 Abstract

Across societies, marriage is a revered sacrament, legally and socially acknowledged as a bond between a man and a woman. It remains grounded in the idea of eternal devotion between spouses. Galo tribe is one of the prominent tribes nestled across different districts of Arunachal Pradesh. In this article an attempt has been made to study the various types of wedding customs being practised among the Galos. In Galo society, every person has the freedom to select their own life partner. Parents generally allow their children with significant independence in choosing whom to marry. The research paper uses both the primary and secondary sources that has been gathered through interviews, observations, and case studies conducted among the listed Galo communities spread across the state of Arunachal Pradesh.

 Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds transformative potential for advancing social justice and empowering women across diverse social, economic, and political domains. As a tool, AI can help dismantle systemic barriers by improving women's access to healthcare, education, financial services, and job opportunities. However, for AI to truly serve as an instrument of empowerment, it must be developed and deployed through an inclusive, intersectional, and ethical framework that actively addresses and mitigates biases that can exacerbate gender inequality. This paper explores the dual role of AI in both promoting and potentially hindering women's empowerment. On one hand, AI applications tailored for health, safety, and economic inclusion can provide women with critical resources and autonomy. On the other, biased algorithms, lack of diversity in AI development, and inadequate privacy protections pose significant risks, particularly to marginalized women. Through examining real-world applications, challenges, ethical considerations, and case studies, this paper highlights the pressing need for gender-sensitive AI policies, diverse development teams, transparent algorithmic accountability, and robust privacy laws. Emphasizing social justice in AI's design and implementation will ensure that women are not just passive recipients of AI advancements but active beneficiaries and contributors in a more equitable technological future.

Competency-Based Education (CBE) is an evolving approach that emphasizes mastery of skills over traditional grading. This study explores teacher educators' perspectives on the implementation and impact of CBE in curriculum innovation. Using a survey research design, data were collected from 250 teacher educators across various institutions. Statistical analysis, including descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, and regression analysis, was conducted to assess their awareness, attitudes, and perceived challenges. Results indicate that 78% of respondents support CBE, with younger educators (M=4.2, SD=0.8) showing significantly higher awareness than older counterparts (M=3.8, SD=0.9, p=0.03). Educators with less than 10 years of experience (M=4.3, SD=0.7) were more receptive to CBE than those with more experience (M=3.9, SD=0.8, p=0.02). Institutional support was a significant predictor of CBE adoption (?=0.45, p<0.01). The study offers insights for policymakers and educators to enhance competency-driven curricula in teacher training programs.

 Abstract

Road transport means carrying men and materials from one place to another place on the public or private roadways. Road transport is the fastest mode of transport to travel and deliver the goods quickly by the use of roads laid down by modern sophisticated technology. Road transport is the only transport which is simple and cheapest to reach all the places including remote areas. Road transport is the movement of people, goods or animals on road using vehicles like cars, buses, trucks, motor cycles, bicycles and carts.

 Abstract

Adansonia digitata L. is well known as African baobab. It is native to African subcontinent. Due to anthropogenic activities, the great genetic resources of it, is getting to the verge of extinction. The tree has profound both medicinal and non medicinal uses. It is called 'kalpvriksha' in Hindu mythological literature as all parts are useful. In present investigation a comparative analysis was done for both seed grown and air layered plant under different growth parameters for the first two months. The treatments employed were different in both case. In seed grown plants three treatments along with control were taken. Here T2 showed best result survival percentage 90%; plant mean height (in cm) 19.7(30D), 40.4(60D); branches emergences 4(30D), 10(60D); leaf emergence 10(30D), 11(60D) and highest plant girth (in cm) 2(30D), 2.5(60D). In air layered experiment the best result out of five treatments were seen in T5, survival percentage 100% (DAP), plant mean height (in cm) 28(30D), 56.4 (60D); branches emergence 8(30D), 14(60D); leaf emergence 24(30D), 49(60D) and highest plant girth (in cm) 1.2(30D), 2.1(60D).

 Abstract

This paper presents LaSalle's Invariance Principle as a generalized tool for analyzing the stability of equilibrium points in linear differential equations. While Lyapunov's method is often used in stability analysis, LaSalle's principle provides a more flexible framework by allowing non-strict Lyapunov functions to assess stability. The paper discusses the theory behind LaSalle's Invariance Principle and demonstrates its application to linear systems through illustrative examples. This approach is particularly valuable in control theory, mechanical systems, and other areas where energy dissipation and damping are significant factors.

 Abstract

Malaria, a persistent global health threat, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions, is caused by Plasmodium species, parasites transmitted to humans through the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. This article delves into the intricate life cycle of the malaria parasite, focusing on its interaction with two hosts: humans and mosquitoes. Understanding the complexities of the Plasmodium life cycle is not just crucial but empowering, as it enables the development of better prevention and treatment strategies. This review outlines the stages of parasite development, from the initial infection in the human host to the maturation of the parasite within the mosquito, and discusses its profound impact on disease transmission and control efforts.

 Abstract

The following broad review aims at looking at the vibrational characteristics of potassium dihydrogen phosphate also known as KDP, a ferroelectric material with numerous tech applications. The investigation of vibrational properties of KDP is carried out using different types of spectroscopy techniques such as Raman spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy and inelastic neutron scattering. The paper offers a detailed description of the vibrational modes in KDP, how they depend on the temperature and what influence hydrogen bonding has on the ferroelectricity of the compound. Some of the newly developed experimental methods and theoretical approaches are briefly presented, and vibrational analysis's current and potential roles in probing KDP's characteristics and functionalities are considered. Finally, we discuss potential developments of vibrational analysis for KDP-related applications.

 Abstract

The process of industrialisation begun in the 1760s in Britain. As we all know, the world had developed a lot since the ages of industrialisation and it marked with a change in the social and economic phenomena but at the same time new problems are arising with the industrial growth such as rising greenhouse gas, emissions, air pollution and water pollution, desertification and chemicals pollution, the erosion of the top soil had led to extreme pressure on the environment and impoverishes the population by destroying its natural resource base. Industrialisation in Assam dates back with the establishment of tea, coal, oil refineries and plywood industries leading to economic growth and development of the state. BCPL plant was set up in Dibrugarh district and came as a part of the historic Assam Accord signed on 15th August, 1985 with the motive of overall socio-economic development of the region, but with the operation of BCPL plant there have also been some negative effect arising such as environmental pollution and various types of difficulties and problems are faced by the people residing in nearby BCPL plant areas. The main objective of this paper is to look over/evaluate the negative effects of environmental degradation which are faced by the workers and nearby villagers due to the setting up of this plant.
