Parana Journal of Science and Education. v.3, n.5, November (2017).

Summary

Herein a concise, “ethical system” is presented, based on the author’s life lasting scientific research, condensed in basically three books [Yarman, 1997; Yarman, 2010; Yarman, 2011], published respectively by Editions Quorum, Brussels, Nova Publishers, New York, and LAP Lambert, Germany. We would like to call it, “Cosmic Wholeness”, leading to our creation in the universe, throughout a most striking universal matter architecture. The cosmic wholeness we disclose, can ultimately be considered, as the basis for the definition of the “good” and, that of the “bad”, and amongst other things, the basis for asustainable energy development, and a healthy world environment, also a most stable World Peace.

Abstract

The proximate analysis and mineral composition were studied in tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) collected from Singur region of Hooghly district in West Bengal (India). The extract of the leaf was mixed with channa (a milk product) to prepare rasgulla, a famous traditional Indian sweet. The composition of the prepared rasgulla was studied and compared with the control (where the tulsi leaf extract was not mixed). Significant variation in composition was observed between control and experimental rasgullas. Our first order analysis exhibits a better/upgraded performance in terms of nutritional value of rasgulla, which may provide a wide avenue for the replication of such non-conventional sweet industry

Any kind of energy production not harmonious with Earth’s delicate and irreplaceable ecosystem constitutes harm to the fragile atmospheric and environmental stability of our planet. Furthermore, the disruption of the natural balance of our cradle might eventually threaten all life on Earth. Yet, most of the conventional energy production technologies fall into this category and supersede the harvesting of alternative energy resources more compatible with nature despite the devastating pollution they cause. Is the reason for this preference a purely financial one? We find this proposition not sincere at all. Whereas government-paid technocrats would have us believe that energy investments are the end result of painstakingly done technical studies based on years of meticulous research derived from immaculate scientific data, nothing could be further from the “truth”. In a world where “might makes right”, controlling energy is inevitably intertwined with casual politics, foul politics, and even, gory politics. The invasion – under the catchy title “Operation Iraqi Freedom” – of oilfields in Iraq by Coalition Forces in 2003, over the pretense that Saddam possessed weapons of mass destruction, can be seen as a thought-provoking validation of our statement. It is more suspect now than ever, that the world powers, although professing to uphold liberalism and democracy with zeal do not seem to care very much for “fair competition”, much less, “fair trade”, when dealing with cultures and civilizations alien to their own. To thisend, they are known to stop at nothing to acquire what they aim for, through deception, subterfuge, and even – as was the case with their colonialist forefathers – callous violence. Consequently, it is understandable that these capitalistic conglomerations would not want to relinquish their hegemony over conventional energy sources to “inferior” Third World countries, and, as such, reap the long-term economical benefits from monopolizing these and obstructing substantial investments into renewable energy. Although, these parties appear to champion democracy and liberty, they, in fact, fully realize the importance of steering the masses via the presses and broadcasting networks in the battle for world energy supremacy. A brief analysis of the impact on the hindrance of the relatively fast development and deployment of unconventional energy resources, and mainly hydrogen energy.
