 Abstract

In the digital age, online ratings and reviews have emerged as crucial factors influencing consumer decision-making, particularly in the purchase of durable products. This study explores the impact of online reviews and ratings on the pre-purchase behavior of consumers in Coimbatore city, a major industrial and commercial hub in South India. Durable goods, which typically involve high investment and long-term use, prompt consumers to seek extensive information before purchase. The research examines how consumers in Coimbatore access and interpret online feedback, the degree of trust they place in user-generated content, and how such content shapes their buying intentions. A combination of primary data collection through surveys and secondary data analysis has been used to understand behavioral patterns. The findings indicate a strong correlation between positive online reviews and increased purchase intent, while negative feedback often leads to reconsideration or brand-switching.

 Abstract

In Buddhist cosmology, the historical figure Siddhartha Gautama, commonly known as the Buddha, is not regarded as the only individual to have attained enlightenment and taught the Dharma (the path to liberation). Instead, Buddhist scriptures and traditions speak of a lineage of "former Buddhas"--enlightened beings who appeared in previous eras to guide sentient beings toward liberation from suffering. This concept underscores the timeless nature of the Dharma and the recurring emergence of Buddhas across vast cycles of time. This article explores the idea of former Buddhas, their significance in Buddhist thought, and the textual as well as archaeological evidence supporting their historical existence.

 Abstract

This research critically examines the legal, social, and historical dimensions of marital rape in India, focusing on the paradox where rape is criminalized, yet non-consensual sex within marriage remains legally exempt under Section 375 of the Indian Penal Code. Despite progressive amendments to Indian rape laws post-2013, marital rape continues to be excluded from criminal prosecution, leaving married women vulnerable and without legal recourse. The paper explores international and domestic legal perspectives, relevant case law, and survivors' personal narratives, highlighting the psychological trauma and societal stigmatization faced by victims. Through a sociological and legal lens, the study exposes how patriarchal norms and the notion of implied spousal consent suppress women's autonomy and sexual rights. Drawing comparisons with jurisdictions that have criminalized marital rape, it argues for the urgent removal of the marital rape exception, aligning Indian law with constitutional principles of dignity, equality, and bodily autonomy. The study concludes with policy and educational recommendations to reform laws, sensitize the judiciary and society, and uphold the rights and dignity of married women.

 Abstract

Pneumonia remains a significant global health challenge, with chest X-rays serving as a critical diagnostic tool. However, accurate and timely diagnosis often requires expert radiologists, who may not be readily available in all settings. Pneumonia is most prevalent in underdeveloped and developing countries, where factors such as overpopulation, air pollution, and unhygienic environmental conditions exacerbate the spread and severity of the disease, while medical resources remain scarce. Therefore, early diagnosis and effective management can play a pivotal role in preventing the disease from becoming fatal. This paper surveys the effectiveness of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), particularly ResNet-50 and VGG-16, in automating the detection of pneumonia from chest X-ray images. We evaluate the integration of these pre-trained models with various techniques such as data augmentation, preprocessing, and transfer learning, and discuss how these methods enhance the classification performance. The proposed models, when combined with optimized classifiers such as Support Vector Machines (SVM), achieve high diagnostic accuracy, offering a promising and scalable solution for timely disease detection, particularly in remote, underserved, or resource-limited areas.
