This paper explores the use of magical realism as a narrative device in postcolonial literature, with a focus on Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children. It examines how Rushdie blends the real with the fantastical and magical to critique about colonial legacies, reconstruct fragmented identities, and provide a multi-layered historical perspective. Drawing from postcolonial theories by Homi Bhabha and Edward Said, this research highlights how Rushdie's novel challenges dominant historical narratives and constructs a hybridized sense of self. Through the protagonist Saleem Sinai, Midnight's Children presents an allegorical exploration of India's post-independence struggles, portraying the nation's political and cultural complexities. The paper argues that magical realism in postcolonial literature functions not only as an artistic technique but also as a means of resistance, memory preservation, and identity negotiation in the aftermath of colonialism and partition.

The momentum behind the global transition to electric vehicles (EVs) has been fueled by rising environmental worries, government incentives, and progress in battery technology. Nevertheless, even with these advancements, consumer attitudes and perceptions remain vital in the adoption of EVs. This study offers a thorough examination of the current literature related to the primary factors that affect consumer choices regarding EV purchases, highlighting both the motivators and the obstacles. The research highlights crucial factors that encourage the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), such as awareness of environmental issues, savings achieved through reduced fuel and maintenance costs, government incentives, and advancements in technology. Additionally, the growing societal acceptance of EVs, along with successful marketing approaches, has played a role in fostering favorable consumer perceptions. On the other hand, widespread adoption faces numerous obstacles. Significant concerns for potential buyers include high upfront costs, range anxiety, and insufficient charging infrastructure. Furthermore, consumer confidence is adversely affected by uncertainties surrounding battery longevity, replacement expenses, and misconceptions regarding electric vehicle performance. The study also points out differences in perceptions of electric vehicles across demographics and regions, with disparities noted between developed and developing markets influenced by factors such as income levels, education, and urbanization. To boost consumer confidence and speed up the adoption of electric vehicles, it is essential for industry stakeholders and policymakers to tackle infrastructure deficiencies, offer specific incentives, and prioritize consumer education. Additionally, upcoming research should investigate new trends like wireless charging, battery swapping, and how artificial intelligence can enhance the efficiency of electric vehicles. By examining consumer perceptions through a structured review, this study provides valuable insights into the evolving EV market, offering practical recommendations for businesses, governments, and researchers working to advance sustainable transportation.

 Abstract

Cancer patients still struggle greatly to control the nausea and vomiting brought on by treatment. Tetrahydrocannabinol and metoclopramide hydrochloride are two less effective traditional antiemetics than phenothiazines. Our findings and those of many pilot trials suggest that high glucocorticoid dosages help reduce the nausea and vomiting that come with cancer therapy. Still, some cancer patients suffer negative side effects from their drugs; the most frequent ones are nausea and numbness. Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) may occur gradually or suddenly. After starting chemotherapy, acute emesis manifests 24 hours later; delayed episodes follow and may last over several days. It is recommended to use dexamethasone, aprepitant, a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, or both as a pretreatment to prevent acute emesis. For delayed emesis caused by moderately to highly emetogenic anticancer medicines, oral dexamethasone, either by itself or in combination with aprepitant, is advised. Oral mucositis makes administering oral antiemetic medications more difficult. It is the cause of dysphagia and other swallowing difficulties in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing radiation and chemotherapy. To aid patients who have difficulty swallowing, jelly formulations and oral dissolving tablets have been developed. Although the insoluble portions of oral disintegrating tablets remain in the mouth until they are taken, they disintegrate quickly and may be a bit uncomfortable to take. Though often hefty, these formulations are helpful for elderly people who have trouble swallowing. Furthermore, dental care products have made use of edible thin oral film formulations that dissolve readily in saliva without the need for water. Particularly helpful are these oral disintegrating thin film formulations for those who have trouble swallowing and eating.

 Abstract

This study investigates the impact of various parental engagement strategies on students' academic performance, focusing on the differences across socio-economic groups. The demographic analysis includes a diverse range of parents and students, highlighting significant representation in age, education levels, occupations, and income statuses. Data from a field survey indicates that parental involvement substantially enhances students' academic performance, with activities such as setting educational goals, participating in parent-teacher conferences, and involvement in school events showing the highest benefits. The effectiveness of these strategies varies by socio-economic group, with high-income families generally experiencing greater improvements. Hypothesis testing using SPSS revealed significant positive correlations between parental engagement and academic performance across all socio-economic groups. Strategies such as homework assistance, parent-teacher conferences, and participation in school events are beneficial for all students, though more impactful for those from higher-income backgrounds. The study underscores that setting educational goals and providing educational resources are particularly effective, with goal setting showing the highest correlation with academic improvement. The findings suggest that while all parental involvement activities are beneficial, targeted interventions are necessary to address the specific needs of low-income families. Enhancing communication between parents and teachers, increasing access to educational resources, and encouraging participation in school events can help bridge the academic achievement gap between socio-economic groups. This study highlights the critical role of tailored parental engagement in fostering academic success and suggests that a multi-faceted approach can create a more equitable educational environment.

 Abstract

The connection between humans and nature is inseparable. The environmental consciousness emerging today is a response to the ecological damage caused by technological developments. Still one can see that in ancient India people showed much respect for the environment in which they survived. Hinduism is a belief that has an ecologically rational theory. The Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, Ramayana, and Mahabharata are age-old holy texts that include notes for maintaining an eco-friendly balance and the protection of environment. Man is guided to live in complete harmony with nature. Man is the creation of five components e.g. earth, water, fire, sky, and air. If all five elements are equally balanced the human body remains healthy. Any inequality creates a break down in the body. Despite this, man is influenced by other factors, for example, kind of his diet, water, and climate. Environment awareness is discovered in India right from the Vedic age. In different ancient texts, importance of environment and their conservation have been discussed. Indian saints have always considered the natural powers to be local deities. In 'Bhoomi Sukta' of Atharva Veda and in Yajur Veda it is asked to give respect to environment as gods and goddesses. Purity of water, natural elements mixture, awareness is discussed in Vedic texts. Respect towards trees is depicted in our great epics i.e., Ramayana and Mahabharata. In Puranas, cutting of trees has been described as a punishable offence. The earth has been regarded as the mother. This paper makes a peep into the environmental and ecological awareness in the Ramayana, Mahabharata and the Vedic Period of Ancient India.
