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.

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.

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.

Abstract: Surface water is both scarce and threatened due to anthropogenic impact of urbanization, growing population and climate change. Fresh water surface quality mainly of ponds and rivers are vulnerable due to various organic loads, emerging pollutants and water borne pathogens. The presence of suspended particles in water also increases the disease probability as the microbes cling on to those surfaces. Unpredictable weather conditions has heightened the susceptibility towards diseases because this ensures the survival of spore/cysts and inflicts pathogenesis. Non-stop rainfall spreads these pathogens in local water bodies like ponds polluting them and drought conditions concentrate these pathogens in those habitats. Drinking water sources then becomes compromised and results in gastrointestinal diseases like diarrhoea and dysentery which are very fatal for children and immune compromised adults. In this research work, two locality ponds were chosen based on their usage by the people of the surrounding area. Our work highlights monitoring the water quality of these two ponds around Kamarhati locality for coliform group by MPN method. Physico-chemical parameters like temperature, pH, turbidity, Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Dissolve Solids (TDS), Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) were also determined as they have influence over microbial growth. Antibiotic susceptibility test of the isolated coliform strains were also performed to ascertain the growing presence of antibiotic resistance in those public use surface water.

Abstract: This study investigates the fatty acid composition and in vitro biological activities—specifically anti-diabetic and antioxidant properties—of Vicia faba (broad bean) seed extracts collected from East Medinipur, West Bengal. Non-polar solvent extraction using hexane and petroleum ether was employed, followed by derivatization to fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) and analysis via Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The fatty acid profile revealed a predominance of unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs), particularly linoleic acid (C18:2, n-6) and oleic acid (C18:1, n-9), alongside palmitic acid (C16:0) as the dominant saturated fatty acid (SFA). The total UFA content was 72.70% in hexane extract and 71.75% in petroleum ether extract, underscoring the nutritional richness of Vicia faba seeds. The anti-diabetic potential was evaluated through α-amylase inhibitory assays. The hexane and petroleum ether extracts demonstrated dose-dependent inhibition, with IC₅₀ values of 412.3 ± 15.5 µg/mL and 458.7 ± 18.2 µg/mL, respectively. Although less potent than the standard inhibitor Acarbose (IC₅₀ = 21.5 ± 0.8 µg/mL), the results indicate the presence of bioactive compounds capable of modulating carbohydrate digestion and post-prandial glucose levels. Additionally, the antioxidant capacity of the extracts was assessed using the DPPH radical scavenging assay. Both extracts exhibited concentration-dependent scavenging activity, with the hexane extract showing a slightly stronger effect (IC₅₀ = 175.2 ± 6.1 µg/mL) than the petroleum ether extract (IC₅₀ = 192.5 ± 7.8 µg/mL), albeit lower than that of ascorbic acid (IC₅₀ = 9.5 ± 0.3 µg/mL). Overall, the findings highlight Vicia faba seeds as a valuable source of essential fatty acids with moderate anti-diabetic and antioxidant potential. These attributes support their inclusion in functional foods or the development of nutraceutical formulations aimed at managing oxidative stress and glucose metabolism disorders.

Abstract: This study evaluated the antioxidant potential of ethanol (70%) extracts from four commonly consumed legumes- Cajanus cajan, Vigna mungo, Vigna radiata, and Macrotyloma uniflorum—using multiple in vitro assays. The DPPH radical scavenging assay revealed a clear dose-dependent increase in antioxidant activity across all samples, with C. cajan exhibiting the highest scavenging efficiency (95.9% at 800 µg/mL), closely approximating the standard antioxidant, ascorbic acid. This trend was further supported by the Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) assay, where C. cajan again led with the highest reducing potential (915.8 µM Fe²⁺/g), followed by V. mungo, V. radiata, and M. uniflorum. Quantification of total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) also revealed that C. cajan possessed the highest levels of both phenolics (42 mg GAE/g) and flavonoids (25 mg QE/g), correlating with its superior antioxidant performance. In vitro anti-inflammatory assays, including protein denaturation and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) scavenging activity, further reinforced these findings, highlighting C. cajan as the most potent among the tested legumes, followed closely by V. mungo. The results suggest that the antioxidant efficacy of these legumes is closely linked to their polyphenolic and flavonoid profiles. This study supports the ethnomedicinal relevance and nutraceutical potential of these legumes, particularly Cajanus cajan and Vigna mungo, in managing oxidative stress and related disorders.
