 Abstract

The emergence of Thang-Ta in Manipur is deeply rooted in the region's history, warfare and cultural life of its people. It has emerged from the combat system for survival and state administration. 'Thang-Ta' is a composite word composing of 'Thang' meaning 'Sword' and 'Ta' meaning 'Spear.' The evolution from a traditional martial arts system to National sporting event and later becoming a specified school curriculum has a long history of its own. It was banned even from practice for long during the British Colonial Rule. Revival of this art form is a post-independent people led phenomena. During the 1980s and 1990s many new associations and institutions were formed for its revival. Later, it was first introduced as an optional subject in HSLC (High School Leaving Certificate) exam conducted by BOSEM from 2014. This paper would be a plain attempt to bring out the emergence of this Game- Thang-Ta.

 Abstract

The cover drive is an essential, highly technical stroke in cricket, requiring precise temporal and spatial coordination. This study aimed to develop a prediction model for cover drive performance based on selected kinematic variables during the stroke execution phase. Data were extracted from my PhD thesis and collected from LNIPE Gwalior, the N=15 right-handed senior female cricketers of MPCA. Multiple linear regression analysis was applied to predict the total cover drive score based on four kinematic predictors: left knee angle, left elbow angle, right elbow angle, and center of gravity (CG). The model demonstrated a high predictive capacity (R2=0.747, F=7.37, p<0.05). Specifically, the left knee angle (p=0.004), right elbow angle (p=0.004), and CG position (p=0.006) emerged as significant predictors of shot proficiency. The resulting biomechanical model provides empirical targets for coaching, talent identification, and technical remediation in cricket batting.

 Abstract

The study of multiplication rings and multiplication modules occupies an important place in modern commutative algebra and module theory. These algebraic structures have emerged from the broader development of ring theory, ideal theory and module theory, providing powerful tools for understanding the relationships between ideals, submodules and algebraic systems. The concept of multiplication rings extends the classical notion of rings by emphasizing the multiplicative behavior of ideals, while multiplication modules generalize this idea to module theory by establishing a close correspondence between ideals of a ring and submodules of a module. The evolution of these concepts has significantly enriched algebraic research and has led to numerous theoretical advancements and practical applications in mathematics.

 Abstract

Multiplication rings and multiplication modules constitute an important area of modern abstract algebra, with significant applications in ring theory, module theory, commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. The concept of multiplication modules extends the notion of multiplication ideals in rings, where every submodule is generated by an ideal of the underlying ring. This property provides a strong relationship between the structure of a ring and the behavior of its modules, making multiplication modules an essential subject for theoretical investigation. The present study aims to explore the fundamental properties, classifications and applications of multiplication rings and modules while examining their role in understanding the algebraic structure of modules over commutative rings.

 Abstract

This research seeks to examine the representation of non human animals in the works of Kiran Millwood Hargrave, critically acclaimed speculative fiction novel is the Geomancer Trilogy made up of In the Shadow of the Wolf Queen (2023), The Storm and the Sea Hawk (2024), and The Ship of Strays (2025). While going beyond the traditional confines of the biocentric 'zoo critic', where animals are caged and shown in individual instances of institutional captivity, attempts to see Hargrave's fictional world as a macrocosmic manifestation of human exceptionalism and ecological domination. By considering the commodification, imprisonment and enforced exhibition of animals like the noble sea wolves and free birds under the despotic control of the Wolf Queen, Hargrave disputes the Anthropocene era's quest to rob animals of their agency. With characters like Ysolda and her friend Nara the sea hawk and other animals onboard the Ship of Strays, the trilogy provides a redemptive eco-narrative that demonstrates an intrinsic ontological longing for freedom, bodily autonomy and ecological parity. Trilogy requires an end to the notion of animals being passive displays of power.

 Abstract

Varicose ulcers are chronic, non-healing wounds that frequently correspond to the clinical presentation of Dushta Vrana in Ayurveda. This report describes the case of a 35-year-old male worker who presented with a healing varicose ulcer around the ankle joint that had persisted for seven to eight months. The management protocol involved a phased, localized Ayurvedic intervention implemented over seventy days, including continuous Prakshalana with a Panchavalkala solution, initial topical application of an Anubhoota Yoga formulation of Dhathura Taila, and subsequent intensive Vrana Basti therapy with Jatyadi Ghrita. These localized treatments were supported by concurrent systemic oral medications. Following completion of this integrative protocol, the ulcer achieved complete clinical closure.

 Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Computer Vision technologies have transformed the way users interact with digital systems by enabling contactless, intelligent, and immersive experiences. The integration of machine learning with browser-based applications has created new opportunities in retail, entertainment, education, and customer engagement. This paper presents the design and implementation of an AI-powered web platform that combines virtual clothing visualization, gesture-controlled interactive games, augmented reality hairstyle preview, avatar animation, automated customer greeting, and smart multimedia display management into a unified browser application. The proposed system employs MediaPipe landmark detection models for face, hand, and body pose estimation, enabling real-time human-computer interaction without requiring specialized hardware. A virtual clothing try-on prototype utilizes image capture, cloth sample extraction, prompt-guided AI image generation, and cloud-based processing to visualize garments on users while preserving facial identity and body posture. Interactive modules including Bubble Pop, Ball Bounce, Clap Firework, and Mirror Avatar demonstrate the application of computer vision for entertainment using natural human gestures instead of conventional input devices.

 Abstract

The present study reports the green synthesis of CuO-SrO nanocomposites using the aqueous extract of Evolvulus alsinoides as a natural reducing and stabilizing agent. The proposed plant-mediated synthesis offers an environmentally benign, cost-effective, and sustainable alternative to conventional chemical methods by eliminating the use of hazardous reagents. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by UV-Visible spectroscopy to confirm their optical properties and successful formation. A characteristic absorption band observed in the 270-310 nm region indicated the formation of CuO-SrO nanocomposites through charge-transfer transitions between the constituent metal ions and oxygen. The antibacterial efficacy of the synthesized nanocomposites was evaluated against both Gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, and Staphylococcus albus) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumoniae) bacterial strains using the disc diffusion method. The CuO-SrO nanocomposites exhibited significant broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, with the highest zone of inhibition recorded against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (22 mm), followed by Staphylococcus albus (21 mm) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (20 mm). The enhanced antibacterial performance is attributed to the synergistic interaction between CuO and SrO, which promotes reactive oxygen species generation and membrane disruption. Overall, this work demonstrates that Evolvulus alsinoides-mediated CuO-SrO nanocomposites are promising multifunctional nanomaterials with potential applications in antimicrobial coatings, environmental remediation, and other biomedical technologies.

 Abstract

Abstract Suicide has become a serious public health concern worldwide, affecting individuals, families, and communities. Suicidal behaviour does not occur due to a single reason; rather, it develops through the interaction of various biological, social, environmental, and psychological factors. Among these factors, psychological conditions have a significant influence on an individual's emotional experiences, thought patterns, and behavioural responses, which may increase the risk of suicide. The present study aims to examine the psychological factors influencing suicide risk. The study focuses on major psychological factors, including depression, anxiety, stress, and hopelessness. These factors are considered important contributors that may affect an individual's mental state and increase vulnerability towards suicidal thoughts and behaviours. The study attempts to understand the relationship between psychological conditions and suicide risk by examining different aspects associated with suicidal tendencies. The research highlights the importance of understanding psychological factors involved in suicide risk and explores the role of emotional and cognitive experiences in the development of suicidal thoughts and behaviours.
