Ayurvedic Approach to Diabetes Mellitus Associated With Pancreatitis: A Case Study
type: item
description: Diabetes associated with pancreatitis is an increasingly recognized health concern, primarily arising secondary to pancreatic diseases, with chronic pancreatitis being the most prevalent cause. In Ayurvedic terms, diabetes mellitus (Prameha) is associated with Kapha and Pitta vitiation, whereas pancreatitis is linked to aggravated Pitta disrupting Agni (digestive fire) and leading to Amaaccumulation. Ayurvedic management integrates di etary modifications, Ayurvedic formulations, and Panchakarma therapies to restore metabolic balance and enhance pancreatic function. This study presents the case of a 29-year-old male diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus associated with pancreatitis, who sought treatment at Jeena Sikho Lifecare Limited Hospital, Derabassi, Punjab. He underwent Panchakarma thera pies, including Awagah Swedan, Madhu Tailik Basti, Shiropichu with Brah mi oil, and Nasyam with Anutaila, alongside Ayurvedic formulations. Fol lowing Ayurvedic treatment, the patient experienced significant symptom relief, improved glycemic control, and better laboratory parameters, includ ing reduced HbA1C levels and improved liver enzyme markers. These find ings highlight the potential of Ayurvedic interventions in managing diabetes associated with pancreatitis. However, further clinical trials are necessary to validate these outcomes and establish standardized treatment protocols for enhanced patient care.

A Review of Machine Learning-Based Impact AssessmentTechniques Using Remote Sensing Imagery in Environmental andUrban Studies
type: item
description: The rapid growth of urbanization and environmental stress has intensified the need for precise, scalable, and timely impact assessment tools. Remote sensing (RS) imagery, with its ability to provide spatial and temporal data across large extents, has become central to monitoring land surface changes. In recent years, the integration of machine learning (ML) techniques with remote sensing has transformed how environmental and urban impacts are assessed, offering more accurate classifications, predictive capabilities, and dynamic monitoring. This review explores the current landscape of ML-based methodologies applied to RS imagery in the context of environmental degradation, urban expansion, land use/ land cover (LULC) change, vegetation health, and disaster impact evaluation. It provides a comparative assessment of commonly used algorithms such as Support Vector Machines, Random Forest, Artificial Neural Networks, and emerging deep learning models like Convolutional Neural Networks. The study examines how these methods are applied across diverse datasets—Landsat, Sentinel, UAV imagery and highlights their performance in detecting subtle and complex landscape changes. The review also identifies promising trends, including explainable AI, integration with GIS-based spatial analytics, and real-time processing via cloud platforms.

An Ethnobotanical Assessment of the Flora in Rampur Forest Division, Shimla District, Himachal Pradesh: Traditional Uses, Threats, and Manage ment Strategies
type: item
description: This study focuses on the documentation and identification of the flora in the Rampur forest division of Shimla district, Himachal Pradesh, highlighting its ethnobotanical uses, traditional knowledge, cultural significance, prevailing threats and ongoing conservation efforts. Local floral diversity serve multiple uses, primarily medicinal, but their traditional uses also extend to food, fodder, fuel, and various cultural practices, often intertwined with magico-religious beliefs that that help in conservation. This heritage, however, is under severe threat from habitat degradation, over-exploitation, climate change, developmental projects, and the erosion of traditional knowledge due to modernization and diminishing intergenerational transfer. The study highlights the urgent need of the community engagement and various conservation strategies to safeguard both the flora and valuable indigenous knowledge systems. In the present study, 42 plant species ethnomedicinal plants belonging to 32 families and 40 plant species of other ethnobotanical uses belonging to 23 families were documented. All the 82 plants are arranged in alphabetical manner with botanical names, local names, family and their ethno botanical uses are documented in two tables.

Impact of Blockchain Technology on Operational Performance of Ware housing (Logistics) Industry in Sri Lanka
type: item
description: Blockchain is a next-generation technology evolvement in most industries in the world, such as logistics, financing, food, supply chain, etc. According to the literature, it was identified that warehousing companies face issues such as documentation, lengthy process lead time, intermediary involvement, lesser transparency in the processes, and bullwhip effect (demand and supply forecasting errors). Therefore, to reduce these risks it could adapt to the latest technologies, such as Blockchain technology organization wise. The primary objective behind this research is to identify the significant factors/ antecedent affecting the operational performance of Sri Lanka’s warehousing industry. Two latent variables that affect the operational performance of Sri Lankan warehouses have been discovered based on the literature review. The Independent Variable of this study is attributes of Blockchain technology and there are three dimensions identified: Decentralization (peer-to-peer network), Transparency (verified), and Computation logic (smart contracts). The warehouse’s operational performance serves as the dependent variable. This study’s population consists of employees who work at the warehouse/ transport service providing organization that is practicing blockchain technology local and multinational, employees, who work at the warehouse/ transport service providing organization that is not practicing the said technology local and multinational. A sample of three hundred and seventy (370) with a confidence level (95%) and margin of error (5%) has been utilized for analysis. This survey applied simple random sampling. The operation performance of the warehouse was significantly influenced by the variable network decentralization, despite the explanatory power of information transparency being rejected.

कृष्णा सोबती के उपन्यासों में व्यक्त नारी अवधारणाएं
type: item
description: कृष्णा सोबती ने अपने उपन्यासों ‘डार से बिछुड़ी’, ‘मित्रों मरजानी’, ‘सूरजमुखी अंधेरे के’ में स्त्री को एक उन्मुक्त रूप में प्रस्तुत किया है, जो उनकी सबसे बड़ी विशेषता है। उन्होंने नारी को साहस के साथ चित्रित किया और काम-संबंधों को एक सहज शारीरिक आवश्यकता के रूप में प्रस्तुत किया। उनके विचारों के अनुसार, विवाह एक अनावश्यक बंधन हो सकता है, जो व्यक्तित्व के विकास को रोकता है। विवाह पूर्व और विवाहेत्तर संबंधों को उन्होंने नैतिक-अनैतिक के बजाय स्वाभाविक माना है। लेखिका का यह दृष्टिकोण उनके उपन्यासों को नवीन कथ्य प्रदान करता है और उनके पात्रों को साहसिकता और मानवीयता से भरपूर बनाता है। उन्होंने नारी की बदलती धारणाओं और मान्यताओं को सशक्त रूप में प्रस्तुत किया है।

जैनाचार की वैज्ञानिकता: पर्यावरण सुरक्षा एवं संतुलन के सन्दर्भ में
type: item
description: जैन दर्शन के सिद्धांत प्रकृति की सुरक्षा की कोरी चर्चा मात्र नहीं करते, बल्कि प्रकृति-संरक्षण को जीवन में व्यावहारिक रूप से अपनाने का सुंदर मार्गदर्शन भी प्रदान करते हैं। पर्यावरण सुरक्षा से स्वच्छ और सुरक्षित जीवन सुनिश्चित होता है, वहीं पर्यावरण विनाश से आत्म-विनाश निश्चित होता है। इसलिए आज यह एक अत्यंत महत्वपूर्ण विषय होना चाहिए, जिसे अक्सर नजरअंदाज कर दिया जाता है। पर्यावरण मुख्यतः पृथ्वी, जल, अग्नि, वायु, वनस्पति और आकाश से निर्मित होता है। यदि ये तत्व दूषित हो जाएं तो पर्यावरण भी दूषित हो जाता है, और यदि ये संरक्षित रहें तो पर्यावरण भी सुरक्षित रहता है। वैदिक दर्शन में भी जल व अग्नि आदि को दिव्य तत्वों के रूप में स्वीकार किया गया है – जैसे कि “आपो देवता”, “अग्नि देवता”। वहीं, जैन दर्शन में इन तत्वों में जीवों का अस्तित्व माना गया है और उनके सम्मान की बात विभिन्न स्थलों पर की गई है। सभी जीव एक-दूसरे के पूरक हैं, एक-दूसरे से जुड़े हुए हैं, और एक-दूसरे को सुख पहुंचाकर ही सुखी बना सकते हैं। प्रभु महावीर ने अपने आगमों में इसी बात पर विशेष बल दिया है – ‘परस्परोपग्रहो जीवानाम्’। दूसरों को दुखी करके स्वयं सुखी नहीं रहा जा सकता – यही जैन दर्शन का शांतिपूर्ण और वैज्ञानिक सिद्धांत है।

URBAN SPRAWL MAPPING OF AJMER CITY (2020-2024) USING SATELLITE IMAGERY
type: item
description: The rate of urbanization in Indian cities, like several other developing cities around the world is increasing at an alarming rate. This unprecedented and uncontrolled urbanization may result in urban sprawl or suburban sprawl, the rapid expansion of the geographic extent of cities and towns, often characterized by low-density residential housing, single-use zoning, and increased reliance on the private automobile for transportation. Urban sprawl is caused in part by the need to accommodate a rising urban population; however, in many metropolitan areas, it results from a desire for increased living space and other residential amenities. Urbanization is the process in which the population shifts from rural to cities or urban centres for an improved standard of living due to economic growth and development. As the migration rate increases, urban cities undergo major changes in land use and land cover which trigger several negative effects such as overcrowding, water scarcity, air pollution, loss of productive agricultural lands and forest cover. Remote sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) are used for monitoring the emerging urbanization of the cities using satellite images. The ill effects of urban sprawl in developing countries are a bit complicated compared to those of developed countries because of uncontrolled population growth and haphazard urbanization.An overview of the enormous potential of remote sensing and GIS techniques in mapping and monitoring the Spatio-temporal patterns urban sprawl is dealt with here. The spatial pattern and dynamics of the urban sprawl of Ajmer City (Rajasthan, India) during the period from 2020 to 2024 using the integrated approach of remote sensing and GIS are attempted here. Supervised classification is used for the rapid and automated extraction of built-up features from the time series satellite imageries. The extracted built-up areas of each year are then used for the quantification of urban sprawl and its associa…

Was 2024 A Mandate for Good Governance or Savior of Democracy?
type: item
description: In a democracy, good governance is system of governance that is participatory, transparent, accountable, efficient, and equitable and follows the rule of law. In an election, the issue of good governance paves the way for all political parties to come to power and go out. Under good governance, responsibility, accountability and transparency of the system are the main aspects which show how successful a government has been in bringing up good governance. Before 2014, United Progressive Alliance (UPA) formed the government for two consecutive terms in which many issues like corruption, inflation, violence against women and unemployment emerged as the main issues of the people which became the basis for change of power in the 2014 election and Bhartiya Janata Party, turned the election result in its favor by promising good governance. National Democratic Alliance (NDA) formed the government and worked on many issues which were supported by the public viz., Ram Mandir, Triple Talaq and Article 370 etc. But corruption, inflation, crimes against women, misuse of constitutional institutions for self-motivated interests was on rise. Both opposition and voters criticize the ruling party as they wanted socio economic upliftment and employment opportunities for all. The Lok Sabha election 2024 gave mandate for strong democracy and vocal opposition due to the deteriorating condition of democracy. The main issue regarding the protection of the constitution was of prime concern for them. In this research paper, an attempt has been made to analyze the election result of 2024 for good governance and strong democracy.

Environmental impacts of land use and land cover changes in Solan District of Himachal Pradesh
type: item
description: The way in which a part of landscape serves a functional purpose is defined as land use. The natural features on the surface undergo continuous change and these changes may be as old as the human history is. But the rate or scale of this change has become much faster in the recent past which is resulting into various environmental problems. Land use/land cover is an issue of global importance as the world’s about eight billion people compete for food, water and shelter. India is the seventh largest and second most populous country in the world with amazing physical and cultural diversity. The massive conversion of valuable and limited land resource to agriculture, construction and other land uses are undermining the capacity of this resource to sustain a burgeoning human population. Knowledge about existing land-use/land cover and trends of change is essential for the proper planning, management and regulations of the use of such resources. In the present study effort has been made to analyse the environmental impacts of this spatiotemporal changes in land use/land cover in Solan district of Himachal Pradesh.

Geospatial studies in assessing the Environmental Conditions in most diverse block (Puranpur ) of Pilibhit District,Uttar Pradesh
type: item
description: Terai region of the state is full with bio diversities and varying environmental conditions. One of the most prominent blocks i.e. Puranpur of the district Pilibhit in this region is experiencing changing environmental conditions over the last several decades. The changing environmental conditions in this area have given rise to changing bio diversities. Due to depleting natural resources ,the great loss in environmental conditions has been noticed in the area.One of the most affected place i.e. Fulhar lake, which is the origin point of Gomti River, exhibits a decreasing trend in its spatial extent over the period of time has been noticed.To understand the spatial and temporal variations in the lake water, space borne Remote Sensing technology has been found very much useful. The Lake holds significant ecological and socio-economic importance for the local communities and surrounding areas. Despite, its ecological significance, Fulhar Lake faces numerous challenges such as degradation, pollution and encroachment. Satellite borne dataclearly indicates a significant decrease in its spatial extent of this lake. In1972 the spatial extent of the lake was 6.07 ha, which has been reduced to 3.97 ha in 2003, Further poor management and developmental activities for tourism purposes has been increased the spatial extent of the lake to 4.15 ha(1.73 ha wet part and 2.40 ha as dry part). Subsequently once again area of the lake has been reduced to 3.02 ha in 2017which has finally remained only3.0 ha in 2023.Now this significant reduction and variation in the spatial extent of Fulhar Lake is throwing an adverse effect on Gomti River.Due to less amount of inflow of water from lake to Gomti river, is continuously making the river dry.

DOMESTIC WASTE DISPOSAL PRACTICES AND AWARENESS ABOUT ITS IMPACTS ON ENVIRONMENT AND HUMAN HEALTH IN AN ISLANDIC VILLAGE: AKHADA-ST. ESTEVAM IN GOA
type: item
description: Effective domestic or household waste management is crucial for environmental sustainability and public health. Improper disposal practices lead to adverse sanitation, pollution, disease outbreaks and ecosystem degradation. This study examines waste disposal practices and awareness level among the households in a selected village in Tiswadi taluka of Goa. While residents show high awareness of the harmful effects of improper waste management, a significant gap exists between knowledge and action. Factors such as poor recycling habits, lack of infrastructure for waste disposal and limited public education contribute to this issue. By analysing household behaviours and perceptions, the study aims to recommend strategies for improving waste management practices and enhancing community health and sustainability. Improper waste disposal continues to pose significant environmental and public health challenges contributing to pollution, fear of disease outbreaks and the degradation of ecosystems. This study evaluates household waste management practices, awareness levels, and perceptions among 60 respondents from a selected village. Data collection was facilitated through structured questionnaires and findings were analysed using tables and visualized through pie charts created in Microsoft Excel to better understand patterns and trends. A majority of respondents reported suffering from allergies due to waste exposure, and many experienced infectious diseases, highlighting immediate health threats stemming from poor waste management. The study also found that while several respondents consistently separated waste, a considerable number displayed inconsistent segregation practices. Daily waste disposal was commonly observed among households, reflecting regular management efforts; however, recycling habits remained poor, with most respondents rarely recycling and none reporting frequent recycling. Many individuals reused plastic bags, which is a positive trend, yet harmful p…

Exploring the Role of Landscape Architecture in Advancing Environ mental Equity and Climate Justice
type: item
description: Landscape Architects through their expertise and knowledge can shape human experiences by adopting equitable design strategies into designing healthy, equitable and inclusive open spaces and balancing the scale of environmental justice. People with different physical abilities and belonging to different economic, social and ethnic origins tend to dwell within the cities. Public parks and open spaces are a perfect aid for this rapidly growing socio-economic discrepancy in any urban setting. Hence inclusive and accessible landscape designs reflect and celebrate the social diversity and identity of the users by recognising different cultures, values, histories and aspirations of the people within the communities. Through intensive studies, researchers have observed that public spaces also contribute to the upliftment of both physical and psychological well being within urban areas. In countries of Global South where urbanization is occurring at a tremendous pace, safeguarding and promoting these natural ecologies should take place simultaneously along with social and economic development. These countries are designing landscapes that are related to existing green-blue infrastructure and forming adaptive spaces within landscapes that provide resilience to the cities during times of disaster. Thus, creating landscapes that serve as the connection between the city and nature through their ecologies should be implemented and designed for the proper functioning of cities.

Intersectionality and Climate Justice: A Literature Review on Gender, Equity, and Sustainable Development
type: item
description: The impacts of climate change are unequally distributed around the globe, especially in developing countries. Studies have shown that the effects of climate change are not gender-neutral. Due to the debate over climate change, the movement for climate justice has expanded since its inception, including concerns of ethics, equality, gender, racism, and human rights. The effects of climate change are evident in all segments of the global population who depend on natural resources for their livelihood or are least equipped to handle natural calamities. Gender inequality integrated with the climate crisis is regarded as one of the significant challenges of our time. When gender issues are mentioned in any discussions related to climate change it is usually concerning women’s gendered vulnerability in current society especially in rural areas of the developing countries. This not only poses threats to livelihood and health but also to the safety and security of girls and women in developing countries across the globe. Women in society commonly face greater risks and burdens from the immediate impacts of climate change in situations related to poverty. Climate change also intensifies other societal problems among girls and women such as gender-based violence. Women, elderly people and children spend most of their time indoors leaving them at greater risk for vulnerability during disasters. Furthermore, it is evident that women's uneven involvement in decision-making processes exacerbates existing disparities by limiting their ability to fully participate in planning, policy-making, and implementation linked to climate change. However, because of their local understanding of sustainable resource management and practices at the family and community levels, women may play a critical role in adapting to the effects of climate change. Diversity, equity and inclusion should be the key drivers in achieving gender justice to fulfil the motto of SDGs of leaving no-one behind. The …

Physico Chemical Analysis of Wastewater in Perspective of Sustainable Development for an Urban Agglomeration in India and Nigeria
type: item
description: Urban wastewater in Kota, Rajasthan, primarily arises from power plants and manufacturing industries, posing significant challenges due to industrial discharge and rapid urbanization. In contrast, Bauchi Metropolis in northeastern Nigeria is a rapidly growing city with diverse agricultural, commercial, and small-scale industrial activities but struggles with inadequate wastewater infrastructure for collection and treatment. Sustainable development, which seeks to balance environmental, economic, and social goals, requires collaboration among government, businesses, and individuals to foster long-term changes. Both cities must adopt localized and scalable wastewater treatment solutions, enhance infrastructure, and ensure regulatory compliance. Collaborating with international organizations and embracing innovative solutions will be essential for improving water quality and ensuring sustainable urban growth. This study analyzed water samples from both cities during winter and summer seasons, focusing on water quality parameters. The results revealed significant seasonal variations: in India, domestic wastewater pH dropped from 5.22 in winter to 2.22 in summer, while BOD in Nigeria increased from 8.04 mg/L to 8.45 mg/L. DO show a slight increase in India, reaching 8.0 mg/L for industrial wastewater in summer. Turbidity in Nigeria’s domestic wastewater decreased from 357.4 NTU to 180.3 NTU in summer. Hardness was higher in winter, particularly in India’s industrial wastewater at 105 mg/L, while no significant seasonal differences were observed in density. Higher values for electrical conductivity, chloride ion concentration, and calcium hardness were noted in winter. Correlation analysis identified relationships among the analyzed parameters, guiding the selection of appropriate wastewater treatment methods for implementation in treatment plants.

type: item
description: “Health is wealth” is a famous proverb applicable to all people. However even after decades of independence, India has yet to achieve its optimum goal in health sector. Although public awareness regarding government initiatives is increasing, the health infrastructure remains inefficient. The planning of healthcare and welfare services is becoming increasingly significant due to profound social and economic impact of addressing public health challenges. Efficient utilization of personnel, materials and financial resources is guaranteed by effective health planning. Improving health services efficacy, accessibility and quality is its main objective. Health is fundamental right of every individual and because public health is within a state control, the responsibility for providing medical aid to people of every class and group fall in state administration. Several flagship schemes have been launched to strengthen healthcare system, ensuring that everyone has access to equitable, affordable and high quality care. However, India continues to see substantial discrepancies between rural and urban areas, notably in tribal areas and Gujarat’s The Dangs district is no exception. Guidelines for establishing Primary Health Centre (PHC) and Sub Centre have been issued across country in compliance with the established norms. The current study seeks to determine if the Primary Health Centre and Sub Centre in the area achieve these standards.

Exploring District-Wise Water Poverty in West Bengal through Geospatial Analysis: Aligning with SDG 6
type: item
description: Water scarcity is a concern in West Bengal, with large variations in availability to safe drinking water between districts. This study uses geospatial analysis to investigate district level water poverty in the state, in line with United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6, which seeks to provide universal access to clean water and sanitation. Data from the 2011 Census and the 2015-2016 National Family Health Survey (NFHS) were used to evaluate household access to drinking water, including distance to water sources and intake of untreated water. A composite Water Deprivation Index was created with standardized indicators and geographical inequality was assessed using Atkinson’s index and Moran’s I statistics. The study finds high regional variation in water availability, with minimal spatial autocorrelation indicating that water scarcity is driven less by geographical proximity and more by localized characteristics such as infrastructure, geography, and population density. The findings underline the importance of region-specific initiatives to promote water access, maintain sustainable water management, and alleviate water inequality.

PATACHITRA - A CULTURAL HERITAGE OF WEST BENGAL AND ODISHA
type: item
description: song, folk dance and distinguishable painting style. Both West Bengal and Odisha are situated in Eastern India. Among these two states, modes and forms of cultural aspects are very much interrelated, and even similar in some cases. Most famous and common cultural aspect among these two states is Patachitra. Patachitra is a unique art-form, which is based on mythological folktales and started from immemorial time. Not only in West Bengal and Odisha, but it is prevalent also in the other parts of India, as well as outside of the country. To identify the similarities and dissimilarities between Bengal pata and Odisha pata, and also the differences of the lifestyle of patuas or chitrakar, two famous Patua villages have been selected as the study area, which are Naya from West Bengal and Raghurajpur from Odisha. Culture is a combination of art, music, literature, behaviour, belief, rituals etc of a specific area. Cultural heritage refers to the tangible and intangible attributes of a group of people belonging to a specific place, followed by generation to generation. To recognize how the components and forms of patachitra differ with the different physical and social attributes, a household survey was conducted in both the areas of interest. Some indicators have been selected to identify the similarities and dissimilarities between these two areas on different aspects of Patachitra. It can be concluded that, though after evaluation the locational, physical, social , cultural differences are there, but the essence of Patachitra has created a cultural bonding between these two areas.

Higher education and policy knowledge
type: item
description: Studies show that political awareness is higher in Indian states and in states like the north Indian state of Rajasthan as compared to other parts of the country. A good university education and success in life has become a barrier. A better life depends on higher education. Therefore, the implications for India are immense. In this article, we attempt to analyze the trends in higher education in India and assess their impact on knowledge studies and politics. It determines not only the level of personal well-being but also the health and safety of the country as a whole. As a rule, the ideology that governs a country also affects the education system. Education allows people to participate in discussions and thus to have access to a wide range of information on various subjects. Well-educated people are more likely to be successful and usually have better political knowledge than less educated people. These experiences develop the student's political skills and sense of efficacy, which increases his or her likelihood of participation, thus increasing his or her knowledge and skills, and leading to continued cooperation.

type: item
description: Crime is an act generally accepted to cause harm or damage to people, and its purpose is clearly defined and punished under law. According to Mayhew (2009), crime and geography are interrelated in many ways. Crime geography studies the analysis of crime, its place, and the impact of crime (including criminals) to understand how crime is influenced by society and space. This study includes the crime analysis and geographical area of Bell Tower Police Station, showing the location and time of crime from 2009 to 2019. The frequency and decline help us better understand crime and its occurrence. The main objective of this study is to improve the existing knowledge about crime and its occurrence in Ajmer city and provinces. This study aims to shed light on crime in Ajmer city, Rajasthan. According to Mayhew (2009), the crime area refers to the study of crime with the aim of gaining knowledge about the effects of crime, criminal behavior, and the interaction of crime with people and places, including criminals. Cain's jealousy manifested itself in the killing of Habil (son of Adam and Eve), which led to the first crime in human history (Gillani, Mahmud, Rehman, & Rashid, 2008). Violence always causes unrest and distrust in society. Simply put, crime is a crime because it attempts to obtain something or break a law.
