Abstract: This article explicates how Amitav Ghosh’s The Hungry Tide develops a planetary ethic of mourning and care through the intertwined dynamics of grief, translation, and nonhuman vitality. Reading Kusum’s death, Nirmal’s notebooks, Kanai’s struggles with silence, and Piya’s encounters with dolphins, the essay argues that Ghosh reframes solastalgia not as an immobilizing pathology but as a collective condition that generates ethical responsibility......

Abstract: The twenty-first century has witnessed profound shifts in the epistemological foundations of the humanities. As digital technologies, global interconnections, ecological crises, and new biopolitical formations reshape human experience, the traditional humanities—centred on canonical literature, philosophy, history, and the arts—have expanded into what scholars refer to as the “new humanities.” This emergent constellation includes digital humanities, environmental humanities, medical humanities, posthumanities, and various intersectional frameworks that foreground race, gender, disability, and decolonial perspectives. The emergence of new humanities is not.....

Abstract: Introduction: The indiscriminate use of psychostimulants among university students has significantly increased, driven by academic pressure, a culture of productivity, and easy access to stimulant medications. Although intended for the treatment of specific clinical conditions, these drugs are being used without prescription to improve attention, concentration, and academic performance. In this context, the present study aimed to analyze the usage profile, motivations, knowledge...
