 Abstract

Today Empowerment of girls is not a new term. The term Empowerment is a multidimensional concept which helps to take decisions by own, to become economically stable, having a positive problem solving approach etc., but undoubtedly it is very important for adolescent girls because it is the most vital sages of their life period and during this period they have to face many challenges. To overcome these challenges and to become stable and strong for the future, empowerment of adolescent girls is very relevant and necessary. Empowerment will make girls self-sufficient and they can participate equally in the community.

Second language acquisition (SLA) is not just a cognitive and linguistic competence but also entails emotional, social, and psychological facets. Emotional Intelligence (EI), or the ability to recognize, regulate, and utilize emotions to navigate personal and social situations effectively, has become an important determinant of SLA success. This paper discusses the relevance of EI in SLA by investigating its application in promoting motivation, minimizing language anxiety, encouraging learner autonomy, and facilitating interpersonal communication. In a critical discussion of existing literature and empirical research, the paper discusses how emotionally intelligent learners manage linguistic difficulties more effectively and preserve resilience when dealing with linguistic and cultural obstacles. The article also discusses theoretical models connecting EI and SLA, illustrating the multidimensionality of language acquisition. Finally, the conclusions indicate that EI cannot be considered peripheral but needs to be regarded as fundamental to successful second language acquisition, with significant implications for students, teachers, and curriculum planners.

Background: Deaths by ligation of neck are in practice from the time immemorial and before advent of civilization. In uncivilized societies, the application of ligation for taking away the life of another person was one of the commonest practices which were successfully carried out into the civilized societies. Hanging is that form of violent asphyxial death in which ligature marks are found and it is mainly based on the constricting forces which is : (i) either by the exclusion of air from lungs or oxygenated blood from the brain, (ii) by means of ligature around the neck, (iii) the constricting force is the weight of the body. Results: The data of present cross-sectional study of 100 cases with the aim, injuries over neck due to ligature was collected from in the Department of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology, Institute of Medical Science (IMS), BHU, Varanasi, U.P. India. The total duration of sampling was six months and different aspects such as sex ratio, age group involved, residence, ligature material used type of hanging, place of hanging, the Position of the knot and other external findings involved were taking under consideration. Conclusions: It was found that the most common cause of death in Varanasi region was Socio-economic Status of the victims with a male: female ratio of 1.8:1 with age group of 20- 29 years being most commonly involved.

 Abstract

The digital transformation of Indian agriculture has become a key strategy for addressing challenges such as low productivity, fragmented landholdings, supply chain inefficiencies, and climate variability. Emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, and big data analytics are reshaping farming practices, optimizing resource utilization, and enhancing supply chain transparency. This transformation is supported by government initiatives like AgriStack, eNAM (Electronic National Agriculture Market), and AI-driven climate advisories, which aim to improve market access, streamline supply chains, and support climate resilience strategies (Usenko et al., 2024). Despite these advancements, digital adoption in Indian agriculture faces significant barriers, including infrastructure deficits, digital illiteracy, high costs of technology, and regulatory challenges (Goswami et al., 2023). The lack of digital infrastructure in rural areas, combined with limited financial access for small-scale farmers, has slowed the implementation of smart agricultural solutions (Ashokkumar & Naik, 2021). However, integrating precision farming, blockchain for supply chain traceability, and AI-driven predictive analytics presents an opportunity to revolutionize the sector. This paper explores the key opportunities, challenges, and policy recommendations for scaling up digital transformation in Indian agriculture. It evaluates the role of government-led initiatives, agritech startups, and financial inclusion models in accelerating digital adoption. Recommendations focus on bridging the digital divide, enhancing digital literacy, improving access to financial resources, and fostering public-private partnerships (Tyagi & Kumar, 2020). The study concludes that a collaborative approach among stakeholders--including policymakers, researchers, and private sector players--will be essential to ensuring an inclusive, efficient, and sustainable digital agricultural ecosystem in India.

 Abstract

Architecture programs are widely recognized as some of the most challenging and rigorous academic disciplines, characterized by an intense studio-based learning culture, heavy workloads, and a highly competitive environment. These factors demand not only technical expertise but also exceptional time management, creativity, and resilience from students. In India, the impact of these challenges is compounded by additional societal and academic pressures, where students often face expectations for high achievement and the pressure to succeed in an intensely competitive job market. As a result, architecture students in India experience unique stressors that can profoundly affect their mental health and overall well-being. This paper delves into the various factors that influence student mental health in the context of Indian architecture programs, focusing specifically on the studio culture, the demands of workload, and the competitive atmosphere pervasive in these programs. It critically examines how these elements contribute to the stress, anxiety, and burnout often reported by architecture students. Furthermore, the study investigates the extent to which educational institutions are equipped to address these mental health challenges by providing adequate support systems, such as counseling services, peer support networks, and wellness programs. By analyzing the current landscape and proposing practical interventions, this paper aims to highlight the need for a more supportive and holistic approach to architecture education that fosters a healthier and more sustainable academic environment for students.

 Abstract

Persons with Intellectual Disability (PwID) face discrimination and excluded in most of the social activities due to their limitations in adaptive behaviour and intellectual functioning. A multi-disciplinary team should involve in a collaborative work to restore the maximum abilities of PwID. Due to lack of awareness among psychologist, may lead to ineffective multi-disciplinary team. It is essential to gain experience and knowledge about various disabilities, causes, characteristics features, intervention strategies, therapeutic services, and remedial teaching as the role of future psychologist is inevitable in the upliftment of the life of PwID. The objective of this study is to find out the awareness level among Undergraduate Psychology students about Intellectual Disability. Survey study under descriptive research design is employed to collect the existing facts about the awareness level of Undergraduates of Psychology programme. The results indicated that students need to gain in-depth information about Persons with Intellectual Disability to expand their skills and positively impact their career pursuits.

 Abstract

Arupa Patangia Kalita, a renowned Assamese writer, is celebrated for her socially engaged fiction that highlights the voices of marginalized women and ethnic minorities. Her novel, The Story of Felanee, originally written in Assamese and translated into English by Deepika Phukan, depicts the complex interplay of gender, identity, and exclusion in conflict-ridden Assam. This paper examines how Kalita's narrative focuses on the life of Felanee, a woman of mixed ethnic heritage, to illustrate the intersectional marginalization of gender, ethnicity, and class. Through a subaltern feminist lens, the study investigates how women are silenced or erased in nationalist and insurgent discourses, and how Kalita restores agency through narrative voice and communal solidarity. The novel acts as a counter-discourse to hegemonic representations of Assamese identity, challenging dominant historiographies.

 Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the way companies hire people by making it possible to automatically screen resumes, predict who will get the job, and assess behaviour. In addition to making things much more scalable and efficient, these new technologies also bring up significant ethical concerns, particularly the potential for algorithmic bias.This research presents a practical study on identifying and reducing bias in AI-powered recruitment systems.The research investigated how unfair decisions may occur due to bias in training data or decision-making models,especially with respect to sensitive attributes like gender.Using a dataset of resumes ,the system first detects bias and then applies three types of techniques to reduce it:before training (pre-processing),during model learning(in-processing) and after predictions(post-processing).Methods like Reweighing and Adversial Debiasing were used to improve fairness without significantly affecting accuracy.The fairness of the system was measured using metrics such as demographic parity difference and results showed that debiasing techniques can reduce discrimination in predictions. Additionally ,tools like LIME and SHAP were used to explain the model's decisions, helping users understand why certain resumes were favoured. This research supports the development of fair and transparent AI models for hiring.

 Abstract

Liver transplantation is a high-risk surgical procedure typically performed as a last resort to save patients' lives. The risk of complications arising from liver transplantation begins immediately after surgery and can persist for years thereafter. Rejection is the most serious and ongoing complication, which can potentially lead to the patient's death. This study aimed to assess the knowledge of staff nurses regarding complications and their management in liver transplantation patients and to determine the association between the knowledge levels with their selected demographic variables. To achieve this objective, a descriptive survey design was employed. A convenience sampling method was used to recruit 30 staff nurses, who participated in the study by completing a self-developed knowledge questionnaire. The data collected were subsequently analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The pre-test results revealed that 20% of the staff nurses possessed adequate knowledge, while 36.66% demonstrated a moderate level of knowledge, and 43.33% exhibited low knowledge levels. The study concluded that the staff nurses' knowledge scores were inadequate, highlighting the need for further research to investigate the variables and determinants influencing their perceptions. This would facilitate a deeper understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects of transplantation and aftercare.
