Neuroscience and Psychology: Bridging the Gap between Mind and Brain
type: item
description: One issue with the mind-brain divide is the intricate interplay between the fields of neuroscience, clinical psychology and psychiatry, and philosophy of science. Positioning with reference to certain conceptual/philosophical factors is necessary for research in clinical psychiatry and neuroscience. The purpose of this article is to review the diverse literature on the topic of bridging the gap between the mind and the brain. This review highlights the growing precision of theories in behavioural neuroscience, driven by advanced methods of measuring brain activity. Computational models linking neural networks to cognition provide promising insights into brain-mind dynamics and enable prediction of behavioural outcomes. A major challenge remains in constructing comprehensive brain-behaviour models across domains like memory, attention, and mental health. Evidence suggests that the brain functions as a self-regulating system, with self-control networks playing a key role in integrative health. Targeting brain-body imbalances rather than isolated symptoms offers a holistic approach. Though complete solutions remain elusive, emerging findings indicate significant progress in bridging neuroscience and psychology.

Mental Health Challenges in the Post Pandemic Era
type: item
description: The impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on mental health has been well documented. But in the latter stages of the epidemic and after its formal conclusion, very few research looked into mental health. Furthermore, not much is known about the psychological toll that the pandemic and various post-pandemic global issues have had on individuals. This article reviews the many research that have been conducted on mental health concerns in the post-pandemic era. It came to the conclusion that a worldwide mental health crisis has been brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, placing additional burden on already brittle support networks, especially in low- and middle-income (LMIC) nations. More stress is experienced by mental health professionals (MHPs), and treatment efforts are hampered by pervasive misinformation. People and families have been profoundly impacted by the loss of organised settings like businesses and schools, particularly women and young people. There are many people who have persistent symptoms of depression, anxiety, and panic. Psychological anguish is higher in vulnerable populations, such as individuals with metabolic diseases. Long-term mental health risks must be reduced, and post-pandemic psychological resilience must be promoted, by ensuring continuity of treatment via telepsychiatry, focused therapies, and comprehensive legislative changes.

Interdisciplinary approaches in Humanities: A modern perspective
type: item
description: In the modern world that is becoming more globalised, the exchange of cultural knowledge (including ideas, concepts, imaginative forms, and techniques) is not only beneficial for creative interactions, but also for facilitating "cross-cultural tensions or misunderstandings". Interdisciplinary research that may bridge the cultural divide across disparate disciplines and areas of study is becoming more and more in demand as a result of the humanities' present research that promotes cross-cultural academic knowledge exchange. This article review examines the many studies on interdisciplinary methods in the humanities that have been conducted. This review highlights that interdisciplinary approaches in the humanities have evolved significantly with the integration of digital tools, big data, and artificial intelligence. Digital humanities education now emphasizes not only technical proficiency but also the fusion of diverse disciplinary knowledge and practical application. Courses across universities reflect this trend, offering training in text analysis, digital publishing, and spatial humanities. The convergence of traditional humanities with fields like data science and IT fosters broader perspectives and innovative solutions to complex social issues. By bridging disciplines such as philosophy, linguistics, and literature, interdisciplinary research enhances dialogue and expands the scope of humanistic inquiry.

To study the present status of Wetlands and Rivers and its diversity near Bhopal district, Madhya Pradesh
type: item
description: The present study was conducted to assess the current status of wetlands and riverine fish diversity in and around the Bhopal district of Madhya Pradesh, with specific focus on regions including Bhopal, Sehore, and Berasia. Field surveys were carried out from multiple water bodies such as the Upper and Lower Lakes of Bhopal (Bhoj Wetlands), the Parbati River in Sehore, and various ponds and reservoirs in Berasia including Goretia Talab, Sagoni Kalan, and Semri Kalan. Data were collected through field observations, interaction with local fishers and vendors, and secondary data sources including scientific literature and IUCN assessments. A total of 54 fish species belonging to 12 orders and 23 families were recorded, with Cyprinidae being the most dominant family comprising 20 species, followed by Bagridae and Channidae. The study noted a concerning decline in the population of Small Indigenous Fish species (SIF), attributed to the presence of invasive and predatory species like Hypophthalmichthys molitrix and Clarias gariepinus, along with anthropogenic pressures such as pollution, habitat degradation, siltation, and unregulated aquaculture. According to the IUCN Red List, the majority of species observed were categorized as Least Concern, while others such as Tor tor were listed as Endangered, Wallago attu as Vulnerable, and species like Ompok bimaculatus and Chitala chitala as Near Threatened or Data Deficient. This study highlights the rich yet threatened fish biodiversity of the Bhopal region and underscores the urgent need for conservation efforts. Recommended strategies include controlling invasive species, promoting sustainable aquaculture, preventing overharvesting, and restoring natural wetland habitats. These actions are vital for preserving the ecological integrity of central India’s freshwater ecosystems and safeguarding indigenous aquatic biodiversity for future generations.

Study on Reproductive Biology of some Indigenous Cat Fish
type: item
description: The present study investigates the reproductive biology of selected indigenous catfish species Mystus tengara, Mystus vittatus, Clarias batrachus, and Heteropneustes fossilis collected from local markets in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, over a five-month period from August to December 2023. The research was conducted at the Department of Zoology and Applied Aquaculture, Barkatullah University, Bhopal. Monthly samples were analyzed to assess variations in total length, body weight, ovary length, ovary weight, Gonado-somatic Index (GSI), fecundity, and ova diameter to better understand the reproductive cycles and spawning seasons of these species. The maturity stages of the gonads were determined through macroscopic examination, and the GSI was calculated using the standard formula to track gonadal development. Fecundity was estimated gravimetrically by counting ova from different regions of the ovary, while ova diameter was measured using an ocular micrometer. The findings revealed distinct seasonal patterns in reproductive parameters among the studied species. Mystus tengara showed peak reproductive indicators in August, with maximum length (15 cm), weight (40 g), and ovary development. In Mystus vittatus, peak reproductive activity occurred in September, whereas in Clarias batrachus, reproductive maturity was most pronounced in October. Heteropneustes fossilis exhibited its highest GSI, ovary length, and weight in September, declining sharply by December. These variations in reproductive traits across species and months highlight their specific breeding seasons and reproductive strategies. The results of this study are significant for formulating conservation strategies and improving captive breeding programs for indigenous catfish in central India.

Study on ova structure of different gonadal stages of some Small Indigenous Fishes
type: item
description: The present study was conducted to examine the ova structure and fecundity patterns across different gonadal maturity stages in selected Small Indigenous Fish Species (SIFS). The investigation was carried out over a five-month period from August to December 2023 at the Laboratory of the Department of Zoology and Applied Aquaculture, Barkatullah University, Bhopal. Specimens were collected from multiple fish markets across Bhopal, including Kasturba, Vijay, Piplani, and Govindpura markets. Six species were selected for the study: Rasbora daniconius, Amblypharyngodon mola, Gudusia chapra, Puntius ticto, Heteropneustes fossilis, and Clarias batrachus. Total length, weight, fecundity, and ova diameter were recorded monthly. Ova diameter was measured using an ocular micrometer under a compound microscope, while fecundity was estimated using gravimetric methods by analyzing subsamples from different ovarian regions. Histological slides were prepared through alcohol dehydration, xylene clearing, eosin staining, and DPX mounting for structural observation of ova at various maturity stages. The study revealed significant interspecies and seasonal variations in fecundity and ova diameter. For instance, the maximum and minimum Fecundity for Rasbora daniconius are 13,912.29 in August and 3081 in September. For Gudusia chapra, the maximum and minimum Fecundity are 10,900 in September and 7013.83 in August. For Puntius ticto, the maximum and minimum Fecundity were found to be 23510.09 in August and 931 in November. For Amblypharyngodon mola, the maximum and minimum Fecundity were found to be 12147.07 in August and 1415.80 in September. For Heteropneustes fossilis, the maximum and minimum Fecundity were found to be 19208.48 in September and 15174.77 in August, and for Clarias batrachus, the maximum and minimum Fecundity were found to be 18320 in August and 10564.2 in September. These findings contribute to a better understanding of reproductive biology in indigenous fish species, …

Effect of Greenlight on the Growth Enhancement of Indian Major Carp in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh
type: item
description: The present study investigates the effect of green LED light exposure on the growth enhancement of Indian Major Carp (Labeo rohita) under controlled laboratory conditions. A 100-day experimental trial was conducted from September to November 2023 at the Department of Zoology and Applied Aquaculture, Barkatullah University, Bhopal (23.19894°N, 77.45225°E). Juvenile Labeo rohita were stocked in two fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) tanks: one exposed to green LED light (520 nm) and another subjected to a standard photoperiod. Physico-chemical parameters such as temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, carbon dioxide (CO₂), and alkalinity were monitored weekly and remained within suitable ranges for carp culture. Fish were fed commercial floating pellets to satiation twice daily, and water was continuously aerated. Growth performance was assessed through regular measurement of fish length and weight. Initial length and weight of fish were 4 cm and 0.6 g, respectively. By the end of the experiment, fish reared under green light conditions exhibited slightly higher growth (final weight 1.25 g; length 6.05 cm) compared to those in the standard photoperiod tank (final weight 1.19 g; length 5.9 cm). Survival rates were also favorable, recorded at 92.5% in the green light tank and 88% in the control tank. The study indicates that green LED lighting can positively influence the growth and survival of Labeo rohita, making it a promising strategy for enhancing aquaculture productivity in controlled environments.
