title: রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুরের ছোট গল্পে ভৃত্যদের ভূমিকা উন্মোচন: সামাজিক শ্রেণী, ত্যাগ এবং ঔপনিবেশিক প্রভাবের উপর একটি দৃষ্টিকোণ

description: সারসংক্ষেপ: 
বিশ্বসাহিত্যের অন্যতম সার্থক ছোটগল্পকার রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর (১৮৬১-১৯৪১)। তিনি শ্রেণি-ধর্ম-বর্ণের উর্ধ্বে গিয়ে মানুষকে ধারণ করেন। সমাজের নিম্নস্তরে অবস্থিত ভৃত্য বা গৃহভৃত্য তাঁর ছোটগল্পগুলিতে তাৎপর্যবহ চরিত্রে হাজির হয়েছে। রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর তাদের গৃহের অপরিচ্ছন্ন কোণ থেকে বের করে দৃষ্টির সম্মুখভাগে হাজির করেন। ক্ষয়িষ্ণু সামন্ততান্ত্রিক সমাজে বাবুদের শান্তি ও স্বস্তি বিধানে উৎসর্গীকৃত এই ভৃত্যদের জীবন ও কর্মপরিধি উল্লিখিত হয়েছে বর্তমান প্রবন্ধে। ইতিহাসে অবহেলিত এই শ্রেণি কীভাবে বাঙালি মধ্যবিত্তের গৃহে অপরিহার্য হয়ে উঠেছিল সেটি বিশ্লেষণ করা হয়েছে ছোটগল্পগুলি পর্যালোচনা করে। রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর তাঁর গল্পগুলির মাধ্যমে ভৃত্যদের যে অবদান প্রতিপাদন করেন- সেটি নির্ণয় করা আলোচ্য প্রবন্ধের মূল লক্ষ্য। ভৃত্যদের আন্তরিকতা ও ত্যাগকে প্রভুরা মূল্যায়ন করে কেবল স্বার্থগত দৃষ্টিকোণ থেকে। সামন্ত ও আধা-সামন্ত প্রভুদের এই মনন ঔপনিবেশিক প্রভাবজাত-এই প্রত্যয়টি অনুসন্ধান করা গবেষণা কর্মটির প্রধান উদ্দেশ্য। গবেষণা কর্মটির মাধ্যমে রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুরের সাহিত্য বিচার ও মূল্যায়নে নতুন দৃষ্টিভঙ্গি যুক্ত হবে এবং সাহিত্যে ভৃত্য-প্রসঙ্গটি চর্চিত হবে। যা সমাজ বিন্যাসে ইতিবাচক ভূমিকা রাখবে।

title: ভাষার বিবর্তন: আঞ্চলিক উপভাষা থেকে প্রমিত সামাজিক আলোচনা

description: সংক্ষিপ্তসারঃ
ভাষা কি, কাকে বলে? ভাষা কিভাবে সৃষ্টি হল? একটি ভাষা প্রথমে কিভাবে গড়ে উঠল। তারপর ভাষাগোষ্ঠীর এলাকা বৃদ্ধির ফলে একটি অঞ্চলের ভাষা কিভাবে তার আঞ্চলিকতার গণ্ডী পেরিয়ে বৃহত্তর জনগোষ্ঠীর ভাষা হয়ে উঠল-যাকে আমরা 'ভাষা' বলি। এখন তার পরিচয় দিয়েছি। আবার সেই আঞ্চলিক ভাষার বৃহৎগোষ্ঠীর ভাষা হয়ে ওঠার পর, তা কেমন করে শিক্ষিত জনের মার্জিত উচ্চারণের ফলে শিষ্ট ভাষার জন্ম দিল। এই ভাষা, শিষ্টভাষা ও আঞ্চলিক ভাষার পারস্পরিক সম্পর্ক ও পার্থক্য নির্ণয়ের সঙ্গে সঙ্গে এই ভাষা কিভাবে গোষ্ঠী জীবনের মধ্যে সীমাবদ্ধ লোকভাষার জন্ম দিল তার পরিচয় দিয়েছি। আবার এই ভাষাই সামাজিক ভাষা হিসেবে কিভাবে সমাজ ভাষা বিজ্ঞানে পরিচয় হয়ে উঠছে তারও বর্ণনা দিয়েছি।
সূচকঃ
তাই ভাষা ও লোকভাষার প্রাথমিক স্তরের আলোচনা হিসেবে এই গদ্য একটি পূর্ণাঙ্গ আলোচনা হয়ে উঠেছে। 
আদিম মানুষের ডাকে সংকেত বিনিময়ের প্রাগভাষা থেকেই একদিন ভাষার সৃষ্টি হয়েছিল, এরকম একটি অনুমান করা যেতে পারে। যদিও সে ভাষা ছিল সীমাবদ্ধ। আর সেই বদ্ধ পূর্বভাষা থেকেই একদিন মুক্ত, অনন্ত সম্ভাবনাময় উৎপাদনী শক্তির ভাষা সৃষ্টিই মানুষের সাংস্কৃতিক ইতিহাসের শ্রেষ্ঠ কীর্তি। ভাষা হল মানুষের সামাজিক-সাংস্কৃতিক মননের শ্রেষ্ঠ পরিচয়। বিখ্যাত ভাষাবিজ্ঞানী স্টার্টেভান্ট (Sturtevant Edgar H) ভাষার সংজ্ঞায় লিখেছেন- 'A language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols by which members of a social group co-operate and interract........একটি উপভাষাই ভাষা (স্বীকৃত ভাষা) হয়ে উঠতে পারে। আবার ভাষা থেকেও উপভাষার জন্ম হয়। অর্থাৎ ভাষা-উপভাষার সম্পর্ক অনেকটাই ডিম আগে না মুরগী আগে এই বিতর্কের মতো। কিন্তু উপভাষা থেকে লোকভাষার জন্ম হয় না। একই লোকভাষা বিভিন্ন অঞ্চলে অর্থাৎ অঞ্চল ভেদে প্রায় একই। যেমন মেদিনীপুরের বা বাঁকুড়ার কুমোর, বা বীরভূমের কুমোর কি কোচ বিহারের, এদের মধ্যে আঞ্চলিক ভাষার ভাষিক পার্থক্য থাকতে পারে, কিন্তু লোকভাষার অথবা তার গোষ্ঠী বা বৃত্তিগত ভাষা ব্যবহারের প্রায় কোনো পার্থক্য নেই। উপভাষার একাধিক উপাদানের মধ্যে লোকগোষ্ঠীরা ও অন্তর্ভুক্ত। তবুউপভাষার (১) যে আঞ্চলিক গণ্ডীবদ্ধতা আছে, (২) তার যে নিজস্ব ভাষিকরূপ নিভাষা Idiolect আছে, (৩) উপভাষার আদর্শ, স্বয়ম্ভরতা, ঐতিহাসিকতা ও সজীব চলমানতা এ সব লোকভাষার নেই। এই জায়গায় লোকভাষা অনেকখানি বদ্ধ। সে জন্যই উত্তরাধুনিকতার প্রভাবে তার মৃত্যুও ক্ষয় অনিবার্য। তাই তাকে সংরক্ষণ আজ আসু প্রয়োজনীয়।

title: Virtual reality_Pain Perception during Paediatric Vaccination.

description: Aims and objectives: To determine the effect of immersive virtual reality on perceived pain and fear in children during vaccination and parental satisfaction with the procedure. 

Background: Virtual reality can reduce the perception of pain by children but only three studies have analysed its use during vaccination to date; these had small sample sizes and imperfect methodological designs. 

Design: A randomised controlled trial. 

Methods: 162 participants from the (blinded) Health Center were randomly assigned to the intervention group (n=82) in which distraction with immersive virtual reality was used during the vaccination, while standard distraction techniques were used for the control group (n=80). The primary outcome was pain (Wong–Baker FACES). Secondary outcomes included (Children’s Fear Scale) and parental satisfaction with the vaccination procedure. Chi-squared tests were used for qualitative variables, relationships between quantitative variables were tested with Spearman correlations, and Mann–Whitney U or Student-t tests were employed to assess the relationship between quantitative and qualitative variables. 

Results: Compared to the controls, the children in the intervention group reported significantly less pain and fear, while parental satisfaction was significantly higher. Reported pain and fear did not differ according to the sex of the patient. Child age was not linked to fear but was related to pain: the younger the patient, the greater the pain they described. 

Conclusions: Immersive virtual reality effectively controlled pain and fear in children during vaccination and increased parent satisfaction with the vaccination process. Patient sex did not influence the level of pain and fear but age did. 

Relevance to clinical practice: Improving vaccination experiences can reduce perceived pain and fear in children and increase parent satisfaction, thereby enhancing vaccination schedule adherence and improving group immunity.

title: PERCEIVED EFFECT OF AWARENESS AND USE OF OPEN ACCESS JOURNALS BY LIBRARY USERS FOR RESEARCH EFFICIENCY IN MARGARET LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY, DELTA STATE, NIGERIA

description: The purpose of the present study was to examine the perceived effect of awareness and use of open access journals by library users on research efficiency at Margaret Lawrence University. Three hundred and twenty-nine library (329) users were selected for the study. A specifically designed questionnaire was administered to gather information about the awareness and use of open access journals by library users for research efficiency at Margaret Lawrence University. The collected data were analyzed using the mean () and standard deviation (SD) to answer research questions. The results revealed that library users at MLU are much aware of open access journals and, to a high extent, use open access journals. The study also revealed that MLU library users face a lot of challenges in using open-access journals to promote their research efficiency. It was then recommended that there is a need to accept and acclimate to the changing model of scholarly communication with particular reference to open access journals, and university management should support library users by developing an intrinsic drive for knowledge creation and publishing research output through internet subscriptions for use of open access journals.

title: Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Skills Possessed by Reference Librarians for Service Delivery in Universities in Nasarawa State, Nigeria

description: The study investigated information and communication technology (ICT) skills possessed by
reference librarians for service delivery in universities in Nasarawa State, Nigeria. Two specific
objectives with corresponding research questions guided the study. The study adopted a
descriptive survey research design. The target population for this study was 150 library staff at
the three universities under study. The sample size of 150 library staff from the three universities
under study was used. The instrument for data collection is a questionnaire. The reliability of the
questionnaire was established using the Cronbach's alpha method, and a reliability coefficient of
0.83 was obtained. The collected data was analyzed using frequency counts, percentages, means,
and standard deviation. Findings of the study revealed that the basic ICT skills possessed by
reference librarians for service delivery in universities in Nasarawa State, Nigeria, include:
computer booting and shooting down skills; typing skills; copying and pasting skills; printing
skills; scanning skills; photocopying skills; skills to create folders; and skills to format
documents, among others. The study also revealed that the intermediate ICT skills possessed by
reference librarians for service delivery are: internet skills, search engine skills, database
creation skills, file uploading skills, downloading skills, e-mail sending skills, SMS sending
skills, Facebook usage skills, WhatsApp usage skills, Instagram usage skills, Twitter usage skills,
video conferencing skills, and online chatting skills. The university library management, in
collaboration with university authorities, should create avenues for annual training and
retraining of their librarians so as to hone their skills; and, as well, keep abreast of recent
advances in ICTs. The university management and library management should make
demonstrated competence in ICTs a principal criterion for employment and promotion of
reference librarians, as this will encourage self-development in ICT skills acquisition.

ABSTRACT
Study Purpose: The study aims to examine the stage of implementation of e-libraries initiativesand their challenges in Nigerian higher educational institutions in the 21st Century. The specific objectives of the study were to explore the level of functionality of e-libraries and their challenges in academic libraries.

Methodology: Thework adopted a literature-based approach to examine the stage of implementation of E-libraries and its challenges in Nigerian higher education institutions in the 21st century. From a careful review literature, the study denotes the level of e-libraries implementations in Nigeria's higher institutions.
Findings: Findings from the study revealed thate-libraries improve the credence of library services and operation in the academic environment as they enhance collaboration among academics globally surmounting distance bearers. The study further shows that e-libraries inthe information era or knowledge society have revolutionizedlibrarians and their servicesfrom the analog way of thinking to a more proactive one with less time demanded in addressing institutional needs.Inadequate funding, poor maintenance culture, poor infrastructure, digitization of contents, poor staff development, and lackof recognition of library worth are the challenges associated with the implementation of e-libraries in Nigerian institutions. 

Implications:The findings of the study can be used to improve and solve the challenges of poor implementations of e-libraries in the higher educational systems of the nation. As ifnothing is done to leverage the potential of e-libraries and other advanced smart technologies in deploying their operations and services in this era compared to the counterpart developed countries, the Nigeria libraries may become a shadow of its reflection as the knowledge bank for wealth creation.

title: জ্যোতিরিন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুরের নাটকে জাতীয়তার প্রসঙ্গঃ বিশ্লেষণ ও পর্যালোচনা

description: জ্যোতিরিন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুরের নাটক—উনিশ শতকের লেখকদের প্রায় সবাই বিষয়বস্তুর জন্য দ্বারস্থ হয়েছেন ইতিহাসের। তখন কন্টার, স্টুয়ার্ট, জেমস টেড প্রমুখের ইতিহাস গ্রন্থ বাঙালি লেখক-পাঠক সমাজে বিশেষ জনপ্রিয়। প্রকৃতপক্ষ এইসব ইতিহাস গ্রন্থে ইতিহাসের চেয়েও বেশি ছিল লেখকদের ব্যক্তিগত আবেগ-অনুভূতির প্রকাশ। বাঙালি লেখকবৃন্দ তাদের ব্যক্তিগত মানস-প্রবণতার অনুসরণেই কেউ গ্রহণ করেছেন কন্টার আর কেউ বা জেমস টড। যেমন ভূদেব মুখােপাধ্যায় হিন্দু কলেজের ছাত্র থাকাকালে এক ইংরেজ শিক্ষকের হিন্দুদের স্বদেশানুরাগ নেই এমন উক্তিতে যারপরনাই ব্যথিত হন। এখানেই নিহিত ছিল তাঁর স্বদেশানুরাগের ভিত্তি যার প্রেরণা এই লেখকের পরবর্তীকালের সাহিত্যচর্চায় প্রভাব ফেলে। এজন্যই তিনি কন্টারের ‘দ্য মারহাট্টা চিফ’ গ্রন্থের শিবাজী চরিত্রের একনিষ্ঠ স্বদেশানুরাগের প্রাবল্য দ্বারা আকৃষ্ট হন এবং তাঁর ঐতিহাসিক উপন্যাসের বিষয় হিসেবে বেছে নেন কন্টারের ইতিহাস গ্রন্থ।

অনুরূপভাবে বঙ্কিমচন্দ্রের মানস অভিরুচি তাঁকে টডের ইতিহাস গ্রন্থ অনুসরণের প্রেরণা দিয়েছে। টডের গ্রন্থে আছে রাজপুত জাতির বীরত্ব গাথা। রাজপুত জাতি শুধুমাত্র হিন্দুধর্মাবলম্বী বলেই অন্যান্য স্বাতন্ত্র্য সত্ত্বেও তার কাছে আদৃত। বঙ্কিমচন্দ্রের তীর স্বজাতি প্রেমই হিন্দুদের মহিমা কীর্তনের অনুষঙ্গে মুসলমানদের প্রতিপক্ষ হিসেবে দাঁড় করিয়েছিল। তিনি জাতীয়তার প্রণে বাঙ্গালিত্বের চেয়েও হিন্দুত্বের ধারণাকেই গুরুত্ব দিয়েছেন অধিক—
‘When the creative writers of the country who were Hindus were on the looked for the past glories of the nation they insinetively turned to Rajput Maharatta and Sikh history in which examples of Hindu chivalry and heroism were to be found in abundance… There they learned how Hindus and Muhammadans fought for political supremacy nand retold the stories through their creative imagination.’
