Authors: - Judith Agot Odhiambo
Published: March 2024

Background: Plants remain vital as sources of traditional medicine towards management of various health challenges. Various parts such as leaves, stem bark, roots, flowers, and corms of different plants are utilized to manage a lot of human ailments. Proper identification of these plants together with their parts remain imperative for effective utilization. Gladiolus (Iridaceae) is a genus that consists of underground corms and has strikingly showy flowers. The corms are mostly rounded and symmetrically enveloped with fibrous tunics. Species in this genus are utilized widely to treat a number of diseases and health conditions. Presently the main and sure way to identify these plants is by use of their showy flowers; however, in Kenya, this becomes a challenge during dry seasons when the plants are not in flower. Objective: This study investigated the use of features of corms as possible additional features for identification of Gladiolus species found in Kenya; Gladiolus watsonoides, G. goetzenii, G. ukambanensis and G.newii. Method: Physical and histological features of corms were evaluated according to Rolls, 2011, to investigate for possible differences across the different species. Results: Although the analysis of the cells of corms and leaves compared did not reveal any obvious differences, the outward morphologies of corms were different across different species in terms of colour, shape, and textures of the tunics. Conclusion: Therefore, corms form an additional feature of taxonomic value for identification and collection of these plants in the absence of flowers.
The Victims Who Refused to be Rescued: Lived Experiences of Victims of Sex Trafficking
Authors: - ZEDNY C. IMMATONG
Published: March 2024

While many are at risk of becoming victims of sex trafficking, there are still "unrescued victims". This study seeks to answer why victims of sex trafficking refuse to leave the environment in which they have been and continue to be victimized. It utilized a phenomenological study to reveal the experiences of the victims of sex trafficking through interviews as further supported by a group discussion amongst pimps. The study found that participants' need for income and desires to improve their lifestyle influenced their decision to remain victims. Anent, the victims' pre-victimization life status is linked to their decision to stay/leave. The more destitute the victims, the more likely they are to remain in the sex industry. Furthermore, despite the abuses, victims' perceptions of their victimization have positively shifted over the years of captivity. The participants personally perceived themselves from forced victims to persons who maintain their victimization as profession. The economic-benefit, the deception of the pimps, and culture of the locale collectively play apart in this shift of perception. The study comes to an unusual conclusion about victimization in sex trafficking. Recognizing this phenomenon may prompt better interventions by authorities in developing more inclusive rescue, counseling, and victim-centered programs.

Authors: - Ahmad Fahim Bahadori
Published: March 2024

Pakistan has been facing internal security threats from extremism, terrorism, and militancy for several decades. These challenges have led to a struggle against different extremist groups, which has severely affected the country's internal security, stability, and progress. These profoundly entrenched phenomena
have led individuals and groups to embrace extremist ideologies, undermining the nation's efforts toward stability and progress. The purpose of the study is to recognize the multifaceted nature of extremism and the hard and soft approaches by the government to counter the spread of extremist narratives and
ideologies. This research explores the shift from a military approach to soft measures, including deradicalization programs, counter-narrative campaigns, educational reforms, and community-based initiatives. Through extensive secondary data collection and analysis, the impact of Pakistan's soft strategy
on different target groups, such as youth, former militants, and vulnerable communities, was examined. The study revealed how drivers like political, social, and religious have been associated with violent extremism and how different extremist groups use these factors as a yardstick to get involved in violence. The analyses provide the basis for a common framework for resisting extremist ideology. It revealed that critical stakeholders, including religious leaders, civil society organizations, and educational institutions, are critical in promoting counter-narratives and fostering an environment of tolerance and moderation. By drawing insights from successful international practices and models, the study provided recommendations for strengthening Pakistan's strategy in countering extremism through community resilience, capacity building initiatives, and a comprehensive national action plan for a coordinated and sustainable approach.

Published: March 2024

Man-Woman relationships revolving around the themes of romance and friendship, possessiveness and jealousy, understandings and misunderstandings have fascinated writers across the globe from time immemorial. The notions of patriarchy have profoundly influenced the writers in the portrayal of their characters. Nevertheless, there are writers who preferred to choose the paths untrodden. Henrik Johan Ibsen, the Norwegian playwright of the late nineteenth century, could successfully create a powerful character in Nora Helmer, the female protagonist in his play, “A Doll’s House”. Nora is a woman who is denied of any self-fulfilment in a male-dominated marriage. The play created great sensation due to its unconventional ending. Transcending across the borders and boundaries of age and of nation, the storyline remains unchanging even in the present century. Sudha Murty, the new millennium writer in India presents an equally strong character, Shrimati Deshpande in her novel “Gently Falls the Bakula”. Shrimati becomes disillusioned and dissatisfied with her supercilious husband and hence emerges out to arrive at an appropriate decision. Both Nora and Shrimati shatter the patriarchal hegemony and raise a voice of protest against male dominance.

Authors: - Nitnem Singh Sodhi
Published: March 2024

This paper presents a comprehensive theoretical framework for understanding and consciously controlling the cognitive faculty of attention. It analyzes how language and the subject-object dichotomy fundamentally shape human thought processes. The pivotal role of attention in steering cognitive functions is examined, along with how it is influenced by cognitive biases. The brain is conceptualized as an information processing system, with attention serving as the navigational mechanism guiding cognitive faculties. The framework emphasizes the importance of articulation to effectively regulate attentional allocation. Innovative techniques are given, including a modified self-questioning method that leverages the linguistic basis of cognition to monitor and rectify attentional lapses. Grounded in neuroscience, psychology, and evolutionary theory, the paper elucidates neurological mechanisms behind conscious attentional control, including how to stop the thinking process. Potential applications range from improving cognitive performance and emotional regulation to facilitating goal attainment and overall well-being across domains.

Cryptocurrency is reshaping the financial landscape, gaining popularity and acceptance among merchants. Despite the increasing investments in cryptocurrency, its dynamic features, uncertainties, and predictability remain largely unknown, posing significant investment risks. This study aims to understand the factors influencing cryptocurrency value formation. Leveraging advanced artificial intelligence frameworks like fully connected Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Recurrent Neural Network, we analyze the price dynamics of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple. Our findings indicate that ANN relies more on long-term history, while LSTM focuses on short-term dynamics, suggesting LSTM's superior efficiency in utilizing historical information. However, with sufficient historical data, ANN can achieve comparable accuracy to LSTM. This study underscores the predictability of cryptocurrency market prices, though the explanation may vary depending on the machine-learning model employed.

Authors: - Pritam Basak
Published: March 2024

The motive of this paper is to examine identity as a metaphor of change in the interface of trauma and disability study. The creation of identity and meaning in disability study, especially caused by disasters like chemical leakage, is reformulated by the effect of traumatic situations in the socio-political-psychological existence. Identity gets divided into post-human combination of ‘self’ and ‘other’. It is also reframed by the memory of past in contrast with present, and by the allegorical existence of dream and reality. Such is in the case of Indra Sinha’s Animal’s People (2007), which represents the tragedy caused by Bhopal Gas disaster. It reflects on the modification of identity, especially in the character of Animal (a disabled victim), springing from normal to paranormal entity due to the memory of traumatic night. There are other characters such as Somraji and Maa Francis, who collectively suffer from identity crisis due to the memory of ‘that night’. Thus, the formation of identity varies over the experience of traumatic events of ‘that night’.

Authors: - Sumit Chaurasia
Published: March 2024

Tragedy as a genre is vital as it is an emotional exercise which helps people learn compassion for others. William Shakespeare, also known as “Bard of Avon,” was an English poet and playwright, often considered by many to be the greatest dramatist of all time. The protagonist Macbeth, a noble and sensible person, highly esteemed Thane of Glamis and Cawdor, lets his ambition for power win over his morality despite being intensely self-conscious, leading him to commit atrocious crimes under an unjust monarchical system which made the bloodshed inevitable, making the audience empathize with him as well as feel outraged with him, which also reflects his own dilemma regarding his actions and the path he has taken. A series of murders and his recognition of the meaninglessness of his life eventually leads him to a warrior’s death in the battlefield, leaving the audience feeling terror and pity together.

Good inclusive education allows all pupils to participate equally or almost equally in all elements of the classroom. To build stronger and more inclusive schools, educators, parents and community leaders must work together to solve the problems. The Indian government is working to improve its education system by emphasizing an inclusive approach. The concept of inclusiveness is not new to India. In today's world, the emphasis is still on creating an inclusive atmosphere for all children. Inclusive education refers to the education of all children in conventional schools, including those with and without disabilities. It is a method that takes into account each child's individual qualities, interests, abilities and learning needs. Inclusive education is gaining ground in today's education system. Inclusion without 'adequate' general education preparation will not produce satisfactory results. Capacity for inclusive education needs to be built at all levels.
