Present study is an attempt to understand the labour welfare measures provided to the migrant workers in the construction industry in Kerala.

It examines the implementation of the Indian Factories Act and its subsequent impact on Malabar's beedi industry during 1937-1941, focusing on the interaction between state, capital, and labour within the framework of British India's labour-legal history.

This study has analysed the economic value and current status of 11 important Ecosystem Services provided byAshtamudi, the second largest wetland in Kerala. Even though the valuation of a few ES has been carried out in earlier studies, this particular study has incorporated more services in valuation and analysed the change in its value compared to previous years. This study also tried to analyse the status of 'wetland features' essential for the sustenance of ES, the spatial changes of the service providing habitats, and its impact on ES delivery.

The challenges in each phase of rescue, relief, and rebuilding at the time of Kerala's 2018 floods and landslides were addressed in this case study. Through the strategic use of 'ecospatiality', it is shown that the 'state-society synergy' does exist in its potentiality, although, by and large, it is ignored in already existing 'riskscape' scholarship. However, the context of this study proves to be an ideal site for illustrating the possibilities of actualising this latent potential of ecospatiality through ecospatiality planning. Such attempts can, at the same time, be of local effectiveness and global significance.

Air pollutant concentration of Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of Kerala, exceeded the limits of National Ambient Air Quality (NAAQ) standards, according to a study conducted in 2015 by NATPAC. These polluted corridors harbour vegetation on roadsides and traffic islands, planted solely for aesthetic appeal. Analysis of air pollution tolerance levels of existing plants can act as a scientific basis for efficient planning of the urban landscape.

This article offers a cross-sectional exploration of the Covid -19 containment strategy in Kerala and highlights its initial effectiveness in the Kasaragod district, the first to record a second stage transmission in the state with a cluster of cases from 23 March 2020 onwards. The article explores the confluence of elements that allowed the initial successful recovery from a second stage transmission and then examines the factors that later led to community-level transmission. Given the close connections of Kerala to other parts of the world through migration, the article illustrates how precariously the local is now part of the global.

Bulletin of the National Research Centre, 44(198). https://doi.org/10.1186/s42269-020-00455-0
An attempt is made to assess the concentration of trace elements and pollution indices in the sediment samples collected from the coastal belt of Kerala and possible conclusions were drawn.
The results of pollution indices clearly indicate the moderate level of trace elements contamination in the coastal belts of Kerala. Significant correlations were observed between the concentration of trace elements and physicochemical parameters of the sediments.
