Authors: - Amit S Kudale , - Kanwal Jit Singh
Published: December 2023

Friction stir welding (FSW) has become the most popular welding technique for nonferrous alloys among researchers of the concerned field in the recent decade. It is a solid-state welding process and most suitable for nonferrous alloys, especially aluminium and magnesium alloys. Aluminium and magnesium alloys are the hot material for structural applications in transport vehicles, aerospace, and marine due to their lower densities and superior mechanical properties. Furthermore, FSW is associated with low temperature, which is responsible for eliminating defects of fusion welding such as porosity, liquation cracking, solidification, and cracking. This review article briefly introduces FSW and explains the different methods employed for FSW. Furthermore, process parameters, microstructural, mechanical properties, metallurgical investigations, advantages, disadvantages, applications, contemporary challenges and drawbacks, and future hotspots of FSW are identified.

Authors: - Kiran Yadav , - Asha
Published: December 2023

Identity Politics has become a prominent subject in the Indian Politics in past few years. Rise of lower castes, gender, religious identities, linguistic groups and ethnic conflicts have contributed to the significance of identity politics in India.
The tendency for individuals who share a specific racial, religious, ethnic, social, or cultural identity to create exclusive political coalitions in order to further their own interests independent of those of a broader political group is known as identity politics. The goal of identity politics is to help marginalized communities regain more political freedom and self-determination by helping them recognize what makes them unique. The charms of caste, ethnicity, religion, language, and gender propel identity politics. Identity politics has in fact transcended all bounds of the political imaginary, challenging all ingrained preconceptions as well as the significance of race, caste, class, and sexual preferences.
Social justice is the fair treatment and equitable status of all individuals and social groups within a state or society. This paper aims to bring about a general understanding of the concept of identity politics and the key identities which are playing a crucial role in Indian politics. Further this paper will also analyze the relation between identity politics and social justice and how identity politics is playing a role in curbing social injustice prevailing within the Indian society.

Authors: - Dr. Rohit Nadda
Published: December 2023

Background: WHO defined health as the state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely an absence of disease or infirmity, but it includes ability to lead socially and economically productive life.1 Being a man or women has a significant impact on health, as a result of both biological as well as gender related differences.
This study assesses the knowledge about the antenatal care among married and unmarried men of 18-35 years age in selected rural areas of Himachal Pradesh.
Methods: The study was an unmatched case and control design where married men were considered as a case and unmarried men as comparator group. This study was a part of large study for which sample size of 268 men in each group was calculated assuming prevalence of female contraceptives 70% in unmarried men and 85% in married men. This was carried out by cluster-based sampling in villages of Nagrota Bagwan and Shahpur health blocks of DRPGMC Tanda at Kangra.
Results: The 93.3% participants among case group are aware of anaemia in pregnancy while only 64.9% among control group are aware of anaemia in pregnancy. The knowledge about all three causes of anaemia was statistically more in case group (61.9%) as compared to control group (38.8%). Assessment about high-risk pregnancy, about 72.4% participants among case group were aware about the risk factors in pregnancy as compared to 43.3% in control group with statistically significant differences (P=0.000). All the causes of high-risk pregnancy were reported by the participants of case group (44.0% vs 29.9%) with statistically significant differences.

Conclusions: Married men had significantly more knowledge about various components of antenatal care. The awareness approach for unmarried men needs to be designed regarding antenatal care.
A First Indian Retrospective Study of Intraoperative Computed Tomography Use in Neurosurgery with 75 Cases - Charting New Frontiers
Authors: - Hrishikesh Sarkar
Published: December 2023

Background: Intraoperative visualization of surgical anatomy is crucial for precision and accuracy in neurosurgical interventions. Traditional navigation systems are hampered by physiological changes such as brain shift, potentially compromising surgical accuracy. This study, the first of its kind in India, investigates the application of intraoperative computed tomography (iCT) and discusses our collective experience with its use in surmounting these challenges, offering a comprehensive insight into its adoption in neurosurgical practices.
Methodology: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 75 patients (mean age 44, range 12-75; 42 males and 35 females) who underwent neurosurgical operations with an iCT during preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases. The cohort included 110 scans, 82 for brain surgeries among 50 patients, and 28 for spine surgeries among 25 patients.
Results: iCT was adaptable to both brain and spine surgeries, with intraoperative findings generally correlating with postoperative CT scans. Navigation errors were observed in 50% (n = 10/20) of brain surgery cases, with a mean deviation of 4.0-5.0 mm, and in 17% of spine surgeries(n=5). iCT played a critical role in influencing surgical decision-making in 11 cases, which may have reduced the incidence of complications. While the average surgery time increased to 220 minutes, experience led to more efficient scan times, decreasing from 45 to 20 minutes. Radiation exposure was also reduced from 1200 to 600 milligrays. The overall complication rate was low at 6%.
Conclusions: iCT may serve as an effective tool for enhancing intraoperative visualization, potentially addressing some of the current limitations associated with physiological changes in traditional neurosurgical navigation. While our findings suggest an improvement in surgical precision and a reduction in complication rates, further studies are required to more robustly evaluate the long-term impact of iCT on patient outcomes in the Indian subcontinent.

Published: December 2023

Education is the crucial mark by which the growth and development of a country can be measured and as such it has achieved an enviable position in the society. For an individual, education helps to train the mind, edge the intellect and upgrade the spirit. Advanced education has a special significance in the environment of a quasi-traditional or transitional society like India. There are two different views on the question of women’s participation in advanced education-traditional and ultramodern. The traditional view supports women’s education to equip them to become entrepreneurs. The ultramodern station visualizes education as an instrument for women’s equivalency and development. Theoretically the need for advanced education for both males and ladies is the same. But virtually it could be said that female education is more important than that of a man. In this connection is applicable a statement of a champion- Vice President and noted educationist Dr. S. Radhakrishnan. He says, “There cannot be educated people without educated women. However, the occasion should be given to women, If general education has to be limited to men or women. From them it would most surely be passed on to the coming generation. This paper shall attempt to dissect the present position of advanced education in India and women’s participation in the process as also have a look at the necessity and factors responsible for women’s participation in advanced education and make suggestions towards accelerating women’s participation in advanced education in India.
Inscription Proving Snake Worship Found in Bijapur District of the Bastar Division
Authors: - ARADHANA CHATURVEDI
Published: December 2023

In ancient times, small kingdoms of Nagas were established all over Northern India. Different branches of Nagas existed in different areas all over India. After the fall of Nala dynasty, the rule of Naga dynasty was established in Bastar region. Chhindak dynasty of Nagas was in power in Bastar. There were about 6 branches of the Chhindak clan of Nagas in India, out of which two branches were ruling in Chakrakot and Bhramarkot of today's Bastar. The same 4 branches of Chhindak clan were ruling in Bagalkot, Yelaburga, Belgutti and Bijapur of Karnataka. From around 760 A.D. to 1324 A.D., Chhindak rulers ruled Bastar for 700 years. In the 10th-11th century, the Chhindak rulers of Chakrakot established their independent kingdom. The Nagas ruled the Godavari region from about the first century to the fourth century, but there is no history of the Nagas between the fifth and seventh centuries. At the same time, there is information about the appearance of Guptas in Madhya Pradesh and Nagas in Karnataka under the name Chhindak.1 At the time when South Kosala was being ruled by the Kalchuris, at about the same time Bastar was under the rule of the Chhindak Naga kings. This Nagvanshi ruler held the title of “Bhogwati Purveshwar.”2 He was known as the Nagvanshi king of Chakrakot. In the Narayanapal inscription3, Dharavarsha has been given the title of “Maharaj Parambhattarak – Parmeshwar”. A Telugu inscription has been found from here, in which the names of Someshwara Dev and his queen are found. Who was probably a snake ruler. Two branches of the Naga rulers of Bastar are known, in which the symbol of the first branch was “Shavak Samyukta Vyaghra” and that of the second branch was “Kamal-Kadali.”4 On the basis of these symbols, it can probably be said that the first branch The rulers were Shaivites and the rulers of the other branch followed Vaishnav religion. Naga ruler Someshwar Dev had patronized Jainism, many statues of Jain Tirthankaras of his reign are found in every corner of Bastar.

Published: December 2023

The families of prisoners confront various social competencies and challenges resulting from the incarceration of their loved ones. This abstract provides an overview of prisoners' families' social dynamics and issues. It highlights the stigma and isolation experienced by families, often leading to a sense of exclusion from their communities. Financial difficulties arise due to the loss of income and increased expenses associated with supporting incarcerated individuals. Emotional distress, including shame, guilt, and anxiety, is prevalent among family members. Parenting challenges emerge as remaining caregivers struggle to maintain stability and nurture children while coping with the absence of an incarcerated parent. Disrupted family dynamics and strained relationships can result from lacking a family member. Limited support systems and difficulties in accessing resources further exacerbate the challenges faced by these families. Communication barriers hinder regular contact with incarcerated loved ones, impeding emotional support. Reintegration challenges arise when the incarcerated individual is released, necessitating adjustments and support for their return to society. Addressing these social competencies and problems necessitates a comprehensive approach that includes community support, resource availability, and policies promoting the well-being of incarcerated individuals and their families. Programs providing financial aid, emotional support, parenting education, and reintegration opportunities can significantly benefit prisoners' families and contribute to successful rehabilitation outcomes for incarcerated individuals. This abstract serves as a basis for further research and policy development in understanding and assisting prisoners' families in their unique social circumstances.

Authors: - Dr.Dharti Tiwari , - Nainika Mukherjee
Published: December 2023

Today, dance and movement have also become fundamental elements of artistic performances - be it solo presentations, duet performances or even group performances; thus leading to the formation of different dance forms and styles with certain rules and regulations. Several research papers, over a span of many years, suggest that dance and movement have potential healing effects. Therapeutic movement has recently been known to manage stress, anxiety,
symptoms of depression, and other mental health disorders. However, an interest in the systematic evaluation of the psychotherapeutic impact of dance and movement based modalities in different population settings in the context of psychotherapy is relatively recent. (C. Quiroga Murcia et al., 2010).Dancing and movement have become an integral part of our lives. For many, it is a medium to
express their emotions; for some people, it is now a source of income and livelihood. Over time, dance and movement have evolved from tools and driving force that built societal relationships, to performance art-forms with choreographic roles on-stage and off-stage, to a formally recognised mode of therapy practice - known as Dance / Movement Therapy - an arts-based
psychotherapeutic intervention that aims to facilitate the integration of the physical and psychological aspects of human beings.

Kepatuhan wajib pajak membayar pajak dapat dipengaruhi oleh faktor sosialisasi pajak dan pengetahuan pajak yang dilakukan kepada wajib pajak. Hal ini berdampak posittif terhadap kepatuhan wajib pajak. Beberapa variabel lain dalam penelitian ini seperti E-filling justru tidak berpengaruh terhadap kepatuhan wajib pajak membayar pajak.

Surface tension measurements and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were used to explore the flotation foam properties and self-aggregation behaviors of dodecylamine (DDA)/octanol (OCT) mixtures formed with different mole ratios at the air/liquid interface. Based on the surface and thermodynamic parameters, the DDA/OCT mixtures exhibited greater interfacial activities and adsorption capacities than their individual components. The MD simulations showed that DDA and OCT were aggregated through hydrogen bonding, coulombic forces and hydrophobic association. OCT was inserted into the DDA adsorption layer, causing the alkyl chains of both DDA and OCT to extend from water to air at varying heights and angles. The addition of OCT improved the hydration of the amino groups and reduced the overall number of hydrogen bonds. The stability of the flotation foam decreased, and the high viscosity and difficult defoaming of the DDA flotation foam were significantly improved. When the DDA/OCT mole ratio was 2:1, the included angle formed between the alkyl chains and the interface was maximized, leading to enhanced compatibility among the alkyl chains, and the hydrogen bond energy was relatively large, which showed a strong synergistic effect. The MD simulation findings were consistent with the results obtained from the lepidolite flotation and surface tension experiments conducted in this study; our results could provide a theoretical foundation for the selection of superior mixed collectors and frothers.
Utilization of polymeric binders to agglomerate oxidized copper ore

Permeability reduction is a major challenge in heap leaching, primarily caused by the accumulation of fines that move with the leaching agent, leading to the formation of dead zones and channeling within the heap. In the Aria copper beneficiation plant, the 0–2 mm fraction with a copper grade of 1.4% undergoes pre-separation prior to heap loading without further processing. This study investigated the potential of using the agglomeration method to improve permeability in the case of using the 0–2 mm fraction of ore. Mineral compounds, such as sodium silicate and calcium sulfate, and non-ionic, cationic, and anionic polymer compounds, were used in the agglomeration process. The strength of interparticle bonding was evaluated by measuring the fine migration percentage (FMP) in the soak test. The results revealed that agglomerates produced using non-ionic compounds had the highest bonding strength, with an FMP of 3.89%, the lowest of all the compounds tested. This enhanced bonding strength was attributed to the combined influence of hydrogen bonding forces and van der Waals forces.
The Cultural Role of Civil Societies and the National Parliament in the Domestic Enforcement of International Laws on Corruption in Tanzania

Published: December 2023

Social structures composed of active and responsible actors can be essential in curbing corruption. However, studies focusing on culture and corruption, especially in Africa, are scant. This article has focused on the role of culture in influencing anti-corruption efforts and enforcing international law on corruption in Tanzania. Using ethnography, the paper responds to two questions: What is the cultural role of civil societies and the media in influencing the domestic enforcement of international law? Furthermore, what is the cultural role of the Tanzanian legislature in influencing the domestic enforcement of international law? A cultural study can only be conducted after some time. It calls for a longitudinal study that considers a local context. In this regard, a case study research design has been used. The technique can explore issues over a long period and examine context-specific issues. Overall, the study's findings highlight the development of a unique culture among civil societies, which prompts the Parliament to create and formalize anti-corruption measures. The paper adds to international law, corruption, and culture scholarship
The Impact of "Collaborative Team” Working System as an Effort of Creative Design in TSDSIA
Authors: Nava Lidya , Valencia Phebe
Published: December 2023

TSDSIA is a design firm engaged in interior and architecture since 2011. TSDSIA provides consulting services in Indonesia led by Tony Sofian (from now on, referred to as TS). TSDSIA uses a "collaborative team" working system to perform the creativity process. This collaboration work system represents a work method that is incapable of being avoided and is not used more at this point. Collaboration is a strategy that can leverage individual and collective knowledge to achieve results that may never have been imagined before[A2]. Collaboration also creates more interesting, challenging, and enjoyable working conditions in achieving the results of design creativity. Although in the process, it takes a lot of investment from time and resources (financial and human), if used appropriately, the collaboration will be a profitable investment. The research method in this paper uses a qualitative approach by using an ethnographic research approach through direct field observation and interview methods. The authors' used instrument case study methods and data processing techniques (data reduction, data presentation, conclusion withdrawal) to analyses the data. The purpose of this discussion is to find out the relationship between the four components of creativity in post- pandemic TSDSIA and their effect on employee design creativity to produce a quality design in terms of aesthetic, functional and best architectural and the interior experience in each project being worked on more post-pandemic. Ultimately, this study sees the influence of the "collaborative team" work system as an effort of design creativity in TSDSIA.
