Bioclimatic, anthropogenic and topographical drivers of forest fire dynamics in the Western Himalaya
Forest fire dynamics in the Western Himalaya are driven by climatic, topographic, and anthropogenic factors. • Thirteen bioclimatic and nine climatic, topographic and anthropogenic variables significantly influenced fire occurrence. • Fire frequency decreased with increasing distance from roads and human settlements. • Integrating climate, terrain, and human activity is crucial for effective fire management. Forest fires are a major ecological pr…
Regional Analysis of Economic and Physiological Barriers to Women’s Engagement in Sports in Majha, Malwa, and Doaba (Punjab)
Women’s participation in sports is essential for promoting health, empowerment, and gender equality; however, it remains limited in many parts of India due to multiple structural and individual barriers. The present study examines the economic and physiological barriers affecting women’s engagement in sports across the Majha, Malwa, and Doaba regions of Punjab. A cross-sectional descriptive survey design was adopted, and data were collected from …
Barriers to Women’s Sports Participation in Punjab
Women’s participation in sports in Punjab is limited by sociological and psychological barriers. This study investigates these barriers in two culturally distinct regions: Doaba and Malwa. A quantitative research design was employed, and data were collected from 200 women aged 18–25 (100 from each region) using a self-constructed questionnaire administered via Google Forms. The questionnaire examined sociological barriers (family pressure, societ…

Intelligent Movement Tracking in Performing Arts
Intelligent movement tracking performing arts has become a paradigm shift in research, where computer intelligence is applied to creative performance. Conventional methods of motion analysis, most of which rely on manual observation, marker tracking systems, or single sensory modes, are incapable of tracking the subtleties, fluidity, and stylistic diversity of dances, theatre and performance. The recent innovations in artificial intelligence, mul…
Ai-Enhanced Visual Editing Tools for Art Schools
Current visual editing tools are changing the way art is taught through the incorporation of generative, analytical, and assistive computational analysis into studio practice through the use of AI. The paper discusses the effect of the diffusion networks, style-transfer systems, semantic segmentation engines, and restorative AI workflows on the learning of art, the development of skills, visual analysis, and exploration of concepts in art schools…

Analysis of Marketing and Promotion Strategies for Indigenous Tourism in Jharkhand Using Smith’s 4hs Framework
Indigenous tourism presents a significant opportunity for socio-economic development while preserving cultural heritage. In Jharkhand, indigenous communities possess rich traditions, natural landscapes, and artistic assets that can be leveraged for sustainable tourism. However, effective marketing and promotional strategies are crucial to attract visitors, ensure long-term viability, and maximize community benefits. This study applies Smith’s 4Hs…
Assessing the Influence of Community Involvement on Perceptions of Cultural Heritage Tourism Development
The development of cultural heritage tourism (CHT) frequently encounters obstacles pertaining to community support, as the attitudes of the local populace typically dictate the outcome of tourism endeavors. The community's influence on these perceptions has been undervalued in traditional approaches, which has resulted in low levels of engagement and support for cultural preservation. This study aims to bridge this gap by investigating how differ…
Study on Electrochemical Stability and Charge Transfer Efficiency for the Development of High-Performance Supercapacitors Using Iron Oxide (Fe2O3) Nanorods
A novel electrode material for electrochemical supercapacitors is introduced in this study: hydrothermally produced permeable iron oxide (Fe2O3) nanorods (NRs).The Fe2O3 nanorods exhibit exceptional crystallinity and phase purity, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies validated their cubic crystalline structure inside an Ia3 space collective.An examination of the morphology of the Fe2O3 NRs uncovered their nanostructured characteristics, such as a …
Exploring the Impact of Personality Traits on Investment Decisions of Immigrated Global Investors with Focus on Moderating Risk Appetite
The study investigates the impact of the personality traits of immigrant global investors on their long-term and short-term investment decisions while moderating the impact of risk appetite. By analysing how traits such as extraversion, conscientiousness, openness, agreeableness, and emotional stability intersect with risk tolerance, this research aims to provide a nuanced understanding of how individual characteristics interact to shape investme…
Root amputation
Decision making in endodontic failure tooth between resective procedure or extraction with implant is still challenge for clinicians. The rising concern of the patients towards preserving the natural dentition may shift the clinicians towards Root resection, root amputations and hemisection. Proper case selection is the key to success of resective treatment. This case report describe and illustrates one of the treatment option that is root amputa…
Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Arunachal Pradesh
Bio-geographically, Arunachal Pradesh is the wealthiest province of the entire Himalayas. The picturesque terra firma full of natural beauty and rich cultural opulence, in its entirety, falls under the eastern Himalayan landscape. This north eastern territory of the country was previously called “Terra Incognita” till the beginning of the 20th Century, and hitherto remains one of the least studied states in India today. The state’s socio-economic…
To start or to complete? – Challenges in implementing tuberculosis preventive therapy among people living with HIV
The combined picture of 'low IPT initiation and high completion' seen in our study mirrors findings from other countries. Drug stock-out was the key challenge, which obliged health-care providers to prioritize 'IPT completion' over 'IPT initiation'. There is an urgent need to improve the procurement and supply chain management of isoniazid

Introduction
There is a distinct criticality of the current historical conjuncture. This criticality of our times is characterized by redefi nitions of fundamental concepts such as “equality,” as neoliberal capital strives to mold discourses to suit its goal. While there is a euphoric façade of rhetoric such as “education for all” on one hand, there is a diminishing role of the state on the other. There is a defi nitive retreat of the state as a provider of e…
Global Neoliberalism and Education and Its Consequences
Neoliberalism and Its Impacts
Neoliberal policies both in the United Kingdom and globally (see Harvey, 2005; Hill, 2005, 2006a, 2009a, b; Hill and Rosskam, 2009; Klein, 2008) have resulted in (a) a loss of equity as well as economic and social justice; (b) a loss of democracy and democratic accountability, and (c) a loss of critical thought. Each of these effects is discussed here
Globalization and Changing Patterns of Social Mobilization in Urban India
Recent developments around the globe – from organization into forums such as the World Social Forum to smaller protests – have necessitated a review of the notion of movements/mobilizations. There is an enhanced focus on 'mobilizing/organizing' masses. The character of mobilizations is radically transformed and is in a constant flux leading to explorations of newer 'experiments'. Central to such a conceptualization, given the state of mobilizatio…

Burden of diseases, healthcare priorities and role of state in India
The increasing abdication of the state's role in the health sector in favour of private institutions has made healthcare more inaccessible to the masses, especially the rural and tribal segments. Health services need to be prioritised throughout the country, introducing more effective control strategies and comprehensive surveillance systems for communicable diseases. The state must step up its involvement in healthcare, with greater responsivene…

When Gandhi's Talisman no longer guides policy considerations
Recently, we have witnessed a flurry of activities in the ‘education sector’ in India. These activities are located within the larger context of globalisation dominated by the neoliberal capital. The paper argues that given the social and economic segregation in Indian society education has always been discriminatory. However, recent neoliberal influences in policymaking have accentuated the segregation furthermore. Everything, including educatio…
