 Abstract

The present study was conducted to examine gender differences in youth problems among adolescents in Parbhani, Maharashtra. A total of 200 adolescents were selected through random sampling from the population of Parbhani, Maharashtra. The sample consisted of 100 male adolescents and 100 female adolescents. Efforts were made to obtain a representative sample with respect to area of residence and educational background, while participants were selected from a broadly similar socioeconomic background. Youth problems were assessed using the Youth Problem Inventory developed by Dr. (Mrs.) M. Verma. The mean score obtained by male adolescents was 67.56 with a standard deviation of 8.72, whereas female adolescents obtained a mean score of 58.29 with a standard deviation of 7.63. An independent-samples t test was used to examine the difference between the two groups. The obtained t value was 8.00 with 198 degrees of freedom, which was statistically significant at the .001 level. The findings indicate that male adolescents reported significantly higher levels of youth problems than female adolescents. The findings are consistent with previous Indian research reporting significant gender differences in adolescent problems and emphasizing the importance of gender-sensitive approaches to understanding and addressing youth concerns. The study highlights the need for systematic identification, counselling, and preventive interventions for adolescents experiencing family, educational, social, and personal difficulties.

 Abstract

Algebraic structures play a very outstanding role in mathematics. Iseki introduced the concept of quasi ideal for a semirings. The quasi ideals in ternary semirings are a generalization of left and right ideals. Bi-ideals are generalization of quasi ideals. In 2017, Marapureddy Murali Krishna Rao introduced bi-quasi ideals in semirings. With this connection, here we are introducing some properties of bi-quasi ideals in ternary semirings.We proved that every left(right) ideal of ternary semiring is bi-quasi ideal, every quasi ideal of ternary semiring is bi-quasi ideal and every bi-ideal of ternary semiring is a bi-quasi ideal.

 Abstract

It is an irony that Salt is an integral part of homoeopathic therapeutics as the contribution of salt is huge in the preparation of homoeopathic medicines. Numbers of medicines are prepared from the salt in homoeopathy as per the Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeias of various nations. 'Natrum Mur' is a leading drug in Homoeopathy & that is Sodium Chloride. On the other hand, there are also a numbers of medicines to treat conditions arising from excessive intake of salt. The current article discusses the intake of excess salt & its consequences in the human body. Thereafter, it delves in to the epidemiology of the consequences of consuming extra salt, its clinical repercussions and management of these issues & finally the application of homoeopathy to deal with this issue. It concludes with the cost effectiveness & therapeutic effectiveness of the homoeopathic system of medicine & suggests its involvement on a large scale in the nation. It only reinforces the age old concept of managing these chronic conditions through diet, regimen, exercise & homoeopathy. The suggestion of large scale use of homoeopathy is based on the premise of the modalities of essential medicines. The National List of Essential Medicines (NLEM) envisages that a medicine can be called essential only if it is cost effective, clinically effective & has no side effects. Homoeopathy fits into this triad fully. The article also suggests a treatment protocol based on the typical clinical features of excessive salt consumption & aspires that the public benefits from the protocol at large.

 Abstract

: Steel is still the reinforcement of choice in most concrete work, mainly because it is strong and behaves predictably, but rising steel prices and ongoing corrosion problems have pushed researchers to look elsewhere. This study looks at jute, a cheap, renewable fibre that is widely available in India, as a way to cut down on steel use without giving up too much performance. Jute Fibre Reinforced Concrete (JFRC) was prepared with fibre contents of 0.25%, 0.50% and 0.75% by weight, and cube specimens were tested for compressive and split tensile strength at 7, 14 and 28 days to find the fibre content that works best. Jute Fibre Reinforced Polymer (JFRP) bars, made from treated jute fibre, binding wire and an epoxy resin coating, were then cast into beam specimens as a partial substitute for conventional steel bars, and their flexural behaviour was compared against beams reinforced entirely with steel. Across every age tested, 0.50% jute fibre gave the best compressive and split tensile results, with the 28-day compressive strength going up by close to 19% over the plain concrete control, while 0.75% fibre content actually performed worse than the control, most likely because the fibres were not dispersing properly at that dosage. Beams cast with 0.50% jute fibre concrete and 50% steel + 50% JFRP bar reinforcement reached a flexural strength of 17.83 MPa, recovering most of the capacity lost when half the steel was swapped out for jute bars. Overall, the results suggest that jute fibre reinforced concrete combined with JFRP bars is a workable, low-cost way to reduce dependence on steel in reinforced concrete members, though the trade-off in stiffness and long-term durability still needs closer study before it can be used in structural applications.

 Abstract

Inclusive education in India is frequently addressed through policy directives, yet there is limited empirical research on pedagogical practices that facilitate inclusion in everyday classroom settings (Rakshit & Yadav, 2025). This study examines inclusive pedagogical practices in special education classrooms through the lens of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS). Utilizing a qualitative research method, the research focuses on three classrooms and six teachers within a special education context in Vadodara, Gujarat. The classrooms and teachers were selected through purposive sampling according to criteria such as experience in special education and familiarity with inclusive teaching practices, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of how these methods are applied. Data from classroom interaction transcripts and teacher narratives were subjected to thematic analysis, which entailed coding, pattern identification, and theme development to capture the core aspects of inclusive pedagogy. The analysis shows that inclusive pedagogy is enacted through individualized instruction, experiential and multi-sensory learning, relational care, peer-supported interaction, and adaptable assessment strategies. These methods emphasize learner readiness, participation, and emotional well-being over standardized academic outcomes. When interpreted through the IKS framework, the findings align substantially with indigenous pedagogical principles, such as learner readiness (adhik?ra), experiential learning (anubhava and abhy?sa), and ethical commitment in the teacher-learner relationship. This study delivers empirical evidence to the discussion of inclusive education by demonstrating how Indian Knowledge Systems can inform a culturally rooted, practice-oriented model of inclusive pedagogy.

 Abstract

Security Operations Centers (SOCs) today face an overwhelming number of security alerts due to the rapid growth of cyber threats and widespread use of monitoring tools. While these alerts play a crucial role in identifying potential attacks, many of them turn out to be false positives or low-risk events. This often leads to alert fatigue, making it difficult for analysts to focus on real threats and respond efficiently. To address this issue, this project proposes an AI/ML-based alert prioritization system that intelligently filters and ranks security alerts from multiple sources such as SIEM systems, intrusion detection systems, firewalls, and endpoint security tools. The system processes alerts through stages like preprocessing, feature extraction, and supervised machine learning classification to identify high-risk incidents. A centralized dashboard displays prioritized alerts along with risk scores, helping analysts make faster and better decisions. By reducing unnecessary alert noise and improving visibility, the system enhances SOC performance, minimizes response time, and supports proactive threat detection in a secure and controlled environment.

 Abstract

Airborne contaminants and global warming are both of the leading severe and interrelated environmental issues impacting people worldwide in the 21st century. Together, these factors have a significant effect on healthy ecosystems, ecological sustainability, human well-being, and especially impact on vulnerable communities in developed as well as developing nations. Human-caused processes such as burning of fossil fuels, industrial development, urbanization, transport and agricultural methods have resulted in a substantial rise in atmospheric levels of particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), ozone (O3), carbon monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and black carbon. Around a comparable time, climate change influences weather trends due to higher temperatures, different patterns of rainfall, enhanced atmospheric equilibrium, burning forests, and severe thunderstorms, all of which affect the production, transportation and scattering of harmful substances, and the human inhalation of these substances. This article critically examines the connections among air pollution, global warming, human contact, health effects, and government policies. It covers the main sources of atmospheric pollutants, routes of exposure, biological systems, and the effects of air pollutants on pulmonary, cardiovascular, nervous system, metabolism, reproduction, and psychological health, cancer, and premature death. It also assesses the effect of airborne pollutants on DALYs, YLL and shortfalls in life cycle, along with health disparities in various regions and socioeconomic categories. This article also discusses how global warming can worsen airborne pollutants episodes due to enhanced photochemical ozone synthesis, wildfire emission levels, urban heat island phenomenon, and changes in airflow. The success rate, difficulties with implementation, and potential outcomes of various national and international policy proposals, such as the World Health Organization's (WHO) air quality standards, the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Paris Agreement, as well as India's National Clean Air Program (NCAP) were assessed critically. Technological advances including satellite-based remote sensing; cost-effective network sensors, AI, machine learning, and high-level precision health care are introduced as revolutionary instruments for risk assessment and ecological governance. Strengthening multidisciplinary studies, expanding long-term exposure observation, improving surveillance frameworks, and implementing scientifically supported environmental regulations are critical to reducing disease burdens and building adaptability to global warming. A coordinated worldwide approach of atmospheric science, epidemiological research, public health and environmental policies will be required to achieve sustainable progress and protect subsequent generations.

 Abstract

Microneedle (MN) technology has emerged as a promising strategy for transdermal drug delivery by combining the advantages of hypodermic injections and conventional transdermal systems. MNs are minimally invasive, painless, and capable of enhancing the delivery of small molecules, peptides, proteins, vaccines, and biologics through the skin barrier. This review summarizes skin anatomy relevant to MN-mediated delivery, types of microneedles, fabrication techniques, evaluation parameters, clinical applications, regulatory considerations, and recent advancements in smart and responsive systems. Conventional fabrication methods such as micromolding, photolithography, and laser ablation, along with modern approaches including 3D printing and femtosecond laser micromachining, are discussed. Current challenges involving drug loading, manufacturing scalability, formulation stability, and regulatory approval are also highlighted. Future developments in nanotechnology, biodegradable polymers, biosensors, and artificial intelligence are expected to improve the clinical translation and commercialization of MN-based systems. Overall, microneedles represent a patient-friendly and efficient platform for next-generation transdermal drug delivery and personalized medicine.
