 Abstract

Pregnancy initiates a profound transformation across a mother's entire body, bringing a cascade of physiological and hormonal adaptations. Among these changes, dermatological shifts--specifically the arrival of stretch marks--are incredibly common, affecting between 70% and 90% of pregnant women globally.

 Abstract

In today's world, technology plays a significant role in transforming the education system. Due to its advancement, pedagogical practices have been redefined. Blended learning is the new emerging pedagogical approach for all higher educational institutions of India. It maintains a harmonious relationship between the traditional approach and online education. In the Indian context, the most recent educational policy, NEP 2020, also highlights the importance of blended learning in higher educational institutions of India. This study aimed to understand the opportunities and challenges faced by higher educational institutions of India. To conduct this study, a review of literature technique has been chosen as a research methodology. The study was purely based on secondary data, collected from the databases, namely Google Scholar and ResearchGate. The findings of the study revealed that despite various opportunities, adopting blended learning in Indian higher educational institutions face various challenges like lack of proper infrastructure facilities, lack of digital competency of teachers, lack of adequate training and support etc. The study suggested that the government, policy-makers, administrators and course developers must work together for the successful implementation of blended learning in the Indian higher education system.

 Abstract

This paper presents a review of a voice-operated robotic vehicle designed to function through spoken commands using an Android-based application and a microcontroller. The system employs Bluetooth communication to establish a connection between the mobile application and the robot, enabling users to control its movements either through voice input or on-screen controls. The robotic movement is governed by a microcontroller interfaced with two DC servo motors. Instructions from the application are transmitted via Bluetooth, converted into digital signals, and processed by the controller to execute actions. The system operates effectively within an approximate range of 100 meters. The main objective of this project is to develop a robotic vehicle capable of performing specific tasks based on user voice commands. Initial configuration involves programming to ensure smooth and accurate functioning. This method enhances user interaction while improving overall operational performance and efficiency Keywords Robot, Design, Fabrication, Sensor, Automation, Voice-Controlled Robotic Vehicle..

 Abstract

This research seeks to examine the representation of non human animals in the works of Kiran Millwood Hargrave, critically acclaimed speculative fiction novel is the Geomancer Trilogy made up of In the Shadow of the Wolf Queen (2023), The Storm and the Sea Hawk (2024), and The Ship of Strays (2025). While going beyond the traditional confines of the biocentric 'zoo critic', where animals are caged and shown in individual instances of institutional captivity, attempts to see Hargrave's fictional world as a macrocosmic manifestation of human exceptionalism and ecological domination. By considering the commodification, imprisonment and enforced exhibition of animals like the noble sea wolves and free birds under the despotic control of the Wolf Queen, Hargrave disputes the Anthropocene era's quest to rob animals of their agency. With characters like Ysolda and her friend Nara the sea hawk and other animals onboard the Ship of Strays, the trilogy provides a redemptive eco-narrative that demonstrates an intrinsic ontological longing for freedom, bodily autonomy and ecological parity. Trilogy requires an end to the notion of animals being passive displays of power.

 Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the fashion consumption patterns of Generation Z in the digital era, focusing on the factors influencing purchasing decisions, brand preferences, digital engagement, sustainability concerns, and loyalty behaviors. The research aims to contribute to consumer behavior literature by exploring how digital technologies shape fashion consumption and how fashion brands can effectively engage this influential demographic. Findings: The findings suggest that this cohort group indulges in short-form video content more than any other format. Their fashion consumption is influenced by the reels they see on Instagram. Originality: This research has explored consumer behavior, online shopping, and fashion trends separately, this study integrates these dimensions to provide a holistic understanding of how digital technologies influence fashion consumption among Gen Z consumers.

 Abstract

Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP) is a flagship initiative under NEP2020 in the field of Teacher education in India. It is a four-year integrated dual major undergraduate programme that allows the students to receive a Bachelor degree in Education (B.Ed.) along with a major bachelor's degree (B.A./B.Sc./B.Com.) in a chosen disciplinary/inter-disciplinary subject at the same time. The programme is designed keeping in consideration the long-standing issues in the field of teacher education for its inadequate importance on disciplinary knowledge and most importantly its lack of integration with pedagogical, practical and professional competencies. In this paper, the investigator made an effort to discuss the main features of integrated teacher education programme along with its key benefits. The study is completely based on Secondary data collected from available books, journals, official documents, websites etc.

 Abstract

This paper presents a structured framework for integrating Computational Thinking (CT) and AI Readiness into middle school biology classrooms (Classes 6-8). The Bio-CT-AI Framework is a three-phase pedagogical model: Phase 1--Computational Thinking through biology (Decomposition, Pattern Recognition, Abstraction, Algorithmic Thinking); Phase 2--AI-Assisted Inquiry using Google Lens and ChatGPT; and Phase 3--Reflection and Evaluation through comparison of AI outputs with textbook knowledge. Over five weeks, 328 students participated in batch-wise activities. Post-intervention data showed 82% proficiency in writing sequential steps (+48%), 88% in pattern recognition (+47%), and 79% able to explain AI bias (+67%). The framework is unplugged for Classes 6 and 7, with hands-on AI tools introduced in Class 8. Results demonstrate that AI readiness in schools should extend beyond tool usage to developing the thinking processes required to engage with AI meaningfully and ethically. The model offers a scalable, low-cost approach (INR0.61 per student) for preparing middle school learners for an AI-driven world.

 Abstract

Rabindranath Tagore narrated inner conflicts, moral issues, family and societal relationship of men instead of portraying them as one dimensional figure. Short stories by Tagore display male character as social beings influenced by complex tradition, emotion and evolutionary processes. These characters narrate broader societal structures during colonial periods in Bengal predominated by issues like patriarchy, hierarchy, nationalism, movement for modernity among others. In present study, it is attempted to examine important male characters from short stories like Bhupati in Nashtanirh, Ramsundar in Dena Paona, Gaurishankar in Haimanti and few other characters. Each character in respective stories displayed unique psychological and societal dimensions. The helplessness of a father trapped in dowry system due to economic inequalities is highlighted male character Ramsundar. While character Bhupati reflects intellectual idealism leading to emotional issues and domestic breakdown. Influence of intellectual and philosophical ideals of fatherhood are reflected through the character Gaurishankar in Haimanti. Tagore critiques the then rigid social systems and customs as major catalysts for the tension between tradition and modernity. He highlights such rigid systems as major contributors for emotional degeneration among human bonding. Most of these characters exhibit moral confusion, social isolation including tragic self-realization highlighting limitations of societal expectations and ambition of men. Very often, Tagore emphasised, need for awareness on moral values, empathy and human interconnectedness for societal development. Thus, male characters in Tagore's stories are symbolic representations of contradictions and strength in the society instead of a mere individual. These characters also provide deep insights into psychological and societal scenarios of Bengal during early twentieth century
