Level of Stress and Life Satisfaction among Working and Non-Working Women
Stress and life satisfaction are important indicators of psychological well-being, especially among women who perform multiple roles in family and society. Modern women often balance personal, family, and social responsibilities, which may affect their mental health differently depending on their employment status. Working women face occupational stress along with household duties, while non-working women may experience stress related to financial dependence, social expectations, and lack of personal recognition. The present study aims to examine the level of stress and life satisfaction among working and non-working women and to analyze differences between these two groups. A sample of 200 women (100 working and 100 non-working) aged 25–50 years was selected from urban and semi-urban areas. The Perceived Stress Scale and Life Satisfaction Scale were used for data collection. Mean, standard deviation, independent t-test, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient were applied for statistical analysis. The results revealed that working women experienced higher stress levels, while non-working women reported lower life satisfaction. A significant negative relationship between stress and life satisfaction was found. The study highlights the need for psychological support and stress-management programs for women irrespective of their employment status.

Exploring the Influence of Psychological Biases on Investment Decisions among Employees Dr. Harjeet Kaur, This study explores the domain of behavioral finance by analysing the financial decision-making patterns of employees in Amritsar, Panjab, India. Bu
This study explores the domain of behavioral finance by analysing the financial decision-making patterns of employees in Amritsar, Panjab, India. Building on Daniel Kahneman’s perspective that intuitive judgment can often be misleading, the research examines the role of psychological biases and emotional factors in shaping investment decisions. The analysis reveals the widespread presence of cognitive biases, including herd behaviour and emotional influences, in financial choices. Cultural influences have been found to play an insignificant role in the decision-making processes whereas increased concern regarding job security has been found to be a significant factor while making investment decisions. The findings emphasize the need for targeted financial education initiatives to equip individuals with the knowledge required to make informed investment choices. By highlighting the behavioral dimensions of financial decision-making, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of market behaviour and supports the development of more effective financial models.

Mediating Role of Online Trust Between Consumer Ethnocentrism and Online Purchasing Behaviour: Evidence from Uttarakhand
The growth of e-commerce in India has intensified scholarly interest in understanding cultural and psychological factors influencing online purchasing behaviour. Consumer ethnocentrism has been identified as a significant barrier to online consumption, particularly in culturally rooted regions. Simultaneously, online trust plays a critical role in reducing perceived risk and facilitating digital transactions. This study adopts a secondary-data-based research design to examine the mediating role of online trust between consumer ethnocentrism and online purchasing behaviour, with contextual relevance to Uttarakhand. Using a systematic review of existing empirical studies, government reports, and industry datasets, the study synthesizes evidence to develop a conceptual mediation framework. Findings suggest that while consumer ethnocentrism negatively influences online purchasing behaviour, online trust consistently acts as a mitigating mechanism, encouraging consumer participation in e-commerce. The study contributes theoretically by consolidating fragmented literature and practically by offering policy and managerial insights for digitally emerging regions.

घरेलू हिंसा और महिला उत्पीड़न: एक समाजशास्त्रीय अध्ययन
यह शोध-पत्र “घरेलू हिंसा और महिला उत्पीड़न: एक समाजशास्त्रीय अध्ययन” महिलाओं के विरुद्ध हो रही घरेलू हिंसा की प्रकृति, स्वरूप, कारण और सामाजिक प्रभावों का विश्लेषण करता है। घरेलू हिंसा न केवल महिलाओं के शारीरिक और मानसिक स्वास्थ्य को प्रभावित करती है, बल्कि उनके सामाजिक अस्तित्व और आत्म-सम्मान पर भी गंभीर आघात पहुँचाती है। अध्ययन में यह देखा गया है कि पारिवारिक संरचना, पितृसत्तात्मक मानसिकता, आर्थिक निर्भरता, शिक्षा का अभाव, और सामाजिक-सांस्कृतिक परंपराएँ घरेलू हिंसा के प्रमुख कारणों में शामिल हैं। शोध में इस बात का भी विश्लेषण किया गया है कि किस प्रकार समाज में व्याप्त लिंग असमानता और सामाजिक मान्यताएँ महिलाओं को हिंसा सहने के लिए विवश करती हैं।
Eruption and manifestation of love amid the cycle of Hatred: Amrita Pritam`s The Revenue Stamp
The study of love has been invariably a multifarious subject to tackle with due to its interesting interpretations and inferences. Over the ages all the philosophers in all times have tried to interpret the theme of love according to their own ways like as shared love, impossible love, lost love, platonic love, spiritual love, unrequited love etc. in philosophical discussion love has logically a “Nature” a proposition that some may oppose arguing that it is conceptually irrational in the sense that it cannot be described in rational or meaningful proposition. For some critics who are presenting a metaphysical and epistemological argument, love may be an ejection of emotions that defy rational examination. In Greek it has references from Eros, Philia and Agape. Love’s impact on our society and literature is profound. Love is that emotion which is easy to feel but impossible to accept before the society. Amrita Pritam, renowned Punjabi writer, migrated to India from Lahore after the partition of India Pakistan in the year 1947, discussed outburst and exhibition of the emotion of love courageously instead of all social and ethical pressure of contemporary society, colleagues and relatives. Such a courageous woman who did not only express and confess what she felt but also shielded her emotions from all that existing hatred of society.
Designing an IoT network with an emphasis on energy efficiency, utilizing a routing protocol
In the last few years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has proved to be an interesting and promising paradigm that aims to contribute to countless applications by connecting more physical “things” to the Internet. Although it emerged as a major enabler for many next generation applications, it also introduced new challenges to already saturated networks. The IoT is already coming to life especially in healthcare and smart environment applications adding a large number of low powered sensors and actuators to improve life style and introduce new services to the community. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) developed RPL as the routing protocol for low power and lossy networks (LLNs) and standardized it in RFC6550 in 2012. RPL quickly gained interest and many research papers were introduced to evaluate and improve its performance in different applications. In this paper, we present a discussion of the main aspects of RPL IoT applications. In recent years, the advances in sensing and communication technologies have led to the rapid development of various applications of the Internet of Things (IoT). The devices in IoT form an autonomous network architecture, in which the device has a limited battery power and the link has a low reliability. This kind of network is called the low-power and lossy network. In this paper, we propose a routing protocol for low-power and lossy networks. The proposed protocol introduces a novel rank value to construct a proper destination-oriented directed acyclic graph for the source node to transmit packets to the destination node. The proposed rank value is mainly derived from the expected transmission count,. Moreover, we consider the residual energy as the metric for a node to select the proper node to relay the packet to the destination node. We conducted simulations for performance evaluation, showing that the proposed routing protocol improves the packet delivery ratio, especially for the environment with a high bit error rate. The result also validated that our approach achieves the balance of energy consumption of nodes, compared to the existing approach

Study of Plant Parasitic Nematode Species and there Impacts on Soybean Crop Health in India
This study looks into how plant-parasitic nematodes affect the health of soybean crops in a particular area in India. A standardized questionnaire was used to gather primary data from farmers in order to evaluate management strategies, crop harm, yield loss, infestation levels, and awareness. According to the findings, the most common nematode species is Meloidogyne incognita (52%), which causes root knots (47%), leaf yellowing (29%), and stunted development (18%). Infestations were most common during the germination (41%) and vegetative (33%) phases, especially in sandy soils (52%). 61% of farmers experienced substantial output losses (>40%) as a result of nematode proliferation caused by continuous monocropping (43%). Despite the use of cultural techniques such crop rotation (53%) and deep plowing (29%), as well as chemical (Fluopyram, 46%) and biological (Paecilomyces lilacinus, 58%) controls, 63% of farmers were still unhappy with yields. In order to increase soybean output and lower financial losses, the study emphasizes the necessity of integrated nematode control techniques, increased farmer knowledge, and institutional assistance.
Changing Symbolic Meanings in Parent–Child Relationships
The parent–child relationship is a dynamic social bond continuously shaped through interaction and shared meanings. This study examines the symbols used in everyday parent–child interactions and how their meanings change across different stages of life. Using qualitative methods, data were collected from parents and adult children through in-depth unstructured interviews, focus group discussions, case studies, and observation. The findings reveal significant shifts in the interpretation of symbols such as silence, care, authority, emotional expression, and digital communication. The study highlights how generational differences and social change influence symbolic understanding, often leading to miscommunication and emotional distance. The paper contributes empirical insights to family sociology by documenting how symbolic meanings are negotiated and transformed within contemporary parent–child relationships.

Ahimsa, Disarmament and Democratic Culture in India
Western scholars have always been sceptical and have had a myopic view about the genesis and fate of democracy in India. The success of Democracy in India has baffled cynics, detractors, and even genuine scholars. The parameters of democratisation also prove insufficient to explain the genesis, evolution and consolidation of democratic culture in India. The study delves into the Indic concept of Ahimsa, its role in civilian disarmament, and the evolution of democratic culture in India. Western Scholars tend to equate ahimsa with non-violence, but Ahimsa is a more complex concept encompassing elements like disarmament, Mutual coexistence, non-injury, and universal acceptance. There is a tendency among scholars to think of ahimsa as impractical as it abhors self-defence. Ahimsa does not abhor self-defence rather it advocates a strong military state and a democratised, disarmed civilian. The study explores the role of civil-military separation and the subsequent impact on the democratisation process in India.
Intimacy in marriage: A qualitative analysis of Indian married couples
Intimacy influences marriage satisfaction, marriage sustainability, and marriage efficiency. Despite widespread interest in marital intimacy, most study has concentrated on the roles or components of the construct in marriage happiness. Couple intimacy factors are sometimes disregarded. Existing research has primarily relied on transverse study data. There is very little information available on intimate elements in many cultures. There hasn't been a research study that studied intimacy through the perspective of intimate partners. As a result, this qualitative research aims to examine and introduce culturally sensitive aspects that increase marital intimacy in Indian couples.. Using selective sampling, 16 women and men (eight intimate pairs) were chosen to participate in the current study, and information gleaned through semi-structured interviews were analyzed using the consensual qualitative research approach. The findings revealed that the following elements improved marital intimacy: i)Interaction with family members (ii) Duration of time spent in marriage/Length of marriage (iii) Selflessness, Compassion and devotion(iv) Appreciation (v) Working together and participating in activities (vi) Parenting, Child care and Child Rearing(vii) Socializing together/Mutual friendships (viii) Culture and belief systems This study emphasizes the significance of two new characteristics in Indian collectivist culture: selflessness and appreciation. The data are used to examine the implications for program architects, marriage counselors, and clinicians.

यह शोध अध्ययन आधुनिक हिंदी सिनेमा में सामाजिक तत्वों की प्रस्तुति का विश्लेषण करता है, विशेष रूप से जयपुर जिले को केस स्टडी के रूप में लेकर। यह अध्ययन समकालीन हिंदी फिल्मों में सामाजिक मुद्दों, सांस्कृतिक मूल्यों और जनसांख्यिकीय प्रतिनिधित्व की जांच करता है तथा जयपुर के दर्शकों पर इनके प्रभाव का अध्ययन करता है। मिश्रित शोध पद्धति का उपयोग करते हुए, जिसमें मात्रात्मक सर्वेक्षण डेटा और गुणात्मक सामग्री विश्लेषण शामिल है, इस अनुसंधान ने जयपुर जिले के 300 प्रतिभागियों के बीच देखने के पैटर्न, सामाजिक प्रतिनिधित्व और दर्शकों की प्रतिक्रियाओं का विश्लेषण किया। अध्ययन से पता चला कि आधुनिक हिंदी फिल्में सामाजिक धारणाओं को महत्वपूर्ण रूप से प्रभावित करती हैं, जिसमें 78% उत्तरदाताओं ने बताया कि फिल्में उनकी सामाजिक मुद्दों की समझ को आकार देती हैं। मुख्य निष्कर्ष बताते हैं कि जबकि हिंदी सिनेमा समकालीन सामाजिक चुनौतियों को संबोधित करने के लिए विकसित हुआ है, कुछ रूढ़िबद्ध प्रतिनिधित्व बने रहते हैं। शोध से पता चलता है कि शहरी जयपुर के दर्शक फिल्मों में सामाजिक चित्रण के प्रति तेजी से आलोचनात्मक हैं, अधिक प्रामाणिक और सूक्ष्म प्रतिनिधित्व की मांग कर रहे हैं।
Optimizing Forecasting Performance via AI Algorithm Modifications: An Analytical Study
This survey paper studies the breakthrough improvements of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for improved forecast in diverse fields. The paper reviews how changes in traditional AI frameworks have resulted in significant gains with respect to prediction accuracy, computational efficiency and dynamic environmental accommodation. By meta-analysing recent works, we highlight which algorithmic alterations have shown to be most effective, such as hybrid model architectures, attention mechanisms, (multi-)task/trans-fer learning methodologies and interpretability improvements. Our results suggest that these changes have collectively tackled long-standing issues in forecasting, including the management of non-stationary data, the representation of complex temporal patterns, and the measurement of uncertainty. The paper also examines methodological trends across 87 papers between 2018 and 2024, concluding that there is a rising attention to ensemble methods and self-adaptive algorithms. We close by briefly proposing new research trends and unexploited opportunities for enhancing AI forecasting approaches to enable a high adaptation to the specific domain, as well as to make use of causal inference techniques to push the field ahead.
कबड्डी खिलाड़ियों की निर्णय क्षमता का अध्ययन
यह आम तौर पर माना जाता है कि उच्च स्तरीय प्रतिस्पर्धी खेलों में मनोवैज्ञानिक कारकों का महत्वपूर्ण महत्व है। संज्ञानात्मक चिंता की विशेषता प्रदर्शन के बारे में नकारात्मक चिंताएं, ध्यान केंद्रित करने में असमर्थता और बाधित ध्यान हैं (क्रैन एंड विलियम्स, 1994)। दैहिक चिंता में एक व्यक्ति की धारणाएं शामिल होती हैं, जो पसीने से तर हथेलियों, तितलियों और कंपकपी (मार्टेंस, बर्टन, वीली, बम्प और स्मिथ, 1990) जैसे संकेतों से पहचानी जाती हैं (मार्टेंस, बर्टन, वीली, बम्प और स्मिथ, 1990)। जहाँ तक कबड्डी का सवाल है, यह सुझाव दिया गया है कि मनोवैज्ञानिक कारक किसी प्रतियोगिता में और भी अधिक निर्णायक भूमिका निभाते हैं, जो सफल और कम सफल टीमों के बीच अंतर करते हैं। एथलेटिक प्रदर्शन के लिए निर्णायक प्रतिस्पर्धा के विशेष रूप से महत्वपूर्ण समय के दौरान वांछित एथलेटिक प्रदर्शन स्तर को बनाए रखने की क्षमता है, जैसे दबाव वाली स्थितियों के दौरान जो आम तौर पर चिंता के ऊँचे स्तर को जन्म देती है (उदाहरण के लिए, करो या मरो, सुपर टैकल) या अप्रत्याशित प्रतिकूलताओं के संपर्क में आने पर (उदाहरण के लिए, महत्वपूर्ण बिंदुओं पर प्रतिकूल अंपायर कॉल)। इस प्रकार की स्थितियाँ स्पष्ट रूप से महत्वपूर्ण हो जाती हैं जब एथलीट, जो सीमांत शारीरिक और तकनीकी मतभेदों से अलग होते हैं, करीबी मुकाबले वाले मैचों, खेलों या दौड़ में लगे होते हैं। ये काफी हद तक एथलीटों की मनोवैज्ञानिक विशेषताओं पर निर्भर हैं। ये विशेषताएँ मानसिक दृढ़ता और भावनात्मक स्थिरता प्रतीत होती हैं।
From Tradition to Treatment: Examining the Impact of Mindfulness-Based Psychotherapy on Mental Health Access in Jaipur
This study investigates the impact of mindfulness-based psychotherapy on mental health access in Jaipur, India. The integration of traditional mindfulness practices with modern psychotherapy techniques has gained traction in recent years, potentially offering a culturally sensitive approach to mental health treatment. Through a mixed-methods approach, including surveys, interviews, and quantitative analysis of mental health service utilization data, this research examines how the introduction of mindfulness-based psychotherapy has affected mental health access, awareness, and treatment outcomes in Jaipur. The findings suggest that this approach has led to increased mental health service utilization, reduced stigma, and improved treatment outcomes, particularly among populations previously hesitant to seek conventional mental health care.
Indian Diaspora in Australia as Strategic Actor in India-Australia Relations
India and Australia share growing strategic, economic and cultural relations marked by their converging geopolitical and economic interests and expanding people to people linkages. Their relationship was upgraded to the level of comprehensive strategic partnership in June 2020. Their mutual understanding and shared vision of a peaceful, stable and prosperous Indo-Pacific is the staple of their relationship. Among the many factors playing role in their partnership, the Indian diaspora in Australia is an important strategic actor. This paper examines role of diaspora in diplomacy, economic relations, education and people-to-people engagements. An attempt has been made to highlight role of diaspora in shaping bilateral relations and strengthening soft power.
This paper intends to explain and examine the various dimensions/ facets of globalisation, which naturally require to discuss typological traits and trends of each of its variants within the framework of advantages/ merits and disadvantages/ demerits of globalisation. In other words it would be objectively rational and reasonable to review the available literature followed by cost- benefit analysis of globalisation . The overall perspective of this paper is to examine evolutionary trajectory of globalisation and its implications for global civil society, particularly in the context of sovereignty and political economy.

The Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa as Ādi-Kāvya: Literature, Philosophy, and Governance Ideals
The Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa is universally revered as the Ādi-kāvya, the first classical Sanskrit epic, for its seamless integration of poetic artistry, ethical inquiry, and governance philosophy. This research paper re-examines the Rāmāyaṇa as a multidimensional text an aesthetic masterpiece, a treatise on dharma, and a foundational articulation of political ethics. As literature, the epic codifies the earliest standards of Sanskrit poetics using metre, imagery, and rasa, while crafting characters who embody literary archetypes of virtue, loyalty, conflict, and heroism. Philosophically, the Rāmāyaṇa places dharma at its moral core, portraying human action as a negotiation between personal duty, social responsibility, and cosmic order. Through the episodes of exile, suffering, and moral testing, Vālmīki articulates a virtue-ethical framework in which integrity, compassion, and self-discipline guide ethical decision-making.
ROLE OF CRICKET DIPLOMACY IN INDIA-AUSTRALIA RELATIONS
Cricket diplomacy has not only entertained fans but also brought India and Australia together on cricket pitch as well as in their trade, investment, defense and strategic relations. Cricket and culture diplomacy are interconnected and serve as a diplomatic bridge to build people to people contacts. India and Australia share flourishing bilateral relations and are also member of Quad and Indo-Pacific, cultural diplomacy has been an essential part of these developments. Both India and Australia understand the fact that cultural diplomacy can act as shock absorber by maintaining societal goodwill despite divergence in strategic interests. Cricket being the strongest symbol of cultural diplomacy has played and will be playing a great role in India-Australia relations.
Insurgent Activities and Prospects of Entrepreneurship Development in Northeast India: An Overview
This study examines the impact of insurgent activities on the socio-economic development of Northeast India and explores entrepreneurial prospects in the region. Insurgency in the Northeastern Region (NER) has produced deep and multifaceted effects, influencing social structures, political stability, and economic progress. The feasibility of entrepreneurship in the region largely depends on the nature of economic activities pursued, shaped by factors such as the availability of local resources, education and skills, entrepreneurial capacity, access to markets, and support services (Bhaumik, 2009; Das, 2012). Adopting a qualitative research approach, the study relies on secondary data to provide a comprehensive understanding of insurgency-related challenges alongside emerging opportunities for enterprise creation. Findings highlight both the constraints posed by prolonged conflict and the untapped potential for entrepreneurship as a driver of sustainable socio-economic transformation in Northeast India.

Fostering Public Involvement in Decision-Making Through Educational Empowerment
Even though authority is derived from citizens, greater public involvement in governing processes is still required. Various contemporary instances across the world demonstrate how administrative strategies and policy frameworks can be redesigned to promote stronger community participation in governmental affairs. Laws passed with popular support will prove to be more beneficial. The goal of this project is to increase citizen participation in Governance. This paper relied on additional sources such as books, academic papers, governmental publications, and newspapers. This study's findings revealed that constituencies with female MPs developed faster, while corruption in such places decreased comparably. Local democracy progresses when residents have institutional assistance. A 'Panchayati Raj consolidated Fund' can be established in India to support policy efforts for local self-government, eliminating the need for Panchayats to rely on central or state governments for funding. They are increasing the power of administrative authorities to improve educational Governance. These authorities’ operations and evaluation processes must be transparent to the public.

A mixed-method approach was employed, combining quantitative survey data from 200 BPM professionals across India, Germany, Japan, and the United States with qualitative insights from 20 expert interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS v29 to examine correlations between agent autonomy, governance strength, and process performance, while qualitative data were explored through thematic coding in NVivo 14. Findings reveal a strong positive relationship between agent autonomy and process efficiency (r = 0.72, p < 0.05), indicating that increased automation improves performance when supported by robust governance mechanisms. The quality of human collaboration significantly mediates the relationship between automation and trust, influencing both satisfaction and innovation outcomes. The study concludes that a balanced governance framework combined with human-in-the-loop oversight ensures the sustainable and ethical implementation of agentic BPM systems. These insights have important implications for policymaking, workforce reskilling, and organisational design in AI-integrated business environments.
BEYOND GROWTH: THE RELEVANCE OF MAHATMA GANDHI’S ETHICAL ECONOMICS IN TODAY’S ECOLOGICAL CRISIS
This paper explores the profound relevance of Mahatma Gandhi’s economic and ethical philosophy in the context of today’s global environmental crisis. At a time when consumerism, industrial growth, and widening inequality are placing immense strain on the planet’s ecosystems, Gandhi’s vision offers a radically alternative path centered on simplicity, self-restraint, and justice. Drawing from contemporary global data on pollution, climate change, and inequality—as well as examples like the Bhopal Gas Tragedy—the paper critiques the current model of development that prioritizes the wealth and comfort of a global elite at the cost of the poor and the environment. Gandhi’s insistence on meeting the basic needs of the most vulnerable, and his belief that the earth has enough for everyone’s need but not for anyone’s greed, are examined as foundational principles for sustainable development. The paper concludes by emphasizing the urgency of re-centering development planning around the lived realities of the marginalized and adopting a model of economic progress that aligns with ecological balance and human dignity. In an age of climate breakdown and spiritual emptiness, Gandhi’s ethical economics appears not only relevant but necessary for a livable future.ethical economics appears not only relevant but necessary for a livable future.

An Empirical study on the Influence of Smartphone Usage on E-Commerce in India
The rapid rise of smartphone usage in India has fundamentally reshaped the e-commerce sector, transforming the way consumers browse, purchase, and engage in online transactions. This empirical research examines how smartphone adoption influences the growth of e-commerce in the country by analysing the major factors that drive consumer behaviour, acceptance, and continued usage. A mixed-methods research design was adopted, combining qualitative and quantitative techniques. Data were gathered through a survey of 1,000 participants and detailed interviews with 30 industry experts and consumers. The results indicate that smartphone usage significantly enhances e-commerce adoption, with convenience, easy accessibility, and mobile-optimized platforms standing out as key contributors to consumer involvement. Nevertheless, issues such as concerns about data security, low levels of digital literacy, and infrastructural gaps remain notable obstacles. The study highlights the need for improved mobile optimization, targeted marketing strategies, and seamless payment systems to strengthen user experience. Overall, the research adds to the body of knowledge on e-commerce and mobile commerce, offering meaningful insights for businesses, policymakers, and other stakeholders seeking to leverage the growing impact of smartphones on India’s dynamic digital marketplace.
