2. The Application of Artificial Intelligence in the Field of Mental Health: A Comprehensive Review

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into mental health care has ushered in a paradigm shift in how emotional well-being is assessed, monitored, and treated. Among the various AI applications, sentiment and emotion analysis has emerged as a vital tool in extracting psychological insights from unstructured data sources such as clinical notes, therapy transcripts, social media interactions, and mobile health applications. Leveraging advanced models like BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) and GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer), alongside psycholinguistic tools such as LIWC (Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count) and VADER (Valence Aware Dictionary and sEntiment Reasoner), AI systems are now capable of understanding and interpreting nuanced emotional expressions in text and speech. This review paper presents a comprehensive synthesis of current research and methodologies related to AI-driven sentiment and emotion detection in the context of mental health. We explore classical and deep learning approaches, hybrid models, and multimodal frameworks applied to diverse datasets including clinical conversations, patient self-reports, and public online content. Real-world applications such as AI-powered chatbots, teletherapy platforms, and real-time monitoring tools are examined in detail. In addition, we discuss the ethical implications, including data privacy, algorithmic bias, and interpretability, which are critical for the safe deployment of AI systems in healthcare settings. The paper concludes with a set of recommendations for future research, emphasizing the need for multimodal integration, real-time analytics, and personalized mental health interventions. This work aims to inform researchers, clinicians, and developers about the current landscape and potential of AI in advancing mental health care.

4. Application of Optical Communication in FMCW Radar

Frequency-modulated continuous waves (FMCW) radars are long-range, frequency-modulated electromagnetic sensors that can perceive their environment in three dimensions. Recent introductions of RADARs with frequencies ranging from 60 GHz to 300 GHz have expanded their possible applications due to their improved precision in angle, range, and velocity. FMCW RADARs have a better resolution and are more accurate than narrowband and ultra-wideband (UWB) RADARs. They offer several important benefits, such as long-range perception, resistance to rain and lightning, and more, and they are less costly than cameras and LiDARs. Even yet, their outputs are less dense and noisy than those of other RADAR technologies, and their ability to measure target velocities requires the employment of specifically created algorithms. Recently, radar sensors have become more and more common in a variety of industries, such as automotive, defense, and surveillance. This is because radar sensors can withstand a wide range of conditions, such as extreme heat, bright light, and bad weather. The simulation results were performed using Optisystem 22.0 and MATLAB (R2024b). The results demonstrate that 40 mW of power is effectively utilized for target identification, with the best technique for moving targets being direct detection.

5. Instagramming Architecture: The Social Media Revolution in Architectural Photography

This research examines the profound impact of Instagram on architectural photography in the 21st century. Once a professional and editorial endeavor, architectural photography has been transformed by social media into a participatory and highly aestheticized activity. Instagram's algorithm-driven visuals, hashtag culture, and global reach have changed how architecture is captured, consumed, and even designed. This paper explores the visual aesthetics promoted by Instagram, the algorithmic pressures on photographers and designers, and the ethical and cultural consequences of a platform-dominated gaze. Through extensive case studies—ranging from Ricardo Bofill’s Muralla Roja and Thomas Heatherwick’s Vessel to India’s Rani ki Vav and Studio Mumbai’s handcrafted works—the study explores both the creative opportunities and serious challenges introduced by this digital revolution. It argues that while Instagram has broadened the audience for architecture, it has also commodified space and design into fleeting visual content, often at the cost of cultural depth and spatial integrity.

9. Synthesis of Newer Benzotriazol Derivatives for Antibacterial and Antioxidant Potential

In response to pandemics and microbial resistance, novel heterocyclic compound spotent biological activity are needed. A series of (E)-2-(2-((5-(1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazol-1-yl)-3- methyl-1-phenyl-1 H-pyrazol-4-methylene(hydrazinyl)-4-(aryl) thiazole derivatives were synthesized via a three- component reaction involving pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde, thio semicarbazide, and substituted phenacyl bromides for antibacterial and antifungal study. Recent health research focuses on multifunctional compounds that interact with multiple biological targets, streamlining multidrug therapies and enhancing patient adherence. This study aimed to develop novel multifunctional chemical entities incorporating a benzothiazole nucleus, a structure widely recognized for its diverse biological activities. Benzothiazole has gained attention due to its role as a scaffold in various multifunctional drugs, making it a promising candidate for innovative therapeutic applications that improve treatment efficacy and simplify pharmaceutical regimens. To combat the growing threat of multi-resistant bacteria, scientists synthesized four benzotriazole and three benzimidazole derivatives using two distinct methods, recognizing the vital role of heterocyclic compounds in medicinal chemistry. These newly developed compounds were then docked with two protein targets, DNA gyrase (PDB ID: 2XCT and 3ILW), to evaluate their binding potential. The effectiveness of these derivatives was compared with standard antibacterial drugs, sparfloxacin and ciprofloxacin. This study aims to identify promising candidates for overcoming bacterial resistance, providing valuable insights into new drug development strategies targeting resistant bacterial strains through advanced molecular docking techniques. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health challenge, leading to higher mortality, morbidity, and treatment costs. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported in 2019 that only six out of 32 antibiotics in clinical trials featured innovative novel moieties, while the rest were based on existing compounds. This highlights the urgent need for new antibiotic development to combat resistance. Among promising candidates, benzothiazole derivatives stand out due to their broad spectrum of biological activities and significant medicinal applications. Their potential in drug discovery has gained attention for addressing resistance issues, reinforcing the necessity of developing novel compounds. Advancing research in benzothiazole derivatives may pave the way for effective antimicrobial agents to tackle evolving resistance problems and improve global healthcare outcomes.

12. Gender Disparities in Employment

Gender inequality in employment describes barriers to accessing opportunities in, and the treatment offered in the workplace. These disparities can result in pay gaps, lower representation of women in leadership roles, and a stagnating economy. Gender inequality in employment restricts a country’s full economic potential and sustains or elevates social inequalities. This study assesses gender disparity in employment in India on a zone-wise basis, by reviewing the NSDP, and gender-based labour force participation and unemployment from 2011 to 2024. The research utilizes publicly available data from government-sourced employment datasets such as the PLFS and MOSPI. The findings indicate various disparities in work engagement rates by regions and gender. Regression models assess the influence of male and female participation on the economic output by state. The study supplements fixed effects with year, allowing the study to examine whether states including females in the labour pool favourably correlated with inclusive economic performance. Overall, the study found that female labour participation was positively correlated with economic output under fixed effects with year. Urban areas typically have a higher full employment unemployment (UE) rate for females, against a backdrop of increased educational access to women, and the North-East demonstrates enhanced gender participation even with lower NSDP. In aggregate, the study identifies that structural changes, social changes, and natural, smart, and inclusive gender-based policy changes are essential to encourage equitable growth and to benefitably use a society’s economic potential.
