 Abstract

The research study will investigate the evolving and multifaceted effects that China's modernization has had on regional integration and cooperation within ASEAN. China's emergence as a massive economy towards the end of the 20th century has profoundly impacted the economic and geopolitical realities within Southeast Asia. The research looks at how China's trade expansion, foreign direct investment, and region-specific infrastructure projects, in particular the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), have shaped ASEAN's economic space and frameworks. Chinese engagement has elevated the region's economic growth and connectivity but also raises concerns about political dependence and strategic vulnerability, especially as seen in continued disputes like the ones in the South China Sea. The qualitative, analytical mode of the research would evaluate ways in which ASEAN has responded to developments in this arena-in particular by strengthening regional mechanisms, seeking to promote economic integration through initiatives such as ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), and all efforts related to the preservation of strategic autonomy. The key findings indicate that China's rise has been a both-way push and pull factor in ASEAN's regional ambitions, displaying the bloc's navigation through an increasingly complex and shifting geopolitical landscape.

The Fundamental Duties enshrined in Article 51-A of the Indian Constitution serve as moral obligations for citizens, aiming to promote responsible behavior and uphold national integrity. This review critically examines two empirical studies that assess the awareness and implementation of these duties among Indian youth. By analyzing the methodologies and findings of these studies, we identify key insights and highlight areas for further research, especially focusing on urban centers like Hyderabad. The study also contextualizes youth participation in constitutional democracy and the gaps in civic education, drawing connections with national education policies and contemporary sociopolitical trends.

ABSTRACT A manufacturing business with a staff of 1200 people and a study sample of 292 participants is the focus of this study, which examines the importance of upskilling and reskilling in the context of automation. The core objective is to examine how automation accelerates the need for continuous skill enhancement within the organization. Additionally, the study explores employees' development of critical thinking, their views on technological advancements, the role of emotional intelligence in adapting to change, and the impact of creativity on the success of upskilling initiatives. The research is structured around four key factors: critical thinking, technological advancement, emotional intelligence, and creativity. To ensure the accuracy of findings, statistical tools including the Mann-Whitney Test, Kruskal-Wallis Test, Chi-Square Test, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis were employed. The study ultimately emphasizes the vital role of targeted learning strategies in equipping employees to remain competent and adaptable in the face of industrial automation.

Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) remains a deeply concerning issue in India, and despite the robust legal framework of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012, preventive mechanisms at the grassroots level require strengthening. Schools, being primary institutions for children's development and safety, are uniquely positioned to play a proactive role in preventing CSA. This paper explores the responsibilities and potential contributions of schools under the POCSO Act, with a focus on teacher training, awareness programs, the formulation of child protection policies, and collaboration with legal authorities.

 Abstract

With the rapid growth of cloud computing, ensuring data security and resilience against sophisticated cyber threats has become increasingly critical. Traditional static encryption approaches are often inadequate against adaptive adversaries capable of exploiting predictable patterns. This paper proposes a novel Adaptive AES-Driven Encryption Framework integrated with Moving Target Defense (MTD) mechanisms to dynamically protect data in cloud environments. The framework enhances the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) by introducing dynamic key generation, periodic cryptographic context switching, and intelligent attack surface shifting based on real-time threat assessment. By continuously altering the encryption parameters and resource configurations, the proposed model significantly reduces the attack surface and limits adversary reconnaissance. Experimental evaluations demonstrate substantial improvements in data confidentiality, key unpredictability, and defense robustness without compromising system performance. This work marks a significant step toward autonomous, adaptive, and proactive cloud security solutions.

In the dynamic and complex domain of financial markets, investment decision-making requires rapid analysis, accurate predictions, and efficient risk management. This research explores how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be effectively leveraged to optimize investment strategies. By integrating machine learning algorithms, natural language processing, and predictive analytics, AI systems can analyze vast datasets, identify market patterns, and support data-driven decision-making. The paper examines real-world applications of AI in portfolio management, algorithmic trading, and sentiment analysis. It also highlights the benefits, limitations, and ethical considerations associated with AI-driven investment tools. The study concludes that AI, when properly implemented, can enhance decision accuracy, reduce human biases, and deliver substantial returns, thereby transforming the investment landscape for both individual and institutional investors.

Logotherapy, a form of existential therapy, focuses on helping individuals find meaning in their lives. It's based on the idea that the primary human motivation is to discover a purpose, even in the face of suffering.People have a fundamental drive to find meaning in their lives, which can manifest in various forms, such as creativity, love, or service to others. Shifting the focus away from the individual's symptoms and problems and toward their interests, values, and goals, helping them to find meaning outside of themselves. The quest to answer "what is the meaning of life?" has been around since the beginning of time. To find meaning in life can be seen as the primary motivation of each person, and the concept of logotherapy is based on that proposition.This article explores Somerset Maugham's timeless novel "The razor's edge" through the lense of victor frankl's logotherapy - the new age therapy of survival.

 Abstract

Medicated herbal kajal is redefining eye care by blending tradition with therapeutic botanicals, offering both beauty and healing in a single stroke. However, most medicated kajal formulations overlook the risk of microbial growth and potential ocular irritation, compromising long-term safety. Inadequate herbal extract standardization further affects its therapeutic reliability. Here, we develop a herbal medicated kajal with optimized extraction, formulation, and stability to enhance therapeutic efficacy and ocular safety. Key herbal ingredients such as Triphala ghrita, Marigold, Gotu kola, Cashew kernel and botanical oils are examined for their anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and soothing properties. Optimized five extraction techniques, including 1) Ayurvedic Sneha Kalpana process for making triphala ghrita, 2) Steam distillation for fennel seed oil, 3) Soxhlet extraction for cashew & marigold essential oils, 4) Decoction method for extracting coleus, and 5) Microwave assisted extraction to enhance bioactive yield. The study also reviews formulation strategies, stability assessments, and safety evaluations, ensuring suitability for ocular application. Findings support the potential of herbal kajal as a safe, effective, and stable alternative to conventional eye cosmetic with added medicinal benefits.
