 Abstract

Samarendranath Pandey (1950s-80s) was a name that resonated with the common people. The man reached us via his fictional detective, Dipak Chatterjee, created under his pen name Swapan Kumar. The stories by him still remain a matter of 'dispute' in most Bengali households especially in an era dominated by Mass Media. Unlike other fictitious sleuths, Dipak was different in himself. Highly inspired by "westernized" culture. Swapan Kumar's tales were pathbreaking. It is no wonder that it found a place in the pulp fiction category. For the very first time, readers in Bengal witnessed a detective like Dipak. He was more of a super-hero than a common man. Swapan Kumar's tales were action-driven, not rooted in realistic investigation. It is through this paper that I have tried to paint the character of Dipak- kind of a Gen-Z sleuth in the light of contemporary society where people have already witnessed the craze of an 'Avengers', Marvel, DC superhero. The paper also examines the relevance and extent of his mass appeal in contemporary society.

Abstract Background Homeopathy is an individualized system of medicine practiced globally for more than two centuries. Despite its widespread clinical application, its integration into contemporary evidence-based healthcare remains a subject of ongoing academic debate. The evolving theme of "Advanced Research in Homeopathy" highlights the need to strengthen research frameworks that respect individualization while meeting modern scientific standards. Aim To analyse contemporary research trends in homeopathy and examine how clinical practice, research methodology, and physiological understanding can be integrated to advance evidence-based homeopathy. Objectives 1. To review current research methodologies applied in homeopathic studies 2. To evaluate limitations of conventional biomedical research designs in individualized systems 3. To explore emerging physiological and systems-based perspectives relevant to homeopathy 4. To identify future directions for advanced homeopathic research Materials and Methods This paper adopts a narrative review and conceptual analysis approach. Peer-reviewed journal articles, systematic reviews, policy documents, and standard textbooks related to homeopathy, evidence-based medicine, physiology, systems biology, and psychoneuroimmunology were reviewed. Literature was sourced through electronic databases and manual searches. The collected material was analysed thematically to identify prevailing research models, methodological challenges, physiological correlates, and research gaps relevant to advanced homeopathic research. Observations / Results The review identified increasing recognition of practice-based evidence, pragmatic trials, observational studies, and outcome-based clinical documentation as suitable research approaches for homeopathy. Conventional randomized controlled trials were found to have limitations in capturing individualized therapeutic responses. Advances in physiology--particularly systems biology and psychoneuroimmunology--provide conceptual frameworks supporting regulatory and adaptive models of therapeutic action. Lifestyle and chronic disorders emerged as key areas where homeopathic research demonstrates clinical relevance through patient-centered outcomes. Discussion Advanced research in homeopathy requires methodological pluralism rather than exclusive reliance on reductionist models. Integrating clinical experience with structured documentation and physiological insights may enhance scientific credibility without compromising homeopathic principles. Academic institutions play a crucial role in nurturing research literacy, ethical conduct, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Conclusion Advancing evidence-based homeopathy necessitates an integrative research paradigm that bridges clinical practice, methodological innovation, and contemporary physiological understanding. Such an approach can strengthen the scientific foundation of homeopathy and support its role in modern healthcare systems.

 Abstract

The history of India-Bangladesh relation is characterized by a rich legacy with mutual dependencies. The two Nations share deep economic, political and social interactions, as well as cultural and geographical proximity. India and Bangladesh share profound ties, grounded in a common history. Before the 1947 in the undivided India, Bangladesh was a part of the undivided Bengal Province. The partition split Bengal into India and Pakistan, forming West Pakistan, i.e now Pakistan and East Pakistan,i.e now Bangladesh.The India-Bangladesh relationship was defined mostly by the liberation war of 1971.India was front and Center in the Bangladesh independence movement against Pakistan.The war led to the establishment of Bangladesh as an independent country and strengthened bilateral relations. India went a step further when it not only recognized Bangladesh as a sovereign state but also provided military and humanitarian support and good will that has endured since. After the Independence, India and Bangladesh formed strong diplomatic relations which saw several landmark agreements.These harmonies have played an important role in sustaining cooperative relations,notably with respect to economic, cultural and security co-operation.However,the fragile relationship is jeopardized by the recent political upheaval in Bangladesh,which bears risks and complication for India.Bangladesh is engulfed in grave political,economic and social crisis which is also affecting its bilateral ties with India.

 Abstract

Indoor air pollution is a significant concern due to the accumulation of harmful pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), formaldehyde and carbon dioxide (CO?) in enclosed environments. This work presents the development of an eco-friendly air-purifying plaster, Aeroplast, formulated using eco wall plaster cement, hydrated lime, natural zeolite, and activated charcoal. The material is designed to passively improve indoor air quality through adsorption and chemical interaction without the need for external energy. Experimental evaluation included tests on workability, setting time, and compressive strength to determine overall performance. The Optimum Design Mix (ODM) exhibited a compressive strength of 6.12 MPa along with improved fresh properties and suitable setting characteristics. Pollution adsorption performance was assessed using a sealed chamber setup with IAQ tester, which indicated effective reduction of indoor pollutants. The developed plaster demonstrates good mechanical performance and pollutant adsorption capability, making it a sustainable and energy-efficient solution for improving indoor air quality in building applications.

Abstract Women have an important role in our culture. Welfare programs initiated by the government have been instrumental in promoting women's empowerment in India by tackling fundamental disparities in education, health, job opportunities, and social security. This paper examines the impact of key initiatives like as Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, Mahila E-Haat, Mahila Shakti Kendra and Kanyashree Prakalpa on enhancing women's socio-economic status. Drawing on secondary data sources including government reports, census statistics, and scholarly studies, the study evaluates improvements in female literacy, financial inclusion, entrepreneurship, health outcomes, and participation in decision-making processes. The findings suggest that conditional cash transfers, skill development programs, and livelihood support schemes have strengthened women's access to resources and opportunities. However, challenges like as regional disparities, implementation gaps, and socio-cultural barriers continue to limit the transformative potential of these schemes. This paper concludes that sustained policy commitment and grassroots awareness are essential to achieve inclusive and long-term empowerment of women in India.

 Abstract

The rapid adoption of digital technologies in Human Resource Management has transformed tradition-al HR functions such as recruitment, performance appraisal, and employee monitoring. While Digital Hu-man Resource Management (DHRM) enhances efficiency and data-driven decision-making, it also raises significant ethical concerns. This study aims to identify and examine the major ethical challenges associated with digital HR practices from an employee perspective. Adopting a descriptive and empirical research design, primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire from 120 respondents using digital HR systems. The study focuses on key ethical issues including data privacy, confidentiality, algorithmic bias, transparency in automated decision-making, and employee surveillance. Descriptive statistical tools such as percentage analysis, mean score analysis, and ranking methods were employed for data analysis. The findings reveal that data privacy and lack of transparency in digital HR decisions are perceived as the most critical ethical challenges. The study emphasizes the need for clear ethical guidelines, responsible use of HR technologies, and enhanced ethical awareness among HR professionals to ensure sustain-able digital HR practices.

 Abstract

Trauma, when left unaddressed, can significantly shape the psychological and behavioural patterns of an individual. There exists a strong interlink between trauma and masochism. Individuals exhibiting masochistic tendencies frequently have a traumatic childhood of neglect, abuse, and emotional detachment. This paper examines the unresolved trauma stemming from emotionally and physically abusive family dynamics and how it affects identity formation and relationships, with reference to Normal People. Focusing on the character of Marianne, this paper studies how her internalized trauma manifests as psychological masochism, leading her to find solace in toxic, abusive and self-effacing romantic relationships. By situating Marianne's experiences within psychoanalytic and trauma frameworks, the paper argues that her repeated submission to pain is not rooted in desire, but in an unconscious compulsion toward self-punishment and validation.
