Attendance monitoring is an essential administrative task in educational institutions for tracking student participation and academic engagement. Conventional attendance methods such as manual roll calls and signature-based systems are time-consuming, error-prone, and vulnerable to proxy attendance. This paper presents a face recognition-based automated attendance management system using computer vision and deep learning techniques. The proposed system captures real-time facial images through a camera and performs face detection and recognition using convolutional neural network-based models. Facial features are extracted and matched against a pre-trained student database, and attendance records are automatically updated in a centralized storage system. The system eliminates manual intervention and ensures secure, contactless attendance recording. Experimental evaluation was conducted in a controlled classroom environment using a dataset of enrolled students. Performance was measured using recognition accuracy, False Acceptance Rate (FAR), and False Rejection Rate (FRR). The results demonstrate that the proposed system achieves high recognition accuracy and significantly reduces attendance processing time compared to traditional methods. The system provides a reliable and scalable solution for intelligent attendance management in educational institutions. The system achieved a recognition accuracy of 96.2%, with a False Acceptance Rate of 1.8% and a False Rejection Rate of 2.0%.

With the rapid growth of digital communication platforms such as SMS, email, and social media, cyber threats like spam, phishing, and scam messages have become increasingly sophisticated and context-driven. Traditional detection systems mainly rely on keyword matching and predefined patterns, which often fail to identify the underlying intent behind malicious communications, leading to reduced detection accuracy. This paper proposes an Intent-Aware Artificial Intelligence approach for proactive threat detection in digital communications by focusing on understanding the sender's intent using Natural Language Processing (NLP), contextual analysis, and machine learning techniques. The system analyzes linguistic patterns, behavioral cues, and contextual semantics to detect manipulation strategies such as urgency, deception, and fraudulent intent before user interaction. Additionally, the proposed model supports adaptive learning to handle evolving threat patterns and can be deployed using edge Intelligence to ensure privacy preservation and real-time processing without heavy cloud dependency. This approach aims to enhance detection accuracy, reduce false positives, and provide a more intelligent, adaptive, and human-like security mechanism for modern communication systems.

The Web Based Voting Platform for Institute Election is a secure and centralized web application designed to automate and manage institutional election processes with accuracy, transparency, and controlled access. The system replaces traditional manual voting methods by providing a structured digital environment that ensures voter authentication, vote uniqueness, and administrative control. The platform consists of two independent interfaces: an administrator module and a student voting module. The administrator module enables authorized users to securely log in, register and manage candidate information, maintain election records, and monitor final voting results. It also supports effective management of both current and historical election data. The student voting module ensures secure participation by validating a unique student identification number against the institutional database. Upon Successful verification, an OTP-based authentication mechanism is used to authorize the voting process through the registered mobile number. The system strictly enforces a one-vote-per-student policy, preventing duplicate voting attempts and maintaining election integrity. Students are restricted from accessing vote counts or intermediate results to avoid bias and influence. This web-based platform enhances election reliability, minimizes human intervention, prevents unauthorized access, and provides a scalable and efficient solution suitable for institutional election management.

Online hotel reviews provide valuable insights into customer experiences; however, such reviews are often short and informal, making automated sentiment analysis challenging. Single classification models frequently struggle to capture sentiment accurately due to limited contextual information and lexical variability. To address this issue, this paper presents a comparative study of voting-based and stacking-based ensemble learning methods for sentiment analysis of hotel reviews. Reviews are preprocessed and decomposed into bigram phrases to analyze the sentimentsin hotel reviews. Multiple feature representations including TF-IDF, Word2Vec, and BERT embeddings are employed to capture lexical, semantic, and contextual information. In the voting ensemble, independent classifiers aggregate predictions using soft voting, while the stacking ensemble integrates base learner outputs through a meta-classifier. Experimental results demonstrate that stacking ensembles achieve more consistent performance on ambiguous hotel review phrases, whereas voting ensembles provide a computationally efficient and reliable baseline. The findings highlight the effectiveness of ensemble strategies for short-text sentiment analysis in hospitality review systems.

Green synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles has gained considerable attention due to its eco-friendly nature and reduced environmental impact. In the present review, Taguchi optimization methodology is discussed as an effective statistical tool for optimizing microwave-assisted green synthesis parameters of cobalt oxide (Co?O?) nanoparticles using plant leaf extract. Key variables such as precursor concentration, extract volume, microwave irradiation time, and annealing temperature were optimized using an L9 orthogonal array design. Structural characterization was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), confirming the formation of phase-pure cubic spinel Co?O? nanoparticles. Crystallite size was calculated using the Debye-Scherrer equation. The Taguchi approach significantly minimized experimental runs while maximizing crystallinity and structural uniformity. The optimized green microwave-assisted synthesis method provides an energy-efficient, scalable route for producing cobalt oxide nanoparticles for catalytic, electrochemical, and environmental applications.

Climate change has emerged as a critical global concern affecting various sectors, including tourism. The Thane district of Maharashtra, characterized by its diverse geography, coastal ecosystems, forested regions, and cultural heritage, is particularly vulnerable to climatic variations. This review examines the impact of climate change on tourism in Thane district by integrating geographical, socio-cultural, and environmental perspectives. Thane's proximity to the Arabian Sea, its position within the Konkan region, and the presence of rivers such as Ulhas and Vaitarna contribute to its tourism potential but also increase its vulnerability to flooding, rising temperatures, and extreme weather events [1][2]. Over the past decade, observable changes in rainfall patterns, increasing temperatures, and deteriorating air quality have influenced tourist inflow and destination sustainability. Tribal communities and local cultural traditions, including Tarpa dance and Warli art, form an integral part of tourism, yet face disruption due to ecological stress. This study employs qualitative and quantitative methods, including literature survey, field observations, and statistical analysis, to assess climate trends and their implications for tourism and employment. The findings indicate that climate change affects natural attractions, infrastructure, seasonal tourism, and livelihoods. Sustainable tourism planning, climate-resilient infrastructure, and community participation are essential to mitigate adverse impacts and promote eco-tourism. The study concludes that integrating environmental conservation with tourism development is crucial for the long-term sustainability of Thane district.

A novel series of halogen-substituted heterocyclic derivatives based on the 1,2,4-triazole scaffold was synthesized and evaluated for their biological potential. In the present investigation, chloro-, bromo-, and fluoro-substituted derivatives of 5-(4,7-dihydrothiazolo[5,4-c]pyridin-2-yl)-4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol were successfully prepared through an efficient synthetic protocol. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed using various spectroscopic techniques, including FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectrometry. The spectral data were found to be in good agreement with the proposed molecular structures. The newly synthesized derivatives were further screened for their biological activities against selected microbial strains to evaluate their antimicrobial potential. The results revealed that several halogen-substituted compounds exhibited significant inhibitory activity compared to the standard drugs. The presence of electron-withdrawing halogen substituents such as chloro, bromo, and fluoro on the aromatic ring was found to influence the biological activity of the synthesized molecules. These findings suggest that the incorporation of halogen atoms into the triazole-thiazolopyridine framework may enhance biological efficacy and could provide promising lead structures for the development of new bioactive heterocyclic compounds.
