 Abstract

Dislocations, hardships, and changes that take place when people relocate across boundaries are frequently portrayed in migration narratives. An insightful account of Sri Lankan expats adjusting to life in Australia may be found in Yasmine Gooneratne's 1991 book A Change of Skies. Cultural negotiation, identity, and trauma are all seriously explored. This article uses the dual frameworks of transnational theory (Vertovec; Basch, Schiller, and Szanton-Blanc) and trauma theory (Cathy Caruth) to analyze the novel. As a result of international flows of culture, memory, and belonging, it contends that the novel depicts trauma as a place of reconfiguration of identity rather than just loss or alienation. The difficulties of exile are embodied by Bharat and Navaranjini, who develop hybrid identities that go beyond the distinctions between homeland and hostland.

 Abstract

The AI-Powered Safety Analysis of Cities for Women project aims to address the critical issue of women's safety in urban environments through the use of artificial intelligence and data-driven insights. With increasing incidents of crimes against women in public spaces, there is an urgent need for smart technologies that can assess safety levels based on real-world data. This system uses machine learning techniques to analyze multiple factors that influence the safety of a location, such as the city, area type, time of day, frequency of people, presence of police stations and bars, tier classification of the city, and the residential profile of the location. The dataset is pre-processed and cleaned, and features are transformed using One Hot Encoding to handle categorical variables effectively. A Logistic Regression model is trained using a robust pipeline to classify locations as either "Safe" or "Unsafe" with a strong focus on precision and recall for the "Safe" class. The model is evaluated using standard metrics such as accuracy, F1-score, and a confusion matrix to ensure reliability. Once trained, the model is saved and integrated into a web-based application built using Flask. The application provides an intuitive interface where users can select a city and time to predict the safety status of that location. If a prediction is made, the app displays not only the safety result but also a dynamic map view of the city using Google Maps embedding. Furthermore, it offers detailed emergency contact information, including the names and contact numbers of district officials like the Deputy Commissioner, emergency helpline numbers, emails, and official websites, sourced from a dedicated CSV file. By providing real-time, location-based safety predictions, the project empowers women to make informed decisions about their movements in urban areas. It also offers a potential tool for policymakers and law enforcement agencies to identify unsafe zones and allocate resources effectively. The combination of data science, geographic visualization, and public service contact integration makes this project a meaningful contribution toward enhancing women's safety in smart cities.

 Abstract

अध्ययन में आर्थिक सशक्तिकरण और चयनित सरकारी कल्याणकारी योजनाओं के प्रति जागरूकता के बीच संबंध का आकलन किया गया है। इसके लिए काई -स्क्वेयर परीक्षण का उपयोग किया गया, जिससे विभिन्न आय-स्तरों और योजनाओं के प्रति “जागरूक” अथवा “गैर-जागरूक” होने की स्थिति के बीच सांख्यिकीय संबंध की जाँच की गई। यह परीक्षण प्रत्येक योजना के लिए अलग-अलग किया गया, ताकि यह स्पष्ट हो सके कि किस योजना की जागरूकता किस आय-वर्ग में अधिक या कम है। परिणामों से यह ज्ञात हुआ कि महतारी वंदन योजना को छोड़कर शेष सभी योजनाओं के प्रति जागरूकता और उत्तरदाताओं की आय-श्रेणी के बीच एक महत्वपूर्ण संबंध मौजूद है। इसका अर्थ है कि आय-स्तर बढ़ने के साथ योजनाओं के प्रति जागरूकता भी बढ़ती है, जो यह संकेत देता है कि उच्च आय-वर्ग के लोग सूचना स्रोतों तक अधिक पहुँच रखते हैं और योजनाओं का लाभ लेने में अपेक्षाकृत अधिक सक्षम हैं। यह तथ्य भी परिलक्षित होता है कि जागरूकता और उच्च आय-श्रेणी का संबंध कहीं-न-कहीं शिक्षा स्तर से भी प्रभावित हो सकता है। उच्च आय वाले वर्ग में शिक्षा का स्तर अपेक्षाकृत बेहतर होने की संभावना रहती है, जिससे वे सरकारी योजनाओं की जानकारी प्राप्त करने, उन्हें समझने और उनका लाभ उठाने में अधिक सक्षम होते हैं। यह निष्कर्ष अनुसूचित जनजातियों में न केवल आय-आधारित बल्कि शिक्षा-आधारित लक्षित प्रयासों की आवश्यकता को भी रेखांकित करता है, ताकि आर्थिक सशक्तिकरण का लाभ सभी वर्गों तक समान रूप से पहुँच सके।

 Abstract

This paper examines the indigenous communication traditions of medieval India (8th to 18th century) that played a vital role in many aspects of social, cultural, religious and political life. Studying a variety of communication systems such as oral narratives, folk songs, dramatic performances, scenery, symbolic gestures and manuscript preservation, the research highlights their democratic nature, engagement in social dialogue and flow of cultural identity. The process of adaptation and preservation of these traditions amidst challenges posed by colonial influences is also highlighted. The study highlights the relevance of medieval indigenous communication systems in contemporary society and the importance of their preservation, which is essential for understanding the pulse of Indian cultural heritage and social dialogue.

 Abstract

This study examines the role of males in polyandrous marriages in Tehsil- Moorang, District-Kinnaur, Himachal Pradesh. On the basis of data collected from 20 co-husbands, used to explore their psychological relationships, economic cooperation, and cultural significance within this polyandrous marriage system. The Findings shows that polyandry supports shared livelihoods, preservation of land, strong cultural endorsement and generally low conflict. However, due to education and changing social values younger generations express challenges, signaling a potential shift away from the practice. The study highlights polyandry as a dynamic institution balancing tradition and modernity

 Abstract

Matthew Arnold's "The Scholar-Gypsy" (1853) serves as a poignant encapsulation of Victorian anxiety, weaving the narrative of an Oxford scholar who forsakes the rigid confines of modern society to embrace the free-spirited life of a gypsy. This departure symbolizes a desperate quest for meaning amidst the era's tumultuous upheavals--industrialization's relentless pace, the erosion of religious faith following Darwin's On the Origin of Species (1859), and the fragmentation of social structures. The poem critiques modernity's frenetic energy through the evocative phrase "sick hurry" (Arnold, line 164), reflecting the exhaustion of a society grappling with scientific skepticism and cultural dislocation. Through close reading of Poems by Matthew Arnold: A New Edition (1853), cited by line numbers, and historical contextualization, this study examines the scholar's escape as a romantic ideal--a yearning for a pre-industrial harmony--while simultaneously portraying it as a futile dream, underscoring Arnold's ambivalence toward progress. The scholar's timeless wandering, set against the speaker's resigned envy, mirrors the Victorian struggle to reconcile tradition with innovation. The findings position the poem as a lament for lost unity, offering profound insights into Victorian identity and the perennial human search for purpose in an ever-evolving world, resonating with contemporary anxieties about meaning in modernity.
