Driven by technology innovation and digital change, the US financial environment is going through a significant transition. The exceptional accessibility and simplicity of digital finance—which encompasses fintech, bitcoin, and mobile banking—benefits both consumers and businesses. However, regulatory frameworks, consumer behavior, and cybersecurity risks come along with this paradigm shift. Through the integration of contemporary literature studies and empirical data, this study aims to present a comprehensive picture of the digital financial landscape in the United States. We evaluate the revolutionary impact of digital technologies on financial services, client preferences, emerging risks like decentralized finance (DeFi) and cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and regulatory innovations and limits using a systematic evaluation approach. Our findings underscore the multifaceted nature of digital banking and point to important trends, drivers, and stakeholder implications. We suggest enhancing regulatory coordination, fostering financial education and awareness, putting robust cybersecurity measures in place, supporting regulatory innovation, fortifying consumer protection measures, and keeping an eye on and responding to emerging risks to address the opportunities and challenges that have been identified. By putting these suggestions into practice, regulators, legislators, and business stakeholders will be able to handle the complexities of the digital banking ecosystem and fully utilize its potential to promote innovation, financial inclusion, and economic growth.

Kazi Nazrul Islam, renowned for his poetry and literary works, championed Hindu-Muslim unity and secularism in India. Born into poverty and influenced by revolutionary ideals, Nazrul's writings emphasized humanity over religious divisions. He critiqued both Hindu and Muslim extremism, promoting a universalistic approach to religion. His literature sought to bridge communal divides, advocating for the harmony of souls and the recognition of truth across faiths. Nazrul's legacy of secularism remains profoundly relevant today, offering guidance in a world still grappling with religious intolerance and division. His efforts in fostering unity and challenging religious dogma remain relevant today as communal conflicts persist, highlighting his enduring legacy as a flow of harmony and social justice.

Narayan Gangopadhyay's literary works were profoundly influenced by the socio-political upheavals of the 1940s, particularly the Quit India Movement and the Bengal Famine of 1943. His stories depict the grim reality of famine-stricken Bengal, highlighting the exploitation and suffering of the common people. Gangopadhyay's storytelling, rich in descriptive skill and humanistic values, brings to life the struggles and resilience of his characters. His first story, "Pashapashi," contrasts the lives of a wealthy family and a poor family, reflecting societal disparities. His collection "Bitangsha" features the story of Sundarlal, a cunning broker posing as a saint, showcasing his bold romantic imagination and environmental composition. Some of his stories depicting the famine are "Nakrocharit", "Dusshashon", "Haar", and "Dinner". These stories depict the harsh realities of the famine and the transformation of society during that time.Overall, Gangopadhyay's work offers a poignant commentary on the human condition during a tumultuous era in Bengal's history.

This systematic literature review (SLR) examines the evolution, effectiveness, and challenges associated with English for Specific Purposes (ESP) teaching materials, with a focus on their integration of digital technologies, learner-centered design, and cultural inclusivity. Through a comprehensive analysis guided by the PRISMA method, 87 studies from 2000 to 2023 were evaluated. The findings reveal a significant shift towards incorporating digital tools in ESP materials, highlighting the growing emphasis on creating immersive and interactive learning experiences. Additionally, the review underscores the importance of developing materials tailored to the learners' specific needs and cultural contexts, facilitating more meaningful engagement and language acquisition. Despite the observed benefits, challenges such as the necessity for ongoing teacher training and the absence of standardized evaluation frameworks for ESP materials were identified. Recommendations include enhancing digital integration, prioritizing learner-centered and culturally inclusive materials, investing in teacher training, developing evaluation frameworks, fostering collaborative material development, ensuring accessibility, and conducting longitudinal impact studies. This SLR sets a foundation for future research and development in ESP material design and implementation, aiming to support learners' language learning goals and professional aspirations effectively.

Language change, a fundamental aspect of human communication, has long been a central focus in linguistic research. Traditional methods of analysis, while valuable, have been limited by the scale and complexity of linguistic data. The advent of machine learning (ML) offers transformative potential in this field, enabling the analysis of vast datasets and the discovery of subtle patterns that may elude manual scrutiny. This review paper comprehensively examines the current state of ML methodologies in the study of language change, synthesizing findings from 67 peer-reviewed articles. We delve into diverse ML approaches, including supervised, unsupervised, and deep learning techniques, and critically evaluate their applications across various linguistic domains, such as historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, and language contact. We address challenges related to data availability, bias, and model interpretability, emphasizing the need for transparent and rigorous methodologies. By summarizing key findings and outlining future directions, this review aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration between linguists and computer scientists, advancing our understanding of the complex dynamics of language evolution.

The textile industry is undergoing a remarkable transformation due to the global push towards sustainability. This research explores consumer perceptions and purchasing trends regarding eco-friendly textile products in the U.S. market. A structured survey was conducted among 1,000 adult U.S. consumers to identify key factors influencing purchasing decisions and provide insights into the textile industry. The findings reveal broadly positive consumer perceptions of eco-friendly textiles, driven by environmental awareness, social responsibility, and health considerations. However, challenges remain regarding affordability and availability, limiting widespread adoption. Different consumer segments—Green Enthusiasts, Pragmatic Purchasers, and Skeptical Shoppers—require tailored strategies to address their unique preferences and barriers. Recommendations include investing in sustainable supply chains to reduce production costs, collaborating with certification bodies to build consumer trust, and leveraging digital platforms for consumer education. Future research directions include exploring shifts in sustainability perceptions due to COVID-19, comparative studies across generations, and global market analysis to uncover cultural influences on sustainable fashion.

This research paper explores the strategic implementation of advanced business analytics within EcoFashions Ltd., a mid-sized company in the textile and fashion industry. The central question it addresses is: How can a specific company leverage advanced analytics in the fashion sector for sustainable growth? Through a qualitative case study approach, the research examines the strategic implementation of analytics at EcoFashions to enhance operational efficiency, drive innovation, and promote sustainability. The findings reveal that the integration of analytics at EcoFashions led to a 25% reduction in material waste and a 15% increase in production efficiency, while also fostering product innovation responsive to market trends. These outcomes not only highlight the potential of business analytics to transform traditional practices within the fashion industry but also suggest that other firms can adopt similar strategies to achieve substantial improvements in sustainability and operational performance. The paper concludes with reflections on the limitations of a single case study and proposes directions for future research to validate and expand upon these findings across the broader industry. This study contributes to understanding how data-driven strategies can facilitate significant sector-wide advancements in sustainability and innovation in the textile and fashion industries.
