 Abstract

This study examines the intricate connection between personality qualities and educational achievement in the rise of female leadership in Tamil Nadu. Dispelling the myth that formal education is the main factor in leadership success, the study emphasizes the importance of personal qualities like fortitude, tenacity, and forward-thinking in shattering gender stereotypes and empowering women to advance in the public and political arenas. Based on actual cases of women with less education navigating male-dominated systems, the study explores how personal charm, cultural dynamics, and social expectations impact leadership paths

 Abstract

Cinema as a tool of expression consciously engages itself with its audience from diverse backgrounds. Every individual brings their own interpretation of the film while these interpretations can be generally clustered together basing it on their cultural and ethical landscapes. One of the important factors that determine the meaning of a narrative is the cultural context of the story and so the focus is more on the cultural codes while the film is translated into a different language other than its original. The purpose of the study is to draw attention to the role of cultural codes in determining the localised narrative. The paper contrasts the original narrative with the adapted version to bring out the differences among them. These differences aid in understanding the objectives of localizing a product in the globalised world. The film taken for study is Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park, an adaptation of the eponymous work by Michael Crichton. The study considers the Tamil version of the film against the original English version locating the points of divergence in the context of culture.

 Abstract

This paper examines the oral traditions of the Angami Nagas as dynamic epistemological systems that transcend mere storytelling, functioning instead as vital sources of knowledge, cultural memory, and moral instruction. Through an analysis of selected myths, the study explores how these narratives encode indigenous wisdom related to social responsibility, spiritual beliefs, environmental consciousness, and communal ethics. By situating Angami oral tradition within the broader discourse on indigenous epistemology and communal modes of learning, the paper makes a call for the significance of oral literature as a framework for cultural transmission. It further highlights the central role of elders as custodians of knowledge, who interpret natural signs, dreams, and symbolic actions to guide and sustain the community's collective understanding.

Abstract: Concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials globally, valued for its exceptional compressive strength, durability, and adaptability in diverse structural applications. However, the environmental consequences of conventional cement production--particularly its significant carbon dioxide (CO?) emissions--have driven the need for more sustainable alternatives. In response, this study explores the feasibility of using Calcium Magnesium Carbonate (CMC) powder as a partial or complete substitute for cement in concrete mixtures. The primary objective is to assess the mechanical performance of concrete when CMC powder is incorporated at varying replacement levels: 0% (control), 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% by volume. A comprehensive experimental program was conducted, evaluating key mechanical properties through compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength tests. The findings reveal that partial cement replacement with CMC powder at 30% mixes demonstrating the optimal strength retention and workability. Beyond this threshold, however, a gradual reduce in mechanical performance was observed--particularly at 40% & 50% replacement levels--due to the reduced cementitious binding capacity in the mixture. The primary objective is to evaluate the mechanical properties of concrete incorporating CMC powder as a partial replacement to cement. The study concludes that CMC powder can serve as a viable, eco-friendly partial replacement for cement, with 20-30% substitution offering an effective balance between sustainability and structural integrity. These findings contribute to the growing body of research on low-carbon concrete technologies and highlight the potential of carbonate-based materials in reducing the environmental footprint of construction. Further investigation is recommended to optimize mix designs, assess long-term durability, and explore industrial scalability.

 Abstract

The advent of digital transformation has sparked a significant revolution within the financial sector. One of the most notable shifts has been the transition from traditional paper-based systems to digital platforms. The COVID-19 pandemic further accelerated this change, as consumers increasingly adopted contactless and paperless payment methods. Among these advancements, the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has emerged as a key innovation, gaining widespread acceptance and usage. This study examines the role of UPI in driving digital transformation in the state of Chhattisgarh, with a special focus on the Bastar Division. A total of 150 UPI users participated in the research, and their responses were analyzed through tables, charts, and graphs. The findings reveal a clear trend: a substantial portion of Bastar Division of Chhattisgarh State's population has embraced UPI as a preferred mode of cashless digital transactions.

 Abstract

This paper explores Nhaku, a traditional food-gathering practice among the Chakhesang Nagas of Nagaland, as a lens to understand how indigenous knowledge, cultural identity, and livelihood are deeply interconnected. Nhaku involves the seasonal collection of small aquatic creatures from paddy fields, primarily by women, and is embedded in the community's agrarian rhythm, nutritional habits, and oral traditions. More than a subsistence activity, it reflects sustainable resource use, gendered knowledge transmission, and a collective relationship with the land. Based on interviews with local elders and practitioners, the study highlights the cultural, ecological, and medicinal significance of Nhaku, while also addressing the need to preserve and promote its cultural and medicinal significance. The paper calls for documentation, community engagement, and cultural revitalization to preserve this practice. By situating Nhaku within broader discourses on traditional ecological knowledge and food heritage, the paper argues that sustaining such practices is vital not only for cultural continuity but also for promoting sustainable livelihoods and biodiversity conservation.

 Abstract

ABSTRACT Clade by James Bradley offers a profoundly humane exploration of the intersection between family, environmental crisis, and the moral imperatives of our time. Through the intimate lens of Adam and Ellie, an Australian couple navigating the emotional terrain of infertility amidst escalating climate catastrophe, Bradley crafts a narrative that renders the global realities of ecological collapse immediate and personal. Adam's scientific work and Ellie's artistic journey are not just individual struggles but metaphors for humanity's fraught relationship with a rapidly changing planet. The couple's anxieties about parenthood echo a collective fear for the future, as the novel deftly parallels the challenges of family planning with the urgent need for environmental stewardship. Bradley critiques the modification of nature, highlighting the dangers of viewing the environment as mere resource. The narrative's episodic structure captures the cascading effects of climate change-rising seas, biodiversity loss, and societal unrest-while grounding these crises in the everyday realities of love, loss, and resilience. Ellie's fertility struggles become a powerful metaphor for the Earth's own diminishing regenerative capacity.Yet, Clade is not without hope. Through Ellie's alliance with Amir, a refugee-the novel suggests pathways toward healing that honor both human and ecological interconnectedness. Clade offers a compelling call to action for a sustainable and compassionate future.

 Abstract

The effectiveness of secondary education largely depends on the professional competence and personal disposition of teachers. This study investigates the relationship between teachers' adjustment and their attitudes towards teaching in the context of secondary education. Teachers' adjustment refers to their ability to adapt to the dynamic educational environment, manage stress, and maintain positive interpersonal relationships, while attitude encompasses their beliefs, feelings, and behavioural tendencies towards their profession. A descriptive-correlational research design was employed, involving a sample of secondary school teachers selected through stratified random sampling. Standardized tools were utilized to assess levels of adjustment and attitude. Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and regression analysis to determine the strength and direction of the association. The findings reveal a significant positive correlation between teachers' adjustment and their attitude, indicating that better-adjusted teachers tend to exhibit more favourable attitudes towards their professional roles. The study underscores the importance of supporting teachers' psychological and social well-being to enhance their professional outlook and performance. Recommendations are offered for policy makers and educational institutions to design targeted interventions that foster both adjustment and positive attitudes among secondary school teachers.
