Abstract: The present work examines Khwaja Ahmad Abbas’s Saat Hindustani (1969) as a significant cinematic text that intervenes in the cultural memory of India’s freedom struggle. Situated within the early decades of independence, the film articulates a vision of nationalism that foregrounds plurality, secularism, and collective sacrifice. By bringing together seven representative figures from diverse linguistic, regional, and religious backgrounds to fight for the liberation of Goa, Abbas crafts an allegory of the Nehruvian ideal of “unity in diversity.” The essay analyzes the film’s aesthetics, particularly its realist style, ensemble casting, and use of music, which align it with traditions of cinematic resistance and pedagogical nationalism. It further explores how the film challenges communal suspicion in post-Partition India through the central figure of a Muslim intellectual-patriot, while simultaneously reimagining decolonization as a prolonged historical process beyond 1947. At the same time, the analysis highlights the film’s silences, particularly its marginalization of women and erasure of caste, which reveal the exclusions embedded in nationalist cultural production. The essay argues that Saat Hindustani remains a critical cinematic archive of representative histories, offering insights into both the promise and the limits of postcolonial nationhood.

Keywords: Liberation of Goa, cinematic nationalism, unity in diversity, freedom struggle in film, secular historiography, postcolonial cultural memory.

Abstract: The general objective of this study was to examine the influence of social media marketing on sales performance of the mobile network operators in Kenya. A descriptive research approach was employed for the analysis. The focus of the study was on the marketing departments of three selected telecom companies in Kenya: Safaricom Plc, Telkom Kenya, and Bharti Airtel Kenya. A total of 2223 sales representatives from the marketing sector were part of the research. To achieve a representative sample, respondents were divided into two groups using a stratified sampling technique. The selection of participants was conducted through a simple random sampling method. Data was gathered through a structured questionnaire. An initial test was done with 22 participants from Safaricom, who were excluded from the main research. This study incorporated content validity, which evaluates how well the test items reflect the subject matter it aims to assess. The questionnaires' reliability was measured using the Cronbach alpha method. The analysis of quantitative data collected was subjected to mean and standard deviation-based descriptive statistical analysis. To understand the relationships between variables, the research utilized inferential statistics, including techniques such as multiple regression and correlation analyses. The findings indicated that social media marketing positively and significantly impacted the sales outcomes of mobile network providers in Kenya. The study concluded that social media marketing greatly benefits mobile network operators in Kenya by boosting sales because it allows direct customer engagement, helping operators understand preferences and tailor offerings, which builds brand loyalty and encourages repeat purchases. The study recommended that the companies should develop targeted advertising campaigns that focus on specific demographics and regions within Kenya, utilizing data analytics to identify potential customer segments.

Abstract: Kenya faces a substantial shortage of affordable housing, especially in the Nairobi Metropolitan Area (NMA), where swift urbanization and population expansion have exceeded available availability. Notwithstanding governmental involvement via the Affordable Housing Programme, projects frequently encounter delays, budget overruns, and poor quality. The significance of project environment dynamics is acknowledged, although the mediating influence of team communication on project outcomes remains insufficiently explored. This study, informed by Shannon and Weaver’s Communication Theory, investigated the mediating influence of team communication on the efficacy of affordable housing projects in the NMA. The study encompassed 24 projects executed from 2017 to 2024, gathering data from 264 participants, including project managers, contractors, developers, architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, and construction managers. Structured questionnaires were employed, and the data were analyzed utilizing descriptive statistics, multiple regression, and mediation analysis in accordance with Baron and Kenny’s (1986) paradigm. Results demonstrated that project environment dynamics did not exert a direct influence on project performance. They substantially improved team communication, which consequently had a profound positive impact on project outcomes. Mediation analysis established that team communication completely mediates the association between project environment dynamics and project performance. The study concludes that efficient team communication is essential for enhancing the effectiveness of affordable housing initiatives. It improves coordination, decision-making, and conflict resolution, therefore reducing inefficiencies. The study recommends that policymakers and project managers to institutionalize organized communication frameworks, utilize digital platforms, and enhance stakeholder communication skills to optimize project execution and improves Kenya’s affordable housing development.

Abstract: This study explored the lived experiences of retirable teachers in the Division of Carcar City, highlighting the challenges, strengths, and aspirations they encountered while adapting to the evolving demands of education in the new normal. Guided by Husserlian phenomenology, the study employed a qualitative research design and utilized Colaizzi’s (1978) method of phenomenological analysis. Teacher-informants were purposively selected and engaged in semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions, allowing for the collection of in-depth narratives. The transcripts were translated, analyzed, and subjected to thematic analysis to extract meaningful insights from their experiences. Five major themes emerged from the participants’ accounts: (1) Memorandized Directives Obliged Retirees, reflecting the limitations imposed by institutional mandates; (2) Reading Topics Bases for a Strategy like Audio-Lingual, pointing to reliance on traditional pedagogical strategies that may not always suit learners’ needs; (3) “Know-how” Feeling Turned into a Challenge, emphasizing the difficulties in mastering technology and transitioning to digital teaching formats; (4) Sacrifice to Serve for Better Outputs and Outcomes, underscoring the personal and professional efforts exerted by teachers to ensure learning continuity; and (5) Inconsistent Feeling of Satisfaction Leads to Minimal Learning Experience, revealing the mixed responses of learners and parents to Recorded Video Lessons (RVLs). The findings reveal that despite the constraints, retirable teachers demonstrated resilience, adaptability, and dedication to their learners and communities. It is recommended that the Department of Education–Carcar City Division utilize these insights in planning in-service training and workshops to better support teachers nearing retirement, particularly in integrating technology with pedagogy.

Abstract: This article addresses the current situation of social work activities aimed at prevention and early detection of mental health problems implemented in a number of secondary schools in Hanoi city. The research findings, based on a survey of 140 teachers and 400 students from 3 secondary schools in Hanoi, indicate that activities for early detection and prevention of student mental health problems are not conducted regularly. They tend to be formalistic, isolated, unsystematic and lack diverse methods and implementation tools. This current situation is influenced by numerous factors, such as the limited knowledge and skills of implementers, a lack of resources and support services and inadequate policies for implementers... From these findings, the article proposes a number of measures to enhance the effectiveness of social work activities in prevention and early detection of student mental health problems.

Abstract: In recent years especially in India, the political and economical reforms that took place has made a lot of change and one such situation is there has been increased push for Universal Health Coverage (UHC) at the Global level involving majority of the countries making it more thinkable about the Universal Health Care to make Universe a global health union of human beings who are made to fight with the health conditions. In this article which is an exploratory article an attempt is made regarding the importance and involvement of World Health Organization to advise and positive direction to its member countries to introduce reforms with a political will towards Universal Healthcare. It is easy for advanced and developed countries but difficult for developing countries and more difficult for under developed and undeveloped countries. The reforms and regulatiosn that took place since the inception of regulations with respect to healthcare through the advice of the World body and also the will of the nations in introducing healthcare, a predominantly basic right of every citizen which will reflect in our Indian Constitution under Article 21 with right to live under dignity likewise many countries have their own constitutions wherein importance of health to their citizens so clubbing all these together that forms the Universal Healthcare is not one nation or one countries problem but has to be tackled globally in a more understanding manner.

Thus the present tourism that has come into fore is medical tourism/healthcare tourism in which every country is making their own reforms and thriving hard for a Universal Health indirectly. Especially in India, the opening up of economy globalization of health, participation of private players in health (previously it is under the control of the government has made a dent in healthcare and now we can proudly say that we are in line and at par with the developed nations like USA, UK and Germany. We can authoritatively say that in Asia we are on par with Malaysia and Singapore in healthcare and advanced Healthcare Technology. Now even our neighboring countries of India are also making efforts to make Universal healthcare is not a myth but a reality.

Abstract: Affordable housing continues to be a significant socio-economic issue in Kenya, especially in the Nairobi Metropolitan Area (NMA), where demand substantially exceeds supply despite governmental efforts under the Big Four Agenda. Ongoing challenges of cost overruns, schedule delays, and substandard quality outcomes highlight the necessity to investigate project environmental dynamics and the possible influence of information technology (IT) applications on enhancing housing project performance. This study examined the moderating influence of IT applications on the link between project environment dynamics and the performance of affordable housing projects in the NMA. A descriptive study design was employed, focusing on 24 affordable housing developments launched between 2017 and 2024. Data were gathered from 264 respondents via a census methodology, comprising project managers, contractors, developers, architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, and construction managers. Structured questionnaires and inferential analysis, incorporating moderation tests based on the Baron and Kenny (1986) methodology, were utilized. The findings indicated that project environment dynamics had no substantial impact on project performance. Nonetheless, IT applications had a robust and statistically significant positive impact on housing project outcomes, especially in improving efficiency, stakeholder engagement, and decision-making. The interaction term between project environment dynamics and IT utilization was statistically insignificant, suggesting that IT did not modify the link between environmental dynamics and project performance. The study concludes that although IT applications directly enhance project outcomes, their moderating influence in the NMA setting is constrained by issues related to adoption, alignment, and readiness. It is advised that policy and managerial initiatives be implemented to enhance IT integration for sustainable housing delivery.

Abstract: This paper presents a biographical and historical account of Salipada K. Pendatun, the first Filipino Muslim Brigadier General and a pioneering political leader in postwar Philippines. Tracing his journey from a young Maguindanaon intellectual to a guerrilla commander during World War II, and later as a lawyer, legislator, cabinet member, and national statesman, the study highlights Pendatun’s multifaceted contributions to both the Moro people and the Philippine nation. It underscores his wartime heroism and his instrumental role in rebuilding democratic institutions, alongside his legislative and executive achievements that advanced social justice, economic development, and Muslim representation.

More importantly, the paper situates Pendatun’s political career within the broader framework of nation-building and peace-building, demonstrating how he consistently sought to bridge divides between the Moro community and wider Filipino society. His leadership reflected a deep commitment to dialogue, inclusivity, and reconciliation—values that shaped his vision of unity amid diversity. Anchored in archival sources, memoirs, and secondary sources, the study accentuates Pendatun’s enduring role as both a champion of Moro aspirations and a statesman of national peace and solidarity.

Ultimately, it argues that Pendatun’s legacy embodies the intertwined goals of governance, inclusivity, and sustainable peace, making him a historical figure whose leadership continues to inspire reflections on political representation, cultural coexistence, and peace-building in Mindanao and the nation.

Abstract: The study examined the effect of decentralization on local government's timely accountability in Mbale City Council (formerly Mbale Municipal Council) with respect to administrative, financial, and political gaps. A sample of 292 respondents was used in the study. Correlation and regression analysis established that there are relationships between decentralization and local government timely accountability, with (r = 0.689 for administration, (r = 0.695) for financing, and (r = 0.817) for political support. The findings revealed that there were some improvements in the administrative, fiscal, and political aspects of decentralization with a positive influence on efficiency in timely accountability (R² = 0.689, r =0.830, F = 115.315, and p = 0.000). As measures to improve local government's timely accountability, the study recommended that the public should participate more in information sharing to closely follow the performance of both political and appointed officials.  It was further recommended that both political and civil service leaders should be more accountable in the process of carrying out their responsibilities as agents of the people.

Abstract: This study examines the paradox of persistent conflict and elusive unity among Muslim-majority states, using Iran and Saudi Arabia as a case. It explores how sectarian narratives and geopolitical rivalries inhibit regional cooperation despite shared religious identity. Using Social Constructivism and Contemporary Conflict Theory, this qualitative content analysis investigates how historical grievances, identity politics, and external interventions shaped the rivalry. Drawing on journals, policy texts, and official reports, the findings suggest that intra-Muslim cooperation is more likely where pluralistic identities, economic collaboration, and diplomatic dialogue prevail—while sectarianism, proxy wars, and hegemonic ambitions intensify conflict. The study contributes to peacebuilding literature by proposing culturally rooted frameworks for reconciliation and calls for reform in regional institutions like the OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation) to foster durable Muslim unity.

Abstract: Mary Wollstonecraft’s seminal work, “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman” laid the foundation for modern feminist thought by advocating for gender equality through rational education and social reform. This research critically analyses Wollstonecraft’s concept of gender equality as articulated in the text and examines its enduring relevance within contemporary feminist discourse. By scrutinizing her arguments on education, women’s rights, and social roles, the study explores how her ideas can be adapted to address ongoing gender equality challenges in the 21st century, including barriers in access to education and persistent gender stereotypes. Furthermore, the research investigates Wollstonecraft’s philosophical influence on modern feminist movements and policy frameworks aimed at achieving gender equity, highlighting the continuity and evolution of her legacy. Additionally, it assesses the alignment and divergence of Wollstonecraft’s vision with contemporary debates surrounding intersectionality, inclusivity, and the fluidity of gender identities, recognizing that modern feminist theory has expanded beyond binary gender constructs. This comprehensive analysis situates Wollstonecraft’s work as both a historical cornerstone and a dynamic reference point, emphasizing the ways in which her call for equality through education and reason remains vital for informing current feminist praxis and social justice initiatives. Ultimately, the study underscores the significance of revisiting Wollstonecraft’s ideas to enrich and challenge contemporary understandings of gender equality, contributing to a nuanced dialogue that bridges Enlightenment-era advocacy with the complexities of modern gender politics.
