 Abstract

This paper focuses on Ecological aspects through Literature with special reference to the novels of Ruskin Bond. The novels chosen for the eco- critical analysis in this Paper are The Room on the Roof (1956), Vagrants in the Valley (1987), An Island of Trees (1992), Book of Nature(2003). Ecology is the study of the relationships between living organisms, including humans, and their physical environment. One of the biggest problems facing the world today is global warming. Many experts believe that production of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are the cause of heating in the atmosphere, which is very dangerous to human life. The important solution is to plant more trees. Trees absorb C02 and produce oxygen, which is not a greenhouse gas. To protect environment, many Writers have been inspiring through their writings and thereby trying to bring awareness and reduce global warming. Ruskin Bond is an environment conscious writer and the themes in his novels reflect the association and harmony that exists between fauna and flora and ways to enhance the awareness in the society.

 Abstract

Ethosomes are non-invasive delivery devices that allow drugs to reach the deeper layers of the skin and the systemic circulation. Although ethosomal systems are conceptually advanced, their preparation is a simple and safe combination that can greatly expand their application. Ethosomes are soft, malleable vesicles adapted to improve the transport of active substances. Due to their unique structure, Ethosomes are able to encapsulate and carry through the skin very lipophilic molecules such as cannabinoids, testosterone and minoxidil, as well as cationic drugs such as propranolol, trihexaphenidyl, cyclosporine, insulin, salbutamol. Enhanced transport of bioactive molecules through the skin and cell membranes by an ethosomal carrier opens up many challenges and opportunities for research and further development of new, improved therapies. Ethosomes are gaining popularity in the design of drug delivery systems for topical and transdermal use because they can reach deep skin layers and systemic circulation. Although conceptually advanced, Ethosomes are easy to make and safe to use. Although very efficient, Ethosomes offer the potential for expanding applications. The purpose of the review is to give an in-depth overview of the properties and preparation of Ethosomes, followed by a characterization and list of drugs encapsulated in Ethosomes over the last 15 years

 Abstract

The catastrophic impact of stressed assets coupled with the obvious provisioning and hence a hit on the bottom line of the financial institutions has taken its toll on the banking sector in India making it reel under it. A healthy banking sector functioning smoothly and profitably is a sine qua non for any growing economy but for India it is the mythological "elixir". Statistics show that credit growth is linked with the growth of economy and vice versa. The stressed assets hit the very nerve of it. Tougher BASEL norms vying for strict and upward provisioning against bad debts leave the banking sector in peril as they huff and puff for more capital. The Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (SARFAESI Act 2002.) came as a breather at the early stage of the new millennium. It was touted as a go for all type of legislation for banking institutions given its objective of recovering bad debts without intervention of the courts in India. This paper makes an attempt to ascertain its impact viz a viz other modes of recovery mechanism in bringing down the quantity of stressed asset.

 Abstract

The human culture in the Sundarbans region of Lower Bengal continues to fluctuate, mixing and acculturate with the arrival and departure of various communities. In this land dominated by lower caste Hindus, the trend of mixed culture has developed with the arrival of muslim, christian and tribal people. With the arrival of the Portuguese and British, many people of Lower Bengal became Christians. Apart from highlighting the socio-cultural characteristics of this Christian community, various aspects of acculturation of these regional cultures have been explored. Basically it was not possible for the people of this region to completely assimilate the foreign Christian culture. Because of the culture obtained by conversion was not fully able to influence the place of their previous traditional culture. Even though the Christian people of this region tried to adopt foreign customs and traditions, there naturally existed in them various characteristics of local culture. The expression of these regional characteristics is particularly prevalent with little variation in food, speech, dress and manners. The local character of the Bengali language is reflected in the conversation. Social customs, worship of regional deities, etc. continue to flow with the amalgamation of cultural traits.

 Abstract

Recent advances in synthetic data have enabled the generation of images with such high quality that human beings cannot distinguish the difference between real-life photographs and Artificial Intelligence (AI) generated images. Given the critical necessity of data reliability and authentication, this article proposes to enhance our ability to recognise AI-generated images through computer vision. Initially, a synthetic dataset is generated that mirrors the ten classes of the already available CIFAR-10 dataset with latent diffusion, providing a contrasting set of images for comparison to real photographs. The model is capable of generating complex visual attributes, such as photorealistic reflections in water. The two sets of data present as a binary classification problem with regard to whether the photograph is real or generated by AI. This study then proposes the use of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to classify the images into two categories; Real or Fake. Following hyperparameter tuning and the training of 36 individual network topologies, the optimal approach could correctly classify the images with 92.98% accuracy. Finally, this study implements explainable AI via Gradient Class Activation Mapping to explore which features within the images are useful for classification. Interpretation reveals interesting concepts within the image, in particular, noting that the actual entity itself does not hold useful information for classification; instead, the model focuses on small visual imperfections in the background of the images. The complete dataset engineered for this study, referred to as the CIFAKE dataset, is made publicly available to the research community for future work.

Abstract: The oral poetry mirrors the socio-cultural, religious and economic life patterns of the communities. Its documentation is an authentic source of knowledge. SitakantMohapatra, a true son of the soil, an administrator, and a poet from Odisha, has travelled and dived deep into the language, culture and tradition of the various tribal communities like the Santhals, the Kandhas, the Mundas, the Parajas, the Hos, the Oraons etc. and collected and translated their oral poetry. These oral songs depict the life, the way of the world of the various tribes, like birth, death, love, sex, marriage, fate, god, eternity, spirituality, rites, rituals and celebrations that are different from clan to clan, village to village. The poet has toil hard to understand the wisdom of the different tribal communities and the nuances and layers in their oral songs. The poet has also showed great reverence and appreciated their immense perseverance. This paper will reflect Mohapatra's efforts to make tribal oral poetry open to the world and a sturdy commitment towards authentic documentation.
