Reimagining Grendel
The figure monster in fantasy literature especially in children’s literature has persisted across myth, folklore, fable and placed in one of the most enduring archetypes which highlights fear, danger, disorder, violence and the unknown edges of human psychology. From ancient epics to modern literature fantasies, the monstrous characters in general performed as a symbolic storehouse of vilence, bloodshed, collective anxieties, social tensions, and…
Is ChatGPT the Future of Academic Writing? A Sequential Explanatory Study to Explore Generative Conversational AI as an Academic Writing Support Tool for Research Scholars
The growing prominence of ChatGPT has sparked interest in its potential to improve both the quality and productivity of academic writing. This study aims to fill the knowledge gap regarding how research scholars perceive and engage with ChatGPT in the context of academic research writing. The primary objective was to assess scholars’ views on ChatGPT's efficiency, usefulness, and effectiveness in academic research writing, while also identifying …
Between NGOs and Trade Unions
In this article, I highlight the issue of organizational forms within the informal-sector workers’ movement by examining the experiences of domestic workers in India and South Africa. I am motivated by the growing body of literature that explores the tension between NGOs and trade unions as opposing organizational forms in the context of emancipatory struggles under neoliberalism. My argument is that trade unions and NGOs are not mutually exclusi…
Contradictions of Neoliberal Urbanism
This article discusses the contradictions of neoliberal urbanism in the context of Indian cities. Focusing on gated neighborhoods as a quintessential feature of neoliberal urbanism, it unpacks the changing meaning and significance of gated neighborhoods (GNs) and their representative organizations, the Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs), in mediating the relationship between the propertied middle classes and the urban poor. A few decades into t…
Comparative evaluation of iron status by reticulocyte haemoglobin content (CHr) in chronic kidney disease patients on haemodialysis and erythropoietin
Due to the inflammatory state associated with uraemia, diagnosing iron deficiency using currently available assays is difficult in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The goal of this study was to see how useful reticulocyte haemoglobin (CHr) is as a diagnostic tool for iron deficiency and a predictor of intravenous iron therapy in a group of CKD patients in Sri Lanka who were on haemodialysis. A hundred (100) individuals with CKD on r…
Domestic workers, class-hegemony, and the Indian state
Using class as the key analytical category, I examine domestic workers’ struggle for legal recognition as workers in India since national independence. Drawing from a review of Indian parliamentary debates and discussions on the issue, I explore how the ‘idea’ of paid domestic labour is framed and contested in the legislative discourse of post-colonial India, and how that framing changes over time. Specifically, I use Marxist cultural theory to a…
Mucuna pruriens (L.) DC chemo sensitize human breast cancer cells via downregulation of prolactin-mediated JAK2/STAT5A signaling
Working from home is better than going out to the factories
This paper explores the spatiality and temporality of women’s decisions to navigate particular forms of paid work, through means of a comparative analysis of three different sites and forms of work—at one’s own home (as home based workers), someone else’s home (in the form of paid domestic work) and conventional workplaces like factories (as shop-floor workers and as cleaners). By contextually situating the varying expressions of choice across th…
