Growth of Sari Business and Its Socio Economic Impact on Handloom Weavers in Varanasi
Authors: - Atharva Agarwal , - Jasminder Kaur , - Shri Gaurav Kesarwani
Published: October 2024

Abstract: Banaras, the oldest inhabited city in the world, is well known for its Banarasi saris. Its silk is one of the purest and radiant, whose softness and rich brocade have given rise to the sari industry. The Indian textile industry has an integral presence in the economic life of the country. Saris are made in either handloom or powerloom, with the latter gaining more significance nowadays. With increasing competition in the textile industry, power-loom alternatives have hit the market since they tend to be cheaper and target mass markets at lower prices. 1 But times have changed, and now weavers don't want to pass their art on to their kids or to the next generation. Due to the low income and unfavourable working conditions, weavers are no longer willing to work in this industry. The paper will focus on the socioeconomic situation of the weavers and how the revolutionising of the sari business has impacted the employment of the weavers. It discusses changes in the weavers' standard of living, access to education, and healthcare, along with their awareness about government schemes. It will also explore the reasons for the shift from handloom to powerloom and the problems leading to the weaver’s current situation. The data for the study has been collected through government websites, in-depth interviews, focused group discussions, and detailed surveys.
Narrativizing the "Other": Joseph Conrad’s Art of Story-telling in Almayer’s Folly
Authors: - Saila Ahmed , - Md. Sakhawat Hossain
Published: October 2024

This paper proposes to focus on Joseph Conrad’s narrative style in his first novel Almayer’s Folly, which has been so far neglected by most mainstream critics. Conrad’s narratives employ different narrative techniques in different texts that complicate the attempt to generalize about his narrative method or style. Still some distinctive features are common in his narratives. Critics so far agree to his modernist style that links the narrators with the characters as well to explore the deep psychology of both. When most of them find Conrad’s narrators as unreliable and reflexive especially in his Lord Jim, Heart of Darkness and some other Western fictions, this essay investigates the author’s style in his debut novel, and drawing on Edward Said’s idea of “secular criticism”, finds a “secular style” of telling the story, by which Conrad achieves a kind of narrative detachment from the text and lends his narrators a transnational identity. By hiding the authorial identity and narrator’s location and racial or national perspectives, Conrad gains the confidence of his readers across the globe. That is why in the Malay trilogy, he makes his narrators nationless, and hence makes them appear as limited omniscient narrators who satirize the dominant cultural, racial, religious and political ideologies, especially the Western Imperialist hegemony. This is what makes Conrad both a writer of the East and the West. This paper critically evaluates this secular style of fiction writing in Almayer’s Folly.

Ascendancy of Folk Tales on Children’s Cognitive Skills: a Behavioral Perspective
Authors: - S.Sarala
Published: October 2024

India is a nation rich in cultural diversity. Every culture has a unique way of knowing things. All of India's major languages have seen a significant increase in interest in the gathering, preservation, analysis, and study of folk literature since the country's independence. Every civilization's language and culture are fundamentally shaped by its folk literature. Folk literature, sometimes referred to as oral tradition or folklore, is the customary knowledge and beliefs of non-written societies. This essay demonstrates how folktales affect children's cognitive development. It also looks at the alterations in behaviour that take place. Fairy tales not only aid in a child's growth but also offer a multitude of therapeutic uses. This gives a fantastic way to get into children's imaginations through the investigation of fairy tale recollections and the nonthreatening, entertaining application of these too painful or frightening events. For instance, the struggle between good and evil is a recurring theme in fairy tales all throughout the world.
Authority and Scientific Paradigms
Authors: - Plamen Nikolov
Published: October 2024

The state of European science at the end of the sixteenth century resembles a kind of epistemological chaos in which there are no clear landmarks and boundaries of the world. Not surprisingly, as some order took shape within it, the revival of science began. It should not be forgotten, moreover, that the word "order" itself is etymologized as cosmos, and the discipline that studies it is cosmology. That is why the first fundamental works on astronomy – Copernicus's “On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres” and Galileo's “Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems: Ptolemaic and Copernican” – bear such pretentious titles, because they aim to put the whole "world system" in order.
The concepts of scientific determination and the objects of cognition must be present in the problem field of the cognitive process, and the problems of knowledge translation and communicability between the subjects of cognition, as well as the extremely complicated interdependencies between the agency of the scientist and his cultural-historical context, should directly and unconcernedly raise the question of defining the range of epistemic values in which the value of truth a priori could not be put in contradiction to the value of one’s outer for the phenomenon heuristic potential or to the consistency of the relevant scientific noosphere.

Reasons for Potential Unreliability of DNA Evidence: A Critical Examination
Authors: - Md. Imran Wahab, IPS
Published: October 2024

DNA evidence is widely regarded as the "gold standard" in forensic science because of its capacity to accurately identify individuals and exonerate the innocent. However, several factors cast doubt on its reliability in criminal investigations. This study offers a comprehensive exploration of critical issues influencing the trustworthiness of DNA evidence, including errors in evidence collection, overlooking additional DNA samples at the crime scene, the absence of credible witnesses during searches, and the lack of video documentation throughout the processes of seizure, transportation, and lab analysis. Other concerns include human errors, inconsistent DNA analysis protocols among forensic laboratories, and potential contamination during sample collection. Furthermore, the research delves into laboratory errors, subjective interpretations, and existing biases. There is an increasing worry regarding the excessive reliance on DNA evidence without sufficient investigative corroboration, along with the potential misinterpretation of statistical probabilities by jurors. The article also examines ethical issues surrounding the expansion of DNA databases, privacy violations, and familial DNA searches. Citing pivotal academic studies and landmark legal cases like those of O.J. Simpson and Amanda Knox, this analysis highlights the pressing need for rigorous standards to govern the ethical use of DNA evidence in the criminal justice system.

Authors: - Margarita G. Hilario , - Ninfa S. Asia , - Divina M. Cayabyab , - Orlino J. Mandac , - Quincy S. Savellano
Published: October 2024

This study investigates stakeholders’ engagement in tourism development initiatives involving four key stakeholder groups: private-sector businesses (26), non-governmental organizations/POs (31), educational institutions (53), and community residents and leaders (56). The assessment of stakeholder engagement was based on the roles outlined by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO, 2017), which provide a framework for evaluating the contributions of various stakeholders in the tourism sector.
A checklist questionnaire was administered to 166 respondents across four municipalities and two cities in Ilocos Norte: Paoay, Pagudpud, Bangui, Burgos, Laoag City, and Batac City—identified as the most visited areas from 2010 to 2017.
The findings reveal that stakeholders demonstrate a strong commitment to their assigned roles, which is evident in their active participation in tourism planning, resource management, and collaborative initiatives. This commitment indicates a viable pathway toward sustainable tourism development, as stakeholders are willing to invest time and resources in practices that promote environmental sustainability, cultural preservation, and economic growth.
However, the study also highlights that community residents’ engagement remains moderate. While there is a general willingness among community members to participate in tourism initiatives, barriers such as limited involvement in planning and decision processes, communicating local community interest, among others impede their full involvement. This moderate engagement suggests that although stakeholders recognize the importance of community participation, there is a significant gap in actively involving residents in tourism development discussions and activities.
To address this gap, there is a need to enhance community participation through capacity-building to equip community leaders with the necessary skills to enhance engagement in tourism planning. By fostering a more inclusive approach to tourism development, stakeholders can ensure that community residents feel valued and empowered, ultimately leading to more equitable and sustainable outcomes for all parties involved.

Transforming Prussian Blue Analogues: The Future-Centric Pathway to Rise of Thin Layered Double Hydroxides for Superior Water Oxidation: An Overview
Authors: - MANOJ KUMAR , - RAGHVENDRA PRATAP SINGH
Published: October 2024

Prussian blue analogues (PBAs)[1–5] have exhibited great performance towards electrochemical water oxidation because of their high activity and stability. However, there were some challenges because of their limited surface area and less accessible active sites. Herein this work, we have explored the synthesis of a Prussian blue analogue-based thin layered double hydroxide (PBA-TLDH)[6–9] through a reconstruction method. The (PBA-TLDH) possessed high surface area and a large number of active sites for enhanced electrochemical water oxidation. These PBA-LDH materials were well characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and electrochemical techniques[1,7,10–12]. The PBA-TLDH materials had a well-defined thin layered structure with the PBAs uniformly distributed in the interlayer spaces of the LDHs. The PBA-LDH catalyst showed enhanced electrocatalytic activity towards water oxidation, with a very low overpotentials up to 240 mV and current density of 10 mA cm-2,[9,13–16] have been achieved which is significantly lower than that of the pristine PBAs. Moreover, these thin layered double hydroxides material showed excellent stability over large electrochemical cycle. This work provides a new strategy for the design and synthesis of highly active and stable electrocatalysts for water oxidation.

Published: October 2024

Abstract: This paper aims to present a theoretical model based on a synthesis of ancient knowledge and contemporary research, as well as to argue for the integration of yoga with education in the present educational system. Resilience and overall well-being have become increasingly important in today's hectic and demanding environment. This abstract explores the value of yoga instruction as a transforming tool for dealing with the various issues people encounter nowadays. Yoga is an age-old Indian discipline that combines physical postures called asanas, breathing exercises called pranayama, meditation, and moral teachings to bring the mind, body, and spirit into balance. Regular yoga practice provides many physical, mental, and emotional benefits that have been confirmed by scientific studies. With the current state of affairs marked by high levels of stress, sedentary lifestyles, and rising mental health problems, it is essential to integrate yoga instruction into regular classroom instruction. This abstract explores how yoga's focus on self-awareness, stress reduction, and mindfulness corresponds with the modern world's need for coping strategies against life's stresses. The abstract also looks at how yoga instruction might help people develop resilience, emotional intelligence, and a positive outlook. The practice is a flexible strategy for improving general well-being because it may be applied to different age groups and fitness levels. A proactive approach to addressing the growing health concerns and fostering a culture of self-care is the incorporation of yoga into educational curricula, businesses, and healthcare systems. Additionally, by highlighting the preventative qualities of yoga in healthcare, the abstract underlines the social and economic advantages connected to a population that is healthier and more robust. The way this work compares and contrasts the results-driven current research with the process-driven old knowledge makes it special. This makes it possible to develop a more thorough theoretical model of yoga in education in the present scenario.

Inter-Role Conflict and Mental Health in Early Adulthood Females
Authors: - Ankita Singh , - Mahendra Kumar , - Sushmita Mazumdar
Published: October 2024

Inter-role conflict is one of the most common and challenging realities. It occurs when an individual faces dual demands from different roles, and the situation is likely to cause a lot of psychological strains. This kind of conflict was most prevalent among females in the early adulthood age of development, a period that involves a turning point to other important developmental tasks in life such as procurement of employment, further educational pursuits, and formation of settlement or marriage. Work and family responsibilities become intertwined during this phase, as the drive for career advancement merges with other obligations, potentially impacting one's health. The effects of inter-role conflict on mental health can be significant, impacting such outcomes as anxiety, depression, and stress. Anxiety might manifest itself through constant apprehension or a low probability of performing well in one or more positions. At the same time, depression can cause a lack of self-worth and a negative outlook on life. Such mental health issues can lead to maladjustment in behavior, which means that one can become less productive at work as well as seclusion in their relationships. Inter-role conflict, if persistent, causes chronic stress, which worsens these concerns and may lead to irreversible mental health problems. This review also explores the impact of inter-role conflict on mental health outcomes and explores potential strategies to mitigate these effects. Some realistic approaches to reducing the psychological load include time management, role prioritization, and seeking social support. This literature review emphasizes the importance of psychological strategies from existing literature to help young women manage their roles more effectively. Therefore, by integrating literature from the existing research, this study illuminates how inter-role conflict affects early adulthood females’ mental health with a focus on coping strategies.

FTIR Spectroscopic Characterization And Identification Of Microplastics In Water Samples From Ashtamudi Lake, Kollam, Kerala FTIR Spectroscopic Characterization And Identification Of Microplastics In Water Samples From Ashtamudi Lake, Kollam, Kerala
Authors: - R V Meeradevi
Published: October 2024

Microplastics (MPs), defined as plastic particles under 5 mm, have garnered significant attention over the past 45 years, particularly in marine environments (Bergmann et al., 2015; Carpenter et al., 1972). Recently, research has expanded to freshwater systems, revealing their pervasive nature across aquatic, terrestrial, and atmospheric environments (Dris et al., 2015; Wagner and Lambert, 2018).MPs enter ecosystems either as primary MPs or as secondary MPs from the degradation of larger plastics. Major sources include plastic waste from households and industries, which can enter waterways directly or indirectly. This accumulation leads to detrimental effects on aquatic life (Merlin Issac & Kandasubramanian, 2021). Notably, fluvial systems are crucial pathways for transporting MPs from terrestrial sources to oceans, with studies indicating that rivers in Asia, particularly the Ganges, contribute significantly to ocean plastic pollution (Lebreton et al., 2017; Napper et al., 2021).
Research indicates a wide range of MP concentrations in European rivers, from 0.03 to 187,000 particles per cubic meter, with diverse forms such as fibers, fragments, and spheres being identified (Heß et al., 2018; Leslie et al., 2017). In India, inadequate waste management and high population density contribute to elevated MP levels in freshwater systems, with the Ganges potentially releasing billions of MPs daily into the Indian Ocean (Napper et al., 2021).MPs pose risks not only to aquatic organisms through ingestion but also raise concerns about human health via the food web (Arthur et al., 2008; Andrady, 2011). Their physical characteristics can influence their behavior in aquatic environments, with studies exploring the analogy of plastic as sediment, indicating that MPs may behave similarly to natural sediment particles (Enders et al., 2019; Kane and Clare, 2019).Despite growing awareness, research on MPs in freshwater environments remains limited compared to marine studies. Understanding the fate of MPs, alongside their ecological impacts, is critical for effective management and mitigation strategies to combat plastic pollution in all ecosystems.

Ibn Jinni's Reading of the Book of Characteristics Offers Insights into Language and Signs
Authors: - Dr. Salma Saleh Mohammed Al-Amami
Published: October 2024

The sign is a distinctive concept in linguistic thought, serving as the foundation for research into the origin of language and the acquisition of its significance. Almost no philosophical theory, whether ancient or modern, makes any mention of it. Indeed, modern linguistics has become inextricably linked with the sign because of its bond with the signifier, which is the basis of language and relied upon in its study.In the fourth century, Ibn Jinni was the most prominent linguist. His linguistic thought was linked to the fundamentalists of logic and speech, as evidenced in his book Al-Khassas. In this work, he presented the origins of language and the processes by which connotations are obtained and acquired.In addition to his contributions to the field of linguistics, Ibn Jinni also presented a printed work on jurisprudence and speech, as well as undertaking linguistic investigations.This paper examines the concept of the 'mark' as it is presented in the thought of Ibn Jinni, exploring it through a number of different axes.

Published: October 2024

Visual perceptual skills are critical for performing various tasks, making them a key focus in Occupational Therapy, particularly across different diagnoses. The Motor-Free Visual Perception Test (MVPT-4) is a standardized tool used to evaluate visual perception independent of motor abilities in individuals aged 4 to 80+. Although MVPT-4 has been widely used across diverse populations, normative data for adults, especially in the Indian population, is limited. This study aims to establish normative data for healthy North Indian adults aged 50-60.
A total of 100 individuals (50 males, 50 females) were assessed using MVPT-4. Test scores were recorded, and statistical analysis was performed. Results indicated an average score of 27.2 (SD = 7.31) in females and 29.32 (SD = 7.45) in males. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of visual perceptual abilities in the Indian population and provide normative data for future research and clinical practice in the region.

Anonymity Unmasked The Role of Cryptocurrencies in Global Money Laundering
Authors: - Srushti Mantri
Published: October 2024

This research paper examines the intersection of cryptocurrencies and financial crime, particularly focusing on money laundering. It examines how these digital assets are employed in illicit financial activities, investigates the methodologies used to obscure transaction trails, evaluates regulatory responses to these risks, and presents practical case studies highlighting the real-world criminal use of cryptocurrency. The study, covering data from 2020 to 2024, combines a thorough review of existing literature with empirical analysis of blockchain transactions and case studies.
The novelty of this study is the use of blockchain analysis methods for monitoring cryptocurrency transactions in the blockchain and detecting criminal money laundering techniques. It also examines how the criminals use mixers to exponentially expand the transaction trail and hide the money flow.
Our analysis reveals that cryptocurrencies are often viewed as tools for anonymity but the underlying technology provides tracking of transactions, albeit with challenges, particularly when advanced techniques such as coin mixers, privacy coins, and decentralized exchanges are used. Case studies, including high-profile hacks, highlight the complexities of tracing illicit funds and challenges faced by law enforcement agencies. Despite efforts by global regulatory bodies, regulations on digital assets vary significantly around the world, allowing criminals to exploit jurisdictions with lax regulations for their illicit activities.
The study concludes that cryptocurrencies pose notable risks of money laundering, advancement in digital forensic tools, enhanced regulatory measures, and greater international cooperation are essential to address these risks. This research contributes to the understanding of money laundering through cryptocurrencies and underscores the need for continuous improvement of regulation and technology to ensure finance remains safe in the age of innovation.
