2026-06-01T05:21:58+00:00

Employment challenges and job insecurity are major psychosocial stressors in modern society. Complementary practices such as Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) healing have been increasingly applied to address not only health concerns but also life situations, including career manifestation.
Objective: To document and qualitatively analyse a group YPV healing intervention aimed at job manifestation. Method: A group of 20 YPV certified healers and trainers collaborated as a team using YPV protocols, specifically the Blue Triangles technique for obstacle removal and manifestation writing practices for 11 participants who sought job manifestation. The online intervention was conducted collectively across multiple locations in India. Results: All participants reported successful manifestation of desired jobs and career changes with expected or appropriate remuneration. The group healing effort was perceived as more powerful than individual practice, reinforcing the role of collective energy in manifestation. Conclusion: This case highlights the potential of YPV healing as a complementary psychosocial tool for career manifestation. Group healing interventions may amplify outcomes, suggesting a need for further qualitative and quantitative research into YPV applications beyond health.

FROM FLEXIBILITY TO FULFILMENT: A STUDY OF HYBRID WORK ENVIRONMENT ON EMPLOYEE COMMITMENT AND HOLISTIC WELLBEING

2026-06-01T05:22:04+00:00

The model shift toward hybrid work environments represents one of the most significant structural transformations in the history of organizational behaviour. As enterprises transition from the reactive remote work policies necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic to formalized hybrid models in the 2024-2026 era, the focus of academic and managerial inquiry has moved beyond operational feasibility to the sustainability of human capital. This comprehensive research investigates the profound implications of hybrid work arrangements on two critical organizational outcomes: Employee Commitment, examined through Meyer and Allen’s Three-Component Model (Affective, Continuance, Normative), and Holistic Wellbeing, encompassing physical, mental, and social dimensions. Drawing upon an exhaustive review of empirical literature, longitudinal studies, and theoretical frameworks including Social Exchange Theory and the Job Demands-Resources Model, this study identifies a "Paradox of Flexibility." While hybrid arrangements significantly enhance Continuance Commitment through the provision of autonomy and cost savings, they simultaneously threaten Affective Commitment by eroding social capital and latent workplace functions. Furthermore, the paper reveals a complex dichotomy in wellbeing outcomes: while employees gain relief from commuting stress, they face rising risks of sedentary behaviour, digital exhaustion, and social isolation. The findings suggest that moving from mere flexibility to genuine fulfilment requires a strategic re-architecting of the "psychological contract," placing a premium on intentional social engineering, the mitigation of proximity bias, and the protection of manager wellbeing.

DHARMA: THE SOURCE OF BHARATIYA JNANA PARAMPARA

2026-06-01T05:21:56+00:00

Dharma is the guiding light of progress in a civilized society, fostering ethical order, collective well-being, and sustainable development. It is not merely a moral code or religious duty but a foundational epistemic category that informs and guides the processes of knowing, being, and acting. This paper investigates the interpretation of dharma in the context of education, situating it as a foundational principle of the Bharatiya Jnana Parampara (Indian knowledge system). The study explores how dharma, deeply embedded in the way of life, Duty of Human and aligned with the ultimate human pursuit of moksa (liberation), functions as both a philosophical ideal of life and a practical guide of livelihood. By examining its role as a normative principle, this research highlights how dharma shapes theoretical inquiry and cultivates prajna (practical wisdom), thereby reinforcing its relevance to the formation of ethical, intellectual, and spiritual dimensions of education.

QUALITY AND RELIABILITY ASSESSMENT OF YOUTUBE VIDEOS ON ZIRCONIA CROWNS: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY

2026-06-01T05:21:50+00:00

The increasing use of social media platforms has led patients to seek health-related information online. This study aimed to evaluate the quality and reliability of YouTube videos related to zirconia crowns. A total of 20 videos were analyzed using the keyword “zirconia crowns” with the default “sort by relevance” filter. Video characteristics (views, likes, comments, duration) were recorded, and content quality was assessed using previously defined criteria. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA (p < 0.05). The mean number of views was 152,353±132,001, and the mean viewing rate was 41,118±36,318. Most videos were categorized as moderate or poor in quality. Videos with higher quality were predominantly uploaded by professionals, whereas non-professional sources were associated with lower information quality. YouTube cannot be considered a fully reliable source of information for patients regarding zirconia crowns. Dental professionals should play a more active role in providing accurate, evidence-based content on social media platforms

BEYOND HUE: COLOUR IN EVERY ASPECT OF ELEMENTS OF ART

2026-06-01T05:21:48+00:00

Art is one of the most fascinating creations of mankind, providing humans with a deeper understanding of their surroundings and their relationships with one another. Colour has been a primary component of painting since ancient times to the present day. The First Painting made by cavemen was probably a simple line drawing or dot that carried colour. Without colour, one cannot imagine this world. It is one of the main components of nature and a property of light. Colour helps us better understand the world. Colour is one of the elements of art, which are the building blocks of any piece of artwork. The elements of art are: shape, line, form, space, tone/shade, colour and texture. Elements and principles of art are correlated; if elements are ingredients in a dish, principles of art are the recipe. Colour is also mentioned in the “six Limbs of Indian painting”, which gives information about the right use of colour and brush in painting. Colour and other elements of art work together, and more often multiple elements combine to give the desired result in painting. Painting without the use of elements is not possible, and to make it pleasing to the eyes, one should always take care of the right use of elements of art in the right place. In Indian or Western art, colour and the use of other elements are beautifully used in harmony, which can be seen in the paintings of the Lascaux cave, Ajanta cave, or modern art. This study examined the relationship between colour and every element of art, as mentioned above. This study will help us to understand that colour is not only one of the elements of art, but also how it influences and supports other elements.

MERGER AND ACQUISITION ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE “A LITERATURE REVIEW”

2026-06-01T05:21:59+00:00

This study analyses the impact of mergers and acquisitions (MandA) on customer satisfaction, focusing on how changes in company structure, service delivery, and brand perception affect the customer experience. The primary objective is to evaluate whether MandA activities enhance or diminish customer satisfaction and to identify key factors influencing customer perceptions post-merger. The research is based on secondary data collected from industry reports, customer feedback surveys, academic journals, and credible online sources such as Harvard Business Review, McKinsey, and Statista. The study examines several high-profile mergers in sectors such as banking, telecommunications, and retail. Key indicators include changes in Net Promoter Score (NPS), customer retention rates, service quality metrics, and brand loyalty indices before and after MandA events. Findings indicate that MandA often declines in the short-term following a merger due to service disruptions, communication breakdowns, and mismatches in customer expectations. However, in cases where integration is well-managed, long- term satisfaction improves due to enhanced service offerings, increased operational efficiency, and better use of customer data.

INSTITUTIONAL DETERMINANTS OF TAX COMPLIANCE: EVIDENCE ON POLICY EFFECTIVENESS AND TAX LITERACY AMONG ENTREPRENEURS

2026-06-01T05:21:47+00:00

The aim of the study is to study institutional determinants of tax compliance of business entrepreneurs with a special focus on the effectiveness of tax policy and tax literacy. This paper aims to understand the role of policy design and regulatory frameworks in shaping voluntary compliance and formalisation of entrepreneurial activities. Primary data is collected from entrepreneurs of India. The questionnaire was designed using a five-point Likert scale. Quantitative research design was used. The constructs of interest are tax literacy, perceived effectiveness of tax policies, complexity of regulation and tax compliance behaviour. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was employed to test direct and mediating relationships between the variables. The findings suggest that tax literacy and perceived policy effectiveness are positively related to tax compliance, while regulatory complexity is negatively related to tax compliance. Tax literacy was also found to mediate the relationship between policy effectiveness and compliance partially, underscoring its important role in translating the institutional provisions into actual compliance behaviour. This study adds to the literature by combining institutional and behavioural perspectives and offering empirical evidence from an emerging economy context. Highlighting the need to simplify tax legislation and the need to improve tax educational programs to promote voluntary compliance and to stimulate the formalisation of entrepreneurial activities.
