 Abstract

Effective greenspace management in industrial areas hinges on systematic assessment and early risk identification, particularly concerning tree health. Tree health assessment is a key diagnostic tool that uses empirical indicators to detect signs of stress, damage, and structural weaknesses, factors critical to evaluating potential risks and estimating tree longevity. This study evaluates the condition of trees within the greenspaces of PT Pupuk Sriwidjaja Palembang, aiming to support informed decision-making for maintenance and risk mitigation. Field surveys employed the Visual Tree Assessment (VTA) method and applied criteria from the USDA Forest Health Monitoring (FHM) protocol, focusing on key indicators such as physical damage, crown condition, and site quality. esults showed that 57.7% of trees were healthy, while 42.3% exhibited varying levels of damage: 29.5% with light damage, 11.1% with moderate damage, and 1.7% with heavy damage. Common types of damage included broken or dead branches, brums, conks, and open wounds. Spatial analysis demonstrated that tree damage was predominantly concentrated in the northern zones, especially in road corridors, office areas, and parks, whereas minimal damage was observed in the green barrier. These findings highlight the importance of routine tree health monitoring, targeted maintenance strategies, and the integration of spatial risk mapping to ensure safer, healthier, and more resilient green infrastructure in industrial landscapes

 Abstract

Background - Lumbar spine disorders such as lumbar spondylosis, sciatica (Gridhrasi), intervertebral disc bulge, herniation, with ligamentum hypertrophy, etc are common causes of chronic lower back pain and disability worldwide. In Ayurveda, these conditions are primarily understood through the lens of Vata dosha imbalance, particularly affecting Asthi dhatu (bone tissue) and Majja dhatu (nervous tissue). This article explores the Ayurvedic perspective on the pathogenesis, classification, and management of lumbar spine diseases. Objective: This study evaluates the impact of the Ayurveda-based Scientific Reversal Detox Process (SRDP) in the patients of Lumbar spine pathologies in patients adviced spine surgeries and retrospective improvement with specific emphasis on the necessity of the SRDP prior to external therapies. Result: Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant reduction in pain, stiffness, and disability scores (ODI), along with an improvement in Straight Leg Raise (SLR) values following SRDP treatment in lumbar disorders.After 60 days of therapy 55.5% of patients showed excellent improvement, 30.15% exhibited moderate improvement, 14.28% experienced mild symptomatic relief Thus, nearly 85% of patients experienced notable relief from lumbar symptoms with SRDP treatment. Conclusion: The SRDP therapy, with its structured focus on detoxification followed by rejuvenation and functional restoration, led to significant relief in pain, stiffness, and improved mobility among patients with lumbar spine disorders. The initial phase of Shodhana (detox) may have enhanced the absorption and effectiveness of subsequent Ayurvedic therapies. This stepwise, integrative approach not only addresses symptomatic relief but also targets the underlying Vata-Kaphaja pathology.

 Abstract

Hydrophobic encapsulation presents a versatile and effective strategy for modulating drug release profiles in pharmaceutical formulations. This review examines the design principles, mechanisms, materials, techniques, and applications of hydrophobic matrix systems, focusing on their ability to achieve sustained or controlled drug release. Hydrophobic matrices, composed of lipophilic polymers, waxes, or lipid-based compounds, form physical barriers around active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), impeding water penetration and slowing drug diffusion. Drug release from these systems typically follows diffusion-controlled or erosion-mediated mechanisms, governed by factors such as matrix composition, drug solubility, and particle morphology. Synthetic polymers like ethyl cellulose, polycaprolactone (PCL), and PLGA, alongside natural waxes and lipids, are widely used to construct these matrices due to their biocompatibility and chemical stability. Various encapsulation techniques--such as solvent evaporation, melt granulation, spray drying, and compression coating--enable the tailoring of drug release kinetics and improve drug stability. Hydrophobic matrices are particularly advantageous for delivering poorly water-soluble drugs and for applications requiring prolonged therapeutic action, such as in the management of chronic diseases, implantable systems, transdermal patches, and paediatric or geriatric formulations. Despite challenges such as initial burst release, low drug loading, and scalability limitations, recent advances in material science and nanotechnology continue to improve the efficiency and applicability of these systems. Mathematical modelling using Higuchi, Korsmeyer-Peppas, and zero-order kinetics supports the optimization of release behaviour. Overall, hydrophobic encapsulation strategies represent a robust platform for enhancing drug delivery, improving patient compliance, and achieving consistent therapeutic outcomes across diverse clinical and pharmaceutical scenarios.

 Abstract

Wireless devices have become essential for data transmission, but their security vulnerabilities pose significant risks. While wireless communication offers benefits like portability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness, it also introduces threats such as identity theft, data breaches, and financial loss due to its dynamic and infrastructure-less nature. This paper examines security flaws in wireless networks, device-specific vulnerabilities, and challenges in data sharing. It discusses the consequences of security gaps and highlights mitigation strategies, including encryption, secure authentication, and robust communication methods. Given the rising importance of cybersecurity, regular updates, adherence to security standards, and proactive risk management are emphasized.

 Abstract

In elite basketball, hand-eye coordination is a critical visual-motor skill, directly influencing players' ability to execute, react, and decide under high-pressure, dynamic scenarios. This paper presents a comprehensive synthesis of the underlying visual-cognitive components that enable high-level coordination, such as peripheral vision, depth perception, reaction time, and visual acuity. Drawing from neuroscience, sports vision research, and applied performance science, it explores advanced assessment techniques and both low-tech and high-tech training interventions. It further incorporates mental training techniques like visualization and discusses preventive and rehabilitative aspects including protective eyewear and post-injury recovery. The conclusion emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach where athletes, coaches, and vision specialists collaborate to build this "athlete's superpower."

 Abstract

This paper presents a personalized skincare recommendation system that integrates deep learning for skin type classification with machine learning for product recommendation. The system allows users to upload facial images to identify skin type--categorized as oily, dry, or normal--using a fine-tuned ResNet50 model. Based on the classification, a recommendation engine suggests skincare products that align with the user's skin type, price preferences, and product category. This approach reduces the reliance on subjective assessments and trial-and-error, enhancing user satisfaction and skincare effectiveness.

 Abstract

Mass itself does not create gravity. The motion of mass creates a motion field around mass; this field is gravity, which can bend light and attract other objects. If a 50 kg stone is rotated at high speed, a motion field will be created around it, which can bend light and attract other objects. On the other hand, if the same weight stone is at rest, the light will not bend and will not attract other objects. Therefore, the motion field is the main cause of light bending or lensing. Even experiments show that high-velocity particles can cause gravitational lensing. Such as, neutrino beam. Furthermore, space is not curved by any external influence. Space is independent, while mass and momentum depend on space, and gravity depends on mass and momentum. Hence, gravity is simply the result of mass and momentum and not a fundamental force on its own. Importantly, gravity does not require two objects to exist; a single moving object can generate gravity. Even gravitational effects can be observed due to moving objects in space. Finally, if there is no mass, gravity is created if there is motion. Example - photon. So it is proven that motion is the main source of gravity.

 Abstract

Appendicular mass is considered as one of the complications of acute appendicitis but there is no consensus on the optimal management of this condition. The management of this condition has always been conservative management with interval appendectomy as popularized by Oschner and Sheerin. The need for interval appendectomy has now been questioned, and an emerging trend has been early appendectomy by laparoscopic method. There are no gold standard guidelines on the management of appendicular mass and treatment.
