 Abstract

A novel ?-diketone 1-(2-hydroxy phenyl)-3-(2, 4-dichlorophenyl) propane-1,3-dione & its transition metal complexes have been synthesized by conventional as well as ultrasound method. Using Baker venkat raman rearrangement this diketone was prepared .UV-vis, IR, 1H- NMR, 13C- NMR, mass, XRD characterization and Elemental analysis has been done for newly synthesized ligand & its transition metal complexes. The newly synthesized ligand and its metal complexes were also studied by Antimicrobial & Antioxidant screening.

 Abstract

This paper delves into the intersection of gender, disability, and marginalization, highlighting the unique challenges faced by women with disabilities in marginalized communities. These women often experience compounded discrimination, which significantly limits their access to essential services such as education, healthcare, and employment. The intersectionality of gender and disability exacerbates their vulnerability, as they face systemic barriers and pervasive social stigmas that hinder their full participation in society. The paper examines how these challenges are rooted in societal norms and institutional practices that to accommodate the specific needs of women with disabilities. It underscores the importance of inclusive policies and practices that address these unique challenges, advocating for a more equitable distribution of resources and opportunities. By focusing on tailored interventions and robust legal frameworks, the paper aims to promote justice and equity for women with disabilities. Furthermore, it calls for increased awareness and advocacy to dismantle the barriers that perpetuate inequality By fostering an inclusive environment that recognizes and values diversity, society can ensure that women with disabilities in marginalized communities are empowered to lead fulfilling lives and contribute meaningfully to their communities. This approach is essential for achieving true gender justice and social equity.

 Abstract

This paper examines the impact of cultural assimilation on personal identity among Afghan women in Khaled Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns. A qualitative analysis of the novel is conducted and it reveals that Hosseini's characters often experience a hybrid identity. The paper, in order to understand the interplay between culture and identity, analyses the development of character and narrative structure. This study indicates that the principal women characters experience tensions that arise due to conflict between tradition and modernity, and their resilience, that helps them to overcome these struggles. The challenges faced by women clearly demonstrate a conflicting identity, which is neither fully assimilated nor entirely disconnected from their roots. This identity highlights the complexities of navigating between cultures.

 Abstract

Reproductive technologies have advanced significantly, and the ethical questions they continuously raise are complex, often involving considerations of life, morality, and the role of the church in guiding faithful decisions. As a Catholic priest serving in healthcare within the Diocese of Umuahia since 2007, I have witnessed first-hand, the profound struggles of couples grappling with infertility challenges, often compounded by poverty, illiteracy, and the weight of unfulfilled dreams. This experience has presented a stark moral dilemma: the unwavering traditional teachings of the Church on fertility and science and in contrast to the tangible, daily suffering of those who long to build a family. It is within this very tension that I seek to open a dialogue by calling for thoughtful re-examination of the church's approach to reproductive technologies, including in-vitro fertilization (IVF), family planning, and surrogacy. In doing so, I wish to clarify that my intention is not to advocate indiscriminately for IVF as a universal solution. Rather, as a concerned priest who perceives "the smell of his sheep" I wish to offer a bridge between the Church's teachings and the personal struggles individuals face. Instead of categorically rejecting assisted reproductive technologies, in cases where nature's own mechanisms falter-whether due to infertility, genetic disorders, or other medical conditions-assisted reproductive science, when carefully and ethically applied, can indeed serve as a legitimate way of alleviating people's suffering. For example, just as an individual with a weakened leg relies on a walking stick for support, persons with limited mobility benefit from the assistance of wheelchairs, and those whose vision is impaired find clarity through eyeglasses, so too can couples facing infertility harness scientific advances to nurture the gift of life. These examples are not acts of defiance against the natural order or a challenge to divine providence; they are instead practical expressions of our commitment to enhancing the human condition. Of course, recognising the potential role of assisted reproductive technologies as a compassionate option in providing meaningful support for couples struggling to build a family cannot be understood as constituting a "battle with God"; rather, it is an acknowledgment that our Creator has endowed us with reason and innovation to tend to the vulnerabilities inherent in our nature. Thus, in leveraging these advancements, we honour the sanctity of life and extend compassion to those for whom traditional means have proven insufficient. So just as medicine has advanced to provide prosthetics, mobility aids, and corrective devices that enable individuals to lead fuller lives, so too should our approach to assisted reproductive technologies be seen as an extension of our duty to care for one another. When done in a way that respects life and God's plan for creation, and when the technologies are used ethically, assisted reproduction can be viewed as an extension of human cooperation with God's gift of life which fosters the sacred pursuit of happiness in every family. It can also affirm that science and faith can coexist in harmonious service to humanity. The challenge lies in ensuring that any technology used aligns with the values of love, respect for life, and the sanctity of the marriage bond. Before proceeding, it will be useful to provide a brief survey of Catholic doctrines on fertility and science which reveals a nuanced and thoughtful approach to the relationship between faith, ethics, and the advancements of modern science, especially in the realm of reproduction technologies. In his 2013 Apostolic Exhortation - Evangelii Gaudium, Pope Francis said that evangelisers should "smell like the sheep" a metaphor that means that evangelisers should get involved in people's lives and be willing to humble themselves. His message emphasises the importance of accompanying and supporting Christians face difficulties in life, highlighting the need for a compassionate and inclusive community.

 Abstract

The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into retail operations is reshaping the way brands interact with consumers. This study explores how AI-driven tools enhance the brand experience in both online and offline retail environments. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research includes a structured survey of 600 retail customers across five metropolitan cities and 15 in-depth interviews with retail managers and AI consultants. Results indicate that personalised AI features, such as virtual shopping assistants, dynamic pricing, and predictive inventory, significantly contribute to perceived brand value and consumer satisfaction. However, findings also reveal scepticism regarding data privacy and a gap in emotional engagement compared to human-led interactions. The study introduces the framework of "Intelligent Brand Engagement" (IBE) and offers a roadmap for ethically integrating AI to deepen brand-consumer relationships without compromising trust.

 Abstract

The three primary ways to obtain Vitamin D (VD) are through sunlight exposure, dietary intake, and supplements. Since food generally contains low levels of VD, the most effective methods for maintaining adequate VD levels are through skin synthesis and proper supplementation. VD2 and VD3, which are produced not only by certain invertebrates and plants but also within the human body.Alarmingly, VD deficiency is increasingly common across the global population and is now considered a widespread health issue. VD deficiency is particularly common in older adults and individuals with obesity. It is now linked to a higher risk of developing bone disorders, cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, cancer, autoimmune diseases, and allergies. Educating both the public and healthcare professionals about the benefits and sources of VD, along with promoting appropriate supplementation, can help reduce the prevalence of deficiency.
