`ಬದುಕುವ ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯ ರೂಪಿಸುವ ಶಿಕ್ಷಣ ಬೇಕು'
ಯಲಹಂಕ: ಸ್ಪರ್ಧಾತ್ಮಕ ಯುಗದಲ್ಲಿ ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳಿಗೆ ತಾಂತ್ರಿಕ ಶಿಕ್ಷಣ ನೀಡುವುದರ ಜೊತೆಗೆ ಬದುಕುವ ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯವನ್ನು ರೂಢಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವಂತಹ ಶಿಕ್ಷಣ ನೀಡಬೇಕು ಎಂದು ಸುಪ್ರೀಕೋರ್ಟ್‌ನ ನಿವೃತ್ತ ಮುಖ್ಯ ನ್ಯಾಯಮೂರ್ತಿ ಎಂ.ಎನ್.ವೆಂಕಟಾಚಲಯ್ಯ ಕರೆ ನೀಡಿದರು.
ಜಕ್ಕೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಜವಹರಲಾಲ್ ನೆಹರು ಉನ್ನತ ವಿಜ್ಞಾನ ಸಂಶೋಧನಾ ಕೇಂದ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರೊ.ಸಿ.ಎನ್.ಆರ್.ರಾವ್ ಅವರ `ಮಿತಿಯಿಲ್ಲದ ಏಣಿ`, `ನ್ಯಾನೊ ಪ್ರಪಂಚ`, `ನ್ಯಾನೊ ವರ್ಲ್ಡ್` ಪುಸ್ತಕಗಳನ್ನು ಬಿಡುಗಡೆ ಮಾಡಿ ಅವರು ಮಾತನಾಡಿದರು.
ಕೇವಲ ಅತ್ಯಾಧುನಿಕ ವಿಜ್ಞಾನ-ತಂತ್ರಜ್ಞಾನದ ಶಿಕ್ಷಣ ನೀಡುವುದರಿಂದ ಅವರಲ್ಲಿ ಜ್ಞಾನ ವೃದ್ಧಿಯಾಗಬಹುದು. ಆದರೆ ಬದುಕಲ್ಲಿ ಎದುರಾಗುವ ಸವಾಲುಗಳನ್ನು ನಿಭಾಯಿಸಲು ಮಾನಸಿಕ ಸಿದ್ಧತೆ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಬೇಕಾದ ಶಿಕ್ಷಣ ನೀಡುವುದು ಅತ್ಯಗತ್ಯ ಎಂದರು.
ದೇಶದ ಈಗಿನ ಶಿಕ್ಷಣ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆ ಸರಿಯಿಲ್ಲ ಮತ್ತು ವಿಜ್ಞಾನದ ಮೇಲೆ ಬೆಳಕು ಚೆಲ್ಲುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ. ಆರ್ಥಿಕ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಯನ್ನು ಮನಸ್ಸಿನಲ್ಲಿಟ್ಟುಕೊಂಡು ಶಿಕ್ಷಣವನ್ನು ವ್ಯಾಪಾರೀಕರಣಗೊಳಿಸಲು ಹೊರಟಿದ್ದೇವೆ ಎಂದು ವಿಷಾದಿಸಿದ ಅವರು, ಕೇವಲ ತಲಾದಾಯವನ್ನು ಮಾತ್ರ ಗಮನದಲ್ಲಿಟ್ಟುಕೊಳ್ಳದೆ ವಾಸ್ತವಿಕ ಪರಿಸ್ಥಿತಿಗೆ ಅನುಗುಣವಾಗಿ ಆರ್ಥಿಕ ಪ್ರಗತಿಯನ್ನು ಮನಗಾಣಬೇಕು ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದರು.
ಪುಸ್ತಕಗಳನ್ನು ರಚಿಸಿರುವ ಲೇಖಕರು, ಭಾರತದ ಅತ್ಯುತ್ತಮ ವಿಜ್ಞಾನಿ ಗಳಲ್ಲೊಬ್ಬರು ಎಂದು ಪ್ರಶಂಸಿಸಿ, ಅವರು ತಮ್ಮ ಪುಸ್ತಕಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ನೀಡಿರುವ ಮಾಹಿತಿಯನ್ನು ಜನರು ಅರ್ಥಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ಮೂಲಕ ಅದರ ಪ್ರಯೋಜನ ಪಡೆಯಬೇಕು ಎಂದು ತಿಳಿಸಿದರು.
ಪುಸ್ತಕದ ಲೇಖಕರಾದ ಪ್ರೊ.ಸಿ.ಎನ್.ಆರ್.ರಾವ್ ಅವರು ಮಾತನಾಡಿ, ಯುವ ಜನಾಂಗಕ್ಕೆ ಮಾಹಿತಿಗಳು ದೊರೆಯಬೇಕೆಂಬ ಉದ್ದೇಶದಿಂದ ಈ ಪುಸ್ತಕಗಳನ್ನು ಬರೆದಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯ ಜ್ಞಾನಾರ್ಜನೆಗೆ ಅನುಕೂಲವಾಗುವಂತಹ ಕೃತಿಗಳನ್ನು ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಗಿ ರಚಿಸಬೇಕಾಗಿದೆ ಎಂದು ಅವರು ಹೇಳಿದರು.
ಶಿಕ್ಷಕರು ತಮ್ಮಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ಜ್ಞಾನವನ್ನು ಮಕ್ಕಳಿಗೆ ಧಾರೆಯೆರೆದಾಗ ಮಾತ್ರ ಅವರು ನಿಜವಾದ ಶಿಕ್ಷಕರೆನಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾರೆ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದರು.
ಪ್ರೊ.ರೊದ್ದಂ ನರಸಿಂಹ ಅವರು ಕೃತಿಗಳ ಪರಿಚಯ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಟ್ಟರು. ಕೇಂದ್ರದ ಅಧ್ಯಕ್ಷ ಪ್ರೊ.ಎಂ.ಆರ್.ಎಸ್.ರಾವ್ ಅಧ್ಯಕ್ಷತೆ ವಹಿಸಿದ್ದರು. ಅನುವಾದಕರಾದ ಡಾ.ಎಚ್.ಎಸ್.ನಿರಂಜನ ಆರಾಧ್ಯ, ಇಂದುಮತಿ ರಾವ್ ಮೊದಲಾದವರು ಉಪಸ್ಥಿತರಿದ್ದರು.

The Nobel Peace Prize for 2011
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2011 is to be divided in three equal parts between Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Leymah Gbowee and Tawakkul Karman for their non-violent struggle for the safety of women and for women’s rights to full participation in peace-building work. We cannot achieve democracy and lasting peace in the world unless women obtain the same opportunities as men to influence developments at all levels of society.
In October 2000, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1325. The resolution for the first time made violence against women in armed conflict an international security issue. It underlined the need for women to become participants on an equal footing with men in peace processes and in peace work in general.
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is Africa’s first democratically elected female president. Since her inauguration in 2006, she has contributed to securing peace in Liberia, to promoting economic and social development, and to strengthening the position of women. Leymah Gbowee mobilized and organized women across ethnic and religious dividing lines to bring an end to the long war in Liberia, and to ensure women’s participation in elections. She has since worked to enhance the influence of women in West Africa during and after war. In the most trying circumstances, both before and during the “Arab spring”, Tawakkul Karman has played a leading part in the struggle for women’s rights and for democracy and peace in Yemen.
It is the Norwegian Nobel Committee’s hope that the prize to Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Leymah Gbowee and Tawakkul Karman will help to bring an end to the suppression of women that still occurs in many countries, and to realise the great potential for democracy and peace that women can represent.

Biobibliographical notes
Tomas Tranströmer was born in Stockholm on 15 April 1931. His mother Helmy was a schoolteacher and his father Gösta Tranströmer a journalist. After graduating in 1950 from Södra Latin grammar school he studied literature history and poetics, the history of religion, and psychology at Stockholm University – subjects he took for his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1956. After completed academic studies, he was employed as an assistant at the Institution for Psychometrics at Stockholm University in 1957. In the following year, he married Monica Bladh. Between 1960 and 1966, he worked as a psychologist at Roxtuna, a youth correctional facility near Linköping. In 1980 he took a position at the Labour Market Institute (Arbetsmarknadsinstitutet) in Västerås. In 1990 Tranströmer suffered a stroke that left him largely unable to speak.
After publishing poems in a number of journals, Tranströmer published in 1954 17 dikter (17 poems) – one of the most acclaimed literary debuts of the decade. Already apparent was the interest in nature and music that has informed a major part of his production. With the following collections – Hemligheter på vägen (1958; Secrets along the way), Den halvfärdiga himlen (1962; The Half-Finished Heaven, 2001) and Klanger och spår (1966; see Windows & Stones : Selected Poems, 1972) – he consolidated his standing among critics and other readers as one of the leading poets of his generation.
A suite, Östersjöar (1974; Baltics, 1975), gathers fragments of a family chronicle from Runmarö Island in the Stockholm archipelago, where his maternal grandfather was a pilot and where Tranströmer has spent many summers since boyhood. His reminiscences from growing up in the 1930s and ‘40s are collected in a memoir, Minnena ser mig (1993; The memories see me).
Most of Tranströmer’s poetry collections are characterised by economy, concreteness and poignant metaphors. In his latest collections, Sorgegondolen (1996; The Sorrow Gondola, 1997) and Den stora gåtan (2004; The Great Enigma, 2006), Tranströmer has shifted towards an even smaller format and a higher degree of concentration.
Tranströmer was introduced in the United States by author Robert Bly as early as the 1960s. Since then, international interest in his poetry has grown and he has now been translated into more than sixty languages. Tranströmer has periodically published his own translations of poetry in other languages. A collection, entitled Tolkningar (Interpretations), was published in 1999.

Press Release
5 October 2011
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2011 to
Daniel Shechtman
Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel
"for the discovery of quasicrystals"
A remarkable mosaic of atoms
In quasicrystals, we find the fascinating mosaics of the Arabic world reproduced at the level of atoms: regular patterns that never repeat themselves. However, the configuration found in quasicrystals was considered impossible, and Daniel Shechtman had to fight a fierce battle against established science. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2011 has fundamentally altered how chemists conceive of solid matter.
On the morning of 8 April 1982, an image counter to the laws of nature appeared in Daniel Shechtman's electron microscope. In all solid matter, atoms were believed to be packed inside crystals in symmetrical patterns that were repeated periodically over and over again. For scientists, this repetition was required in order to obtain a crystal.
Shechtman's image, however, showed that the atoms in his crystal were packed in a pattern that could not be repeated. Such a pattern was considered just as impossible as creating a football using only six-cornered polygons, when a sphere needs both five- and six-cornered polygons. His discovery was extremely controversial. In the course of defending his findings, he was asked to leave his research group. However, his battle eventually forced scientists to reconsider their conception of the very nature of matter.
Aperiodic mosaics, such as those found in the medieval Islamic mosaics of the Alhambra Palace in Spain and the Darb-i Imam Shrine in Iran, have helped scientists understand what quasicrystals look like at the atomic level. In those mosaics, as in quasicrystals, the patterns are regular - they follow mathematical rules - but they never repeat themselves.
When scientists describe Shechtman's quasicrystals, they use a concept that comes from mathematics and art: the golden ratio. This number had already caught the interest of mathematicians in Ancient Greece, as it often appeared in geometry. In quasicrystals, for instance, the ratio of various distances between atoms is related to the golden mean.
Following Shechtman's discovery, scientists have produced other kinds of quasicrystals in the lab and discovered naturally occurring quasicrystals in mineral samples from a Russian river. A Swedish company has also found quasicrystals in a certain form of steel, where the crystals reinforce the material like armor. Scientists are currently experimenting with using quasicrystals in different products such as frying pans and diesel engines.

"for the discovery of the accelerating expansion of the Universe through observations of distant supernovae"
Written in the stars
"Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice..." *
What will be the final destiny of the Universe? Probably it will end in ice, if we are to believe this year's Nobel Laureates in Physics. They have studied several dozen exploding stars, called supernovae, and discovered that the Universe is expanding at an ever-accelerating rate. The discovery came as a complete surprise even to the Laureates themselves.
In 1998, cosmology was shaken at its foundations as two research teams presented their findings. Headed by Saul Perlmutter, one of the teams had set to work in 1988. Brian Schmidt headed another team, launched at the end of 1994, where Adam Riess was to play a crucial role.
The research teams raced to map the Universe by locating the most distant supernovae. More sophisticated telescopes on the ground and in space, as well as more powerful computers and new digital imaging sensors (CCD, Nobel Prize in Physics in 2009), opened the possibility in the 1990s to add more pieces to the cosmological puzzle.
The teams used a particular kind of supernova, called type Ia supernova. It is an explosion of an old compact star that is as heavy as the Sun but as small as the Earth. A single such supernova can emit as much light as a whole galaxy. All in all, the two research teams found over 50 distant supernovae whose light was weaker than expected - this was a sign that the expansion of the Universe was accelerating. The potential pitfalls had been numerous, and the scientists found reassurance in the fact that both groups had reached the same astonishing conclusion.
For almost a century, the Universe has been known to be expanding as a consequence of the Big Bang about 14 billion years ago. However, the discovery that this expansion is accelerating is astounding. If the expansion will continue to speed up the Universe will end in ice.
The acceleration is thought to be driven by dark energy, but what that dark energy is remains an enigma - perhaps the greatest in physics today. What is known is that dark energy constitutes about three quarters of the Universe. Therefore the findings of the 2011 Nobel Laureates in Physics have helped to unveil a Universe that to a large extent is unknown to science. And everything is possible again.
