 Abstract

The exponential rise in urbanization and vehicle ownership has resulted in a substantial increase in the demand for parking spaces in metropolitan cities. However, this surge has not been matched by corresponding growth in parking infrastructure, leading to severe challenges such as traffic congestion, time wastage, increased fuel consumption, and elevated pollution levels. Studies indicate that a significant percentage of inner-city traffic is caused by drivers circling in search of available parking spaces. This not only creates inefficiencies in urban mobility but also contributes to driver frustration, missed appointments, and decreased productivity. To address these persistent urban challenges, a smart and efficient parking space management system (psms) is essential. This paper proposes a comprehensive Parking Space Management System based on the integration of emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, embedded systems, and mobile application development. The goal of the proposed system is to optimize parking space usage, reduce traffic congestion, and provide real-time information to drivers about available parking spaces. The system is designed to be user-friendly, scalable, and adaptable to various environments such as shopping malls, office complexes, hospitals, universities, and public parking lots. At the core of the system is an IoT-based architecture that employs a network of sensors, microcontrollers, and wireless communication protocols to monitor and transmit real-time data about parking space occupancy. Ultrasonic or infrared sensors are placed in each parking slot to detect the presence or absence of a vehicle. These sensors are connected to a central processing unit, typically based on low-cost microcontrollers such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi, which aggregates data and transmits it to a cloud-based server. This centralized data repository processes incoming data and updates the status of each parking slot in real-time.

 Abstract

ABSTRACT Background:Shukra Dhatu, the seventh tissue (dhatu) in Ayurvedic physiology, represents the most refined reproductive essence crucial for fertility and vitality. Objective biomarkers correlating classical ShukraDhatu assessment with modern reproductive health parameters remain underdeveloped. Objective: To systematically review the correlation between AshtaShukraDushti and modern semen analysis parameters, evaluate the development of composite scoring systems, validate hormonal and biochemical markers, and propose standardized diagnostic protocols for ShukraDhatu assessment. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines, incorporating classical textual analysis with modern research findings. Databases searched included PubMed, Scopus, and Ayurvedic literature repositories from 2013-2025. Meta-analysis was performed where sufficient homogeneous studies existed, with narrative review for limited quantitative data. Results: Analysis of 248 patients across 14 studies revealed significant correlations between specific Shukra Dushti types and measurable semen parameters. Vataja Shukra Dushti correlated with oligozoospermia (r=0.72, p<0.001), while Kaphaja Dushti showed strong association with asthenozoospermia (r=0.68, p<0.01). Composite scoring systems integrating classical assessment with modern parameters demonstrated improved diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity 87%, specificity 82%) compared to conventional methods alone. Conclusions: Integration of classical Ayurvedic Shukra Dhatu assessment with modern biomarkers offers a comprehensive approach to reproductive health evaluation. Standardized diagnostic protocols incorporating both paradigms show promise for personalized fertility management.

 Abstract

The paper presents a critical analysis of how the Feminist re-telling of Indian mythologies by Kavita Kane reconfigured the marginalised women, namely, Uruvi, Urmila, Menaka, Surpanakha, and Ahalya, in a manner that allowed the latter to re-negotiate the sources of identity and power in the patriarchal formations. It attempts to highlight how the discourses of feminism in India are challenged by the narratives produced by Kane, and to expand feminist literary debates in India. A thematic and textual, as well as a qualitative analysis, was used. Karna Wife: The Outcast Queen, Sita Wife: The Sister of Karna, Lanka Wife: Princess of Lanka, Menaka Wife: The Choice of Awakening, and Ahalya Wife: The Awakening are 5 of the books by Kane that were chosen intentionally and used as main texts. The two frames of analysis were close reading and feminist criticism, respectively, and academic articles and critical reviews, respectively, helped in justifying close reading. Agency, resistance, silence, autonomy, and intersectionality of gender, caste, and morality were coded and analyzed as themes. The discussion shows that Kane heroines cross or bend down the traditional archetypes associated with submissive female or demonised women by exercising agency through silence, intelligence, emotional resiliency, and political power. Rather than strengthening binary ideas of what are perceived as ideal and fallen women, Kane remakes them as non-stereotyped, morally ambiguous individuals who challenge the standards that the patriarchal system should maintain, but must operate within the framework of structural pressures. The mythological center upon which she migrated ceases to be the cult of men, and rather the multiple-dimensional human events where the voices, feelings, and ethical concerns of women become central. The study contributes to theory in the sense that it explicitly expands feminist literary treatment, to mythological re-telling, to demonstrate that myth can be turned into a living story space, within which gender can be renegotiated. In the performance as it actually is, it is a performance structure or a form of performance enactment by academic practitioners and students in which canonical works can be revisited in these non-canonical forms. It is a policy issue because it says that good-better-best policies must be put into something in order to modify feminist rewrites of mythology in school and in cultural production in order to render all this more gender-conscious and empowering in its imagery.

 Abstract

A world where carbon capture, usage and storage effectively ends climate change, a package of technologies being assembled to capture CO2 emissions before they become air pollution (and waste), convert it to something useful, or safely store it underground. This isn't some far-fetched dream. Whether it is the cleaning of fuels before burning them, the cleaning of emissions after they exit the smokestack, or burning the fuel with pure oxygen so the CO2 is much easier to collect, we are getting smarter about CO2 capture because new materials and technologies are being explored. Then once we've captured that CO2, there are many applications, from aiding in the extraction of heavier oil, new compounds, and even mineralizing it into rocks.For the CO2 we do not use right away, deep geological storage can provide a secure long-term home. In sectors where a high carbon intensity is important, such as cement, steel and energy sectors, CCUS is already having a demonstrable effect. In conjunction with emergent, cutting-edge AI and machine learning capabilities, CCUS is already innovating and further streamlining these processes, while still keeping the supply chain safe and efficient. In order for CCUS to take a prominent role and be the backbone of our climate strategy, it will need synergistic policies, smart economic incentives, and stable regulatory landscapes. There will be socio-economic, socio-political and socio-infrastructural challenges to overcome; however, considering the nature of the environment, the combined systemic development of CCUS and renewable energy is an enormous opportunity to fulfill targets toward net-zero emissions and to ensure a sustainable future.

 Abstract

The course of contemporary pharmaceutical innovation has been influenced by blockbuster drugs, which are generally understood as medications with yearly sales of more than $1 billion. In 2024 alone, the top 25 drugs generated over USD 143 billion, accounting for nearly 13% of global pharmaceutical revenues. In addition to offering revolutionary treatments for autoimmune, metabolic, and cancer conditions, they also act as financial backbones for ongoing research and development (R&D). However, their success raises concerns about healthcare equity, affordability, and the disregard for less lucrative therapeutic areas. The pharmaceutical industry is moving toward more specialized but no less profitable products like biologics, orphan drugs, and advanced targeted therapies as patents expire and personalized medicine changes treatment paradigms. Looking ahead, this review also highlights emerging candidates like AWIQLI and CagriSema, which are expected to reshape the 2025 market and beyond. To emphasize the need for a more balanced framework, this paper examines the evolution of the blockbuster model, its advantages and limitations, and its implications for future therapeutic and commercial landscapes.

ABSTRACT: Organizational sustainability has changed from being a side issue to a top strategic objective, necessitating proactive attention to social, economic, and environmental factors. When strategically aligned, human resource (HR) strategies are essential to integrating sustainability into company operations and workplace culture. With a focus on the triple bottom line of profit, planet, and people, this study investigates how Strategic Human Resource Practices (SHRPs) might improve workplace sustainability. This study offers a paradigm that connects green HRM practices--like sustainable hiring, training, performance management, and employee engagement--to sustainability results by drawing on the Resource-Based View (RBV) and Stakeholder Theory. Data will be gathered from HR experts and workers in the manufacturing and service sectors using an empirical, quantitative methodology. SEM, or structural equation modeling, will be used to examine the connections between workplace sustainability and SHRPs. Results should support the strong positive impact of SHRPs on sustainability outcomes, with organizational culture acting as a moderator. By providing insights into how HRM strategies might support resilient, competitive, and sustainable businesses in the context of Industry 4.0, this study advances both theory and practice.

Teachers are some of the most influential people in our society. By having fiscal knowledge and managing particular finances duly, they can become a part of the model for their scholars and help them to develop as fiscally and socially responsible citizens. Unfortunately, numerous teachers do not know how to manage their finances. There's a belief that teachers of specialized education do not have sufficient fiscal knowledge in situations. In this connection, an attempt is made to find out the situations of knowledge about fiscal knowledge, in particular fiscal planning, among the school education teachers. This study is conducted as a sample study in a historically reputed quarter, i.e., Karur city of Tamil Nadu State, with the help of a structured schedule. The study set up that teachers are moderately financially literate and fully included in terms of access but unevenly included in terms of usage of advanced products. Financial literacy emerges as the strongest determinant of financial inclusion, with higher literacy levels enabling teachers to move beyond basic banking into savings, insurance, and investments. The results suggest that improving financial literacy among school teachers could significantly strengthen their financial planning practices, contributing to both personal and professional well-being.

This study presents a comprehensive investigation into geopolymer concrete (GPC), an innovative and sustainable alternative to conventional Portland cement concrete. Driven by the need to reduce carbon emissions and utilize industrial by-products, geopolymer concrete offers a promising solution by employing aluminosilicate-rich materials such as fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), and metakaolin, activated with alkaline solutions. This research critically reviews the material composition, chemical reactions, mechanical properties, durability, and environmental benefits of geopolymer concrete in comparison to traditional concrete. Experimental results and literature findings highlight GPC's superior resistance to chemical attack, high early strength, and excellent thermal stability. Additionally, its significantly lower carbon footprint underscores its potential role in sustainable construction practices. The study also explores challenges related to mix design standardization, curing methods, and large-scale implementation. Overall, this work provides a solid foundation for understanding the current advancements, limitations, and future prospects of geopolymer concrete, aiming to guide researchers, engineers, and policymakers in adopting greener construction technologies. The performance of the geopolymer slab is compared with that of traditional ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete, highlighting its potential for reduced environmental impact and improved long-term performance. The findings emphasize the viability of geopolymer concrete as a sustainable alternative for structural elements such as slabs and offer guidance for further development and application in the construction industry.

Every countries plan of future actions majorly depends on the revenue of the government. Whether the future action is related to making any domestic policies, foreign policies, union budget, providing grants, or aids or for any public expenditure, for all these activities government needs to fill its pocket first by collecting revenue from various sources. Year by year, government's public expenditure is increasing and so the need of public revenue also. There are many sources from which government can collect revenue but the major contributing factor for government revenue share in India is collection from taxes. Taxes can be collected by way of imposing it directly or indirectly, however the major focus always comes in case of direct tax collection as it directly depends on the income of a person. Direct taxes are collected in different types form the person. This study focuses on year on year growth in number of taxpayers and year on year growth in Direct Tax collection in India.

This research paper examines India's diplomatic response to the politically charged "India Out" campaign in the Maldives, which emerged as a significant challenge to bilateral relations between 2020 and 2024. Through an analysis of diplomatic strategies, economic interventions, and soft power initiatives, this study evaluates whether India's approach constituted strategic silence or proactive diplomatic outreach. The paper concludes that India employed a sophisticated combination of restraint, economic leverage, and soft diplomacy that ultimately transformed a diplomatic crisis into renewed strategic partnership, culminating in the landmark July 2025 state visit by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The analysis reveals that India's multifaceted approach, combining initial restraint with sustained engagement, economic leverage with soft power projection, and strategic patience with decisive action, represents a new paradigm in neighborhood diplomacy that effectively countered geopolitical challenges while strengthening bilateral cooperation.

Rapid urbanization has been one of the most defining processes shaping Indian cities in recent decades, with significant consequences for social structures, cultural landscapes, and patterns of settlement. Jodhpur, the second-largest city of Rajasthan, has witnessed unprecedented growth in its urban population, rising from 560,310 in 1991 to 1.6 million in 2011, reflecting a growth rate of over 35 percent per decade. This demographic expansion has led to the proliferation of squatter settlements and slums, which now accommodate nearly 23 percent of the city's total population. The present study investigates the dynamics of slums in Jodhpur with a focus on urbanization and cultural change. The research is based on both primary and secondary data. Primary data was collected through household surveys of 300 families across five major squatter settlements--Chopasani Road, Mandore, Soorsagar, Paota, and Sardarpura--while secondary data was derived from Census of India reports, Jodhpur Development Authority records, and municipal statistics. Variables such as demographic profile, housing conditions, occupational structure, access to basic amenities, and cultural practices were analyzed using descriptive statistics and spatial mapping techniques. Findings reveal that most slum dwellers are migrants from rural districts of western Rajasthan, drawn by employment opportunities in construction, handicrafts, and informal services. Housing structures are predominantly kutcha and semi-pucca, with 62 percent of households lacking proper sanitation and 48 percent depending on shared water sources. Despite poverty and inadequate infrastructure, slums have become spaces of vibrant cultural negotiation. Traditional rural customs, such as caste-based associations, folk music, and communal festivals, persist but are increasingly reshaped by urban influences, including exposure to modern education, consumerism, and digital media. Notably, women's participation in income-generating activities has risen to 27 percent, reflecting gradual cultural transformation. The study concludes that slums in Jodhpur are not merely marginal spaces of deprivation but also sites of cultural adaptation and resilience. Urban informality, though often perceived negatively, facilitates the integration of migrants into the city's socio-economic fabric while simultaneously generating hybrid cultural identities. Policy implications suggest that urban planning must go beyond eviction and rehabilitation approaches to recognize slum communities as integral contributors to Jodhpur's evolving urban culture and economy.

Abstract: Dr. B. R. Ambedkar's idea of social justice wasn't just getting rid of caste; it also included rebuilding womanhood in a society that was highly patriarchal and based on caste. Ambedkar saw that caste and gender injustice were linked, and that women were put down twice as much as men. His criticism of Brahmanical sexism, especially as it was written down in old books like the Manusmiriti, showed how controlling women's sexuality and freedom was a key part of keeping the caste system in place. Ambedkar paved the way for gender equality by fighting for women's right to education and equal rights in marriage, property, and job. He not only went against religious norms, but he also put women at the center of India's democratic and constitutional ideas today. Modern feminist research shows that Ambedkar's ideas still motivate people to fight for gender equality, especially Dalit women who are still pushed to the edges of society because of their caste and sexism. This essay makes the case that Ambedkar's reimagining of womanhood is a key model for rethinking gender equality in modern India. It connects the historical fight against caste with the current feminist movement for women's freedom and honour.

Introduction: Ascites, the pathological accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity, often results from conditions like liver cirrhosis, malignancy, or heart failure. Modern medicine employs paracentesis as both a diagnostic and therapeutic intervention. Ayurveda, rooted in the concept of Jalodara, views ascites as a manifestation of Udakavaha Srotas Dushti, characterized by systemic imbalance. Methods: This review synthesizes procedural insights from modern paracentesis techniques and correlates them with Ayurvedic understandings from classical texts such as Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita and Ashtanga Hridaya. The surgical intervention Vyadhana Karma and internal therapies like Basti, Lepa and Virechana are examined for integrative potential. Results: While paracentesis ensures prompt fluid removal and diagnostic clarity, Ayurvedic modalities aim to address root imbalances and prevent recurrence by correcting metabolic dysfunction. Discussion: An integrative approach leveraging both systems could offer enhanced therapeutic outcomes, combining immediate relief with systemic balance. Interdisciplinary collaboration and clinical trials are essential for the evolution of such a model.

Pain is one of the most prevalent health concerns, often managed using synthetic analgesics such as NSAIDs and opioids, which are associated with severe adverse effects including gastrointestinal irritation, renal toxicity, and dependence. This has led to increasing interest in plant-based alternatives with improved safety profiles. Ziziphus mauritiana (Rhamnaceae), widely used in traditional medicine, is rich in flavonoids, saponins, alkaloids, and tannins, and has demonstrated analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities. However, the therapeutic application of its phytoconstituents is limited by poor solubility, low permeability, and inadequate bioavailability when delivered through conventional formulations. To overcome these challenges, the present study aimed to formulate and evaluate a niosomal gel of Z. mauritiana leaf extract for topical analgesic delivery. Niosomes were prepared by the thin-film hydration method, optimized for vesicle size, zeta potential, and entrapment efficiency, and subsequently incorporated into a Carbopol-based gel. The formulation was characterized for pH, viscosity, spreadability, in vitro release, and in vivo analgesic activity using the tail immersion model in Wistar rats. Results revealed sustained drug release, enhanced permeation, and significant analgesic efficacy comparable to diclofenac gel. The findings suggest that Z. mauritiana-loaded niosomal gel is a promising natural and effective alternative for localized pain management with improved patient compliance.
