 Abstract

MGNREGS is the largest make-work programme ever launched in the world. The Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India is giving priority treatment to MGNREGS, considering the role it has been playing in transforming rural lives. Both Central and State Governments give due consider-ation to the scheme, rather than any other rural development schemes. Considering the socio-economic and political structure of Kerala, MGNREGS has enormous scope in reaching out to the poor and in executing better quality works appropriate for natural resource management and sus-tainable development. Better planning of works, time-bound completion and efficiency of works to a large extent depends upon the active participation and involvement of the beneficiaries in various processes of the scheme implementation. Therefore, this paper focuses on the determinants of satis-faction of MGNREGS beneficiaries in different facets of work implementation aspects of MGNREGS in Kerala using primary data collected from different regions of the state through field survey. The study revealed that the satisfaction of beneficiaries is mainly based on the benefit itself and not on the other specifications of MGNREGS

 Abstract

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are potentially significant determinants of psychological adjustment and well-being across the life course. Experiences of abuse, neglect, household dysfunction, and other forms of childhood adversity may influence emotional functioning and quality of life during young adulthood. However, individuals exposed to similar adverse experiences may demonstrate different patterns of psychological adaptation. Emotion regulation and post-traumatic growth may represent important psychological processes that contribute to such differences. The present study aims to examine the relationship between adverse childhood experiences, emotion regulation, post-traumatic growth, and quality of life among young adults in Kozhikode District, Kerala. The study will focus on young adults aged 18-29 years and will comprise a sample of 400 participants, including 200 college students and 200 working young adults from selected areas of Kozhikode District. Participants will be selected from Koyilandy, Perambra, Kozhikode Urban, and Vadakara Urban areas. The study will employ standardized psychological measures to assess adverse childhood experiences, difficulties in emotion regulation, post-traumatic growth, and quality of life. Appropriate descriptive and inferential statistical techniques will be used to examine the relationships among the study variables and to determine the contribution of emotion regulation and post-traumatic growth in explaining the association between adverse childhood experiences and quality of life. The study is expected to provide a broader understanding of both vulnerability and positive psychological adaptation following childhood adversity. The findings may have implications for counselling psychologists, mental health professionals, educational institutions, and community-based services in developing trauma-informed and strength-based interventions for young adults. By examining adverse experiences alongside emotion regulation, post-traumatic growth, and quality of life, the study may contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of pathways through which childhood adversity influences adult psychological functioning and may provide directions for future intervention and longitudinal research.

 Abstract

The pressure-volume-temperature relationships of a material can be investigated using an equation of state (EOS). In the present study we make use of the Holzapfel adapted polynomial of second order (AP2) EOS for determining pressure-volume relationships along selected isotherms, volume-temperature relationships along different isobars, and pressure-temperature relationships along selected isochores for MgO and CaO. The results have been discussed and found to provide new insight for understanding thermodynamics of solids.

 Abstract

The research investigates the fusion of style and nutritional fashion, with a focus on wellness in haute couture. It points to a trend towards product integration of health-focused lifestyles with technical beauty innovations. Alliances of top fashion designers and wellness professionals fuse advanced textile technologies, with related nutritional understanding, to form apparel that provides solutions such as mineral-infused fibers and skin treatments. Nutritional fashion is defined as exclusivity, combining the useful with the luxurious in the form of limited-edition apparel for wellness. These designs not only symbolize status but also take on a personal health and environmental sustainability commitment. Rather than a fleeting trend, nutritional fashion signifies a paradigm shift in luxury, redefining it to prioritize holistic wellness (Vazquez, 2022). 1.1 Background study Nutritional fashion emerged from the trend of wellness-oriented lifestyle strategies. Increased consumer demand has driven innovation in fashion for products, which are at the same time healthy, high-performing, and luxurious. Technological advances in textiles, such as vitamin-impregnated fabrics and bioactive apparel, have incorporated wellness elements into textile products (Gorini, 2021). Continuing this trend, fashion designers in conjunction with health and wellness experts extend this phenomenon and generate high-end market trend-related products. Nutritional fashion, however, is carving out a space in the intersection of luxury, innovation, and holistic wellbeing, as it aligns with the expanding global wellness market, worth more than $7 trillion by 2025.

Abstract: Under Indian perspective the definition of 'environment' and, therefore, environmental law has always been rather broad. Even today, not only does it include the concept of sustainable development but also air and water pollution, preservation of our forests and wildlife, noise pollution and even the protection of our ancient monuments, which are undergoing severe stress due to urbanization and consequent environmental pollution. Community resources such as tanks, ponds, etc. have now been articulated by the Supreme Court for inclusion in the concept of environment, and why should it not be so, considering they all affect the quality and enjoyment of our life. Awareness about the environment and, particularly matters relating to pollution, have been reborn, so to say, such that it is difficult to imagine that our modern environmental jurisprudence is a little over three decades old. In these decades, however, the march of the law has been so rapid and sure which is reflected through this paper. Sustainable Development: An Indian Perspective. Developing priorities in developing countries like India are inescapable because welfare and happiness of all are democratic imperatives. India is a constitutionally ordained society promising an egalitarian social order signifying equality, liberty, socio-economic justice and dignity to all. The mandate of Article 38 and 39(b) and(c) cannot be fulfilled without fixing and implementing certain socio-economic goals and affecting structural change in the society. The imperative need is undoubtedly rapid socio-economic transformation to eradicate the problems of poverty, in equality access and distribution of natural resources and to promote basic indices of human development, minimum standard of welfare and human rights. But the goals of economic and social development must be infused with sustainability; in fact, sustainability embraces socio economic development.

 Abstract

Biochar is a carbon-rich, porous solid produced by thermochemical conversion of biomass under oxygen-limited conditions. Its production links biomass-residue management with carbon storage and the generation of functional materials for agriculture, environmental remediation and emerging industrial applications. This review summarizes major feedstocks and synthesis routes, including slow and fast pyrolysis, hydrothermal carbonization, gasification and post-production activation. The physicochemical properties of biochar--surface area, pore structure, aromaticity, ash content, surface functional groups, pH and cation-exchange capacity--are controlled strongly by feedstock and processing conditions. Applications discussed include soil amendment, nutrient management, carbon sequestration, water and wastewater treatment, soil remediation, composting, catalysis, construction materials and energy-storage electrodes. Particular attention is given to engineered and modified biochars, whose surface chemistry can be tailored for target pollutants. Although biochar offers substantial circular-bioeconomy and climate benefits, performance is application-specific and concerns including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, trace metals, nutrient immobilization, feedstock contamination, energy demand and end-of-life management require careful assessment. Future research should prioritize standardized characterization, long-term field trials, life-cycle and techno-economic assessment, and application-specific quality standards.
