 Abstract

Rapid urban growth and rising population density have led to increased security challenges in today's cities. Traditional fixed surveillance setups, like CCTV cameras, have limited coverage areas and often leave blind spots. They also rely heavily on existing infrastructure and can be slow in responding to incidents. This paper introduces a new mobile surveillance solution known as the Urban Security Surveillance Car. It uses advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), GPS tracking, and cloud computing to improve urban monitoring. The system includes real-time video recording, smart object detection, a central monitoring dashboard, and automatic alert functions. By combining mobility with smart data analysis, the Surveillance Car provides better coverage, faster response times, and easier integration into smart city systems. The proposed model shows better performance and flexibility compared to traditional fixed surveillance methods.

 Abstract

ABSTRACT: Women empowerment is a central concern of the 21st century. In India, it has gained considerable attention in recent years as it plays a crucial role in achieving inclusive and sustainable development. Women empowerment incorporates an environment wherein women can breathe without any fear of oppression, exploitation, or discrimination in a patriarchal or male-centric structure. In a developing country like India, achieving gender equality, social justice, human development, and sustainable growth is vital. Despite constitutional guarantees of equality and various government efforts, Indian women continue to face several issues. Women empowerment is still an illusion of reality. Various social evils related to women can be seen in daily life, like inequalities in employment and education, gender, caste, class, religion, and region. To eliminate these social evils, women's empowerment can be a crucial tool to enhance women's abilities. It can be very helpful in making strategic life choices. The main objectives of the study are to examine the current status of women's empowerment in India and to investigate the sociological factors that affect women's empowerment in India, with a particular focus on patriarchy, gender norms, caste, class, and institutional structures that shape women's access to resources and decision-making power. The study adopts a descriptive and analytical research design that is truly based upon secondary data sources. The findings of the study revealed that educational and health indicators are improved, but still gaps persist, especially among rural and marginalized women. Female labor force participation remains low that limits their economic empowerment. Patriarchal norms, unequal access to education and employment, and structural barriers continue to restrict women's substantive empowerment and decision-making power. The research study also discusses the role of family, community, government, and civil society in promoting women empowerment.

 Abstract

Social media posting has become an integral part of daily life among college students, influencing self-expression, social interaction, and online identity. While social media platforms provide opportunities for connection and visibility, there are growing concerns regarding the impact of frequent posting behaviour on students' mental health. The present study examines the impact of social media posting behaviour on the mental health of college students in Surat City, focusing on students enrolled in the Commerce and Management streams. Using a structured questionnaire and analysing 123 responses from colleges across Surat City using SPSS, the research examines four key factors influencing social media posting behaviour, including Social Approval, Social Comparison, Fear of Missing Out, and Habit or Addiction. The impact on mental health is assessed through four key indicators: anxiety, stress, depressive mood, and sleep and well-being. In the present study, Exploratory factor analysis identified two principal factors significantly affecting social media posting behaviour, Posting Habit and Comparison and Social Approval Seeking. Correlation and multiple regression techniques revealed statistically significant associations between social media posting behaviour and mental health outcomes. Results of the said study indicate that increased social media posting behaviour is associated with higher levels of psychological distress, including anxiety, stress, depressive mood, and sleep disturbance. The study highlights the need for greater awareness of responsible social media engagement among college students.

 Abstract

Workplace stigma surrounding mental illness continues to be a major barrier affecting employment opportunities and recovery outcomes for individuals living with mental health conditions. Despite growing awareness, negative attitudes, discrimination, and lack of support persist in organizational settings. The present study aims to examine the impact of workplace stigma on employment barriers and its subsequent effect on recovery among individuals experiencing mental illness. A mixed-method research design was adopted, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire assessing stigma, employment barriers, and recovery perceptions. The findings indicate a strong relationship between perceived workplace stigma and employment challenges. Furthermore, employment was found to play a crucial role in enhancing recovery, including psychological well-being, self-esteem, and social functioning. High levels of stigma were associated with reduced recovery outcomes. The study highlights the need for inclusive workplace policies, mental health awareness, and stigma reduction initiatives to improve employment opportunities and recovery trajectories.

 Abstract

Most commercial real estate (CRE) Digital Twin (DT) pilots fail to scale due to fragmented lifecycle data across BIM, building systems, IoT, and enterprise platforms. These disconnected systems lack shared asset identity and interoperability, limiting operational value. This paper introduces CREST (Commercial Real Estate Smart Twin), a seven-tier framework linking strategic intent to measurable outcomes across the CRE lifecycle. The framework integrates Strategic Canvas, Value Streams, Adoption Model, Reference Architecture, Deployment Playbook, Maturity Model, and ROI Matrix. Grounded in digital twin literature, industry architectures, and evidence from 80+ CRE deployments, CREST addresses key barriers including data fragmentation, reactive maintenance, ESG reporting complexity, and space utilization volatility. It embeds governance, data standards, and integration patterns to enable scalable implementation. Empirical results indicate improvements such as reduced project delays, enhanced tenant satisfaction, and lower operational costs. CREST contributes a practical, lifecycle-integrated blueprint for deploying digital twins at both building and portfolio scale.

 Abstract

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent sustained cardiac arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice and is associated with a significantly increased risk of ischemic stroke. Anticoagulant therapy is crucial for lowering the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), and because of their fixed dosage, predictable pharmacokinetics, and reduced dietary and medication interactions, Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs) are gradually taking the place of conventional vitamin K antagonists. Despite these benefits, real-world DOAC prescribing practices frequently deviate from professional recommendations because of things like patient characteristics, comorbidities, physician choice, and limitations in the healthcare system. To find practice gaps and improve patient outcomes, it is essential to comprehend these prescribing trends in the context of stroke patients who have AF. Furthermore, reducing adverse drug events depends on medication reconciliation, which makes sure that complete and correct prescription information is shared across care transitions. Although patient counselling has been acknowledged as a crucial tactic to improve drug comprehension and adherence, little is known about how well it works to improve medication reconciliation outcomes for stroke patients receiving DOAC therapy

 Abstract

Fast changes in how people connect through technology have reshaped daily interactions today. Because of apps and websites, talking across distances feels normal now. These tools help students learn, companies run, and friends stay close. Still, some misuse them - like using fake trust to harass others online. New ways to reach people often bring unexpected risks too. What happens when someone harasses another person using the internet often shows up on apps or sites where people chat or share things. Messages with sexual content appear unexpectedly, sometimes alongside images shared without permission. Stalking takes place across message threads that never seem to stop. Comments filled with sexual insults pop up in replies or posts. Threats of sexual harm arrive through private notes or public rants. Aiming to explore online sexual harassment through law and crime studies forms the core of this work. Looking at what drives those who offend comes before considering how website layouts may encourage harmful acts. Digital spaces shape behaviour in ways that quietly support abuse, a point often missed. Laws meant to handle internet crimes in India get reviewed here too, though they sometimes fall short. What rules exist now must face real patterns of misuse. Young people today find it easier than ever to reach smartphones and social media. Without strong checks, kids slip into digital areas meant for older users. Many websites fail to confirm user ages, leaving gaps that underage visitors quickly fill. These open doors lead straight to risky material and unwanted attention. Being online without guidance raises the chance of facing abuse. Loose rules mean less protection when they explore virtual worlds. One idea from the research points to tighter checks for user ages on social networks. Stopping images of naked bodies or sexual material before they go live is another step suggested. Platforms could face real consequences if harmful behavior spreads under their watch. Teaching people how to stay safer online appears high on the list of fixes. Looking into internet crimes might get more effective with better tools and training. Starting fresh, safety online grows when laws adapt, tools improve, while people learn. A mix of updated rules, better tech defenses, followed by informed users shapes calmer spaces. Protection clicks only if policy shifts happen alongside software changes, paired with everyday understanding. Without one piece, progress stalls - each part leans on the others. When law catches up, systems adjust, minds open, risk drops. A Legal and Criminological Look at Online Sexual Harassment and the Actions of Those Accused.
