Abstract: Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) serve as vital community health workers in India, bridging the gap between public health systems and rural populations. However, ASHA workers often experience a significant mental load due to excessive documentation, travel, health education duties, and performance-linked incentives. This feasibility study explores how Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based interventions can potentially reduce this mental burden. By analysing current workloads, technology access, and digital literacy among ASHAs in Karnataka, the study assesses the readiness for AI integration and outlines key AI tools--such as voice-enabled data entry, chatbots, health education platforms, and decision support systems--that can enhance productivity and well-being.

 Abstract

The integration of the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration has significantly reshaped India's arbitration framework, aligning it with global standards and enhancing its effectiveness as a dispute resolution mechanism. Prior to the enactment of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, India's arbitration landscape was governed by colonial-era statutes that often led to judicial overreach and inefficiencies. The 1996 Act, incorporating the UNCITRAL Model Law, marked a pivotal shift towards a more streamlined and internationally recognized arbitration system. This alignment has not only improved procedural efficiency but has also bolstered India's position as a favourable venue for international commercial arbitration However, the Arbitration and Conciliation (Amendment) Act of 2021 introduced provisions that have raised concerns. Notably, it allows courts to grant an unconditional stay on the enforcement of arbitral awards if fraud or corruption is suspected. This change has been criticized for potentially creating new hurdles in enforcing awards and for reintroducing judicial intervention, which could undermine the effectiveness of arbitration as a dispute resolution mechanism. This paper analyses these developments, aiming to understand their impact on India's arbitration framework and to assess the alignment of domestic practices with international arbitration trends.

 Abstract

The era of relying solely on local hard drives for data storage and retrieval has become a thing of the past. Thanks to the swift progress in technology and the global rise of the Internet, computing resources are now more affordable, efficient, and easily available to everyone. It is now easy to experience the convenience of having data storage in the cloud. Thanks to technological advancements alongside the success of the Internet, computers are easily available, less expensive, and more powerful than before. This gave rise to a new age of computing dubbed as "Cloud Computing". In contrast to conventional methods, cloud computing provides cost-effective and flexible services that can easily fulfill complex scientific tasks. To unlock its full power, however, some obstacles need to be tackled like optimizing the scheduling of workflows. Research analyzing this particular issue is abundant, but only a few give attention to cloud specific features such as elasticity and heterogeneity. The available techniques tend not to achieve optimal efficiency in these scenarios. To address this, our study focuses on creating efficient scheduling policies for scientific workflows hosted in an IaaS cloud. In doing so, we design a hybrid algorithm that enhances ACO and PSO to achieve local and global objectives simultaneously.

 Abstract

Historically the word handicrafts meant products made mostly by hand and the market for such goods was limited to small, often underdeveloped, local areas. With new technologies and machines, however, that same market expanded and began to draw global attention. In India the revival of handicrafts soon became obvious; plentiful raw materials and low-cost labour underpinned much of the success. Rajasthan, famed for its culture and heritage, stood out by offering a wider range of items than most other states. Support from both central and state governments has also played a key role in nurturing this growth.

 Abstract

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a conserved family of molecular chaperones that maintain protein homeostasis under physiological and stress conditions. In the oral environment, HSPs such as HSP27, HSP60, HSP70, and HSP90 are constitutively expressed in mucosa, salivary glands, and dental pulp, and their expression is upregulated by thermal, oxidative, or microbial stress. Beyond their canonical roles in protein folding and degradation, HSPs act as danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) to modulate innate and adaptive immunity, participate in wound healing, and preserve tissue integrity. In oral pathology, aberrant HSP expression has been implicated in infections (e.g., Candida, Streptococcus), inflammatory conditions (periodontitis, peri-implantitis, pulpitis), and odontogenic lesions (keratocysts, ameloblastomas). In potentially malignant disorders such as leukoplakia and lichen planus, elevated HSP27 and HSP70 levels correlate with dysplastic severity, while in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), overexpression of HSP27, HSP70, and HSP90 promotes tumor cell survival, invasion, and chemoresistance. These findings underscore the diagnostic and prognostic potential of HSPs as biomarkers. Moreover, pharmacologic modulation of HSP activity--via HSP90 inhibitors (e.g., geldanamycin analogs), HSP70 ATPase blockers, or HSF-1 antagonists--offers novel therapeutic avenues. However, monotherapy may induce compensatory chaperone upregulation; thus, combination strategies targeting multiple HSPs or integrating conventional therapies may be required. Continued investigation into HSP localization, post-translational regulation, and interplay with oral microenvironmental cues will advance our understanding and enable translation into clinical practice.

 Abstract

Swami Vivekananda's life mission was to empower individuals through "Man-making education", which to him meant nurturing the complete development of a person - mind, body, and spirit. He believed education should go beyond just learning facts and passing exams, and instead help bring out the hidden potential within each learner. For Vivekananda, intellectual growth and spiritual wisdom were intertwined, and he advocated for a balance between the two. At the core of his philosophy was the beautiful synthesis of science and spirituality, which he saw as complementary, not contradictory, allowing individuals to live a more holistic, fulfilling, and purposeful life. This paper delves into the very aspect of Vivekananda's idea or the vision of Education posing an integrated rather than contradictory approach between Rationality and Spirituality. It explores how his philosophy of education seamlessly blends the coexistence of science and spirituality by addressing four fundamental questions: 'Who, Why, Where, and When.' Through an analysis of his teachings based on these principles, we will uncover how science and spirituality are not opposing forces but rather complementary elements that, together, shape individuals capable of meaningfully contributing to both society and their own personal growth.

 Abstract

In industrialized nations, migration has added to the richness of racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity. People who migrate face a variety of stressors that can affect their mental health, such as adjusting to a new society, changing their identity and self-concept, and losing social support networks, religious traditions, and cultural norms. It is true that certain immigrant groups have higher incidence of mental illness. To effectively meet the needs of this growing and vulnerable population, mental health professionals must be sensitive to the particular pressures and cultural elements that impact immigrants and refugees. Reviewing the ideas of migration, cultural loss, and cultural identity, this essay will investigate how these three facets of a migrant's experience and cultural congruity are related to one another. The elevated incidence of mental illness in impacted migrant groups are thought to be mostly caused by the intricate interactions between biological, psychological, and social factors, as well as the migration process, cultural grief, cultural identity, and cultural congruity.

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a rare and severe genetic disorder that primarily affects young boys, leading to progressive muscle weakness and disability. This article provides a comprehensive overview of DMD, including its etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, treatment options, ongoing research efforts, and potential future therapies. By exploring the underlying genetic mutation, pathophysiology, and impact on affected individuals and their families, this article aims to shed light on the challenges faced by patients with DMD and the strides made in understanding and managing this debilitating condition. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a rare and debilitating genetic disorder that primarily affects young boys, causing progressive muscle weakness and loss of mobility. This paper provides an in-depth examination of the pathophysiology, genetic basis, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, and current therapeutic strategies for DMD. The disorder arises from mutations in the dystrophin gene, leading to the absence of this essential protein in muscle cells. As a result, muscle fibers are susceptible to damage and degeneration, ultimately leading to severe muscle wasting. Early diagnosis through genetic testing and clinical evaluation is crucial for timely intervention, as the natural course of the disease is characterized by loss of ambulation and life-threatening complications. Various therapeutic approaches, such as corticosteroids, physical therapy, and emerging gene-based therapies, are discussed in detail. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of DMD and highlight the ongoing research efforts to improve the quality of life for affected individuals.

 Abstract

Large amounts of e-waste produced by electrical and electronic gadgets are found all over the world nowadays and have turned into a global ecological concern. Because certain components of various electronic devices include compounds that are hazardous due to their density and conditions, e-waste is considered harmful. These materials' hazardous content poses a risk to both the environment and human health. Its deadly compounds combined with soil, water, and air have a dangerous direct or indirect influence on all biodiversity. The study's foundation is a survey of the literature on the effects of electronic waste on the environment and human health. It was determined that there was a massive production of e-waste and that there were insufficient and inappropriate measures in place to handle it. Additionally, it was shown that e-waste had a significant negative influence on both the environment and human health.

 Abstract

The Tibetan Crisis, rooted in China's 1950 annexation of Tibet and the subsequent 1959 uprising, has significantly shaped Sino-Indian relations, with the Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, playing a pivotal role as both a spiritual and political figure. Fleeing to India in 1959 after the failed Lhasa uprising, the Dalai Lama established the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) in Dharamsala, creating a government-in-exile that has been a persistent irritant in Sino-Indian diplomacy. This abstract explores the Dalai Lama's evolving role, from leading Tibet's resistance to advocating the Middle Way Approach for autonomy within China, and its implications for Sino-Indian relations. Initially, India's hosting of the Dalai Lama and Tibetan refugees strained ties with China, contributing to tensions culminating in the 1962 Sino-Indian War. China's suspicion of Indian support for Tibetan activities, despite India's official stance limiting the Dalai Lama to religious and cultural roles, continues to fuel mistrust. The Dalai Lama's international advocacy, including his 1987 Five-Point Peace Plan and global travels, has amplified Tibet's cause, aligning it with Western support and complicating India's balancing act between supporting Tibetan exiles and managing relations with China. This research offers a structured historical and theoretical analysis of India-China relations, focusing on the Tibet issue and the Dalai Lama's influence from 1947 to the present. It employs international relations theories to contextualize the conflict and proposes pathways for peaceful resolution. The findings aim to contribute to understanding the geopolitical complexities of the Tibetan crisis and its impact on Sino-Indian relations, offering insights for future diplomatic strategies.

Agriculture is a rapidly growing sector worldwide due to the increasing population. One of the main challenges in agriculture is improving farming efficiency and quality without constant physical monitoring to meet the rising food demand. Additionally, climate conditions pose significant challenges to the agricultural industry. The aim of this research paper is to propose a smart farming model based on the Internet of Things (IoT) using clustering techniques to address adverse conditions. In this model, various sensors such as soil moisture, temperature, rain detection, and humidity, water level sensors are utilized for different purposes. The collected data will be stored in the cloud and processed automatically. Smart agriculture can be adopted through crop control, data collection, and automated analysis. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how IoT can be implemented in monitoring humidity, soil conditions, temperature, water supply levels, and climate conditions. The proposed IoT-based Smart Farming System integrates different sensors and a Wi-Fi module to produce live data feeds that can be accessed online. Agriculture is very important for the growth of any country. However, even in today's technology-driven world, most farmers still use old-fashioned, manual methods of farming. To reduce the need for too much physical work and constant checking, this study introduces an automatic farming system using the Internet of Things (IoT).This system uses sensors and a small computer (like a Raspberry Pi) to monitor and control basic farming tasks such as: Watering plants, Turning lights on or off in greenhouses, Alerting farmers about important issues. The system also sends important information--like water levels, temperature, and humidity--to a central server and directly to farmers. This helps farmers keep track of their farms more easily and can also be useful for further research in agriculture. If many farms use this system, the collected data can help improve farming methods for everyone.
