The spread of cholera across Asia, often intensified by trade and travel routes, made Ceylon highly susceptible. Colonial authorities in Ceylon responded to cholera with various medical interventions, often blending European medical methods with limited engagement with indigenous practices. This study explores the historical medical practices, quarantine measures, and public health policies implemented to contain cholera in Ceylon, providing insight into the broader context of colonial medicine and the development of epidemic control methods. While studies have examined cholera’s spread in Europe and parts of Asia, there is a lack of detailed analysis of Ceylon's specific medical responses, the role of colonial authority in shaping these responses, and the effectiveness of these approaches. Most existing literature centers on cholera outbreaks in Europe or British India, with limited attention to the localized responses in Ceylon. This study fills this gap by focusing on Ceylon's unique historical and colonial context. The study argues that colonial administration in Ceylon primarily prioritized European medical practices over indigenous knowledge systems, affecting the effectiveness of cholera control. This preference often overlooked the potential benefits of a more integrative approach to medical intervention, which could have improved disease management. This study employs historical research methodology, analyzing primary sources such as colonial government records, medical reports, and historical journals from the 19th century. Secondary sources supplement this research, including scholarly analyses of colonial medicine and public health policies. A comparative analysis of European and indigenous medical methods offers insight into their respective roles and effectiveness. The findings indicate that colonial authorities implemented various quarantine measures, sanitation improvements, and medical treatments, largely guided by European medical knowledge. Indigenous practices were rarely integrated despite some evidence of their effectiveness. The colonial government's preference for European methods and limited infrastructure hindered a potentially more effective response. This study concludes that the colonial medical responses to cholera in Ceylon were shaped by a Eurocentric approach that underutilized local medical knowledge.

The equation is derived by integrating the Kinematic Free Surface Boundary Condition with respect to time. The relationships among wave period, wave amplitude, and proportional wavelength facilitate the generation of both cnoidal and solitary wave profiles. In deep water, where wave dynamics are unaffected by the sea bottom, only cnoidal wave profiles are produced. In contrast, solitary profiles emerge through the shoaling-breaking process as waves approach shallower depths.

In view of the unknown original signal, this paper transforms the selection of wavelet decomposition level into a model selection problem through statistical modeling, and then analyzes and presents wavelet selection information criteria (WSIC) of orthogonal wavelet transform level selection from the perspective of model selection. Finally, simulation experiments are conducted to verify and compare the effect of the WSIC information criteria with AIC and BIC criteria on wavelet level selection. The results show that the level accuracy of WSIC is up to 15.1% higher than that of AIC criterion and up to 14.3% higher than that of BIC criterion, indicating that WSIC criterion has better stability in selecting wavelet decomposition level than that of AIC and BIC criterion in existing literatures.

Customers can now shop online while interacting with one another via social media and user-generated content. By investigating what keeps Chinese customers interested in social commerce, this study hopes to close a knowledge gap. Among the relevant theories examined in the literature study are TAM and TPB. In order to get a comprehensive understanding of the determinants that influence users' continuous intention to use social commerce platforms, this study intends to generate prior research on social commerce, technology adoption, and trust. This research shows how important it is to learn more about how Chinese consumers' unique cultural, social, and economic backgrounds impact their social commerce attitudes and behaviors. Perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and perceived enjoyment are the three determinants this research finds to have the most impact on Chinese consumers' long-term intentions to use social commerce. Furthermore, the research seeks to investigate the mediating effect of trust in these relationships. The study technique utilizes a quantitative approach by using questionnaires to obtain data from a sample of Chinese customers who actively participate in social commerce. The research expects to discover favorable relationships between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived enjoyment, and the continuous intention to use social commerce. Additionally, the findings of this research will provide valuable insights for both academic understanding and practical applications for firms seeking to improve user engagement and loyalty in the Chinese social commerce sector.

The equation is derived by integrating the Kinematic Free Surface Boundary Condition with respect to time. The relationships among wave period, wave amplitude, and proportional wavelength facilitate the generation of both cnoidal and solitary wave profiles. In deep water, where wave dynamics are unaffected by the sea bottom, only cnoidal wave profiles are produced. In contrast, solitary profiles emerge through the shoaling-breaking process as waves approach shallower depths.

A random sampling technique was used to select the household and an interview with a semi-structured questionnaire was carried out. Collected data were analyzed by using descriptive through SPSS and Ms. Excel and results were obtained. Through the collection and analysis of data from a sample of 100 respond-ents, this study delved into various aspects of Mandarin’s post-harvest status, including socio-demographic char-acteristics, post-harvest operation, and challenges faced by farmers. The findings revealed critical insights into the demographics of the surveyed farmers, their practices related to post-harvest management of Mandarin, and the issues they encounter. The study uncovered that while many farmers exhibit a lower understanding of post-harvesting technology including the use of chemicals, processing facilities, the effect of proper harvesting tech-nique, and other post-harvest handling practices on the shelf life of fruits, there is still room for improvement, particularly in post-harvest handling techniques and access to markets. Aggregate mean post-harvest losses were found to be 8.12% at the harvesting stage, followed by 4.05% at the grading stage, 3.07% at the sorting stage, and 1.65% during storage. The end use of market-rejected poor-grade fruits was also studied. The research also high-lighted the significance of farmer groups and the potential for training programs to enhance post-harvest knowledge and skills. Furthermore, the study identified critical needs among farmers, emphasizing the importance of access to essential resources, training, credit related to post-harvest management, marketing assistance, and improved infrastructure to improve Mandarin post-harvest handling in the region. These findings can inform tar-geted interventions and policies aimed at enhancing Mandarin farming practices, post-harvest handling practic-es, and improving farmers' livelihoods in the Gulmi district.
