 Abstract

Previously unsolvable cases are now solved easily with the development of the field of medical jurisprudence. It covers in its ambit the provision of evidence for a wide range and scope of cases. Medical certificates are a crucial piece of documentary evidence but are treated as opinions by the Court of laws. The following paper seeks to elucidate on the legal issues involved in using medical certificates as genuine pieces of evidence and how courts have over the years used them to reach conclusions to facilitate justice. We will also shed light on the legal pre-requisites for issuing medical certificates, issued by National and State Medical Councils. These legal guidelines are largely followed today, yet medical certificates continue to be treated as secondary pieces of evidence due to lack of a holistic statute on issuance of medical certificate.

 Abstract

The rapid degradation of the global environment, the intensification of social inequalities, and the far-reaching impacts of industrialization have elevated sustainability to a central position in philosophical, ethical, political, and economic discussions. Corporations, as predominant socio-economic entities, bear substantial accountability for the circumstances that have led to ecological crises and social inequities. This scholarly article investigates the ethical obligations of corporations concerning sustainability through the prism of applied ethics and philosophical discourse. It posits that corporate sustainability ought to be regarded not solely as a strategic business decision but as a moral imperative rooted in deontological, utilitarian, virtue-oriented, and justice-focused ethical paradigms. Through comprehensive discussions, case analyses, and theoretical critiques, the article demonstrates that ethical sustainability necessitates that corporations integrate long-term ecological stewardship, social responsibility, equitable resource allocation, and transparent accountability into their operational principles. The article concludes by proposing a cohesive ethical framework for corporate sustainability and recommends the policy, structural, and philosophical reforms essential for embedding sustainability as a fundamental element of corporate ethics.

 Abstract

The present investigation was carried out at Banana Research Station, Nanded. "Studies on plant geometry and levels of potassium on growth, yield and quality of banana (Musa acuminata L.)", for two trial years. In the present experiment, there were four main treatments of plant density, viz. D1 (1.5 m x 1.2 m), D2 (1.5 m x 1.5 m), D3 (1.5 m x 1.8 m) and D4 (1.5 m x 2.1 m), three sub- treatment of potassium levels, viz. K1 (100 g K2 O/plant), K2 (200 g K2O/plant), K3 (300 g K2O/plant) and thus comprising twelve treatment combinations. From the results obtained in the present investigation, it can be revealed that the treatment D3 (1.5 m x 1.8 m i. e.3703 plants/ha) required minimum days to emergence of inflorescence (246.83) which was at par with treatment D21.5 m x 1.5 m (4444 plants/ha) (247.33). The treatment D4 (1.5 m x 2.1 m i. e. 3174 plants/ha) required maximum days to emergence of inflorescence (257.39) which was at par with treatment D11.5 m x 1.2 m (5555 plants/ha) (252.00). The minimum days to emergence of inflorescence required in treatment K3 (300g K2O/plant) (245.58). The treatment K1 (100g K2O/plant) required maximum days to emergence of inflorescence (257.13). The interaction effects of plant densities and potassium levels on days to emergence of inflorescence of banana found to be non significant.

 Abstract

This manuscript presents a comprehensive, fully rewritten academic review of women's health among tribal communities in India, focusing on maternal health disparities, cultural determinants, structural barriers, and the broader socio-economic context shaping these outcomes. Grounded in evidence from multiple regions and decades of public health research, the review analyzes how geographical isolation, traditional practices, nutritional deficiencies, and limited access to healthcare systems contribute to persistent inequalities. Emphasis is placed on maternal mortality, antenatal and postnatal care utilization, reproductive autonomy, and health-seeking behaviors among tribal women. The manuscript synthesizes academic literature to present a multidimensional understanding of why tribal women in India continue to experience disproportionate burdens of ill health and what interventions may be required to improve outcomes.

Abstract The present study aimed to investigate the differences in emotional competence between only children and children with siblings. The sample consisted of 200 participants (100 males and 100 females) aged between 18 and 20 years, drawn from Pune city, Maharashtra. The 'Scale of Emotional Competence' developed by Sharma and Bharadwaj (1995) was administered to assess emotional competence. Data were analyzed using an independent samples 't'-test to compare the mean scores of the two groups. The results revealed no significant difference in the emotional competence of only children and children with siblings.

The effectiveness of Ashram schools in Maharashtra depends not only on their structure but also on the quality of policy execution and utilization of financial resources. This 2016 study explores how government grants aimed at improving educational outcomes in Ashram schools were implemented in Satara district. It assesses fund allocation versus utilization, administrative responsiveness, and impact on student retention, academic achievement, and inclusive practices. With mixed-method data, this paper reveals the gaps between intended policy outcomes and ground realities, and offers recommendations for data-driven and accountable reforms.

 Abstract

Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have sparked renewed interest in creating systems that learn and reason like humans. Many of these breakthroughs have stemmed from deep neural networks trained end-to-end on tasks like object recognition, playing video games, and board games--often achieving or surpassing human-level performance. However, despite being inspired by biological systems and demonstrating impressive results, these AI models still differ significantly from human intelligence. Insights from cognitive science suggest that to build machines that truly think and learn like people, we must move beyond current engineering trends in both the content and methods of learning. We argue that such systems should: (a) construct causal models of the world to enable explanation and deep understanding, not just pattern recognition; (b) base learning on intuitive theories of physics and psychology to provide a richer foundation for acquiring knowledge; and (c) leverage compositionality and meta-learning ("learning-to-learn") to enable rapid knowledge acquisition and flexible generalization across new tasks and environments. We outline specific challenges and offer potential directions for integrating the strengths of modern neural networks with more structured, cognitively inspired models to advance toward these goals.
