Authors: Chithra Ms. S. Aswini
Published: June 2024

In an era dominated by information overload, addressing the proliferation of fake news, misinformation, and disinformation has become an imperative. The trio of fake news, misinformation, and disinformation is not a new phenomenon, but traces its evolution from the ancient period. The spread of false information during the Spanish-American War and the influence of Nazi propaganda serves as poignant reminders of the enduring impact of false narratives. Journalists – as final gatekeepers of quality (read: unadulterated) news – has a pivotal role to play, especially in this age of social media and artificial intelligence, where fake information can be generated and spread faster than ever. Organizations such as the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) strive to uphold the value of news through fact-checking, promoting media literacy, and upholding ethical reporting practices. It is important to acknowledging the complexity of the misinformation landscape and explores multifaceted approaches. Crowdsourced fact-checking, powered by platforms such as Wikipedia, even though not yet fully accepted by academic scholars, exemplifies the strength of collective intelligence. Additionally, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms demonstrate promise in automating the identification of false information. The implementation of media literacy and education programs serves as a critical educational frontier, equipping individuals with the tools to discern reliable sources from unreliable ones. By encompassing these dimensions, this article advocates for a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to combatting misinformation. Through a concerted effort involving journalists, technology, and a discerning public, societies can forge a path towards a more informed, resilient, and truth-driven information ecosystem

MITIGATING SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTION IN INDIA
Authors: Banerjee Debashmita , Tripathi Srishti , Kumar Roshan , Murry Benrithung
Published: June 2024

The significance of STIs as a pressing public health and epidemiological issue in India. According to the World Health Organization (2016), sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are infections primarily transmitted through sexual contact. Bacteria, viruses, and parasites are just a few of the microorganisms that can cause infections. The prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in India has been experiencing a rapid increase, according to recent research. However, there have been limited studies conducted on health-seeking behavior, knowledge, attitude, and perceptions of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) at both the community and individual levels. Policymakers might view developing a general awareness program in a diverse nation like India as utopia. Therefore, in order to gain insight into the knowledge, attitudes, and sexual behavioral patterns of various socio-economic strata in India, it is crucial to understand the healthcare-seeking behavior among Indian adolescents, youth, and pregnant women. However, it is important to note that both asymptomatic STIs and menopausal women, who are often overlooked, may be more inclined to disregard precautionary measures. Nevertheless, it is crucial to remember that sexually transmitted infections and diseases do not discriminate.The best way to address this epidemic burden is to use an anthropological lens and find community-specific sexual behaviors for implementing region specific policy to mitigate the STIs in India

PHYTOPLASMA
Authors: Hemanta Gogoi Dr. Shankar , Manoranjan Singh Dr. Nakambam
Published: June 2024

Phytoplasmas is a class of bacteria that is pathogenic to a wide variety of plant species, and was first identified in 1967. It is characterized by its small genome size, ranging from 0.3 to 1.2 micrometers, and polymorphic polymorphism. It is important for agriculture to identify the factors that contribute to its pathogenicity, as well as to identify effective measures for the control of its diseases. Despite its economic importance, Phytoplasm remains the least characterized plant pathogen, largely due to the lack of in vitro cultivation, gene transfer, or mutagenesis. It is capable of infecting the eggs of insect vectors, and has been known to cause disease in more than 1,000 plant species. As it is not possible to culture the bacterium, most of the information regarding its morphology can be derived from the analysis of serologically thin sections of infected plant sieve tubes under a dark field light microscope. Phytoplasmas with well-studied host plant ranges show a wide range of host species, with some infecting multiple crops or non-crop species.

India's economy is heavily dependent on its livestock industry. It improves the financial situation of rural impoverished people. It is a key agricultural source that boosts household income in rural regions and benefits the economy by generating jobs. Goats, cows, and buffaloes are raised for a number of purposes, including the production of leather, meat, and milk. Helminths are known for infecting humans, goats, cows, and buffaloes. The country's economy is impacted by these illnesses since they result in serious livestock ailments. kinds of synthetic drugs like albendazole, mebendazole, etc. are easily available in the local market, widely used for helminth control. However, long-term use of these synthetic medications reveals significant toxicity and adverse clinical side effects to both target and non-target species, including loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, headaches, stomach discomfort, diarrhoea, and hepatotoxicity. It is therefore imperative to find anthelmintic medications that are more effective, less toxic, and have few to no adverse effects. The current review effort compiles research on medicinal plants' effectiveness against various cattle helminths conducted in vitro and in vivo. The development of efficient anthelmintic drugs with minimal side effects and non-resistance to parasitic helminths is expected to be possible using these plant-based herbal remedies. Recently, various types of plant synthesized-metal nanoparticles have proved highly effective in controlling helminth diseases, they have been examined in broad range of research field because they are safe, cost-effective, and easily available having simple biosynthesis process. This review paper also emphasizes the therapeutic applications of diverse biologically produced metal nanoparticles, which presents a new avenue with pharmacological support for the successful treatment of numerous helminth illnesses.

QUEER, OLD, AND PROUD: PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING OF LGB INDIVIDUALS IN LATE ADULTHOOD
Authors: Rasquinha Dr. Deepa M , Menon Anjali Manikkiri , Mulpuru Roopali
Published: June 2024

Psychological well-being (PWB) can be defined as a combination of an individual’s life satisfaction, psychological health and sense of accomplishment. In the later stages of life, psychological well-being is essential to maintain complete mental health. This becomes especially important for marginalized communities who experience several stressors throughout their life. Older LGB individuals fall under two heavily stigmatized populations- the elderly and the LGB. Though, society has slowly progressed to accept the LGB community in the past decade, Lesbians, Gays, and Bisexuals in their late adulthood remain invisible. They share common challenges with the aging heterosexual community; however, it is essential to recognize their unique needs to foster their psychological well-being. They face several unique risk factors such as ageism, discrimination, homophobia, stereotypes, social isolation, homelessness, and problems in healthcare and housing that deter their psychological well-being. However, the elderly LGB community shows high levels of resilience which aid in building their psychological well-being. An emerging area of research has also focused on the differences in psychological well-being of this population in different cultures. While there has been an increase in the amount of scientific research involving LGB individuals in late adulthood, there is great scope for future exploration to successfully promote and foster their well-being as respected members of society.

In this day and age, we no longer travel in navy or wait for pigeons to get the news.Over time, people use different methods to obtain and exchange information. Media coverage in general and investigative reporting by affiliated and independent journalists in particular, as well as nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), is one of the most important sources of public awareness about corruption. For each newly exposed area of fire, for the most part, we get firsthand knowledge from one of the mainstream media outlets. On the other hand, the media can undermine investigative resources, mislead the public and obstruct investigations and legal proceedings. Communication between the mass media and the judicial system has had a significant impact on the entire judicial system. These mass media reports lead to clues that form the starting point for any investigation. Mass media are now doing everything from providing informational news and important things to the audience. Mass media play an important role in informing the audience of what is happening in society every day. This is the channel through which communication travels from one path to another.

Rabindranath Tagore, the Nobel laureate in literature, is one of the greatest poets, philosophers, humanitarians, social workers, freedom fighters, and prominent promoters of international understanding, not only in the context of West Bengal but also in India. He produced a large number of poetries, books, and novels that were written in different contexts and at various times. The long-standing prejudice between men and women is the cause of the society's backwardness. At that time too, one of the biggest predicaments was gender discrimination. 'SatidahoProtha', 'Balyo Bibaho', 'BohuBibaho', etc., as well as the class system were extremely cruel and vicious social systems, which stirred Tagore's imagination. He has therefore made an effort to combat gender discrimination through his writing and other endeavours. The fact that gender equality is now seen as one of the objectives of sustainable development is due to the persistence of gender discrimination. This qualitative study attempts to highlight the theoretical and practical work of Rabindranath Tagore in eradicating gender discrimination. This study is delimited to various short stories and poems by Rabindranath Tagore to analyse the theoretical aspect and the activities of Visva-Bharati to analyse the practical aspect.
