When the ethnic conflict in Manipur erupted with devastating force in May 2023, the world's attention quickly polarised around two primary communities: the valley-dominant Meitei (predominantly Hindu) and the hill-dwelling Kuki-Zo (predominantly Christian). Villages burned, thousands were displaced, and the fault lines of ethnicity, religion, and land rights tore open the social fabric of one of India's most culturally layered states. Yet in the architecture of this tragedy, one community has remained persistently invisible - the Pangal, the Muslim of Manipur.

Mobilizable fresh water is a scarce and precious resource, generally stored in groundwater aquifers. Therefore, for effective management, it is essential to understand and simulate groundwater flow in saturated porous media. In our work, we presented the general principles of groundwater hydraulics and established the diffusivity equation. A numerical solution based on discretization using the finite difference method was developed.

This study investigates the corrosion inhibition efficacy of a green-synthesized zinc acetate–reduced graphene oxide composite, prepared using aqueous Helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent, for mild steel in aggressive corrosive environments. The composite was synthesized through sequential green reduction of graphene oxide in the plant extract, followed by incorporation of zinc-based nanoparticles derived from zinc acetate under alkaline conditions, yielding a black powdered material with a final mass of 1.42 g.

In the realm of Field Theory, they typically apply Lorentz transformations as a processing step; with the Maxwell concept, we can simply understand that changes in electricity and magnetism may cause fields. However, in more modern approaches, scientists have developed gauge theory to explain the field. In this research paper, we aim to use a novel assumption approach that could clarify the significance of superposition extension. This suggests that in the extended field, additional dimensions may develop during superposition.

El Chavo del 8 es una serie de televisión emblemática que, aunque centrada en la comedia, ofrece una crítica social profunda sobre las desigualdades de clase, la pobreza y las relaciones de poder. A través de sus personajes, particularmente El Chavo y Don Ramón, la serie representa la lucha de las clases bajas en una sociedad mexicana desigual. El uso del humor permite abordar de manera accesible y entretenida temas complejos como la exclusión social y la solidaridad.

This research aims to study the properties of sugar palm’s peduncle fibers (ArengapinnataMerr.) and the physical properties of handloom fabrics blended with sugar palm’s peduncle fibers. The peduncle of sugar palm used as raw material for fiber extraction and weaving were obtained from sugar palm found in Bor-Saen Subdistrict, Thap Put District, Phang Nga Province, Thailand. The research findings reveal: 1. A 10% w/v sodium hydroxide solution was most effective for extracting sugar palm fibers. The fibers yielded 43.21±0.30%.

Rock physics has been used to create a link between geophysical observable parameters and geological parameters and this makes it to be a part of reservoir characterization. Even though various rock physics models have their own benefits and limitations in reservoir formation. Set of data used were check shot, well logs and 3D seismic volume. The study aimed at modeling and analysing reservoir properties with rock physics properties to build a structural models and to understand potential hydrocarbon within study area.

Les forêts-parcs dominés par des espèces d’arbres tels que Faidherbia albida fournissent de multiples services écosystémiques dans les régions fragiles de l'Afrique subsaharienne, mais le déclin persistant de F. albida soulève des inquiétudes quant à la stabilité des systèmes agricoles et la sécurité alimentaire. L'objectif de l’étude est d'évaluer les perceptions de la population nigérienne sur la dynamique des parcs agroforestiers à cette essence, ainsi que les facteurs de dépérissement perçus, en considérant la diversité socio-économique au sein des communautés locales.

A number of large petroleum fields are located in anticlinal structures within the Niger Delta, and these fields may be considered as potential fault reactivation risk as time goes on. High resolution predictive model was generated in this study using 3D finite element models constrained by seismic with a view to improving wellbore stability predictions along the paths of future development wells. 3D seismic data, borehole and production data were integrated in the analysis and interpretation of detailed structural model of the study area.

L’objectif de cette étude est d’évaluer la perception locale de l’exploitationd’un complexe de massif forestier en zone semi-aride, région de Tahoua au Niger. Le questionnairerenseigne sur : (i) les organes d’arbres récoltés et leurs usages, (ii) la diversité des usages des organes prélevés en fonction des caractéristiques sociodémographiques des enquêtés, (iii) la relation entre les usages, les organes et les caractéristiques sociolinguistiques.
