 Abstract

Abstract: Over the centuries, like many other authors, Aldous Huxley through his novel Brave New World tried to illustrate a futuristic society solely built upon the advancement of science and technology. The society seemingly appears idealistic, akin to that of a utopian society- where people are born in factories, where chemicals are used to do pre-birth class division, where children's who are conditioned in habituation centres have the opportunity to avail of artificial pleasures. But the reality is quite the opposite and is in fact a reflection of a dystopian society in a disguised form. The book paints the picture of an autocrat who obsesses with being in control over every aspect of the state, depriving freedom of people through various means and especially through the excessive use of the drug-Soma. The book is particularly outstanding keeping in mind its farsightedness. In an age where technology and artificial intelligence has taken over, Huxley's futuristic book offers a deep insight. In this context this study tries to argue if these innovations can materialize the dystopian concept into a reality. By interpreting the relationship between subject and object in their socio-political context this study outlines the importance of regulating emotions such as greed and hunger for power, and the necessity to grant and protect the freedom of human minds in a society.

 Abstract

Postcolonial nations, despite achieving political sovereignty, continue to experience cultural subjugation. Postcolonial theories endeavor to eradicate these cultural vestiges. Scholars argue that in the Indian subcontinent, Aryan colonialism perpetuates alongside European colonialism. This paper investigates the mechanisms of decolonization in the Bengali novel "Seetayanam" by Mallika Sengupta. The novel critically examines the Ramrajya, identified as the foundational institution of Aryan colonialism, and elucidates its oppressive impact on marginalized groups, including women, indigenous communities, and the environment, while perpetuating hegemonic masculine power structures.

 Abstract

An effervescent floating tablet formulation of Acebutolol hydrochloride was developed to enhance bioavailability by improving stomach retention. Using a direct compression method, various synthetic and natural polymers were evaluated. Effervescent agents, sodium bicarbonate and citric acid, were incorporated with polymers to lower the dosage form's density below that of gastric fluid, thereby extending gastric residence time. FTIR analysis was employed for drug identification, followed by the creation of floating tablets to assess polymer effects on swelling and buoyancy. Drug-excipient compatibility studies and FTIR comparisons with pure drug indicated no interactions in the optimal formulation. Stability tests confirmed unchanged post-compression parameters. The most effective combination of sodium bicarbonate, citric acid, and karaya gum (FA7) resulted in a floating lag time of 1 second, total floating time of 590 minutes, and 98.91% release after 600 minutes. Release kinetics analysis revealed adherence to a zero-order non-fickian diffusion-controlled system. The study found no drug-excipient interactions and demonstrated that Acebutolol hydrochloride floating tablets with karaya gum (FA7) mitigate plasma concentration fluctuations associated with frequent dosing of conventional immediate-release forms by prolonging gastric residence time

 Abstract

The term Democracy refers to a government chosen by the people, whether it is direct or representative. This word "democracy" (Demo (people) and (Crates (rule) was coined in ancient Greek called Athenian democracy, originally has two distinguishing features: firstly the allotment of ordinary citizens to government offices and courts and secondly the assembly of the citizens. Accountability and transparency are the two eyes of democracy. People are the master and they have right to watch the performance and business of the government. They have right to know that how they are being governed. Veil of secrecy restricts the vision of the citizens to see the working of government. In the present scenario knowledge has become the most valuable resource. Corruption and abuse of power are the inevitable fall outs of an unaccountable system of governance. The right to information when vested in people can act as a deterrent against corruption and abuse of power. The right to information is a means to ensure open government and to empower the people. The Right to Information Act, 2005 has categorically disclosed information's related to public authorities to provide for setting out the practical regime of right to information for citizens in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority.

 Abstract

The aim of this analysis is to present, evaluate, and talk about the literature related to the earlier findings on road surfacing in pavement engineering reinforcement. In order to bolster the argument for the importance of fiber-reinforced asphalt pavement, this paper also reviews the history and current state of road surfacing. The development of transportation plays an important role in the development of nation. With flexible pavements being widely used in India, steps must be taken to increase the life of the bituminous pavements. Flexible pavements are often plagued with problems of cracking and rutting due to repeated traffic loads. Hence one needs to address these problems in order to improve the performance of flexible pavements. In this paper, a review of the background and present status of road surfacing is also provided for supportive explanation of the significance of fiber-reinforced asphalt pavement HMA and its role in providing effective and durable surfacing for heavy-trafficked roads. Numerous research' findings support the notion that the fiber particularly improves the optimum bitumen content in the design of the mixture and halts the bitumen leakage due to its asphalt absorbing susceptibility. Fiber modifies the visco-elastic response, susceptibility against moisture, increase resistance to rutting, as well as lowers the pavement fatigue cracking.
