An IoT–AR Framework for Enhancing Interoperability for People with Disabilities

Advanced technologies continue to accelerate, particularly in the fields of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Augmented Reality (AR), which have demonstrated significant potential in assistive technologies. Globally, approximately 15% of the population lives with some form of disability, highlighting the urgent need for intelligent and accessible solutions. In Saudi Arabia, recent statistical reports indicate that 5.9% of Saudi citizens experience at least one mild physical difficulty, while 1.8% of the total population lives with at least one disability, with mobility and visual impairments among the most prevalent categories. To better understand real-world challenges, in 2024, an interview was conducted with a PhD holder with visual impairment, focusing on daily mobility challenges, current assistive technologies, and desired improvements. The findings revealed critical limitations in accuracy, response time, usability, and system integration. This paper analyzes existing AR–IoT assistive solutions and identifies key challenges, particularly latency, accuracy, and interoperability between heterogeneous devices and platforms. Current systems often require multiple software applications and hardware components, increasing complexity and cost. Therefore, this research proposes enhancing interoperability between AR and IoT technologies through a unified compatibility framework aimed at reducing system complexity, improving efficiency, and increasing accessibility for individuals with disabilities.

Udaan Path – Data visualization and Interest Prediction with AI integration

Traditional student evaluation systems primarily focus on academic performance and often overlook individual interests, co-curricular involvement, and overall development. This paper presents UdaanPath, a Django-based educational data-driven web platform that uses the academic and non-academic performance data of students to make predictive calculations and provide career guidance for them using AI. We aim to give teachers and parents a tool that helps them to determine the best possible insights for a child. We implement the built-in administration panel of Django, which gives a dynamic manager tool to the school admin for administrative processes. We develop features like a personalised student dashboard, an AI-generated study plan for each student, a parent portal and career path suggestions in the project presented in this paper.

CentralResume: A Unified Protocol for Structured Resume Management and Interoperable Job Profile Sharing

Creating and maintaining job profiles across multiple recruitment platforms is a redundant process. Users are often required to manually enter the same information repeatedly on those platforms, which makes it difficult to update the information later, increasing the risk of inconsistent data. Additionally, job seekers frequently maintain multiple versions of resumes tailored for different roles or industries, where only a subset of the information differs. Managing these variations manually reduces maintainability and scattered files and information. Moreover, parsing resume PDFs is inherently unreliable due to formatting variations and the lack of a standardized structure. This paper proposes a standardized protocol for maintaining a centralized repository of structured resumes that solves all the mentioned problems. The system allows users to store their professional information in a single authoritative location while enabling multiple variants of resumes tailored to specific roles or contexts using tags with minimal effort. To support interoperability across recruitment platforms and to minimize parsing issues, we introduce a standardized JSON-based schema for representing resume data, along with a sharing protocol powered by OAuth that allows recruiters and job portals to access resume information in a structured way. By eliminating the need for repeated manual data entry and unreliable document parsing, the proposed approach improves data consistency, simplifies resume management, and enables seamless integration between job seekers and recruitment platforms. It saves time by making resume sharing as easy as logging in with Google.

Social Protection and Economic Marginality: A Study of Domestic Workers in Tamil Nadu

Domestic work represents a significant segment of the informal economy in India, particularly in Tamil Nadu, where women dominate this occupation. Despite their crucial role in sustaining households and supporting the urban and rural economy, domestic workers remain economically marginalized and socially excluded. This study examines the socio-economic conditions, income patterns, and access to social protection among domestic workers in Tamil Nadu, with specific reference to Namakkal District. Using a descriptive research design, primary data were collected from 120 respondents through structured questionnaires and interviews. Secondary data from government reports and scholarly studies were also used. The findings reveal that domestic workers face low wages, irregular employment, lack of legal protection, and limited access to welfare schemes. The study concludes that effective policy intervention, awareness, and inclusion in formal labour frameworks are essential to ensure economic security and social justice.

Perceived Parenting Skills Among Parents of Children Undergoing Surgery: A Descriptive Analysis

Abstract: Surgery can be difficult for children and their parents. Effective parenting skills help to reduce the surgery-related discomfort and promote wellness and, consequently, favorable psychosocial surgical experiences for children. Most parents have anxiety before a pediatric surgical procedure. Parental anxiety may impair the parents' ability to cope with new or stressful situations while their children are undergoing surgery. Hence, in this study, the investigator has tried to assess the perceived parenting skills among parents of children undergoing surgery. Methods: This study was conducted using a descriptive correlational design among 100 parents of children undergoing surgery who met the inclusion criteria and were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Tools such as the demographic variable proforma of parents and children, and a rating scale to assess the perceived parenting skills were used. Results: The findings of the study revealed that the mean and standard deviation of the perceived parenting skills (M =32.93 & SD =3.30), indicating that most parents had consistently high levels of parenting skills with minimal variation among them. The association analysis reveals that among all selected background variables, mother’s occupation showed a statistically significant association with perceived parenting skills (χ² = 6.921, p = 0.008). Overall, the study highlights the need for continued support and targeted interventions to further strengthen parenting skills and enhance child outcomes during surgery.
