 Abstract

By placing the Joothan by Omprakash Valmiki and Karukku by Bama in the frameworks of intersection among trauma, memory, and citizenship, this paper examines how the process of untouchability is represented in these Dalit autobiographies. The two readings indicate that caste violence does not merely exist in the form of blatant discrimination but it also takes place in the form of day-to-day social activities in which long-lasting psychological and physical injuries are inflicted. The paper states that through these daily experiences of humiliation at school, in the religious venue, and the village community, it makes the experience of being humiliated a constant form of trauma instead of a suffering instance. Memory consequently becomes a vital tool of narrative whereby these authors re-write their childhood experience and their early adulthood with critical consciousness informed by their subsequent political awareness. With an account of untouchability presented through the prism of lived experience, Joothan and Karukku challenge the mainstream nationalist discourse which glorifies citizenship as an unproblematic and universal legal category. Rather, these writings reveal the disjunction between the constitutional principles and the social facts and show how Dalits are constantly denied a status of full citizenship even when they are formally equal. Even the process of writing about oneself turns into an assertion of agency and personal suffering is made into a people-wide reproach against caste-based exclusion. As argued in this paper, Dalit life writing would redefine citizenship not as the ability to be included under the law but the right to dignity, voice and social presence. By predicting trauma as an individual and a political state, the paper underlines the way Dalit autobiographies represent the counter-narratives, which rebuke hegemonic histories and require a more inclusive interpretation of postcolonial Indian democracy.

 Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a group of physiological dysfunctions characterized by hyper glycemia resulting directly from insulin resistance, inadequate insulin secretion, or excessive glucagon secretion. Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disorder leading to the destruction of pancreatic beta-cells. Type 2 diabetes (T2D), which is much more common, is primarily a problem of progressively impaired glucose regulation due to a combination of dysfunctional pancreatic beta cells and insulin resistance The chronic metabolic disorder diabetes mellitus is a fast-growing global problem with huge social, health, and economic consequences. It is estimated that in 2010 there were globally 285 millionpeople (approximately 6.4% of the adult population) suffering from this disease. diabetes, is a group of metabolic diseases in which there are high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period. These high blood sugar levels produce the symptoms of repeated urination, increased hunger, and increased thirst. Some of the diabetes patients are asymptomatic, especially those with type 2 diabetes during the early years of the disease. Others with marked hyperglycemia, especially in children with absolute insulin deficiency, may suffer from polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, weight loss, and blurred vision. Uncontrolled diabetes may lead to stupor, coma, and if not treated death, due to ketoacidosis or rarely from non-ketotic hyperosmolar syndrome.

 Abstract

The concept of "legitimate interest" has emerged as one of the most contested and operationally fragile legal bases in modern data protection law. Across jurisdictions, it was intended to provide flexibility for data controllers while safeguarding individual rights through proportionality and balancing. This paper demonstrates, through a comparative analysis of the European Union, Singapore, United States, and Brazil, that legitimate interest has instead become a persistent source of legal ambiguity, enforcement volatility, and architectural cost. In rights-centric regimes such as the EU and Brazil, ambiguity has been resolved through litigation and regulatory narrowing, generating high documentation and compliance burdens. In Singapore, administrative guidance and accountability frameworks have contained, but not eliminated, uncertainty. In United States, the absence of lawful bases has displaced ambiguity into definitional disputes and technical opt-out enforcement. Against this backdrop, India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 represents a deliberate regulatory rupture. By rejecting a general legitimate interest clause and introducing a closed list of "certain legitimate uses," the DPDP Act trades contextual flexibility for legal certainty and administrative predictability. The paper argues that this shift does not eliminate ambiguity but relocates it from legal interpretation to system architecture. Building on this insight, the paper develops concrete technology and governance strategies like consent-centric design, purpose-bound data pipelines, compliance-by-design, and auditability-first architectures, necessary to operationalize the DPDP regime. The analysis concludes that sustainable privacy governance depends less on doctrinal elegance than on the capacity of legal systems to align regulatory design with technical implementation realities.

 Abstract

This article examines Paulo Coelho's novel THE ALCHEMIST, concentrating on the powerful idea of following one's ambitions. The narrative focuses on self-discovery, personal legend, and inner faith through Santiago's transformation from shepherd to treasure seeker. Coelho's writing, which combines fantasy, adventure, and spiritual understanding, encourages readers to trust their hearts and accept the path to ultimate purpose and satisfaction, despite hurdles and uncertainty. Coelho's basic yet symbolic writing style makes the work both universally relatable and emotionally meaningful. Beyond tangible riches is found in courage, progress, and the balance between dreams and emotionally meaningful. This study also considers how the narrative relates to human wants for meaning, purpose, and the timeless search for identity in chaotic environment.

 Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: Sleep is a crucial component of recovery and performance in athletes, yet its implications on physical fitness and athletic prowess remain incompletely understood. Given the increasing interest in optimizing athletic performance through non-pharmacological methods, understanding the role of sleep becomes particularly significant. Objective: This study aims to elucidate the effects of enhanced sleep quality and duration on various aspects of physical fitness and athletic performance across different sports disciplines. Methods: We conducted a six-month, controlled; mixed-methods study involving 200 collegiate and professional athletes from both individual and team sports. Participants were divided into an intervention group, which received a comprehensive sleep enhancement program, and a control group. Quantitative data were collected using wearable technology to monitor sleep patterns and via regular assessments of athletic performance, including metrics such as reaction times, speed, accuracy, and endurance. Qualitative data were gathered through structured interviews to capture athletes' subjective experiences and perceptions of sleep's impact on their performance. Results: Preliminary analyses indicate significant improvements in performance metrics in the intervention group, correlating with increases in sleep duration and enhancements in sleep quality. Athletes in the intervention group reported better overall well-being and reduced fatigue levels, suggesting a positive relationship between improved sleep and athletic performance. Conclusion: The findings support the hypothesis that optimal sleep is essential for peak athletic performance and physical fitness. Enhancements in sleep not only improve specific performance metrics but also contribute to the athletes' overall health and well-being. These results underscore the need for incorporating structured sleep optimisation programs in athletic training and recovery protocols.

 Abstract

This project proposes a hybrid renewable energy system that integrates solar photovoltaic panels with a vertical axis wind turbine to supply reliable, clean power for streetlighting and electric vehicle (EV) charging in urban environments. Solar and wind resources complement each other over day-night and seasonal cycles, improving energy availability compared to single source systems. The generated power is conditioned through dedicated charge controllers and stored in a battery bank, which feeds high efficiency LED streetlights and a low power EV charging outlet. A microcontroller based smart streetlight unit adjusts lighting intensity using ambient light and motion sensing, enabling dimming during low traffic periods and full brightness when vehicles or pedestrians are detected, thereby reducing unnecessary energy consumption. The system also monitors solar and wind generation, battery state of charge, and EV charging status, and can transmit key parameters to a remote dashboard for energy management and fault detection. By combining dual renewable sources with intelligent load control and EV charging capability, the proposed design aims to lower grid dependence, enhance reliability of public lighting, and support sustainable, decentralized charging infrastructure for future smart cities.
