Sivaretnam, S Ideology plays a major role in executing any inherent intentions which is to be implemented. It is common in social politics and governance. Racism and religious sects have been unavoidable roots in establishing the identity in Sri Lanka political history. The terms Sinhala and Tamil have been two major ideologies which constructed the identity politics in Sri Lanka. There have been numerous researches have been carried out based on language, economy, migration, university entrance and the so forth. This research intends to analyze the political phenomenon based on ideology. As this is a descriptive research qualitative research design was employed. Data were collected from selective secondary sources and peripheral readings focusing on the specific topic. Based on the data, the intensified concepts were analyzed qualitatively engulfing the political experiences. The research has concluded discovering the real factors behind the identity politics in Sri Lanka throughout the years. 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z http://www.digital.lib.esn.ac.lk//handle/1234/14595 நல்லொழுக்கமுள்ள மாணவ சமுதாயத்தை உருவாக்குவதில் ஸ்டொய்க்கியவாதத்தின் பங்களிப்பு - ஒரு விபரண ஆய்வு Prahasan, Marimuthu In this contemporary period, due to the influence of science, information technology development and globalization, it has been estimated that education that can provide employment and economic benefits is valuable. The commercialized, profit-seeking activities of those who receive this education have a negative impact on human values, which can be harmful to humanity in the long run. A lack of personal and social morals and the creation of a culture of violence are prominent among these. Moral education can make a positive contribution in correcting violent attitudes and guiding good life. In such a situation, it is considered necessary to provide high quality and practical moral education to the students. Philosophy has the potential to provide common values for all to live in pluralistic societies. Various schools of thought in the history of philosophy can be attributed to this. Thoughts on human well-being are a distinctive feature of ancient philosophy. Among these is Stoicism, which dates back to the Hellenistic period, as a theoretical movement that offers guidelines for individual and social well-being. In the contemporary situation, the question of whether it is possible to create a universal society through ethical norms that transcend religious boundaries is also the basic problem for conducting this study. In this context, this study aims to investigate and reveal the possibilities of applying Stoicism to bring about a holistic change in the thinking, feeling and behavior of the student community and develop morally. The study has been carried out qualitatively by analyzing selected philosophical texts as secondary sources. In a society where efforts are being made to educate the youth to be virtuous, the findings of this study will be useful for parents and educators. 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z http://www.digital.lib.esn.ac.lk//handle/1234/14594 இந்து சமயத்திலும் இஸ்லாமிய சமயத்திலும் கெடுதி பற்றிய பிரச்சினை – ஒரு ஒப்பீட்டாய்வு Mathiseelan, K The problem of evil is one of the significant problems being discussed in the realm of philosophy of religion and this problem has importance in ethics as well. Recent studies revealed that issues related to evil are still unanswerable to date and this condition was created by Christianity and Zoroastrianism. The problem of evil in the Eastern Philosophical traditions was not much influential as in the Western philosophical and religious systems due to the former ones have assimilated the existence of God and evil as non-contradictory elements into their systems. Even though the Islamic religion shares many characteristics with Christianity as Semitic tradition. The problem of evil was not seriously conceived in the Islamic religion even though Islam upholds monotheism. In this background, this study compares and analyses the problem of evil in the two religions (Hinduism and Islam) which originated in different social and cultural contexts. For Hinduism, this study limits its scope to Saiva Siddhanta, the prominent philosophical development of Hinduism, and the problem of Evil narrated in the Holy Quran of Islam. For Saiva Siddhanta, Three malas (three impurities) are conceived as evils and Aanava(ego, I-ness) makes primarily the souls impure. As per Saiva Siddhanta, three Malas ( aanava, kanma and maya) cause for birth and death of souls. Kanma Malam is the basis for the consequences of Birth and maya mala causes for actions of souls by giving the body, organs, the world, and enjoyment. Kanma determines the actions of souls and Saiva Siddhanta conceives that evil is caused by former and present births. It is noteworthy that there are many similar ideas between the two religions on the concept of evil. 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z http://www.digital.lib.esn.ac.lk//handle/1234/14593 Coastline change detection adjacent to Salli GN Division in Trincomalee, Sri Lanka Pathmanandakumar, V Monitoring shoreline is importantt for planning and development in the coastal region. This research aims to detect and analyze the rate of shoreline changes in the Salli Grama Niladhari (GN) division between 1991 and 2021. In this study, the shoreline change rate along the coastline was analyzed using multi-temporal Landsat imagery and the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS). The analysis revealed a significant rate of both accretion and erosion along the coast of the study area. Remotely acquired, multi-temporal Landsat images with 30 m resolution were collected at 10-year intervals from 1991 to 2021. To perform the quantitative analysis of shoreline delineation, geometric and radiometric corrections were applied to all Landsat images. Shorelines were then automatically extracted in ArcGIS 10.8 using the Tasseled Cap (Landsat toolbox), and the rate of shoreline change was analyzed using the Digital Shoreline Analysis System extension. End Point Rates and Linear Regression Rates were used to calculate the net rate of shoreline change over 30 years from 1991-2021. The rates of shoreline change and net movement along transects were determined. Two hundred twenty-one transects at 20m intervals were cast for the entire coast of the study area, the bulk of which revealed coastline erosion (78.6%). The analysis showed that some parts of the research area experience remarkable shoreline changes (averagely 0.237m/yr accretion and -0.676 m/yr erosion base on Linear Regression Rates and 0.28 m/yr accretion and -0.671 m/yr erosion based on End Point Rates) between 1991 and 2021. The combined effects of the different natural and human activities on the coast of the study area have caused this shoreline change. An "erosion" type coast can be seen in the study area and coastal protection is therefore considered important for this area as well. 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z
