 Abstract

Background: Frozen shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) is a painful condition characterized by progressive stiffness, restricted mobility, and functional disability of the shoulder joint. Conventional therapies often provide symptomatic relief but fail to address the chronicity and metabolic basis of the disease. Scientific Reversal Detox Process (SRDP), developed at Parasnath Speciality Clinic, is an integrative protocol that combines Ayurvedic and modern diagnostic perspectives with a standardized treatment plan. Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of SRDP based Ayurvedic therapy in the management of frozen shoulder. Methods: This clinical study was conducted on patients diagnosed with frozen shoulder who underwent the SRDP protocol. The treatment was structured into four sequential stages: (1) Detoxification - local oil massage, pottali swedana, nadi swedana, lepa, basti, leech/cupping, and taila dhara along with Vardhman SRDP powder (Guda, Shunthi, Haritaki) to eliminate vitiated Doshas, reduce inflammation, and improve metabolism; (2) Strengthening - gentle oil massage, taila dhara, lepa application, and physiotherapy to improve joint mobility and muscular support; (3) Root Cause Removal - administration of specially developed polyherbal formulations to correct Dhatvagni and address metabolic disorders; (4) Regeneration - research based regenerative medicines for restoring synovial fluid and enhancing joint integrity. Both take home medicines (polyherbal tablets, oils, lepa) and in house therapies were included. Results: Patient undergoing SRDP therapy demonstrated significant reduction in pain, stiffness, and inflammation, along with marked improvement in shoulder mobility and daily activity performance. Progressive improvement was observed across all four phases, with better tolerance and compliance compared to conventional therapies. No major adverse effects were reported. Conclusion: SRDP based Ayurvedic therapy provides a holistic and effective approach in the management of frozen shoulder by addressing not only symptomatic relief but also the underlying metabolic and structural pathology. The staged protocol of detoxification, strengthening, root cause correction, and regeneration demonstrates promising potential as an integrative care model.

 Abstract

The Apparel Industry is a major part of the world economy, involving the design, production, marketing, and distribution of clothing or apparel. It is one of the biggest and most labor-intensive industries, adding billions of dollars to the world economy and employing millions, especially in developing nations such as India and Bangladesh. As fashion trends and consumer demand change rapidly, the industry keeps evolving through supply chain changes, technological innovation, and sustainability efforts. Despite its economic importance, the Apparel Industry in both nations has some challenges. The Apparel Industry is an economic mainstay worldwide, but it is also one that is routinely characterized by systemic labor issues that compound mental health issues. The same trend can be seen across the supply chain, from apparel workers in low-income countries to retail workers in high-income ones. This paper focuses on these concerns, the responsible factors for these issues, and how more holistic as well as psychological interventions could help to alleviate the mental health issues among workers in the Bangladeshi and Indian Apparel Industry. Improving the mental health of workers in the apparel industry requires structural changes, including the integration of corporate responsibility, policy development, and community care, as prioritizing workers' mental health is both ethical and essential for sustainable industrial development.

 Abstract

Background :Hamstring tightness--where one cannot completely extend the knee while the hip is flexed is prevalent in 40.17% of young college students. Flexibility for this muscle can be improved using two primary methods: Static stretching is the most common technique that directly lengthens the muscle, while the Muscle Energy Technique (MET) uses the muscle's own energy through gentle isometric contractions to achieve relaxation and subsequent lengthening via the mechanism of autogenic or reciprocal inhibition. Aim :To compare the immediate effect of static stretching with Kinesio taping vs muscle energy technique with Kinesio taping on hamstring flexibility in athletes. Methodology : Participatnts were briefed about the nature of the study and the intervention. Their informed written consent were taken. 116 participants were selected based on criteria. Pre and post treatment outcome measures, passive knee extension test and NPRS were measured. Participants were randomly divided into two groups with n=58 in each group. Group A is Static stretching with KT and Group B is MET with KT. Result : Result proves that both the groups were clinically significant but MET with KT was the better effect than static stretching with KT. Conclusion : MET with KT and static stretching with KT were significant in terms of clinical outcome ,hence the study concluded that the Static stretching with KT as well as MET with KT are effective , but the higher the Effect size better is the clinical improvement post treatment. It is simple and easy to apply on hamstring tightness subjects.so it can be implemented clinically as well.

 Abstract

The archetypal mythical figures renowned for their mischievous features are called tricksters. This paper entitled "Nanabush on a Motorcycle: Trickster Tale in Drew Hayden Taylor's Motorcycles & Sweetgrass: A Novel" is an attempt to trace out the characteristics of the trickster figure. Specifically, the paper endeavours to point out the intricate similarities and features of the mythical trickster figure Nanabush, and John, a character in Taylor's novel. One feature leads to another which is one of the peculiarities of these mythical beings. Tricksters are well known for their shape-shifting abilities, which they utilise to play tricks upon others. Certain tales present tricksters as comical, cultural-heroes, and even as saviours of culture. Trickster tends to challenge and question societal norms as they are entitled as taboo-breakers and boundary-crossers. By drawing parallels between the trickster figure Nanabush and the selected literary character, the analysis delves into their shared attributes, for instance, cunningness, shape-shifting, and roles as cultural carriers. Merging ancient myth and contemporary narrative, Taylor gives the trickster a position of renewal, resilience and cultural commentary in the present society

 Abstract

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is recognized as one of the most significant paradigms within the field of computer science; however, it frequently poses abstract and complex challenges for beginner students. This study introduces an innovative pedagogical strategy that is culturally relevant, integrating elements of Hindu mythology, Vedic philosophy, and practical analogies to elucidate fundamental OOP concepts. By establishing connections between ancient Indian philosophical insights and contemporary computing principles such as classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction, encapsulation, and access specifiers, this research suggests a framework that improves conceptual understanding and retention. The objective is to illustrate that profound philosophical concepts derived from Hindu ideology can act as a compelling mechanism for rendering abstract programming principles both relatable and memorable. Through this confluence of spirituality and software engineering, students cultivate not only technical knowledge but also a philosophical insight, effectively bridging the divide between logic and life.

 Abstract

The discourse surrounding "special status" in Indian politics has been a contentious and multifaceted issue, particularly in the context of Jammu and Kashmir. This study conducts a critical discourse analysis (CDA) of the political narratives around special status, focusing on two pivotal movements: The Praja Parishad agitation (1952-53) and the positioning of the National Conference during key historical junctures. The Praja Parishad agitation, rooted in opposition to Article 370, sought full integration of Jammu and Kashmir into India, reflecting ideological tensions between regional autonomy and nationalist centralization. Conversely, the National Conference, under Sheikh Abdullah and his successors, oscillated between advocating for Kashmir's distinct identity and negotiating its political relationship with the Indian Union. The analysis highlights the interplay of power, rhetoric, and historical contingencies in shaping the political trajectory of Jammu and Kashmir, offering insights into the broader dynamics of autonomy, integration and nationalist politics in postcolonial India.

Narcissistic personality tendencies represent a complex constellation of self-perception, interpersonal functioning, and affect regulation. While the Narcissistic Personality Pattern Test (NPPT) provides insight into narcissistic traits, the psychological consequences of such patterns on mental health outcomes remain insufficiently explored. The present study investigates the relationship between narcissistic personality patterns and psychological distress as measured by the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21). Using a quantitative correlational design, participants (N = 203) completed both the NPPT and DASS-21. Statistical analyses including Pearson's correlation and multiple regression were conducted to examine the predictive value of NPPT scores on DASS-21 subscales. Results indicated that higher narcissistic tendencies were significantly associated with elevated scores on depression, anxiety, and stress, with the strongest relationship observed with stress. Regression analyses suggested that NPPT explained a modest yet meaningful proportion of variance in DASS-21 outcomes, supporting the notion that narcissistic personality features may exacerbate vulnerability to emotional dysregulation and negative affectivity. Findings contribute to personality and clinical psychology by highlighting the maladaptive outcomes linked to narcissistic configurations, underscoring the need for early detection, therapeutic intervention, and family-based psychoeducation. Limitations and future directions are discussed, including the need for culturally calibrated tools and longitudinal designs to assess causality.

 Abstract

Despite decades of constitutional guarantees of equality and judicial independence, women are underrepresented in India's upper judiciary. The Supreme Court has had few women judges since its founding, and High Courts reflect institutional and cultural exclusions. The study explores these changes using qualitative interviews, judge biographical data, archival evidence, and secondary data on appointments and collegium recommendations to assess impediments and avenues to women's judicial progression. The analysis using thematic coding and descriptive statistics shows how the legal profession's patriarchal culture, secretive collegium decision-making, and dependency on elite professional networks disadvantage women. Trends include tokenistic appointments, brief tenures, and regional disparities, with urban courts offering greater opportunities. India lags behind South Africa, the US, and the UK in adopting diversity mandates and open judicial commissions. In addition to representation, women's marginalization undermines the judiciary's credibility, limits gender-sensitive jurisprudence, and limits democratic accountability. Practical alternatives suggest formal mentorship, open evaluation procedures, and inclusivity-promoting institutional improvements. The study shows how cultural hierarchies effect legal outcomes, developing feminist institutionalism. Despite limitations such limited collegium file access and a small sample size of women judges, the report provides essential policy, advocacy, and research guidance.

 Abstract

Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) has been a part of Indian tradition, culture and cuisine for more than 2500 years. The oldest reference to turmeric was first referenced in the Atharvaveda. The name "Turmeric" is derived from the Latin word 'terra merita', which means meritorious earth. It is also known as the 'yellow root', 'golden spice', 'Indian saffron', and has been used for at least 6000 years in traditional medicine and religious practices. Not only the majestic roots of the turmeric plant, flowers also offer a number of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, due to their 'curcumin' content. The flowers are known to support digestion process of the gut and also contribute to the cell health by contributing in fighting the pre-mature ageing and inflammatory processes. The flowers are very famous in the traditional medicines in Southeast Asian regions like Malaysia and Indonesia. The flowers are preferred by the traditional healers to prescribe for the intake during the pregnancy period, during and after the child birth to fight against the inflammation and infection. The flowers are edible and are consumed as raw in salad or incorporated in cuisines after cooking.

 Abstract

This study examines the growing yet often overlooked role of women technicians in the Tamil film industry through a comprehensive analysis of their contributions, challenges, and industry impact. Using mixed-methods research encompassing quantitative data from 150 major Tamil films (2010-2023) and qualitative interviews with 12 women technicians, we document their participation in key technical roles including cinematography, editing, sound design, and production management. Our findings reveal that while women constitute only 12-15% of technical crews in major productions, their contributions have led to measurable differences in cinematic language - including 22% longer average shot lengths in edited sequences and more naturalistic lighting approaches in cinematography. The study identifies three critical systemic barriers: male-dominated hiring networks (78% of technical hires), workplace culture challenges (63% report sexist remarks), and lack of mentorship opportunities. Significantly, we found productions with female technicians demonstrate 40% fewer harassment incidents and more nuanced portrayals of women characters. The paper also highlights successful case studies like the all-female technical crew for "Lens" (2022) and Sudha Kongara's gender-balanced team for "Soorarai Pottru" (2020). We conclude with four-point recommendations: policy interventions like tax incentives for gender-balanced crews, industry mentorship programs, cultural shifts in promotion practices, and union-led welfare measures. This research provides both empirical evidence of women's impact on Tamil cinema's technical aesthetics and practical pathways toward greater gender equity in India's film industries

Pharmacovigilance is essential for ensuring the safe use of biologics and biosimilars--medicines made from living systems that are often large and complex in structure. These products can have unique safety concerns such as immune reactions, changes between batches, and risks that may only appear after they are widely used. Monitoring methods like spontaneous reporting, active surveillance, and strong product tracking help detect and manage these issues. Regulatory bodies such as EMA, USFDA, and CDSCO require regular safety reports, risk management plans, and registry-based studies to improve safety tracking. However, challenges remain in tracing batches, interpreting data, and handling product switches. New tools like blockchain for traceability, advanced data analysis, and global safety standards are shaping the next phase of pharmacovigilance. This review discusses the importance of strong monitoring systems to keep biologics and biosimilars safe while supporting their wider use.
