The Crushing Weight: Understanding the Mental States Leading Mothers Towards Collective Suicide and the Urgent Need for Societal Transformation

Image
  T he silence that often precedes tragedy is deafening. When news emerges of mothers, burdened beyond measure, taking their own lives along with their children – particularly daughters – a profound unease settles upon society. These are not isolated incidents of despair; they are piercing cries emanating from the fault lines of our social fabric, demanding a reckoning with the invisible weights that crush the spirits of women, especially those navigating the complex terrain of motherhood, marriage, career, and relentless societal pressures. To dismiss these acts as impulsive is to ignore the years of silent suffering, the gnawing anxiety about their children’s futures, and the often-insurmountable burden of financial insecurity that forms the bedrock of their despair. This analysis delves into the intricate web of mental states that can tragically lead young women, particularly mothers, towards such extreme acts. It argues that in many societies, especially within socio-economical...

Defence Mechanisms of Salacca zalacca (Salak or Snake Fruit) against Wild Animal attacks in Kerala

Image
  Salacca zalacca , known as salak or snake fruit , is an exotic tropical palm increasingly cultivated in Kerala due to its high market value and adaptability to humid climates. However, the region’s rich biodiversity includes numerous wild animals that pose threats to cultivated crops. This article explores the natural defence mechanisms of Salacca zalacca against wild animal attacks, focusing on its application in the agro-ecological context of Kerala. It highlights the plant’s physical and chemical defence strategies and discusses how these features contribute to sustainable and wildlife-resilient farming systems. Kerala, with its tropical climate, dense forests, and abundant rainfall, provides an ideal environment for cultivating exotic fruits like Salacca zalacca . However, the same conditions also attract wild animals such as wild boars, monkeys, porcupines, and civets, which often raid farms and damage crops. As a palm species originally native to Southeast Asia, S. zala...

AI Beauties, Social Media and the Illusion of Youthful Allure

Image
In our current digital landscape, the concept of beauty is undergoing a profound transformation. What used to be a matter of human presence, talent and expression has increasingly become a matter of algorithmic creation, high-end rendering and social-media metrics. At the heart of this shift lies the phenomenon of AI-generated beauties or “virtual influencers” — digitally created models and personalities whose purpose is often to capture attention, drive engagement, and monetize youth and desirability.  The Rise of the Virtual Beauty One of the most prominent examples is Lil Miquela (Miquela Sousa), a “19-year-old Brazilian-American” digital character created in 2016 by the startup Brud. ([virtualhumans.org] Though she appears as a human on social-media feeds, she is entirely computer-generated. [Moody College of Communication] Her following is in the millions, and she has appeared in campaigns for luxury brands such as Prada and Calvin Klein. [cut-the-saas.com] More broadly, the c...

Building Smarter Slopes: Technical Insights on Landslide Early Warning Systems

Image
  Building Smarter Slopes: Technical Insights on Landslide Early Warning Systems A focused technical review of instrumentation, remote sensing, AI forecasting, and operational lessons for implementing robust LEWS in complex regions such as the Western Ghats . Target audience: geotechnical engineers, disaster management professionals, and researchers Introduction: complexity of slope hazards Landslides are a highly nonlinear geotechnical hazard. In steep, monsoon-dominated regions such as the Western Ghats, failure is typically triggered by a combination of antecedent saturation, intense rainfall, and anthropogenic stressors (deforestation, excavation, drainage obstruction). Modern Landslide Early Warning Systems (LEWS) combine multisource monitoring, predictive models, and tailored dissemination to provide timely, actionable lead time for evacuation and mitigation. Figure 1 — LEWS architecture: four pillars — Risk Knowledge, Monitoring & Forecasting, Dissemination, Response. ...

Digital literacy among Indian secondary school students

Image
  Abstract This report reviews recent evidence on digital literacy among Indian secondary school students, synthesizing primary studies, national surveys, and policy documents to describe current levels, determinants, and implications for schooling. Findings show uneven access and skill levels across states, urban–rural divides, and clear links between school infrastructure, teacher readiness, and students’ digital competence. National policy (NEP 2020) emphasizes 21st-century skills but implementation gaps remain. The report concludes with recommendations for curriculum integration, teacher professional development, targeted infrastructure investments, and future research directions. ([ASER: Annual Status of Education Report][1]) Keywords Digital literacy, secondary school, India, NEP 2020, digital divide, ICT readiness 1. Introduction Digital literacy — the ability to access, evaluate, create and communicate information using digital technologies — is increasingly essential for e...

The Qualities of AI-Resilient Careers

Image
As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to reshape industries, many workers are asking: which careers will survive, and which will be automated? The answer lies not in any single job title, but in the qualities that make certain roles resistant to automation. AI-resilient careers tend to rely on uniquely human traits—like creativity, emotional intelligence, complex decision-making, and physical dexterity. These careers often require adaptability, continual learning, and deep expertise in nuanced environments. Understanding these qualities is critical for anyone hoping to future-proof their professional life. 1. Human-Centered Interaction One of the most important qualities of AI-resilient careers is meaningful human interaction. Jobs that involve empathy, persuasion, relationship-building, or caregiving are difficult to replicate with machines. For example, social workers, therapists, nurses, and teachers must read emotional cues, adapt their communication, and build trust—none of ...
