Dynamic Capital Improvement Planning Optimization and Its Impact on Long-Term Municipal Debt Sustainability
This study presents an integrated modelling and analytical framework for understanding how municipal debt behavior, capital allocation efficiency, and long-term fiscal resilience evolve under dynamic economic and revenue conditions. The research applies scenario-sensitivity simulations, econometric estimation, and financial performance visualization to examine how optimization variables influence key debt metrics, including peak annual borrowing, debt-service volatility, borrowing spike frequency, and affordability indices. By comparing traditional capital improvement planning (CIP) with an optimized Capital Improvement Planning Optimization (CIPO) model, the study demonstrates measurable improvements in financial stability and infrastructure investment efficiency. Results indicate that optimized project sequencing, lifecycle-cost accuracy, and improved asset-condition scoring collectively reduce peak borrowing requirements and stabilize volatility patterns across mild, moderate, and severe economic downturns. Econometric findings reveal the statistical significance of governance strength as the dominant predictor of fiscal resilience, producing positive gains in affordability while lowering systemic risk exposure. Debt sustainability and capital allocation efficiency emerge as complementary levers that reinforce municipalities’ ability to withstand economic shocks. Visualization tools such as bar-dot hybrid coefficient plots, quadrant-impact charts, and policy impact scoring graphs clarify complex relationships between optimization strategies and financial outcomes. These visual diagnostics enable municipal finance officers to interpret econometric results with greater precision and support data-driven decision-making. From a policy standpoint, the findings underscore the need for integrated planning frameworks that combine governance reforms, transparent reporting systems, and performance-based prioritization of capital projects. The optimized CIPO model illustrates how municipalities can minimize fiscal stress, enhance borrowing discipline, and strategically allocate limited resources. Overall, the study provides actionable insights and a structured methodological foundation for promoting long-term municipal debt sustainability, improving capital investment planning, and strengthening financial governance across diverse municipal environments.

Prenatal and Early-Life Exposure to PFAS and Developmental Health Outcomes
Prenatal and early-life exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) has emerged as a significant public health concern due to their persistence, bioaccumulation, and widespread presence in water, food, consumer products, and household dust. These synthetic chemicals readily cross the placental barrier and are also transferred through breast milk, creating multiple windows of vulnerability during critical stages of growth and development. This review-style abstract synthesizes current epidemiological and experimental evidence on associations between PFAS exposure and developmental health outcomes, with emphasis on fetal growth, neurodevelopment, immune function, metabolic regulation, and endocrine disruption. Recent cohort studies have linked maternal PFAS serum concentrations with reduced birth weight, altered gestational age, impaired placental function, and changes in thyroid and sex hormone signaling. Early-life exposure has been associated with shifts in cognitive performance, attention profiles, and behavioral regulation, although effect sizes vary across populations and compound types. Immunotoxic effects are among the most consistently reported findings, including reduced vaccine antibody responses, increased infection susceptibility, and altered inflammatory markers in children. Emerging data also connect PFAS exposure to childhood adiposity, lipid imbalance, and early cardiometabolic risk indicators. Mechanistic research suggests that PFAS interact with nuclear receptors, lipid transport pathways, and hormone systems, while also inducing oxidative stress and epigenetic modification. Differences in chain length, functional groups, and replacement chemistries complicate risk assessment, as newer PFAS alternatives may exhibit distinct but overlapping biological activity. Exposure disparities related to geography, socioeconomic status, and drinking water sources further influence outcome patterns and raise environmental justice concerns. Overall, the weight of evidence indicates that prenatal and early-life PFAS exposure is plausibly linked to multiple adverse developmental outcomes, even at relatively low concentrations. However, heterogeneity in study design, exposure measurement, and mixture effects limits causal inference. Future research priorities include longitudinal multi-exposure modeling, improved biomonitoring, mechanistic clarification, and evaluation of regulatory interventions to reduce exposure during sensitive developmental periods. Stronger harmonized methods and precautionary policy action are therefore essential to protect maternal and child health worldwide, with coordinated surveillance, transparent reporting, and safer chemical substitution strategies across industries and public water systems in the coming decade and beyond globally now.

Leveraging Real-World Evidence (RWE) and Advanced Analytics to Improve Drug Utilization in U.S Health Systems
The rising cost of pharmaceuticals, increasing complexity of therapeutic regimens, expansion of specialty drugs, and persistent variability in prescribing patterns have intensified the need for data-driven optimization of drug utilization in U.S. health systems. Real-world evidence (RWE), derived from electronic health records (EHRs), claims databases, registries, and patient-reported outcomes, has emerged as a transformative tool for evaluating treatment effectiveness, safety, adherence, and value in routine clinical practice. Concurrently, advances in analytics including machine learning, predictive modeling, natural language processing, and causal inference methods have enhanced the ability to extract actionable insights from large, heterogeneous healthcare datasets. This paper synthesizes contemporary literature to examine how RWE and advanced analytics can be leveraged to improve drug utilization within U.S. health systems. It reviews methodological foundations, data infrastructure, regulatory perspectives, real-world applications in formulary management and medication safety, and the integration of analytics into clinical decision support systems. The study further explores implementation challenges, including data quality, bias, governance, interoperability, and ethical considerations. By consolidating developments in RWE methodologies and advanced analytics, the paper proposes a structured perspective on optimizing medication use, enhancing patient outcomes, and improving cost-effectiveness in complex health system environments.
Comparative Analysis of Global Teacher Education Models: A Critical Examination of Finland and Singapore in the Context of Educational Excellence and Systemic Reform
Teacher education is widely acknowledged as the cornerstone of educational quality and national development. Among high-performing global education systems, Finland and Singapore consistently demonstrate exceptional outcomes in international assessments such as the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). Despite achieving comparable levels of student performance, these nations operate under markedly different philosophical, institutional, and governance frameworks. This paper provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of teacher education models in Finland and Singapore, examining their historical evolution, philosophical foundations, recruitment and selection processes, structure of initial teacher preparation, professional autonomy, accountability systems, career progression models, integration of technology, and alignment with international benchmarks. Drawing upon theoretical constructs including Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK), Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK), and professional capital theory, the study highlights both convergence and divergence in policy logic. The analysis concludes that while Finland exemplifies a trust-based, research-oriented autonomy model, Singapore represents a centralized meritocratic accountability model. Both systems underscore the importance of rigorous selection, sustained professional development, coherent governance, and social respect for teachers as essential conditions for educational excellence.
Economic Conditions of Marginal and Small Farmers in Uttar Pradesh: An Analytical Study
Agriculture remains the backbone of rural livelihoods in Uttar Pradesh, where marginal and small farmers account for more than 85 percent of operational landholdings (Government of India, 2015). Despite their numerical dominance, these farmers continue to experience structural economic vulnerability due to fragmented landholdings, high input costs, limited access to institutional credit, price volatility, and inadequate market infrastructure. The present empirical study investigates the economic conditions of marginal and small farmers in Bijua and Palia blocks of Lakhimpur Kheri district, Uttar Pradesh, based on primary data collected from a sample of 50 farmers selected through purposive sampling across selected villages of these two blocks. The study analyses key economic indicators, including landholding size, cropping pattern, cost of cultivation, annual household income, sources of credit, indebtedness levels, access to government schemes, irrigation facilities, and marketing channels. Descriptive statistical tools such as mean, percentage distribution, and comparative income analysis were used to interpret the data. The findings reveal that the majority of respondents in Bijua and Palia operate on holdings below 2 hectares, with wheat, paddy, and sugarcane being the dominant crops cultivated in these agriculturally significant regions. Rising input costs—particularly for fertilizers, seeds, diesel, and labour—have substantially reduced net farm income, consistent with national trends observed in rural financial surveys (NABARD, 2018). A significant proportion of respondents from both Bijua and Palia reported dependence on informal credit sources due to delays and procedural barriers in accessing institutional loans, supporting evidence from NSSO reports on agricultural indebtedness (NSSO, 2013). Marketing inefficiencies, including reliance on local traders, mandi-level intermediaries, and inadequate storage facilities, further weaken farmers’ bargaining power and price realization, echoing broader concerns raised in policy discussions on agricultural marketing reforms (Chand, 2017). To cope with income instability, many households supplement farm income through dairy activities, wage labour, small-scale trading, or seasonal migration. The study highlights that improving institutional credit penetration in Bijua and Palia, strengthening Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), promoting cost-effective and climate-resilient farming practices, and enhancing rural market infrastructure are critical policy measures to improve income stability and reduce economic distress among marginal and small farmers in Lakhimpur Kheri district.

Conceptual Model Linking Leading Safety Signals to Sustained Injury-Free Project Performance
The dynamic nature of high-hazard project environments necessitates proactive approaches to safety management that move beyond reactive incident reporting. This study presents a conceptual model linking leading safety signals to sustained injury-free project performance, emphasizing the mechanisms through which early detection of safety risks can prevent accidents and reinforce operational safety culture. Leading safety signals are defined as observable, measurable indicators of potential hazards or unsafe behaviors that precede adverse events. The model integrates multi-level factors, including individual behaviors, team interactions, and organizational systems, highlighting how early interventions at each level can cumulatively reduce the likelihood of injuries. Central to the model is the interaction between safety leadership, behavioral vigilance, and systemic feedback loops, which collectively translate early warning signals into actionable safety improvements. The framework identifies pathways through which frontline reporting, near-miss analysis, and safety observations inform adaptive strategies, enabling real-time risk mitigation. Furthermore, the model emphasizes the importance of operational discipline, continuous learning, and reinforcement mechanisms to ensure that safety gains are sustained throughout the project lifecycle. The conceptual model provides a foundation for empirical testing across diverse industrial contexts, offering opportunities to develop quantitative indicators for leading safety signals and their influence on long-term safety outcomes. It also informs the design of safety management systems that prioritize predictive, rather than solely reactive, approaches to hazard control. By linking early safety signals to measurable improvements in injury-free performance, the model contributes to the broader literature on behavioral safety, project safety governance, and organizational learning. This framework holds strategic value for project managers, safety professionals, and policymakers seeking to enhance safety performance and embed a culture of continuous improvement in high-risk operational settings.

Margin Erosion Analysis in Consumer-Packaged Goods Supply Chains: Drivers, Impacts, and Strategic Responses
Margin erosion in Consumer-Packaged Goods (CPG) supply chains has intensified due to structural cost volatility, global disruptions, sustainability transitions, digital transformation investments, and evolving consumer behaviors. While prior research examines these forces independently, limited scholarship integrates them into a unified profitability framework. This study addresses that gap by proposing the Integrated Margin Erosion Dynamics (IMED) Framework, which conceptualizes margin erosion as a systemic outcome of five interacting domains: cost pressures, disruption exposure, sustainability transition burdens, digital transformation investments, and consumer-driven volatility. Using an evidence-informed conceptual synthesis methodology, the study maps causal pathways linking operational drivers to financial outcomes. The findings suggest that margin erosion is not merely a function of cost inflation but a multi-layered structural phenomenon requiring coordinated strategic responses. The IMED framework offers both theoretical advancement and managerial guidance by aligning mitigation levers with distinct erosion mechanisms. The study concludes that sustainable margin resilience depends on integration quality, predictive analytics, collaborative governance, and lifecycle-based profitability management. Future research should empirically validate the IMED constructs using longitudinal firm-level data.

An Integrated Resilience and Life Skills (IRLS) Framework for Adolescent Development: Synthesizing Theory, Practice, and Digital Innovation
Adolescence is a critical developmental period marked by heightened exposure to academic, social, identity-related, and digital stressors, with enduring implications for mental health and well-being. Although scholarship on adolescent well-being, resilience, and life skills has expanded substantially, these literatures remain conceptually fragmented, limiting understanding of how teachable competencies support adaptive development. This paper introduces the Integrated Resilience and Life Skills (IRLS) Framework, an integrative conceptual model that clarifies the mechanisms linking life skills, coping processes, resilience, and well-being in adolescence, while explicitly incorporating digital literacy as a developmentally salient competency. Using a structured narrative (integrative) review and theory-synthesis approach, peer-reviewed literature published between 2000 and 2025 on adolescent well-being, resilience, life skills, coping, and digital literacy was examined to identify recurring constructs and relational patterns. The synthesis identified emotional regulation, problem-solving, decision-making, and interpersonal communication as core, modifiable life skills supporting adaptive coping, with enactment shaped by external supports across family, school, peer, and community systems. Digital literacy emerged as a cross-cutting competency moderating how adolescents apply cognitive, emotional, and social skills in digitally mediated contexts. The IRLS Framework advances existing models by specifying skill-based mechanisms of resilience and situating adolescent development within contemporary digital environments, providing a unifying structure to guide future research, intervention design, and policy efforts, while underscoring the need for longitudinal and cross-cultural empirical validation.
Translating Healthcare Infrastructure Investment into Measurable Population Health and Diagnostic Outcomes
Healthcare infrastructure investment is widely promoted as a catalyst for improved population health, diagnostic accuracy, and system resilience, yet translating capital expenditure into measurable health outcomes remains uneven, particularly in low- and middle-income settings. This paper examines the mechanisms through which investments in hospitals, laboratories, imaging centers, and digital health infrastructure influence diagnostic performance, service accessibility, and population-level health indicators. Using an integrative synthesis of health systems literature, infrastructure planning studies, and outcome-based evaluation frameworks, the study analyzes the causal pathways linking physical assets to clinical and public health gains. Key dimensions explored include facility functionality, technology utilization, workforce readiness, maintenance regimes, and governance arrangements that mediate the infrastructure–outcome relationship. The analysis highlights that infrastructure investments yield limited impact when decoupled from human capacity development, clinical workflow integration, and data-driven performance monitoring. Conversely, projects that align capital planning with epidemiological priorities, referral networks, and quality assurance systems demonstrate stronger associations with early diagnosis, reduced service delays, and improved treatment outcomes. The paper further discusses methodological challenges in attributing population health changes to infrastructure spending, including time lags, confounding socioeconomic factors, and weak health information systems. To address these challenges, a results-oriented framework is proposed that embeds measurable diagnostic and population health indicators into infrastructure investment cycles, from planning and design through commissioning and operation. The framework emphasizes outcome-based business cases, baseline data collection, continuous monitoring, and feedback loops linking infrastructure performance to health system goals. By shifting the focus from asset delivery to outcome realization, this study provides practical guidance for policymakers, development partners, and health planners seeking to maximize the health returns of infrastructure investments. The findings support more accountable, evidence-informed investment strategies that strengthen diagnostic capacity, improve equity in access to care, and translate healthcare infrastructure spending into demonstrable, sustainable population health improvements across diverse health system contexts. Such alignment enables decision makers to prioritize investments that deliver timely diagnostics, support preventive care, enhance system learning, and build public trust, while ensuring scarce resources contribute directly to measurable health impact, long-term sustainability, and resilient service delivery under demographic change, fiscal pressure, and emerging disease threats globally today worldwide.
Strategic Management Practices and Innovation Dynamics: Examining Their Influence on Organisational Behaviour and Customer Satisfaction in Contemporary Organizations
In an increasingly competitive and dynamic business environment, strategic management practices and innovation dynamics have emerged as critical determinants of organizational effectiveness and long-term sustainability. Contemporary organizations are required to continuously align strategic intent with innovative capabilities in order to respond effectively to changing market conditions, technological advancements, and evolving customer expectations. This study examines the influence of strategic management practices—such as strategic planning, leadership orientation, resource allocation, and performance management—on innovation dynamics, and investigates how these interactions shape organisational behaviour and customer satisfaction in modern organizational contexts. The study conceptualizes innovation dynamics as a multidimensional construct encompassing product, process, and service innovation, as well as the organization’s capacity for continuous learning and adaptation. Strategic management practices are posited to play a central role in fostering an innovation-supportive environment by encouraging employee engagement, knowledge sharing, and adaptive behaviours. Through effective strategic alignment and supportive leadership, organizations can cultivate positive organisational behaviour manifested in enhanced job satisfaction, commitment, collaboration, and innovative work behaviour. These behavioural outcomes, in turn, are expected to influence the quality of service delivery and customer experiences. From a customer-centric perspective, the study highlights that innovation driven by strategic management practices contributes to improved service quality, responsiveness, and value creation, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction. Organizations that integrate innovation into their strategic frameworks are better positioned to anticipate customer needs, personalize offerings, and maintain consistent service standards. The study also acknowledges that contextual factors such as organizational culture, leadership style, and market dynamics may moderate the relationships among strategic management practices, innovation dynamics, organisational behaviour, and customer satisfaction. This study provides an integrative perspective on the interrelationships between strategy, innovation, human behaviour, and customer outcomes. By linking strategic management practices with innovation dynamics and their behavioural and customer-level implications, the study contributes to the literature on strategic management and organizational behaviour while offering practical insights for managers seeking to enhance both internal effectiveness and customer satisfaction in contemporary organizations.
Examining the Role of Spiritual Well-Being and Employee Engagement in the Relationship between Strategic Management, Innovation, and Customer Satisfaction in the Management Sector
In the contemporary management sector, organisations are increasingly required to balance strategic efficiency, continuous innovation, and human-centred practices to achieve sustainable customer satisfaction. While strategic management and innovation are widely recognised as key drivers of organisational success, the mechanisms through which these factors influence customer satisfaction remain insufficiently explored. This study examines the role of spiritual well-being and employee engagement as critical mediating variables in the relationship between strategic management practices, innovation capability, and customer satisfaction within the management sector. Strategic management practices, including strategic planning, leadership orientation, and resource alignment, provide organizational direction and operational coherence, whereas innovation capability enables adaptability, learning, and value creation. The study posits that these strategic and innovative factors contribute to enhanced customer satisfaction indirectly by fostering employees’ spiritual well-being—characterized by a sense of purpose, meaning, inner fulfillment, and alignment between personal and organizational values—and by strengthening employee engagement. Employees who experience higher levels of spiritual well-being are more likely to exhibit positive attitudes, resilience, and commitment, which in turn enhance their cognitive, emotional, and behavioural engagement at work. Drawing on theories from strategic management, organisational behaviour, and workplace spirituality, the study proposes an integrated framework in which spiritual well-being and employee engagement jointly mediate the relationship between strategy, innovation, and customer satisfaction. Engaged and spiritually fulfilled employees are more likely to demonstrate customer-oriented behaviour, deliver high-quality services, and build trust-based relationships with customers. These behaviours significantly enhance service quality, customer experience, and overall customer satisfaction. By integrating strategic, innovative, and spiritual dimensions, this study contributes to the literature by highlighting the importance of human and value-based mechanisms in achieving customer satisfaction in the management sector. The findings are expected to offer valuable insights for managers and practitioners seeking to enhance customer satisfaction by fostering spiritual well-being and employee engagement alongside strategic management and innovation initiatives.
शिक्षक प्रशिक्षण कार्यक्रमों के संदर्भ में प्रशिक्षु शिक्षकों की बाल अधिकारों के प्रति जागरूकता का विश्लेषणात्मक अध्ययन
प्रस्तुत शोध पत्र शिक्षक प्रशिक्षण कार्यक्रमों के अंतर्गत प्रशिक्षु शिक्षकों में बाल अधिकारों के प्रति जागरूकता के स्तर का विश्लेषण करने का प्रयास करता है। वर्तमान सामाजिक-शैक्षिक परिदृश्य में बाल अधिकार—विशेषतः संरक्षण, परिपोषण, विकास और सहभागिता से संबंधित अधिकार—अत्यंत प्रासंगिक हो गए हैं, क्योंकि बच्चों के शोषण, उपेक्षा और असमानता की घटनाएँ निरंतर सामने आ रही हैं। ऐसे परिप्रेक्ष्य में शिक्षक न केवल शैक्षणिक मार्गदर्शक होते हैं, बल्कि बाल अधिकारों के संवाहक और रक्षक की भी महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाते हैं। इस अध्ययन में वर्णनात्मक सर्वेक्षण पद्धति का उपयोग किया गया। नमूने के रूप में 300 प्रशिक्षु शिक्षकों का चयन सरकारी DIET, निजी बी.एड. महाविद्यालयों तथा विश्वविद्यालयों के शिक्षा विभागों से स्तरीकृत यादृच्छिक नमूना विधि द्वारा किया गया। आँकड़ों के संकलन हेतु बाल अधिकारों से संबंधित ज्ञान, दृष्टिकोण एवं व्यवहार को मापने वाली मानकीकृत प्रश्नावली का प्रयोग किया गया। प्राप्त आँकड़ों के विश्लेषण के लिए Mean, Standard Deviation, t-test तथा ANOVA जैसी सांख्यिकीय तकनीकों का उपयोग किया गया। अध्ययन के निष्कर्षों से यह ज्ञात हुआ कि अधिकांश प्रशिक्षु शिक्षकों में बाल अधिकारों के प्रति जागरूकता का स्तर मध्यम पाया गया। लिंग, भौगोलिक क्षेत्र तथा प्रशिक्षण संस्थान के प्रकार के आधार पर जागरूकता में सांख्यिकीय रूप से महत्वपूर्ण अंतर दृष्टिगोचर हुए। महिला प्रशिक्षु शिक्षकों तथा विश्वविद्यालय स्तर के प्रशिक्षण प्राप्त करने वालों में अपेक्षाकृत अधिक जागरूकता पाई गई। अध्ययन यह संकेत देता है कि शिक्षक प्रशिक्षण पाठ्यक्रमों में बाल अधिकारों की व्यवहारिक एवं अनुप्रयोगात्मक शिक्षा को सुदृढ़ किए जाने की आवश्यकता है, जिससे भावी शिक्षक बच्चों के अधिकारों की प्रभावी रक्षा कर सकें।
अस्तित्व की खोज में ट्रांसजेंडर: एक विश्लेषणात्मक अध्ययन (इंदौर जिले के विशेष संदर्भ में)
प्रस्तुत शोध-पत्र इंदौर जिले में निवासरत ट्रांसजेंडर समुदाय की सामाजिक, आर्थिक, सांस्कृतिक एवं मनोवैज्ञानिक स्थिति का विश्लेषणात्मक अध्ययन प्रस्तुत करता है। ट्रांसजेंडर समुदाय भारतीय समाज का वह हाशिये पर स्थित वर्ग है जो ऐतिहासिक रूप से सामाजिक बहिष्कार, भेदभाव, हिंसा, पहचान संकट एवं आर्थिक असुरक्षा का सामना करता आया है। आधुनिक संवैधानिक एवं कानूनी सुधारों के बावजूद यह समुदाय आज भी पूर्ण सामाजिक स्वीकृति एवं गरिमापूर्ण जीवन से वंचित है। इस अध्ययन का मुख्य उद्देश्य इंदौर जिले में ट्रांसजेंडर व्यक्तियों के अस्तित्व संकट, पहचान संघर्ष, पारिवारिक एवं सामाजिक स्वीकृति के स्तर तथा उनके सामुदायिक जीवन के वास्तविक अनुभवों को समझना है। शोध में प्राथमिक एवं द्वितीयक दोनों प्रकार के आंकड़ों का उपयोग किया गया है। प्राथमिक आंकड़े साक्षात्कार विधि, गूगल प्रश्नावली एवं अवलोकन के माध्यम से 300 ट्रांसजेंडर उत्तरदाताओं से संकलित किए गए हैं, जबकि द्वितीयक स्रोतों में सरकारी रिपोर्ट, शोध-पत्र, पुस्तकें एवं नीति दस्तावेज सम्मिलित हैं। अध्ययन से यह स्पष्ट होता है कि इंदौर जिले में ट्रांसजेंडर समुदाय में शिक्षा एवं जागरूकता का स्तर धीरे-धीरे बढ़ रहा है, परंतु सामाजिक स्वीकृति, स्थायी रोजगार, स्वास्थ्य सेवाओं की पहुंच एवं पारिवारिक समर्थन की भारी कमी बनी हुई है। अनेक ट्रांसजेंडर व्यक्ति परिवार द्वारा त्याग दिए जाने, सामाजिक अपमान, आर्थिक बहिष्कार एवं मानसिक तनाव से ग्रसित पाए गए। शोध निष्कर्ष यह प्रतिपादित करता है कि ट्रांसजेंडर समुदाय के अस्तित्व की खोज तभी सार्थक हो सकती है जब समाज, परिवार एवं शासन–प्रशासन मिलकर समानता, गरिमा एवं मानवाधिकारों की वास्तविक स्थापना करें।
भारतीय संस्कृति एवं आधुनिक भारतीय समाज में विवाह पूर्व परामर्श की आवश्यकता
भारतीय समाज में विवाह को केवल दो व्यक्तियों का निजी संबंध नहीं, बल्कि एक सामाजिक, सांस्कृतिक एवं नैतिक संस्था माना गया है। पारंपरिक भारतीय संस्कृति में विवाह को संस्कार के रूप में स्वीकार किया गया, जहाँ परिवार, समाज और धर्म की महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका रही है। किंतु आधुनिक भारतीय समाज में औद्योगीकरण, शहरीकरण, शिक्षा, वैश्वीकरण, व्यक्तिगत स्वतंत्रता और बदलती जीवन-शैली के कारण विवाह की प्रकृति में व्यापक परिवर्तन दृष्टिगत हो रहे हैं। विवाह विच्छेद, पारिवारिक कलह, घरेलू हिंसा, भावनात्मक असंतोष एवं मानसिक तनाव जैसी समस्याएँ निरंतर बढ़ रही हैं। इन बदलती सामाजिक परिस्थितियों में विवाह पूर्व परामर्श (Pre-Marital Counseling) एक प्रभावी सामाजिक हस्तक्षेप के रूप में उभर रहा है। यह परामर्श संभावित दंपत्तियों को विवाह से पूर्व भावनात्मक, मनोवैज्ञानिक, सामाजिक, आर्थिक एवं सांस्कृतिक पहलुओं पर जागरूक करता है, जिससे वैवाहिक जीवन की चुनौतियों का सामना बेहतर ढंग से किया जा सके। प्रस्तुत शोध पत्र का उद्देश्य भारतीय संस्कृति एवं आधुनिक भारतीय समाज के संदर्भ में विवाह पूर्व परामर्श की आवश्यकता, सामाजिक धारणा, इसके लाभ एवं अवरोधों का समाजशास्त्रीय विश्लेषण करना है। यह अध्ययन मध्यप्रदेश राज्य में 500 व्यक्तियों (250 महिला एवं 250 पुरुष) के नमूने पर आधारित है। शोध में प्राथमिक एवं द्वितीयक आँकड़ों का प्रयोग कर तथ्यात्मक तालिकाओं के माध्यम से विश्लेषण प्रस्तुत किया गया है। निष्कर्षतः यह शोध विवाह पूर्व परामर्श को विवाह संस्था के सुदृढ़ीकरण हेतु एक आवश्यक सामाजिक साधन के रूप में स्थापित करता है।

A Conceptual Framework for Automating Reservoir Characterization Workflows Using NLP and Data Integration
Reservoir characterization is a critical process in the energy industry, providing insights into subsurface properties essential for efficient exploration, production, and management. Traditional workflows are hindered by inefficiencies in handling diverse datasets, reliance on manual processes, and the challenges of integrating structured and unstructured information. This paper proposes a conceptual framework to automate reservoir characterization workflows by leveraging advanced technologies such as Natural Language Processing (NLP), data integration tools, and visualization systems. The framework encompasses four key components: data acquisition and preprocessing, text analysis through NLP models, a robust integration layer for harmonizing datasets, and intuitive visualization tools for enhanced decision-making. The framework aims to improve efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration in reservoir studies by automating and streamlining these processes. The paper also discusses the anticipated benefits, including faster decision-making and greater insight, alongside challenges such as computational demands, data quality issues, and the need for domain-specific model customization. Strategies to mitigate these challenges and recommendations for future research and practical implementation are proposed. This framework represents a transformative approach, offering a scalable solution to modernize reservoir characterization and drive innovation in the energy sector.
Enterprise Scale Continuous Security Validation Models for Regulated Digital Infrastructures
Regulated digital infrastructures underpin critical economic and societal functions across sectors such as finance, healthcare, energy, and telecommunications. These environments are subject to stringent regulatory requirements, complex threat landscapes, and rapid technological change, making static or periodic cybersecurity assessments increasingly insufficient. In response, continuous security validation (CSV) has emerged as an approach that enables organizations to systematically test, measure, and validate the effectiveness of security controls on an ongoing basis. This paper develops a conceptual and analytical foundation for enterprise-scale continuous security validation models tailored to regulated digital infrastructures. The study positions CSV as a governance-oriented capability rather than a purely technical function, emphasizing its role in demonstrating regulatory compliance, operational resilience, and risk transparency. Building on established principles from continuous assurance, cyber risk management, and automated testing, the paper proposes a structured framework that integrates threat simulation, control performance measurement, and compliance evidence generation. The framework highlights how continuous validation supports proactive risk identification and enables organizations to align security operations with regulatory expectations and business objectives. Methodologically, the paper adopts a conceptual modeling and scenario-based analytical approach, synthesizing insights from prior research, industry practices, and regulatory guidance. The results illustrate how enterprise-scale CSV models enhance visibility into control effectiveness, reduce assessment blind spots, and support more informed governance decisions. The discussion further explores organizational, technological, and regulatory implications of adopting continuous validation at scale, including challenges related to data interpretation, operational integration, and assurance credibility. Overall, the paper contributes to the evolving discourse on cybersecurity assurance by articulating how continuous security validation can be operationalized as a strategic capability in regulated environments. It offers researchers and practitioners a structured lens for understanding CSV as a foundational element of modern digital infrastructure governance rather than a supplementary security tool.
Realisation of Socio-Economic Justice through the Directive Principles of State Policy: An Analytical Study of Article 38 and Article 39 of the Constitution of India
The Directive Principles of State Policy embodied in Part IV of the Constitution of India reflect the constitutional vision of establishing a just social order grounded in equality, welfare, and socio-economic justice. Among these, Article 38 and Article 39 occupy a central position as they collectively mandate the State to promote the welfare of the people, minimize inequalities, and ensure equitable distribution of material resources to subserve the common good. This paper undertakes an analytical study of the role of Articles 38 and 39 in realizing socio-economic justice, examining their constitutional philosophy, scope, and relevance in the contemporary Indian context. The study explores how these provisions guide legislative and executive action in addressing issues such as economic disparity, concentration of wealth, livelihood security, and social welfare. It critically evaluates judicial interpretations and policy initiatives that have sought to operationalize these Directive Principles, highlighting both achievements and limitations in their implementation. By situating Articles 38 and 39 within the broader framework of constitutional governance, the paper emphasizes their transformative potential in shaping an inclusive and equitable socio-economic order. The analysis underscores that although the Directive Principles are non-justiciable, they serve as essential instruments of moral obligation and policy direction, reinforcing the commitment of the Indian State to social and economic justice in a democratic society.
Directive Principles as Instruments of Social Transformation: Evaluating the Implementation of Socio-Economic Justice under Article 39 of the Indian Constitution
The Directive Principles of State Policy enshrined in Part IV of the Constitution of India represent a transformative constitutional mandate aimed at restructuring society on the principles of justice, equality, and human dignity. Among these, Article 39 occupies a pivotal position as it specifically directs the State to ensure equitable distribution of material resources, prevent concentration of wealth, secure adequate means of livelihood, promote equal pay for equal work, and protect vulnerable sections such as workers and children from exploitation. This paper critically examines Article 39 as an instrument of social transformation by evaluating its role in advancing socio-economic justice within the Indian constitutional framework. The study analyses the constitutional philosophy underlying Article 39 and assesses its implementation through legislative measures, judicial interpretation, and policy initiatives adopted by the State. It explores how welfare legislation, labor laws, land reforms, and redistributive policies have been shaped by the objectives of Article 39, while also highlighting the challenges and limitations that hinder its effective realization. Special emphasis is placed on the judiciary’s role in interpreting Fundamental Rights in the light of Article 39, thereby reinforcing the constitutional commitment to distributive justice and social welfare. The paper argues that despite its non-justiciable nature, Article 39 has significantly influenced India’s socio-economic governance and continues to serve as a moral and policy compass for achieving an inclusive and equitable social order.
Echoes of the Past in the Modern World: Colonial Legacies, Postcolonial Identities, and the Reconfiguration of Historical Thought
The modern world continues to resonate with the enduring echoes of its colonial past, revealing how historical processes of domination, resistance, and negotiation remain deeply embedded within contemporary political, cultural, and intellectual landscapes. Colonialism was not merely a territorial or economic enterprise; it constituted a powerful epistemic project that restructured systems of knowledge, modes of representation, and historical consciousness itself. Even after the formal end of colonial rule, these inherited frameworks persist, shaping the ways societies understand identity, authority, and collective memory (Said, 1978; Trouillot, 1995). In this context, history emerges not as a neutral recounting of past events but as a contested terrain where power relations are continuously produced, challenged, and reimagined (Chakrabarty, 2000). The study situates itself within postcolonial historiography, arguing that colonialism did not merely dominate territories but profoundly restructured ways of knowing, remembering, and narrating the past (Said, 1978; Chakrabarty, 2000). By interrogating the persistence of colonial legacies in governance, education, language, and cultural memory, the paper highlights how history functions as a contested space where power, resistance, and identity intersect. The abstract foregrounds the idea that postcolonial identities are not fixed outcomes of decolonization but dynamic processes continually negotiated through historical narratives, collective memory, and socio-political struggles (Hall, 1996; Bhabha, 1994). It explores how formerly colonized societies engage in acts of historical recovery and reinterpretation to challenge Eurocentric frameworks that once positioned them as peripheral or derivative (Spivak, 1988). In this context, the study emphasizes the importance of subaltern voices, oral histories, and indigenous knowledge systems in reconfiguring dominant historical paradigms. Furthermore, the paper examines the reconfiguration of historical thought in the modern world through interdisciplinary lenses, incorporating insights from cultural studies, sociology, and political theory. It argues that globalization and digital archives have simultaneously expanded access to historical sources and intensified debates over authenticity, memory, and historical authority (Trouillot, 1995). The study underscores how contemporary historical thought moves beyond linear, nation-centric narratives toward plural, transnational, and dialogic approaches that acknowledge trauma, hybridity, and continuity. By weaving together colonial legacies, postcolonial identity formation, and evolving historiographical practices, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of how the past actively informs present realities. It concludes that rethinking history is not merely an academic exercise but a critical intervention in shaping more inclusive, reflexive, and ethically grounded futures (Mbembe, 2001).
