Abstract: This paper proposes to examine the effects of the Educational ICMS on primary education in the states of the Legal Amazon, a region historically characterized by socioeconomic disparities and ongoing challenges in obtaining excellent education. This study employs a qualitative and exploratory methodology to investigate the implementation of the Educational ICMS policy in the states of Amazonas, Pará, and Tocantins, focusing on its impact on enhancing educational management and municipal performance in metrics such as the Basic Education Development Index (IDEB). The methodology integrates documentary research, a literature evaluation, and the assessment of secondary data from sources such as the School Census, SAEB, and the Information System on Public Education Budgets (SIOPE).....

Key Words : Educational ICMS; Legal Amazon; public policy; primary education; educational inequality; education funding.

Abstract: Social media has become an effective instrument for trade facilitation by improving cross-regional business exposure, market access, and communication. The growing use of social media platforms in the East African Community (EAC) has completely changed how companies communicate, market, and carry out international trade. But even with its quick expansion, little is known about how much social media influences trade in the EAC. This study looked at social media use and how it affects trade in the EAC, emphasising how it can lower transaction costs, expand market reach, and boost company performance. The study's particular goals were to ascertain how social media usage affects the cost of conducting business and to examine how it affects trade performance in EAC nations......

Abstract: Sex Ratio (SR) in India is adverse and alarming. Census data reveals that SR of India drastically increases from 102.9 in 1901 to 107.9 in 1991 and exhibits a slightly falling tendency in the Twenty First century. World Population Prospect-2022 data also show the almost same trend. In such a situation the present paper tries to explain the factors responsible for such an adverse SR of Indian population. Using Indian Population Census data and World Population Prospect-2022 data of United Nations this paper finds that Natural SR in India is unfavourable. Nature produces a SR at the time of birth which is significantly greater than 100. Use of sex selective abortions using modern technology adds some fuel to the fire of unfavourable SR and makes it more unfavourable. Enactment of Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act, 1994 in India only reduces some extent of the adverse effect of modern technology on SR but not eliminate it completely.......

Abstract: The expansion of social media platforms since the early 2010s has profoundly transformed political communication and democratic participation in India. Digital platforms such as Facebook, Twitter/X, WhatsApp, Instagram, and YouTube now function as dominant arenas for political discourse, public opinion formation, and electoral mobilisation. This research paper analyses the influence of social media on public opinion and election polling in India during the period 2010–2025. Adopting a mixed-method research design that integrates primary survey data with secondary academic literature......

Abstract: Coral bleaching is a major consequence of rising ocean temperatures and occurs when thermal stress destabilizes the symbiosis between corals and their photosynthetic algae. Understanding the mechanisms that drive bleaching is essential for explaining differences in resilience across reef systems. This review synthesizes evidence from laboratory and field-based studies to examine how heat stress alters coral–algal interactions and how corals reorganize their symbiont communities during recovery. A structured search identified 27 relevant studies; after screening, 14 full texts were assessed and 12 were included in this synthesis. Across these studies, heat exposure consistently reduced photosynthetic efficiency......

Keywords: Coral bleaching, oxidative stress, reactive oxygen species, thermal tolerance, symbiont shuffling, coral–algal symbiosis.

Abstract: This paper introduces the Coded Resonance Theory (CRT), a novel framework comprising a unique Storage Architecture, Retrieval Mechanism, and Systemic Logic designed to decipher the mechanics of human consciousness, Self, Dream and Telepathy. The theory proposes that Consciousness is the active transformative process that converts Alertness into Awareness—a massless, "photon-type" data product characterized by "Chromatic Indexing"........

Abstract: Background: Adolescent boys in Cranborne face an escalating mental health crisis, characterized by rising rates of depression, anxiety, and behavioural disorders. Prevailing intervention strategies, which focus predominantly on individual-level treatment, are insufficient as they fail to address the complex, systemic roots of the problem embedded within the community’s social, economic, and cultural fabric. This study proposes and articulates a paradigm shift by applying Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory as a comprehensive framework for understanding and intervening in the mental health challenges of adolescent boys in Cranborne........
