Chemical engineering is inherently multidisciplinary, integrating principles from chemistry, physics, mathematics, biology, and engineering to transform raw materials and energy into valuable products and services. Although traditionally associated with chemical processing and process design, the discipline has progressively expanded into areas including biotechnology, materials science, environmental engineering, energy systems, nanotechnology, computational science, artificial intelligence, and sustainability. This review examines the multidisciplinary foundations and evolving boundaries of chemical engineering, with particular emphasis on the interactions among chemical sciences, transport phenomena, thermodynamics, reaction engineering, process systems engineering, materials science, biological sciences, environmental engineering, and computational technologies. The review further discusses how emerging fields such as machine learning, digital twins, advanced materials, renewable energy, carbon capture, bioprocessing, and circular economy are reshaping chemical engineering research and practice. The convergence of these disciplines enables chemical engineers to address complex challenges involving energy security, climate change, resource scarcity, environmental protection, healthcare, food production, and sustainable manufacturing. By examining the historical development, disciplinary interfaces, technological convergence, and emerging research directions of chemical engineering, this review highlights the unique role of the chemical engineer as an integrator of scientific knowledge and engineering practice. The paper provides a conceptual framework for understanding chemical engineering as a continuously evolving multidisciplinary discipline and identifies opportunities for future interdisciplinary research, education, and industrial innovation.

The process of teacher education in India has been in a constant flux and has been continually evolving in response to emerging educational philosophies, socio-cultural environment and political changes, along with the changing national priorities. It is essential to be familiar with its historical development in order to understand the foundations of the present-day teacher education and the changes that are still being implemented in the profession for its optimal development. This conceptual paper looks at the evolution and development of teacher education in India from the Vedic period till the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the major historical phases, educational commissions, policies and reform movements which have shaped teacher education development over the years. The historical evolution of teacher education is explored chronologically, and every stage is analyses to gain insights into the contribution of each stage to the professionalization, institutionalization and improvement of teacher education in India. The review shows that teacher education in India has gradually developed from the informal Guru-Shishya tradition of the Vedic period into a more structured and professionally regulated system supported by national policies and institutional frameworks. The ancient and medieval periods played an important role in shaping the philosophical and ethical foundations of teacher preparation, while the colonial period brought a significant shift towards formal teacher training institutions and more systematic professional preparation. After Independence, successive commissions, policies and reforms significantly strengthened teacher education by emphasizing curriculum reform, practice teaching, institutional development, professional standards, continuous professional development and quality assurance. The review further highlights those recent reforms, particularly NEP 2020, seek to develop competent, reflective and professionally empowered teachers through multidisciplinary, integrated and practice-oriented teacher education. The paper concludes that the historical evolution of teacher education reflects a gradual shift from traditional approaches to a comprehensive professional system. It also suggests that understanding this historical trajectory is essential for informing future teacher education policies and strengthening the quality of teacher preparation in India.

This study assessed the impact of the WACOT Out-Grower Scheme on the profitability of smallholder rice farmers in Kebbi State, Nigeria. Specifically, it examined the socio-economic characteristics of beneficiary and non-beneficiary farmers and compared their production costs, returns, and profitability. The study is significant because it provides empirical evidence on the effectiveness of contract farming in enhancing rice profitability, and rural livelihoods. A cross-sectional survey and quasi-experimental research design were adopted. Primary data were collected from 540 rice farmers comprising 270 beneficiaries and 270 non-beneficiaries selected through a multi-stage sampling technique across seven rice-producing Local Government Areas in Kebbi State. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Cost-Benefit Analysis. The findings revealed that beneficiaries had better educational attainment, larger farm sizes, greater access to irrigation and extension services, and lower production costs (₦360,000/ha) than non-beneficiaries (₦396,800/ha). Beneficiaries also achieved higher average yield (5,200 kg/ha), total revenue (₦1,664,000/ha), net farm income (₦1,304,000/ha), return per naira invested (3.62), and benefit-cost ratio (4.62), demonstrating superior profitability. The study concludes that participation in the WACOT Out-Grower Scheme significantly enhances productivity, profitability, and institutional support for smallholder rice farmers. It recommends expanding farmers' access to quality inputs, extension services, irrigation infrastructure, affordable credit, and inclusive participation, particularly for women and resource-poor farmers, to strengthen sustainable rice production and food security in Kebbi State and Nigeria.

This article examines the phenomenon of printed photography in the context of digital abundance of visual content. It analyzes the paradox of contemporary photographic culture: the increasing number of photographs produced is accompanied by a declining value of each one and a weakening of the practice of returning to memories. The materiality of the print is explored as a special form of memory—tactile, ever-present in everyday life, and requiring conscious selection. Particular attention is given to the family album as a cultural institution for the transmission of memory between generations and the problem of the fragility of digital heritage. Practical recommendations for combining digital archiving with conscious printing practices are offered.
