Abstract: Background: Climate change is increasingly recognised as a public health and psychosocial concern, with growing evidence linking it to mental health impacts (Cianconi et al., 2020). While global discourse emphasises physical effects, emotional and social dimensions remain underexplored in low- and middle-income countries (Clayton et al., 2023; Reser et al., 2012). Climate-induced environmental degradation often provokes anxiety, grief, and despair, particularly where livelihoods are threatened (Pihkala, 2020). In Zimbabwe, rural women experience trauma......

Abstract: In British Literature, the theme of love has always existed. But the question is what actually happened to the beloved in real life. Although the poets often put the beloved on a pedestal, did that pedestal eventually turn into a prison for women? In this paper I am going to compare the work of Anne Finch, a woman writer of the Augustan Age, with works of 3 different male poets and try to draw out the difference between their respective perspectives towards women. I will be discussing the following works : “The Introduction” by Anne Finch, “Amoretti” by Edmund....

Abstract: Dance, as a culturally rooted expressive form, represents not just aesthetics but operates as a complex social institution encoding history, identity, belief systems, and collective memory. In India, tribal dances play a central role as mechanisms of social control, ritual communication, health practices, and community functioning. This paper argues that Dhemsa, the principal tribal folk dance of Southern Odisha’s undivided Koraput region, stands as a living cultural.....

Abstract: Traditional Artificial Intelligence (AI) architectures, predominantly based on Global Workspace Theory (GWT) or Integrated Information Theory (IIT), suffer from inherent latency and "processing mass" due to their reliance on linear logic and heavy data-packet movement. These models often are not able to achieve real-time survival reflexes or "Presence of Mind" in hazardous, high-velocity environments.
