Published: September 2024

Although there has been a wide theoretical and experimental development showing some evidence of the relationshipbetween this type of memory and emotional disturbance, the procedure employed to obtain memories has methodologicalrestrictions. Nowadays, a standardized instrument to assess memory recovery processes controlling for subjectivebias is not available. This work analyzes the behaviour of the Autobiographical Memory Test (AMT) among Spanishpopulation controlling for such subjective bias employing a psycholinguistic programme to opt for cue-words. Resultsshowed a satisfactory functioning of the chosen procedure to select Spanish cue-words. However, some differencesbetween emotional and psychological variables and specific recall were also reported, according to recent research thatsupport the presence of important subjective elements linked to autobiographical retrieval. The Spanish version of theAutobiographical Memory Test, obtained as a result of the current work, is considered an appropriate instrument toobtain specific voluntary memories for Spanish samples.

Dynamics of Gender and Health in Bama’s Sangati and Kadeeja Mumtas’ Barsa
Authors: Mahima Gupta  
Published: September 2024

Gender and health are two separate disciplines having a strong connection with each other. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), gender is a core social determinant of health and health inequalities. These health inequalities are associated with the lifestyle, accessibility and care provided to men and women. In most Indian societies, women are perceived as child-bearers, caregivers having no say in the communities they live in. Moreover they have been shoved into margins and an indifferent attitude is formed for them. From the viewpoint of gender, class or ethnic disparities women in India face a multitude of health and hygiene problems. This marginalization causes inequitable access to essential human needs such as water, proper health and sanitary facilities. Consequently women have poorer health than men. Another form in which women are suppressed and oppressed are sexual harassment, violence, physical abuse, occupational and environmental hazards due to which they not only suffer from physiological problems but it also affects their mental health like psychological stress and strain. These health issues deteriorate their well- being. Due to casteism prevalent in our society the so- called power holders exploit Dalit women treating them as lower than humans and ‘other’. Bama’s Sangati is a look at the part of the lives of those Paraiya women. Kadeeja Mumtas’ novel Barsa is a commentary on the position of women in Muslim society focusing on the illegal practices like circumcision. This paper aims to examine the issues which the Tamil Christian Dalit women and Muslim women face in terms of health and sexuality as discussed in Bama’s Sangati and Kadeeja Mumtas’ Barsa through depicting a critique of several generations of women.
Engaging the Classic
Authors: Alagunfon Sulaiman A. 
Published: September 2024

This paper explores the literary characteristics of the Nigerian maqāmāt, which are inspired by the classical Arabic prototypes. Nigerian Arabic writers have actively embraced the maqāma genre since the early 21st century, producing various collections that consciously or unconsciously emulate the classical models. Throughout their maqāmas, Nigerian writers recalibrate the features of the genre by showcasing the influence of their primary model, al-Ḥarīrī’s Maqāmāt (446-516/1054-1122). Through techniques such as allusion, borrowing, continuation, and more, these works raise important themes of originality, literary emulation, competition, and homage, thereby highlighting the impact of classical Arabic heritage on contemporary Arabic writing. In this paper, the analysis of these emulating features is complemented by textual examples from four recently published maqāma collections in Nigeria, which are compared to their classical prototypes.
Key words: maqāma, Nigeria, rewriting, emulation, literary influence, Classical Arabic.

Authors: M Yuvaraja , R Priya , S Uma Maheswari , J Dhanasekar 
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consist of sensor nodes requiring energy-saving measures to extend their lifespan. Traditional solutions often lead to premature node failure due to non-adaptive network setups. Differential Evolution (DE) and Genetic Algorithms (GA) are two key evolutionary algorithms used for optimizing cluster head (CH) selection in WSNs to enhance energy efficiency and prolong network lifetime.Methods: This study compares DE and GA for CH selection optimization, focusing on energy efficiency and network lifespan. It also introduces an improved decryption method for the Paillier homomorphic encryption system to reduce decryption time and computational cost.Results: Experiments show GA outperforms DE in the number of rounds for the first node to die (FND) and achieves a longer network lifespan, despite fewer rounds for the last node to die (LND). GA has slower fitness convergence but higher population fitness values and significantly faster decoding speeds.Conclusion: GA is more effective than DE for CH selection in WSNs, leading to an extended network lifespan and better energy efficiency. Despite slower fitness convergence, GA's higher fitness values and improved decoding speeds make it a superior choice. The enhancements to the Paillier encryption system further increase its efficiency, offering a robust solution for secure and efficient WSN operation

Authors: Antonyinico I. , Pravin Durai F. R. Alexander 
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Teachers contribute significantly to the growth of schools and students by determining each child's future. Teachers support young minds and help them do great things. So, a teacher's work-life balance needs to be taken care of and is a must for every teacher. The school teachers can better balance their family and work life by adopting a work-life balance strategy. In order to maintain work life balance, teachers should prioritise their time and balance their work with their family, health, holidays, and other commitments. Objectives: To study the demographic factors on stress level among teachers, to assess the variables that affect work-life balance and to determine the consequences of not maintaining the work-life balance of teachers at self-financing schools.Method: The primary data were gathered using questionnaires, and a total of 200 samples were chosen. The methodology includes specific statistical tools such as percentage analysis, chi-Square, correlation, and one-way ANOVA for analysis and interpretation. Results: The analysis suggests that the factors affecting work-life balance, including heavy household work, financial commitments, childcare challenges, lack of recognition, job dissatisfaction, and family time constraints, are significantly correlated with higher stress levels among the teachers of self-financing schools. The findings suggest that achieving work-life balance is possible with the help of school support through counseling programmes, transparent flexible working hours, and accommodating leave for family emergencies. Conclusion: Neglecting work-life balance can have a negative impact on teachers in self-financing schools, limiting their ability to manage domestic tasks, causing physical health concerns, and leading to professional and personal errors. However, teachers can truly enjoy the blessings of life by developing the necessary life coping skills to effectively manage work-life balance
Hypertonic saline for ischemic stroke: a review
Authors: Bajwa Rameen Ata , Jessani Angelina , Raja Hanan Farzand , Aziz Bisma 
Published: September 2024

Background and Objective:
Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) is a critical complication of ischemic stroke. This review article summarizes existing literature pertaining to the role of hypertonic saline (HTS) in lowering ICP in ischemic stroke patients.
Methods:
Studies were selected using a comprehensive search of several research databases. Studies conducted in adult (aged 18 and older) human patients receiving HTS osmotherapy for elevated ICP were included, encompassing a wide range of neurological conditions and various administration methods, durations, and concentrations of HTS.
Results:
We found HTS to reduce ICP in ischemic stroke patients, on par effectively, and in some studies, superior to more conventional ICP-lowering methods such as mannitol. Patients with comorbid conditions such as cerebrovascular and renal diseases also tolerated HTS well. The risk of developing hypernatremia was significantly higher in patients receiving HTS osmotherapy. Neurological complications, such as central pontine myelinosis, were not observed in any of the participants; however, no clear benefit regarding the long-term neurologic outcome of these patients has been reported thus far.
Conclusion:
While encouraging, existing literature on the use of HTS as a treatment for elevated ICP still needs to be more conclusive and necessitates further research. Questions regarding duration, optimal concentration of intervention, and method of administration need to be addressed by future randomized controlled trials.
