 Abstract

Over the last few years, researcher have noticed that academic libraries in India have been changing a little bit. Technology has changed academic libraries. For this research paper, researcher studied research published between 2018 and 2025. And found most research mention about RFID systems, AI tools, e-learning platforms, digital repositories, and even upgraded integrated library software. Because of these changes, the role of librarians seems to be shifting. They are not only managing books and shelves; now they provide digital resources, and they guide and educate users on how to use e-resources. But, to be honest, this transformation is not easy everywhere. Several small libraries still face real issues- a lack of trained staff, budget issues, and ethical issues. From what researchers understand so far, if librarians get regular training, sufficient funds, updated policy, and support from the institute, then academic libraries in India can keep moving toward more learner-centered, tech-friendly environments.

 Abstract

Today when population is moving with modernization in the 21st century a lot of new diseases emerge out due to faulty life style, unhealthy food, lack of exercise, mental stress and disturbed sleep. Ajirna is a common disease which originates from digestive power insufficiency (5Agni) due to all above factors of modern Era. It is the state of incomplete process of digestion of ingested food. The main reason for indigestion is the deranged functions of Agni, Incomplete digestion and metabolism due to disturbed digestive fire leads to formation of under processed state of food termed as ajirna, Ajeerna is caused by agnimandya. Derangement of Agni is one of the root cause for development of diseases. Ajirna arises as a result of less/excessive/irregular digestion of food and this further produces Ama which circulate all over body. Ama combine with other Doshas and Dushya, vitiate them, produces many diseases. There are 4-6 types of Ajirna mentioned in Ayurveda by different acharyas. Also there is variation in treatment as per opinion of different acharyas. So it is important to see the details of Ajirna Chikitsa in Ayurved collectively. So this article is focusing on the Ajirna (Indigestion) Chikitsa in Ayurveda.

 Abstract

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a disorder characterized by abnormal tone, posture and movement and clinically classified based on the predominant motor syndrome--spastic hemiplegia, spastic diplegia, spastic quadriplegia, and extrapyramidal or dyskinetic. The incidence of CP is 2-3 per 1,000 live births. Prematurity and low birthweight are important risk factors for CP; however, multiple other factors have been associated with an increased risk for CP, including maternal infections, and multiple gestation. In most cases of CP the initial injury to the brain occurs during early fetal brain development; intracerebral hemorrhage and periventricular leukomalacia are the main pathologic findings found in preterm infants who develop CP. The diagnosis of CP is primarily based on clinical findings. Early diagnosis is possible based on a combination of clinical history, use of standardized neuromotor assessment and findings on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); however, in most clinical settings CP is more reliably recognized by 2 years of age. Because CP is associated with multiple associated and secondary medical conditions, its management requires a multidisciplinary team approach. Most children with CP grow up to be productive adults. Sahaja (Hereditary) Garbhaja (Congenital) and Jataja (Psychosomatic) types of diseases. Aim & Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of Ayurvedic interventions, including oral medications and Panchakarma procedures, in improving the condition of patient with spastic cerebral palsy who had previously shown no improvement with conventional treatments. Materials and methods: This case study Age of the patient - Sex of patient male Age of patient 3 y 6m,In Developmental history,No neck holding. Neonatal history: Term baby Meconium aspiration Weak cry HIE, Fever with convulsions after a week of discharge Treatment at various higher centres Complaints :Unable to stand on its own Drowlling Unable to chew food. Patient was advised admission for 7 days and was treated with internal medications, During the treatment all the signs and symptoms of cerebral palsy reduced to a very high extend.

 Abstract

Road traffic accidents remain a major global safety challenge, with driver fatigue and alcohol consumption identified as leading causes. This project proposes the development of a smart, real-time embedded safety system designed to continuously assess driver alertness and detect alcohol impairment. Driver drowsiness is identified using computer vision-based facial analysis, where facial landmarks are tracked to compute the Eye Aspect Ratio (EAR). Alcohol presence is detected through breath analysis using an MQ3 alcohol sensor. When hazardous conditions are identified, the system immediately issues preventive alerts via a buzzer and an OLED display, enabling timely corrective action. The solution is implemented on an ESP32 platform and utilizes Python with OpenCV for real-time image processing. This cost effective and non-intrusive system bridges the gap between expensive commercial driver monitoring solutions and conventional reactive safety mechanisms. Experimental results indicate reliable real-time performance with high detection accuracy and reduced false alarms, making the system a practical and proactive approach to improving road safety.

The present research attempts to develop a first order (D1) UV-spectrophotometric method that is convenient to use, robust, cost-effective, quick, and precise for the simultaneous measurement of Dapagliflozin propanediol monohydrate and Eplerenone in their synthetic mixture. The method was validated as per ICHQ2(R2) guidelines. Methanol was utilized as solvent for preparation of sample solution and the detection wavelength to determine DAPA and EPLE in developed fist order UV spectrophotometric method was 240.41 nm and 254 nm respectively. The linearity range for DAPA is 4-12 ?g/ml and EPLE is 10-30 ?g/ml in methanol. The regression coefficient was found to be 0.9988 and 0.9969 for DAPA and EPLE respectively. The LOD and LOQ for DAPA was identified to be 0.4693 and 1.4222 and that for EPLE was 1.314 and 3.983 respectively. Thus, this method provides suitable advantages like improved resolution of overlapping peaks, better selectivity, minimizes background interference. The developed method was successfully applied for the quantification of DAPA and EPLE from their synthetic mixture.

 Abstract

Amish Tripathi's Shiva Trilogy has emerged as a significant contribution to contemporary Indian fiction, reimagining mythological narratives through the lens of humanism and ethical leadership. This paper examines how the trilogy systematically privileges human agency, ethical reasoning, and moral autonomy over traditional constructs of divinity, fate, and predestination. Through close reading and engagement with leadership theory, this research explores how Tripathi crafts Shiva not as a predestined god but as a leader shaped by empathy, reason, and ethical deliberation. The analysis highlights the trilogy's challenge to divine right and explores its implications for ethical leadership in both literary and real-world contexts. The findings suggest that Tripathi's humanistic reinterpretation of myth offers valuable insights for leadership studies and the evolution of Indian literary traditions.

 Abstract

According to studies of international monetary data, the sum of money lost due to fraud in all transactions around the world keeps rising. In particular, the adoption of the Bank-as-a-Service model by financial institutions will place additional strain on payment processing infrastructure and exacerbate the already serious problem of payment fraud. Using automated machine training and Big Data analysis methods, this research aims to synthesis viable solutions for detection of fraud in electronic payment systems. Online Payment fraud has been given a lot of attention since it can result in significant economic losses and negative consequences for account holders. In order to construct a reliable model for identifying fraud, it is essential to employ efficient feature engineering. It is discovered, however, that the present feature engineering that relies on transaction frequency has flaws. Convenient as they may be, fraudsters are drawn to modern money transfer services to conduct scams in which unsuspecting victims are tricked into sending money to fake accounts. As a result of the limitations of conventional rule-based methods for detecting fraud, machine learning models have found widespread application. Most studies build features by extracting patterns using raw transaction records because learning directly from transaction data is challenging owing to its enormous dimensionality. Recency, frequency, financial, and anomaly detection are some of the common labels used to classify these characteristics in the existing research. Using real-world transaction data, features can be extracted and most relevant features can be selected to train the machine learning model for accurate fraud detection. The temporal properties of user transactions are shown using frequency-based feature engineering, however the characteristics of fraud and the differentiation of transaction behaviors are not taken into sufficient account. In this research a Multi Level Associated Weighted Feature Vector (ML-AWFV) Model using machine learning is proposed for accurate feature extraction and selection for further processing of online payment fraud detection. The proposed model when contrasted with the existing

This research examines how architecture students perceive and decode facade geometry at multiple scales. The exercise revealed how shifts in scale, fragmentation, and viewing distance generate diverse readings of the same elevation. By comparing these interpretations with the student's subsequent institutional facade designs, the study demonstrates how plural perceptions influence design thinking. The activity helps students understand complex elevations by making them see more clearly, recognize patterns, and find meaning in what they observe. This shows that studying a facade at different scales helps students understand it better. This method supports students in recognizing finer details, improving clarity in observation, and forming more meaningful interpretations of the architectural facade for their campus design

 Abstract

A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in a rural area of Ethiopia to assess the level of nutrition knowledge among mothers and to identify factors associated with adequate knowledge. Data were collected using a structured interviewer-administered questionnaire covering socio-demographic variables, nutrition knowledge, and access to health information. The findings revealed that a considerable proportion of mothers had inadequate nutrition knowledge. Higher educational status, better socioeconomic conditions, exposure to nutrition-related health information, and utilization of antenatal and postnatal care services were significantly associated with improved knowledge levels. Mothers who received nutrition counselling from healthcare providers demonstrated better understanding of nutritional requirements compared to those who did not. The study concluded that maternal nutrition knowledge in rural communities remains suboptimal and emphasized the need for structured nutrition education and counselling integrated into maternal and child health services to enhance maternal and child health outcomes.

 Abstract

The growing ethical, social, and cultural challenges in contemporary societies have renewed global interest in value education within higher education. In India, the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 emphasizes the integration of ethical, constitutional, humanistic, and cultural values as a central objective of higher education reform. This study critically examines the position and practice of value education in higher education institutions in Assam, a region characterized by cultural plurality and socio-historical complexity. Using a qualitative, policy-analytic approach, the paper analyzes NEP 2020 provisions alongside institutional practices and regional realities in Assam. The study identifies gaps between policy intent and implementation, particularly in curriculum design, pedagogical practices, faculty preparedness, and assessment mechanisms. It argues that while NEP 2020 provides a comprehensive and progressive framework, effective realization of value education in Assam requires contextual adaptation, institutional commitment, and pedagogical transformation. The paper contributes to the discourse on value-based higher education by offering region-specific insights and policy-oriented recommendations relevant to developing and multicultural contexts.

 Abstract

In modern education, the emphasis on skill acquisition and academic achievement often overshadows ethical and moral development. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 recognizes this challenge and promotes value-based, holistic education aimed at nurturing responsible, ethical, and socially aware citizens. In this framework, the teachings of Srimanta Shankardev, a 15th-16th century saint, philosopher, and social reformer from Assam, hold special significance. Shankardev's philosophy, particularly through the Eka Sharana Nama Dharma, emphasized moral conduct, social equality, compassion, and community cohesion. By employing literature, music, drama, and community institutions, he effectively promoted value-based education in a culturally rooted and inclusive manner. This paper explores Shankardev's educational philosophy and its relevance to NEP 2020. Using a descriptive and analytical approach with secondary sources, the study demonstrates that Shankardev's principles provide practical insights for implementing holistic and value-oriented education in contemporary India.
