 Abstract

"Fishes are aquatic, cold-blooded creatures that have evolved well to live in water. A diverse range of fish inhabits freshwater bodies. A valuable resource for inland fisheries in India, irrigation tanks supply water for agriculture. Inland water bodies, such as lakes, reservoirs, rivers and canals are abundant throughout India. These bodies of water can be found around the nation, particularly in rural areas. It is mostly utilized for irrigation, fish farming and drinking water. Fish alone make up roughly 2546 species, and since the beginning of the century, researchers have focused on the fish of the Indian subcontinents inland water bodies (Kalbande, SG, Telkhade, PM, Zade, SB. 2007)".

 Abstract

Freshwater ecosystems serve as critical habitats supporting diverse aquatic life and complex trophic interactions. This research examines the food web structure and dynamics of two important freshwater systems in Dindori district, Madhya Pradesh--the Gorakhpur Dam and Silgi River. Understanding food web complexity is essential for assessing ecosystem health, identifying keystone species, and developing effective conservation strategies. The study employed systematic sampling across different seasons (monsoon, winter, and summer) during 2023-2024, collecting data on phytoplankton, zooplankton, benthic macroinvertebrates, fish species, and aquatic vegetation. A total of 48 phytoplankton species, 32 zooplankton species, 27 macroinvertebrate taxa, and 23 fish species were identified across both systems. Food web analysis revealed four distinct trophic levels with primary producers dominated by diatoms and green algae, primary consumers including rotifers and cladocerans, secondary consumers comprising insect larvae and small fish, and tertiary consumers represented by predatory fish species. The Gorakhpur Dam exhibited higher species diversity (Shannon index H'=3.24) compared to Silgi River (H'=2.87), though the river showed greater seasonal variation. Connectivity analysis indicated 156 trophic links in the dam versus 134 in the river, suggesting more complex food web structure in lentic systems. Anthropogenic impacts including agricultural runoff, fishing pressure, and habitat modification were identified as major threats to food web stability. The study provides baseline ecological data crucial for sustainable management of these freshwater resources and highlights the need for integrated watershed management approaches to preserve aquatic biodiversity.

 Abstract

Background: Ayurveda upholds the principle of "Swasthasya Swasthya Rakshanam"--the preservation of health in healthy individuals. As part of this, classical texts recommend Dinacharya (daily regimen), which begins with awakening during Brahma Muhurtha, the pre-dawn period considered ideal for overall well-being. Objective: To review the Ayurvedic significance of Brahma Muhurtha and correlate it with modern physiological and chronobiological evidence. Method: A narrative review of classical Ayurvedic literature and contemporary scientific studies related to early morning wakefulness, circadian rhythms, and their effects on human health was undertaken. Results: Awakening during Brahma Muhurtha is associated with enhanced cognitive function, improved hormonal regulation, better immune response, cardiovascular stability, and emotional balance. These effects are supported by modern insights into circadian biology, which highlight the benefits of synchronizing daily activities with natural biological rhythms. Conclusion: The practice of waking during Brahma Muhurtha represents a holistic and evidence-aligned approach to health promotion. Integrating this principle into daily life may contribute to improved health, longevity, and overall well-being.

 Abstract

Traditional methods of wildlife monitoring in India encounter difficulties due to manual footprint analysis, which has trouble identifying incomplete or blurred tracks in different field conditions such as rain and uneven terrain. Current systems do not have strong deep learning capabilities suitable for edge deployment or provide clear, interpretable results for conservationists. FootPrintAI-India presents a streamlined MobileNetV2 architecture integrated with Squeeze-and-Excitation attention, reaching 85.8% validation accuracy on 2,528 images of five major Indian species: deer, elephant, leopard, tiger, and wolf. The system utilizes Test-Time Augmentation (TTA), temperature-scaled confidence calibration, GradCAM explainability, and geo-aware filtering to ensure real-world robustness, even with imperfect footprints. Built using a React frontend, FastAPI backend, and hosted on Render cloud, it provides JWT-secured batch processing, interactive maps, AI chat, and human-in-the-loop refinementfeatures specifically tailored for Indian wildlife scenarios that previous global AI footprint studies have not covered. This portable platform minimizes reliance on specialists and allows for scalable, transparent monitoring of poaching and habitat loss.

 Abstract

This research investigates how two important psychological concepts--mindfulness and locus of control--interact to shape college students' resilience. Based on the positive psychology model, the study looks at how a student's beliefs in personal control (locus of control) and present-moment awareness (mindfulness) help them to bounce back from setbacks (resilience) and fit to stress. Data were gathered from a total of 104 undergraduate students aged 18 to 25 using standardized instruments: the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), and a modified Locus of Control Scale. Statistical analysis, including Pearson's correlation and multiple regression, revealed that locus of control significantly predicts resilience, while mindfulness did not show a statistically significant effect. 10.6% of the variation in resilience was explained by the combined model. These results imply that rather than mindfulness, internal control beliefs are more important in fostering resilience among students. The study emphasizes the need of interventions aimed at boosting psychological resilience in academic contexts by means of personal agency and perceived control

 Abstract

The growing use of digital healthcare systems has sparked major worries about the security, privacy, and availability of Electronic Health Records (EHRs). Traditional centralized systems are prone to data breaches, lack transparency, and offer patients limited control. Moreover, they are susceptible to side-channel attacks that take advantage of indirect information leaks during cryptographic processes. This paper introduces CryptoCare, a healthcare management system built on blockchain technology and combined with cryptographic blinding methods to guarantee secure and privacy-focused data handling. The system implements a patient-focused approach that allows individuals to dynamically choose or switch hospitals, with automatic removal of access to prior hospitals to safeguard data privacy. Smart contracts implement role-based access control, enabling doctors to view records only when patients give their permission. A special emergency access system allows doctors to access patient records when the patient is not available, provided it is approved by a super administrator, and includes complete audit logs and notification to the patient. Medical records are kept secure through off-chain storage (IPFS), whereas the blockchain is used to keep unchangeable access logs and metadata. The suggested system improves data confidentiality, integrity, transparency, and accessibility, positioning it as a dependable and scalable solution for contemporary healthcare systems.

 Abstract

In many educational institutions, traditional attendance systems often rely on manual entry or single-layer authentication methods, which can lead to inaccuracies, proxy attendance, and inefficient record management. To address these limitations, this paper presents "SmartID", an IoT-based smart attendance system that integrates dual authentication using face recognition and RFID technology. The system is designed to ensure secure, reliable, and automated attendance tracking. The proposed system combines real-time facial recognition with RFID card verification to provide an additional layer of authentication. A NodeMCU (ESP8266) module is used to establish communication between the hardware components and cloud-based services. Upon successful authentication, attendance data is transmitted and stored in Google Sheets, enabling centralized and easily accessible record management. Additionally, an automated email notification feature is incorporated to inform users of their login activity, enhancing transparency and security. The system is capable of handling both login and logout events, along with calculating the duration of presence. By minimizing manual intervention and reducing the chances of proxy attendance, SmartID improves both accuracy and efficiency. The implementation demonstrates a practical and cost-effective solution suitable for academic institutions and other environments requiring secure attendance monitoring. Overall, the integration of IoT with biometric and RFID-based authentication provides a scalable and reliable framework for modern attendance systems.
