 Abstract

The study's goal is to investigate how college students' academic achievement, stress levels, and sleep quality relate to one another. 120 college students, ages 18 to 25, made up the sample. Convenience sampling, a sort of non-probability sampling approach, was used in this study to choose samples. The sample was chosen based on accessibility. Three instruments were used in the study: the Academic Performance Scale (APS), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Using SPSS, data analysis was carried out, Pearson correlation coefficient calculations. The purpose of the current study was to look at the connections between college-bound kids' stress levels, academic achievement, and sleep quality. The study discovered a strong positive link between academic performance and sleep quality, indicating that college-bound students' academic performance rises with increased sleep quality. Furthermore, a strong negative link was found between stress level and sleep quality, indicating that a higher stress level is associated with a lower quality of sleep. In particular, the study discovered a substantial correlation between stress levels and the quality of sleep. These results are consistent with other studies that discovered a relationship between stress levels, academic achievement, and sleep quality. This study emphasises the potential negative impacts of high levels of stress on sleep quality as well as the positive effects of sleep quality on academic performance.

 Abstract

It is becoming more widely acknowledged that spirituality and decision-making processes interact and have an impact on mental health. This abstract investigates how spirituality affects mental health and decision-making. A moral compass and increased meaning in decisions are two ways that spirituality, which is frequently associated with values, beliefs, and purpose, can direct decision-making. People who have a solid spiritual foundation typically have higher levels of resilience, coping skills, and psychological health in general. Additionally, spirituality cultivates a sense of interconnectedness that may impact decisions made regarding prosocial and altruistic actions. On the other hand, tension and cognitive dissonance can result from decisions that contradict spiritual beliefs. Developing holistic approaches to personal development and psychological interventions requires an understanding of the subtleties of spirituality's influence on mental health and decision-making.

- In India hospital bio medical waste (BMW) causing major problem. This research investigates the impact of incorporating biomedical waste (BMW) into concrete, aiming to evaluate its influence on mechanical and durability properties. Biomedical waste, posing significant environmental challenges, necessitates innovative waste management solutions. By integrating BMW into concrete, this study seeks to address both waste disposal issues and promote sustainable construction practices. The experimental approach involves varying proportions of BMW in concrete mixtures, assessing effects on parameters like compressive, flexural strength, permeability, and resistance to aggressive environments. Results will be compared with conventional concrete to ascertain the feasibility and potential benefits of BMW utilization in concrete production. This research contributes to environmental sustainability and civil engineering by offering insights into alternative waste management strategies and potential enhancements to concrete performance. The ultimate goal is to encourage the adoption of sustainable practices in the construction industry while tackling the complexities of biomedical waste disposal.

In an era dominated by visual information, the need for robust and efficient face detection systems has become increasingly paramount. Faces are not only the gateway to human identity but also pivotal in various applications, including security, surveillance, and human-computer interaction. This paper begins with an insightful analysis of the historical perspective, tracing the evolution from classical methods to the contemporary deep learning paradigms. We delve into the technical intricacies of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and their pivotal role in achieving remarkable accuracy and speed. Additionally, we explore the impact of datasets, data augmentation, and transfer learning in enhancing detection performance. Furthermore, this paper investigates the ethical considerations surrounding face detection, focusing on privacy concerns, bias mitigation, and responsible AI deployment. The fusion of cutting-edge technologies with ethical awareness are imperative in crafting equitable and secure systems.

 Abstract

The concept of a Uniform Civil Code has been discussed in our nation since independence. While some advocate for its implementation, arguing that it would unify the population and eliminate discriminatory personal practices, the issue is multifaceted. Implementing such a code could potentially suppress diversity and enforce what may seem like 'progressive' ideas onto a population perceived as 'backward.' When it comes to matters of religion, legal imposition often fails if the desire for change does not arise from within the community. Trying to rationalize personal faith is challenging. However, this does not justify hiding behind claims of diversity and religious freedom to justify outrageous customs. It is essential for both the courts and the government to intervene to safeguard fundamental rights in such situations. Nevertheless, in areas where personal beliefs are deeply ingrained, court rulings might not effectively alter perceptions. In our nation, many people strongly identify with their religion, and personal law plays a significant role in their religious identity. This vulnerability makes people highly prone to disruptions. I will endeavour to assess the feasibility of implementing a Uniform Civil Code in India and explore its potential repercussions. This assessment will be based on considerations of practicality and morality. Additionally, I will examine how individuals respond when there are attempts to alter deeply held beliefs by referencing the case of the Sabarimala temple entry. Can the Supreme Court dictate how religions should manage their affairs? If so, under what circumstances? These inquiries, along with others, will be addressed by referencing case studies, Supreme Court judgments, and scholarly opinions.

ABSTRACT The Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956 has criminalised commercial prostitution in India but this law does not talk about criminalising voluntary, paid and consensual sex work. In modern times, due to the activeness of various NGOs, due to more focus on the rights of women and due to various progressive judgements of higher courts, women have been given freedom to choose their profession. In this regard, the concerned authorities have been asked to not take any legal actions on the women who are consensually involved in the profession of sex work. In the light of various ambiguities in the modern and traditional societies and due to the changing mindsets of people, it becomes necessary to analyse the legal status of the prostitution as a profession in India and it has to be found out what steps should be taken to secure the rights of sex workers and to provide them an opportunity of rehabilitation. In this paper, it has been examined whether the act of prostitution is legalised in India or not. The legal status of paid and consensual sex work is analysed. Doctrinal method of research has been followed. Indian laws and judgements of courts have been analysed. The shortcomings and loopholes in the existing legal system have been detected. It has checked how legalisation of paid and consensual sex works will solve various existing and ongoing dilemmas in the perception of people regarding sex work as profession and how legalisation will protect people involved in paid and consensual sex work.
