Kavita Suri — 2023-09-30

Digitalization is a crucial element in contemporary societies, playing a key role in achieving sustainable development goals and deeply embedding itself in our social, political, and economic lives. The versatile benefits of digital technology touch various aspects, empowering entrepreneurs, facilitating citizen engagement, aiding migrant remittances, improving accessibility to telemedicine, supporting flexible work arrangements, and enhancing educational experiences. However, the transformative potential of digitalization is not equally accessible, especially for women and girls facing barriers rooted in social, cultural norms, and gender stereotypes.

Jammu and Kashmir, the northernmost union territory of India, grapples with a literacy rate of 67.16%, notably lower than the national average of 77.7% (NFHS, 2022). The COVID-19 pandemic worsened challenges in the region exposing gaps in technology availability and proficiency, emphasizing the need for robust digital infrastructure. Unfortunately, ICT facilities in J&K are costly, limited, and unevenly distributed. Adding to these challenges is the pervasive gendered digital divide, hindering girls in the UT of J&K from fully embracing digital technologies.

This research paper aims to scrutinize digital device accessibility, assess the gender gap in device usage among women in the UT of J&K, and explore challenges faced by women in adopting digital technology. The study also seeks to highlight digital initiatives by the federal government, state governments, and the Government of J&K to address the gender digital gap. Additionally, it strives to provide practical recommendations for bridging this gap and promoting digital inclusivity in the UT of J&K.

Keywords: Digitalization, ICT Infrastructures, Gender Digital Divide, Digital technology.

PRACTICALITIES OF EVOKED POTENTIAL IN EXERCISE AND SPORTS SCIENCE

Puneet Bhattacharya — 2023-08-23

Evoked Potential (EVP) is an electrophysiological tool to measure sensory conduction from the eyes, ears and somatosensory areas in clinical settings since, computer assisted neurological techniques became readily accessible. First stimulus-based EVP on human scalp was recorded by Pauline Davis in 1939. However, EVP as a measure of neurocognition through sports performance and habitual exercise is a novel area of research. EVP appropriately measures the sensory pathways. Thus, making its application a worthy mention to understand cognitive growth among the players and practitioners. The objective of the study implicates the applications of evoked potential in exercise and sports to understand its practicality over other electrophysiological tools. Anatomical considerations along with Vedic literature references were considered to understand the sensory and muscular coordinates and the impact of regular exercise and training on sports players. Handful of available related literatures were gathered and presented in this conceptual study. Practicalities of evoked potential measures to portray three domains of exercise and training effects which include; Ball games, mind body exercise and graded training. Research is few and needs more study in this area, however available evidence clearly indicates that evoked potential is a direct measure of the sensory pathways represented as graphical wave recordings which are easy to interpret. Thus, EVP being a simple direct neurocognitive tool is recommended over the other techniques to establish the role of exercise in the development of sports players and practitioners.

MEDITATION: A THERAPEUTIC VIEW

Rekha Bhardwaj — 2023-09-20

Meditation is an ancient technique that has recently been extracted from its spiritual framework, and applied to therapy for the enhancement of personal well-being.Although we have limited ourselves to reviewing studies that refer only to meditation as a technique, there is abundant literature that relates meditation to a religious-philosophical framework. It could be argued that in extracting the technique from its theoretical and belief context, the meaning and effect of meditation is deprived of its essence--just as an interpretation, cognitive challenge, or a paradoxical injunction would not have the same impact/outcome when removed from its therapeutic context.There are different types of meditation, but all seem to be fundamentally based on the concept of self-observation of the subject's psychic activity in the here and now, with an acceptance of process rather than content. The practice of meditation has positive short- and long-term rewards, the main ones being a calm self-control, called 'the relaxation response'. These effects include a wakeful hypo metabolic physiological state and a balance of the parasympathetic or trophotropic and sympathetic or ergotrophic functions.The evidence of meditative physical effects is consistent with increasing evidence of the biological impact of psychological interventions. It refutes convincingly the stereotypical criticism that talking therapies 'do nothing' or are 'just' placebo.Meditation is not free from side-effects, even for long-term mediators or experienced teachers. Nor is it free of contraindications.

Burnout: A Psychological Aspect

VishwaDeep Kaushik Sagar — 2023-08-22

Burnout is a prolonged response to chronic emotional and interpersonal stressors on the job. It is defined by the three dimensions of exhaustion, cynicism, and professional inefficacy. As a reliably identifiable job stress syndrome, burnout clearly places the individual stress experience within a larger organizational context of people's relation to their work. Burnout impairs both personal and social functioning. This decline in the quality of work and in both physical and psychological health can be costly not just for the individual worker, but for everyone affected by that person. Interventions to alleviate burnout and to promote its opposite, engagement with work can occur at both organizational and personal levels. The social focus of burnout, the solid research basis concerning the syndrome, and its specific ties to the work domain make a distinct and valuable contribution to people's health and well-being.
