Transgender Community: Historical Perspectives, Legal Progress, and Ongoing Marginalization
Authors: - SWETHA JETTI
Published: January 2025

As per conventional norms, Gender has been categorized primarily as male and female, purely based on biological anatomy. Individuals who do not conform to this conventional norm of a biological binary, are referred to as ‘transgender’. This term encompasses all individuals whose gender identity does not comply with the societal expectations associated with their birth-assigned sex. Transgender individuals, often stereotyped as performers in local bars or beggars knocking on car windows, are part of one of the most marginalized groups in society.
Despite the constitutional provisions stated in Articles 14(equality before the law and equal protection of laws), 15(protection against discrimination), and 21(right to live with dignity), these rights remain largely unfulfilled for transgender individuals, who continue to face marginalization and social exclusion in critical aspects of life such as family, education, employment, and healthcare. This makes them vulnerable to injustice and discrimination.
Landmark judgments like Navtej Singh Johar v. Union of India, which decriminalized consensual same-sex relationships, and NALSA v. Union of India, which recognized transgender individuals rights, marked significant progress in recognizing transgender rights. However, the fact remains that the practical impact of these landmark judgements falls short due to ineffective implementation. Poor enforcement of rights compounded by deep-seated biases and lack of awareness, contribute to the exclusion and marginalization of the transgender community.
This paper highlights the daily struggles and discrimination faced by transgender individuals in their pursuit for equality and dignity. Despite the progress made in raising awareness about the sad state of transgender individuals, significant hardships continue to afflict this marginalized group. This paper explores how landmark judgments have sought to address these issues and examines the socio-legal barriers that hinder their effective implementation.
Investigating The Role of Social Media in Facilitating Literary Collaborations and Community Building
Authors: - Dr. Shahid Husain
Published: January 2025

Literature simply means the written records of the race, including history and sciences, as well as poems, songs, stories, novels, and dramas. It serves as the artistic record of life and civilization. The next characteristic of literature is suggestiveness, evoking our emotions and imagination rather than our intellect. All arts reflect truth and beauty that exist in the world but go unnoticed until they are brought to light by sensitive human souls. However, good literature is indeed universal, transcending nationalities and boundaries, and is only bound by the principles of humanity. It focuses mostly on basic feelings and emotions such as love, hate, joy, sorrow, fear, and faith, which are crucial aspects of human nature; the more it portrays these emotions, the more it resonates with people from all backgrounds. Thus, literature can be broadly divided into two main aspects: one for enjoyment and appreciation, and the other for analysis and precise depiction. The progress of media, artificial intelligence, ChatGPT, and information technology has caused a significant change in how literary content is produced and shared. The impact of social media in our daily lives has a pervasive effect. The study of this paper is to explore the multifaceted impact of social media on the style of literary writings and how some platforms of social media like Twitter, Instagram, Meta YouTube, TikTok, and several others have shaped the modern evolution of communication.
A Sociological Study on Gender Role in Religious Organizations: with special reference to Srimanta Sankardeva Sangha of Assam
Authors: - Dr. Santana Dutta , - Priyanka Gayan
Published: January 2025

Abstract:
Medieval history of Assam is largely depended on religious movements. The Neo–Vaishnavite movement initiated by Srimanta Sankardeva in 15th century was a socio-religious and cultural movement. In Assam religious norms and values play a significant role in regulating gender roles in social life. The medieval Assamese society was very conservative and women were almost confined to their homes. Women had no respect at that time. Srimanta Sankardeva tries to extend the role of women in the practice of devotional religion. Over the years Srimanta Sankardeva Sangha emerged with the aim to introduce brotherhood and harmony in Assamese society. The Sangha also leads to all round development of women. The paper focuses on the ways in which gender role has changed significantly in Neo-Vaishnavism as well as religious organizations in Assam. This study also focuses how religious institutions such as the Srimanta Sankardeva Sangha bring changes in the role of women in the religious sphere.

Authors: - Hiisa Samuel , - Hassan Mwanga
Published: January 2025

The study investigated the relationship between slope cultivation and nutrient availability. It evaluated the effect of slope cultivation on soil PH, Organic Matter (OM) and base cations. It documented practices and factors that affect soil chemical quality, determined the effect of slope and slope cultivation on soil chemical quality and the potential strategies and interventions needed to mitigate the negative effects of slope cultivation on soil quality to enhance agricultural productivity and sustainability. The study utilized questionnaires, interviews, field observations, focus group discussions, and analysis of soil chemical properties at the Top, Middle, and Bottom slopes every 100 meters in a 0-20 cm depth range for both cultivated and uncultivated slopes. Inadequate agricultural practices negatively affected soil quality; only some effective soil conservation measures, such as terracing, were implemented. Intensive cultivation across the slopes (99.3%) was observed with minimal deep tillage to redistribute nutrients within the soil layers. Soil erosion was the major factor that affected soil chemical quality and reduced crop yield, leading to compensation through fertilizer application due to nutrient loss from the soil. Slope significantly affected soil chemicals, causing a reduction by (>50%) at the top slope except for PH (17.5%) and (>45%) in the middle slope except for PH (8.1%) and organic matter (20%) and (>40%)at the Bottom except for PH (9.3%) and total nitrogen (28.6%). slope cultivation affected pH (p<0.01), total nitrogen (p<0.01), magnesium (p<0.01), available phosphorous(p<0.01.), calcium and potassium(p<0.01) except organic matter levels. While slope gradients influenced variations in overall soil quality, milder gradients exhibited higher nutrient content than steeper ones. The findings concluded that: (1) Agricultural activities on cultivated slopes detrimentally affected soil quality. (2) Agricultural practices contributed to increased erosion, resulting in substantial loss of nutrients. (3) Cultivated areas displayed inferior health indicators relating to uniformly poor performance regarding their environmental well-being. (4) Variation occurred based on varying slope inclination affecting overall chemical attributes directly connected with specific distribution patterns' characteristics showcased by differentiating terrain conditions.

Authors: - Manidipa Chatterjee
Published: January 2025

The study is based on measuring the Emotional Intelligence (EI) level among the sample of 120 women employees working in service sector. Mostly data were collected from IT/ITES, banking & retail sector employees through a pretested structured questionnaire. The structured questionnaire was framed based on the five factors of EI as depicted by Daniel Goleman like self-awareness, self-regulations, motivation, social awareness and social skill. Results from the statistical analysis revealed that all the five sub factors of Emotional Intelligence (EI) varies with one or the other demographic profile of the sample respondents like age, marital status, no. of children, education level, type of organization, designation, income level and total years of job experiences. On an average the women having children rate themselves higher in terms of all the five factors of EI rather than women having no child. Again, between married and unmarried respondents, unmarried respondents rate them higher in terms of the five factors of Emotional Intelligence rather than the married respondents. This study also highlights the fact that EI is an essential determinant for effective leadership and an integral element of the new transformational leadership approach. So, women can also have the same potential to become effective and successful leaders by developing and enhancing their EI skills. Women’s’ feminine leadership behaviour and high emotional fluctuations emerged from learning and relearning the EI skills.

Published: January 2025

This paper intends to explore the key features of cloud security, highlighting core practices and strategies in data and application protection within cloud setups. First, it explains cloud computing and the different types of services - service models and deployment models. It subsequently centres on cloud security, detailing the potential risks and threats that could occur, including data breaches and account hijacking. The paper also covers fundamental security practices to reduce these risks, such as data encryption and access control. Thus, to establish the security of information saved on a network during the process of transmission, data encryption must be carried out. In the same vein, user management methods such as Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and multifactor authentication must be enabled and enforced to minimise access to sensitive information and systems. The need to protect cloud applications is also addressed, emphasising the importance of application security testing and container security. Therefore, each stage of the application development lifecycle can be secured, reducing vulnerabilities and the potential for attacks. Finally, the paper includes a discussion on cloud security compliance and regulation. Organisations must adhere to specific standards and regulations to secure sensitive data and meet the various requirements. By fulfilling these requirements, organisations can avoid legal and reputational risks.

Authors: - Sabu Paul , - Manjusha Mohanan , - Latha Mary Cherian , - Kristina Sabu
Published: January 2025

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a prevalent chronic inflammatory disease that primarily affects middle-aged women. There is a substantial chance that OLP lesions will acquire a cancerization field and undergo malignant transformation. Laminin 5 gamma 2, a key component of the epithelial basement membrane, was studied in oral lichen planus and oral squamous cell carcinomas using immunohistochemical methods in this study to understand its function. Ten cases each of clinically and histopathologically confirmed oral lichen planus and oral squamous cell carcinoma were included in this study. The stain distribution in each OLP and OSCC cases were observed in the basement membrane. Immunohistochemical expression of laminin 5 gamma 2 shows a continuous line of staining in the basement membrane in 8 cases of OLP. In oral squamous cell carcinoma most cases (5/10) showed a discontinuous basement membrane immunohistochemical staining pattern. In accordance to this study, laminin expression is more strongly associated with the malignant potential of premalignant lesions such as OLP, and its total absence indicates a poorly differentiated carcinoma.

Complexities of revenge and interpersonal relationships A psychoanalytic feminist study of the movies “Bulbbul” and “Qala” directed by Anvita Dutt
Authors: - Archisha Singh
Published: January 2025

This research conducts a comprehensive feminist analysis of two of Anvita Dutt's acclaimed films, "Bulbbul" and "Qala," emphasising on the intricate interplay of revenge, interpersonal relationships, and the representation of women in commercial Hindi cinema. Recognizing cinema as a mirror reflecting societal ideologies, the examination commences with Lacan's psychoanalytic theory, considering films are transformative mirrors for viewers seeking self-identity through on-screen characters. Positioned at the crossroads of various feminist theories, the research addresses historical challenges posed by phallocentric filmmaking, particularly within the South Asian context, where traditional gender roles and heteropatriarchal norms have marginalised women. Moving beyond initial frameworks like Laura Mulvey's "male gaze" and Judith Butler's "gender performativity," the analysis incorporates additional lenses, including Elaine Showalter's “three waves of feminism and intersectionality,” providing a more comprehensive understanding. Drawing from John Bowlby's Attachment theory and feminist relational theory, the research explores the emotional landscape and power dynamics of characters in the films, unravelling nuanced interactions influenced by societal expectations and gender norms. The incorporation of postmodern feminist theories allows an examination of how the films challenge established gender norms through narrative experimentation. Methodologically, a mixed-methods approach, encompassing qualitative film analysis, content analysis, literature review, historical analysis, psychoanalytic examination, intersectional analysis, and a comparative analysis, ensures a holistic exploration. This research aims to contribute significantly to feminist film studies by delving into the intricate complexities of "Bulbbul" and "Qala," situated at the intersection of psychoanalytic, feminist, and sociological theories, providing a deeper understanding of how these films challenge traditional gender norms in the evolving tapestry of Indian cinema.

Authors: - Dr. Anil Gaman Ahire
Published: January 2025

Chimamanda Adichie tells a story of coming of age in her book Purple Hibiscus. Consequently, a great deal has been written on the ideas and motifs in Adichie's writing, especially Purple Hibiscus; yet, the concerns surrounding cultural discourse in Nigeria have rarely been the main subject of discussion. Typically, the work deals with a number of subjects that examine the evolving patterns of cultural discourse in Nigeria. This paper's main goals are to examine some of the novel's major themes and delve into the Achike family's and Nigerian society's cultural discourses.

Authors: - Sheena Queen P. Peñafiel
Published: January 2025

With an emphasis on its effects on long-term financial objectives, resilience, and family security, this study examines the role of life insurance in Philippine parents' financial planning. Life insurance has become an essential tool for maintaining financial stability and protecting the futures of dependents and children in the face of growing living expenses and economic uncertainty. A structured survey was used to collect data from 150 parents in Metro Manila who had dependents as part of a quantitative research design. The study evaluates life insurance policies' expected value, payment plans, and perceived benefits in order to determine how important they are for risk management, including debt, income loss, and educational costs. According to the findings, life insurance is essential to parental financial planning, particularly for parents who place a high value on their kids' education and future stability.
Methods to Uncover Attitudes of Discrimination
Authors: - Shradha Parashari , - Wim Groot
Published: January 2025

This paper aims to study the mechanisms used to uncover attitudes of discrimination. Two primary methodologies used in the field are distinguished: the audit and the correspondence approaches. By examining the available literature, the paper highlights the significance of field experiments in revealing pervasive discrimination against marginalized groups in various contexts, including employment, housing, and education. The correspondence approach, in particular, has produced a substantial body of evidence demonstrating persistent biases against minorities, prompting important discussions among researchers, policymakers, and in the media. However, while the findings underscore the need for continuous examination of discriminatory practices, the paper identifies a concerning stagnation in methodological innovation within the correspondence approach. Most studies still rely on fictitious CVs, limiting the complexity of real-world interactions captured in these experiments. The paper argues for the necessity of methodological diversity and collaboration across disciplines to enhance the understanding of discrimination mechanisms, ultimately informing public policy and fostering equitable treatment for all individuals.
Economic Growth, Human Development and Gender Equality: A trend analysis
Authors: - Sarita Agrawal , - Vijay Jariwala
Published: January 2025

According to the UN (2002), “equality is the cornerstone of every democratic society that aspires to social justice and human rights.” Positive change in gender equality is associated with improvement in economic growth (World Bank 2011), it is also intricately linked to human development. Women and men share many aspects of living together, collaborate with each other in complex and ubiquitous ways, and yet end up — often enough — with very different rewards and deprivations. Human development and gender equality are linked with each other. Gender equality is a development goal, a means of achieving other development goals, and a fundamental human right. There is a strong case at this time for concentrating specifically for a more comprehensive investigation of gender inequality in economic and social arrangements in the contemporary world. The present paper attempts to examine an empirical relationship between economic growth, human development, and gender development.

Arson is defined as the deliberate and malicious burning of property having three main elements which includes burning of property, burning is incendiary in origin and the burning was started with the intent of destroying the property. There is a misconception that fingerprints and blood evidence cannot be retrieved when it is exposed to extremely high temperatures and hence in most of the cases, the perpetrators set up fire in the crime scenes in order to conceal a crime. This literature speaks about the methods which could be used to efficiently retrieve fingerprints and blood evidence from the scene of crime primarily using SPR and latex lifting method respectively. Infrared (780nm to 1 mm) photography can also be used to capture the blood evidence as blood undergoes oxidation when exposed to higher temperature.
SPR- Small particle reagent is an effective fingerprint developing method which is useful to collect fingerprints from wet, non-porous surfaces. Liquid latex is a material used to produce forms and moulded areas in handmade articles, latex clothing etc.., It exists in liquid form and on drying it turns out to be an elastic film which can easily pulled from a surface hence it is used as a method of preservation of dermal ridge evidence and also to retrieve DNA from the blood in the arson crime scene
