 Abstract

As global populations continue to age, the prevalence of dementia is escalating, placing immense pressure on already strained healthcare systems. One of the most pressing challenges in dementia care is the high rate of hospitalizations, many of which are avoidable and can lead to worsened health outcomes, emotional distress, and increased healthcare costs. This article examines the pivotal role community health workers (CHWs) play in mitigating these challenges by acting as a vital link between formal medical services and the patient's home environment. CHWs contribute significantly through early detection of health deterioration, personalized support, routine monitoring, and emotional assistance to both patients and caregivers. By fostering trust and continuity of care within communities, CHWs help reduce the reliance on emergency services. Utilizing a qualitative and comparative approach, this study assesses CHW-led dementia care initiatives across various healthcare models and geographical regions. The findings underscore that when CHWs are comprehensively trained, integrated into multidisciplinary healthcare teams, and supported through robust health policies, hospitalization rates among dementia patients notably decline. Moreover, CHWs help families navigate complex care processes, offer culturally sensitive education, and strengthen caregiver resilience. These outcomes point to the need for increased investment in CHW programs as an effective, scalable, and human-centered strategy to address the growing dementia crisis. In conclusion, empowering CHWs is not only a cost-effective approach but also a compassionate response to the demands of dementia care in aging populations, offering a path toward improved patient well-being and healthcare sustainability.

 Abstract

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well- being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity". This definition of health highlights the importance of understanding health and disease burden within the personal, social and cultural context specific to the patient those who all are affected by CVD.2 Every year approximately 1.5 million American have heart attack. Myocardial Infarction is the leading cause, an estimated 5,00,000 deaths occur each year. About 2,40,000 women die of Myocardial Infarction. Approximately 2,50,000 people die of before they reach the hospital. Studies indicate that half of all heart attack victims wait more than 2 hours before getting help.

 Abstract

This paper examines the representation of trauma, memory, and recovery in Toni Morrison's Beloved (1987) and Nicholas Spark's Safe Haven (2010) through the combined frameworks of trauma theory and psychoanalysis. Drawing on Cathy Caruth's concept of trauma's belated temporality, the analysis highlights how Morrison's nonlinear narrative structure and fragmented voices replicate the disorienting experience of traumatic memory, while Sparks employs suspense-driven flashbacks to dramatize the persistent threat of abuse within a linear, romance-thriller framework. The study borrows from Freud's psychoanalytic concepts, particularly the "return of the repressed," and Dominick LaCapra's distinction between "acting out" and "working through" to illuminate how Sethe and Katie navigate the intrusion of past trauma into their present lives. As Judith Herman emphasizes, recovery is a relational process that depends on safety, remembrance, and reconnection, a framework that resonates with both Sethe's communal healing and Katie's reliance on supportive relationships to confront abuse. Furthermore, Caruth's insistence that trauma resists full narrative integration underscores why both Morrison and Sparks stage memory as fractured, intrusive, and yet ethically necessary to articulate. In this way, both texts demonstrate the centrality of memory, repression, and relational support in negotiating trauma, highlighting literature's capacity to mediate between the ethical imperatives of witnessing suffering and the human desire for emotional closure.

 Abstract

Bharati Mukherjee, a pioneering voice in the Asian American literary canon, is predominantly read through postcolonial and feminist frameworks that emphasize themes of cultural displacement, identity crisis, and gendered agency. While these readings are invaluable, this article argues for a re-interpretation of her major novels--Jasmine (1989), The Holder of the World (1993), and Desirable Daughters (2002)--through the emerging theoretical paradigm of critical posthumanism and new materialism. This lens shifts the focus from the psychological and cultural interiority of the immigrant subject to the dynamic, agential role of non-human forces (the body, technology, geography, objects) in co-constituting identity. It is contended that Mukherjee's protagonists do not merely adapt to a new culture; they undergo a radical, material metamorphosis facilitated by their entanglement with the American landscape, its technologies, and the visceral capacities of their own bodies. This reading moves beyond the dialectic of loss and assimilation to reveal a more complex, posthuman vision of becoming, where identity is a fluid assemblage rather than a stable essence, anticipating key concerns in 21st-century thought about mobility, materiality, and subjectivity.

 Abstract

Access to reliable and affordable energy remains a major challenge in rural and remote regions of India, where grid extension is often economically unfeasible. Many households and small enterprises still rely on diesel generators for agriculture, businesses, lighting, water supply, education, and healthcare. While diesel provides short-term relief, it is costly, inefficient, and environmentally unsustainable. Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems (HRES), combining solar, wind, biomass, small hydro, and battery storage with conventional backup, present scalable and cost-effective alternatives. These systems reduce fossil fuel dependency, strengthen energy security, and support socio-economic development. However, challenges such as intermittency of renewable resources, limited reliability, inadequate maintenance frameworks, and financial barriers hinder their widespread adoption. This paper reviews HRES design, technologies, and applications in off-grid and grid-connected contexts, with India as a case study. It identifies lessons from successful and failed projects and recommends solutions to enhance reliability, optimize configurations, and develop supportive policies.

 Abstract

This paper focuses on integrating Zero-Trust Architecture (ZTA) and blockchain technology to improve the security and reliability of Secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC) in Decentralized Finance (DeFi). Traditional security models are unsuited to the decentralized and trustless nature of the DeFi model where MPC can take place providing privacy-preserving financial operations whilst still absorbing sensitive data which is exposed. By pairing together ZTA's "never trust, always verify" philosophy and blockchain's immutable, transparent ledger, we propose a many layered architectural schema that would provide for continuity in verification, decentralized policy enforcement and tamper proof auditing. The integration addresses important security issues like the misbehavior of nodes, input corruption, and collusion, and encouraged scalability, compliance, and resilience. Practical feasibility of the approach is demonstrated by case studies of projects such as Chainlink DECO and Threshold Network. Besides its application in finance, the proposed model provides potential implications for DeFi and other privacy-sensitive fields that require clinicians' trust when storing and accessing data.

 Abstract

This Research examines the evolving legal recognition of transgender persons in India with a specific focus on their rights to marriage and adoption. Drawing on doctrinal analysis of statutory frameworks such as the Hindu Marriage Act, Special Marriage Act, and the Juvenile Justice Act, alongside adoption guidelines of the Central Adoption Resource Authority, the study identifies critical gaps in the current legal system. Landmark judicial pronouncements such as NALSA v. Union of India and Justice K.S. Puttaswamy v. Union of India are analyzed to highlight the constitutional underpinnings of equality, dignity, and privacy under Articles 14 and 21. However, conflicting judicial trends and administrative practices continue to obstruct transgender persons' access to marriage registration and adoption procedures. Complementing doctrinal research, the study incorporates qualitative empirical insights from semi-structured interviews with transgender individuals, NGOs, adoption agencies, and legal practitioners. These findings reveal lived experiences marked by bureaucratic hurdles, stigma, and inconsistent application of rights despite progressive constitutional jurisprudence. Comparative perspectives from jurisdictions such as Argentina, Canada, and Nepal demonstrate viable pathways where legislative reform, administrative guidelines, and robust anti-discrimination frameworks have enabled inclusive recognition of marriage and adoption rights for transgender persons. The discussion employs constitutional tests of reasonable classification, proportionality, and dignity to argue for remedial action in India through a combination of judicial recognition, legislative reform, and administrative directives. The policy roadmap recommends short-term interventions such as registrar and adoption agency guidelines, medium-term statutory amendments, and long-term public sensitization and anti-discrimination measures. The study concludes by reaffirming the constitutional mandate of equality and dignity, calling for urgent harmonization of Indian family law with trans-inclusive constitutional principles.

 Abstract

Military stations, especially those deployed in remote or conflict-prone areas, face critical challenges in maintaining reliable, secure, and sustainable energy supplies. Traditionally, diesel generators have been the primary source of energy, but they impose high operational costs, fuel logistics issues, and carbon emissions. This paper presents the design and analysis of a hybrid off-grid energy system for military stations, integrating photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, wind turbines, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and a diesel generator as backup. This study evaluates the performance of the proposed system under varying climatic and operational conditions. Results indicate that the hybrid configuration can reduce diesel fuel consumption by up to 60%, enhance energy resilience, and provide secure, deployable, and sustainable power for military operations.

 Abstract

Zeolites are microporous, crystalline aluminosilicates known for their exceptional ion-exchange, adsorption, and molecular sieving capabilities. These properties make them highly effective materials for environmental remediation. This paper provides a scientific overview of zeolite-based technologies used to remove contaminants from water, air, and soil. The mechanisms by which zeolites interact with heavy metals, radionuclides, ammonium, and organic pollutants are examined in detail. Both natural and synthetic zeolites are considered, along with surface modification techniques that enhance their selectivity and efficiency. Applications such as wastewater treatment, air purification, and soil decontamination are critically reviewed, supported by recent case studies and experimental findings. The environmental sustainability, regeneration potential, and cost-effectiveness of zeolite-based approaches are also assessed. By highlighting current challenges and future prospects, this paper emphasizes the role of zeolites as versatile, scalable, and eco-friendly materials for addressing global environmental pollution.

 Abstract

Imagine a huge wildfire breaking out or a major flood hitting a coastal city. Today, thanks to Artificial Intelligence (AI), the news about these climate disasters can be reported almost instantly and in much more detail. This review paper looks at how AI is changing the game for journalists covering the climate crisis. We wanted to understand how these new tools are helping news get to the public faster and what that means for all of us. Basically, we explore the connection between AI-powered reporting and how much people actually know and care about climate issues. The paper digs into existing research to see how AI tools are used. For example, AI can scan satellite images (that's computer vision) to spot a new forest fire automatically. It can sift through massive amounts of weather data (using predictive analytics) to give better warnings about a coming hurricane. It can even write basic news updates (using natural language processing) the second an earthquake happens. This makes reporting on climate crises not just quicker, but also more accurate and able to cover a wider area. But the big question is: does this high-speed, AI-helping-hand approach actually make a difference to the public? We looked at whether this kind of reporting makes people more aware of the problems, gets them more engaged, and even inspires them to take action that supports bigger sustainability goals. We also talk about some important themes that come up again and again. Like, how AI can tailor climate news to different audiences, making it more personal. But it's not all positive. We also tackle the tricky parts--the ethical dilemmas. What if the AI has a bias and pays more attention to disasters in wealthy countries? How can we trust news that's written by an algorithm? And what happens to the human journalists? Is there still a crucial role for them when AI can handle the basics? By looking at real-world examples where AI has been used in reporting, we try to pinpoint what works well and what we need to be careful about. In the end, our review concludes that AI has incredible potential to supercharge how we communicate about the climate crisis. It can be a powerful microphone for raising public awareness. However, to really make it work for everyone, we can't just let the technology run wild. We need strong ethical rules and inclusive practices to guide its use. This ensures that the conversation it amplifies is fair, accurate, and helpful for everyone. This paper wraps up by pointing out what we still don't know--the gaps in current research-- and suggests where future studies should focus. Our goal is to provide useful insights not just for other researchers, but also for the people making policies and the journalists on the front lines, all working towards a more sustainable future.

 Abstract

Sudha Murty's Mahashweta (2004) masterfully interlaces themes of tradition, patriarchy, and resistance, revealing the social contradictions that confine women in rural Karnataka. The novel's protagonist, Anupama, is initially valued for her beauty--a trait that ironically becomes the source of her downfall when she develops vitiligo. This physical transformation exposes the commodification of women within marriage and societal structures, as Anupama's worth rapidly diminishes in the eyes of her husband and in-laws. Murty's portrayal of Anupama's ostracization highlights the ways in which patriarchal norms equate a woman's value with her appearance, marital status, and reproductive capacity. However, the narrative does not dwell solely on victimhood; rather, it charts Anupama's journey of resistance. Through education and self-reliance, she reclaims agency, transforming personal affliction into empowerment. Employing feminist frameworks such as Simone de Beauvoir's concept of the "Other" and Chandra Talpade Mohanty's third-world feminism, this analysis explores how Murty subverts the mythic Savitri archetype. Unlike the traditional, sacrificial wife, Anupama becomes a modern resistor, challenging dowry, the stigma of infertility, and the denial of bodily autonomy. Murty's accessible prose makes complex feminist ideas approachable, democratizing discourse and critiquing Brahmanical patriarchy while celebrating Kannada cultural resilience. The novel's exploration of familial hypocrisy--where maternal affection contends with societal expectations--offers a nuanced look at intersectional inequities. In the context of rising gender-based violence in 2025, Mahashweta demonstrates literature's power to expose duplicities and inspire movements for equity and justice.

 Abstract

This study examines the enduring Digital Gender Divide (DGD) in education, concentrating on rural females in India, and underscores the disparities in access, ownership, skills, and engagement in digital learning. Using recent information from the ASER 2024 Report, UNICEF, the GRDP Toolkit, and different government programs, including DIKSHA, SWAYAM, and PM e-Vidya, the study finds important social, cultural, and infrastructural barriers that keep females from taking part in digital education. Even if digital infrastructure and educational platforms are growing, rural girls still fall behind boys when it comes to owning devices, knowing how to use them safely online, and having more freedom. This is because of gender conventions, money problems, and a lack of freedom. The study utilizes qualitative content analysis to amalgamate emerging themes from literature and policy documents, highlighting the significance of gender-responsive digital pedagogies, localized content, community participation, and inclusive policy frameworks. It concludes that without targeted, gender-sensitive interventions--including subsidized device access, teacher training, secure online environments, and intersectional pedagogy--digital education may exacerbate rather than alleviate existing gender disparities. This research advocates for enduring policy initiatives and systemic transformation to guarantee equal digital learning opportunities for all genders, especially the most marginalized females.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming multiple sectors, and education is no exception. AI-driven tools are reshaping how students learn, how teachers instruct, and how institutions manage academic processes. From adaptive learning platforms that tailor instruction to individual learners to automated assessment tools that provide instant feedback, AI offers unprecedented opportunities to improve both teaching and learning. However, as with any emerging technology, its integration into education also raises significant questions related to equity, bias, privacy, and the role of teachers. Understanding both the benefits and the risks of AI in education is essential for ensuring its responsible and ethical adoption. This paper reviews the empirical evidence on AI's impact on learning outcomes and student engagement while also providing a critical analysis of its core challenges and proposing mitigation strategies for responsible implementation.

Concrete is most commonly used construction material and it consumes huge amount of cement. Manufacturing of cement produces increasing CO2 emission which is harmful to the environment. Method used to reduce cement content in concrete is use of nano-silica and Fly ash as a partial replacement of cement in concrete. Nanotechnology is one of the most promising areas of science. The use of nano materials in concrete is new revolution. Nano silica is presently used in concrete to modify its strength properties. In this study strength properties such as Compressive strength, Split tensile strength, Pullout strength of M40 grade of concrete with the use of nano silica 1.5%, 3%, 4.5%, 6%, 7.5% and 10% of constant rate of flyash as partial replacement of cement were studied. It was observed from the experimental study that concrete composites with superior properties can be produced using combination of nano silica and fly ash.

This paper tries to explore the performance and characteristics of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) of Indian companies listed in Bombay Stock Exchange during the past ten years period from 2010 to 2020. The study undertakes to evaluate the performance of IPOs on the basis of its nature of return on the first day of its listing. The first day of listing is considered to be the Acid-Test day for any company's listing and its performance on the first day envisages the fact that "First impression is the Best Impression. The current work has used the event study methodology, where in, an event window is created with 70 days as the base, for these 70 days Average Abnormal Returns (ARR) and Cumulative Average Abnormal Returns (CAAR) were calculated to analyse the performance of IPOs. To calculate the market adjusted return BSE SENSEX was considered as the benchmark index. The study has attempted to verify IPO performance in India on the basis of nature of return on the first day of trading. It was found in the analysis that Indian IPOs underperformed irrespective of its nature of return on the first day of listing. From the analysis it is also evidenced that the companies which had negative return on the first day of trade have severely underperformed than the companies having positive return on the first day of trading. The goal of this paper is to establish evidence to identify those companies which have performed better as well as underperformed after its first day of trading.

 Abstract

Emotional triggers in advertising are strategic elements designed to evoke specific emotional responses from consumers, such as joy, fear, sadness, or empathy. By appealing to the audience's emotions rather than relying solely on logic or information, advertisers can create stronger connections with their target market, enhance message retention, and influence purchasing behavior. These triggers are often embedded in storytelling, imagery, music, or tone to make the advertisement more memorable and impactful. This paper examines how emotional triggers in advertising shape consumer attention, memory, attitudes, and purchase behavior. Drawing on cognitive-emotional neuroscience, advertising research, and neuromarketing practice, the paper synthesizes theoretical frameworks, measurement methods, and practical case studies to identify which emotions are most persuasive, why they work, and how advertisers can deploy them ethically and effectively. The paper concludes with actionable recommendations for practitioners and directions for future research.

This study empirically examines the Quality of Work Life (QWL) among employees across Public Sector, Cooperative, and Private Sector banks in Pune, India, positioning QWL as critical determinant of competitive advantage and organizational performance. Utilizing a cross-sectional, quantitative design with a balanced sample (N=90), the analysis focused on six key QWL dimensions. Statistical testing (ANOVA, Chi-square, Regression) confirmed statistically significant sectoral differences across all major QWL dimensions (p<0.05). Public banks led in Job Security (Mean 4.35) and Work-Life Balance (Mean 3.85); while Private banks excelled in Compensation (Mean 4.15) and Career Growth (Mean 4.25). Cooperative banks registered the highest mean for Social Integration (4.10). Multiple Regression Analysis identified Career Growth Opportunities (?=0.45,p<0.001) as the most influential factor driving overall employee satisfaction. The paper concludes by proposing sector-specific strategies to address the distinct challenges of stability, stress, and structural deficit in each banking cohort.

 Abstract

India's innovation ecosystem has undergone significant transformation in recent years, shaped by rapid digitalization, rising entrepreneurship, and policy interventions designed to stimulate research and development. This paper examines the growth drivers of India's innovation landscape, including demographic advantages, expanding digital infrastructure, government initiatives such as Startup India and Atal Innovation Mission, and the increasing role of global investment and collaboration. At the same time, persistent challenges remain, particularly in bridging regional disparities, strengthening intellectual property protection, scaling up R&D expenditure, and fostering linkages between academia, industry, and government. The study adopts a descriptive and analytical approach, drawing on secondary data from government reports, industry surveys, and international indices. It highlights the dual role of opportunities and barriers: while India is emerging as one of the world's leading hubs for technology-driven entrepreneurship, structural bottlenecks in regulatory frameworks, talent retention, and funding mechanisms continue to constrain its full potential. The findings suggest that India's innovation ecosystem can serve as a growth engine for sustainable development if complemented by inclusive policies, strong governance mechanisms, and global partnerships. The paper concludes that moving forward, the key priority lies in aligning innovation with broader social and economic goals, ensuring that the ecosystem not only accelerates economic growth but also fosters equitable and resilient development.
