 Abstract

This study examines the multi-layered influence of globalization on the traditional folk performing arts of Assam, including major forms such as Bihu, Ojapali, Bhaona, and Ankiya Naat. These art forms, rooted in agrarian, religious, and communal practices, are integral to Assamese identity. However, with rapid global integration, these traditions are experiencing both revitalization and erosion. The research employs secondary data from academic journals, cultural reports, archival documents, and credible online sources. The results designate that globalization purposes as a ambiguous blade. On one hand, digital platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram have provided increased visibility, new audiences, and opportunities for cultural exchange and monetization. On the other hand, this exposure often leads to the commodification of folk traditions, diluting their spiritual and social significance. Table-based analysis reveals that while Bihu has successfully adapted through digital dissemination and diaspora engagement, more ritualistic forms like Ojapali and Ankiya Naat remain marginalized and are practiced only by a dwindling number of older performers. Youth engagement trends further highlight the generational gap. While rural youth participate occasionally due to community ties, urban youth are largely disengaged unless the art form is popularized through social media or school-level programs. Motivations have shifted from cultural continuity to digital recognition and entertainment value. Influenced by peer culture, lack of economic incentives, and migration, many youths no longer see folk arts as viable or relevant.

 Abstract

Assam is the gateway of North Eastern Region (NER) of India occupying an area of 78,438 sq. km. The great river Brahmaputra covers 800 km across the length of Assam and virtually dividing the state into two halves. It touches through 19 districts of Assam and gives birth of Chars and Chapories in 14 districts as Barpeta, Bongaigaon, Darrang, Dhemaji, Dhubri, Goalpara, Jorhat Kamrup, Lakhimpur, Morigaon Nagaon, Nalbari, and Sonitpur, Tinsukia. According to the Socio-Economic Survey Report 2002-2003, the total Char-Chaporiareas of Assam consist about 3,60,927 hectares in which 2,42,277 hectares are cultivable and 1,18,650 hectares are uncultivable.The governments of Assam have introduced various measures for socio-economic development of char-chapories. But all these measures have no yield proper result due to various short comings related to their miss-implementation. The proposed study focusses only on status and changing trend of rice cultivation among major food grains production in Assam which completely depends on secondary sources of data. The required data would collect from government publications, economic survey of state government, various journals and books.

 Abstract

In reality, the wealth of the modern economy no longer depends on physical assets; rather, it depends on intangible intellectual assets. The most crucial component of success in the modern economic era is intellectual capital, which is also essential for maintaining competitive advantage and adding value to the company. Intellectual Capital embodies the intangible assets and resources of a company, such as knowledge, know-how, professional skills and expertise, employees, databases, intellectual properties, technologies, customers, etc., that can benefit a company. It determines its potential to grow in the future when managed and used wisely. Companies believe that intellectual capital disclosure is a good way to improve their relationships with different stakeholders and lessen information asymmetry. The intellectual capital disclosure includes the disclosure of three components of intellectual capital i.e human capital disclosure, structural capital disclosure, and relational capital disclosure. The knowledge incorporated into information technology (IT) systems, the results and products of knowledge conversion, including papers, databases, processes, plans, and the company's intellectual property, as well as all non-human knowledge repositories within a company, are all considered structural capital. This paper is an attempt to understand the different themes of human capital disclosure.

 Abstract

The healthcare landscape is evolving rapidly with the integration of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) stands at the forefront of this transformation, promising groundbreaking innovations in medical diagnosis, treatment, and management. However, along with its potential benefits, SaMD brings forth significant ethical and legal considerations that necessitate comprehensive regulatory oversight. Ensuring patient safety is paramount as SaMD becomes increasingly involved in clinical decision-making. Additionally, safeguarding data privacy and addressing algorithmic transparency and accountability are critical. Effective regulatory frameworks are essential to strike a balance between fostering innovation and protecting patient welfare. By providing clear guidance and standards for SaMD development, validation, and post-market surveillance, policymakers can instill confidence in these technologies' safety and efficacy. This paper aims to explore the ethical and legal implications of SaMD regulation, focusing on key issues such as patient safety, data privacy, and algorithmic accountability. Through an examination of existing regulatory frameworks and emerging best practices, it seeks to offer insights and recommendations for stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem. By addressing these challenges collaboratively, we can harness the transformative potential of SaMD while upholding ethical standards and patient-centered care.

 Abstract

In order to achieve financial soundness banks should manage the risk effectively. Credit risk is banker's loss arising from a borrower who fails to keep up his promise of repayment well in time. The bank's profitability is impacted by the level of loans and advances, non-performing loans and deposits. In this 'market driven economy' globalization trends coupled with intensive competition within the country and outside the country are making the banks to frame suitable risk management strategies. Bank frauds, failures, economic sluggishness, global financial crisis impactness, large sized money transfer from one to another country, taking shelter in other countries and possible legal delays etc., are some of the examples where in the commercial banks should be careful and take extra care to measure the quantum of associate risks. Credit risk causes economic downturn as banks fail due to default risk from customers, which has had a negative impact on the economic development of many nations (Reinhart &Regoff, 2008). In 2008 at global level credit crises emerged due to mass issuing of sub-prime mortgages to individuals in the US leading to default which caused problems around the world. Subprime mortgages and other loans with less restrictions can generate remarkable losses including corporate failures and bankruptcy of financial institutions (Brown et al. 2014). The present research paper reveals data that socio-economic characteristics are impacting on CRM, respondents are well aware of objectives behind CRM. Further, the respondents clearly expressed about the causes of risk management and also ranked the factors impacting credit risk mitigation. The study analyzed the data with the help of quantitative techniques like chi-square, contingency co-efficient, ANOVA, Kendall's concordance and Garrette ranking technique.
