 Abstract

Agriculture is the process of growing food to feed the masses. In modern day, agricultural practices have been trying to adopt technologies that can give a better yield, predict returns and also mitigate losses. Farmers are adopting trends and are trying to catch up with the growing market requirements. Supply chains have to improve the nutrient content. Data acquisition and processing form the important challenges to improve productivity, resource utilization. The lands are generally enormous and communication can get tricky since there are costs involved. However wireless technologies such as LoRa, Zigbee etc are showing promise. This paper tries to understand the advancements made in agriculture in the recent times and the best practices that are giving good results.

For small sigma asymptotic approach due to Kadane and Shukla studies he properties of two families of estimators considered by Srivastava and Chandra from the idea of concentration probabilities of estimators around the two unknown parameters stochastically restricted a linear regression model. To analyses the properties of more generalized classes of estimators by Sing et.al (1995) from concentration probabilities theme choice of an estimator.

 Abstract

This study examines the impact of karaoke singing, specifically retro melodies, as a form of music therapy on mental health, anxiety, cognitive function, and social well-being. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research evaluates how engaging in karaoke influences stress levels, mood, anxiety, and cognitive performance. The findings reveal that karaoke singing significantly alleviates symptoms of anxiety and depression while enhancing mood and cognitive function. The study also explores the role of karaoke as a therapeutic tool for individuals with dementia and Alzheimer's disease, showing its potential to stimulate memory recall and support emotional well-being. Furthermore, the social benefits of karaoke--through fostering social interaction and community building--are highlighted, demonstrating how it can reduce feelings of loneliness and promote a sense of belonging. By connecting music, nostalgia, and therapy, this paper emphasizes the potential of karaoke singing as an accessible and enjoyable intervention to enhance mental health and overall well-being.

 Abstract

This study assessed the knowledge of higher secondary students in Hajo Block, Kamrup, Assam, regarding the harmful effects of cigarette smoking. A descriptive research design and purposive sampling were used to include 60 students from two schools, with data collected using a structured questionnaire. Most participants (86.7%) were aged 16-18, 91.7% were male, and 60% were Muslim. The majority had average knowledge (85%) about the harmful effects of smoking, with no significant associations found between knowledge levels and demographic variables. The findings highlight the need for targeted awareness programs to improve understanding and reduce smoking-related risks among youth.

 Abstract

Contact lenses are thin, curved lenses placed directly on the surface of the eye to correct vision. They offer an alternative to eyeglasses, providing unobstructed peripheral vision and cosmetic appeal. Contact lenses can correct various refractive errors, including myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. A contract is a legally binding agreement between two or more parties that outlines the terms and conditions of a specific arrangement.

 Abstract

Weeds in rice fields are a major problem because they compete with rice plants for nutrients, light and space, resulting in reduced yields and economic losses. Physical detection of weeds is problematic when human labor is scarce. The proposed solution includes a deep learning approach that uses a specially pre-trained DenseNet-121 model to increase efficiency in solving the problem of the negative impact of weed growth on rice crop by distinguishing between visually similar weeds and crops. This model is refined with a dataset created from images of rice fields, and data augmentation techniques are used to improve the reliability of the model. This approach implements and evaluates various metrics and improves accuracy by displaying test results. This method helps in accurate weed control which ultimately improves yield and reduces economic losses.The system underwent evaluation using a dataset of images sourced from a paddy field, demonstrating its capability of identifying and eliminating weeds with a precision exceeding 99%. The suggested approach has the potential to greatly minimize labor and environmental impacts associated with weed management, while enhancing the efficiency and precision of weed detection and removal in crop production.. In future integrating this model with real-time observation systems and applied knowledge will further improve its practical applicability in agriculture.

 Abstract

Algorithmic Trading has modified and considerably increased international financial markets, allowing high-speed, high-frequency transactions through refined algorithms. It improves market strength and liquidity; but it collectively presents major moral and regulative challenges, especially regarding market fairness, transparency, and commercial protection. This paper examines these problems with selected stress on the Indian context, analyzing recent developments by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and diverse international regulative authorities aimed toward minimizing market manipulation and making certain fairness. The case studies highlight moral violations and regulatory reactions, as well as practices like spoofing and flash crashes. In response, recommended strategies are put forward for algorithmic design to guarantee ethical alignment, fairness evaluations, transparency via Explainable AI (XAI), and dedication to dependable regulative frameworks. The importance of progressive regulation and collaboration between stakeholders is emphasized to foster secure, equitable, and impartial trading surroundings, which is crucial for protective trust within the financial markets in the long term.

 Abstract

The concept of Anthropocene is product of a consciousness which is incidental to the vigorous array of data indicating a key transformation in the Earth, recorded as changes to strata, similar to signatures recorded in the geological past, refashioning the relation between 'human' and 'non-human' and in effect intertwining them so that one cannot change without affecting the other. The fact that human activity is emerging as a decisive force in dictating the climatic systems of the planet correlates with the wider implications of the diminishing boundaries between 'human' and 'non-human'. The victims of colonization themselves became colonizers of the 'non-human' under the drive of 'modernity' that radiated from the West. As a consequence, the 'non-human' agency seeks expression that makes the 'human' rethink and reevaluate the arrogation of conscience and will only to itself. The theoretical underpinnings of Anthropocene, in the current context of 'modernity', serve to diminish the boundaries between the 'human' and the 'non-human', transforming both how we perceive and acknowledge them

 Abstract

The solubility of drugs plays a pivotal role in their bioavailability, particularly for poorly water-soluble drugs. Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS) Class II drugs, characterized by high permeability but low solubility, pose significant challenges for effective drug formulation and therapeutic efficacy. This review delves into various solubility enhancement techniques employed for BCS Class II drugs, highlighting both conventional and advanced strategies. Techniques such as solid dispersions, complexation with cyclodextrins, nanosizing, lipid-based formulations, and the use of surfactants are discussed in detail, with a focus on their mechanisms, advantages, and limitations. Furthermore, emerging methods like amorphous drug formulations, nanocrystals, and supercritical fluid technology are explored, reflecting the ongoing innovation in pharmaceutical formulation.
