Abstract

This study undertakes an incisive psycho-sociological exploration into the deleterious ramifications of chronic unemployment and intergenerational familial burden on the mental health architecture of youth in the Kashmir Valley—an ecologically fragile region in northern India. Reconceptualizing youth distress as a systemic syndrome rather than a series of isolated psychopathologies, the research deploys a methodologically triangulated framework comprising structured psychological inventories (PHQ-9, GAD-7), socio-demographic profiling, and advanced multivariate techniques including principal component analysis, correlation mapping, and K-means clustering. Drawing from a rigorously sampled cohort of 158 individuals, the study demarcates a typology of vulnerability: from aspirationally disillusioned risk clusters to resigned psychosocial survivors. The statistical architecture reveals a potent interplay between aspirational collapse, familial coercive expectations, and neurocognitive disruptions manifesting in sleep disorder, digital overuse, and suicidal ideation—symptomatic of an existential entrapment endemic to this socio-political ecology. Regional and gendered fault lines further inflect the mental health topography, necessitating granular, culturally attuned interventions. The findings advocate a paradigmatic rupture from deficit-based models of youth pathology toward an epistemology rooted in structural trauma, narrative alienation, and symbolic dismemberment of the self. In its culmination, the paper posits a constellation of novel psycho-social interventions—ranging from narrative reframing protocols and dialogic family counseling to circadian rehabilitation and mobile micro-mentorship hubs—aimed at transmuting paralysis into praxis. By integrating empirical precision with phenomenological depth, this research not only foregrounds the affective economies of disenfranchised youth but also reclaims the analytic agency to reimagine mental health beyond the clinic, into the crucible of socio-political rupture and restorative transformation.

Abstract

Seismic resilience remains a paramount concern in structural engineering, necessitating rigorous evaluations of material-specific performance under dynamic loading conditions. This study introduces a novel, data-driven comparative framework that evaluates the influence of material type—concrete, steel, composite, and timber—on the seismic response of buildings. Employing a dataset that integrates structural parameters such as displacement, stress, factor of safety, and failure modes, the research reveals distinct mechanical behaviors under seismic excitation. Results indicate that steel, despite its ductility and high stress tolerance, exhibits lower safety factors, making it prone to yielding under extreme loads. Concrete, while strong in compression, suffers from brittle shear failure. Composite materials balance strength and flexibility, exhibiting optimal behavior under seismic stress, while timber is susceptible to buckling, limiting its use in high-risk zones. The framework correlates seismic load, structural height, and deformation patterns, offering data-backed insights for seismic design codes and construction practices. This contribution aims to advance performance-based seismic design by integrating material-specific behavior into structural safety strategies.

Abstract

This article interrogates the juridical and ethical architecture of Islamic law as it pertains to environmental protection and the planetary climate emergency. It argues that the Qur’ānic anthropology of khilāfah (trusteeship), the cosmological notion of mīzān (equilibrium), and the prohibition of fasād fī al-arḍ (corruption upon the earth) constitute an ontological grammar for sustainable praxis. Prophetic dicta concerning frugality in water use, arboriculture, and the humane treatment of non-human creatures underscore an ethos of restraint and interspecies solidarity. Classical jurists, through the idioms of maṣlaḥah (public welfare), ḥimā reserves, and equitable water allocation, provided early normative scaffolding for ecological custodianship, while contemporary ijtihād—exemplified in eco-fatwas on pollution, deforestation, and greenhouse-gas mitigation—expands this discourse to address the unprecedented exigencies of the Anthropocene. The article further re-reads the maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, contending that the canonical objectives of preserving life, intellect, property, lineage, and religion presuppose the viability of the biosphere itself. By analysing Indonesian eco-fatwas, Islamic eco-movements, and interfaith climate alliances, the study reveals a capacious field of legal and ethical possibilities, even as it identifies deficits in policy coordination, epistemic integration, and public awareness. It concludes that an intellectually rigorous synthesis of Sharīʿah reasoning, empirical environmental science, and participatory governance can furnish Muslim societies with a distinctive, normatively grounded contribution to global sustainability discourses.

Abstract

This review offers an incisive and critical appraisal of the evolution, efficacy, and limitations of global climate change protocols and international climate diplomacy, with a particular focus on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Conference of the Parties (COP) mechanisms. Anchored in the latest scientific consensus from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the paper underscores the anthropogenic causality of global warming and delineates the observed and projected ramifications of climate perturbations on ecological stability, socioeconomic systems, and geopolitical equilibriums. Through a methodical examination of landmark accords—from the legally binding architecture of the Kyoto Protocol to the voluntary, nationally determined contributions under the Paris Agreement and the transformative aspirations of the Glasgow and Dubai declarations—this review delineates the metamorphosis of climate governance from rigid legalism to adaptive multilateralism. The study interrogates the efficacy of climate finance instruments, notably the Green Climate Fund, and scrutinizes barriers to equitable technology transfer, institutional transparency, and implementation fidelity, particularly in the Global South. It also elucidates region-specific vulnerabilities with a granular analysis of South Asia and the ecologically fragile Kashmir Valley, revealing the disproportionate burdens borne by climate-fragile geographies. Moreover, it interrogates the persistent North–South dichotomy, operational inertia, and political obstructions that thwart comprehensive climate action. Finally, the review advocates for a reinvigorated climate governance paradigm premised on inclusive multilateralism, innovation-driven adaptation, and equity-oriented accountability. It concludes that transformative ambition—grounded in justice, resilience, and scientific integrity—must now supplant incrementalism to avert climate catastrophe and forge a sustainable planetary future.

Abstract

The integration of resistivity methodologies in agricultural sciences has emerged as an indispensable tool for optimizing soil characterization, moisture assessment, and salinity management. Electrical resistivity techniques, including Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and Electromagnetic Induction (EMI), offer profound insights into subsurface heterogeneities, facilitating data-driven precision agriculture. The application of resistivity surveys enables real-time evaluation of soil hydrodynamics, enhancing irrigation efficiency and mitigating excessive water usage. Additionally, resistivity-based mapping delineates salinity gradients, aiding in the formulation of targeted soil remediation strategies. However, the precision of these techniques is often impeded by inherent soil variability, mineralogical composition, and external environmental fluctuations. Despite the sophisticated advancements in geophysical instrumentation, challenges persist regarding cost-effectiveness, accessibility for small-scale agrarian communities, and the integration of resistivity data with contemporary remote sensing and artificial intelligence frameworks. Addressing these challenges necessitates a multidisciplinary approach that amalgamates geophysics, agronomy, and computational analytics to refine predictive modeling capabilities. This review systematically evaluates the state-of-the-art resistivity applications in agriculture, synthesizing global research advancements to delineate their efficacy and limitations. Furthermore, it underscores the imperative need for technological refinements that enhance user accessibility and operational feasibility. By bridging the existing knowledge gaps, future research endeavors must prioritize scalable and economically viable resistivity-based solutions, ensuring their practical deployment in sustainable agricultural.
