Author: Ms Papiya Chakma

DOI Link: https://doi.org/10.70798/Bijmrd/03010001

Abstract: The research paper aims to analyze the Sociolinguistic Identity of the Chakma Community in North Tripura. The Chakma language belongs to the Indo-Aryan Language family of India. Languages epitomize identities and are used to indicate identities by those who speak the language. Like other ethnic groups Chakmas have their distinct languages or dialects, which serve as a marker of their aesthetical inheritance and group association. Language serves as a source of honor and unity within an ethnic clique, providing a means to nurture and pass on cultural heritage across future generations. It permits particulars to manifest their exceptional ethnic identity and encourage a sense of belonging. Chakma language is spoken mostly in Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh, Tripura, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and West Bengal of India and in several parts of Burma. However, the focus of the paper is on the Sociolinguistic Identity of Chakma community residing in North Tripura. According to the census report of 2011 the total population of Chakma community in India was 2, 28,281 persons and in Tripura was 79,813. This paper is an endeavor to represent the glance of their de-emphasizing and agonizing qualms in Tripura. The study reveals the connection between language credence and community customs, as well as the consequences of language affairs on social identity and language conservation. The persuasion of the indigenous speakers towards the language will also be evaluated.  The current research is based on fieldwork executed in North Tripura district of Tripura, India.

Keywords: Sociolinguistic, Chakma, Tripura, identity, ethnic community.

Nuclear Waste Management: Chemistry and Strategies

Author: Dr.  Amardeep Sinha1 Dr. Narayan Kumar2 Dr. Koomkoom Khawas3

DOI Link:

Abstract: Nuclear waste management remains one of the most critical challenges in ensuring the sustainability of nuclear energy and mitigating its environmental impacts. This review explores the chemistry underlying various strategies employed for the safe handling, treatment, and disposal of nuclear waste. The paper categorizes nuclear waste into high-level, intermediate-level, and low-level types, discussing their chemical composition and sources. Advanced chemical processes, including solvent extraction, ion exchange, and vitrification, are analyzed for their effectiveness in reducing waste volume and enhancing stability. The role of long-term storage solutions, such as geological repositories, is examined, with a focus on the chemical stability of waste forms and containment materials. Additionally, the environmental implications of nuclear waste are evaluated, highlighting the risks of leakage and the development of chemical strategies to mitigate contamination. Recent innovations, such as novel materials for containment and the recycling of spent nuclear fuel, are reviewed for their potential to address existing challenges. The paper also delves into regulatory frameworks and public perceptions that influence waste management policies. By presenting a comprehensive overview of the chemical aspects of nuclear waste management, this review aims to provide insights into future directions and the development of sustainable practices in the field.

Author: Dr. Md. Hanif & Sareeta Tamang

DOI Link: https://doi.org/10.70798/Bijmrd/03010007

ABSTRACT: Present-day climate change includes both global warming, the ongoing increase in global average temperatureand its wider effects on Earth’s climate system. Climate change in a broader sense also includes previous long-term changes to Earth’s climate. The current rise in global temperatures is driven by human activities, Fossil fuels are being continuously used to produce electricity. The burning of these fuels produces gases like carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxides which lead to global warming. Deforestation is also leading to warmer temperatures. The hazard of global warming is continuously causing major damage to the Earth’s environment, Because of the treacherous effects of global warming, some solutions must be devised. Its causes and hazards and presents some solutions to solve this hot issue. So, alternative energy sources (solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, biomass) need to be seriously pursued. Finding and using renewable sources of energy is one the methods to combat the ever increasing global warming effectively.

Author: Kush Hatui1 Dr. Pankaj Kumar Paul2

DOI Link: https://doi.org/10.70798/Bijmrd/03010008

Abstract: Aims/Purpose: The purpose of this research is to investigate how education affects domestic violence according to gender in West Bengal & 39;s Paschim Medinipur district. Methodology: A descriptive survey of 200 respondents in the Paschim Medinipur area of West Bengal is conducted. A student's t-test has been used to analyze the framed hypothesis. Findings:  With regard to gender, there are notable differences in the respondents’ attitudes regarding the influence of education on domestic violence. Domestic violence is less common in households with female dominated households than in households with males. Comments: Education is seen as a tool in reducing domestic violence since it empowers individuals to confront their established roles, face the problems, and transform their lives. A good education helps people better understand the world and reduces their vulnerability to outside influences.

Self-Learning Modules and Academic Motivation in Chemistry

Author: Sankar E & Professor Dr. A. Edward William Benjamin

DOI Link: https://doi.org/10.70798/Bijmrd/03010009

Abstract: This study utilized an experimental design to examine the influence of self-learning modules on academic motivation in chemistry. A total of 40 higher secondary students in the XI grade were randomly selected and divided into two groups: a control group and an experimental group, each consisting of 20 students. Before the intervention, a short version of the academic motivation scale was administered to both the experimental and the control groups. The self-learning modules were introduced exclusively to the experimental group over 12 consecutive weeks. Following the intervention, the academic motivation scale was administered again. Analysis of the pre-test and post-test results indicated a significant improvement in the academic motivation of the students who participated in the self-learning modules. The study recommends conducting a longitudinal study to further assess the effectiveness of the self-learning modules and suggests implementing constant feedback to enhance their efficacy.
