தாட்சணியம்

தாட்சணியம் என்ற பதத்திற்கு நேரான ஒரு சொல் இந்தோ ஐரோப்பிய மொழிகளில் வழங்குகிறதா என்று தேடிப் பிடிக்கவேண்டும். சொல்லையும் சொல்லின் ஒலியமைப்பையும் நோக்க அது முற்றிலும் இந்தியச் சொல் என்பது புரியும்.

இதில் ஒரே எழுத்துமட்டுமே திரிந்து நிற்கின்றது.  க என்ற எழுத்து ச என்று மாறியுள்ளது.

இப்போது தாட்கணியம் என்று பிற்செலவு (  reverse     ) மேற்கொள்வோம்.

இதைப் பிரித்தால்  தாள் + கு + அணி + அம் என்றாகும்.

அம்மையின்  அல்லது தேவியின் தாள்களுக்கு ( இணையடிகட்கு) அணியாக  ‍  அழகாக விளங்குவது  எது ?   அது இரக்கமே ஆகும்.  எந்தக்  காலணியை அவளுக்குப் பூட்டினும்,  அவ்வணி பற்றனுக்கு (இறைப்பற்றாளனுக்கு அல்லது  பகதனுக்கு ) வழங்கப்படும்  இரக்கத்தை அடிப்படையாகக்  கொண்ட அருளையே குறிப்பதாகும்.

இங்ஙனம், தாட்கணியம் >   தாட்சணியம் என  இச்சொல்லுக்கு தயை  செய்தல்  என்ற பொருள் எற்பட்டது.

ககரம் சகரம் ஒன்றுக்கொன்று  மாறாக  நிற்கவல்லவை. பல உலக மொழிகளில்  க ‍ > ச திரிபு பெருவரவு ஆகும்


Notes:

அணியம் -  may also be interpreted as "readiness"  - i.e., readiness to come to help. .

Double your five-a-day fruit and veg to live longer, study finds

A healthy diet should include 10 portions of fruit and vegetables a day, doubling the five-a-day official advice, say British health experts.

The research, which involved a 12-year study, also found that vegetables were four times healthier than fruit.

The study, by University College London, found that eating large quantities of fruit and vegetables significantly lowered the risk of premature death. People who ate at least seven portions of fruit and vegetables each day were 42 per cent less likely to die from any cause over the course of the study.

The researchers also discovered that canned and frozen fruit increased the risk of dying by 17 per cent, and fruit juice was found to have no significant benefit.

The findings suggest that the five-a-day recommendation, suggested by the World Health Organisation and backed by the Government and NHS, is not adequate - although only 30 per cent of people manage to eat that amount.

Experts said that even seven-a-day was not enough and that 10 would be the optimum number, as the protective effect continued to increase with higher consumption.

The study's lead author, Dr Oyinlola Oyebode of UCLA's department of epidemiology and public health, said: "The clear message here is that the more fruit and vegetables you eat, the less likely you are to die at any age. My advice would be, however much you are eating now, eat more."

Health experts called on the Government to subsidise the cost of fruit and vegetables, which they suggested could be paid for by taxing sugary foods.

The five-a-day guidelines were based on World Health Organisation recommendations issued in 1990, which advised consuming 400g of fruit and vegetables each day to lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, type-two diabetes and obesity.

Prof Simon Capewell, of the department of public health at the University of Liverpool, said the advice should be 10 portions a day. "Humans are designed to be omnivorous: a handful of nuts, seeds, fruit and the occasional antelope. We're not meant to be eating junk food."

Researchers examined the eating habits of 65,000 people in England between 2001 and 2013.

They found that seven helpings a day of fruit or vegetables could reduce a person's overall risk of premature death by 42 per cent when compared with people who ate just one whole portion. 

People who ate between five and seven portions a day had a 36 per cent reduced risk of death, those who ate three to five portions had a 29 per cent decreased risk and those who ate one to three helpings had a 14 per cent reduced risk.

Those with the highest intakes were also 25 per cent less likely to die from cancer and 31 per cent less likely to die from heart disease.

"We need to urgently examine seriously the proposal to increase recommended intake to seven a day," said Naveed Sattar, professor of metabolic medicine at the University of Glasgow. "To implement a seven-a-day message would be really challenging for many in society and would require governmental support such as subsidising the cost of fruit and vegetables, perhaps by taxing sugar-rich foods."

The study also found that vegetables were far more beneficial than fruit. Each portion of vegetables lowered the risk of death by 16 per cent. However, each piece of fruit only lowered the chance of death by 4 per cent.

The authors said the findings lent support to the Australian government's advice of "two plus five" a day, which encourages people to eat two helpings of fruit and five of vegetables. Dr Alison Tedstone, the group's director of diet and obesity, said: "Our focus remains on increasing overall consumption of fruit and vegetables to meet current recommendations."

The study was published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.

London skeletons reveal secrets of the Black Death

March 30th, 2014 in Other Sciences / Archaeology & Fossils 

In this Wednesday, March 26, 2014 photo, some of the skeletons found by construction workers under central London's Charterhouse Square are pictured. Twenty-five skeletons were uncovered last year during work on Crossrail, a new rail line that's boring 13 miles (21 kilometers) of tunnels under the heart of the city. Archaeologists immediately suspected the bones came from a cemetery for victims of the bubonic plague that ravaged Europe in the 14th century.

You can learn a lot from a tooth. Molars taken from skeletons unearthed by work on a new London railway line are revealing secrets of the medieval Black Deathand of its victims.

This week, Don Walker, an osteologist with the Museum of London, outlined the biography of one man whose ancient bones were found by construction workers under London's Charterhouse Square: He was breast-fed as a baby, moved to London from another part of England, had bad tooth decay in childhood, grew up to work as a laborer, and died in early adulthood from thebubonic plague that ravaged Europe in the 14th century.

The poor man's life was nasty, brutish and short, but his afterlife is long and illuminating.

"It's fantastic we can look in such detail at an individual who died 600 years ago," Walker said. "It's incredible, really."

The 25 skeletons were uncovered last year during work on Crossrail, a new rail line that's boring 13 miles (21 kilometers) of tunnels under the heart of the city. Archaeologists immediately suspected the bones came from a cemetery for plague victims. The location, outside the walls of the medieval city, chimes with historical accounts. The square, once home to a monastery, is one of the few spots in the city to stay undisturbed for centuries.

To test their theory, scientists took one tooth from each of 12 skeletons, then extracted DNA from the teeth. They announced Sunday that tests had found the presence of the plague bacterium, Yersinia pestis, in several of the teeth, meaning the individuals had been exposed toand likely died fromthe Black Death.

The findings didn't stop there. Archaeologists, historians, microbiologists and physicists worked together to apply techniques from several scientific disciplines to the discovery.
