Bessie Head, one of the most influential authors of South Africa, voices the marginalization faced by the women of her country. In her works, she narrates the tales of underprivileged village women and their predicament to exist as mere humans in their own society and among their own people. Though she does not consider herself a feminist, her protagonists are always females and they become the mouthpiece of the entire subjugated section of the society. Head’s short stories depict the breakdown of traditional structures of the society and also the erosion of security that the institution of marriage offered to the women. This paper is an attempt to study two of her short stories to highlight the suffering of her protagonists and also how they overcome them and present a new image of themselves.","PeriodicalId":338928,"journal":{"name":"Integrated Journal for Research in Arts and Humanities","volume":"121 32","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141125165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This temple, from the Vijayanagara Empire, is located in the Hindupur taluk of the Anantapur district. The murals from the Vijayanagara Empire are a specialty of this place. If one wants to witness the amalgamation of Vijayanagara's art, architecture, and temple craftsmanship in one place, then this temple is the most suitable. Here, there are many paintings and sculptures depicting various subjects. In the glorious Vijayanagara Empire, the allure of adornments is evident on all men and women, but the nose rings are nowhere to be seen.

Drawing on Critical Discourse Studies, the study adopts Van Dijk’s (2008) mental model approach to illuminate the party’s ideological perspectives and evaluate its consistency with declared liberal principles, specifically investigating how liberalism is cognitively reflected in CU’s discourse. Through analysis of CU’s discursive strategies claimed to embody ideological connotations across political, economic, and gender issues, the study identifies linguistic anomalies that point to a divide between liberal and non-liberal elements in the party’s disseminated discourse. This observed linguistic duality prompts critical inquiries into the consistency of the party’s ideological stance throughout a variety of contexts, a fact that stresses the necessity for further exploration of the social legitimacy of Moroccan political parties in relation to their circulated discourse.","PeriodicalId":338928,"journal":{"name":"Integrated Journal for Research in Arts and Humanities","volume":"7 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140672754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, it is essential to determine where the probability of groundwater availability is high and where it is low. In areas with low probability, there is a need for the rapid development of recharge structures. GIS and remote sensing technology is a crucial tool for obtaining information about availability of ground water potential as well as finding suitable site for recharge structures. The investigation will involve geological surveys to understand the hydrogeological characteristics of the region, including aquifer properties, recharge mechanisms, and groundwater quality. Additionally, environmental impact assessments will be conducted to evaluate the sustainability of groundwater extraction and its potential implications on the surrounding ecosystems. Furthermore, socio-economic analyses will explore the existing water usage patterns, community needs, and stakeholders' perspectives to develop inclusive and equitable groundwater management plans. \u0000\"This study focuses on the Dindori district in Madhya Pradesh, India. There are different factors affecting groundwater recharge, including topography, slope, land use and land cover, drainage density, geology, soil distribution, rainfall, lineament, etc. Satellite images provide information about land use/land cover, geomorphology, and DEM delineate slope, drainage, and lineament. They are classified into different classes and assigned weights. ArcGIS software was used for data integration and weighted overlay analysis to create a groundwater potential map for the Dindori district. The groundwater potential map is categorized into five classes: 'Excellent' (0.01%), 'Good' (9.78%), 'Moderate' (70.04%), 'Poor' (19.97%), and 'Very Poor/Nil' (0.17%).\"","PeriodicalId":338928,"journal":{"name":"Integrated Journal for Research in Arts and Humanities","volume":"55 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140735770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
