ROLE OF MANIPURI MUSLIM WOMEN IN AGRARIAN ECONOMY: A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

An agrarian system is associated with agricultural production and trade. The Indian economy, since ancient times, was mainly dependent on agriculture. Revenues collected from various agricultural products were used to manage infrastructure development, defense, territorial expans...

Targeting IL-10–mediated JAK–STAT signaling in cervical cancer: integrative network pharmacology, molecular docking, and experimental validation of Zerumbone

This study investigated the potential interaction between zerumbone (ZER) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) using molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Computational analyses suggested a stable association of ZER with a functionally relevant region of IL-10. Gene On...

Chronobiology Meets Contemplative Practice: Theoretical Frameworks of Amritvela Rajyoga Meditation

While modern contemplative science has extensively investigated mindfulness and meditation techniques, the critical chronobiological variable of timing remains largely unexplored. Ancient Eastern traditions universally emphasize the pre-dawn window—traditionally termed Brahma Muh...

Spatial analysis of water sanitation and hygiene services and health outcomes in Northeast India using NFHS-5

Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) are essential determinants of public health and human development, particularly in geographically remote and socio-economically disadvantaged regions. This study examines the spatial distribution, clustering patterns, determinants, and health...
