be expected to prevent them. This book helps to explain why water so often proves to be a focal point for political conflict within nations as well as among them. This conclusion first reprises the argument of the book and its implications, then discusses directions for future research. Finally, it offers some policy recommendations for countries like India where sustainable water resource management is undermined by extensive subnational political conflict over water. In a world where water needs are growing rapidly even as water supply variability increases due to climate change, it is critical to understand the politics of water at subnational as well as international levels—and how this understanding can be leveraged to improve water resource management.

Full textAbstract:
Heavy commercial vehicles due to their un-streamlined body shapes are aerodynamically inefficient due to higher fuel consumption as compared to passenger vehicles. The rising demand and use of fossil fuel escalate the amount of carbon dioxide emitted to the environment, thus more efficient tractor-trailer design becomes necessary to be developed. Fuel consumption can be reduced by either improving the driveline losses or by reducing the external forces acting on the truck. These external forces include rolling resistance and aerodynamic drag. When driving at most of the fuel is used to overcome the drag force, thus aerodynamic drag proves an area of interest to study to develop an efficient tractor-trailer design. Tractor-trailers are equipped with standard add-on components such as roof defectors, boat tails and side skirts. Modification of these components helps reduce drag coefficient and improve fuel efficiency. The objective of this study is to determine the most effective geometry of trailer add-on devices in semi-truck trailer design to reduce the drag coefficient to improve fuel efficiency and vehicle stability. The methodology consisted of CFD analysis on Mercedes Benz Actros using ANSYS FLUENT. The simulation was performed on the tractor-trailer at a speed of 30m/s. The analysis was performed with various types of add-on devices such as side skirts, boat tail and vortex generators. From the simulation results, it was observed that addition of tractor-trailer add-on devices proved beneficial over modifying trailer geometry. Combination of add-on devices in the trailer underbody, rear and front sections was more beneficial in reducing drag coefficient as compared to their individual application. Improving fuel efficiency by 17.74%. Stability of the tractor-trailer is improved due to the add-on devices creating a streamlined body and reducing the low-pressure region at the rear end of the trailer.
