 Abstract

Celastrus paniculatus, also referred to as the "Intellect Tree," is a medicinal plant that has long been utilised in Ayurvedic medicine. Alkaloids, flavonoids, and sesquiterpenes found in its seeds and oil give it nootropic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Research indicates that it may enhance mental clarity, memory, and learning, which makes it a possible treatment option for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. It also has antidepressant, anticonvulsant, and anxiolytic properties. C. paniculatus continues to get attention for its potential as a treatment for neurological and psychiatric disorders because of its wide pharmacological profile.

 Abstract

Aphra Behn's The Rover, or The Banished Cavaliers (1677) is a seminal work of Restoration comedy that intricately weaves the themes of love, power, and deception. Set against the vibrant and chaotic backdrop of Carnival in Naples, the play explores the dynamics of romantic pursuits, gendered power struggles, and the manipulative strategies employed by characters to achieve their desires. This article examines how Behn uses these themes to critique patriarchal structures, challenge societal norms, and highlight the complexities of human relationships in the context of Restoration England. Through a detailed analysis of key characters--Hellena, Willmore, and Angellica--and the socio-cultural setting, the study argues that Behn's play is both a celebration of libertine ideals and a subversive commentary on the constraints imposed on women. By blending humor with sharp social critique, Behn crafts a narrative that reveals the fluidity of power and the pervasive role of deception in shaping romantic and social interactions.

Background: Tobacco is a leading preventable cause of death, killing nearly six million people worldwide each year. Reversing this entirely preventable manmade epidemic should be our top priority. Aims: This study aims to access knowledge, attitude, and awareness about Tobacco cessation in the Young Adult Population. Settings and Design: This research design is a Cross-Sectional Study, Qualitative and quantitative to evaluate tobacco cessation in the young adult (17-45 years) population in the urban area of Okhla, South East Delhi, New Delhi. Need of The Study: In this study, a novel approach to Tobacco cessation is considered, in that, emphasis is laid on the importance of knowledge, attitude and awareness towards tobacco cessation and reasons of the failure to quit tobacco. Methods and Materials: This is a cross-sectional study; Data was collected using a semi-structured questionnaire. Randomly selected 400 young adults were interviewed, data analysis was done using SPSS Statistical Software Packages for Social Sciences Software and the result was formulated by applying descriptive frequencies for categorical variables, Chi-square test, and Fisher's exact test. Results: The results indicate that the young adult population is age, gender, marital status, income group, and family size a factor that does not determine whether a person is a consumer of tobacco or not in whichever way. Whereas educational qualification does as a factor responsible for the level of knowledge about the harmful effect of tobacco and the number of quit attempts. Conclusions: This study determines that 100% of the population is not aware of the adverse effect of tobacco usage and it also interferes that there is a large number of the population trying to quit tobacco and many of them failed to do it because of the one or the other reasons, suggesting that there is a need to develop government facilitated programs for tobacco cessation.

 Abstract

Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) is rapidly gaining attention as a high-performance composite material with promising applications in sustainable construction. Composed of a cementitious matrix reinforced with alkali-resistant glass Fibers, GFRC significantly improves mechanical properties such as tensile strength, flexural capacity, and impact resistance effectively overcoming many of the limitations of traditional concrete. This paper highlights the diverse applications of GFRC in transportation-related structures, including bridges, pavements, tunnel linings, and sound barriers. Its enhanced durability under dynamic and harsh environmental conditions such as freeze-thaw cycles, chloride penetration, and chemical exposure makes it a reliable solution for long-term infrastructure needs. Furthermore, GFRC's lightweight characteristics contribute to reduced structural loads, simplify handling and installation, and ultimately shorten construction timelines while lowering overall costs. From a sustainability standpoint, GFRC aligns with green infrastructure objectives by enabling longer service life and decreasing maintenance requirements. Its compatibility with recycled materials further supports eco-friendly construction practices. These attributes make GFRC an ideal material for creating resilient and sustainable transportation systems capable of withstanding evolving environmental and operational demands. The study emphasizes the need for broader implementation of GFRC in sustainable construction, supported by the development of updated engineering standards and innovative design methodologies. With its unique combination of strength, durability, lightweight nature, and sustainability, GFRC represents a forward-looking solution for the construction and modernization of transportation networks. As the demand for resilient and environmentally conscious infrastructure grows, GFRC is poised to play a critical role in shaping the future of transportation development. Conclusions On adding GFRC in percentage (0.5, 1, 2, 3)%, by weight of cement the results are below (7&28 days Strength) Compressive Strength Increases with the increase in GFRC in percentage (0.5-3)% and higher at 1%. Split tensile Strength Increases with the increase in GFRC in percentage (0.5-3)% and higher at 1%. Flexural Strength Increases with the increase in GFRC in percentage (0.5-3)% and higher at 1%. Workability decreases as increase in the glass fiber contents (0.5-3)%

 Abstract

The former Chief Justice of India, D. Y. Chandrachud, heard a public interest litigation in August, 2023. It laid emphasis on the decriminalization of the consensual teenage sexual relationships, with special reference to the introduction of the "Romeo-Juliet Law". Romeo and Juliet are the two main characters from William Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet", which is a tragic love story between two teenage lovers. Renowned amicus curiae and senior advocate, Ms. Indira Jaisingh, who has been assisting the court in the "Nipun Saxena vs Union of India", raised an urge that the statutory age of consent should be reduced from 18 to 16 years in order to prevent "the blanket criminalization of sexual activity pertaining to the adolescents".[ The Hindu, "Bring down age of consent from 18 to 16 years, Supreme Court told", Available at : https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/bring-down-age-of-consent-from-18-to-16-years-supreme-court-told/article69850501.ece (Last updated on July 24, 2025)] Also, it is pertinent to note that the Madras High Court in the year 2019 suggested that the definition of "child" under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012, must be amended. The persons who are below the age of 16 years (currently being 18 years) must be brought within the ambit of the definition of "child" in order to prevent the misuse of this protective legislation and to deal with the actual rape cases rather than burdening the courts with the cases involving consensual sexual relationships. For this, the said High Court also suggested that a close-in-age exemption clause (based on the Romeo-Juliet Law) must be introduced in India which has been already introduced in many other countries since 2007.

 Abstract

Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya (1861-1962), an engineer, statesman, and visionary, played a pivotal role in transforming the princely state of Mysore during his tenure as Diwan from 1912 to 1918. Though widely acclaimed for his industrial and infrastructural achievements, his equally crucial contributions to agricultural development have often remained in the shadows. In an era when agriculture was largely subsistence-based and vulnerable to monsoon failures, Visvesvaraya envisioned and implemented a structured, scientific, and institutionally supported agricultural framework. This paper investigates the policies, institutions, and irrigation systems he introduced to revolutionize agriculture. Through detailed analysis of case studies and a historical review, it demonstrates how his legacy continues to influence Karnataka's agrarian landscape even today.

: This paper explores the relationship between the adoption of Digital Financial Services (DFS) and the financial behaviour of individual users. With rapid technological advancements, DFS--such as mobile banking, digital wallets, UPI platforms, and internet banking--have transformed how individuals manage money, save, invest, and spend. Using primary data collected through a structured questionnaire, this study analysis behavioural changes in budgeting, saving habits, payment preferences, and investment decisions. Statistical tools such as correlation analysis, regression analysis, and ANOVA were employed to examine the impact. The findings reveal a positive correlation between the use of DFS and improved financial behavior, particularly in saving discipline and transaction transparency.
