 Abstract

This article re-examines Kate Chopin's The Story of an Hour through the theoretical frameworks of ecofeminism, particularly Vandana Shiva and Maria Mies, alongside contemporary critics. While the story has frequently been interpreted as a feminist critique of marriage and patriarchal confinement, its ecological dimensions remain underexplored. This study foregrounds the overlooked role of nature as an active liberating force that enables Louise Mallard's fleeting moment of autonomy. Through a close reading of Chopin's imagery of springtime, open skies, and atmospheric vitality, the analysis demonstrates how natural symbolism disrupts patriarchal control and situates Louise's consciousness within a continuum of renewal and selfhood. By converging gendered oppression with ecological symbolism, the article highlights how Chopin encodes feminist agency within environmental metaphors. Building on recent ecofeminist scholarship that links nature to resilience and embodied freedom (Rahmatullah, 2025a; Rahmatullah, 2025b), this reading expands Chopin studies beyond domestic or psychological frameworks to emphasize her ecological imagination. The findings contribute to broader debates on how literary texts articulate ecological consciousness and feminist liberation, underscoring the need to integrate ecofeminist critique into canonical short story analysis.

 Abstract

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) connects hospitals, clinicians, and patients through wearables, bedside instruments, and clinical apps linked to cloud and edge services. This connectivity reduces response times and allows for contin uous care. However, it also puts highly sensitive data at risk of interception and tampering. Over the past few years, security designs for medical devices have evolved through several phases. Initially, there were heavy public-key systems that provided strong protection but put a strain on small devices. Next came hybrid methods that combined encryption with steganography to hide signals in plain sight. Recently, integrated approaches have emerged that link dynamic key generation with covert embedding to keep secrets fresh and hard to detect. This paper outlines that progression, explains why each step was necessary, and compares the technical trade-offs while focusing on embedded limitations. We conclude with a prac tical workflow that integrates session keys and medical image steganography. We also highlight research directions in post quantum readiness, AI-assisted monitoring, and energy-aware design.

 Abstract

The rapid integration of digital information technology has revolutionized the role of medical libraries from transforming them repositories for print-based collections to active portals for accessing the ever-expanding world of electronic information. This paper examines the use, purpose, frequency, satisfaction level and barriers to digital open access electronic resources in a medical institute library. A Survey method was employed to collect user data focusing on information use and perceptions of library services. It was found that e-books and e-journals were the most frequently used resources, underscoring growing dependence on digital platforms for academic learning and research. Users reported daily visits related to learning, updating subject knowledge, assignment preparation and career development. Satisfaction with library services was notably high, with the majority indicating that the library met their academic and professional needs. However, challenges such as slow internet service, lack of training in using electronic resources, limited availability of full-text journals, and outdated infrastructure, were identified as impediments to optimal resources use. Overall, the study concludes that although medical libraries remain indispensable for knowledge transfer and information-seeking, strategic interventions in infrastructure, user education, and resource availability are crucial in enhancing their performance in the medical education and scholarly communication.

 Abstract

Humor has historically served as a powerful antidote to tyranny, creating spaces for critique and resistance. In the digital era, internet memes have become a potent form of political satire, especially in India, where political memes are increasingly influential as tools for engagement. These memes enable individuals, particularly youth, to engage in political discourse in a light-hearted yet impactful way. This research investigates the power of political memes in India to influence public opinion, shape youth beliefs about political entities and policies, and foster, if not sometimes polarize public discourse. Additionally, it explores the dynamics of political memes in online communities, where they appeal to young, tech-savvy individuals who are both consumers and creators of such content. The findings illuminate how memes can reinforce biases while also providing an alternative to mainstream media narratives, ultimately reshaping the public's political engagement.

 Abstract

The Industrial Revolution, which began in Britain in the late eighteenth century, marked a turning point in human history and set the foundation for the modern world. This essay explores the multifaceted impacts of industrialization on economic growth, technological innovation, social transformation, and environmental change. It examines how industrial development revolutionized production processes, created new labor systems, and reshaped the global economy. The Industrial Revolution not only led to rapid urbanization and the rise of capitalism but also produced profound cultural and political consequences, including the expansion of education, the growth of labor movements, and the evolution of modern democratic institutions. While industrialization brought unprecedented prosperity and technological advancement, it also deepened class inequality, led to harsh working conditions, and introduced new environmental challenges. This paper argues that the Industrial Revolution's influence extends beyond the nineteenth century, as its legacy continues to shape global trade, digital technology, and industrial capitalism in the twenty-first century. By analyzing both the positive and negative outcomes of industrialization, this essay highlights how the Industrial Revolution remains a pivotal force in shaping modern society, offering crucial lessons for sustainable development and equitable economic progress.

 Abstract

Portable Airbag Mechanism is a compact and intelligent safety innovation designed to minimize fatal injuries in two-wheeler accidents by deploying protective airbags during collision or skidding events. Two-wheelers contribute to a significant percentage of global road fatalities due to minimal external protection and high exposure to impact forces. The proposed system integrates multiple sensors to monitor parameters such as vehicle speed, inclination, acceleration, and impact intensity. Upon detecting abnormal motion or a collision scenario, the data is transmitted through a Bluetooth communication module to activate the airbag inflation unit attached to the rider's helmet. This rapid inflation protects vital areas including the head, neck, and chest, effectively reducing the severity of injuries. The system is designed to address critical accident types such as frontal impact, rear-end collision, and skidding during sudden braking or cornering. By implementing this efficient, low-cost, and portable mechanism, two-wheeler safety can be significantly enhanced, thereby reducing accident-related fatalities.

 Abstract

In the context of renewable energy generation, efficient extraction of power from wind resources is of paramount importance. Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques play a crucial role in optimising the output of Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS), especially under fluctuating wind conditions. This study presents a comparative evaluation of two MPPT strategies--Perturb and Observe (P&O) and the Genetic Algorithm (GA)--implemented in a wind energy system equipped with a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG). The PMSG has been chosen due to its high efficiency, robustness, and suitability for direct-drive configurations, eliminating the need for gearboxes. The complete system is modelled and simulated using MATLAB/Simulink, considering a range of dynamic wind speed conditions. The performance of both MPPT techniques is analysed based on their ability to track the maximum power point efficiently. The simulation results indicate that while the conventional P&O method achieves a maximum output of 1049 kW and performs well under steady conditions, it exhibits limitations in terms of response time and output oscillations during wind fluctuations. In contrast, the GA-based MPPT algorithm showcases significantly improved performance, achieving a higher power output of 2785 kW, along with faster convergence and smoother power tracking. The study highlights the potential of advanced, intelligent optimisation methods like Genetic Algorithms in enhancing the reliability and effectiveness of modern wind energy systems, particularly in real-world operating scenarios marked by dynamic environmental changes.
