 Abstract

Growth in online education has made knowledge more widely available, but with that comes a navigation and summarizing challenge. This research hence proposes a system implementing web data extraction blended with generative AI for the automated extraction and summarization of educational material from institutional websites. Using BeautifulSoup for text extraction and the Gemini AI API for abstractive summarization, given a target URL, the system returns a very brief summary of the web content in an educational context. It has a modular architecture consisting of three components: data extraction, summarization, and a user interface implemented in Flask. Performance evaluation on 100 educational web pages shows steady extraction with an F1-score of 0.80 and a summarization quality that outperforms general-purpose tools. A user study with 150 participants reports a high satisfaction rate, thereby improving accessibility for students, educators, and researchers through a scalable and inclusive solution.

 Abstract

Abstract The Smartphone is the trend that has experienced rampant expansion; its influences on transforming lifestyles of students across the globe have been tremendous. This has led to the initiation of academic performance and mental issues, whereas the usage of such devices has encouraged communication and simplified information attainment. Many researchers note that overuse of Smartphones among the students is occurring ever more widely and commonly known as nomophobia, the fear of being without a mobile phone. It has been demonstrated that protracted exposure to electronic gadgets and cell phone addiction are related to short attention capacity, low scholastic performance and inefficient thinking. High smartphone use is also associated with stress, anxiety, depression, sleeping disorders, and social isolation among the school-going children at the mental level. The propositions on the mentioned effects are mostly attributed to adolescents and the young adults, who are more vulnerable to overexposure since they are in the stages of development. The evidence emphasises the relevance of the more balanced use of Smartphone and the application of the strategy of digital wellness in the educational institutions. Digital detox plans (involving consciousness and counselling services) have been found to hold promise. Besides, the policy-level solutions like the ban on the use of smartphones during school hours and promotion of healthy digital social patterns should be provided in order to mitigate these adverse effects. Adoption of a multi-stakeholder model that involves teachers, parents, and policymakers is necessary in achieving a healthier student-technology relationship

 Abstract

Academic performance in higher education is shaped by a complex mix of academic and demographic factors. This study explores the underlying dimensions influencing student performance among undergraduate engineering students in South India through structured statistical techniques. A sample of 2,000 students was analyzed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Factor Analysis to reduce dimensionality and uncover latent variables. The Bartlett's Test of Sphericity and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure confirmed the data's suitability for these methods. The analysis identified a small number of components--primarily related to academic engagement and past performance--that explain a significant proportion of the variance in student outcomes. Visual tools such as scree plots, biplots, and parallel analysis were used to aid interpretation and to guide the number of factors retained. The results offer valuable insights for academic institutions aiming to improve student support services and educational planning through evidence-based interventions.

Abstract Background of the study: The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is a vital preventive measure against cervical and other HPV-related cancers. Despite its proven efficacy, global uptake remains suboptimal due to various social, cultural, and systemic barriers. Objectives: This meta-analysis aims to synthesize global literature to explore public perceptions and identify key barriers influencing HPV vaccine uptake. Methods: A systematic search was conducted across databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar for studies published between 2010 and 2024. Inclusion criteria were observational or interventional studies reporting on public perception, attitudes, and barriers to HPV vaccination. Data were extracted and analysed using random-effects modelling and thematic analysis for qualitative synthesis. Results: Thirty-five studies from 23 countries were included, encompassing over 85,000 participants. Positive perception and vaccine acceptance were highest in high-income countries with robust school-based immunization programs. Key barriers included lack of knowledge (72%), fear of side effects (61%), cost (48%), religious or cultural objections (36%), and misconceptions linking the vaccine to sexual activity (54%). Healthcare provider recommendation strongly influenced uptake. Conclusion: Improving awareness, addressing cultural sensitivities, and strengthening healthcare provider communication are crucial to enhancing global HPV vaccine uptake. Multi-level interventions are necessary to overcome these persistent barriers.

 Abstract

The paper explores the potential of postcolonial art as a tool for healing and transformation in a fractured world through a critical reading of Anuradha Roy's The Earthspinner. Set against a backdrop of religious extremism, cultural disintegration, and personal alienation, the novel traces the life of Elango, a potter whose creative practice becomes both a form of resistance and a medium of reconciliation. By examining the interplay between tradition and modernity, identity and exile, Roy presents art not merely as aesthetic expression, but as a radical act of defiance against oppressive socio-political structures. This study argues that Elango's sculptures and pottery function as symbolic narratives that challenge dominant cultural ideologies, offering a space where marginalized voices can be heard and remembered. The novel also foregrounds the politics of belonging and the fractures that exist within communal identities, particularly in postcolonial societies marked by religious and caste-based violence. Elango's tragic trajectory and his bond with a Muslim woman challenge conventional binaries, illustrating how artistic creation can forge connections across cultural and ideological divides. Through a postcolonial lens, the paper analyzes how Roy deconstructs rigid identities and reimagines resistance through creativity. In doing so, The Earthspinner reaffirms the transformative power of art to not only reflect a broken world, but to also envision its healing. The paper concludes that postcolonial literature and art offer vital pathways for rethinking identity, agency, and resistance in an increasingly polarized global context.

 Abstract

Stress is not a new word. Our ancestors too were not free from stress. They experienced it due to the unpredicted natural phenomenon, and that is why it was regarded as 'Age Of Uncertainty'. Whereas our stress in the present world is mainly due to overdemands and expectations. Hence it is considered the 'Age Of Anxiety'. With the development of psychology the terms 'Occupational Stress' got importance and researchers and psychologists worked on it. They have listed a lot of causes for it and have given a lot of suggestions to minimize it. Occupational Stress is the negative psychological and physical effects an employee experiences due to the responsibilities, environment, or other pressures of the work place. Here we are focussing on Occupational Stress among working women in relation to their personality patterns. In this study Occupational Stress Index (OSI) constructed and standardised by Srivastava and Singh to measure the occupational stress and Dhar and Jain's Type A/B Behavioural Pattern Scale (ABBPS) to know the personality patterns.

 Abstract

Tragedy is one of the most popular forms of drama. The process of showcasing human vulnerability and emotional turmoil appeals to the audiences' sensitivity, accounting for the genre's popularity. It has overcome the tests of time by continuously evolving its subjects, characters, environment, as well as the challenges that it portrays. The present paper traces this multifaceted journey of tragedy with its ancient Greek origins to the diverse dynamics of the modern world, from power struggles, murder conspiracies, to existential crisis and emotional vulnerability. The research aims to analyze major shifts perceived in its form, the broader approach in the themes, and the progression in character palette. It illuminates the enduring power of this dramatic style to create a panorama of suffering and loss, to reflect on the human understanding of these emotions and shape them in a manner to be perceived as epitome of emotionality across millennia.

Nachni here symbolizes a dancer as well as dance. The Nachni dancer mostly with her male companion Rasik and the musician play the Nachni nach. Nachni Nach is very popular in Purulia and the border areas of West Bengal. Nachni dance is a part of the special culture of Purulia and the adjoining regions like Jharkhand. This dance is performed with the addition of dhamsa, madal, tabla, and harmonium. There is a touch of obscenity in the word Nachni. None of them looks good in society; they are treated as prostitutes. Nachni has a special vital role in the cultural life of Purulia. Those who serve their bodies in front of the audience and dance to song rhythms create an atmosphere of entertainment. To know the Nachnis' various forms, dress, and musical instruments used, but it was changed over time, so this paper tries to unveil these things. The present study is based on the qualitative method, where Traditional anthropological tools were employed to collect the primary and secondary data.

This study presents a comprehensive listing of crop diseases and their associated pathogens observed in the Taranagar region, located in the Churu district of Rajasthan, India. Agriculture in this semi-arid area is vital to the local economy, yet crop productivity is frequently affected by a range of plant diseases. The survey, conducted over multiple cropping seasons, documented common diseases affecting major crops such as wheat, mustard, gram, bajra, and guar. Each disease was identified based on field symptoms and laboratory confirmation of causative pathogens. The results indicate the prevalence of fungal pathogens such as Puccinia striiformis (causing yellow rust in wheat), Alternaria brassicae (affecting mustard), and Fusarium oxysporum (causing wilt in gram). Bacterial and viral diseases were also noted, including bacterial blight in guar and yellow vein mosaic virus in mungbean. The findings serve as a valuable resource for farmers, agricultural officers, and researchers to develop targeted disease management strategies and enhance crop health in the region.

 Abstract

This paper digs into a very specific form of writing: the Champ? K?byas, a poetic genre where each composition revolves around a specific letter (in this case, encompassing all 34 consonants of the Odia language). The focal point of each song lies in the meticulous and repetitive usage of a particular chosen letter, as the poet attempts to saturate the verses with the presence of that particular letter. Through a detailed analysis, this paper provides insights into the frequency and patterns of utilisation for each consonant across different songs of the Ki?orachandr?nanda Champ? by Kabis?rj?ya Ba?adeba Ratha, one of the most prolific and important Odia writers. By quantifying the instances of each letter's usage, the study sheds light on the linguistic nuances and stylistic variations employed by poets in crafting these lyrical works like consonance, assonance and alliterations that enrich the spoken quality of the text. This analysis will also help in understanding the nuances of the Odia language, contributing to a deeper appreciation of its linguistic richness and Kabis?rj?ya's literary prowess.
