International Relations (IR) theory, mostly expressed in English, acts as a ‘colonial dictionary’ that enforces Western ontological and epistemological frameworks, leading to epistemicide and limiting global thought. This paper argues that a genuine Pluriversal IR must actively incorporate non-English linguistic systems to access alternative worldviews. Through a decolonial analysis of key Chichewa concepts—mtendere (holistic peace), umunthu (relational humanity), and mphamvu (life-force)—we uncover a Malawian philosophical foundation for rethinking core IR principles.

An experimental study was conducted to assess effectiveness of deep breathing exercise in improving sleep quality among hospitalized patients in Apollo Hospitals, Gandhinagar. The ‘PSQI Scale’ was used. A quantitative approach with one pre-test post- tests study design was used to achieve the objectives of the study. The sample consisted of 30 from selected hospitals. The Systematic sampling technique was used to collect the sample. Inthe experimental group the mean of pre-test was 12.57 withstandard deviation 2.78 and post-test mean was 9.07 with standard deviation 1.98.

Le développement d'une société dépend de l'utilisation de toutes les ressources humaines qu’elle dispose.

Fluorine is increasingly recognized as a critical impurity in copper concentrates, with significant implications for hydrometallurgical processing, smelting, and environmental management. This review article consolidates and critically evaluates publications from 2014 to 2025, addressing the mineralogical occurrence of fluorine-bearing phases, thermodynamic and kinetic behavior during leaching and thermal treatment, and associated environmental impacts.

Reflection on the origins of color prejudice in Angola -if placed at a radical level- requires prior, accurate examination of its antecedents. As a product of theoretical research, this study presents the origins and forms of manifestation of this prejudice and analyzes its dynamics in two periods: under Portuguese colonization and after independence. It assumes that before the arrival of the Portuguese there was no color prejudice.

The "Viksit Bharat - 2047" initiative represents India's ambitious national aspiration to transform into a developed nation by the centenary of its independence.

Constipation is a prevalent and multifactorial gastrointestinal disorder affecting individuals globally, with higher incidence in females. This study evaluated a synergistic polyherbal-nutraceutical formulation containing Cassia angustifolia, Terminalia bellirica, Cassia fistula, Zingiberofficinale, Coleus forskohlii, Foeniculum vulgare, and rock salt, traditionally used to support digestive health. Preclinical quality assessments confirmed the formulation’s safety, potency, and compliance with pharmacopeial and regulatory standards.

Les études narratologiques portant sur les nouvelles littéraires indiquent un recours systématique de la part des auteurs aux actes de langage. En nous inspirant des trajectoires de ces actes de langage, nous mettons en exergue le concept d’acte déclaratif, en tant qu’élément fondamental de transformation du récit, pour ensuite en dresser, de manière systématique, un inventaire, sous forme d’une large analogie. Cette analogie s’organise en un ensemble de modèles imbriqués, offrant chacun un enrichissement dans la narration des récits.
