The 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992 is a significant step in the democratic structure of India. The 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992 is a significant step in the democratic structure of India. This proved to be a historic step. This amendment granted constitutional status to Panchayati Raj institutions and strengthened public participation in rural governance. The most significant and far-reaching impact of this amendment was on women's political participation and social status. By providing women with reservations in Panchayats, they were constitutionally empowered to participate in the decision-making process, opening new avenues for their empowerment in rural society. The 73rd Constitutional Amendment ensured a minimum of 33 percent reservation for women at all levels: Gram Panchayat, Panchayat Samiti, and Zila Parishad. Reservations were also made for women from Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes. As a result, millions of women across the country emerged as elected representatives for the first time. This not only increased the number of women in political institutions but also enhanced their social identity and self-confidence. Women's participation in Panchayati Raj institutions made rural development priorities more humane and inclusive. Issues such as health, sanitation, drinking water, education, nutrition, and women and child welfare gained prominence on the Panchayats' agenda. Several studies have shown that women representatives have a better understanding of local needs and play a vital role in the effective implementation of social development

Background: Pneumothorax is a common complication of navigational bronchoscopy for peripheral lung biopsies, occurring in 5-15% of cases. While high-concentration oxygen is known to accelerate resolution of spontaneous pneumothorax via nitrogen washout, its proactive intraoperative use as a mitigation strategy during bronchoscopy remains unexplored. Case Summary: A 56-year-old woman with a history of breast cancer underwent navigational bronchoscopy for biopsy of a 6-mm right middle lobe nodule. High-concentration oxygen was administered throughout the procedure. A moderate post-procedural pneumothorax was detected on chest X-ray but resolved significantly within 3 hours and completely by 24 hours without chest drain insertion. Serial imaging confirmed full resolution at 21-day follow-up. Conclusion: This case suggests that intraoperative high FiO? may harness the nitrogen washout effect to rapidly resolve iatrogenic pneumothorax, potentially avoiding invasive intervention. We propose a risk-stratified framework to guide targeted use--positioning oxygen not merely as a ventilatory support, but as an active safety lever in bronchoscopic lung biopsy.

In all historical eras and among different peoples, a person's desire for self-expression and aesthetic decoration of their own appearance can be traced. In the absence of the necessary natural resources, people tried to create the desired forms by artificial means. In many cases, they used not their own hair, but alternative hair, which led to the development of the art of postiche (hair pieces made of natural or synthetic hair). At the present stage, a stylist-hairdresser cannot do without postiche products in the process of modeling and performing current hairstyles. Thanks to the use of alternative hair, it becomes possible to increase the volume of the hairstyle, lengthen the hair, complement the image with decorative elements made of hair, complex braids, avant-garde strands, chignons with extravagant coloring. In addition, postiche is actively used in combination with eyelash extensions, which contributes to the creation of a holistic, individual and artistically expressive image.

The large-scale generation of fly ash from coal-based thermal power plants presents serious environmental and land-use challenges. The present study investigates the development of fly ash reinforced polymer composites aimed at converting industrial waste into value-added engineering materials. Composite specimens were fabricated using a compaction-based technique followed by room-temperature curing, with fly ash content varied at 75 wt.%, 80 wt.%, and 85 wt.%. Mechanical properties were evaluated through hardness and compressive strength tests, while tribological performance was assessed under dry sliding conditions. Thermal conductivity measurements were conducted to examine insulation capability, and microstructural analysis was performed using scanning electron microscopy. The results demonstrate that hardness and wear resistance increase consistently with increasing fly ash content due to the ceramic nature of fly ash particles and improved load-sharing mechanisms. Compressive strength exhibited an optimum value at intermediate fly ash content, indicating a balance between reinforcement loading and matrix continuity. Thermal conductivity decreased significantly with higher fly ash content owing to hollow cenospheres, increased porosity, and interfacial thermal resistance. Microstructural observations confirmed uniform particle dispersion and effective interfacial bonding at optimum compositions. The study establishes a clear structure-property relationship and highlights the potential of fly ash reinforced polymer composites for structural, tribological, and thermal insulation applications

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), a major complication of diabetes, continues to be one of the primary causes of avoidable vision impairment worldwide. As the number of individuals living with diabetes rises and access to specialized eye care remains limited in many regions, the need for timely and accurate DR detection becomes increasingly urgent. This survey explores modern, intelligent solutions aimed at improving DR screening, with a focus on integrating RetinoBot--a conversational AI tool--and automated deep learning frameworks to streamline diagnosis and enhance patient experience. The paper reviews the application of state-of-the-art image analysis models, including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Vision Transformers (ViTs), both of which have shown high efficacy in interpreting retinal fundus images. It also examines how RetinoBot contributes to proactive patient involvement through features like health education, symptom reporting, and appointment scheduling, all delivered via natural language interaction. Furthermore, the role of Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) is analyzed for its ability to empower clinicians without coding expertise to develop, tune, and deploy DR detection models. By combining AI-powered chat interfaces with AutoML-driven diagnostics, this study highlights a scalable, patient-centric approach to DR management that promises to make eye care more efficient, inclusive, and personalized.

The Indian capital markets have undergone unprecedented transformation over the past decade, transitioning from a broker-intermediated system with substantial entry barriers to a digitally accessible marketplace available via mobile applications. This shift has facilitated mass participation among first-time investors attracted by zero-commission trading, expedited account activation, and real-time market information dissemination. Yet simultaneously, derivative market participants continue to experience persistent losses despite enhanced access to data and trading infrastructure. This research examines the paradox wherein technological advancement correlates with accessibility expansion while outcomes for many retail participants remain suboptimal. Drawing upon behavioral finance theory, market microstructure analysis, regulatory evidence, and platform design research, this study demonstrates that technology functions as an amplifier of existing investor behavioral patterns rather than as an independent determinant of outcome improvement. The implications suggest that sustainable retail participation requires integration of technological infrastructure with behavioral safeguards, investor education, and regulatory oversight incorporating choice architecture and friction mechanisms.

This paper undertakes a Dalit feminist analysis of Baby Kamble's seminal autobiographical narrative, The Prisons We Broke (Jina Amucha, 1986). Moving beyond a singular focus on caste or gender, the analysis positions Kamble's work as a foundational text that illuminates the intersecting oppressions structuring Dalit women's lives in pre- and post-Ambedkarite Maharashtra. Employing Elaine Showalter's model of feminist literary criticism--particularly her concepts of the "wild zone" and "gynocritics"--as a dialogic framework, the paper argues that Kamble articulates a distinct Dalit feminist consciousness. This consciousness emerges from the specific material and corporeal experiences of Dalit women, challenging both patriarchal norms within the community and the Savarna-dominated feminist discourse. Through close reading, the paper examines Kamble's documentation of triple oppression (caste, class, gender), her portrayal of the Dalit female body as a site of abjection and resistance, and her celebration of collective awakening catalyzed by Ambedkarite movement. The paper concludes that The Prisons We Broke performs a dual act of breaking prisons: it dismantles the silent, "wild zone" of Dalit women's experience by bringing it into literary discourse, while simultaneously constructing a gynocritical tradition for Dalit feminism.

Abstract: This paper provides a reinterpretation of Anne Sexton's poems "Menstruation at Forty" and "Housewife" through the theoretical lens of Julia Kristeva's seminal essay "Women's Time" (1981), which distinguishes between cyclical, monumental, and generational modes of feminine temporality. Anne Sexton's poetic language transforms menstruation and domesticity, which are often portrayed as confinement into rhythmic, semiotic acts of resistance against the linear, teleological, masculine temporality of patriarchal culture. Sexton's verses use rhythm, repetition, and corporeal imagery to stage the female body and household as temporal and linguistic sites where the symbolic order of progress collapses into recurrence and endurance. This paper situates Sexton's confessional poetics within Kristeva's framework to show how her language enacts rather than merely reflects theory: her menstruating and domestic speakers embody cyclical recurrence and monumental stillness as forms of revolt. This study argues that by merging Kristeva's psychoanalytic temporality with Sexton's confessional form, feminine time survives within poetic rhythm itself, where bleeding, cleaning, and enduring become modes of linguistic and ontological creation.

Apicoectomy, also known as root-end resection, is a surgical endodontic procedure performed to remove the apex of a tooth's root and the surrounding periapical infected tissue when conventional root canal therapy has failed or is not feasible[1]. It serves as a conservative approach to preserve natural dentition by eliminating persistent periapical pathology and promoting peri radicular healing. The success of an apicoectomy depends on precise case selection, thorough diagnosis, advanced surgical techniques, and the use of biocompatible root-end filling materials. Recent advancements, including the use of magnification with dental operating microscopes, ultrasonic retrograde instrumentation, and bioactive materials such as mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Bio dentine, have significantly improved treatment outcomes. This review discusses the indications, surgical procedures, materials, success rates, and future trends associated with apicoectomy, emphasizing its importance in modern endodontic microsurgery.

Underwater visual environments suffer from severe image degradation due to light absorption, scattering, color distortion, and turbidity, which significantly affects the performance of automated fish species recognition systems. To address these challenges, this paper presents an integrated deep learning framework for underwater fish species detection by combining diffusion-based image enhancement with a lightweight classification model. Initially, a diffusion probabilistic restoration model is employed to enhance underwater images by improving color fidelity, suppressing noise, and restoring contrast. The enhanced images are then classified using a MobileNetV2-based convolutional neural network optimized for real-time and resource-constrained deployment. Experimental evaluation is conducted using standard image quality metrics such as UIQM, UCIQE, PSNR, and SSIM, along with classification metrics including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The results demonstrate significant improvements in both visual quality and species recognition accuracy compared to conventional CNN-based approaches trained on raw underwater images. The proposed framework offers a robust and scalable solution for applications in aquaculture monitoring, marine biodiversity analysis, and underwater robotic vision systems.

Abstract Safety is crucial in every industrial or construction arena as accidents can also cause injuries and damages. To mitigate risks in real-time, modern surveillance employs multiple sensors to track and assess risks. For this project, we installed and set up configurations for several sensors including ultrasonic sensors for distance measuring, pulse sensors for monitoring human heart rate, IR flame sensors for identifying fire, and MQ-135 sensor for detecting harmful gases. These sensors allow for constant monitoring and detection of potential threats, leading to appropriate action. Consequently, these features and sensors improve accident prevention and safety at the site.

--- The increasing digitalization of academic workflows has intensified the demand for intelligent systems that can evaluate handwritten assignments with speed, accuracy, and transparency. Traditional plagiarism detection tools are designed for typed text and fail to handle scanned handwritten documents, while manual grading remains subjective, inconsistent, and time-consuming. To address these limitations, this paper presents SmartEval, an integrated deep learning-driven framework for automated plagiarism detection and assignment grading. The system employs Optical Character Recognition (OCR) based on CNN-BiLSTM models with Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) loss to convert handwritten text into machine-readable form. The extracted text is processed through a hybrid similarity engine combining TF-IDF, cosine similarity, and contextual embeddings derived from Sentence-BERT to detect paraphrased, semantic, and cross-document plagiarism. Automated grading is performed using a rubric-weighted scoring model enhanced by semantic relevance, coherence evaluation, grammar assessment, and keyword density analysis. Experimental evaluation demonstrates high accuracy in OCR transcription, strong plagiarism detection performance, and grading outcomes that closely correlate with human evaluators. SmartEval offers a comprehensive, scalable, and objective mechanism for evaluating handwritten academic submissions, enhancing academic integrity and reducing educator workload

The relationship between Human Rights, terrorism and counter-terrorism is a complex, three-way interaction. It is often described as a "delicate balance" where each element directly impacts the others, sometimes in reinforce ways and other times through conflict. Human rights are the legal boundary and the moral framework within which counter-terrorism must operate to be effective and legitimate. Terrorism is a violation of human rights. Counter-terrorism is a duty of the state to protect human rights.

Spatial information mining has emerged as a vital research domain as technological advancements continue to generate massive amounts of spatial data from diverse sources such as sensors, satellites, and mobile devices. Among various spatial data mining tasks, co-location pattern mining holds significant importance in geographical data analysis. It aims to identify subsets of spatial features or objects that frequently occur together within a given geographic space, revealing valuable spatial associations and dependencies. The fundamental concept underlying co-location pattern discovery is spatial proximity, which helps determine meaningful relationships among spatial entities distributed across large datasets. However, mining such co-location patterns is computationally expensive due to the high dimensionality and dense neighborhood relationships inherent in spatial data. To address these challenges, researchers have proposed several efficient spatial co-location mining algorithms capable of handling massive and complex datasets. This study introduces an alternative co-location pattern mining approach that utilizes the MapReduce parallel computing framework to improve scalability, reduce execution time, and optimize resource utilization. By distributing computational tasks across multiple nodes, the proposed method significantly enhances the performance of spatial mining operations. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of this framework, demonstrating that it achieves flexible, scalable, and efficient performance in processing large-scale spatial datasets, making it a robust solution for modern spatial data analysis challenges.

The growing need for faster and more energy-efficient digital systems has made it crucial to design effective Arithmetic Logic Units (ALUs). Traditional ALU designs often struggle with issues related to power use, circuit complexity, and delays, especially as device sizes keep shrinking. This work details the design and implementation of an optimized 8-bit ALU using standard digital logic methods suitable for VLSI applications. The new architecture can perform a wide variety of arithmetic and logical operations while focusing on simpler hardware, lower delays, and better energy efficiency. A streamlined control unit is included to allow for smooth operation switching with minimal extra work. Simulation results show that the new ALU provides stable performance with lower power needs and reduced gate use compared to standard designs. These features make the proposed ALU a strong option for low-power embedded systems, high-speed processors, and modern digital computing platforms.

Toni Morrison's Beloved (1987) is a profound exploration of the enduring trauma of slavery and its intergenerational impact on Black women, families, and communities. Set in post-Civil War Ohio, the novel examines how the haunting memories of enslavement persist through what Morrison terms "rememory," where the past continually intrudes upon the present. This article analyses the intersections of trauma, memory, and motherhood in Beloved, exploring how Morrison redefines freedom, love, and maternal identity within the psychological and historical "afterlife of slavery." The study highlights how Morrison transforms the physical and emotional scars of racial violence into acts of narrative resistance and moral reclamation. Through the central figure of Sethe, a mother whose act of infanticide embodies both defiance and grief; Morrison exposes the contradictions of motherhood under slavery and the radical dimensions of maternal love. The novel's fragmented structure, spectral imagery, and multiplicity of voices mirror the fractured nature of traumatic memory, while its womanist perspective situates motherhood as a site of both pain and empowerment. Ultimately, Beloved functions as a counter-archive that reclaims silenced histories and converts private anguish into collective remembrance, portraying motherhood not only as a burden but as an enduring act of resistance, survival, and spiritual healing.

Anti-wrinkle technology now in use is based on the fact that wrinkles are an inevitable consequence of aging owing to the destruction of scleroprotein fibers and considerable loss of collagen. Due to the stratum corneum's great resilience, conventional therapies like laser and Botulinum toxin have some disadvantages, such as adverse skin reactions, time-consuming treatment methods, and ineffective anti-wrinkle product penetration. In light of this, the cosmetics industry has developed a number of products based on solid and dissolvable microneedles (MNs) combined with antiwrinkle formulations, taking advantage of the patient-compliant technology of MNs to treat skin wrinkles. However, the high molecular weight of the medicines limits the use of these MNs for medication delivery. Although a greater variety of active agents can be delivered by hollow MNs (HMNs), this is an area of antiwrinkle technology that has not received much attention. In this study, we address this gap by discussing the potential of bioinspired 3D printed HMNs in the treatment of wrinkles on the skin. We contrast anti-wrinkling treatment alternatives from the past and present, as well as the methods and difficulties associated with their production and marketing.

The evolution of modernism as a transformative literary movement, and the subsequent transitional shift from modernist to postmodernist paradigms, finds its intellectual roots in the Enlightenment movement of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The philosophers and thinkers of that era advocated for a radical shift in the human perception of the world, prioritizing objective, rational methodologies of thought over the adherence to perceived delusions or superstitions. Following this trajectory, modernist writers systematically rejected traditionalist or conventional notions of art, instead generating literary works characterized by a callous, bleakly realistic, and often starkly unembellished perspective. Postmodernism, however, ventures significantly further in its sophisticated depiction of 'reality,' as the writers associated with this period intentionally replaced traditional illusionism with complex modes of abstraction. Kurt Vonnegut Jr. occupies an exceptionally prominent position at the absolute forefront of postmodern art due to his deliberate destabilization of the dominant discourses of religion, science, technology, and historical progress. He achieves this through the intricate intertwining of diverse narrative techniques situated within the specific rhetorical framework of black humor. The present study endeavors to critically examine the specific metafictional elements that Vonnegut employs throughout Cat's Cradle, focusing specifically on how these techniques facilitate a profound defamiliarization of the real. It is this systematic disruption of the reader's expectations and the subversion of established truths that ultimately imparts a distinctiveness and an enduring postmodern resonance to his literary work.
