 Abstract

Cardiac arrest remains a critical medical emergency with high mortality rates, often occurring without warning and outside clinical settings. Traditional healthcare lacks continuous, real-time monitoring and primarily focuses on post-event treatment. So we integrated sensors like ECG, PULSE RATE, TEMPERATURE sensors to a microcontroller esp32 to get real-time cardiac arrest prediction using machine learning algorithms like Random Forest, K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), Weighted KNN.

 Abstract

Katherine Mansfield's "The Fly" (1922) remains one of the most psychologically nuanced explorations of grief and mortality in modernist fiction. Beneath its seemingly trivial narrative--a businessman torturing a fly caught in ink--lies a complex allegory of human suffering, repression, and the inevitability of death. This paper interprets the fly as a central symbol through which Mansfield articulates the fragility of life and the persistence of psychological trauma. The boss's manipulation of the fly mirrors his unconscious struggle to confront the loss of his son in World War I, transforming an act of cruelty into an externalization of internal conflict.Drawing on psychoanalytic, existential, and modernist approaches, the study demonstrates how Mansfield translates private grief into universal symbolism. The fly's futile attempts to survive, the boss's mechanical gestures, and the sterile office setting together reveal the desensitization of a post-war generation and the moral void left by modern industrial civilization. Mansfield's minimalist technique--her controlled diction, silences, and irony--renders the story both emotionally restrained and symbolically profound.By situating "The Fly" within the psychological and historical contexts of early twentieth-century trauma, this paper argues that the story's true power lies in its transformation of everyday detail into a meditation on mortality and existential despair. The fly emerges not merely as a victim but as a mirror of human endurance and futility--an image of man's perpetual struggle against decay, time, and the emptiness of remembrance.

 Abstract

Imagine a system where bank transfers between countries happen in seconds, not days, where contracts execute themselves, and every transaction is locked in a permanent, unchangeable record. This isn't science fiction--it's the promise of blockchain technology for banking. But this powerful new tool is crashing headfirst into our old-world legal systems, creating a messy but fascinating puzzle. On one hand, blockchain could be a game-changer. It cuts out expensive middlemen, makes fraud incredibly difficult, and allows for "smart contracts" that automate deals without lawyers or delays. For banks, this means massive savings, faster services, and stronger security .On the other hand, it raises huge legal questions. How do you apply old rules about customer privacy to a system where data, once written, can never be erased? Who's responsible when a self-executing smart contract has a bug and sends money to the wrong place? Regulators are scrambling to catch up, trying to figure out if digital tokens are property, currency, or something entirely new, as seen in big court cases like the SEC's battle with Ripple .This paper digs into that clash. We look at how banks are starting to use blockchain, the legal headaches it creates--especially around privacy laws like GDPR--and the slow, uncertain journey governments are on to build new rules. The bottom line? The technology is sprinting ahead, but our laws are still learning to walk. Finding the right balance between innovation and protection is the biggest challenge of all.

 Abstract

The worldwide expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) has been characterized by significant growth, as seen by the widespread use of diverse devices in domains such as housing environments, transportation systems, healthcare facilities and industrial sectors. The introduction and integration of the IoT concept in industrial environments has resulted in significant modifications to the architecture of Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS), as well as the widespread interconnectivity of various industrial systems. The outcome of this development is often known as the Industrial IoT(IIoT), which eliminates the obstacle of linking IACS with separate traditional Information and Communication Technology (ICT) platforms. In contemporary times, the IoT has begun to affect upon our individual lives and extend its influence beyond our immediate surroundings, therefore establishing a foundation for imminent cyber-attacks targeting the IoT. The extensive utilization of the IoT has produced a productive ground for potential assaults against IoT systems. Machine learning (ML) algorithms have been used as effective tools for enhancing the security of wireless communication in IIoT-based systems, as well as addressing a range of cyber security issues. Hence, this study presents an improved ensemble model for intrusion detection that utilizes Firefly Algorithm (FA) to classify hostile behaviors in network data within the context of IIoT. The performance of the proposed model was evaluated usingprecision, recall, F1 score,accuracy, F2 score and ROC-AUC metrics on the X-IIoTIDDataset, which is an IIoT-based cyber security dataset. The obtained findings were compared to those of other recent state-of-the-art ML models, and it was observed that our model exhibited superior performance.

 Abstract

Background : A significant problem is medication non-compliance, particularly among chronically ill and elderly patients. According to studies, almost half of patients do not take their medications as directed, which results in bad therapeutic results and higher medical expenses . One promising remedy for this problem is the use of technology in medication reminder systems . However, older adults' ability to use current systems is limited by their frequent lack of features like voice reminders, multilingual support, and direct connectivity to smartphones or healthcare providers . Objective : Through voice alerts, multilingual support, and Bluetooth connectivity with smartphones for improved monitoring and user-friendliness, this study aims to create and assess a smart medication reminder device that improves patient compliance. Method : In order to provide reminders for medication time, dosage, and schedule, the device combines hardware and software technology. It gathers reminder data and syncs it with a smartphone application that is connected. To help older users and those with low literacy, the system also enables language and tone customization. Result : In comparison to more conventional reminder techniques like SMS alerts, the suggested reminder system increased adherence by guaranteeing timely medication intake, decreasing missed doses, and raising user satisfaction, according to preliminary evaluation and user feedback . Conclusion - Medication reminders with a technological component are essential for lowering therapeutic failures brought on by non-compliance. The created tool provides a practical, easy-to-use, and efficient way to help older patients and those with long-term illnesses take their medications as prescribed.

 Abstract

Prosthetic devices have been developed to restore function and mobility to individuals with amputations. However, available prosthetic wrist units often lack the range of motion and dexterity of the natural wrist, limiting the user's ability to perform tasks that require precise wrist movement. Therefore, the development of a body powered prosthetic wrist unit can provide the same dexterity of the anatomical wrist joint and locking mechanism in various ranges for performing various activities of daily living.

 Abstract

This study explores the challenges faced by high school students in selecting and applying correct formulas while solving numerical problems in physics. Many students struggle to connect theoretical concepts with mathematical expressions, resulting in frequent errors, low confidence, and poor academic performance. The research adopted a quantitative experimental design using a one-group pre-test and post-test method with seven students from Kamadhenu Convent, Mysore, who showed difficulty in solving physics numerical problems. Four activity-based strategies- Chart-based learning, Problem Identification Games, Flashcards, and Match-the-following exercises were implemented to improve conceptual understanding and formula application skills. The pre-test average score of 11.14 increased to 18.14 in the post-test, indicating a 35-50% improvement. The results confirmed that interactive and visual learning approaches significantly enhanced students' understanding, recall, and confidence in problem-solving. Major causes identified included lack of mathematical skills, insufficient practice, and ineffective teaching methods. The study recommends using activity-based, student-centered approaches to strengthen conceptual clarity and promote analytical thinking. Overall, the intervention demonstrated that engaging and well-structured activities can effectively improve students' problem-solving performance in physics and foster a positive attitude toward the subject.
