 Abstract

This article explores several layers of tension presented in the story ‘The Hungry Stones’ by Rabindranath Tagore. Using a unique narrative technique of storytelling through multiple narrators the writer here describes the uncanny experiences of an unnamed educated Bengali gentleman Babu while working as a cotton tax collector in the middle province of British colonial India. Spending lonely nights in a deserted marble palace far from the neighbouring locality, this man experiences the presence of women around him wearing clothes as described in the famous book The Arabian Nights. But these women are invisible to him. He mostly feels their presence while being asleep. So they appear supernatural to him. These experiences come to him in the forms of dream. This man is Indian inside but dressed and educated in Western style outwardly. By using Freudian theory of psychoanalysis this article is trying to explain the reason behind this nocturnal experiences completely rejecting the idea of supernatural.

 Abstract

This study aims to assess the impact of COVID-19 and identify the factors that influence consumer purchasing behavior when shopping online. Conceptual and empirical studies on consumer behavior when shopping online were reviewed. A literature search was conducted using a term-based search approach limited to a specific period and a specific online database. Commonalities and trends are group variables influencing consumer buying behavior when shopping online. The research shows that several key factors of online and offline purchases have influenced consumer purchasing behavior because of the COVID-19 crisis. By examining the factors, policymakers can allocate resources to develop measures to improve the consumer experience. It will be interesting to see if the above variables are further explored in the future. Researchers, academics, and those working in the field of consumer behavior will benefit from this study to understand the many aspects that influence consumer behavior.

 Abstract

After independence, the Condition of women in India has developed. Almost half of India's population is female. A civilization or culture that does not respect and esteem women cannot be deemed civilized. New legislation and regulations in India have increased the number of opportunities for women's empowerment. Once the country won its independence, women were also granted the universal suffrage. Nevertheless, the proportion of women serving in the Lok Sabha and the Parliament is progressively growing. This has led to an increase in the participation of women in politics, and this article examines this tendency. It examines the evolution of women's political power and the history of the feminist movement. It also investigates probable factors for women's underrepresentation in politics. The essay also discusses Indian women's political advancement and future potential

The paper outlines the significant elements of nature that formulates the life of Australian squatters. The lives of pastoral community is intricately woven into a rugged Australian fabric that regulates the human activities in Talbingo. When viewed from an Ecocritical lens, the close association of the Australian pastoral community with their land is vividly presented by Miles Franklin in her Trilogy - Up the Country ( 1928), Ten Creeks Run( 1930) and Cockatoos( 1954).

Document verification and validation are crucial components of the accreditation process undertaken by NAAC. Both document verification and validation are crucial steps in the accreditation process, as they help NAAC assess the quality and credibility of the institution. Institutions are required to submit a range of documents, including academic records, financial statements, infrastructure and facilities details, faculty and staff profiles, and student feedback. NAAC verifies and validates these documents to ensure that the institution meets the required standards and is eligible for accreditation.Documentation and report writing are often used as assessment tools in higher education institutes.They facilitate communication, assessment, accreditation, legal compliance, and research, all of which contribute to the success and effectiveness of educational institutions.

 Abstract

The hegemonic structures which establish themselves on the basis of ‘Othering use the human body as one of the primary tools while creating this distinction. Skin color, size, appearance, linguistics and other physical aspects have, in most cases, proved to be the most important tools used by those in power to create the division while generating a feeling of submission within the subaltern. One such discrimination which was not even a critical discourse till post-1970s is the segregation of persons with disabilities. While other differences have now been significantly refashioned as the potentiality of alternative modes of being, social constructivism continues to resist including disability as an alternate becoming. The majority of our extant critical theories have continued to ignore disability in their theories of queer, gender, racialized, classed, sexualized, environmentalist and intersectionalist approaches to questions of embodiment. Literature has engaged with the idea of the body being the nucleus of discrimination since centuries. The existence of ‘non-normative’ characters in many epics, plays and novels serves as proof of that. A novel that deals with the ‘What is normative?’ debate, as early as in the 18th century is Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels. Among one of the most widely read books around the world with multiple theatrical and cinematic adaptations available, Gulliver’s Travels is hardly ever been interrogated from the disability perspective. Through the dreamlike experiences of the protagonist Gulliver, the novel establishes that an individual’s appearance is not governed as much by their bodily differences as by their socio-cultural placement. When placed within an alien environment, Gulliver’s normativeness is disrupted and the distinction between normal and non-normal gets blurred. The paper will closely examine Gulliver’s Travels from the lens of Disability Studies to academically establish that ‘normal’ is a hegemo nic construct.

सारांश: चुनाव लोकतांत्रिक शासन प्रणाली की आत्मा होती है। मतदाता राष्ट्रीय एवं क्षेत्रीय मुद्दों सहित अन्य कारकों से संचालित होकर समय-समय पर सरकार का निर्वाचन करते हैं। मतदान व्यवहार चुनावी व्यवहार का एक रूप है। मतदाताओं के व्यवहार को समझने से यह स्पष्ट हो सकता है कि सार्वजनिक निर्णयकर्ताओं द्वारा निर्णय कैसे और क्यों लिए गए। सामान्यतः भारत में, मतदान करते समय मतदाता व्यक्ति की कार्यकुशलता, नैतिकता, पार्टी सिद्धांत, चरित्र अदि को महत्त्व देने की बजाय जाति, धर्म, क्षेत्र और धन को महत्त्व देते हैं।

 Abstract

Nanorobotics is the technology of producing robots or machines with very small scale or miniscule of a nanometer (10-9 meters), machines constructed at the molecular level (Nano machines) may be used to detect or identify and cure the human body of its various diseases like cancer. Nano robots are very good accuracy they perform a specific task with great accuracy and precision at very small scale or nanoscale dimensions. Nano robots are especially used for studies on treatment of varies diseases like osteosclerosis, cancer treatments. Nanotechnology offers many applications such as microscopic robots that assemble other machines or travel inside the body to deliver drugs or API or do microsurgery. Current treatment includes surgeries which are considered outdated when compared to nanotechnology or nanorobotics technology.

 Abstract

Skin infection diseases due to hazardous chemicals are more usual as compared to other common skin diseases in our society. The human beings encounter with diseases due to hazardous chemicals because of distinct environmental aspect present in the world and absence of individual care or other factors such as chemicals present in daily use products. The experience and proficiency of the doctor/pathologist determine accurate diagnosis of skin diseases, as inaccurate diagnosis leads to financial damage and adverse health effects on the patient. In our proposed research work, we will deal with the identification of skin diseases due to hazardous chemicals present in daily use product/chemicals such as pesticides, cosmetics, detergent, paint, sanitizer, petrol, diesel etc with machine learning algorithms. Convolution neural network is main approach of skin disease identification with efficient deep learning network model having best accuracy rate. Our hazardous chemicals skin disease identification model will utilized large number of images for training the network using ISIC dataset. The AlexNet, ResNet, VGGNet, Inception, DenseNet, MobileNet, Googlenet or any other efficient network will be used to conclude our proposed research work.
