Assessment of biochemical changes due to sub-lethal chronic toxicity in Labeo rohita exposed to Chloropyrifos and Neem oil.
Chloropyrifos, an organophosphate pesticide which is wide used across the state, while on the other hand use of Neem oil as biopesticide is a restricted affair. A detailed comparative toxicological implication of Chloropyrifos and Neem oil is lacking. Thus, this study is conceptualized to determine the LC50 values of Chloropyrifos (Commercial grade named as Dursban) and Neem oil on Labeo rohita (a well-known adequately consumed Indian major carp) and to further investigate the biochemical effects of two sub-lethal doses 1/2 of LC50 (0.021 mg/l) and 1/4th of LC50 (0.0105mg/l) of Chloropyrifos along with ½ of LC50 (22.32 mg/l) and ¼ th of LC50 (11.16mg/l) Neem oil. Among the biochemical parameters tested Serum glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides increased significantly (p < 0.0001) for both the sub-lethal doses of Chloropyrifos and Neem oil for a chronic exposure of 30 days in a dose and exposure dependent relationship but the level of increase is more in case of Chloropyrifos than Neem oil. Total serum protein and Liver glycogen showed a marked decline (p < 0.0001) for both the sub-lethal doses of Chloropyrifos and Neem oil, but the decline is more prominent in Chloropyrifos than Neem oil when exposed for 30 days of chronic toxicity. Overall result of the study indicates that Chloropyrifos is more harmful than Neem oil for non-target aquatic organism like fishes, hence care should be taken to manage contaminated agricultural run-off into the nearby water bodies serving as culture hub of fishes like labeo rohita.

“Senga Snehalatae Sp. Nov. (Cestoda; Pseudophyllidea), A New Intestinal TapewormfromFreshwater Fish Koradi DamofBuldhana District (MS), India”
Senga, a new species of cestode, is described from a freshwater fish that was caught at Koradi Dam. While conductingsystematic surveys in the research area, the parasites were retrieved from the host's intestine. A close look at themorphology showed that the current form differs from previously documented species of the genus due to uniquefeatures in the rostellar hooks, bothria, scolex, and segment organization. Measurements of ovary anatomy, testiculardistribution, and mature and gravid proglottids provide additional evidence for its taxonomic originality. In order todocument diagnostic features, camera lucida illustrations were created. It is confirmed by comparison with other knownspecies that the specimen is a new species of Senga. The discovery highlights the rich but understudied helminthbiodiversity of freshwater ecosystems in Maharashtra. This finding contributes to the knowledge of cestode diversityand host–parasite relationships in Indian freshwater fishes.

Ecology And Diversity Of Vascular Flora in Mural Habitats With Special Reference To Various Successional Stages In Selected Sites Of South Kamrup, Assam, N.E.India
Wall vegetation includes an interesting group of plants growing on artificial habitats like walls which are not only tolerant to different types of abiotic stresses such as strong light, heat, wind, cold, drought etc. but also thrives in substrates very poor in nutrients. Human has started constructing mud, stone and brick walls for various purposes thereby creating a conducive environment for the invasion and establishment of different plants including medicinal plant species. Pioneer species after invasion on the bare wall are replaced by other species in some orderly sequence during the course of time. Species living on rocks, stones or walls are also found to occur in rock and wall crevices where little amount of detritus and humus have accumulated. After surveying of various walls like retaining walls, garden walls, churchyard walls, building walls, fencing wall etc., it was observed that wall flora consists of different species which are at different stages of development and it includes mainly crustaceous lichens, different bryophytes, few ferns species including Adiantum sp., Pteris sp., many angiosperms such as Ficus glomerata, Ficus religiosa, Eclipta alba, Portulaca oleracea, Ludwigia adscandans, Euphorbia hirta, Cleome sp., Ocimum sanctum, Sonchus sp. etc. In the present study, 99 species are recorded of which 8 are pteridophytes and rest 91 are angiosperms. Out of 91 species, 72 species are Dicotyledons and 19 species are Monocotyledons. After the taxonomic analysis of these wall flora, families belonging to dicotyledons that were successfully grown is Compositae with 17 species followed by Euphorbiaceae with 6 species, Acanthaceae with 5 species etc. Out of 19 species of Monocotyledons, the family Gramineae is represented by 11 species followed by followed by the family Commelinaceae with 4 species. As the inclination of a mural site decreases, the number of species increases as the exposure of the sites is very important to invasion of different species in these artificial habitats. Species showing a marked preference for north- facing wall surfaces besides on South, West or East-facing walls because here the humidity and temperature ranges are usually small. There are pronounced and noticeable effects of atmospheric pollution on mural flora and is greatest on lichens followed by bryophytes. The pH values of the substrata which support mural vegetation usually lies between pH 7 and pH 9 in different stages of mural communities. Gradual decomposition of the wall by different agents and factors along with the accumulation of dust, soil particles and organic matter contributes minimum substrata for the development of a plant cover and thereby encourage the process of succession. In this regard, water, nutrient and light act as important limiting factor in development of mural communities in different sites and these dwelling communities possess special adaptations to tolerate fluctuations in the moisture content of the substratum and also to survive in habitats containing minimum nutrient content and sunlight availability. The anthropogenic influence on the communities is also strong which not only invites invasion of new species but may also gradually shift the direction of succession up to certain extent.

Methodological Validation And Comparative Analysis Of Gravimetric, Volumetric, And Von Bayer's Techniques For Seasonal Fecundity Estimation In Cyprinus Carpio In Kasarwadi Reservoir, Parli.V Dist – Beed.
Precise estimation of egg volume and fecundity is central to reproductive biology, stock assessment, and recruitment modeling in Cyprinus carpio, a highly fecund and economically important freshwater teleost. Because common carp produce large numbers of small, morphologically uniform eggs, methodological accuracy in egg quantification directly influences interpretation of maternal investment, spawning potential, and population productivity. Despite widespread application of subsampling-based fecundity techniques, comparative validation of egg volume estimation methods under reservoir conditions remains limited. The present study provides a comprehensive methodological evaluation of three standardized egg-measurement approaches—gravimetric, volumetric, and Von Bayer’s micrometric methods—applied to ovarian samples of C. carpio collected seasonally from Kasarwadi Reservoir. The gravimetric method estimated fecundity through proportional extrapolation of egg counts from weighed ovarian subsamples to total ovary mass, whereas the volumetric method employed water-displacement–based volume subsampling to derive total egg number. The Von Bayer method involved calibrated microscopic measurement of oocyte diameter followed by geometric computation of individual egg volume, enabling high-resolution morphometric analysis. Replicate subsampling (n = 25 per dataset) was performed to enhance statistical robustness and minimize intra-ovarian heterogeneity bias. Comparative statistical analyses demonstrated strong positive correlations among estimates generated by all three methods, confirming their general reliability for fecundity determination. However, methodological sensitivity differed: gravimetric and volumetric techniques provided rapid, cost-effective, and field-applicable estimates suitable for large sample sizes, but their accuracy depended on uniform egg distribution and careful subsampling. In contrast, the Von Bayer’s micrometric approach yielded superior precision in egg diameter and volume estimation and allowed detection of intra-ovarian variability, making it particularly valuable for detailed reproductive and morphometric studies. Seasonal trends revealed peak fecundity during the monsoon (spawning) phase and reduced reproductive output during winter, consistent with environmentally regulated carp reproductive cycles. The findings establish an integrated methodological framework for standardized egg volume and fecundity assessment in C. carpio. While gravimetric and volumetric methods are recommended for large-scale reproductive surveys, the Von Bayer technique serves as a reference standard for precise egg morphometry. Adoption of combined methodological strategies enhances analytical reliability, strengthens reproductive evaluation, and supports evidence-based fisheries management and hatchery optimization in reservoir ecosystems.

Exploring Social Media’s Role In Promoting Rural Destinations: A Case Study Of Thane And Nearby Areas
Rural tourism in India is experiencing a dynamic shift, driven in large part by the growing influence of social media. In regions like Thane and its surrounding rural areas—such as Jawhar, Wada, Dehna, and Shahapur—platforms including Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube have emerged as critical tools for destination promotion, digital storytelling, and tourism marketing. This study investigates the role of social media in shaping tourism patterns and awareness in these lesser-known parts of Maharashtra. Adopting a mixed-methods approach, the research draws on quantitative data from 500 domestic tourists and qualitative insights from 20 local stakeholders, including homestay owners, tour operators, and rural entrepreneurs. The findings indicate that 44% of tourists discovered these destinations via Instagram, followed by Facebook (26%) and YouTube (18%). Post social media exposure, rural Thane recorded a surge in tourist footfall, with growth rates ranging from 150% to 240%. Communities reported a range of benefits, such as increased income, enhanced infrastructure, and expanded entrepreneurial opportunities. However, the study also identifies emerging challenges, including overcrowding, waste management issues, and concerns over cultural dilution. This research adds localized, empirical insight to the broader discourse on digital tourism promotion. It proposes actionable strategies for sustainable rural tourism, such as enhancing digital literacy among hosts, implementing responsible influencer partnerships, and aligning tourism growth with eco-friendly policy frameworks. Ultimately, while social media offers immense potential for rural development, the findings underscore the need for mindful, inclusive, and sustainable tourism planning.

Status Review Of Fish Fauna Of Loktak Wetland Complex With Reference To Changing Dynamics Of The Wetland Ecology.
Loktak Lake – a Ramsar site of international importance – is a key biological diversity site in Manipur, India, being an important feature of wetland ecosystem within two significant global biodiversity hotspots, namely, the Eastern Himalaya and the Indo-Burma Biodiversity Hotspots. The Loktak Lake, a composition of several separate wetlands converged into a single spread of water by artificial regulation of Ithai Barrage for the 105 MW capacity Loktak Hydroelectric Power Project, is currently undergoing changes influenced by physical modifications, siltation, pollution, and eutrophication enhanced by inflow of chemical residue from nearby paddies and pollutant effluent discharge from urban and peri-urban areas. Extensive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides by farmers in peripheral agricultural fields, and their runoff thereof, along with pollutant effluent feed from direct in-flowing rivers like Nambul, Nambol and Moirang has accentuated the pace of degradation of the wetland ecology. A visible example of physical changes taking place is the rapid spread of invasive aquatic plants and weeds which are overcrowding the water body of the lake and posing threat to native species of food and medicinal plants traditionally harvested by local people for food, and for their livelihoods. At the same time, it is observed that fish fauna population in the lake has declined considerably owing to these influences. The paper attempts at understanding the human induced impacts on the lake ecology, the plant and animal lives, and upon the local fishing community by the changes taking place since the commissioning of Ithai Barrage in 1983. The methodology is empirical in design being based primarily on observations in field and through interaction with local fishing families. The suggested pathway is for rapid assessment of the current status of Loktak wetland complex, and, thereto, in finding ways to minimize the changes taking place through scientific intervention and community participation.

Genetic Correlation of exterior and interior Quality Characteristicsin White Quail Egg
This study was conducted in poultry field of the Department of Animal Production -College of Agriculture -Kirkuk University to study phenotype correlation of some interior and exterior specific egg characteristics of white Japanese quail. 60 white quails were used, distributed after sexual maturity to 30 families (male and female per family) placed in vertical battery cages and bred for 12 weeks. Eggs were collected 4 times during 4 periods (every 3 weeks) to evaluate the interior and exterior specific characteristics of the egg. The results of the statistical analysis indicated a positive and significant genetic correlation of egg weight with egg length, egg width, egg surface area and shell weight. Also, there was a significant correlation between egg width and egg shape index, while shell thickness did not show any genetic correlation among all the exterior characteristics of the egg. About the genetic correlations between interior egg quality, the results of the statistical analysis indicated that there was a positive and significant genetic correlation for Albumin high with Albumin index, Haugh unit, yolk height and yolk index, as well as indicated a positive and significant genetic correlation between albumin index and Haugh unit. As for yolk index, the results indicated no genetic correlation between it and yolk weight, yolk ratio and yolk to albumin ratio. As for the genetic correlations between interior and exterior characteristics of the egg, the results indicated no genetic correlation with egg shape index and interior egg characteristics, as well as between Albumin height and all the exterior egg characteristics, while a positive and significantly genetic correlation observed between yolk index and shell thickness. We conclude from this study that there are some genetic correlations between exterior and interior quality traits of the egg, which helps us to understanding the characteristics of specific egg to improve it and increase fertility.

Effect of Probiotics and Feed Supplements on Running Mortality Syndrome (RMS) in Whiteleg Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei, Boone, 1931) Culture in Andhra Pradesh
This study evaluated the performance of shrimp culture in four ponds with a stocking density of 50 m², harvested on the 116th day of culture. Water quality parameters, including salinity (20–22 ppt), alkalinity (220–260), pH (7.9–8.5), ammonia (0.1–0.2 ppm), nitrite (0.1 ppm), and dissolved oxygen (5.4–6 ppm), were maintained within optimal ranges. Microbial colony counts varied, with yellow colonies ranging from 600 to 660 and green colonies from 70 to 180. Pond 1 achieved the highest survival rate (97%) and growth (33.5 g), followed by Pond A (95% survival, 10,374 kg production). In contrast, Pond 2 and Pond B exhibited lower survival rates (73% and 70%, respectively), reduced growth (21.8 g in Pond B), and higher feed conversion ratios (1.5 in Pond B, 1.48 in Pond 2). Pond 2 and Pond B also showed signs of Running Mortality Syndrome (RMS), including antennae cuts, reddish uropods, reddish-yellow hepatopancreas, and pale white bodies, with continuous daily mortalities. Pond 1 and Pond A, however, recorded no mortalities, attributed to the consistent use of specific probiotics. This study highlights the critical role of probiotics in enhancing survival, growth, and production while mitigating RMS in shrimp farming.

Recent Advances In Psychiatric Nursing Practice: A Systematic Review
Psychiatric and mental health nurses play a central role in promoting safety, therapeutic engagement, and continuity of care across inpatient, community, and transitional mental health services. In recent years, rising service acuity, workforce pressures, and increased emphasis on rights-based and recovery-oriented care have driven developments in psychiatric nursing practice. This systematic review synthesised empirical evidence on recent advances in psychiatric nursing practice published between January 2011 and December 2021. Searches of PubMed/MEDLINE, the Directory of Open Access Journals, and Google Scholar identified 223 records. After removal of duplicates and completion of title, abstract, and full-text screening, 29 primary studies met inclusion criteria. Owing to heterogeneity in study designs, settings, interventions, and outcome measures, findings were synthesised narratively. Included studies comprised randomised and cluster randomised controlled trials, observational and quasi-experimental studies, quality improvement initiatives, mixed-methods research, and qualitative investigations. Evidence was organised into thematic domains reflecting contemporary practice priorities: ward safety and reduction of restrictive practices; structured psychosocial and recovery-oriented nursing interventions for severe mental illness; family and caregiver psychoeducation and support; therapeutic milieu innovations such as sensory modulation; workforce-focused interventions; and service delivery adaptations including tele-mental health. Reported outcomes commonly related to conflict and containment, restraint and seclusion use, caregiver burden, medication adherence, psychosocial functioning, continuity of care, and staff wellbeing. The findings indicate a shift toward integrated, relational, and prevention-focused psychiatric nursing practices, while also highlighting areas where further evaluative research is needed.

Artificial Intelligence in Academic Research: Foundations, Applications, and Implications for Research Effectiveness
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in academic research, offering unprecedented opportunities to enhance research processes, improve decision-making, and amplify research effectiveness. This review paper examines the foundations, applications, and implications of AI technologies across the research lifecycle. Drawing on classical AI frameworks including machine learning, natural language processing, expert systems, and data mining techniques, we synthesize evidence on AI applications in literature identification, research design, data analysis, and decision support. Grounded in the Technology Acceptance Model, Diffusion of Innovation Theory, Resource-Based View, and Knowledge-Based View, we develop a theoretical framework explaining AI adoption in research contexts. We identify critical challenges including data quality dependencies, interpretability concerns, and ethical methodological considerations. Discipline-specific applications in management, education, health sciences, and social sciences reveal both promising innovations and implementation barriers. Research gaps include insufficient integration of theoretical frameworks, limited longitudinal studies on research effectiveness, and underdeveloped ethical guidelines for AI-supported research. This review establishes the conceptual foundation for developing a robust research model linking AI capabilities to research outcomes through process efficiency and decision quality mediators, moderated by researcher expertise, data quality, and institutional support. Future research must address methodological rigor, transparency, and long-term impacts on research productivity and quality.

Myth as Cultural Memory: Rewriting Indian Epics in Post-Millennial English Fiction through Memory Studies
This paper examines post-millennial Indian English mythological fiction as a dynamic practice of cultural memory rather than merely a revival of epic narrative, popular genre fiction, or historical fantasy. Drawing on Cultural Memory Studies—particularly the theoretical interventions of Jan Assmann and Aleida Assmann—the study conceptualizes contemporary rewritings of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata as mnemonic sites where collective remembrance is preserved, reinterpreted, and transmitted in response to present socio-cultural and ideological conditions. Situating its analysis within the critical framework articulated by Soni, the paper argues that post-millennial mythological fiction marks a significant shift in Indian English writing from postcolonial historiography towards an inward engagement with indigenous civilizational memory. Through close textual analysis of selected works by Amish Tripathi, Anand Neelakantan, and Ashok Banker, the study demonstrates how these narratives mediate between canonical epic memory and archival reinterpretation. By foregrounding ethical ambiguity, humanizing divine figures, recuperating marginalized perspectives, and rationalizing the supernatural, contemporary epic retellings destabilize singular moral authority and collapse rigid distinctions between myth and history. These narrative strategies align with Hayden White’s theory of narrative emplotment, foregrounding the constructed nature of both mythic and historical knowledge. The paper further contends that the relocation of epic narratives into popular English-language fiction constitutes a process of memory democratization, enabling cultural memory to circulate beyond ritualistic, religious, and scholarly domains. Writing myth in English is read not as cultural dilution but as a strategic act of transcultural memory transmission that facilitates the global circulation of Indian cultural memory while retaining its symbolic core. Ultimately, the study positions post-millennial Indian English mythological fiction as a living archive—one that sustains epic traditions through preservation, transformation, and transmission—thereby affirming its significance as a vital literary and cultural practice in twenty-first-century India.

Culture Performance And Breeding Efficiency Of Jayanti Rohu Compared To Local Rohu (Labeo Rohita) Under Similar Field Conditions
In this study, we compare the culture performance and breeding efficiency of two Rohu varieties—Jayanti Rohu and local Rohu—under controlled laboratory circumstances. So that we could compare growth, reproductive qualities, and early developmental characteristics between the two strains, we kept them in the same environment and used the same husbandry procedures. When compared to the local strain, Jayanti Rohu showed improved growth performance, suggesting that it would be better to cultivate in the field. Jayanti Rohu exhibited increased fecundity, a sign of better breeding efficiency, in relation to reproductive characteristics. Fertilized eggs and newly hatched spawn from Jayanti Rohu were quite small, however the spawn performed substantially better after hatching. When compared to local Rohu, the early stages of Jayanti Rohu larvae were more active and showed better growth during the initial rearing period. When compared to the local strain, the results indicate that Jayanti Rohu has superior growth potential, reproductive efficiency, and early larval vigor. All of these features make Jayanti Rohu a good candidate for use in field-based freshwater aquaculture systems that want to boost output and seed quality.

Impurity Profiling of Antidiabetic Drugs: Analytical Challenges and Regulatory Perspectives
Impurity profiling has emerged as a critical component of pharmaceutical quality assurance, particularly for antidiabetic drugs that are intended for long-term and often lifelong therapy. The presence of impurities—originating from raw materials, manufacturing processes, degradation pathways, or drug–excipient interactions—can significantly impact the safety, efficacy, and stability of antidiabetic formulations. With the increasing complexity of modern antidiabetic agents, including biguanides, sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones, DPP-4 inhibitors, SGLT-2 inhibitors, and combination therapies, comprehensive impurity profiling has become both analytically challenging and regulatory-driven. This review provides an in-depth discussion on the sources and classification of impurities in antidiabetic drugs, analytical strategies employed for their identification, quantification, and characterization, and the evolving regulatory expectations governing impurity control. Emphasis is placed on stability-indicating methods, forced degradation studies, and hyphenated analytical techniques such as LC–MS/MS and NMR for structural elucidation. Current challenges, including trace-level impurity detection, genotoxic impurity assessment, and impurity profiling in fixed-dose combinations, are critically evaluated. The review aims to offer a comprehensive perspective to researchers and industry professionals engaged in the development, validation, and regulatory submission of antidiabetic drug products.

Comparative Analysis of Paddlewheel and Alternative Aeration Systems in Aquaculture: Performance, Hydrodynamics, Energy Efficiency and Biological Outcomes
Mechanical aeration is a cornerstone of intensive aquaculture, directly influencing dissolved oxygen (DO) dynamics, water circulation, nutrient transformations, and ultimately the growth, survival, and health of cultured organisms. While paddlewheel aerators are widely used in pond-based and raceway systems for their robust circulation and DO transfer, alternative technologies—diffused-air systems, surface impellers, fountain aerators, turbine aerators, and venturi injectors—each present distinct hydrodynamic behaviors, oxygen transfer efficiencies, capital and operational cost profiles, and ecological impacts. This comprehensive study compares paddlewheel aerators to alternative aeration systems across laboratory, field, and numerical (CFD) analyses, integrates experimental data, and conducts rigorous statistical analyses (ANOVA and post-hoc tests) using multiple statistical software (R, SPSS, and SAS) to validate findings. Outcomes include detailed comparisons of oxygen transfer rates, spatial DO distribution, energy consumption (kg O₂/kWh), effects on water quality (TAN, nitrite, turbidity), growth performance (specific growth rate, FCR, survival), and the influence on pond ecology. The research provides design recommendations, energy-optimization strategies, and a decision-framework to select aeration systems suited to specific culture species and production goals.

Assessment Of Freshwater Fish Biodiversity And Conservation Status In Selected Wetlands Of Jaunpur District
Wetlands are dynamic and ecologically significant ecosystems that play a vital role in maintaining biodiversity, particularly freshwater fish diversity. This study investigates the diversity, abundance, and conservation status of freshwater fish species across four representative wetlands—Gujar Tal, Chandrawal Pond, Sikraur Wetland, and Hathipur Wetland—in Jaunpur district, Uttar Pradesh, India. Seasonal field surveys were conducted using traditional fishing techniques, and species were identified, preserved, and analyzed using standard taxonomic keys and ecological indices. A total of 58 fish species were recorded, with diversity peaking during the monsoon season. Biodiversity indices such as Shannon-Weiner (H'), Simpson's Dominance (D), and Margalef’s Richness (R) indicated that Gujar Tal exhibited the highest ecological richness, while Hathipur Wetland, dominated by aquaculture and exotic species, showed reduced diversity and high species dominance. Geospatial tools such as GIS and NDWI/NDVI analysis were used to map habitat changes and relate them to species distribution. The study identified multiple anthropogenic threats, including pollution, overfishing, habitat fragmentation, and exotic species introduction. Conservation status assessments using the IUCN Red List and CAMP reports revealed several species of regional concern. The findings emphasize the need for site-specific conservation strategies and sustainable wetland management practices that integrate ecological monitoring with local stakeholder participation. This research serves as a baseline for future biodiversity assessments and advocates for a comprehensive, spatially-informed approach to wetland conservation in semi-rural India.

Green Synthesis And Characterization Of Carboxymethyl Cellulose-Stabilized Silver Nanoparticles With Evaluation Of Antibacterial And Anticancer Activity
Silver nanoparticles stabilized by carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-AgNPs) were produced through an environmentally friendly approach and subsequently examined using UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The UV-Visible spectrum revealed a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak at 426 nm, which confirms the successful synthesis of the nanoparticles. The crystalline nature of the synthesized nanoparticles was confirmed by XRD, and diffraction peaks were characteristic of the planes (111), (200), (220), (311), and (222) of face-centered cubic silver. The resultant crystallite sizes were in the range of 2.4–5.3 nm to support nanoscale dimensions. TEM analysis indicated well-dispersed ultrasmall nanoparticles with an average size of ~4 nm, which suggested the effective stabilization of CMC-induced nanoparticle formation and absence of agglomeration. SEM imaging depicted a quasi-spherical morphology with a consistent distribution throughout the CMC matrix. EDS spot analysis confirmed the presence of metallic silver, while area-scan spectra indicated the presence of carbon (C), oxygen (O), and trace elements linked to the polymer stabilizer. The biological effectiveness of CMC-AgNPs was evaluated against Propionibacterium acnes and MCF-7 breast cancer cells. In antibacterial assays, CMC-AgNPs showed no inhibitory effect on P. acnes at concentrations reaching 1000 nmol/well, whereas erythromycin (the positive control) consistently generated inhibition zones of 35 mm. In contrast, cytotoxicity assessments showed a concentration-dependent inhibition of MCF-7 cells, with an IC₅₀ value of 61.20 µg/mL, along with morphological changes indicative of apoptosis or necrosis. These findings suggest that CMC-AgNPs were not effective against bacteria responsible for acne and they exhibited significant anticancer properties that highlighting the importance of nanoparticle surface chemistry in affecting biological activity.

Structural Precarity And The Ecological Imperative: Socio-Economic Determinants Of Livelihood Vulnerability And Resource Exploitation Dynamics In The Artisanal Fishery Of Bori Tapa Beel, Assam, India
Floodplain wetlands (Beels) in Assam represent critical socio-ecological interfaces, sustaining both significant ichthyofaunal diversity and a substantial marginalized population of Below Poverty Line (BPL) artisanal fishers. This investigation quantitatively scrutinizes the nexus between structural socio-economic characteristics and resource exploitation intensity within the Bori Tapa Beel fishery. Analysing primary cross-sectional data from a robust sample (N=719), we employed multiple regression modelling and Chi-Square analysis. The cohort exhibits profound structural precarity 42.5% (n ≈ 305) subsist in vulnerable Kaccha ghar (temporary dwellings). Regression analysis elucidates that Livelihood Diversification (β = +0.55, p < 0.001) and Secured Housing Status (β = +0.41, p < 0.005) constitute the preeminent positive predictors of Total Annual Income (TAI), underscoring the functional insufficiency of the fishery as a standalone livelihood source. This pronounced economic insufficiency compels intensive, short-cycle resource extraction, evidenced by a tripling of Catch Per Unit Effort (CPUE) during the ecologically sensitive dry season, utilizing non-selective, ecologically detrimental apparatus such as Scoop Nets and small-mesh Gill Nets. Crucially, non-parametric testing demonstrated a highly significant institutional asymmetry: while universal uptake characterized acute consumption relief schemes, structural capital accumulation initiatives (e.g., housing grants) systematically failed to penetrate the 42.5% most vulnerable stratum ( , p < 0.01). This failure perpetuates the structural deficit that underpins and necessitates ecologically destructive exploitation. Policy recalibration must prioritize the remediation of this capital deficit to decouple economic survival from environmental degradation.

Fish Diversity Of Sille River, East Siang, Arunachal Pradesh, India
Arunachal Pradesh situated in the north-eastern region of India, is endowed with rich in fishery resources. A Short survey was undertaken from April 2017 to February 2018 on fish biodiversity of Sille River, East Siang district, Arunachal Pradesh. Sille River is one of the major river of Sille-Oyan Circle of East Siang which originated from Miglung and culminate at mighty Brahamaputra river. The sampling of fish was done from two sites of river using cast net, gill net and with the available local fishing gear and technique. A total of 21 species of fishes belong to 11 families were identified. Cypriniformes dominates with 8 species followed by Siluriformes with 7 families.

Green Sonochemical Synthesis Of Isoxazolidine Derivatives Via 1,3 Dipolar Cycloaddition Of Nitrones To Styrene In DMC As A Solvent
Using three sonochemical green techniques, several nitrones were synthesized from N-phenylhydroxylamine and aldehydes, utilizing dimethyl carbonate as a green solvent under ultrasonic irradiation. These nitrones were then employed in ultrasound-assisted 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions with styrene in aqueous ethanol, leading to the production of new isoxazolidines with high yields (85-95%) and short reaction times (30 minutes), demonstrating complete regioselectivity. This combined sonochemical-green method improves sustainability, lowers energy usage, and offers scalable access to functionalized isoxazolidine frameworks.
Mammalian Habitat Preservation In Innerline Reserve Forest, Cachar: A Conservation Perspective
Mammalian habitat preservation in reserve forests is increasingly important for biodiversity conservation in human-dominated landscapes, with increased emphasis within global biodiversity hotspots. The present study assessed mammalian diversity, habitat characteristics, and conservation challenges in the Innerline Reserve Forest of Cachar District, Assam, located in the Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot. A field-based ecological survey approach was adopted, integrating line transect surveys, indirect sign observations, vegetation assessment, and socio-ecological surveys. The study recorded diverse mammalian species representing multiple trophic guilds, including herbivores, carnivores, primates, and small mammals. Habitat-wise analysis revealed higher species richness and activity in dense forest patches and areas close to seasonal water sources, while degraded forest areas and forest fringes supported lower diversity. Vegetation structure and water availability were found to be the key determinants of habitat suitability, whereas logging, grazing, fuelwood collection, and encroachment negatively affected habitat quality and species occurrence. Socio-ecological findings highlighted the local dependence on forest resources and the prevalence of human–wildlife interactions near forest boundaries. The results bring forth the conservation importance of reserve forests as crucial habitats and ecological corridors outside the protected area network. Strengthening habitat protection, enhancing forest governance, and encouraging community participation are imperative for effective mammalian habitat preservation in the Innerline Reserve Forest.

The Representation of Women in Medieval Literature: A Cross-Cultural Perspective
Medieval literary cultures across regions have consistently employed representations of women as critical sites for negotiating moral authority, spiritual legitimacy, and social order. Yet existing scholarship has largely examined these representations within isolated cultural frameworks, leaving their cross-cultural dynamics underexplored. Addressing this gap, the present study offers a comparative analysis of women’s representation in Western European, Middle Eastern, and South Asian medieval literature, focusing on The Canterbury Tales, The Arabian Nights, and Bhakti devotional poetry attributed to Mirabai. Grounded in a qualitative, feminist-oriented textual methodology, the article examines how narrative positioning, symbolic function, and modes of agency attributed to women are shaped by distinct religious and literary systems. The findings demonstrate that although portrayals of women differ significantly across cultures, they converge around recurring structures of moral regulation, spiritual mediation, and culturally sanctioned forms of agency. Western texts tend to construct femininity through moralized and relational frameworks influenced by Christian doctrine, Middle Eastern narratives foreground intellectual and discursive authority through storytelling, and South Asian devotional poetry emphasizes affective spirituality and devotional subjectivity. By placing these traditions in dialogue, the study reveals both shared representational patterns and culturally specific constructions of medieval womanhood. The article contributes to feminist medieval studies by advancing a non-Eurocentric, cross-cultural framework that deepens understanding of how gender, power, and meaning were negotiated in medieval literary imagination.
