‘Low Patriarchy’ and Feminine Emotional Intelligence in R. K. Narayan’s Grandmother’s Tale

Abstract

Within patriarchy men enjoy almost absolute authority that relegates women to a seemingly powerless entity. India is a case in point.

Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of some new N-(aryl-oxo-alkyl)-5-arylidene-thiazolidine-2,4-diones

“…6 Besides showing a remarkable antidiabetic activity by binding with PPARγ, heterocyclic compounds bearing thiazolidine--2,4-dione moiety with substitution at the fifth position can reduce oxidative stress and inhibit intracellular free radical overproduction. 7 They also have inhibitory effects on monocyte/macrophage activation, the expression of inflammatory molecules 8 and tyrosinase activity. 9 It was reported that 5-arylidene-2,4--thiazolidinediones can act as potentially promising 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase inhibitors, 10 inhibitors of MurD ligase 11 and antimicrobial agents.…”
