 Abstract

Globally, cervical cancer ranks as the fourth most common kind of cancer. It is mostly caused by HPV strains. With a healthy immune system, it might take 15 to 20 years for HPV infection to proceed to cervical cancer. Early detection and treatment depend on this time frame. Medical practitioners employ screening methods such as Pap smears, HPV testing, and Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) to identify precancerous lesions and lower the risk of morbidity and mortality from cervical cancer. The effectiveness of VIA is still up for discussion, despite the fact that it is thought to be a more affordable and economical form of therapy. The first line of prevention should be HPV immunization. Certain vaccines, such Cervarix, Gardasil, and Gardasil 9, are essential for protecting against oncogenic HPV strains and significantly reducing the risk of cervical cancer. Radiation therapy or chemotherapy are two possible treatments for patients with cervical cancer. In more extreme cases, laser therapy or therapeutic hysterectomy are used. A healthier diet can also help meet immune function demands, although supportive treatment is still necessary to maximize patient results. Dietary control and nursing are also crucial. Although cervical cancer can be treated in a variety of ways, the main causes of treatment success variations include wide variations in healthcare systems, as well as the accessibility of cervical cancer screening and vaccinations

 Abstract

Barrett's esophagus is a condition in which there is an abnormal metaplastic change in the mucosal cells lining the lower portion of the esophagus. This change is considered to be a premalignant condition because of its potential to further transition to esophageal adenocarcinoma, an often-deadly cancer1. The majority of BE cases are acquired, with the precipitant being long-standing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Rare families have an increased incidence of developing BE through autosomal dominant inheritance of certain susceptibility alleles, known as the familial Barrett esophagus phenotype. BE predisposes patients to the development of dysplasia and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), a cancer with high morbidity and mortality2. Approximately 3% to 5% of patients with Barrett esophagus will be diagnosed with esophageal adenocarcinoma in their lifetime3 . Screening for Barrett's esophagus remains selective based on risk factors, a screening program in the general population is not routinely recommended. Diagnosis of BE is established with a combination of endoscopic recognition, targeted biopsies, and histologic confirmation of columnar metaplasia4. Several treatment modalities for advanced disease and cancer have been developed and studied to effectively treat disease, from endoscopic resection and ablation to more aggressive surgical options4.

 Abstract

Some of the food production are seasonal. The market demand is also variable. So, there is an issue for production and market demand faced by the FPOs (Farmers Producer Organizations). Some of the works started by the FPOs can not fulfill the demand in the market because of many issues like Climatic conditions, weather/rainfall instability and local issues like labour and migration etc. . It is a challenging part for the FPOs to match the supply and demand of the market at certain point. This paper has been made to combat some issues on the production and marketing shortages, surplus and balancing the situation in these two parameters.

 Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are comprised of resource-constrained nodes with limited battery power. Energy efficiency is paramount for extending network lifetime while maintaining reliable communication. This paper explores various optimization techniques for minimizing energy consumption in WSNs, focusing on routing protocols, data aggregation, duty cycling, and energy harvesting. We analyze the trade-offs between energy efficiency and communication reliability, highlighting the challenges and future directions in this critical area of research. This paper proposes a Source-Intimated and Energy-Efficient Protocol (SIEEP) to address energy in efficiency in wireless sensor networks. The protocol integrates source-node awareness and adaptive energy management to optimize routing paths and reduce energy consumption. Simulations demonstrate significant improvements in network lifetime and reliability compared to existing protocols.

 Abstract

Local government agencies implementing automation systems create new possibilities to enhance transparency and accountability and boost operational efficiency when delivering public services. The analysis examines how automation accomplishes administrative process optimization and manual reduction while enabling real-time data availability. In combination with Ansible, Jenkins allows local agencies to standardize repetitive workflows, reducing human mistakes while streamlining their focus on key decision processes. The accessibility of budgets and project information alongside audit trails in real-time surpasses traditional levels of transparency through automation technology. The openness that emerges from automation builds accountable systems through verifiable records while reducing the chance of corruption or mismanagement. Through data-driven governance systems, automation provides the fundamental capability to evaluate metrics necessary for efficient process operations, resource usage, and community outreach strategies. These data insights facilitate better decisions and customized service adjustments that serve changing public demands. The study combines qualitative interviews with agency officials and IT specialists alongside quantitative employee and citizen surveys to achieve its research goals. New research shows that automation drives better operational performance, builds trust through improved workflow transparency, and optimizes resource allocation. For successful automation implementation, agencies must overcome three major barriers: staff resistance to the new system, technical issues, and inadequate funding. This research demonstrates that automation functions beyond its functional benefits to catalyze government institution reforms. For successful automation adoption within local agencies, a combination of well-planned strategies adapted for employee training and necessary policy frameworks are essential. Government acceptance of automation will create higher service quality and enhanced institutional trust, leading to superior governance systems serving citizens more effectively.

Blockchain technology is an emerging field, encompassing distributed systems, cryptography, and supply chain management. Solutions built on blockchain technology ensure that all issues in the traditional supply chain are resolved in secure, transparent, and decentralized frameworks. The milk supply chain is an important domain that requires traceability, quality assurance, and real-time monitoring for consumer safety and trust. Using blockchain technology, the milk supply chain can be optimized and reliability can be built in by eliminating fraud, cutting wastage, and providing end-to- end visibility. This paper proposes the application of blockchain on the milk supply chain, which helps effectively solve complex problems and is a catalyst for increasing organizational efficiency. The review encompasses a detailed study of existing research, in terms of their methodologies, presented architectures, experimental evaluations, and benefits obtained.

 Abstract

Today's construction industry views Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) as a novel and significant material. Because of their exceptional mechanical qualities (compressive strength between 35 and 100 MPa and typical tensile strength between 2 and 7 MPa), ECC materials are employed in structural design, repairs, and retrofitting. The current work examines the impact strength, direct tensile testing, and compressive strength of engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) that contain fibers. To this end, three more schemes the 2%, 2.5%, and 3% Polypropylene fiber, the 5%, 6.5%, 8%, and 10% Metakaolin, and the 12% Silica grid are employed in this ECC study. Cube and cylindrical specimen testing The test subjects, who are 14 and 28 days old, are evaluated for their respective split tensile strength and compressive strength. To assess the ultimate tension test, a dog-bone-shaped specimen is also put through 28 days of testing. The impact resistance of the first fracture is further increased by the presence of silica grid, metakaolin, and polypropylene fiber. In addition, the failure strength of mixtures containing fiber is improved by 35 to 90% when compared to mixtures without fiber.

This study aimed to examine the This study aims to improve the effect of soccer specific training With and without of interval training on an aerobic power and VO2 max woman soccer players. Total 45 female soccer players from Annamalai University in Chidambaram, Cuddalore District, Tamilnadu, who were between the ages of 18 and 23, participated in the study for this reason. Anaerobic power and VO2max, the chosen dependent variable, was evaluated before and after the training program using a running-based anaerobic power test and cooper test. Randomly chosen subjects were divided into 3 groups: two experimental groups and a control group. Group one underwent soccer-specific training and two underwent soccer- specific training with interval training, three served as the control group. The soccer-specific training comprised skills-based activities and specific movements like short sprints, jumps, agility drills etc. The interval training comprised 30,50,100,150,300,500 meters run with different intensities. The initial intensity was set at 75% before being raised by 5% every two weeks. The subjects ran these distances at their most relaxed speed and with the designated intensity. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was employed as a statistical approach to ascertain whether there was, in fact, a significant difference between the data from the chosen dependent variable's pretest and post-test. The paired mean differences were determined using Scheffe's post hoc test whenever the adjusted post-test 'F' ratio value was found to be significant. The accepted level of significance was P>= 0.05. The results revealed significant improvements happened because of both training. SSTG group had 1.44 & 2.31 and CTG showed 2.31 &3.54 percentage improvement happened on anaerobic power and vo2max respectively. The obtained f ratio was 7.91 and 28.38 of anaerobic power and vo2max respectively.

 Abstract

Parents play a fundamental role in both the schooling and raising of their children. They serve as advocates, ensuring their children receive appropriate education and support (Hou et al. 2022). Parents play a crucial role in their children's lives by providing daily care, emotional support, and fostering their education and social development, essential for their overall growth and success. If parental engagement is crucial for typically developing children, its importance is even greater in the schooling and raising of children with disabilities. According to Duhaney and Salend (2000), active parental engagement in the schooling and upbringing of their disabled children is indispensable. Thus, the present study aims to study the engagement of parents in educating their children with disabilities in Mizoram with reference to occupation.

 Abstract

This project focuses on creating a system that allows people to control a mouse on a computer screen using both their eye and hand movements. The idea is to make it easier for people who have difficulty using regular input devices like a mouse and keyboard, or who need a handsfree way to interact with their computers. By combining eye-tracking technology with hand movements, users will be able to move the mouse cursor just by looking at different areas of the screen, and they can use hand gestures to perform clicks or other actions. The system is designed to improve accessibility for individuals with mobility impairments, offering an alternative way to control computers. In this report, we go through all the steps involved in making this system, starting with understanding the problems users face and analysing their needs. We then describe the methods and technology used to track eye and hand movements. The design phase explains how the system processes these movements and turns them into mouse actions on the screen. The project also looks at ways to test and improve the system, ensuring it is accurate and easy to use. Lastly, we discuss how the system could be enhanced in the future, for example, by adding more advanced gesture controls or expanding its use to other devices, making it useful for a wider range of users. This combination of eye and hand movement tracking offers a more flexible and accessible computing experience.
