 Abstract

The play The Lion and the Jewel, written by Wole Soyinka depicts the Yaruba culture of Nigerian society. The play is about the African community, its cultural and custom richness. Many ceremonies, traditional festivals and customs are presented in the play that is rich with proverbs, metaphors, legends, myths, and taboos. The play mainly speaks about the roles of women. Most of the society in Africa is patriarchal. They give more importance and roles on the male much more than the female. Women had to struggle with the notion of double colonization. Double colonization is coined by Ketu Katrak, referring to the notion that women in formerly colonized societies were doubly colonized by both imperial and patriarchal ideologies became a catch-phrase of postcolonial and feminist discourses in the 1980s (in Ashcroft, 1996:240). This condition leads to the more complex, struggle and movement of women. Women have been suppressed, harassed and exploited by male dominated society. The playwright brings the pathetic condition of women of Nigerian society on the stage. Their Each and every attempt to escape from the clutches of male supremacy ends in vain. Men, the center of the society holds all power. They treat women as things and never let them enjoy their freedom. This paper is an attempt to discuss the status of subjugated women as depicted in the play.

 Abstract

Historical photographs often exhibit various degrees of deterioration, preserving invaluable visual records of the past. Traditional restoration techniques relying on mathematical equations or thermal diffusion struggle to address the complexity of these images. However, the advent of deep learning has revolutionized the field of image restoration. This study explores the application of deep neural network-based techniques to restore aging photographs, aiming to enhance the quality of results and broaden the scope of restoration possibilities.In this research, we delve into the historical significance of image restoration, tracing its evolution and importance in preserving our visual heritage. We introduce a novel deep learning-based model that harnesses the power of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and generative adversarial networks (GANs) to breathe new life into vintage photographs. This model incorporates state-of-the-art techniques, including super-resolution and noise reduction, to achieve remarkable restoration results.Furthermore, we provide insights into the architectural design, training methodologies, and the fine-tuning of our deep learning model, highlighting its ability to adapt to diverse degradation patterns commonly found in historical photos. We discuss the concept of transfer learning, which leverages pre-trained neural networks to improve restoration accuracy.To add a touch of creativity, we explore the incorporation of design borders that complement the era of the restored photographs, enhancing their visual appeal and historical authenticity.In this work not only contributes to the field of deep learning-based image restoration but also underscores the importance of preserving our cultural heritage through innovative technologies. By offering a comprehensive approach to the revitalization of vintage images, we aim to unlock new avenues for exploring the past and celebrating our shared history.

 Abstract

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world. Due to its potential to cause permanent vision loss, it is important to understand how systemic conditions and their respective treatments can be associated with or increase the risk for developing glaucoma. In this review, we examined the literature for up-to-date discussions and provided commentary on glaucoma, its pathophysiology, and associated risk factors. We discuss systemic diseases and the impact, risk, and mechanism for developing glaucoma, including pharmacologically induced glaucoma; inflammatory and auto-immune conditions; infectious, dermatologic, cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, urologic, neurologic, psychiatric and systemic malignancies: intraocular tumors; as well as pediatric, and genetic conditions. The goal of our discussion of systemic conditions including their commonality, mechanisms, treatments, and associations with developing glaucoma is to emphasize the importance of ocular examinations and follow-up with the multidisciplinary teams involved in the care of each patient to prevent unnecessary vision-loss.

 Abstract

Women entrepreneurs play a crucial role in India's wake of globalization and economic liberalization. Women entrepreneurship has the potential to create new economic opportunities for India and contribute to overall growth, leading to poverty reduction. The increased educational status of women and varied aspirations for better living necessitated a change in the lifestyle of Indian women, leading to the emergence of women entrepreneurs. The sociological setup of Indian society has been male-dominated, which presents a significant challenge to women entrepreneurs. The lack of direct ownership of property, a poor degree of financial freedom for women, and a limited degree of entrepreneurial skills and finance in economically rich and poor women are among the major issues that impede the growth of women entrepreneurship in India. Regardless of the progress made by women entrepreneurs in India, there are still several hurdles that they must overcome to achieve equal rights and positions. Even though women entrepreneurs in India face many challenges, but there are still many success stories of women who have been able to overcome these obstacles and establish thriving businesses. This article aims to explore the challenges and opportunities of women entrepreneurship in India.

Big data streams have become ubiquitous due to the fact that a number of applications generate a huge amount of data at a great velocity. This made it difficult for existing data mining tools, technologies, methods, and techniques to be applied directly on big data streams due to the inherent dynamic characteristics of big data. The growing need to extract knowledge from big data streams has pioneered the challenge of selecting appropriate resources dynamically. Need for an approach that can efficiently overcome those drawbacks and to handle the stream data that takes into account of varied typed resources and application requirements integrally. The profiling of big data streams is a challenging task for getting insights. The profiling includes determining the types of data and dynamically allocating the resources.

 Abstract

The story, "The currency has changed" is evocative and humanistic to the core and makes a profoundly simple point - the rulers divide, but are we divided really? She does this in terms of her central character, her evocative style, and her unique narrative technique and all these blend into a short "slice of history", but in a village and among ordinary people, driving home the lesson, the ageless query- are we really divided? If not, why do we do that? By that very presentation of the absurd horror of partition times, in a short story, she drives home the point of humanism, simply and heartbreakingly. In the following, we will focus on each of the aspects that make this story a masterpiece of literature, that shows an inescapable mirror to the world.

Higher education plays a key role in nation's growth and prosperity by transforming individuals into valuable human resources. The Indian higher education system has evolved significantly since independence, witnessing substantial growth in both quantity and quality. This study explores the dynamics of higher education in India, focusing on aspects such as growth in educational institutions, gender parity, pupil-teacher ratio, and gross enrolment ratio (GER). Using secondary data from All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE), the study reveals that the number of universities and colleges has substantially increased over the years. However, challenges persist, including disparities in access, quality, and gender equality. The Gender Parity Index (GPI) has shown improvements, although gender disparities remain in certain categories. Pupil-teacher ratio (PTR) trends demonstrate variations, with a noticeable increase in recent years, potentially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) has risen, showcasing positive strides in higher education access, although with continued disparities among different categories. Bridging these gaps remains a priority, requiring focused efforts to ensure equal access and quality education for all segments of society.

The students of the present century are becoming addicted to internet due to their excessive use of it. This resulted in causing them to become isolated from the society. This excessive use of the internet or internet addiction decreases student's academic achievement, because of their overestimated use of social media and internet associated entertainment. On the other hand, social isolation provides students with an opportunity to solitary study and gaining deep knowledge, and that is why social isolation helps students to increase their academic achievement.
