 Abstract

The convergence of nature and technology offers a promising path toward sustainable development. The demand for eco-friendly and sustainable technologies has accelerated the advancement of green nanotechnology, particularly in the synthesis of Ag and Au nanoparticles. Mangroves, with their rich phytochemical profile and unique ability to adapt to harsh environments, serve as powerful bioreactors for producing metallic nanoparticles. These biologically synthesized nanoparticles demonstrate notable antimicrobial, catalytic, and environmental remediation properties, aligning well for green chemistry and economy circular principles. Traditional nanoparticle synthesis methods often involve the use of toxic chemicals and energy processes that cause environmental problems. Green synthesis using plant extracts, microorganisms, and biopolymers provides a stable, environmentally friendly alternative. The green synthesis of metal nanoparticles from bioresources derived from mangroves is explored in this review, and it is based on the economic substitutes and environmentally friendly methods of traditional chemical and physical methods. This study reviews the fundamentals, benefits, and latest developments in eco-friendly methods for producing Au and Ag nanoparticles. It also highlights their potential applications in agriculture, water treatment, medicine, environmental engineering, and sustainable industrial practices, demonstrating their role in harmonizing technology with nature for a healthier environment.

 Abstract

This study examines the development and transformation of the bodhisattva concept through comparative analysis of canonical P?li texts and early Mah?y?na literature. Drawing upon philological evidence from the J?taka tales, Buddhava?sa, and foundational Mah?y?na s?tras including the Lotus S?tra and Perfection of Wisdom literature, this research traces the evolution from the historical Buddha's pre-enlightenment journey to the fully developed bodhisattva doctrine. The investigation employs textual criticism and doctrinal comparison to demonstrate how the bodhisattva ideal underwent significant conceptual expansion, shifting from describing the Buddha's past lives to establishing a universal path of compassionate awakening. Findings reveal that while the P?li tradition presents the bodhisattva path as exceptional and primarily retrospective, early Mah?y?na sources reconceptualize it as the supreme spiritual ideal accessible to all practitioners. This transformation reflects broader soteriological developments within Buddhist thought, particularly regarding the tension between individual liberation and universal salvation. The study contributes to understanding how fundamental Buddhist concepts evolved across different textual traditions and geographical contexts.

 Abstract

Potatoes play a vital role as a staple crop worldwide, making a significant contribution to global food security. However, the susceptibility of potato plants to various leaf diseases poses a threat to crop yield and quality. Detecting these diseases accurately and at an early stage is crucial for the effective management and protection of crops. Recent advancements in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have demonstrated potential in image categorization applications. Therefore, the goal of this work is to investigate the potential of CNNs in detecting potato leaf diseases. As neural networks have become part of agriculture, numerous researchers have worked on improving the early detection of potato blight using different machine and deep learning methods. However, there are persistent problems related to accuracy and the time it takes for these methods to work. In response to these challenges, we tailored a convolutional neural network (CNN) to enhance accuracy while reducing the trainable parameters, computational time and information loss. To conduct this research, we compiled a diverse dataset consisting of images of potato leaves. The dataset encompassed both healthy leaves and leaves infected with common diseases such as late blight and early blight. We took great care in curating and preprocessing the dataset to ensure its quality and consistency. Our focus was to develop a specialized CNN architecture tailored specifically for disease detection. To improve the performance of the network, we employed techniques like data augmentation and transfer learning during the training phase. The experimental outcomes demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed customized CNN model in accurately identifying and classifying potato leaf diseases. Our model's overall accuracy was an astounding 99.22%, surpassing the performance of existing methods by a significant margin. Furthermore, we evaluated precision, recall, and F1-score to evaluate the model's effectiveness on individual disease classes. To give an additional understanding of the model's behavior and its capacity to distinguish between various disease types, we utilized visualization techniques such as confusion matrices and sample output images. The results of this study have implications for managing potato diseases by offering an automated and reliable solution for early detection and diagnosis. Future research directions may include expanding the dataset, exploring different CNN architectures, and investigating the generalizability of the model across different potato varieties and growing conditions.

 Abstract

This research examines seasonal and spatial patterns of water quality over the Dindi Reservoir in Telangana using a hybrid approach that integrates Sentinel-2A satellite imagery with in-situ field sampling. Remote sensing-derived indices including the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI), Floating Algae Index (FAI), and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) were used to map surface water conditions across pre-monsoon, monsoon, and post-monsoon periods. Ground-truthing was conducted by taking readings of physico-chemical parameters like temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), turbidity, nitrates, phosphates, and total dissolved solids (TDS) at several GPS-tagged sampling sites. Statistical analysis revealed good agreement between satellite indices and measured water quality parameters, especially for monsoon months when the amount of runoff was maximum. These results present a baseline dataset for machine learning model development to forecast zooplankton abundance and ecological risk areas. This integrative strategy facilitates scalable, cost-efficient monitoring systems for freshwater ecosystems in semi-arid environments.

 Abstract

Hypertension is a multifactorial disease with psychosomatic origin, where both psychological and physiological components interplay in its pathogenesis. From an Ayurvedic perspective, it is not described as a separate disease but can be understood under the concepts of Ucchhr?ita Raktac?pa, Raktavaha Srotodus??i, and Manasika Bh?va-vik?ra. The imbalance of Manas Do?has (R?ja? and Tama?) leads to maladaptive stress responses, which disturb ?ar?ra Do?has--primarily V?ta and Pitta--resulting in vascular dysfunction and elevated blood pressure. This review aims to analyze the psychosomatic basis of hypertension with special reference to the interaction of Manas Do?has and ?ar?ra Do?has.

 Abstract

Prevalence of anemia in India is among the highest in the world. Prevalence of anemia is higher among Lactating mothers,pregnant women and preschool children. Inadequate dietary iron,folate intake due to low vegetable consumption, perhaps low B12 intake and poor bioavailability of dietaryiron from the fibre, phytate rich Indian diets are the major factors responsible for high prevalence ofanemia. In India Iron deficiency is the most common single cause of anemia, the lactating mothers are suffers with maternal anemia this may impact the growth of infants. Major insight of the study is that anemia level of lactating mothers largely differs with the changes in lifestyle variables like food habits and work.

 Abstract

The article attempts to investigate how Bengali Dalit literature reflects the historical journey of the Namahsudra community who were stigmatised as Chandals and their struggle for dignity and recognition. Through the study it also highlighted that how they were doubly displaced, firstly as a low caste which pushed to the margins of the society, and secondly as refugees uprooted during the partition of Bengal. Besides, it also discussed that how the Bengali Dalit literature resist caste-based discrimination and rewrites the overlooked or distorted history of the Namasudra people, particularly through Namasudra authors. The Bengal Namasudra community, earlier referred to as 'Chandals', are a socially, politically and economically marginalized caste from East Bengal who were commonly known as "untouchables." Most of them turned into refugees in India at the time of partition and experiencing double marginalization, initially as Dalits, and subsequently as displaced individuals. Mainstream literature and history have most frequently failed or neglected to project their actual hardships, agony, experience and culture. Authors such as Manohar Mouli Biswas, Manoranjan Byapari, Jatin Bala, Kalyani Thakur Charal, and many more employed the literature as an effective tool to voice their community's words, experiences, and resistances. The research brings to the fore the significance of Dalit literature in the recovery of histories, advancing social justice, and transforming the way we look at caste, identity, and literature in Bengal.
