 Abstract

Literature freezes life through words. The word literature etymologically comes from the Latin word 'literature' or 'litteratura' which means 'writing formed with letters'. This paper is an attempt to explore the concept of misogyny where the women are made to feel inferior because she is a woman. Misogyny defines the inherent superiority of men over women. Even Sigmund Freud supports misogyny and created a controversy in one his papers entitled "Women oppose change, receive passively, and add nothing of their own". In all the novels of Shenoy there is a portrayal of male chauvinism and how women are deprived of their rights and freedom. This paper depicts the the enslavement, subjugation and the oppression faced by women and how they overcome the struggle or barriers imposed on women to gain success in their life.

 Abstract

Anemia may be brought on by a decrease in RBC synthesis, an increase in RBC oxidation, or blood loss. According to the RBC's size, haematologists classify anemia into macrocytic, normocytic, and microcytic subgroups. Iron can be found in the body in a number of places. A number of hematologic and biochemical indicators, including blood iron, total body iron (measured by ferritin), transport iron (measured by transferrin saturation), and others, are used to identify the severity of iron shortage. The initial phase of declining iron reservesisknown as iron depletion when there is a shortage of iron. This study were conductedintheurban areas of district Dehradun. The subjects were selected on the basis of females of Reproductive age group. The women of reproductive age (18 to 49 years) were selected by Stratified random sampling .Total number of 200 subjects willing to participate in thestudywere identified. The self-modified KAP questions on Iron Deficiency anemiawasinterrogated to all the 200 subjects based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria of thestudy. Among 200 women age wise distribution of women showed that the most of thewomenwere in the age group 18-28 years (27.5%) followed by 28-38 years (45%), 38-48years(32.5%). Out of 200 women, 65% had knowledge about anemia and 35%didn't knowtheterm of anemia. Only 47.5% had knowledge about the symptoms of anemia and52.5%didn't know about the symptoms of anemia. 41.5% knew about the causes of anemiaand58.5 % did't know about it. 27.5% knew about ways to prevent anemia and 72.5%didn'tknow about it. Only 5% knew about beverages that decrease iron absorption whentakenwith meals 95% didn't know about it. 4% knew about foods that hinder iron absorptionif taken during meals but 96% didn't know about it,11% were not likely about theself- awareness regarding anemia and 24% were not sure and 65% were likely about this. 16.5%were not serious regarding anemia and 42.5% were serious and 41% were not sure. 11.5%were not feel good to prepare meals with iron rich foods and 37 % were not sure and51.5%were good. 87% were not feel difficult to prepare meals with iron rich foods and8%wereso-so and 10 % were difficult.

Migraine is one of the most common neurovascular disabling disorders encountered in Shalakya practice. Migraine can be defined as a paroxysmal affection having a sudden onset accompanied by usually unilateral severe headache. In Ayurveda, Migraine is described as Ardhaavabhedhaka which is a major health issue among people of age group 20 to 50 years. According to WHO, migraine is the third most common disease in the world with an estimated global prevalence of 14.7% (around 1 in 7 people).1 Chronic Migraine affects about 2% of world population2 with female and male ratio 3:1.3 The attack gives warning before it strikes black spots or a brilliant zigzag line appears before the eyes or the patient has blurring of vision or halos around the light, this type of headache is called headache with aura. It is also called as "sick headache" because nausea and vomiting occasionally accompany the excruciating pain which lasts for 4 to 5 hours. Ayurveda believes in treating the disease at its root cause from within. The present article is a case report of 27 years old male who visited OPD 2 at SSAM college of Ayurveda and Hospital, Hadapsar, Pune with a known case of migraine since 6 years. The patient was treated with Ayurvedic managements: both sodhana and shamana chikitsa, under IPD and then OPD basis for 2 months. The patient experienced no attack of migraine even within 2 months of interval. This helps to achieve complete curative and prophylactic management of migraine through Ayurveda.

 Abstract

संसार में जीव और अजीव ये दो मुख्य तत्त्व होते हैं। जब इनमें सम्पर्क होता है तो एक ऐसी शक्ति का निर्माण होता है जिसके कारण जीव की नाना प्रकार की दशाओं का अनुभव होता है। जैन दर्शन के सात तत्त्व है जीव, अजीव, आश्रय, बंध, संवर, निर्जरा और मोक्ष। इनमें जीव और अजीव इन दोनों तत्वों को 'द्रव्य' कहते हैं। द्रव्य वह है जो अपने गुणों और परिवर्तनों में और उनके रहते हुए भी अपनी स्थिरता को नहीं खोता। जैन मत में प्रत्येक अवस्था के दो स्वरूप होते हैं 'भाव' और 'द्रव्य'। अव्यक्त की दशा को 'भाव' कहते है और व्यक्त की अवस्था में उसे 'द्रव्य' कहते हैं। जीव चेतन है और अजीव अचेतन है' एक आत्मा है और दूसरा अनात्मा। दूसरे में पुद्गल के अलावा देश और काल भी आ जाते हैं।

Introduction: Vatarakta, classified as a Mahavatavyadhi and as a separate disease in the scriptures has evoked attention of the Ayurvedic physicians because of its versatility in symptoms. Focussing on a single disease elaborated in modern science and equate it to Vatarakta cannot be considered as an apt methodology. Rather, Vatarakta can be understood as a conglomeration of different diseases such as autoimmune disorders, peripheral arterial disease and gouty arthritis to name a few. Material and Methods: In this case study, a 48-year-old male patient diagnosed with peripheral vascular disease was treated with the aid of the principles of Vatarakta chikitsa and medications suitable to the disease under consideration. Discussion: Shamana modality of treatment was advocated for the patient. The findings were obtained with timely monitoring of the symptoms and condition of the disease. Medications which included Guduchyadi Kashaya,Patoladi Kashaya,Kaishor Guggulu, Guggulu tiktakakashaya and Jatyaditaila provided significant relief. Conclusion: Study result indicates that Ayurvedic drugs can be cured Peripheral vascular disease.

This paper explores the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in advancing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives within organizations. By leveraging AI technologies, including machine learning and natural language processing, companies can address systemic biases in recruitment, performance evaluation, and talent management processes. AI-driven tools facilitate the identification and mitigation of biases, promote fairness and transparency, and enable personalized learning and development opportunities. Moreover, AI enhances supplier diversity efforts, community engagement strategies, and collaborative innovation ecosystems, driving meaningful societal impact. However, successful integration of AI in DEI-focused CSR initiatives requires careful consideration of ethical implications, transparency, and stakeholder engagement. Through strategic alignment and responsible implementation, organizations can harness the transformative potential of AI to foster inclusive cultures, drive equitable outcomes, and contribute to building a more diverse and inclusive society.

 Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of synchronous versus asynchronous forms of computer-mediated feedback (CMF) on writing self-efficacy among ESL undergraduate students at the University of Mysore, India. A total of forty-one second-year students participated in a quasi-experimental study spanning two months. They were randomly assigned to two groups: one group received synchronous CMF (immediately while composing their essays), whereas the other received asynchronous CMF (two days after they had completed writing). Over the course of the study, participants engaged in six writing tasks, iterating through the process of (write, review, and revise). A self-efficacy for writing scale was administered before and after the experiment to gauge the impact of synchronous and asynchronous CMF modes on learners' writing self-efficacy. The findings indicated that both groups demonstrated improvements in writing self-efficacy levels before and after the intervention; nonetheless, the synchronous mode displayed notably higher efficacy.

 Abstract

The Unani System of Medicine has its origins in Egypt and its sister civilization, Mesopotamia, with its earliest roots often attributed to Hermes (Idris A. S.). While it took on a more scientific form under the influence of Hippocrates in ancient Greece, it was further refined and developed by Arab and Persian physicians. Upon its journey to India, the Unani System underwent significant enhancement and refinement, owing to the substantial contributions of Indian physicians. The amalgamation of diverse influences and advancements from various cultures has enriched and shaped the Unani System of Medicine. Hakim Nizamuddin Ahmad Gilani stands out as one of the eminent Unani physicians in India, having authored several important books on Unani medicine. The medical heritage of Hyderabad dates back to a period predating the European Dark Age. The mausoleum of the renowned physician Hakim Nizamuddin Ahmad Gilani is situated in the Qutb Shahi Heritage Park in Hyderabad, serving as a testament to his contributions. He established extensive herbal gardens also. Hakim Nizamuddin held the esteemed position of chief royal physician under King Abdullah, Qutb Shah VII, in 1045 AH (1635 AD) receiving an annual salary of 6,000 Qutb Shahi Huns, equivalent to approximately 206 kilograms of gold coins. In modern currency, this amount translates to roughly Rs 62 crore per annum. His significant contributions led to the naming of two localities in Hyderabad after him: Hakimpet near Shamirpet and Hakimpet in Jubilee Hills. The latter features a special medical garden spread across hundreds of acres.

A newborn is like the beginning of new things, new responsibilities, new journey, new life. It comes in our life with new hope, new dreams. So, the preparation to bring this newborn into the world should also be special. A Fetus also needs a healthy environment to grow up and environment for the Fetus is his/her mother's womb, father's affections, love and care by other family members or surrounding which Fetus receives through her mother's turmoil of emotions. So, it's not only the sole responsibility of the mother to grow up and deliver a healthy child. It demands everybody's contribution. To lead a healthy pregnancy, it's important to prepare ourselves prior to conception so that it can help to grow a Fetus in a healthy manner.

 Abstract

Within Indian patriarchal families, a well-established preference for male progeny resulted in the loss of girls either before or after their birth. The son preference in India is comprehended within several different strands of thought, which are still considered part of cultural beliefs and practices. The preference for a male child has been seen as an expression of traditional social behavior. And the gender disparity of socio-economic rights is also enforced to choose the male progeny in a patriarchal society. As I consider film and sociology to be linked, in this article I would like to analyze'son preference' in the aspect of post-nineties alternative cinema. Influenced by feminist theories and the new world view, it proposes that as committed artists, alternative filmmakers have tried to depict the struggle for reproductive and sexual rights, which has led to a progressive feminization of the theory and practice of governance, development, human rights, and justice. Simultaneously, I would like to locate how patriarchal these cinemas are subtly, even when they articulate the rights of the womb. Is it possible to contextualize these films in multiple locations and categorize them accordingly to have a much more disaggregated view and bring out the fractures within the new vision of gender?

 Abstract

Competence is the deliberate application of one's own knowledge, aptitudes, skills, talents, attitudes, values, and behavioural patterns to deal with challenges and difficulties. It is the state of possessing and exhibiting skills, abilities, or aptitudes in the satisfactory completion of a learning task. A person must possess competence in order to function well in any type of workplace. Competence is a specified behaviour. It is the extent to which a goal has been accomplished in terms of both timeliness and quality. Teachers in educational institutions are supposed to guide, inspire, explain, and comprehend their pupils in order to support their harmonious development. Acquiring knowledge and a validated qualification alone does not guarantee achieving the aforementioned goals. In light of urbanisation, technological improvements, and industrialization on a local and global scale, it is imperative that teachers possess a suitable understanding of child psychology, its necessities, and developmental principles. The present paper is an attempt to discuss the role of teaching competence in the teaching learning nexus.
