This paper examines the central role of silence (mouna) in the philosophy and spiritual practice of Sri Ramana Maharshi. Unlike many modern religious teachers who relied primarily on doctrinal exposition or ritual instruction, Ramana Maharshi upheld silence not merely as the absence of speech but as the very nature of the Self and the highest mode of spiritual transmission. The study explores how silence functions simultaneously as ontology, method, and realization in his teaching.

Purpose: This study examines the evolution of digital lending in India’s personal loan segment from FY 2018-19 to FY 2024-25 (till December 2024). It focuses on assessing market growth, shifts in borrower profiles, demographic and geographic outreach, and emerging credit patterns. The objective is to understand how digital lending platforms have improved access to credit, particularly in underserved areas, and to evaluate the inclusivity of these changes in terms of age, gender, and credit vintage.

This study aims to evaluate the influence of different teaching methodologies; traditional lecture-based, project-based, and technology-enhanced on student learning outcomes in mathematics and statistics within Nigerian tertiary institutions. Recognizing the critical role of effective pedagogical strategies in enhancing academic performance, the research seeks to compare the effectiveness, student perceptions, and identify the preferred learning method of students in Mathematics /Statistics..

This literature review article aims to analyze different training programs for runners of different performance levels, using case studies to explore how these programs impact the performance and physiological adaptation of athletes. The central research question addresses how different training programs influence the performance and physiological adaptation of runners, considering their distinct abilities, and what are the practical implications for optimizing results at each level.

Advances in geomatics and computational astronomy enable rigorous quantitative analysis of potential terrestrial–celestial spatial correspondences. This study investigates whether summit-point distributions in the Bosnian Valley of the Pyramids exhibit statistically meaningful geometric similarities with the angular configuration of the Pleiades star cluster (M45).

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has revolutionized various industries, including supply chain management. This paper aims to explore the application of AI in the supply chain and how it has transformed traditional operations by improving efficiency, reducing costs, and optimising decision making process. Through an in-depth analysis of AI technologies such as machine learning, robotics and natural language processing., this study provides an extensive overview of their implementation across different stages of the supply chain.

TiAlN coated carbide tools prepared by arc ion deposition (AIP) can be applied to high-speed, full-dry and semi-dry cutting due to their high thermal oxidation resistance and high wear resistance and low friction coefficient, which can greatly increase productivity. To improve the adhesion strength of TiAlN films, a TiAl intermediate layer was introduced between the substrate and the TiAlNcoating, and the effect of the thickness of the intermediate layer on the adhesion strength of TiAlN films was simulated and experimentally verified.

This study aimed to evaluate students’ perspectives on the institutional support, training, and ethical use of AI tools in academia. Using a quantitative cross-sectional survey design, data were collected from 108 students across diverse academic disciplines, with a focus on their experiences and perceptions of AI tools. The study examined institutional resources, including workshops, written guidelines, and online resources, as well as students' preparedness and views on AI’s impact on academic productivity.

This study examined the organizational commitment of Bureau of Corrections officers at Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan. It explored the relationship between work values, self-actualization, and job satisfaction, aiming to construct a structural equation model (SEM) to understand their collective influence on organizational commitment. The research design employed a quantitative, correlational approach, utilizing validated and pre-tested Likert-scale instruments to collect data from 522 officers through total enumeration sampling.
