RENAISSANCE OF INDIGENOUS CULTURE IN MODERN INDIAN CINEMA
Authors: Gurumath Someshwar
Published: June 2024

Indigenous culture refers to the unique customs, traditions, beliefs, languages, and practices of the native peoples or ethnic groups that have inhabited a particular region for generations. These cultures are often closely tied to specific lands, and they have developed and evolved over time through a deep connection with nature, spirituality, and their ancestors. What if such a culture got representation through a powerful audio-visual medium? It can create wonders. Cinema, a simple word, is capable of containing all kinds of talent, feelings, drama, music, and technological aspects, creating the best possible visual form of narrative. The world of film today has developed a strong connection with people's emotional, mental, and physical selves. Everything that is displayed on a screen is much more valuable than other forms. We may see examples of several instances that have led to periods of celebrity worship where someone begins to imitate the star's every move. We can see that fans have built shrines for their favorite celebrities in several areas of India. On the other hand, they set up camps for blood donation, free tuition, camps for eye donation, or perform some charitable acts on significant occasions like their birthday or wedding anniversary. We can infer that films are having an effect on people's lives somewhere through these deeds and other cultural norms. According to Jean-Luc Godard's adage, "Photography is truth." Cinema is truth twenty-four times a second, which implies that it is more than just a format for narrating stories; it is also an effective medium that, in many instances, establishes a shared forum for both encoders and decoders, reflecting the idea that seeing is an act of believing. This Chapter deals with the importance of the renaissance of Indigenous culture in Modern Indian Cinema

METHICILLIN RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS (MRSA)
Authors: Kanna Dr. B Vignesh , Anto Mr. P V , Nayaki Dr. S Vidyaa , Jayakumar Dr. Karthika
Published: June 2024

The gram-positive cocci, Staphylococcus aureus are found in abundance in nature and are grouped in clusters. The preferred medication was penicillin, but Staphylococcus aureus acquired a resistance to it by producing the beta lactamase enzyme. Methicillin was therefore made available in 1959. However, methicillin resistance quickly developed, and instances of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) were documented in 1961. Because of its aggressiveness and widespread dispersion in the community and clinical settings, Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains pose a hazard on a global scale. Beta lactam antibiotics, as well as fluoroquinolones, chloramphenicol, clindamycin, tetracycline, and aminoglycosides, are frequently ineffective against MRSA strains. Additionally, recently created anti-staphylococcal medications like Oxazolidione and Streptogramin6 exhibit resistance. Because MRSA is resistant to antibiotics, it is becoming a concern to the population.

SESAMUM PHYLLODY DISEASE
Authors: Phookan Dr. Jutimala , Hemanta Gogoi Dr. Shankar , Kalita Dr. Manoj Kumar , Manoranjan Singh Dr. Nakambam
Published: June 2024

Sesamum phyllody is a very important disease of sesamum caused by phytoplasma which affects mostly the floral organs of 0the plant. The floral organs are modified into leaf like structures and hence the yield is directly affected by this disease. Sesamum phyllody is a systemic disease and is transmitted by leafhoppers, Orosius albicinctus (Dist.) and Hishimonus phycitis (Dist.). This disease has been reported from 52 districts of North Eastern States during 2015 to 2017 and the disease incidence varied from 2 to 29 per cent in different locations. Epidemiological data in Assam shows that the incidence of sesamum phyllody disease was higher during the kharif season (22.16 %) as compared to the summer season (17.60 %) and is highly correlated to the vector population. It was also observed that maximum and minimum temperatures along with relative humidity were directly correlated with the disease incidence of sesamum phyllody. The reduction in pod per plant in the diseased plant over healthy plant was observed to be 72.82- 100 %. As this disease affects the yield of sesamum, not only the quantity of yield is affected but also the quality of sesamum oil also gets deteriorated to a great extent as the saponification value decreases and free fatty acid and iodine value in oil increases. A total of 38 alternate hosts were detected in Assam which belonged to three different groups of phytoplasma viz., aster yellows (16SrI), clover proliferation (16SrVI) and stolbur phytoplasma (16SrXII). On the other hand, molecular characterization and RFLP analysis revealed that there is no genetic difference between the isolates of sesamum phyllody disease collected from all the six agro-climatic zones of Assam as they belonged to 16SrI-B group.

Authors: Saha Rupa , Gope Arpita , Rawani Dr. Anjali
Published: June 2024

A dangerous protozoan parasite disease called malaria, which is spread by female Anopheles mosquitoes in tropical areas, is brought on by a species of Plasmodium. Of the entire world population, an estimated 3.3 billion people reside in regions where malaria is common and kills 660,000 people annually. Natural substances made from plants have been crucial in the fight against malaria. Synthetic medications are risky and have a wide range of negative effects. Different ailments have been treated with medicinal herbs. Chemicals that come from plants have some positive effects on the body. The bark of the South American native Chinchona tree contains the first anti-malarial medication, quinine. The pure medication Artemisinin, which is isolated from the Artemisia annua plant and is effective against all malarial parasites, was also found in China. In different countries different plant parts extract derived herbal remedies used in control of malaria which are affordable, safer and effective than any chemical compound. In this review I discussed region wise plants used for anti plasmodial activity.

EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACH IN ANATOMYAND ITS APPLICATIONS
Authors: Nagolu Sandhya , Prathap Dr. Lavanya , Jeyakumar Dr. S , Suganthirababu Dr. Prathap
Published: June 2024

Anatomy is not regarded as a field that is driven by research; rather, it is a basic medical science that describes things. One prominent category of clinical anatomy literature is prevalence studies, which look at clinically relevant anatomical differences and record their frequencies and/or connections with things like age, sex, side, laterality, and ancestry. The need to comprehend existing literature is discussed in this article. A unique concept termed evidence-based anatomy (EBA) is suggested to identify, assess, and synthesize the findings detailed in these studies. It entails using methods for evidence synthesis, such as meta analysis and systematic reviews, to offer weighted pooled data in the study of epidemiological anatomy. Large pooled sample sizes are more likely to yield pooled frequencies and associations that closely resemble real population statistics and are more reliable. Examined include the importance of EBA for current practice and prospective research, as well as its reach. It's also advised to use a checklist for a typical anatomical systematic review. The EBA technique would help maintain anatomy's status as a core basic science, ensure that anatomical variances are accurately understood, and ensure the safety of medical practice.

STRAWSON’S CONCEPT OF PERSON: A SIGNIFICANCE OF EGO IN STRAWSON’S PERSON AND NAESS REFLECTION OF EGOCENTRIC TO ECO-CENTRIC ATTITUDE
Authors: Barman Dr. Mayuri
Published: June 2024

Person is a being with all its attributes as reason, morality, consciousness and being a part of establishing social relations. Traditionally it is said a person is an ‘autonomous being’. Rousseau and Kant hold that there is a normative aspect to personhood. To have an autonomous character in a person is not actually acceptable. Regarding the nature of ‘personhood’ many philosophical questions comes to our mind. In fact the English word ‘Person’ has been derived from the Latin word person’ which means--“The mask worn by actors in dramatic performances. It generally stands for a living conscious human being”. Peter Strawson concept of ‘person’ in his book ‘Individual’ has tried to throw light on the problems of ‘personal Identity’. He defined person as a ‘primitive concept’ as it is unanalyzable. The concept of person in Strawson’s view is “ a type of entity such that both predicates ascribing states of consciousness and predicates ascribing corporeal characters are applicable to a single individual. Thus, Strawson belief that both M-predicates and P-predicates can be applied to persons. According to Strawson there is a theory which tries to account for personal identity which may be called “no- ownership theory”. Strawson’s person is not an embodied ego, but an ego might be a disembodied person, retaining the logical benefit individuality from having been a person. Let us see the concept of ‘ego’ and ‘eco’. When the ‘ego’ and ‘eco’ are balanced, then we can find the true meaning of ‘spirituality’. If we see ourselves as a part of the tree of life or as threads in the tapestry of life, then the lifesaving spirituality is seen to respond to our environmental problems of the world. If too much emphasis is given on the self, the ego, an imbalance occurs which is later collectively spread to the entire culture that is not sustainable in the long term. To change the outlook one has to combine natural value with human values so that, we can better our lives by choosing a higher moral standard towards our environment. ‘I’ should be removed from ‘ego’ and transform to eco’ which leads to the great Maxim “Live and Let Live”.

Authors: Mishra Dr. Maheshwar , Ganguly Shanoly
Published: June 2024

This paper scrutinizes the key concepts of knowledge and education in the context of the classical masters of antiquity- Socrates. Plato and Aristotle. It commences with underscoring the significant role played by Sophists, in developing knowledge and enriching the history of Greece, and then focuses on the dialectic method developed by Socrates to discover truth. Further elaboration is made on Socrates's proposition about two kinds of knowledge and virtue; the dissemination of his fundamental ideas and doctrines by his disciple, Plato, who borrowed the Socratic dialectic method and dictum of knowledge (i.e. virtue is knowledge). The Platonic contributions in the field of imparting knowledge- use of analogy, the theory of knowledge and education being allied concepts, role of state as an educational institution in enhancing knowledge. two aspects of education, theory of functional specialization- are next illustrated. Penultimately the paper foregrounds the Aristotelian tenets and approaches like his use of the inductive method, high regard for history and tradition, classification of sciences into three groups, and notions of knowledge and education. I conclude my paper with an analysis of the two greatest Greek philosophers (Plato and Aristotle), their distinguished traits and the precise areas of their correspondence and difference.

EFFECT OF GLOBAL WARMING ON AQUATIC ENVIRONMENT
Authors: Sanwal Neha , Chandra Deepshikha , Khati Dr. Akansha
Published: June 2024

Global warming, driven by anthropogenic activities, has become a critical environmental concern with profound implications for aquatic ecosystems. This review examines the multifaceted effects of rising temperatures and associated climate changes on aquatic environments, encompassing oceans, freshwater bodies, and estuarine ecosystems. In oceans, the thermal expansion of seawater and the accelerated melting of polar ice caps contribute to rising sea levels, posing a threat to coastal habitats and biodiversity. The alteration of oceanic currents and temperature gradients affects marine life distribution and migratory patterns, disrupting ecosystems and fisheries. Freshwater environments face escalating challenges due to global warming. Changes in precipitation patterns lead to altered hydrological cycles, affecting river flow and water availability. Elevated temperatures impact aquatic biodiversity, with implications for fish migration, breeding, and survival. Additionally, the increased frequency of extreme weather events exacerbates the risk of floods and droughts, further stressing freshwater ecosystems. Estuarine ecosystems, acting as transition zones between freshwater and marine environments, experience unique challenges. Rising sea levels and changing salinity gradients impact estuarine habitats, affecting the abundance and distribution of estuarine-dependent species. The increased frequency of extreme weather events amplifies the risks of storm surges, causing physical damage to estuarine ecosystems and exacerbating water quality issues. Furthermore, the review explores the interplay of global warming with other stressors such as ocean acidification, pollution, and habitat destruction, creating complex and synergistic effects on aquatic ecosystems. The overarching consequences include biodiversity loss, altered ecosystem services, and compromised resilience in the face of environmental stressors.
CURRENT TRENDS IN MENTAL HEALTH CARE: COMMODIFICATION, DIGITALIZATION AND ETHICS
Authors: Gond Shagun , Rasquinha Dr. Deepa M
Published: June 2024

Capitalism has taken the world by a storm where things previously considered invaluable can now be priced and sold. Capitalism is an economic system where the nation’s goods and trade are under control of private owners with the sole aim of making profits whereas comodification is a process occurring under a capitalist system where goods gain monetary value through commercialization. What becomes commodified depends occasionally on the trend prevalent in society. In the current scenario, mental health is one of the trends that is becoming increasingly commodified. Shirts, bags, accessories with 'quirky' quotes related to serious mental health disorders and issues are marketed rampantly, trivializing mental health issues into a mere product. Social media platforms and influencers hoping onto this trend to make money have inadvertently romanticized mental health issues. More and more websites are popping up that provide half researched information as facts leading to cases of self-diagnosis and self-treatment. The digitalization of the world has given way to digital mental healthcare apps that provide a range of mental health related services on demand. The drawback of such apps, however, is that they lack any proper credentials with unlicensed individuals playing as therapists. Lax ethical guidelines surrounding said apps have further made it difficult to protect those at risk. Additionally, they also undermine therapy and its importance. All these areas have become money earning ground for big companies and private organization where individuals at their most vulnerable state are taken and marketed into this latent profit chain. Hence, this chapter covers the most recent trend observed in the field of mental healthcare in context of the modern world of digitalization and capitalism and hopes to outline the ethical issues surrounding Digital mental healthcare apps.

Authors: Rasquinha Dr. Deepa M , Shah Ms. Yukti , Prabhu Ms. Riya
Published: June 2024

Criminal rehabilitation is a process aimed at assisting individuals who have engaged in criminal activities to reintegrate them into society as law-abiding and productive members. It involves a combination of psychological, social, and educational interventions designed to address the underlying factors that contribute to criminal behaviour, as well as to equip individuals with the skills and tools necessary to lead a lawful and fulfilling life. The rehabilitative revolution embodies a profound understanding of human beings as dynamic entities capable of change and growth. It confronts the stigma that often accompanies individuals with criminal backgrounds and offers them a chance to rewrite their narratives. The capacity to dive into the psychological challenges that frequently underlie criminal behaviour is provided by clinical knowledge. It provides comprehension of traumatic experiences, mental health issues, alongside cognitive distortions that influence unwise decisions. Positive psychology presents strengths-based solutions that magnify people's innate potential, promoting personal development and long-lasting change. The fusion of clinical psychology and positive psychology is forging a revolutionary path towards criminal rehabilitation. As communities across the globe contend with rising crime rates, there’s a need to introduce a more thorough and empathetic approach. This integration combines clinical expertise with the strengths-based principles of positive psychology, striving to enable offenders to achieve personal development and successful reintegration. The collaboration between these fields transcends past limitations, generates cooperative strategies, and deals with moral challenges. This rehabilitative revolution envisions a brighter future by nurturing resilience, promoting positive emotions, and fostering personal growth, ultimately contributing to a more harmonious society.

RURAL DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS: AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TOWARDS ACHIEVING THE TARGETS
Authors: Dutt Dr. Bindia
Published: June 2024

Progress of any nation depends on the developmental efforts and strategies being followed for the societies residing there. Indian society is divided into rural, urban and tribal structures. India is a web of more than 600,000 villages scattered all over the country and has reported the densest rural population all over the world. Hence development of rural areas is of utmost importance in Indian context with two reasons. Firstly, Majority (72%) of the Indian population resides in rural areas and helps meeting out the food requirements of the growing population. Secondly rural areas are the engines for development as they are the primary producer and produce the raw material for industrial growth and in turn development of the country. Hence India’s development lies in the development of villages. However it has been found through different studies that rural India suffers from many issues such as illiteracy, unemployment, poverty, health, crime and violence, lack of new and modifying ways of agriculture, awareness of new technologies to combat hunger and nutritional deficiencies. Looking to this, The United Nations in the Year 2000 has come up with eight Millennium Development Goals focusing on human development- poverty- people and their lives- at the centre of the global development agenda for the new millennium. The Millennium Development Goals come to an end in the year 2015 with goal coverage to a large extent and is superseded with setting up of 17 Sustainable Development Goals to be met out by 2030. Rural Development in the form of encouraging and motivating strategies for the farmers to diversify their agriculture, adoption of Integrated Farming systems and novel farming techniques, growing good and healthy food for ensuring nutritional and health security, awareness of government schemes and programmes for availing the overall benefits by majority of the Indian population etc. will itself lead a way ahead for achieving Sustainable Development Goals 2030.
AN ANALYSIS OF CRIMINALITY OF NECROPHILIA IN INDIA
Authors: Guharoy Rajasi
Published: June 2024

According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder, necrophilia, "is a mental disorder wherein the individual is aroused and attracted to fantasies or actual sexual contact with a dead body and falls under the subclassification of paraphilia." The acts of necrophilia were present in the society since the ancient period. However, the implications of the act has been recently recognised by the judiciary. The concerned necrophilic conduct was so strongly rooted in the society that it was almost considered to be normal. However, in the present era, the fundamental rights are expressly enforced. As a result, the meaning and extent of the right to dignity have been analysed. Several cases of necrophilia were reported, and the detailed analysis of the cases exposed the lacunae in the legal regime in various State jurisdictions in recognising this as a serious offence. India was no exception. It is only in a recent judgment, the Karnataka High Court took discretion and decided that Necrophilia should be explicitly recognised as an separate offence and should not be considered as the act of rape or sodomy as the latter only relates to living persons. Once the person is dead, the ingredients of rape or sodomy do not apply. The Court observed that the attendants of majority of the government and private hospitals are appointed to guard the dead bodies. They intend to have sexual intercourse on the dead bodies, especially of those which belonged to young ladies. This paper aims to discuss various criminological perspective relating to necrophilia and examine to what extent it was rooted in the society.

The monitoring of key physico-chemical parameters for aquaculture water quality is of paramount importance in fish farming. This chapter delves into the critical parameters that influence fish survival and development, including pH, electrical conductivity (EC), oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), and turbidity. Maintaining optimal conditions within defined ranges is essential for fish health and productivity, as deviations can lead to stress or even mortality. Furthermore, specific water quality criteria for pond water fishery are outlined to achieve high yields with minimal inputs. The integration of advanced technologies such as wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and embedded systems has revolutionized water quality monitoring in aquaculture. WSNs offer remote data capture and real-time monitoring, enhancing efficiency and providing insights into environmental conditions. Embedded systems, equipped with ZigBee, GSM, Cloud, MSP430, and Lab View technologies, enable precise control and monitoring of critical parameters. In addition to WSNs and embedded systems, various automatic monitoring systems, including IoT-based solutions, RF, GSM, GPS tracking, artificial neural networks (ANN), computer vision, and specialized sensor platforms, have emerged as valuable tools for aquaculture farmers. These systems enable real-time data collection, predictive capabilities, and insights into fish behaviour, ultimately promoting sustainability and efficient farming practices. The integration of technology with aquaculture holds the potential for a future where data-driven insights and sophisticated monitoring systems take a pivotal role in nurturing aquatic life and safeguarding the sustainability of the aquaculture industry.

The Parshall flume was designed primarily to monitor the discharge rate in various irrigation channels, dam discharge, municipal sewer flow rate, industrial wastewater discharge, and many other applications, such as indirect measurement of landfill leachate, whereas its secondary use is to aid in increasing the amount of oxygen in a channel. Aeration is the process through which oxygen is exchanged between water and air. A Parshall flume was designed with a converging part, a diverging outflow, and a flat floor, known as a throat with upward slope sections and a downward sloping floor. The main merits of a Parshall flume are its self-cleaning capability, relatively low head loss compared to other open channel hydraulic structures, high self-cleaning capability, and the ability to sustain comparatively high degrees of submergence without impacting the rate of flow. The famous, simple, and original equation of the Parshall flume contains the biggest shortcoming of not considering spatial and temporal variation which leads to insufficient findings and poor maintenance. The modification of the Parshall flume equation depending on climatic and design parameters is important and may be done successfully and efficiently utilizing software modelling. Many researchers have employed various software modelling techniques to improve the computation speed, accuracy, and precision of measurements in the Parshall flume. The main focus of this study is to determine various software modelling techniques used for the measurement of aeration in the Parshall fume and improvement in the Parshall flume equation

Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) are invaluable tools for planning and management of soil and water conservation measures, playing pivotal roles in sustainable land management. Remote Sensing facilitates the identification, mapping, and continual monitoring of these measures, providing high-resolution data from various sensors, This data empowers us to track the spatial distribution of critical land management components and observe changes in topography, vegetation cover, and land use, fundamental for conservation assessment. Complementing Remote Sensing, GIS acts as the analytical engine, processing and interpreting spatial data with precision. It offers a toolbox for modeling the impact of conservation measures on erosion, sedimentation, and runoff generation. GIS transforms raw data into actionable insights, allowing us to assess the true influence of these measures on ecosystems. The synergy between RS and GIS is transformative, empowering decision-makers with comprehensive information about conservation measures effectiveness. It also aids in anticipating and mitigating risks tied to the erosion, sedimentation, and changing land use's effects on water resources.Though the adoption of RS and GIS for assessments soil and water conservation measures is in its infancy, the potential benefits are immense. These technologies promise to revolutionize land management, enhancing sustainability and environmental protection. Through this chapter, attempts have been made to explore their transformative power, aiming to safeguard natural resources and harmonize human activities with ecological preservation.

One of the key elements in predicting yield is the real-time detection of fruits and vegetables. Conventional detection techniques encounter constraints in precisely discerning distinct growth stages, primarily attributable to pronounced occlusion stemming from proximal foliage, substantial intermingling among adjacent fruits, dissimilarities in dimensions, pigmentation, aggregation density, and diverse developmental attributes. An improved YOLO-v3 model is suggested for recognising apples in orchards with varying light, complex backdrops, overlapping apples, branches, and leaves in order to detect the fruits at various development phases. Images of young, growing, and ripe apples are the first things that are gathered. Subsequently, rotation-based transformations, color equilibrium adjustments, luminance manipulations, and image blurring procedures are employed to augment the visual quality of these photographs. In recent fruit detection models, both Faster R-CNN with VGG16 net, and original YOLO-v3-dense are outperformed by an improved model YOLO-v3-dense. In a scenario including a complicated orchard, the Dense-YOLOv4 model has been used to identify several mango growth phases with a high degree of occultation. By concluding all above points, it is suggested that Dense-YOLOv4 model is one of most accurate model to detect the different types of fruits and vegetables.

Soil is a complex mixture of minerals, organic materials, water, and living organisms covering the Earth's surface, exhibits varying degrees of susceptibility to erosion. The parameter used to quantify this susceptibility, known as the soil erodibility factor (K), is subject to fluctuations within a watershed due to distinct soil characteristics such as texture, structure, permeability, and organic matter content. It is the most important soil factor that cause the soil erosion. Soil erodibility influences the rate at which soil particles are detached and transported by erosive agents such as water and wind. This research endeavour was carried out within the central MPKV campus watershed, with the primary objective of determining the soil erodibility factor (K). For determination of soil texture and organic carbon, soil sampling was done and 51 soil samples were collected from points from the study area. The calculated soil erodibility factor (K) values were assigned to respective soil sample locations in soil map. This soil map was converted in grid format and then K factor map was generated using Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) technique of interpolation in ArcGIS environment. The study revealed that the predominant soil type in the area was clay loam and sandy clay loam, comprising over 50% of the total area. The computed values for the soil erodibility factor ranged from 0.0396 to 0.0571 t-ha-h/ha-MJ-mm.
