Abstract: The concern of female, one of the basic components of Hasan Azizul Huq's short stories, raises multiple questions on readers' mind contextualizing the biased social treatment and patriarchal distorted dogmas applied to women intentionally. The arrangement is so naturally installed in the society that women hardly can activate their reasonable eyes to see the gap of the truth. Like uncontrollable diseases and natural catastrophes, they are taught to accept the reality knowingly. In order to confirm this smart graded social acceptance, they learn to dwell like demoted wretched creatures, take the inedible and humiliated foods and love to be the puppets of lascivious males of the society. The most striking point is that society rarely concentrates on these loathsome male activities seriously from impartial point of view. In such cases, women are generally humiliated, trampled and pressurized to take all the responsibilities on their shoulders. Nevertheless, they receive no basic recognition as human being, no particular platform to stand letalone the hope of equality. This paper investigates women's unending cataclysmic social status and everyday struggle. To conclude, it analyzes Huq's two short stories titled "A Mother-Daughter World (Ma Mayer Songsar)" and "Hate (Sorol Hingsa)" from a feminist experience.

Abstract: Humans have acquired and processed information for existence by means of different sagacity. Hence, the exploit of different astuteness for information collection, remembering is something, which our brain can recount very well. The process of translating the information into knowledge, referencing and utilizing it, is carried out within the personal mind-based 'mediasphere' structure of the human brain. The human mind can create the most sophisticated animatronics and mediasphere as it can select different thought-based "visual" and "audio" special effects as well as "actors". In other words, the human mind has admittance to unconstrained amount resources for designing the thought.......

Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is helping to deploy various solutions in different areas: independent cars, integrated smart objects, and medical applications are just a few. This article provides an overview of AI and makes two case studies focused on real-world applications. The first case aims to develop robotic prostheses: through the bioelectric signal, it is possible to use deep learning techniques to classify the various movements and reproduce them in a mechanical arm. Development issues should not be limited to technical aspects, and the individual should play a central role in this process. The second study addresses a regression problem where market dynamics are determined with some accuracy. This approach facilitates decision making in predictive models, but it is necessary to create mechanisms that homogeneously ensure competitiveness. The article discusses the technical similarity of each approach, the current challenges, and raises some questions. Although each application has its nature it is necessary to create a solid ethical basis for both.

Abstract: The study focused on Principals and Political Appointees' Conflicts in the Implementation of Educational Policy in Secondary Schools in Ebonyi State. Three specific purposes with three corresponding research questions and one null hypothesis guided the study. The population of the study consisted two hundred and twenty-six (226) secondary school principals and twenty-seven (27) political appointees making a total of 253 respondents. The census population were used as the sample size. Structured questionnaire was used to elicit information from the subjects. The reliability of the instrument yielded 0.75 using Cronbach Alpha technique. Mean (x) and standard deviation (SD) were used to answered the research questions while t–test statistics was used to test the null hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study showed that: Conflicts between political appointees and the principals in the implementation of education policy in the administration of secondary schools....

Abstract: All over the world, unequal access to resources and power is central to discrimination against women in the state, community, market, and even within their households. Correcting this disparity is vital to realize women's right to food. Discrimination in the distribution of food leads to increased malnutrition, which can reduce learning potential, increase reproductive and maternal health risks, and lower productivity. These factors reduce women's economic abilities, undermining gender equality and conning women in a vicious circle of poverty and under-nutrition. Though the position of a girl child has been stressed time and again, yet a wide level of disparity still exists, whether implicit or explicit, in nutrition and child care both in rural and urban areas. Various underlying factors are responsible for this disparity. Girls face discrimination from the moment she born. They are discriminating......

Abstract: This study is distinctively restricted to the concept of the American Dream in modern drama in American literature. The American Dream is the product of the West and the frontier experience, rather than the puritan tradition, because of its essential belief in the goodness of man and nature. The American Dream in Miller's All My Sons shows the father- son relationship and its deterioration in American family. This play '' All My Sons '' represents a kind of criticism of the American Dream. It aims to find out the very existence of the American Dream testifies to its reality. The dramatist Miller in All My Sons criticizes war-profiteers and expresses an overt hatred for them. The hero's sense of social unrelatedness is symbolized by his hedged-backyard. It is divided into four sections, each analyzing a topic...
