Assessment of trend, pattern and predictive factors determining infant mortality among the tea garden labour community of Assam, India

Abstract Background Infant mortality characterizes a critical public health concern in developing country like India, with considerable disparities across socio-economically marginalized and deprived communities. Despite widespread research at the national and state levels, inade...

Contextualizing Tudor Cuisine Culture and Politics in Hilary Mantel’s "Wolf Hall" and "Bring Up the Bodies"

This study examines Tudor culinary culture as exemplified in the first two novels of Hilary Mantel’s Tudor Trilogy, Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies. It argues that rather than serving as a mere historical backdrop, food acts as a vital agent of political representation. Framed...

Examining Fracturing Performance With Ceramic Proppants on Sandstone Reservoir Rock—A Simulation Study

ABSTRACT This study examines hydraulic fracturing (HF) performance in oil‐bearing rock in the Upper Assam basin, India, using a fracDesign simulator employing varied proppant types and fracture designs. This work first characterizes the sandstone reservoir parameters, following w...

Sustainable Livelihoods Under Flood Stress of Displaced Households in the Brahmaputra Valley of Assam

Flood-induced displacement represents one of the most pressing challenges for vulnerable communities in developing countries, particularly in regions where livelihoods are closely tied to climate-sensitive agriculture. Assam, located in the Brahmaputra Valley, experiences recurre...

Green innovation, green investment, environmental taxation and economic development as determinants of environmental quality in OECD countries

Green growth as a concept gained prominence since the beginning of the millennium, and ever since, there has been increased focus on the credibility of instruments such as green investment, green innovation, and environmental taxation as means for making sustainability compatible...

Knowledge and perception regarding influenza and its vaccine among the elderly population in India: a multicentric study on the drivers of vaccine uptake

Older adults experience a high risk of severe influenza, yet vaccine uptake in India is low. There is no government funded influenza vaccination program in India. Understanding the drivers of uptake is essential to guide policy and practice. We conducted a multicentre, cross-sect...

Quantum-corrected thermodynamics and phase structure of AdS Euler–Heisenberg black hole

Abstract We investigate the thermodynamic behaviour of an AdS black hole arising from nonlinear electrodynamics-corrected gravity, incorporating quantum effects through thermal fluctuations. From the Einstein–Euler–Heisenberg framework, we consider the modified black hole solutio...

Mathematical Modeling of Viscoelastic Fluid Flow Under the Influence of Melting Heat Transfer and Activation Energy With Entropy Generation Analysis

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to examine new insights into the steady two‐dimensional motion of a viscoelastic (Walters' B), incompressible fluid over a vertically stretched sheet surface under the impact of a transverse magnetic field. The influence of activation energy,...

Integrating Artificial Intelligence in School Psychology: Practical Strategies to Support Adolescent Wellbeing in Indian Schools

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in school settings is transforming how students learn and receive support. While AI tools such as adaptive learning systems and chatbots offer opportunities for personalised learning and early identification of student needs, their...

An $$A_4$$ model to accommodate maximal $$\theta _{23}$$ and maximal $$\delta $$ consistent with $$\mu $$–$$\tau $$ reflection symmetry

Abstract In this work, we construct an $$A_4$$ A 4 -based flavor symmetry model within the framework of the type-I seesaw mechanism to realize a light neutrino mass matrix consistent with $$\mu $$ μ – $$\tau $$ τ reflection symmetry. The entire framework is based on the Standard...

Assessing climatic drivers and multi-scale forecasting of Japanese encephalitis in endemic regions of eastern India

Abstract Japanese Encephalitis (JE) remains a seasonal public health issue in eastern India, but the factors related to climate and how we predict them differ by state. We looked at monthly JE case counts from five states where the disease is common, using correlation analysis, G...

Fourteen-year trends and disease burden of oral cancer in Dibrugarh, Assam (2005–2018): a retrospective registry-based study with indian standard population-standardized estimates

Dibrugarh, a predominantly rural district in Upper Assam, has been identified as a high-burden area for oral cancer, possibly because of its distinct exposure patterns and limited access to screening and care. To characterize this burden, the present study assessed the epidemiolo...
