 Abstract

Mobility is a basic skill that enables blind persons to achieve independence, confidence, and professional excellence. In the field of physiotherapy--where analyzing movement, interaction to patient, and spatial understanding are main--mobility training plays a life changing role. This article explores how orientation and mobility empower blind individuals to outstand in physiotherapy, enhance patient care, and overcome professional hurdles. It points up the need for structured mobility programs in physiotherapy education to create inclusive opportunities and makes clear perceptions of ability.

 Abstract

Dhanuyatra of Bargarh is the oldest and the most famous one. Every year in the month of Pausa (December-January) it is celebrated for eleven days of the month from the 5th day of the bright fortnight till the full moon day. For this occasion, the town of Bargarh becomes the city of Mathura, the river Jeera becomes the river Yamuna and Ambapali situated on the other side of Jeera becomes Gopapura. For eleven days the entire Bargarh town transformed into a very big stage even though the story of Kansa, his ill-treatment to Krushna and his death are enacted in 14 main places at Mathura and 4 main places in Gopa. This mass festival, which came into existence in 1948 with the inertia of festive mood due to celebration of Indian Independence and victory over British rule, symbolically shows the victory of Lord Krishna, the embodiment of truth, justice and righteousness over Kansa who personifies arrogance and wickedness. This festival has earned its fame in the World as much due to the separate stage along with movable stage used to show the mythological story as also due to the special involvement of the entire populace in the process. Therefore, this festival is rightly called the greatest play in the world enacted in the biggest open-air theatre.

 Abstract

The global manufacturing sector is in the process of a paradigm shift towards sustainability and the need to integrate green programs in the Human Resource Management (HRM) systems. The paper is a systematic review of the development of Sustainable Human Resource Management (SHRM) and Green Human Resource Management (GHRM), and their applications in the manufacturing industry, and their performance that applies to the emerging industrial centres like Pune in India. Based on extensive empirical and theoretical research in 2015-23, the review points out several practices, including green recruitment, environmental training, green performance management, and green intellectual capital, which are identified as the most valuable practices to facilitate sustainable organisational performance. The synergies between SHRM and Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) and Industry 4.0 practices are also discussed as with regard to methodological novelty, the fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making techniques are identified as methods of SHRM evaluation. Such research gaps as the small number of regionalised studies, the lack of combined models, and the under-researched employee-level effects are the key ones. The paper ends with recommendations about further research and policy, stating the necessity of local systems, leadership involvement, and the overall sustainability approaches in the manufacturing industry.

 Abstract

The Indian automobile sector plays a pivotal role in the country's manufacturing output, employment generation and technological progress. However, the sector has experienced significant structural and operational changes during the post-pandemic period, influenced by supply chain disruptions, rising input costs, regulatory transitions, and the progressive shift toward electric mobility. This study evaluates the financial efficiency of selected automobile companies listed on the BSE across three major segments: commercial vehicles, passenger cars & multi-utility vehicles, and two & three wheelers. The analysis covers a five-year period from 2020-21 to 2024-25, employing key asset utilisation ratios including Total Assets Turnover, Fixed Assets Turnover, Working Capital Turnover, Inventory Turnover and Debtors Turnover. Descriptive statistics (Mean, Standard Deviation, and Coefficient of Variation), Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) and ANOVA are applied to assess performance variations between companies and across years. The results reveal significant inter-company differences in Total Assets Turnover, Fixed Assets Turnover, Inventory Turnover and Debtors Turnover, indicating varied strategic approaches to asset use, production scale, and credit policies. However, Working Capital Turnover exhibited no significant differences across companies or time periods, suggesting sector-wide stabilization in cash conversion cycles. Passenger car manufacturers demonstrated the highest efficiency in asset utilisation, while two & three-wheeler firms showed stronger productivity in fixed asset use. The study concludes with targeted managerial recommendations for improving capital productivity, working capital governance, and operational efficiency.

 Abstract

Collagen therapy has emerged as an effective adjunct in the management of acute and chronic wounds. As a key structural protein in the extracellular matrix, collagen plays a vital role in tissue repair, cellular migration, and angiogenesis. The use of collagen-based dressings and therapeutic formulations provides a bioactive environment that supports natural healing mechanisms. This therapy demonstrates a constructive influence on wound healing, enhancing moisture balance, reducing inflammation, and promoting granulation tissue formation. Clinical observations indicate that collagen therapy significantly accelerates the recovery period, particularly in non-healing or slow-healing wounds. Overall, collagen therapy represents a promising and biologically compatible approach to achieving faster and more efficient wound recovery

ABSTRACT The development of tourism in Meghalaya, India, has led to a significant increase in solid waste generation, posing a major threat to the state's environmental sustainability. The lack of individual or societal respect towards the environment, coupled with inadequate waste management practices, has resulted in rampant littering and pollution in tourist areas which negatively impact the environment and the local communities as well. This study aims to analyze the current practices of solid waste management in tourism areas of Meghalaya and identify the challenges and opportunities for sustainable solid waste management. The study also aims to develop a framework for effective waste management that integrates stakeholder engagement, waste reduction, and recycling strategies to maintain cleanliness and hygiene in tourist areas. This study critically examines the implementation of the Solid Waste Management (SWM) Rules, 2016 in prominent tourist destinations across the state, focusing on compliance levels, operational challenges, and environmental consequences. The study contributes to the discourse on sustainable waste management in tourism spot by offering actionable insights for policy reform and participatory governance in Meghalaya's tourism sector.

In celebration of the International Year of Cooperatives 2025, which recognizes the enduring power of cooperatives in building a better world, this study examines the transformative role of women-led cooperative societies in fostering financial inclusion and enhancing rural livelihoods. Cooperatives are increasingly acknowledged as inclusive economic models that empower marginalized communities, especially women, by facilitating access to credit, encouraging savings, and nurturing grassroots development. This research focuses on the Milan Mahila Saving and Credit Cooperative Society Ltd, founded in 2017 in Maliya, a taluka in Morbi district, Gujarat, characterized by low literacy and income levels. Drawing on primary survey data from both members and non-members, as well as cooperative financial records, the study highlights the cooperative's significant impact on improving credit accessibility, promoting savings behavior, boosting income-generating activities, and advancing women's empowerment. The findings underscore the relevance of cooperatives as vehicles for inclusive growth, aligning with the global vision of IYC-2025 to promote equity, resilience, and sustainable development through cooperative action.

 Abstract

Tamil Words are divided into two types based on literature and grammar. Words based on literature are called Eyarchol, Thisaichol, Thirichol, Vadachol. Words based on grammar are called Noun, Verb, Interjection and Adjective. Of these, noun and verb have the ability to function independently. Interjection and adjective do not have the ability to function independently and function depending on the noun and verb. Tolkappiyam clearly explains the grammar and types of interjections. The occurrence pattern of most interjections can be seen in Sangam literature. Moreover, we can identify many interjections that are not known through the commentary of the commentators. In this way, the scope of the study is to explain the occurrence pattern of interjections found in the commentary of U.V.Sa, who wrote the Kurunthokai and Ayngurunooru.

 Abstract

Oral cancer remains a significant global health challenge, with late-stage diagnosis contributing to poor prognosis. Salivary biomarkers have emerged as a promising non-invasive alternative for early detection, diagnosis, and prognostic assessment. Saliva directly reflects the tumor microenvironment and contains a diverse array of molecules, including proteins, enzymes, cytokines, growth factors, DNA, RNA, and microRNAs. Studies have consistently reported elevated levels of IL-6, IL-8, TNF-?, MMP-9, VEGF, and miRNA-21 in oral squamous cell carcinoma, with combinations of multiple biomarkers enhancing diagnostic accuracy. Despite promising evidence, clinical adoption is limited by variability, lack of standardized protocols, and the need for multicenter validation. Integration of salivary biomarker panels could facilitate non-invasive screening, personalized management, and improved outcomes in oral cancer care.
