1. What do our dreams mean? The Subjective Meaning of Dreams

This study explores the subjective nature of "realistic dreams" among adolescents aged 15–18, focusing on how these vivid nocturnal experiences are perceived and interpreted. While much of existing dream research emphasizes physiological data like REM cycles, this paper looks at the personal side—how sensory details and emotional intensity make a dream feel indistinguishable from reality. Using a qualitative approach, detailed accounts from participants were collected via structured questionnaires to identify patterns in dream content and its connection to waking life. The findings suggest that realistic dreams are not random; they are deeply tied to the dreamer’s daily stresses, relationships, and spiritual beliefs. Most notably, the data reveals that the emotional "hangover" from these dreams frequently influences a person’s mood and behavior long after they wake up. By highlighting these personal narratives, the study argues that dreaming serves as a vital tool for emotional regulation and self-reflection during the formative teenage years.

2. Unlocking Holistic Growth: The Power of Art-Integrated Learning For Middle Schoolers

Art-integrated learning is an inventive and constructivist approach where students illustrate, experiment, and demonstrate concepts through various art forms. This method integrates academic content—facts, ideas, concepts, processes, methods, and skill sets—into the curriculum through the lens of different art forms. Instead of teaching art as a separate subject, educators use dance, drama, music, and visual arts to teach a variety of academic subjects in a more engaging way. By integrating academic concepts with arts, classrooms can achieve 360-degree holistic learning, targeting cognitive, socio-emotional, behavioral, and psychomotor domains. This paper explores 'Arts' as a pedagogical tool and its impact on a child's overall learning and development, emphasizing the role of art-integrated learning in promoting inclusivity in the classroom. Through mixed methodology and comprehensive review of existing literature and research studies, the paper highlights the benefits of incorporating visual arts, music, drama, and other forms of creative expression into core subjects such as math, science, language arts, and social studies. The dynamic and engaging learning environment created by art integration caters to diverse learning styles and enhances academic achievement. Furthermore, the paper underscores the importance of professional development and training for educators to successfully integrate art into their lesson plans and curriculum. Collaboration between co-curricular teachers and subject-area teachers can foster interdisciplinary learning experiences that promote creativity, critical thinking, and academic achievement among students. The effectiveness of art-integrated learning as a strategy for holistic development is reviewed through activities initiated in the middle school section of Kundan Vidya Mandir Senior Secondary School, Ludhiana, across various curricular subjects during the 2023-2024 academic session. The findings indicate that art-integrated learning enhances student engagement, motivation, and understanding of academic subjects, fostering creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving, decision-making, and collaboration. Conclusion: With the understanding of art-integrated learning and its practical implications, we conclude that art integration provides a holistic approach to education by incorporating creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving, decision-making, and collaboration into various subjects. It not only enhances academic performance but also fosters social and emotional development, making it an essential component of a well-rounded education. It also improves interpersonal relationships, empathy, emotional management, communication skills, and adaptability to the environment. Given its benefits, the use of an art-integrated learning strategy in schools, especially for the age group of 11-13 years, is highly recommended for its effective and positive outcomes in every aspect of a student's life.

3. Celebration of Nature in Muruganar’s ‘Ramana Tiruvempavai’

This paper explores the evolution of humanity’s reverence for nature. It traces how early man awed about the elemental forces, gradually changing the amusement into worship. One of the Pancha Bhoota Sthalas, the agni kshetra, Aruanchala is the central axis of spiritual devotion. It celebrates the saints and sages who have been associated with this place, Arunachala. The Tamil Poesy of Arunagirinatharm Kamban, Pamban Swamigal on Arunachala is mentioned and the poems of Muruganar Swamy in the twentieth century which are more than 30,000 verses stand as a monumental offering to Ramana Maharshi. His works are Ramana Sannidh Murai, Guru vachaka kovai and Padamalai gives us a combination of philosophical precision and devotional intensity. Nature’s splendour is also woven here and the silence of Annamalai is brought out. It is said that Muruganar’s poetry was similar to that of Manickavachagar’s poetry. Through Ramana Tiruvempavai, the classicam peace, solitude and natural beauty of Arunachala is shown vividly. It also makes us understand that music, dance and Tamil literature takes us to the Ultimate truth, rather than giving only the factor of entertainment. This transcends an individual to sacred portals of wisdom with Muruganar’s union of poetic genius, spiritual surrender and cultural continuity.

4. Ramana Pada Pancharatnam

Ramana Pada Pancharatnam lays the spiritual journey of Sivaprakasam Pillai. Pillai was the first to receive written instructions about self – enquiry from Ramana Maharshi. There were questions by Sivaprakasam Pillai and Ramana’s replies to them forming the foundation to the text ‘Nan Yaar’ (Who am I?), a ready reckoner to all Spiritual seekers. His experiences of meeting Ramana, his guidance to him and many other instances have been documented in the works – Anugraha Ahaval, Sri Ramana Charitra Ahaval and Ramana Pada Malai. Smt. Sulochana Natarajan inspired by this work of Sivaprakasam Pillai has composed music and presented the Ramana Pada Malai similar to the lines of Thyagaraja Swamy’s Pancharatna Kritis using ragas Nattai, Goula, Arabhi, Varali and Sri. The pallavi is aptly chosen as Ramanan Padam Vazhgave. The attempt to translate to Kannada has also happened here, giving the english meaning along with the verse. The text also includes stories related to the verses showing Ramana’s life – his compassion towards devotees, animals, and even sinners by reminding everyone about Self enquiry and emphasising on liberating oneself from this world or the cycle of birth and death, resting in the truth of the Self.

5. Copper (II) Schiff Base Complex: Synthesis, Characterization, Enhanced Antibacterial Activity and Electrochemical Drug Detection

A novel Schiff base ligand (L), namely (E)-N-(1-(2,4,5-trimethylphenyl)ethylidene)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-amine, derived from a substituted phenolic precursor, and its copper(II) complex were successfully synthesized and characterized using various spectroscopic techniques, including FTIR, NMR, and elemental analysis. Spectral investigations confirmed the coordination of the ligand to the Cu(II) ion through the azomethine nitrogen and phenolic oxygen atoms, indicating bidentate chelation and the formation of a stable metal complex. The antimicrobial activity of the synthesized compounds was evaluated against Escherichia coli using the agar well diffusion method. The Cu(L)₂ complex exhibited significantly enhanced antibacterial activity compared to the free ligand, as evidenced by larger zones of inhibition. A concentration-dependent increase in inhibition diameter was observed, demonstrating improved efficacy at higher concentrations. The enhanced biological performance of the metal complex can be attributed to chelation-induced increases in lipophilicity, which facilitate better penetration through the bacterial cell membrane, along with possible metal-mediated interference in essential cellular processes. In addition to its antimicrobial properties, the Cu(L)₂ complex was investigated as an electrochemical sensing material for the detection of Naproxen (NPR). The modified electrode exhibited a linear response over the concentration range of 1–10 μM, demonstrating excellent sensing capability toward the target analyte. The sensor showed a sensitivity of 0.13 μA μM⁻¹ and achieved a limit of detection (LOD) of 1 μM. The enhanced electrochemical performance is attributed to the redox-active Cu(II) center and the efficient electron-transfer characteristics of the Schiff base framework, which promote rapid and sensitive analyte detection.

6. Pain Recognition with Physiological Signals using Hybrid Models

The pain measurement is a very vital aspect of healthcare, but the traditional approaches offer extensive dependence on manual feature extracting through physiological measurements and clinical judgement. These conventional methods involve expert knowledge, they are time consuming and have a tendency to fail to be generalized effectively nor across various groups of patients. To overcome these shortcomings, this paper comes up with a proposal of an automated pain recognition model that processes physiological signals through a hybrid deep learning model. The model combines Convolutional Neural networks, Bidirectional Long short term memory networks, and Gated Recurrent Units with which hierarchical spatial and time representations of raw signals are learned automatically. The architecture captures the local signal properties as well as the long-range contextual dependencies which enhance the difference between pain and no-pain states. Further, a stacking classifier ensemble is used to improve the prediction robustness and generally improve its performance. The proposed method has a high level of reliability as experimental assessment shows that this method is accurate at the level of 99. The system offers scalable and intelligent capability of objective pain monitoring which aids in supporting the making of better clinical decisions and patient care within the contemporary healthcare settings.

7. Strengthening Hospital Disaster Preparedness at District General Hospital Matara, Sri Lanka: A Case Study of Preparedness Assessment and Improvement Strategies

Hospital disaster preparedness is essential for ensuring continuity of healthcare services and minimizing the impact of emergencies and disasters. Despite the availability of national disaster preparedness guidelines, hospitals face challenges in maintaining comprehensive and up-to-date preparedness systems. This study evaluated disaster preparedness at District General Hospital Matara, Sri Lanka, identified key operational challenges, and proposed evidence-based strategies to strengthen organizational resilience. A descriptive case study design was employed using methodological triangulation. Data were collected through document review, key informant interviews, direct observations, and assessment using a structured checklist adapted from the World Health Organization Hospital Emergency Response Checklist and national disaster preparedness guidelines. The checklist comprised 43 indicators across 12 preparedness domains. A study-specific Composite Hospital Disaster Preparedness Score (CHDPS) was developed to summarize preparedness across organizational domains. Operational challenges were prioritized using the Nominal Group Technique, and the highest-priority problem was further analysed through root cause analysis to identify underlying organizational factors. The overall CHDPS was 74.4% (64/86). The highest preparedness scores were observed in Recovery and Termination (100%), External Coordination (83.3%), Security and Access Control (83.3%), and Notification and Activation (80.0%). Lower preparedness scores were identified in Staff Mobilization and Welfare (60.0%), Triage and Patient Management (62.5%), and Debriefing and Quality Improvement (66.7%). The principal operational challenge was an outdated Hospital Disaster Preparedness and Response Plan, with root causes related to governance, organizational processes, human resources, and monitoring mechanisms. The study demonstrates that structured preparedness assessment combined with quality improvement methodologies can effectively identify institutional strengths and operational gaps. The proposed CHDPS provides a practical framework for monitoring hospital disaster preparedness and supporting continuous organizational improvement. The findings offer practical guidance for strengthening disaster preparedness and enhancing health system resilience in Sri Lanka and other comparable resource-constrained

9. Examination Integrity in India: Analysing the Role of Political Influence, Governance Deficits, and Institutional Weaknesses in Examination Paper Leaks

India has one of the world's oldest and largest education systems, where competitive examinations and board assessments play a crucial role in determining academic and career opportunities. However, examination paper leaks, cheating, and the re-conduct of exams undermine the credibility of the education system, affecting deserving aspirants' time, effort, and morale. This study examines how political influence, governance deficits, corruption, and institutional weaknesses contribute to breaches of examination integrity. METHODOLOGY: This study adopts a descriptive and analytical research design based on both primary and secondary sources of data. Primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered through Google Forms, with responses from 80 participants. Approximately 62% of respondents were school students, 17–18% were college students from institutions across Delhi NCR, while the remaining participants comprised working professionals from various sectors. Secondary data were collected from government reports, official documents, news articles, policy papers, and published research studies to provide contextual understanding and validate primary findings. RESULT: The findings reveal that most respondents consider examination paper leaks a serious threat to fairness and merit. They identified political influence, corruption, and weak governance as key factors contributing to these incidents. Secondary data further indicate that paper leaks affect millions of candidates, increase public expenditure due to re-conducted examinations, and weaken public trust in the examination system. CONCLUSION: The study concludes that examination paper leaks are not only educational failures but also governance challenges arising from corruption, weak accountability, and institutional shortcomings. Strengthening examination security, transparency, and institutional accountability is essential to safeguard meritocracy, restore public confidence, and protect the integrity of India's education system.
