Abstract: Background: Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) represents a distinctive approach within creative arts therapies that harnesses the intrinsic connection between bodily movement and emotional experience. Despite its growing application across clinical populations, comprehensive analyses integrating its historical development with contemporary theoretical frameworks and empirical evidence remain limited. Objective: This article traces the historical evolution of DMT from its mid-twentieth century origins to contemporary practice, synthesizes current theoretical frameworks identifying core therapeutic mechanisms, and reviews empirical evidence for DMT's effectiveness across diverse populations.......

Abstract: The poetic voices of Sarojini Naidu and Kuntala Kumari Sabat showcase a powerful blend of lyrical beauty, nationalist awareness, and feminine sensibility in early twentieth-century Indian literature. This paper examines their poetry through a contextual and comparative perspective to understand how both poets explore the interconnected themes of love, patriotism, and cultural identity. While Naidu’s English lyrical poetry resonates with musical grace and celebrates India’s cultural richness, Sabat’s Odia poetry embodies a passionate spirit of rebellion, social reform, and national awakening. The study analyzes how both poets emerge as “fiery flame rebels,” expressing resistance to colonial rule and patriarchal restrictions while also promoting a harmonious vision of love and......

Abstract: The study explores the legal guarantees created for witnesses in criminal proceedings, acknowledging them as crucial auxiliaries of justice whom courts depend on to investigate truthfulness and fulfill criminal justice. Given that witness performance can play a crucial role in establishing criminal culpability, protections for these individuals and preservation of their rights are fundamental to the integrity and efficacy of the judicial machinery. This study seeks to elucidate the legal basis of witness protection and illustrate its role in motivating witnesses to give testimony.......

Abstract: Introduction: The Global Landscape Of "Poor Economies" In June 2009, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimated that more than one billion people—nearly one-seventh of the human population—were suffering from chronic hunger. This statistic solidified a global perception: that poverty is essentially a biological problem of empty stomachs. However, as Abhijit Banerjee and Esther......

Abstract: Background: This systematic review examines how Australia’s immigration detention system affects the procedural fairness experienced by people seeking humanitarian protection. According to Elton et al. (2019), the conditions of detention, such as isolation, indefinite confinement, and restricted access to support, significantly undermine a person’s ability to present a clear and credible asylum claim. Verghis et al. (2023) similarly note that these conditions limit opportunities for meaningful participation in refugee status determination processes. Kenny et al......

Abstract: This research paper investigates the evolving construction and contestation of masculinity within digital environments, drawing on foundational sociological frameworks most notably Carrigan, Connell, and Lee's (1985) concept of hegemonic masculinity and Farahani and Thapar-Bjorkert's (2019) postcolonial masculinities framework to examine four interconnected research objectives. First, the paper explores the diverse roles men occupy within contemporary digital landscapes, ranging from content producers and cultural influencers.....

Abstract: Co-curricular activities (CCAs) play a pivotal role in fostering the holistic development of learners, particularly in senior secondary education where social, emotional, and academic competencies undergo rapid growth. This paper explores how a wide range of CCAs implemented in an Indian international school in Saudi Arabia during the 2025–2026 academic year supports the overall development of students in Grades VII and VIII. By integrating leadership platforms, cultural programmes, academic competitions, environmental initiatives, and performing arts, CCAs help strengthen...

Abstract: Objective: The current study makes an effort to search for the yogic elements in the Śrīmad Bhāgavata Mahāpurāṇa. The genesis of the study is to find out its similarities and differences with comparison to Patanjali’s yoga. Using the databases from the original Sanskrit book of Bhāgavata Mahāpurāṇa, Patañjali’s yoga sutra and other yogic texts, a thorough search of the literature was carried out, and we find that the Bhāgavata Mahāpurāṇa’s Yama and Niyama are different from Patañjali's Yama and Niyama, but the aim of the practice is the same, that is, Liberation

Abstract: Résumé : Cette étude retrace l’évolution de la SODECI, opérateur du service public de l’eau en Côte d’Ivoire, de 1960 à 2010. Elle met en lumière la continuité d’un modèle concessionnel fondé sur la coopération entre l’État et une entreprise privée nationale. Conçu au moment de l’indépendance, ce dispositif repose sur un équilibre entre performance économique et mission sociale. Les décennies de croissance permettent une extension rapide de la desserte, mais les....
