 Abstract

Cognitive flexibility is a critical executive function that enables individuals to adapt their thinking to changing environmental demands.1 This study aimed to investigate the difference in cognitive flexibility between working (n=85) and non-working women (n=80). Using the Cognitive Flexibility Inventory (CFI) and a purposive sampling method, data was collected and analyzed via an independent samples t-test. The results revealed a statistically significant difference (t = 4.58, p < .05), indicating that working women possess higher levels of cognitive flexibility than their non-working counterparts. The findings suggest that the multifaceted demands of professional life may serve as a catalyst for cognitive adaptability.

The increasing demand for software development skills has led to a proliferation of e-learning resources. However, many existing platforms lack interactive environments and gamified progression, leading to low completion rates. This paper introduces a comprehensive "Code Learning Platform" developed using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js) and Tailwind CSS. The platform employs a task-based learning methodology where users must complete nine incremental coding challenges in a built-in command editor before unlocking a final project. Upon successful completion, the system awards achievement cards and points, impacting the user's rank on a global leader board. Furthermore, the platform integrates an AI-driven chatbot powered by the Gemini API to provide real- time technical assistance. Administrative features allow for the dynamic management of programming languages and user data, resulting in a scalable and engaging ecosystem for modern programming education. The proposed system focuses on the design and implementation of a task-oriented code learning platform that combines gamification features and AI-based assistance to enhance practical programming education.

 Abstract

Ethics, in the Indian civilizational imagination, has rarely been confined to formal treatises or philosophical abstractions; instead, it has travelled quietly through stories, memories, and lived encounters. This paper introduces the concept of "narrative dharma" to examine how Sudha Murty's fiction functions as a contemporary ethical knowledge system rooted in Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS). Through seemingly simple narratives, Murty transforms everyday life into a site of moral inquiry, where ethical understanding emerges not through instruction but through experience, empathy, and reflection. Focusing on selected works such as Wise and Otherwise, Gently Falls the Bakula, Dollar Bahu, and Grandma's Bag of Stories, the study explores how Murty's storytelling enacts a form of experiential ethics, a mode of learning that aligns closely with traditional Indian pedagogical practices such as kath?-parampar? and the guru-shishya ethos. Her narratives foreground ordinary characters confronting moral dilemmas shaped by family, gender, class, and social responsibility, thereby embedding ethical reasoning within culturally familiar contexts. The paper argues that Murty's fiction does not merely depict moral values but performs ethics, allowing readers to participate in ethical decision-making through narrative engagement. Methodologically, the study adopts an interdisciplinary framework combining narrative ethics, value education theory, and literary pedagogy. By reading Murty's fiction as ethical pedagogy rather than moral didacticism, the paper highlights how Indian values such as dharma, seva, sahajata, and lokasangraha are re-articulated for a contemporary readership. The paper also briefly situates Murty's narrative ethics within the educational vision of NEP-2020, which emphasizes holistic learning, ethical citizenship, and culturally rooted knowledge practices. By conceptualizing Sudha Murty's fiction as an ethical classroom without walls, this paper offers a fresh intervention into Indian English literary studies, demonstrating how narrative can function as a living archive of Indian Knowledge Systems and a powerful medium for value-based education in the present era.

 Abstract

Aviation safety is a critical concern due to the complex and high-risk nature of flight operations. Although aviation technology has advanced significantly, accident prevention systems are still largely reactive, relying on post-incident investigations. With the availability of large volumes of aviation and environmental data, artificial intelligence techniques can be utilized to predict potential risks before flight operations. This paper presents an AI-based flight accident risk prediction system using a One-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (1D-CNN). The proposed system analyzes multiple factors such as weather conditions, aircraft characteristics, flight duration, and pilot experience to estimate accident risk levels. Data preprocessing techniques including normalization and categorical encoding are applied to improve model performance. The trained CNN model effectively captures complex non-linear relationships among features and classifies flights into high-risk and low-risk categories with associated probability scores. The system is deployed through a Flask-based web application that allows real-time and manual risk prediction. Experimental results indicate that the proposed approach provides reliable predictive performance and supports proactive aviation safety management.

This paper aims to analyse the generational development of Indian English diasporic writers and also to position Vikram Seth as a notable postcolonial, postmodern diasporic author of the modern era. Chronologically speaking, the word "diaspora" traces back to the ancient Greek combining 'Dia' meaning "across" or "through," and 'speirein,' meaning "to scatter" or "to sow." Originally associated with agriculture and describing seed dispersal over large areas, the term later took on a deeper metaphorical meaning when it was used in the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, known as the Septuagint, to refer to the forced scattering of the Jewish people from their homelands. His literature proves that diasporic writing is neither homogeneous nor monolithic; it is heterogeneous.

 Abstract

Forensics and security at present often use low technological resources. Security measures often fail to update with the upcoming technology. This project is based on implementing an automatic face recognition of criminals or specific targets using machine-learning approach. Given a set of features to a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), the algorithm generates an image of the target with the specified feature set. The input to the machine can either be a given set of features or a set of portraits varying from frontals to side profiles from which these features can be extracted. The accuracy of the system is directly proportional to the number of epochs trained in the network. The generated output image can vary from primitive, low resolution images to high quality images where features are more recognizable. This is then compared with a predefined database of existing people. Thus, the target can immediately be recognized with the generation of an artificial image with the given biometric feature set, which will be again compared by a discriminator network to check the true identity of the target.

 Abstract

Training and development play a vital role in enhancing employee performance and organizational productivity. With rapid technological advancement, organizations are increasingly adopting online training methods alongside traditional classroom training to meet dynamic learning needs. This study aims to analyse and compare the impact of online training and classroom training on employee performance. The research evaluates employee satisfaction, engagement, learning effectiveness, and performance outcomes associated with both training modes. Primary data were collected using a structured questionnaire from employees across various organizations, and statistical tools such as One-Way ANOVA, One-Sample t-Test, and Chi-Square Test were used for analysis. The findings reveal that employees demonstrate significant satisfaction with training programs, and no significant difference exists in employee satisfaction across online, classroom, and hybrid training methods. The study concludes that training effectiveness depends more on content quality, instructional design, and relevance to job roles rather than the mode of delivery. A hybrid training approach is recommended to maximize employee performance and continuous learning.

 Abstract

Shortly after T.B. Macauley arrived in India as a Member of the Council of India, he suggested in 1835 for first suggested the need to improve and reform prisons in India.1 But he didn't think it was necessary to provide for the education of prisoners. "There is no man whom it would cost more to instruct than a criminal prisoner. None would sooner forget instruction."2 While acknowledging Macaulay as a great historian and statesman, one cannot subscribe to his view that education would be a waste of prisoners. Education helps to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, use and abuse, freedom and slavery, God and his angels and satan and his minions. To deny the acquisition of an asset like education to convicts is to deny them a basic human right.

 Abstract

Assam faces border skirmishes with its neighboring states. Claims and counter claims by communities at the borderland are everyday affairs of Assam and its neighboring Northeast states. The genesis of border skirmish goes back to 1933 Inner line notification and repeated redrawing of Inner line during 1875-1933. 1875 Inner line was the first imaginary border on the map of erstwhile Eastern Bengal Frontier. The line served as border between the hills and plains of Assam. The line also served as jurisdiction limits and administration limits for colonial administrative divisions between the hills and plains of Assam. Border skirmishes have not been resolved due to Assam's firm stand on colonial documents of 1933 Inner line as the official border. This paper analyzes the ongoing border skirmishes between Assam and Mizoram. Various sources are utilized, from Archival papers to make sense of the present to review of Official Border Study Reports. Fieldwork narratives and case study of families at the borderlands between Assam and Mizoram are undertaken. It helps in analyzing different narratives of the ongoing border skirmishes. Overlapping territorial claims by both communities, overlapping administration zones, non-demarcation of borderlands during 1971 Northeast States Reorganisation Act and overlooking of border demarcation during the 1986 Mizo Peace Accord ignite today's border skirmishes on annual and seasonal basis. Till today, no consensus on border issues. Hence, borderland issues have not been solved. Lastly, the paper suggests how border skirmishes can be resolved.

 Abstract

The Morse Code Detection System using eye blink and sound detection is an innovative, web-based communication framework designed to assist individuals with speech and motor impairments. This system transforms involuntary biological signals such as eye blinks and sound pulses into meaningful Morse code, which is then translated into human-readable text. By integrating modern browser-based machine learning technologies including TensorFlow.js and MediaPipe Face Mesh, along with a cloud-native backend powered by Convex, the system enables real-time blink detection, signal classification, data storage, and communication history management. Traditional assistive technologies often require specialized hardware or costly infrastructure, making them inaccessible to many individuals. In contrast, this system operates entirely within a standard browser environment and uses only a webcam and microphone, promoting accessibility, affordability, and ease of deployment. The architecture supports calibration for personalized sensitivity, session-based logging for user communication patterns, and real-time signal visualization. This project demonstrates how modern web technologies, combined with intelligent detection algorithms, can facilitate reliable communication for users with paralysis, ALS, or other conditions affecting motor capabilities. The system not only decodes Morse code signals accurately but also ensures session persistence, user customization, and extensibility toward future enhancements such as advanced sound detection and predictive communication models.

The number of individuals being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes is increasing worldwide. Of particular concern, the incidence of type 2 diabetes in children and adolescents is increasing rapidly and reflects the increasing burden of juvenile obesity. There are a number of risk factors associated with the condition; some of these are due to lifestyle; however, the majority is outside of our control, such as our genetics. There is an urgent need to develop improved therapeutics for the prevention and management of this multifactorial condition as existing medications often cause undesirable side effects and are poorly complied with. Diabetes can lead to the development of associated comorbidities. Natural products are gaining momentum for the prevention and management of various multifactorial diseases, including type 2 diabetes. In this review, we provide an overview of the strengths and limitations of fenugreek and its constituents as a therapeutic agent for type 2 diabetes, including its bioavailability and interaction with the microbiome.

 Abstract

Pharmaceutical development has undergone revolutionary transformation through the integration of computational approaches into traditional discovery protocols. Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD) represents a systematic framework employing mathematical modeling and in-silico simulations to predict therapeutic efficacy and optimize chemical structures prior to laboratory synthesis and validation. This methodology encompasses multiple complementary computational strategies: target structure exploitation, ligand-receptor interaction modeling, similarity-based analysis, and activity prediction through statistical correlation. Contemporary pharmaceutical challenges including protracted development timelines (typically 10-15 years) and escalating costs (approaching $2-3 billion per approved agent) can be substantially mitigated through rational computational prescreening of candidate compounds. This comprehensive literature review synthesizes current understanding of CADD fundamental concepts, evaluates principal computational techniques including receptorligand positioning algorithms and molecular property prediction models, examines available computational platforms, explores therapeutic discovery applications, and discusses emerging technologies including artificial intelligence integration. The intersection of advanced computational techniques with experimental verification methodologies signifies a fundamental paradigm shift in pharmaceutical research strategy.

This study examines the factors that influence hotel selection in metropolitan markets, with specific reference to Holiday Inn Mumbai International Airport. Mumbai represents one of the most competitive hospitality environments in India, where hotels must go beyond brand recognition to convert awareness into actual bookings. The research focuses on key determinants such as cleanliness, room comfort, location, pricing, service quality, brand reputation, loyalty programs and the role of digital platforms in shaping guest decisions. The study adopts a descriptive and quantitative research design using primary data collected through a structured online questionnaire administered to ninety respondents, including both guests who have stayed at the hotel and those who have not. Secondary data from academic journals and industry reports are used to support the analysis. The findings reveal a significant gap between brand awareness and booking behavior. While the Holiday Inn brand enjoys strong visibility, this does not translate proportionately into stays. Cleanliness, hygiene, comfort and accessibility emerge as the most influential decision factors, outweighing brand name alone. Digital platforms play a decisive role in the hotel selection process by supporting discovery, comparison and evaluation through online travel agencies and reviews. Guests who have stayed at the property report satisfaction with rooms and food and beverage services, while banquet facilities and marketing communication show lower visibility. The study concludes that to improve conversion, the hotel must strengthen its digital presence, reposition itself beyond a primarily business travel identity and leverage operational strengths to build loyalty. The research contributes practical insights for hospitality managers operating in highly competitive urban markets.
