From Impersonation to Sextortion: A Thematic Case Study of Cyber Enabled Sexual Harassment in Tamil Nadu
type: item
description: Cyber enabled sexual harassment and blackmail are often discussed as online nuisance or moral risk, yet victim narratives show a patterned escalation that produces intense psychological and social harm. This paper presents a qualitative single case study from a district in Tamil Nadu, drawn from a larger mixed methods doctoral study of cybercrime victimisation in three southern districts. Using a semi structured interview and thematic analysis, the case is analysed as an escalation pathway. The findings show seven linked stages, trust entry through impersonation cues, boundary testing and forced intimacy demands, escalation to sexual harassment and demands for explicit reciprocity, persistence through anonymity and repeated identity switching, evidence fragility linked to disappearing chats and restricted capture, coercion through reputational threat and blackmail, and coping through evidence workarounds and formal reporting. The case highlights how platform conditions can amplify harm by limiting evidence preservation at the point of crisis, and how low feedback during early complaint processing can prolong distress. The paper argues for a victim centred first response model that combines rapid evidence preservation guidance, platform cooperation for traceability and secure export, and trauma informed communication in cybercrime reporting pathways.

Power Generation, Transmission, and Distribution: Principles and Recent Developments
type: item
description: The electric power sector is undergoing a profound transformation driven by the rapid integration of renewable energy sources, widespread deployment of power electronic converters, and increasing digitalisation of power system operation. These changes are reshaping the traditional structure of power generation, transmission, and distribution networks, while introducing new technical and operational challenges related to system stability, protection, planning, and resilience. This review presents a comprehensive overview of the fundamental principles and recent developments across all major layers of modern power systems. Key advancements in renewable generation technologies, grid-forming inverters, energy storage systems, high-voltage direct current transmission, active distribution networks, and microgrids are systematically discussed. In addition, the growing role of digitalisation, artificial intelligence, and digital twin technologies in enhancing system observability, control, and decision-making is examined. The review further highlights emerging challenges in protection, transmission–distribution coordination, and resilience-oriented planning under high renewable penetration. Regulatory frameworks and grid codes are also considered in the context of supporting reliable and sustainable power system evolution. By synthesising recent research and identifying open challenges, this review provides valuable insights for researchers, system planners, and policymakers working toward the development of resilient, low-carbon, and intelligent power systems.

Ecological (Paradigm) Bhavna In Buddhism And Sustainability
type: item
description: Today’s growing environmental challenges have forced humanity to rethink its relationship with nature. Traditional wisdom, particularly from Buddhism, provides meaningful ways to develop a more balanced, compassionate, and sustainable lifestyle. This paper explores the Buddhist ecological paradigm, explaining its core ideas such as interdependence, non-violence, mindfulness, and the Middle Path, and how these teachings are relevant to sustainability today. It also examines modern environmental problems like climate change, pollution, and loss of biodiversity, and suggests Buddhist remedies to address these crises. The study concludes that Buddhist principles offer not just moral guidance, but also practical methods for creating a more sustainable and harmonious future.

The Three Fold Path Of Liberation (Moksha) In Indian Philosophies
type: item
description: Bondage in Indian philosophy means liability of an individual to birth and all the consequent sufferings while liberation (moksha) means complete end of sufferings. Perhaps the biggest thought in man’s search for happiness is the thought of liberation. All human beings always struggle for their existence on earth like all other conscious beings. However, the lower beings always struggle almost blindly without any fixed plan and purpose. They are motivated by instinct. On the other hand, man uses his intellect to understand the situations and meaning of that struggle and try to find out the plans and instruments to ensure their success in his life. They wish to lead their life in the light of their knowledge of themselves and the world. Hence, this paper represents an attempt to discuss the philosophical and practical aspects of liberation (Moksha) in the Gita and other Indian philosophies especially with reference to the threefold path which lead to attain liberation (moksha) by individuals.

Identity Faith And The Constitution: Negotiating Religious Freedom In Contemporary India
type: item
description: Religion and faith in modern India are the subject of this study. Instead of aiming to separate religion from state power, it investigates how the Constitution does so. A political science perspective is used to explore how religious beliefs affect political involvement, voting behavior, governance, and public discourse in India. The public considers the Constitution as a democratic framework that controls religious expression rather than a codification of laws. Examining major political events like the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), Sabarimala, and Ayodhya, the study shows how faith-based issues are exploited for political reasons and to mobilize large numbers of people. It shows how Hindutva has become a major intellectual movement that impacts state symbols, voting patterns, and policy by blending religious and nationalist ideals. The political effects of court rulings on power, public narratives, and majority-minority relations are analyzed. Religious issues are more than private or legal; they affect India's politics. Queer rights, citizenship, social inclusion, and faith-based politics affect these issues. The majority's political practices and non-religious people's democratic ambitions are always at odds. The paper contends that religion as a dynamic political factor in constitutional governance and modern power structures is necessary to comprehend Indian democracy.

Women In Local Self-Government: A Rural Perspective
type: item
description: Women’s participation in rural administration involves their active engagement in leadership, governance, and decision-making at the village and local levels. This involvement is essential for promoting inclusive development, social equity, and effective grassroots democracy. In rural areas, Local Self-Government (LSG) institutions play a critical role in managing day-to-day affairs, as decisions made at this level directly influence the provision of essential services and the overall well-being of the community.

Manasika Bhāvas and Lifestyle Stress: An Integrative Ayurvedic Review
type: item
description: Lifestyle stress has emerged as one of the most significant determinants of disease burden in the modern world, contributing to a wide spectrum of disorders ranging from anxiety, depression, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, autoimmune diseases, and functional gastrointestinal disorders. Contemporary biomedical science explains stress primarily through neuroendocrine, autonomic, and inflammatory pathways. In contrast, Ayurveda offers a comprehensive psychosomatic framework grounded in the concept of Manasika Bhāvas (mental and emotional states), which influence Doṣa, Agni, and Dhātu functions. Classical Ayurvedic literature recognizes emotional stress as a primary cause of disease and classifies stress-induced disorders as Adhija Vyādhi. This review integrates classical Ayurvedic doctrines with contemporary research in psychosomatic medicine, neuroimmunology, and mind–body medicine to elucidate the role of Manasika Bhāvas in lifestyle stress and its management. Ayurvedic therapeutic principles such as Sattvāvajaya Chikitsā, Āchāra Rasāyana, Daivavyapāśraya, Panchakarma, and Medhya Rasāyana are critically examined in light of modern evidence. This integrative approach provides a scientifically coherent and clinically relevant framework for addressing lifestyle stress and psychosomatic disorders.

The Role of Humour in Nursing Education
type: item
description: Homour is recognized as a dynamic pedagogical strategy that can reduce anxiety, promote engagement, enhance memory retention, and foster positive classroom environments. Despite global literature on its effectiveness, limited research exists on its application and impact within nursing education in India, particularly in Uttar Pradesh. Objective: To explore the role of Homour in nursing education and its influence on student motivation, understanding, and class participation. Methods: A descriptive mixed‑methods study was conducted among 150 nursing students and 12 nursing faculty from three nursing colleges in Uttar Pradesh. Data were collected using standardized questionnaires, focus group discussions, and classroom observations. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative data followed thematic analysis. Results: Homour was found to significantly enhance student engagement (p < 0.01), reduce educational stress, and improve retention of complex nursing concepts. Three major themes emerged: (1) Homour as a learning facilitator, (2) Homour and student–teacher rapport, and (3) Contextual challenges in academic application. Conclusion: Homour is a valuable educational strategy in nursing training. Its intentional and culturally sensitive use enhances learning outcomes and should be integrated systematically into nursing curricula.

Computer-Vision Framework for Automated Analysis of Animal Movement Ecology
type: item
description: This research paper introduces a new computer-vision system that can be deployed to automatize animal movement ecology. With the help of the development of high-resolution video capture (camera-traps and drone shots) and cutting-edge object-detection and motion-tracking algorithms, the framework transforms raw images into rich trajectories and conventional movement measures (e.g., stride length, turning angle, displacement). The method was tested on a semi-natural reserve, with the video of medium-sized terrestrial mammals passed through a modular pipeline that included object detection (fine-tuned Mask -CNN), multi-object tracking (adapted sort algorithm) and geo-referenced trajectory extraction. The use of performance evaluation showed that detecting performance was 0.91 with 0.88 recall (identity-switch rate 0.07/1,000 frames), a trajectory root-mean-square error of 1.42m over manual annotated paths. It took less time by approximately 85 percent compared to manual procedures on annotation.

“Resisting the Raj: A Brief Critical Analysis of Indigenous Movements and Their Role in Shaping Colonial Policy Reforms in 19th Century India”
type: item
description: The nineteenth century witnessed a series of indigenous resistance movements across India that significantly challenged the authority and legitimacy of the British Raj. These movements ranging from localized peasant protests to regionally coordinated tribal and agrarian uprisings emerged primarily as responses to exploitative colonial policies, oppressive revenue systems, and the erosion of traditional socio-political institutions. This study critically examines the nature, leadership patterns, socio-economic motivations, and regional diversities of these indigenous movements, with a focus on how their persistent resistance compelled the colonial state to re-evaluate and modify its administrative and policy frameworks. Through an interdisciplinary approach that integrates archival sources, historiographical debates, and subaltern perspectives, the paper argues that these resistances were not isolated or spontaneous outbursts, but constituted coherent political expressions that shaped the trajectory of colonial governance. By analysing key uprisings such as the Santhal Rebellion, Indigo Revolt, Phulguri Peasant uprising and Patharughat movements, and other localized revolts, the study reveals how indigenous agency acted as a catalyst for colonial reforms, including revisions in land revenue policies, policing systems, and agrarian administration. Ultimately, the paper repositions indigenous resistance as a crucial force in the making of modern colonial policy in India and highlights its long-term implications for nationalist discourse.

Formulation Development and Evaluation of Deferasirox dispersible tablets
type: item
description: Formulation development and evaluation of Deferasirox dispersible tablets focuses on designing a patient-friendly, orally administrable dosage form that ensures rapid dispersion, enhanced palatability, and consistent bioavailability. Deferasirox, a poorly water-soluble iron-chelating agent, requires formulation strategies such as the use of suitable superdisintegrants, wet granulation techniques, and solubilizing agents to improve its dissolution profile. The development process typically involves optimization of tablet hardness, friability, disintegration time, and uniformity of drug content to achieve robust mechanical strength while maintaining fast dispersion in water. Evaluation studies further include in-vitro dissolution testing, compatibility assessments, and stability studies to ensure long-term product performance. Overall, well-designed Deferasirox dispersible tablets provide an effective and convenient therapeutic option for pediatric and geriatric patients requiring chronic iron chelation therapy. The objective of the current study was to development optimize a oral disintegration tablets. Deferasirox is a rationally designed oral Iron chelator.

Attitude of Teachers towards the Need for Developing Life Skills among Secondary School Students
type: item
description: The term, “Life Skills” refers to a group of interpersonal skills, which can help an individual to make important decisions in life. Beyond reading, writing and arithmetic, a child needs to develop a broad set of competencies - cognitive, social and practical skills to face the challenges of the competitive world confidently. Life skills are the abilities for adaptive and positive behavior that enable individuals to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life.

Growing Industrialization and Management of Water Resources in India
type: item
description: Water is an essential element of life on Earth and is critical to all aspects of development. The principles related to water and development serve as a guide to achieving environmental, social and economic balance. India has undergone economic liberalization since 1991, and this has indeed accelerated the pace of industrialization. During these years, there has been a significant increase in the industrial sector, rapid expansion of urban areas, and the emergence of new industries, service sectors, and manufacturing hubs. While this industrial boom has certainly boosted the country's economic progress, it has also had its environmental and social impacts. A major problem is the stress on water resources. The decline in surface water availability, increased exploitation of tributaries, and pollution of rivers and reservoirs have led to uneven water availability. The increasing demand for water from industries, urban centres, and industrial clusters has increased the pressure on these important resources. Industrial activities in sectors such as textiles, chemicals, power generation and manufacturing are major contributors to problems such as wastewater discharge, salinity and thermal pollution. The increasing demand for industrial water, coupled with challenges in wastewater management and increasing water pollution have led to overuse and contamination of our water resources. For example, waste from chemical industries has significantly damaged water quality. In response, various policy and technical measures have been devised. Initiatives such as water conservation, rainwater harvesting, water reuse, water distribution management, and improvements in industrial water management have helped to some extent. Managing water resources in the future calls for a comprehensive, well-coordinated approach that fits the specific needs of each region. This means getting local communities involved, leveraging technology effectively, using natural methods, and planning strategi…

A Comparative Study Of Marital Adjustment Among Love And Arranged Marriage Couples
type: item
description: The present study aimed to compare the marital adjustment between love and arranged marriage couples across the dimensions of emotional, sexual, and social adjustment. The sample consisted of 100 married individuals (50 couples), The sample consisted of 50 couples, including 25 love-marriage couples and 25 arranged-marriage couples, selected from the Jalna district of Maharashtra using a purposive sampling method. The Marital Adjustment Questionnaire (MAQ) by Dr. Pramod Kumar and Dr. Kanchan Rohatgi (1999) was administered to assess marital adjustment. Results revealed that love marriage couples exhibited significantly higher emotional, social, and overall marital adjustment compared to arranged marriage couples, whereas arranged marriage couples showed better sexual adjustment. These findings suggest that emotional familiarity, mutual understanding, and pre-marital compatibility contribute to higher adjustment in love marriages, while traditional values and commitment enhance sexual harmony in arranged marriages. The study highlights the evolving dynamics of marital relationships in modern Indian society.

GONDI PAINTING: A CULTURAL AND AESTHETIC LEGACY OF THE GOND TRIBE
type: item
description: Gondi painting, a significant part of the Gond tribe’s cultural heritage, has gained global recognition due to its lively depictions of nature, folklore, and mythology. However, despite its artistic acclaim, the artists in Patangarh, Madhya Pradesh face numerous challenges related to poverty, lack of market access, and exploitation by intermediaries. Originating from the central regions of India, this folk art employs intricate lines, dots, and vivid colors to depict myths, folklore, and the symbiotic relationship between humans and the environment. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Gondi painting serves as a visual narrative of tribal beliefs, social values, and ecological wisdom passed down through generations. The contemporary revival of Gondi art has not only preserved its traditional essence but also positioned it as a significant form of cultural identity and sustainable livelihood for tribal communities. The research draws upon ethnographic studies, historical accounts, and artistic analyses to underscore the significance of Gondi painting in preserving tribal identity and offering livelihoods.

Underwater Drones In The Russia–Ukraine War: A Quantitative Analysis Of Impact On Military Strategy Using Defence Sem Model
type: item
description: This study employs defence Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to quantitatively assess the strategic impact of low-cost, asymmetrical maritime drone warfare during the 2022–2024 Russia–Ukraine War. Specifically, we investigate the mediating role of Asymmetric Deterrence (LDeter​) on the relationship between Uncrewed Underwater Vehicle (UUV) Operational Effectiveness (LEff​) and the observable Military Strategy Shift (LShift​) by the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Using time-series data derived from Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) and expert elicitation across eight manifest variables (cost-efficiency ratio, fleet redeployment percentage), the analysis tests the hypothesis that high operational effectiveness in UUV attacks compels a measurable, high-cost doctrinal and strategic adaptation by the adversary. The findings demonstrate a strong, significant path coefficient (β=0.78, p<0.001) linking Asymmetric Deterrence to the Strategy Shift, providing quantitative support for the thesis that autonomous, low-cost systems can fundamentally destabilise established naval power balances. This research offers a novel methodological framework for analysing technology-driven changes in modern military doctrine.

Financial Feasibility and Risk Analysis of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations in Bangalore: A Multi-Scenario Assessment
type: item
description: The rapid urbanization and advanced technology adoption in Bangalore make it a crucial node in India’s EV transition, driving demand for public and semi-public charging infrastructure. This study presents a detailed financial feasibility assessment and risk analysis for investments in EV charging stations across the Bangalore Metropolitan Region. Using three archetypal station models (high-speed highway, mixed urban public, and fleet depot), we develop multi-scenario financial models over a 7-year lifecycle. We quantify sensitivity of viability to utilisation levels, energy cost, demand growth, and regulatory parameters, and identify break-even thresholds and key risks. We propose mitigation strategies (e.g. time-of-use tariffs, location diversification, smart charging) and provide guidelines for optimal charger mix and site selection. Our results indicate that while long-term IRRs may be attractive under optimistic adoption trajectories, the early years are fraught with financial risk—making careful demand forecasting, site selection, and policy support indispensable for success.

A Study on the Effectiveness of Government Credit Initiative in Promoting Business Development in Bihar
type: item
description: This study looks into how well government loan programs in Bihar, India, support the development and expansion of entrepreneurship. Four goals guide the research: assessing entrepreneurs' awareness and accessibility of government credit programs; analysing their influence on business growth; comparing the performance of beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries; and analysing beneficiary satisfaction and utilization challenges. 264 entrepreneurs participated in a quantitative survey, and data were analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM), chi-square tests, t-tests, and descriptive statistics. The results show that although there is a moderate level of awareness regarding government loan programs, recipients report more growth and financial stability than non-recipients. But issues including lack of follow-up support, limited outreach, procedural delays, continue to be major problems. The report emphasizes that although loan programs are essential for fostering entrepreneurial success, their full potential is constrained by gaps in outreach and implementation. The results add to body of knowledge on financial inclusion and the growth of SME’s and offer policy suggestions for improving the availability, sufficiency, and the application of government lending programs.

A Comprehensive Review On The Thermal Conductivity Of Materials: Mechanisms, Measurement Techniques, And Applications
type: item
description: With an emphasis on atomic structure, bonding, defect concentration, and microstructural features, this article investigates the variables affecting heat conductivity in metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites. The features of heat transfer, such as temperature, pressure, and material phase changes, are also examined. In metals, thermal conductivity is controlled by electron mobility, but in ceramics and polymers, it is determined by phonon interactions and molecular structure. Additionally covered in the review are experimental and computational approaches to measuring and forecasting thermal conductivity, such as transient or non-steady-state technologies like laser flash and transient hot-wire methods, as well as steady-state approaches like guarded hot plate and heat flow meter measurements. The benefits and drawbacks of each strategy, as well as how well they work with various materials, are also covered in the article. Heat conductivity has been improved using novel materials engineering approaches, including graphene, nanoparticles, nanowires, and composites containing phase-change components or high-conductivity fillers. Electronic heat sinks, thermal interface materials, highperformance computer systems, thermal barrier coatings, cryogenic storage, and energy-efficient architectural designs are some examples of the practical uses for materials with high and low heat conductivity. This research contributes significantly to clean energy, sustainable infrastructure, energy-efficient buildings, and climate resilience, aligning with global sustainability efforts.
