Cloud computing has transformed the global digital ecosystem by offering scalable, cost-effective, and collaborative solutions across industries. Its service models--Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS)--and varied deployment modes have created unprecedented opportunities for innovation and operational agility. However, the decentralised and third-party-dependent nature of cloud systems introduces significant security vulnerabilities. Data breaches, unauthorised access, interoperability gaps, and weaknesses in identity management remain pressing concerns for stakeholders in sectors such as healthcare, finance, education, and government. This paper examines these security challenges through a comprehensive review of literature and insights from practitioners. It argues that the absence of standardised, context-specific frameworks exacerbates risks and undermines the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study integrates theoretical perspectives with empirical observations to identify gaps in existing solutions. The discussion proposes a multi-layered security strategy encompassing advanced encryption, robust identity management, compliance-driven governance, and global interoperability standards. By bridging the divide between technical measures and policy frameworks, this research contributes to building resilient cloud ecosystems capable of mitigating emerging threats while maintaining trust and reliability. The findings hold value for researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers seeking sustainable and secure cloud adoption.

This paper presents the design and simulation of a hybrid-shaped microstrip patch antenna (MPA) that combines the benefits of U-shaped cutouts and a hexagonal shape to achieve enhanced gain and bandwidth at 2.45 GHz. The antenna is designed by incorporating U-shaped cutouts within a hexagonal structure to improve its performance compared to conventional U-shaped and hexagonal antennas. The antenna was designed and simulated on an FR4 substrate with a dielectric constant of 4.4 and a thickness of 1.6 mm. The design and simulations were carried out using High-Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS). The simulation results indicate that the hybrid-shaped antenna achieved a gain of 5.4 dB and a bandwidth of 1.96 GHz, which are improved values relative to the individual designs. These enhanced characteristics make the antenna well-suited for wireless communication applications such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee. The combination of higher gain and wider bandwidth highlights the potential of the proposed antenna for integration into modern wireless systems.

Background: Postpartum coccydynia is a painful and disabling condition that affects women following childbirth. Objective: To compare the effectiveness of Muscle Energy Technique (MET) with phonophoresis versus phonophoresis alone in managing postpartum coccydynia. Methods: A comparative experimental study was conducted on 46 postpartum women clinically diagnosed with coccydynia. Participants were randomly allocated into two groups: Group A (n=23) received MET with phonophoresis and a home exercise program, and Group B (n=23) received phonophoresis only. Pain intensity (NPRS) and disability (ODI) were assessed before and after 4 weeks of intervention. Statistical analysis included paired and unpaired t-tests. Results: Both groups showed significant improvements (p < 0.0001). Group A demonstrated greater reduction in pain intensity, while Group B showed greater improvement in disability. Between-group differences were statistically significant. Conclusion: Both interventions are effective in managing postpartum coccydynia. Combining MET with phonophoresis yields superior pain reduction, while phonophoresis alone showed slightly greater disability improvement. A multimodal approach may provide optimal benefits.

Nutrition Feeding Automation System plays a significant role in enhancing precision agriculture, particularly in hydroponic farming where nutrient concentration directly influences crop yield and quality. This study presents the design and implementation of an Arduino-driven prototype for Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) hydroponics, integrating a TDS sensor for real-time nutrient calibration and a water level sensor for maintaining optimal solution volume. The Arduino Uno R3 serves as the control unit, processing sensor feedback to regulate nutrient and water delivery through servo-actuated valves. When nutrient concentration falls below 800 ppm, the system automatically dispenses fertilizer until the target threshold is achieved, while low water levels trigger automatic refilling. Experimental testing confirmed accurate detection of solution concentration and responsive adjustment of nutrient and water inputs, demonstrating improved consistency compared to manual methods. The proposed system highlights the potential of embedded automation for hydroponic management, reducing human error and ensuring balanced nutrient delivery for sustainable plant growth in controlled environments.

This paper investigates the construction of adulthood in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series and reimagines it through the theoretical lens of crossover fiction. While the series functions as a classic bildungsroman, tracing Harry's growth from childhood to adulthood, this study interrogates how notions of adulthood shift when juxtaposed with other fictional universes such as The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and The Hunger Games. Drawing on psychosocial theories (Erikson, Arnett), performativity (Butler), and fan studies (Jenkins, Busse), this paper argues that crossover fiction provides a unique space for challenging and rearticulating the meaning of adulthood. By situating Harry's journey within alternate moral and cultural frameworks, this study reveals adulthood as a dynamic, relational, and performative construct rather than a fixed endpoint. Ultimately, it proposes that adulthood in literature and popular culture is an evolving, context-dependent process that resists simplistic narrative closure.

This paper examines Salman Rushdie's 2024 memoir Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder through the lens of trauma narratives, resilience, and psychological recovery. On August 12, 2022, Rushdie was stabbed multiple times in a public attack--a violent culmination of decades of persecution following the publication of The Satanic Verses. In Knife, Rushdie transforms his near-death experience into a literary meditation, reconstructing his personal and creative identity through language. This paper employs Cathy Caruth's trauma theory and Judith Herman's framework on recovery to analyze Knife as a literary testament to survival. Through a close reading of the memoir, it interrogates how traumatic memory, vulnerability, and resilience intersect in narratives of violence. Furthermore, the paper situates Knife within postcolonial literary discourse, linking Rushdie's experience to broader issues of censorship, violence, and freedom of expression.

The pancreas is a vital organ in a body which is responsible for the release of multiple hormones which are necessary to carry out the tasks of the body like glucose regulation in blood and hunger hormones and metabolism. But due to different circumstances be it dietary, lifestyle, trauma or habitat the pancreatic cells are prone to stress and inflammation due to which the chances of pancreatic cells dysfunction or damage is observed. This ultimately leads to conditions like diabeties, pancreatitis, pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Though research on the possible treatments are going on but there is still no complete curative treatment.but the research for a complete cure like by using stem cells have a high probability of replacing and repairing the damaged pancreatic cells. So this paper is about the emerging snail mucin extract which has a lot of compounds like glycosaminoglycans, peptides, glycolic acid, hyaluronic acid, and other trace elements due to which it shows antioxidant, anti microbial, anti inflammatory, regenerative properties so it is used in cosmetic products. Bioprospecting this snail mucin if it has the potential in preventing or protecting the pancreatic cells from conditions which cause it to deteriorate. And for that purpose understanding the snail mucin and pancreatic cells and designing a proper plan to conduct a research is thhe main objective of this paper.

Infiltration - defined as the unauthorized entry of individuals across national borders or into ecologically sensitive areas - poses a growing environmental concern in India. While often addressed through the lens of national security, the ecological consequences of infiltration remain under-examined. This paper explores the environmental impacts of infiltration on forests, wildlife, and biodiversity, particularly in India's border regions and forested zones, where illegal encroachmen... Infiltration contributes directly to deforestation, habitat fragmentation, and the overexploitation of natural resources. Border areas such as Jammu & Kashmir, Rajasthan, Assam, and parts of the Northeast - many of which are biodiversity hotspots - witness significant environmental pressure due to illegal activities like logging, poaching, grazing, and unregulated land use. These actions degrade forest cover, disturb wildlife corridors, and endanger vulnerable species such as the blackbuck, snow leopa... The environmental damage from infiltration also affects indigenous and conservation-oriented communities, such as the Bishnois of Rajasthan, who have historically protected forests and wildlife through deep-rooted ecological and spiritual values. Their efforts are increasingly undermined by external pressures resulting from human intrusion and resource exploitation. This paper emphasizes the need for a holistic approach that integrates environmental conservation with border security policies. Strengthening surveillance, enforcing environmental laws, and involving local communities in protection and monitoring efforts are essential steps. Addressing infiltration as an environmental issue is critical for preserving India's ecological balance and ensuring long-term sustainability in its most vulnerable regions.
