 Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: An estimated 15 million babies are born pre term every year. Approximately 1 million children die each year due to complications of preterm birth. Nearly 3.5 million babies in India are born too early, 1.7 million babies born with birth defects, 40% of neonatal deaths happen during labour or within 24 hours due to the Pre-maturity (35%), neonatal infections (33%), birth asphyxia (20%) and congenital malformations (9%). Results: It was identified that total newborn admissions in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (Intramural) and Referral Newborn Unit (Extramural) were 1128 from January 2022 to December 2022 at Rajah Muthiah Medical College and Hospital, Chidambaram, Cuddalore District, Tamilnadu. The prevalence of preterm birth was 456 (40.42%). In which, 271(59.42%) of them were moderate to late preterm (32-37 weeks), 144 (31.57%) were early preterm (28-32 weeks) and 41 (8.99%) were extreme preterm birth (<28 weeks), totally, 353 were inborn and 103 were outborn. The common Health Problems of Preterm Neonates was assessed among 100 preterm neonates and it was found to be feeding problems (100%), hypothermia (92%), breathing problems (62%), Congenital Anomalies (7%), Neural Tube Defects (2%), skin infection (2%), Meningitis (1%), Birth injury- (1%) and Down syndrome (1%).

 Abstract

Sustainability is a critical issue in today's society. Organizations can no longer consistently grow their businesses without society's cooperation. Marketing managers thus focus on satisfying consumers' socio and ethical needs, such as through providing cultural promotion, nvironmental protection, and disaster relief activities. Sustainability encompasses an organization's economic, social, and environmental responsibilities, provoking the question of how to implement them effectively. This study focuses on the traditional fashion market's sustainable marketing activities and their performance. The results demonstrate that the traditional fashion market's sustainable activities have a positive effect on brand image, trust, and satisfaction. Moreover, they have a positive influence on building brand loyalty. The results offer meaningful implications for corporate executive officers and marketers to create more effective sustainable management strategies.

 Abstract

The issues of forest fires pose a significant environmental threat which usually leads to loss of biodiversity, destruction of property and air pollution. This study proposes an intelligent environment monitoring system using Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) integrated with Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) model for real-time detection of forest fire. The data-set used for training the RNN algorithm is the Environmental Sensor Telemetry Data (ESTD) data-set from Kaggle data-set repository. The data-set was further pre-processed through data cleaning, normalization and the use of Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) for handling data imbalance. The RNN model presented is made up of 3 hidden layers with Tanh activation function and an output layer with Sigmoid activation function for binary classification of either there is forest fire or not. Google Colab development environment was used for implementation of the model and performance evaluation results of the system presented that the model attained an accuracy of 94.3%, precision of 0.9320, recall of 0.9417 and F1-score of 0.9368. The results indicates that the model is reliable and that the application of AI-driven WSN systems can be used to enhance early wildfire detection and environmental monitoring. Finally, future research could consider hyperparameter optimization, additional environmental factors and real-world deployment to further improve detection accuracy.

 Abstract

Initial Public Offering (IPO) is the process of issuing shares to the public for the first time by an issuing company to the public directly (McDougal et al., 2019). To raise the required capital for the business, most organizations go for public issues, and IPO is an important source among them. But sometimes there will be a huge difference between the issue price and listing price, as happened in a recent Hyundai Motors IPO, post-listing on stock exchanges, and one-month, two-month, and three-month performance of IPOs. Therefore, this paper aims to study the short-term performance of IPO listed on the NSE. The data has been collected from the NSE official website from 10th Feb 2024 -10th Oct 2024. The Listing Day, One month, Two Months, Three months, Six months, and One-year average returns are calculated for analysis. This paper found that most of the IPOs are mispriced, and it was found that there was a massive difference between the Issue price and the listing price. Thus, this paper suggests that before investing in any IPOs, investors should evaluate the past performance of a company and should be cautious enough to decide on investments in IPOs. This paper is helpful for investors, stock broking houses, QIBs, etc., in making proper investment decisions.

 Abstract

This study explores how poverty directly influences educational decisions in underdeveloped rural regions of Jammu and Kashmir. Through a structured survey of 150 respondents--students, parents, and teachers--it uncovers the emotional, financial, and practical choices families face when survival outweighs schooling. Results show that poverty leads to early dropouts, irregular attendance, and limited career aspirations. The study calls for systemic interventions to ensure no child is forced to choose between livelihood and learning.

 Abstract

Enhancing images captured in low-light conditions is crucial for improving visibility and overall quality, which directly benefits a wide range of computer vision tasks. However, traditional methods and many learning-based models often struggle in real-world environments due to issues like overfitting, poor generalization, or high computational demands. In this study, we investigate a novel low-light image enhancement framework called Self-Calibrated Illumination (SCI), designed to be efficient, adaptable, and effective in practical scenarios. SCI employs a cascaded illumination estimation strategy combined with a unique self-calibrated module, enabling the model to deliver high quality enhancement with low computational overhead. Unlike typical deep learning models that require multiple processing blocks during inference, SCI achieves comparable or better results using a single lightweight block, thanks to its convergence focused training approach. Through comprehensive experiments on benchmark datasets, we validate SCI's advantage in both image quality and performance efficiency. This report provides an in-depth exploration of SCI's methodology, implementation details, and evaluation, positioning it as a strong candidate for real-world low-light image enhancement.

 Abstract

Transgenders has been a part of the Indian subcontinent since the time immemorial. The transgender community is one of the most marginalised and vulnerable section in the society and for decades, the community has struggled for acceptance, equality and social identity. As per 2011 census, the total population of transgenders in India is around 4.88 lakh, and in Odisha the population is approximately 20,300 but the majority of them are invisible in mainstream society. Odisha is the first region in India to givesocial welfare benefitsto transgender people such aspension, housing and food grains. These benefitsare aimed at improving their overall socio-economic status with an objective to empower the community and strengthen their livelihood. In 2017, the Government ofOdisha formulated an umbrella scheme 'Sweekruti' to secure the rights of transgender community and ensure equitable justice. The scheme aims to provide legal aid, counselling and guidance services for transgender persons. In 2014, their hard fought battlesled toa milestonevictory whenIndia's apexCourt finallyrecognized transgender personas a "third gender".But unfortunately, the transgender community were remain an ignored and neglected segment of our society and faced pervasive discrimination, despite various protectiveprovisions underlying in thegovernment policy . Transgender individuals often face discrimination, marginalization, and exclusion in almost all aspects of socio-economic life, including employment, housing, education, and healthcare. This exclusion has a significant impact on their quality of life and on their inclusion process. Their constant social ignorance or disregard at the hands of general people create constant hindrance in their social inclusion process. Withthis backdrop, the present paper explores the innovative measures taken up by the state government through social entrepreneurship schemes for empowering and creating a new identity for the transgender community.Further objective is to examine and asses the implementation andimpact ofvarious government policies and bring out a constructive plan and solution to their problems.

 Abstract

This paper provides a comparative analysis of women's rights and duties as delineated in the sacred texts of Islam (the Qur'an and Sunnah) and Christianity (the Bible). Utilizing a scriptural-textual method supported by academic literature, it juxtaposes the tenets of both faiths across spiritual, economic, and socio-legal domains. The analysis finds that Islam established a comprehensive and historically progressive framework of rights for women in its 7th-century context, founded on an unambiguous doctrine of spiritual equality. This contrasts with the more ambiguous theological paradigms in Christian scripture, which contain tensions between egalitarian principles and patriarchal injunctions. The paper concludes that many contemporary challenges to women's rights stem from patriarchal cultural interpretations rather than the core texts, positioning an authentic reading of Islamic scripture as a source of liberation and justice for women.
