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.

11. 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.

13. Geometrical Approach to Kepler’s Laws of Planetary Motion

We know that the earth is a planet revolving round the sun is an elliptical orbit, the sun being at the focus. The time taken by the earth to complete one revolution is called an year which is equal to 365.25 days relative to the earth the sun describes an ellipse round the earth. The elementary pen and string method to draw ellipse has been devised to examine planetary orbits on the basis of the Kepler's Laws. Besides qualitative feature of the orbits. Quantitative depends of the orbital shape on the quantities appearing in the Kepler's Laws can also be analyzed with simple geometrical procedures. The method thus provides a relevant intermediate step to students prior to the study of the rigorous theory of central force problems. The students were asked questions relating to Kepler's three laws of motion, as well as what keeps planets in orbit around the sun. Less common ideas include a mix of circular and highly elliptical orbital shapes. Many students have conceptions consistent with the Kepler's second and third laws of motion and the case with which the models are adopted by students may suggests some ways to teach these concepts the types of ideas about orbital shapes and orbital behavior may originate in common depictions of orbits often seen in print and on the internet.

Users can perform content-based searches that reveal files through the extraction of textual contents within documents and optimize the retrieval process for research databases as well as legal document search and enterprise knowledge management solutions [2]. A full-text search technique-powered document retrieval system, which seeks to create a content-based file searching mechanism, is analyzed within this report. These search systems implement ranking as their main step to evaluate document relevance through the combination of term frequency and document length analysis with inverse document frequency factors [3]. The foundation for improving search accuracy and efficiency depends heavily on knowledge about directory creation as well as score calculation methods. The research also explores performance comparison between Whoosh and Elasticsearch regarding their scaling capabilities and their abilities to index data and respond to search queries and rank results [4]. Whoosh functions best for compact document sets, yet Elasticsearch delivers real-time search functionality for extensive data collections. The final report will present the most effective solution for creating a content-based search system with high performance levels for various application domains.

18. EV BMS with Charge Monitoring and Fire Protection

In the silent heartbeat of our electrified era, lithium-ion batteries hum with potential and peril, their compact chemistry balancing progress on the knife’s edge of combustion. As thermal runaway lurks—unseen, unbidden, catastrophic—the Battery Management System (BMS) emerges not as a passive overseer but as an intelligent, multi-layered oracle of prevention, prediction, and protection. Within this chaotic choreography of heat, gas, pressure, and current, sensors become storytellers, whispering the earliest murmurs of disaster; algorithms, trained on the echoes of past failures, thread together anomalies into foresight; and suppression technologies, ever-vigilant, stand ready to suffocate the spark before it breathes. This paper explores the hybrid symphony of emergent AI, sensor fusion, and real-time control systems, where layered architectures form not just circuits, but cybernetic guardians. No longer are BMS mere managers; they are sentinels, anatomies of foresight crafted in silicon and code, promising not just energy, but safe, self-aware power in a world increasingly defined by its electric pulse.

19. Real-Time Bicep Curl Tracking and Pose Detection Using OpenCV and Media-Pipe

Human pose estimation is crucial for enabling real-time monitoring of physical exercise via the analysis of movement and orientation of the body. However, existing pose estimation techniques are prone to major flaws such as mislocalization of joints, occlusion issues, and mis-recognition of repetition of exercises. Such flaws undermine the efficacy and reliability of fitness tracking systems. In an attempt to address these flaws, the present study proposes a real-time bicep curl tracking system based on OpenCV and MediaPipe. The proposed system is designed to accurately estimate human pose, calculate joint angles, and provide automatic user feedback. One of the system's basic features is that it uses a state-based repetition counter, which improves accuracy in repetition detection by eliminating false positives caused by minor landmark placement variation. The system only detects repetitions when form is proper and range of motion is full. In addition to providing real-time feedback on posture changes and detecting improper exercise form, the system effectively eliminates the risk of injury during the execution of strength training exercises. It provides real-time feedback on posture changes and incorrect exercise form. Through empirical analysis, the system proposed has a remarkable accuracy of 96% in quantifying repetitions, which outperforms the performance of the traditional pose tracking models. The high accuracy verifies the system's robustness as well as its usability in real-world fitness applications. Findings indicate that the integration of AI-driven pose estimation and feedback mechanisms can potentially make personalized fitness training much more effective. Together with real-time correction and individualized data, these technologies can improve efficiency in training while motivating safer training habits. This work contributes to the growing field of AI-driven health and fitness technology and opens the door to more advanced and responsive physical activity monitoring devices

21. Invisible Economies: The Gendered Burden and Cultural Dimensions of Unpaid Labour

This paper critically examines the pervasive issue of unpaid labour through a gendered lens, focusing on its systemic normalization and deeply entrenched roots in patriarchal traditions. Primarily undertaken by women, unpaid labour includes caregiving, household maintenance, and community service—tasks essential to the functioning of society yet systematically excluded from economic valuations and policy recognition. Drawing on feminist economic theory, particularly the work of Marilyn Waring, the paper explores how unpaid work perpetuates gender inequality by limiting women's access to education, employment, and leadership roles. Cultural contexts, especially in South Asia, further entrench these roles, framing domestic work as a woman's natural duty. The discussion incorporates cross-cultural comparisons, highlighting how traditions, economic transformations, and evolving gender norms affect perceptions of labour equity. Additionally, the mental health ramifications of this invisible burden are analysed, revealing a gendered gap rooted in structural inequities and societal expectations. By exposing the fiction of the "head of household," the paper advocates for an equitable redistribution of unpaid work, challenging outdated norms and emphasizing the shared responsibility of dismantling patriarchal labour divisions. Recognising and valuing unpaid labour is crucial not only for women's empowerment but for redefining partnerships and societal well-being at large.

22. Thyroid Gland Abnormality Detection Using Pre-Trained Neural Networks

Medical image analysis plays a crucial role in the early detection and diagnosis of thyroid nodules, which are indicative of various thyroid illnesses. Thyroid nodules are classified using machine learning methods like Random Forest and Support Vector Machine in the current framework. In this work, we propose a unique use of transfer learning algorithms to thyroid nodule categorization. Neural network models that have already been trained on large datasets are modified for specific tasks that require less data through the use of transfer learning. Our approach involves using a state-of-the-art convolutional neural network (CNN) that has been pre-trained on a range of medical pictures to extract significant information from thyroid ultrasound scans. To optimize its performance for accurate classification, the model is trained on a particular dataset of thyroid nodule images. We examine the effectiveness of many transfer learning architectures, such as VGG16 and Xception CNN, and assess their overall accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. The proposed methodology aims to provide physicians with a reliable thyroid problem diagnosis tool by increasing the categorization efficiency of thyroid nodules. The results pave the way for more precise thyroid image analysis, diagnosis by demonstrating how transfer learning can be utilized to maximize model performance even in the presence of sparsely labelled medical data.

25. Divided by Wealth: A Deep Dive into Women’s Access to Credit

Women’s access to credit has historically been restricted by systemic discrimination and by outdated financial structures, limiting female economic independence and business opportunities. While landmark pieces of legislation such as the 1974 Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) in the United States have attempted to address these issues, research continues to indicate that gender biases in credit persist. While previous academic studies have examined econometrics, Fletschner (2008), and legal reforms, Garikipati (2008), this paper argues that deeply ingrained societal biases continue to shape credit lending systems, disproportionately disadvantaging women. By analyzing case studies from the United States, India, and South Korea, this research evaluates how gender-based disparities in credit access manifest across different economic and cultural contexts. The study incorporates data from financial institutions, government reports, and scholarly articles to highlight ongoing barriers. Ultimately, this paper argues that while progress has been made, financial institutions remain skewed in favor of men, necessitating policy changes that prioritize inclusivity and fairness. Without reform, women will continue to face unnecessary hurdles in obtaining credit, reinforcing long-standing economic inequalities.

28. Vision Assist System Using Deep Learning For Product And Text Recognition For Blind People

For blind persons it is very essential to recognize a product of their daily use so we implied a method to identify product in their everyday routine by use of camera. To separate an object from un-necessary background, movement-based technique is used to spot object of concern from the camera by instructing person about recognized objects. The goal of the present project is to model an object detector to detect objects for visually impaired people and other commercial purposes by recognizing the objects at a particular distance. Available old techniques for object detection needed large training data it takes more time and it’s quite complicated and it’s a difficult task. Object detection is used in many scenarios. Conventional methods of these object detection depend on huge number of datasets and it also takes large amount of time to train these data. Training of small or unseen objects is a more challenging task. Human brains and visual systems are more accurate and faster in detecting objects in real time and has conscious thoughts in detecting obstacles. Due to the availability of large amount of data and with more advanced technologies and better working algorithms, classification and detection of multiple objects in the same frame has become easy with high accuracy. The main objective of the project is to design and implement a real time object recognition using real time camera with navigation system. And also using implement text detection and recognition system to extract the text from captured image using Optical character recognition algorithm. We can implement the system in real time environment using Python as front end.

29. OpenXploit: An Automated Approach to Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing

Vulnerability assessment (VA) and penetration testing (Pen-Test) are required for security auditing and compliance. Converting VA scan results to be usable in Pen-Test tools is difficult because it must be done at various stages using software tools. This paper describes a system that automatically converts Open Vulnerability Assessment Scanner results into exploitable scripts for Metasploit, an open-source pen-testing program. It targets the top ten vulnerabilities identified by the Open Web Application Security Project and tests them with Metasploit. The system consists of three major components: Scan Result Extraction, which extracts VA scan results related to OWASP 10 vulnerabilities; Target List Repository, which stores vulnerability lists for Metasploit; and Automated Shell Scripts Exploitation, which generates scripts to render the exploit module for execution in Metasploit. The prototype was tested with a variety of scenarios, converting scan results to shell code and rendering them in Metasploit. The experimental results confirmed that the system was functionally correct across all test cases.

37. Utilization of by Product & Using Advanced Machine for Solid and Liquid Waste Management- Hotels

The concern on large quantity of the waste being produced both in the form of food and liquid waste, the concept of waste management becomes one of the keys focuses of sustainable development principles which is based on policies, and practices that are resource conserving, follow standards that can be met in the long term, and respect values of equity in human access to resources. It is estimated that people in rural India are generating 0.3 to 0.4 million metric tons of organic/recyclable food waste per day, and that 88% of the total disease burden is due to a lack of clean water, sanitation, and improper food waste management. In the absence of proper disposal of food and liquid waste, they are leading to vector-borne diseases such as diarrhoea, Malaria, Polio, Dengue, Cholera, Typhoid, and other waterborne infections such as schistosomiasis. Close to 88% of the total disease load is due to lack of clean water and sanitation, and the improper food and liquid waste management-which intensify their occurrence. Hotel garbage management is poor. Poor collection and transportation of municipal food waste are caused by a lack of acceptable infrastructure, underestimated trash creation rates, inadequate management and technical capabilities, and inefficient collection and route design. This research aims to classify the types of trash generated in hotels and restaurants, as well as their sources, harmful impacts on the environment and human health, and existing waste treatment strategies.

38. Mechanical Performance of Concrete with EOF Steel Slag as Partial Replacement for Coarse Aggregates

All Steel manufacturing industry generates by-products today, and one such by-product is Energy Optimized Furnace slag, i.e, EOF, steel slag. But EOF steel slag is less used in cement manufacturing. This study examines the feasibility of using EOF steel slag to replace natural aggregates in concrete, with the intention of minimizing waste disposal and conserving natural resources. Standardized tests were conducted to evaluate the physical, chemical, and mechanical characteristics of EOF steel slag. The results thus obtained were compared with those of natural aggregates. Concrete mix proportions were formulated in this research to obtain M30 grade concrete. The natural coarse aggregate in the designed mix was replaced with EOF steel slag aggregate at different percentages, from 0% to 100% in steps of 10%. Experimental studies were carried out to analyze the properties of fresh and hardened concrete, such as workability, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and flexural strength, for various replacement percentages of EOF steel slag aggregate. The best replacement ratio was found considering the outcomes of fresh and hardened concrete characteristics. Moreover, the correlation between flexural strength, splitting tensile strength, and compressive strength was investigated. The mechanical characteristics of EOF steel slag aggregates are similar to those of natural coarse aggregates. Nevertheless, the greater water absorption and surface roughness of EOF slag affect the workability of concrete. The mechanical characteristics of concrete made using a full replacement of natural aggregate with EOF steel slag are quite similar to those of normal concrete. From this study, one learns that concrete made from 100% replacement of EOF Steel slag as coarse aggregate has better strength characteristics. By utilizing EOF steel slag as a substitute for natural coarse aggregate in concrete, the issue of unsafe, environment-degrading practice of dumping steel slag can be avoided. In addition, an industrial byproduct like steel slag is utilized in an eco-friendly way. Use of EOF steel slag in concrete is an eco-friendly, useful, and cost-saving step. Use of EOF steel slag in concrete is an eco-friendly, useful, and cost-saving step.

41. Glamour Industry and Global Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought difficult situations for citizens of nations across the world. While this pandemic affects different dimensions of life and society, this paper examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the entertainment industry of India. The entertainment industry was almost hit when the lockdown was imposed all over the country. Film and TV producers were under pressure to mitigate the impact of delayed release schedules, closure of theatres, and production stoppages. This industry is one of the famous industries of India, which has had to face many losses as well. Rapid changes in consumer behaviour and consumption, cancellation of events and sports, and cuts in advertisement expenditure have impacted a lot of companies. The result of the pandemic on these industries has ranged from lowered attendance at film festivals and music concerts, disruptions in film distribution, to delayed or cancelled movie releases and curtailed on-location film shoots. We could also see how different actors were coming up and helping the government with funds and posting leads on the internet to help the people in need. Also, there were many of them who were seen as breaking the pandemic laws implemented by the government. However, a lack of policies at the national level and fewer regulatory measures from the government have further complicated this issue.

The majority of methods used today to identify rogue websites focus on a specific attack. Online safety is frequently and seriously at risk from malicious URLs and websites. Naturally, search engines are the cornerstone of information management. However, our users are seriously at risk due to the rise of bogus websites on search engines. The majority of methods used today to identify rogue websites focus on a specific attack. However, a lot of websites remain unaffected by the widely accessible blacklist-based browser add-ons. Any data leaving the client side must be properly disguised, as the server cannot infer any meaningful information from the masked data. Here, the recommended initial Privacy-Preserving Safe Browsing (PPSB) service is given. Robust security assurances are given, which the existing SB services do not offer. The suggested method uses blacklist storage to identify malicious URL access. SVM classification was used to classify the user-provided input URL. SVM is a class of machine learning algorithms that reliably determines the safety or riskiness of a URL. Specifically, it retains the ability to identify malicious URLs while protecting the user's privacy, browsing history, and proprietary data of the blacklist provider (the list of dangerous URLs). This paper presented a technique that encrypts critical data to safeguard user privacy from outside analysts and service providers. Furthermore, completely supports the functions of chosen aggregates for analysing user behaviour online and guaranteeing differential privacy. The AES encryption method is used to protect user behaviour data online.

44. Corporate Security and Safety System

In today's commercial world, corporate security and safety are essential elements. Ensuring the safety of personnel, property, and infrastructure becomes critical as businesses expand and function in more complicated and frequently dangerous contexts. Conventional security solutions, such having employees on the scene and manually monitoring video systems, have limits in terms of their scope and efficacy, particularly when it comes to spotting dangers that change quickly, like fire or firearms. Intelligent surveillance systems that make use of cutting-edge technology like computer vision and machine learning are becoming more and more necessary to overcome these constraints. Significant gains in object detection and real-time monitoring capabilities have been made possible by the latest developments in deep learning. One such innovation is the YOLO (You Only Look Once) algorithm, which is renowned for its high-accuracy real-time object detection capabilities. Because of its single-shot detection technique, YOLO can quickly and effectively identify objects in photos or video streams, which makes it a great option for applications that demand quick decision-making and high processing efficiency. The creation of an automated corporate safety system that uses the YOLO algorithm to detect fire and weapons is the idea put forth in this paper. Organizations can enhance security and fire safety measures by automating the identification of weapons, knives, and fire-related threats in corporate environments by incorporating YOLO.

47. Indian Daily Diet: Authenticity and Local Diversity

This literature review evaluates the authenticity and local authenticity of the Indian daily diet as it assesses the nature of Indian cuisine based on regional variations, culture, and cooking techniques. Defined as one of the most extensive and diverse cuisines in the world, India's food culture has been connected to geography, politics, history, religion, and socioeconomic conditions. This literature review brings together recent research on regional cuisine changes across India, comparisons and distinctions to cuisine around the world, and traditional cuisine retention to a conclusion that India's food culture is a reflection of life within the nation of India, where unity exists in diversity, but local variations reign true since people can embrace their regional identities while simultaneously sheltered under the Indian identity. Recent studies conclude that Indian food is more than food to eat since it serves a purpose for sociocultural identity, community integration, and traditional storage of information passed down from generation to generation.

48. The Evolution of Feminism in Art

This paper focuses on the evolution of feminism in art, from the exaggeration of female features and the objectification and sexualization of women, to the recognition of female artists and an increase in the representation of holistic female figures. The role and portrayal of women in art are ever-evolving. Initially, women were depicted as hypersexualized versions of themselves; objects of desire, particularly for the male gaze. Despite this being the norm in the art industry at the time, some female artists like Artemisia Gentileschi, Mary Cassatt, and Berthe Morisot were key figures in portraying women as human beings with ambitions, beyond merely being objects of desire. This paper discusses the importance of the emergence of female artists like Georgia O’Keeffe, Lavinia Fontana, and the Guerrilla Girls in changing the depiction of women in art. It also explores intersectionality within the artistic landscape and how art has been used as a medium of activism to overcome these inequalities. Finally, the paper highlights the evolving portrayal of the male gaze and female rage in art over the years–by both male and female artists.

50. Optimization of Battery Thermal Management System using Fin Spacing and Fin Count Parameters in Electric Vehicles

Efficient battery thermal management is pivotal for ensuring the safety, performance, and extended lifespan of electric vehicle (EV) batteries. This study presents a comprehensive Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)-based analysis on the influence of fin geometry, spacing, and quantity on heat dissipation efficiency. Thermal simulations were conducted using ANSYS Fluent, allowing evaluation of radiator models under varied fin geometries and boundary conditions to observe temperature uniformity and heat removal performance. Emphasis was placed on comparing different fin shapes (square, circular, curved), spacings (5 mm to 12.5 mm), and fin counts. Results indicate that 7.5 mm spacing provides optimal thermal efficiency regardless of geometry, and increasing fin number beyond a threshold yields diminishing returns. Copper showed superior thermal performance over aluminum, though cost and weight favoured aluminum. The findings provide practical insights into radiator fin optimization for advanced BTMS design.

53. Impacts Economiques D’Exploitations Non-Certifiees D’Ail/Oignon Sur Des Agriculteurs De La Region Sofia

For several decades, farmers in the Sofia region of Madagascar have cultivated garlic (Allium sativum) and onion (Allium cepa) using traditional, uncertified organic methods. This study investigates the economic impact of such non-certified agricultural practices on rural household livelihoods. The research was conducted in four communes: Ambatosia and Ambodiampana (Bealanana District), as well as Bekoratsaka and Mampikony II (Mampikony District), all known for their high concentration of non-certified organic farmers. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with 100 producers and analyzed using correlation and linear regression methods. Findings reveal a positive relationship between the cultivation of uncertified organic garlic/onion and increases in annual household agricultural income. Thanks to low input costs, ancestral techniques, and stable local demand, these farmers often exceed the national poverty line. Approximately 42 to 44% of the surveyed households live above this threshold, despite lacking official organic certification. However, disparities remain based on market access, technical skills, and yield consistency. While uncertified organic farming offers a promising path for rural income improvement and poverty alleviation, it remains fragile in the absence of structured value chains, supportive public policies, and stable market integration. This research highlights the socio-economic viability of alternative agricultural systems, while underlining their limits in terms of long-term resilience and financial security.

55. La Corruption Et La Mediocrite Dans L’Administration : Deux Facteurs Cles De La Decadence Socio-Economique D’Un éTat

La présente étude scientifique s'intéresse à l’impact conjugué de deux fléaux structurels au sein de l’administration publique : la corruption et la médiocrité. Ces phénomènes, souvent analysés séparément, forment en réalité un système de réciprocité qui nourrit la déchéance progressive de l’État. À travers une approche pluridisciplinaire intégrant les sciences politiques, la sociologie et l’économie du développement, cet article met en lumière les mécanismes par lesquels ces deux facteurs se renforcent mutuellement, engendrant une gouvernance inefficace, un affaiblissement des institutions et un ralentissement notable de la croissance socio-économique. Le cas de Madagascar constitue le centre d’attention de cette étude, illustrant comment une culture administrative tolérant l’incompétence et la corruption a conduit à une perte de confiance généralisée envers les structures étatiques. En recourant à une méthodologie combinant revue documentaire, analyse statistique des données disponibles (indices de gouvernance, classements internationaux, etc.) et entretiens semi-directifs avec des experts locaux, l’étude met en exergue l’urgence d’une réforme structurelle. Les résultats révèlent que la mauvaise qualité du capital humain dans l’administration malgache découle souvent de pratiques de nomination non méritocratiques, alimentées par le clientélisme politique. L’article plaide pour une refondation de la gouvernance basée sur l’éthique, la compétence et la transparence. Il met également en évidence des comparaisons utiles avec d’autres pays africains ayant entrepris des réformes réussies en matière de gouvernance publique.

56. Autonomous Threat Detection and Response in Cloud Environments Using AI and Machine Learning: Focus on Real-Time AI-Driven Anomaly Detection and Self-Healing Cloud Security Architectures

Cloud threat detection and response technologies are at the forefront of maintaining cybersecurity amid increasingly dynamic and complex infrastructures. The technologies are programmed to identify, assess, and respond to likely threats in real time to provide cloud service integrity and availability. Static rule-based mechanisms and manual control mechanisms find it challenging to keep pace with evolving attack patterns, and this has necessitated the use of automated, intelligent solutions. This paper explores the employment of autonomous threat detection and response systems using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). The binary classification model was used to identify harmless and threat-related network traffic from a Kaggle-based DDoS dataset. The data underwent rigorous preprocessing, exploratory data analysis, and feature engineering. Five machine learning (ML) models were trained and evaluated against performance measures like accuracy, precision, F1-score, and detection time. The Decision Tree model gave better performance, with a high accuracy of 98.0% and real-time capability. Its integration into cloud infrastructures allows for self-healing, adaptive cybersecurity defenses.

57. A Comparative Review of Nanomaterials for Neuroprotection in Neurodegenerative Diseases

Neurodegenerative illnesses like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and ALS cause progressive injury to the brain, causing loss of memory, movement, and cognitive functions over time. The problem with these diseases is that most drugs cannot pass through the brain's protective barrier—the blood-brain barrier (BBB). In this review, the new use of nanomaterials—extremely tiny particles measured in nanometers—is described to transport drugs across the BBB without harming brain cells. We analyzed eight of the most well-researched types of nanomaterials: fat-based, plastic-like, dendrimers, carbon-based, gold, cerium oxide, iron oxide nanoparticles, and quantum dots. Each was assessed on its ability to deliver drugs to the brain, safety, stability, and performance in laboratory tests. Fat-based and plastic-like nanoparticles outperformed all others based on biocompatibility and drug delivery ability. Gold nanoparticles were highly multifunctional and versatile for therapy and imaging. Cerium oxide proved to be a great antioxidant and could protect neurons from injury. However, some nanomaterials, like carbon nanotubes and quantum dots, were of concern due to toxicity. The review concludes that just as there is no single nanomaterial that is perfect, their benefits can be leveraged in hybrid systems to enable more powerful, targeted, and safer treatment. Nanotechnology has tremendous potential for future advances in the fight against brain disease by enabling precise and protective drug delivery to the brain.

58. Design of Peptide Inhibitors Targeting MYC Oncogenic Protein Complexes

Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, with the MYC oncogene being a key driver of tumor progression through its role in promoting uncontrolled cell growth. This study aims to design and evaluate peptide inhibitors targeting the interaction between MYC and DNA, which is essential for MYC’s oncogenic function. Utilizing advanced computational methods, including RF diffusion, AlphaFold, and PyMOL, 30 potential peptide candidates were identified. These peptides were assessed based on their IPAE values, which ranged from 6.151 to 9.981, reflecting their effectiveness in disrupting MYC-DNA interactions. The use of AlphaFold enabled accurate prediction of the 3D structures of the MYC-MAX-DNA complex, while PyMOL provided visualization and structural analysis to confirm binding sites and key hotspots where the peptides interact. This detailed analysis confirmed that the peptides effectively target critical regions within the complex. Our findings underscore the potential of these peptides as novel inhibitors of MYC-driven cancer progression. The promising results suggest that these peptides could serve as the basis for new targeted cancer therapies. Moving forward, experimental validation of the peptide candidates will be conducted to confirm their binding affinity and biological activity. Additionally, structural refinement and optimization of the peptide designs will be pursued to enhance their therapeutic potential. Preclinical studies will be essential to evaluate the efficacy and safety of these peptide inhibitors in vivo. This research provides a foundation for developing innovative treatments aimed at targeting MYC-driven cancers.

60. Time Series Forecasting through Hybrid ARIMA-ANN Modelling for Rice in Odisha

Rice, being the staple food grain of Odisha, holds a crucial place in the state’s economy and food security. Rice holds around 69% of the total cultivable area in Odisha, making it crucial to have an accurate forecast of its status for stakeholders in agriculture. Modelling and forecasting of time series dataset of yield and production of rice from 1970-71 to 2019-20 is carried out in this study, using Auto Regressive integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Hybrid ARIMA-ANN methodologies. ARIMA is a linear modelling approach where whereas ANN is more of a non-linear modelling technique. The hybrid ARIMA-ANN methodology integrates the strengths of both models to effectively capture both linear and non-linear patterns within the dataset under study. It was found that ARIMA(1,1,1) with constant and under the developed ANN models, the Neural Network Autoregression(NNAR) of order NNAR(3,2) came out to be the best fitted model for both of the variables under study. ARIMA(1,1,1)-NNAR(1,1) is found to be suitable for both yield and production of rice in Odisha. All three models are compared using accuracy measures like RMSE and MAPE, and the hybrid methodology is found to be superior to others.

62. Why Conservation is Necessary and Why it is not as Effective as it Should Be

The study outlines the basic justifications for the necessity of conservation and the reasons it frequently falls short of its objectives. It highlights how a person's social background and upbringing significantly impact their feelings toward animals. For example, although people in the fashion or entertainment sectors may perceive animals as resources or props, hunters may see them as prey. These divergent viewpoints weaken the urgency of preserving animal life and obstruct coordinated conservation efforts. The suffering of animals kept in captivity, whether in zoos, laboratories, circuses, or on movie sets, is a significant issue that has been raised. It was said that being in captivity reduced innate instincts, increased physical and mental abnormalities, and created moral dilemmas. The fashion industry continues to use fur, leather, and exotic animal skins, despite the availability of contemporary substitutes such as synthetic materials. According to the publication, this is now a luxury decision that leads to needless cruelty rather than a necessity. The abstract discusses the widespread use of animal experimentation and dissection in research and education, highlighting the associated ethical concerns and the availability of alternatives. It also highlights the mistreatment of animals in the entertainment industry, particularly on film shoots and in theme parks, where animals are often treated as disposable.

64. Electronic Sensory Glove

The human hand is vital for daily and social functions, and its loss can significantly impact quality of life, often necessitating psychological intervention due to isolation, anxiety, or depression. While prosthetic hands restore essential mobility, challenges remain in achieving natural appearance and sensory feedback. This study presents the development of an electronic sensory glove (e-glove) system that seamlessly integrates multimodal sensors—capable of detecting pressure, temperature, and moisture—into a commercial stretchable nitrile glove. Leveraging a hybrid screen- and transfer-printing fabrication method, the e-glove conforms to various prosthetic hand shapes and sizes, offering realistic tactile qualities and real-time data transmission via a wristwatch interface. Both experimental and computational analyses validate the glove’s mechanical and functional efficacy, demonstrating its potential to enhance prosthetic hand interactions in diverse daily and social contexts.
