A Detailed Study of the Modernist Literature
Authors: - Ranjan Kumar
Published: January 2025

Modernism in literature, influenced by industrialisation and urbanisation, emphasizes new forms of expression, as highlighted by Ezra Pound's call to "Make it new." It reflects a response to societal changes and a sense of disillusionment following World War I, as epitomized by W. B. Yeats' line "Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold." T.S. Eliot’s *The Waste Land* (1922) exemplifies the search for redemption in a fragmented world. The paper will explore the characteristics, key figures, and impact of Modernist literature.

A Comparative Analysis of Abuse of Dominant Position between India and UK.
Authors: - Vishnu Bharadwaj
Published: January 2025

By making a distinction between companies that gain dominance via fair competition and those that abuse it to suppress market rivalry and take advantage of customers, India's Competition Act, 2002 seeks to prohibit the abuse of dominant market positions. Unfair pricing and discriminatory conditions that harm competitors and restrict consumer options are examples of behaviors that are addressed by the Act. In order to uphold the Act and encourage competitive market conditions that benefit customers and the expansion of the sector as a whole, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) was founded. But it might be difficult to tell the difference between abuse and legitimate authority. Key terminology like "enterprise" and "group" are defined throughout the Act to make its scope more clear. An "enterprise" is any organization that produces, distributes, or controls goods and services, whereas a "group" is made up of several businesses that have substantial voting rights or managerial authority over one another. Abuse of a dominating market position is prohibited by Section 4 of the Act, which lists actions such as restricting market access, unfair pricing, and barring rivals. Two primary viewpoints are used to assess dominance: structural (market share) and behavioral (capacity to function independently of rivals). When evaluating market power, the behavioral definition is used since it is more thorough. Prior to the Act, market share was the main determinant of dominance; however, the SVS Raghavan Committee placed a strong emphasis on analyzing a company's effect on competition. Comparably, in accordance with EU legislation, Section 18 of the UK's Competition Act 1998 forbids the misuse of market dominance. It draws attention to actions such as discriminatory terminology, restricting policies, and unfair pricing. By addressing matters such as merger control and market investigations, the Enterprise Act of 2002 promotes competition even more. In the UK, competition laws are enforced by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). Although the competition rules of the UK and India are similar, the UK Act more closely resembles EU law, particularly with regard to market dominance, albeit with minor jurisdictional distinctions.

Published: January 2025

We have reported, the results of dielectric parameters for Diethylene glycol Monomethyl ether (DGME) -chlorobenzene (CB) binary mixture over the entire range of concentrations in the frequency range from 10MHz-20GHz at different temperatures by time domain reflectometry (TDR) technique. Dielectric parameters viz. dielectric constant (_0 ), relaxation time (τ in ps) were obtained from complex permittivity spectra using nonlinear least squares fit method. Using these parameters excess permittivity (〖_0〗^E ), excess inverse relaxation time(〖1⁄〗^E ), Kirkwood correlation factor 〖(g〗^eff) were determined. On the basis of these parameters, intermolecular interaction and dynamics of molecules at molecular level are predicated. The Kirkwood correlation factor is used to understand the molecular orientation in the mixture. In this paper, the given data provide information regarding solute-solvent interaction.

Published: January 2025

Consumers and customers must be aware of the importance of digital payments in today's world. There are several reasons for this, such as digital India and the mechanization of e-documentation. Physical payment is becoming increasingly important nowadays for various reasons, including time and security. This enabled e-payment techniques such as internet banking, which was further simplified by Android mobile phones. Having this in mind, the research was designed to focus on consumer behavior toward UPI (Unified Payments Interface). The goal of this study is to learn about consumer perception and satisfaction. The research design used in this study is descriptive research design, with the primary data collection method along with a structured questionnaire which constitutes 82 respondents and the statistical techniques used are chi-square analysis. The study finds that gender does not exhibit a substantial influence on either perception or satisfaction levels regarding UPI payments. While the habit of dealing in cash persists among both genders, the data shows no statistically significant link to gender-specific attitudes toward digital transactions. The study was restricted only to Surat District.

Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT): The Socket Theory
Authors: - Mohd Ali
Published: January 2025

Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) is a multi-methodic methodology that focuses on collecting all possible information about a target that is publicly available. OSINT plays a key role when performing an investigation on a target, especially when gathering actionable intelligence from publicly available information.
One of the most important and critical aspects of a successful OSINT operation is maintaining anonymity. Keeping your identity hidden in OSINT plays a key role in shielding who you are, steering clear of being spotted or singled out, and ensuring that investigations stay on track. It helps avoid legal troubles, leaves no traces online, and allows for safe, ethical intelligence gathering without tipping off targets or violating privacy. Another important aspect is that it prevents targets from detecting the investigation, ensures that the investigator can operate without interference, and helps avoid unintended exposure or retaliation, keeping the process safe and effective.
To address this challenge, a proper strategy and framework are needed so that the investigator's identity remains anonymous while still being effective in gathering the necessary details.
This paper introduces Socket Theory, an innovative framework derived from the practice of creating sock puppets—fictitious online identities used for investigative purposes. Through a structured methodology, Socket Theory aims to enhance operational security (OpSec), improve the authenticity of digital personas, and provide a systematic approach to managing sock puppets effectively. This paper discusses the fundamental principles of Socket Theory, its significance in OSINT operations, and best practices for implementing this methodology.
The Impact of Maternal Postpartum Depression on Child Growth/Development in India: A Review
Authors: - Harini Prabhu Shankar
Published: January 2025

Postpartum depression (PPD) can impede mother-child bonding, feeding, and caregiving to stimulate child growth. The lack of initiative can deprive children of the nurturing essential for their development. In India, where mental health is considered ‘taboo,’ PPD has a high prevalence rate and goes unnoticed. Therefore, this paper explores the risk factors of PPD in India, such as age, socio-economic status, education levels, marital and familial relationships, lack of mental healthcare facilities, and the child’s gender. Studies that investigate these relationships were used to determine its impact on an infant's physical and psychological growth. This paper examines current information on how PPD affects children's cognitive development in India, emphasizes the importance of longitudinal studies across for age groups to observe its prolonged effect, and advocates for research on mothers from diverse socioeconomic situations where healthcare access may not be a constraint.
Gender Inequality in Educational Status of Tribals in India – An Extensive Review of Studies
Authors: - Dr.K.B.Nayak
Published: January 2025

Education is not only a means of development, but also it is an end in itself. Education to women is as essential as to men. Among the weaker sections in India, the Scheduled tribe is considered as the most backward community lagging far behind other communities in terms of educational and socio-economic development. As in every patriarchal society in general, women are subservient and dominated by men that indicates gender inequality and lower status of women, so also in majority of tribal communities, the patriarchal system has gradually evolved due to various forces of social change which has produced different facets of gender inequality and lower status of women in general. Today, the educational status of tribal women in many parts of India is also observed as very low as compared to their male counterparts. Development of literacy among tribal women is a challenging issue in the present scenario. Despite various constitutional provisions and government policies for the development of tribal in general and tribal woman in particular, they still are lagging behind other categories of women in respect of their literacy and education as such. There are many critical issues and problems in the field of tribal women’s education which need proper attention of government while making policies and programmes. Based on an extensive review of secondary resources and available literature, this paper reveals a grave issue of gender inequality in educational status while dealing with various problems of tribal women’s education and it suggests some remedial measures for their educational empowerment and development.

Authors: - Dr. Krishna Kumar Patel , - Dr.Sarita Patel , - Dr. Saradia Kar
Published: January 2025

The extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) have been reported in various clinical isolates obtained from hospitals in India, however, there is no data on the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of CTX-M type ESBL produced by Gram-negative bacilli. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and distribution of the blaCTX-M genes and the susceptibility patterns in ESBL producing clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacilli. A total of 200 non-duplicate and pure isolates obtained from clinical isolates and identification of the isolates was performed by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Susceptibility testing and ESBL detection was performed using VITEK® 2, according to EUCAST v4.0 guidelines. Genotypic analysis was performed using Check-MDR CT103 Microarrays. Out of total 112 isolates screen positive for ESBLs, 71 tested positive for ESBL encoding genes by Check-MDR array. Among the CTX-M types, blaCTX-M carrying Enterobacteriaceae (n = 64) isolates showed no resistance against imipenem and meropenem and a moderate resistance rate against tigecycline, fosfomycin and amikacin. On the other hand, all the blaCTX-M positive Enterobacteriaceae showed a multidrug resistant (MDR) phenotype with remarkable co-resistances (non-susceptibility rates) to aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazol. This study demonstrates a remarkably high prevalence of blaCTX-M genes among ESBL-producing isolates. The high level of resistance to β-lactam and non-β-lactam antibiotics as well as the trend to a MDR profile associated with the blaCTX-M genes are alarming and poses the requirement for appropriate choice of antimicrobial therapy.

Published: January 2025

Autonomous navigation is important for wheeled robots in dynamic and unstructured environments. This paper details a ROS-based framework for motion planning that gives a robust and modular platform for the development and integration of robotic systems. The methodology involves robot modeling, environment mapping, path planning, control strategies, and execution mechanisms. It is built on ROS packages and tools like RViz, Gazebo, and MoveIt! It has to efficiently plan motion. This is simulated in details and even run in real-life. From both simulation and the real-world analysis, this shows that such a system would really navigate even constrained environments such as smooth trajectory generation or obstacle avoidance. This shows scalability and applicability of such systems, based on the ROS architecture, towards highly variant applications starting from industrial automation all the way up to an autonomous vehicle.

Authors: - Oliver Napila Gomez , - Edna Salva
Published: January 2025

The study investigated the influence of basic psychological needs and time management on volition in exercise among college students in local universities and colleges (LUCs) in Northern Mindanao, Philippines. A convergent mixed methods design was applied to collect quantitative data through surveys and qualitative data using in-depth interviews and focus groups. Results showed that satisfaction with basic psychological needs was high, time-management skills were high, and volition in exercise was moderate. In a singular capacity, psychological needs did not significantly influence the volition in exercise, while time management directly influenced the volition in exercise. Together, these variables directly predict volition. Qualitatively, six emerging themes were revealed regarding the lived experiences of the participants on volition in exercise, namely: navigating life and practical constraints, balancing academic and family responsibilities, health and well-being as intrinsic motivators, social, environmental, and technological influences, self-improvement and confidence building, and structured programs as enablers of consistency. Three essential themes emerged on the role of experiences in shaping the beliefs, attitudes, and commitment of college students such as prioritizing health and well-being, believing in the impact of social support, and embracing exercise as integral to identity, shaped students attitude: cultivating a positive attitude towards exercise, setting and pursuing goal-oriented motivation, and building confidence and self-reflection, and shaped students’ commitment: establishing routine and discipline, using exercise for self-care, and gaining independence and resilience. The extent to which the qualitative data corroborated with quantitative findings is diverse, including converging, diverging, and expanding relationships across the study.

Published: January 2025

Hygiene refers to conditions and practices that help to maintain health and prevent the spread of diseases (WHO). The main purpose of the present work is to study the general awareness of self and surrounding hygiene among the Kanwar tribe of Chhattisgarh. Kanwar is one of the largest tribal groups of Chhattisgarh, residing mainly in Raigarh, Surguja, Korba, Janjgir-Champa, Bilaspur, Dhamtari, Mahasamund, Korea, Raipur and Kabirdham districts of Chhattisgarh.
Total 181 Kanwar individuals of age group 30-70 yrs have been selected through random sampling from Korba district of Chhattisgarh. In the present study, several hygienic practices such as location of cattle shed, frequency of cleaning cattleshed, disposal of waste , frequency of regular bathing, regular brushing of teeth, awareness regarding hand wash after toilet and before meal, frequency of changing clothes and undergarments and so on, are taken into consideration.
Among the Kanwar individuals, 96.6 % responded to cleanliness of home surrounding as the main concept of hygiene. Most of them (55.24%) have their cattle shed outside the houses and they used to clean it, once in every couple of days(68.5 %). More than half of the respondents (51.38 %) throw the garbages in dig. They are found well aware regarding hand wash after toilet(98.3 %) and before meal(71.2 %). Most of the Kanwar people (67.90 %) depend on well for drinking water throughout the year.
In the light of above findings, it is quite clear that they have sufficient knowledge regarding hygienic practices and also, they are well aware of the cleanliness, which, in turn, reflects their good hygienic condition. It is suggested that atleast one pump house should be there in the village, so that their dependency on well as a source of drinking water could be reduced.

The main goal of the research article is to offer a substitute technique that reduces the amount of time and energy needed to melt the blocks of butter needed to produce ghee in the dairy processing business. This research attempts to address the several drawbacks of the current butter melting technique. Nowadays, each dairy facility uses melting vats to carry out the melting process, which uses high-temperature steam and a heat exchange phenomenon. The entire output and profitability of the dairy facilities are being significantly impacted by this system's excessive energy losses, increased labor costs, and longer turnaround times. This study describes a machine that can melt hard butter blocks at low temperatures using preheating, saving time on subsequent butter melting for manufacturing of ghee. It also reduce the amount of heat required for butter melting by increasing the surface area for heat exchange between butter blocks. This revolutionary technology could help the dairy industry increase profits while saving time. Furthermore, the use of AI in this new technique will again lead to increased profitability of dairy firms.

Gender Inequality in Livelihood Choice
Authors: - NILU DAS
Published: January 2025

Livelihood is defined as a means of living. It refers to the capabilities and activities of an individual to use assets, which include both material and social resources. Livelihood often encompasses income, as well as social institutions, gender relations, and property rights required to support and sustain a certain standard of living. Access to and benefits derived from social and public services provided by the state, such as education, health services, and other infrastructure are also associated with livelihood. Sustainable livelihood programs seek to create long-lasting solutions. In a patriarchal society like India, livelihood opportunities are often gendered. The practice is prevalent in both urban and rural societies. Women are ascribed a secondary position in the job market. However at the same time some jobs are considered to be women specific.
The present study through review of literature tries to understand the concept of livelihood; identify the causes of bifurcation of livelihood; and analyses the advantages and disadvantages of bifurcation of livelihood in Indian context. Economic independence is important for an individual as well as the society. In India we often come across gendered bifurcation of livelihood. The main causes of such discrimination include unequal access to natural resources and other productive resources, unequal access to finance, technology, and knowledge; discriminatory social, cultural, and legal norms and practices; and
capacity gaps for women. Along with many disadvantages such bifurcation has been found to be of advantage to some women who cannot unbind themselves from social norms. Professions like teaching and nursing are often considered to be women specific. Women also feel safe and dedicate themselves in these professions.

“Who’s In My Seat?”: On What We Can Learn from God’s Complaint about Morons Who Don’t Understand Asymmetries in Sociobehavioral Patterns, Neuroscience, and Our Inherently Physical Universe
Authors: - D. Tony Sun
Published: January 2025

Societal life has impressed upon us that our human activities and products are various, but not uniformly monotonic. However, the social movements, explicitly or informally driven by an overly politically correct lifestyle and sociopolitical outlook, add excruciating pressure as well as encourage people amorphously to be balanced and in particular “be in the middle” most of the time. In this article the author argues that when we stay, or even force ourselves, in the middle of something, even if the arrogant assumption was made that centrality or “middle-ness” seems to imply importance, we are missing points on the fact that the so-called “centers” of human civilization as well as the physical universe may not be us, but rather something higher than us and bigger than our own existence and where God is potentially positioned either constantly or occasionally.

This study, titled Factors Behind Freshmen's Preference for Criminology Program, aimed to identify the intrinsic and extrinsic factors influencing freshmen's choice to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Criminology at Don Carlos Polytechnic College. Utilizing a descriptive research design, the study collected data through a self-made questionnaire distributed to bonafide first-year Criminology students. The study used a stratified random sampling method and analyzed factors such as personal interest, self-efficacy, perceived nature of work, job prospects, and social-environmental influences. The findings revealed that intrinsic factors like personal interest and the perceived nature of work were highly influential, while extrinsic factors like job prospects also played a significant role. No significant differences were observed in the level of influence when respondents were grouped according to their demographic profile, indicating that both male and female students from diverse educational backgrounds were similarly motivated. The study concluded that freshmen in the Criminology program were motivated by both intrinsic factors (e.g., personal interest) and extrinsic factors (e.g., job prospects), regardless of their age, gender, or Senior High School strand completed. Based on these findings, recommendations for students, parents, teachers, and institutions were provided, focusing on fostering career self-awareness, supporting decision-making, and improving guidance systems. The study also suggested areas for future research, including a broader examination of factors influencing career choices and the impact of social support on students’ career decisions.

AI: A Double-Edged Sword in Cybersecurity-Threats and Defense Mechanisms

Generally, when we hear something related to AI, it’s always on how it helps us, how it reduces our workload or how it increases the efficiency of the task. But that's not always the case. This is just the one side of a coin. The other side of coin is not much popular in present times which in turn helps the people who misuse it. AI is a double-edged sword. As the sharpness of the sword increases, the better the sword will be. Since it’s a double edged one, it hurts us too. In the exact same way as the AI evolves it helps people, but it also can be used to harm the people.

For example, if we see a soldier with a gun, we will feel safe but if we see the same gun with a stranger, we will be terrified. Here gun is akin to AI and normally the people only know about soldiers and pay no heed to the other situation. Hence in this paper we will be discussing about how AI can be used for wrong purposes.

This paper inspects the darker applications of AI, particularly the threats created by AI-driven cyberattacks. Our focus is to raise awareness of these obscure risks and stress the need for protections to prevent AI misuse. Specifically, we will cover the basics of cyberattacks, how AI makes them more effective, and a method to defend against them.
