Parental Involvement And Neuroeducation: A Pilot Study On Brain Plasticity In Foundational Stage Learners
type: item
description: This research paper discusses the link between parental engagement and neuroeducation from the perspective of brain plasticity in early childhood. The study is a pilot investigation of 30 learners in the foundational stage (ages 3 to 6) based on neuroscientific evidence that early childhood is a period of heightened synaptic proliferation and environmental sensitivity. This study uses a parental involvement questionnaire, adapted from validated instruments, to investigate the relationship between parent-child interactive behaviours and developmental outcomes. These results suggest that active, reciprocal parent-child interactions, especially those that include language-rich conversations, responsive caregiving, and play-based learning, are associated with improved neurodevelopmental outcomes. This paper contributes to the growing literature of neuropedagogical research by providing empirical evidence that parental involvement is a crucial environmental mechanism for the development of brain architecture. This article adds to the expanding pool of neuropedagogical research with empirical evidence that parental involvement is a major environmental mechanism for influencing brain architecture during the foundational stage, with implications for educational policy, teacher preparation, and family engagement strategies.

Harmonic Evaluation of Active and Reactive Power Droop Control Strategies for Cascaded type Microgrid
type: item
description: Distributed generation units incorporating power electronics are becoming popular owing to their zero emission features. The most important elements to evaluate the successful use and flexibility of microgrids are the control as well as coordination of such generating units. The present report operates a space vector PWM technically controlled distribution unit linked to the series with steady power sharing. The synchronisation as well as power balancing of dispersed generating devices constitutes two major problems in cascaded-type microgrids that require immediate response. To that aim, in this research, an f-P/Q drop control is suggested and its stability is also examined. This suggested drop-control is capable of independently achieving power balance under resistive and resistive loads. The clear benefit in comparison to the reverse power factor drop control is to expand the field of application. Furthermore, simulation results verify the viability of the suggested approach. The technique ensures precise power sharing even when the connection is interrupted. Where the load varies during the interruption of communication, energy sharing accuracy is decreased, yet the suggested approach is better than the traditional drop control method. Furthermore, the accuracy of the power sharing base on the suggested approach is not affected by the communication channel time delay as well as local loads at inverter output. The control model was simulated in MATLAB using a series connection of two or three inverters. A comparison study is performed on THDs using SPWM and SVPWM methods in the output voltage. The active forces are also compared to improved power supply..

Electricity Generation from Plastic Waste Using Thermoelectric Generators
type: item
description: Plastic waste is a problem for the environment because it doesn't break down and people are using more and more of it. This paper talks about a system that turns plastic waste into electricity using special devices called thermoelectric generators or TEGs for short. The system has parts: a chamber where the plastic is burned in a controlled way, an SP1848-27145 TEG module, a heat sink, a device that boosts the voltage, an inverter that changes the voltage from current to alternating current and a unit that filters the air. When plastic is burned it produces heat, which is then turned into electricity by the TEG through something called the Seebeck effect. The results of the experiment show that the voltage output went up from 0.8 volts to 5.3 volts when the temperature difference across the TEG went up from 30 degrees Celsius to 140 degrees Celsius. The most power that was produced was 625.4 milliwatts.The air filtration system that is part of the setup helps reduce the stuff released during burning. The system we propose is a cost- way to deal with plastic waste and make a small amount of electricity at the same time.

Comparative Analysis & Performance of PT Beams vs. RCC Deep Beams in Multistory Buildings Under Dynamic Loading
type: item
description: As the demand for multistory buildings rises, so do the need for structural systems that can withstand dynamic loads like earthquakes, wind, and vibration. Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) deep beams and Post-Tensioned (PT) deep beams are among the structural members that have received widespread interest for their unique structural properties and performance benefits. This review paper compares the performance of RCC deep beam structure with PT beam structure of multistory buildings under dynamic loading condition. The basic characteristics of both beam systems, different dynamic loads applied to buildings and important performance parameters as the load carrying capacity, deflection, stiffness, ductility, energy dissipation, crack control, serviceability and durability are discussed. The extensive study of the latest literature has shown that the PT beams have a higher load carrying capacity, less deflection, better crack resistance and high structural efficiency, whereas the RCC deep beams are high in stiffness, shear resistance and simpler to construct. The study summarizes the benefits, drawbacks and practical use of both systems and suggests possible future research to enhance structural performance and resilience under dynamic loading.

Analytical Study of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2023 with reference to Stakeholders Rights Perspectives
type: item
description: This study is an attempt to explore the working of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) 2023 and to focus on the stakeholders and to what extend their rights are upheld under IBC. It explores: Why the bankruptcy regime has been shaped the way it is; the conflict between interest of justice of stakeholders and interest of creditors – who are the system's preferred player when according to Indian statute. The nature of the study is descriptive and analytical because evaluations are carried out about the impact of the Code on creditors, debtors, workers, the shareholders and regulators from different dimension such as legislative provision, the case law/empirical evidence. Results come back suggesting that the IBC 2023 provides for a higher recovery rate with an enhanced creditor oversight, but is likely to result in marginalization non-creditor parties. Weights and counterweights in the judgments of the Judges and protection gaps of vulnerable groups still exist. According to the report, a variety of initiatives are needed, including greater scrutiny of the regulators, more transparency for shareholders and more protection for employees. Emphasis on the policy implication to develop an equitable development and achieve financial stability is created and the comparison is made with Indian and Global bankruptcy regime.

Exploring the Moderating Effect of Demographics on Social Interaction and Purchase Intention in Social Commerce Platforms
type: item
description: The rapid expansion of social commerce platforms has significantly transformed consumer purchasing behavior, largely driven by dynamic social interactions such as peer ratings, community engagement, and social sharing. Although prior studies suggest that social involvement enhances consumers’ purchase intentions, the moderating role of demographic characteristics in this relationship remains insufficiently explored. Addressing this gap, the present study investigates how demographic variables—specifically age, gender, education level, and income influence the relationship between social interaction and purchase intention in the context of social commerce. A quantitative research design was employed, surveying 500 active users of social commerce platforms, including Instagram Shopping and Facebook Marketplace. Grounded in the Stimulus Organism Response (S-O-R) framework, the study conceptualizes social interaction as a stimulus influencing consumers’ internal evaluations and behavioral responses. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was utilized to test the proposed model and examine the moderating effects of demographic variables. The findings reveal that social interaction exerts a significant positive effect on purchase intention; however, this relationship is notably moderated by age and gender. Specifically, younger users particularly female consumers demonstrate greater responsiveness to social cues such as peer recommendations and community feedback. In contrast, income and education level do not exhibit a significant moderating effect on the relationship between social interaction and purchase intention. These results underscore the importance of demographically tailored marketing strategies in social commerce environments. From a theoretical perspective, the study enhances understanding of consumer behavior by integrating demographic moderators into the S-O-R framework. Practically, the findings offer valuable insights for marketers s…

title: A Critical Comparative Investigation into the Role of Paper Substrate Physicochemical Characteristics in Determining Image Reproduction Accuracy and Print Quality Outcomes in Sheet-Fed Offset Lithographic Printing
description: The quality of printed products in sheet-fed offset lithographic printing is significantly influenced by the physicochemical characteristics of the paper substrate. Properties such as grammage, thickness, brightness, opacity, surface roughness, tensile strength, tear resistance, and absorbency play a crucial role in determining ink transfer, image reproduction accuracy, and overall print quality. This study presents a critical comparative investigation of different paper substrates used in sheet-fed offset printing to evaluate their impact on key print quality parameters, including dot gain, print density, color reproduction, trapping efficiency, print contrast, and image sharpness. Standardized printing conditions were maintained throughout the experimentation to ensure that variations in print performance could be attributed primarily to substrate characteristics. The physicochemical properties of selected paper grades were measured using standardized testing methods, and the resulting print samples were analyzed using appropriate print quality assessment techniques. The findings reveal significant correlations between substrate properties and print quality outcomes, demonstrating that coated papers generally provide superior image reproduction accuracy, colour fidelity, and surface finish compared to uncoated substrates. The study contributes to a better understanding of substrate–print interactions and offers valuable insights for printers, publishers, and packaging manufacturers in selecting suitable paper grades for achieving optimum print quality and production efficiency.

A Systematic Investigation into Printing Defects in Central Impression (CI) Flexographic Printing on Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Substrates
type: item
description: Printing quality in Central Impression (CI) flexographic printing on Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) substrates is strongly influenced by the interaction between substrate surface properties, ink behaviour, and press operating conditions. Despite its wide application in flexible packaging, maintaining consistent print quality remains challenging due to the frequent occurrence of various printing defects. The present investigation systematically examines common defects observed during CI flexographic printing on LDPE films, including ink smearing, dot gain, banding, pinholing, poor ink adhesion, and registration errors. The effects of key process parameters such as printing speed, impression pressure, anilox roller volume, ink viscosity, and substrate surface energy are critically analysed to understand their contribution to defect formation. Controlled printing trials were conducted using LDPE substrates with defined specifications to evaluate variations in print quality under different operating conditions. Results indicate that defect formation is predominantly governed by the combined influence of low surface energy of LDPE, suboptimal ink rheology, and mechanical variations within the printing system. Inadequate wetting and adhesion behaviour leads to ink transfer issues, while improper balance between anilox selection and ink viscosity contributes to tonal inconsistency and print unevenness. Additionally, mechanical instabilities in CI flexographic systems are found to significantly affect registration accuracy and cause banding defects. Findings highlight the necessity of optimizing substrate treatment, ink formulation, and press parameters to minimize defect occurrence and enhance overall print performance on LDPE materials used in flexible packaging applications.

Beyond Taxation: Autism Care, Disability Justice, and the Social Impact of GST Reform in India
type: item
description: For many Indian families, the expense of autism care remains a significant burden. In addition to (Autism Spectrum Disorder; ASD), humanitarian passage in beneficial domains next to common routes of the sociocultural environment is the main focus here. By the other hand, it also requires continuous intervention approaches across multiple domains including speech therapy, occupational therapy, behavioural modification therapy, adapted schooling, the use of cutting-edge assistive devices and holistic support to caregivers. Most of these services have to be paid for from private pockets, which constitutes a serious burden on families. The items and Services Tax (GST) simplified India's indirect taxation system but what about the items and services that are taxed which concerns disabilities? GST 2.0: Changes to support autism care and disability welfare, ORMS 2023-10 (October 2023). This paper employs a comprehensive, mixed-methods policy analysis approach to critically assess GST category impacts on the cost and availability of therapies and assistive technology associated with autism. It deals with the tax treatment of computer access software, instructional software, rehabilitative services and employment support technology aids - including augmentative and alternative communication devices; and voice generating equipment. In this essay, I propose that indirect taxation is mainly a tool of social policy for promoting or relieving disability, rather than just a small revenue source. This paper draws on principles of disability justice, social work advocacy and public policy to propose reforms the Goods and Services Tax (GST) as it applies to autism-specific assistive technologies and clearly for therapy services in their interaction with disability benefit schemes. This has shown that tax justification cuts down on cost to families but also, when in proper condition meets the demand for fair access to all the services discussed above. It goes on to argue that tax refo…

Ambient Air Quality Assessment of Nitrogen Dioxide and Sulphur Dioxide in Agra India Spatial Distribution, Seasonal Variation and Year on Year Trends (2024–2026)
type: item
description: This study analyses twenty-five months of ambient air quality monitoring data (March 2024–March 2026) collected at four Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) National Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Programme (NAMP) stations in Agra India: Taj Mahal (heritage monument zone), Itmad-ud-Daulah (secondary heritage zone), Rambagh (residential/traffic corridor) and Nunhai (industrial estate). Monthly mean concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) and sulphur dioxide (SO₂) are analysed for seasonal patterns, inter-station spatial gradients and year on year trends. Results reveal a consistent spatial hierarchy (Nunhai > Rambagh ≈ Itmad-ud-Daulah > Taj Mahal) and robust seasonal cycling with NO₂ peaking in the post monsoon and winter seasons and reaching minima during the southwest monsoon. All four stations remain compliant with NAAQS 2009 annual limits for NO₂ (40 µg/m³) but persistently exceed the WHO 2021 annual guideline of 10 µg/m³ indicating a significant public health protection gap. SO₂ concentrations were overwhelmingly below the instrument detection limit (< 4 µg/m³) throughout the study period reflecting the effectiveness of BS-VI fuel standards and Taj Trapezium Zone (TTZ) deindustrialisation policies. A modest year on year improvement in NO₂ was observed at three of four stations between 2024–25 and 2025– 26, tentatively attributed to the cumulative impact of progressive vehicle emission norms. Findings carry important implications for heritage conservation, urban public health policy and the alignment of Indian ambient air quality standards with contemporary WHO evidence.

Chrononutrition And Metabolic Disease: A Review Of Circadian Influences On Metabolic Syndrome, Type 2 Diabetes, And Cardiometabolic Health
type: item
description: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) some of the most common metabolic disorders worldwide and the major causes of heart disease and deaths. In the conventional nutritional therapy, diet composition and calorie restriction remain the main tools; nevertheless, there are increasing pieces of evidence that the timing of eating has an important part in metabolic homeostasis. Chrononutrition is one of the new areas which deal with interaction of nutrients, circadian rhythm, and metabolic processes. The circadian system controls glucose metabolism, insulin secretion, lipids, hormones production, and energy expenditure. Misalignment of circadian rhythm because of irregular eating time, shifts at work, social jetlag, and nighttime eating increases risk for obesity, MetS, and T2DM development. Clinical research has revealed that synchronization of eating time with the internal clock through TRE, eTRF, and optimal eating time can have beneficial impact on insulin resistance, metabolic health, body weight, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. Recently it has become known that there are several mechanisms involved in linking eating schedule with metabolism, including gut microbiota and hormonal pathways. This review provides an overview of the existing evidence related to chrononutrition and its relevance in metabolic syndrome and T2DM through circadian biology, clinical practice, and therapeutic perspectives. An appreciation of the importance of meal timing can help achieve an efficient complementary intervention for cardiometabolic disorders.

Assessment of Knowledge Regarding Exclusive Breastfeeding among Mothers in a Metropolitan City
type: item
description: Breastfeeding serves as a vital health intervention, offering multifaceted benefits for both mothers and infants. The purpose of this study was to outline breastfeeding-related practices and determine the prevalence of mothers having sufficient knowledge about exclusive breastfeeding. Conducted at an Anganwadi Centre in a metropolitan city, the six-month descriptive cross-sectional study involved 121 mothers selected through simple random sampling. Data on knowledge levels linked to exclusive breastfeeding were gathered by face-to-face interviews using a pre-designed questionnaire. Results revealed that only 50.4% of mothers demonstrated adequate knowledge of the assessed topics, and less than half received breastfeeding counselling during antenatal care. Knowledge gaps were identified in various areas, including health benefits for mothers and infants and colostrum administration. The study underscores the need for comprehensive breastfeeding education during routine antenatal care, with a particular focus on improving counselling rates. Despite limitations such as the relatively small sample size and potential underestimation of counselling rates based on mothers' reports, the findings emphasize the critical role of closing knowledge gaps in promoting optimal breastfeeding practices. Strategies for improvement include integrating lactation consultants into antenatal clinics, training healthcare staff, and instituting standardized counselling models. In conclusion, enhancing breastfeeding education and counselling is pivotal for empowering mothers to make informed feeding decisions. This study contributes valuable insights to public health programming, advocating for targeted interventions to bridge knowledge disparities and support mothers in achieving their breastfeeding goals.

description: Aerospace packaging solutions demand unprecedented material integrity to protect ultra-sensitive electronic components, propulsion units, and life-support subsystems during launch and prolonged deep-space missions. Traditional packaging systems fail under extreme environmental stresses, including intense thermal vacuum cycling, high-energy ionizing and cosmic radiation, atomic oxygen erosion, and severe mechanical vibrations (>14G). This paper establishes a comprehensive technical framework for Space-Grade Printing Technology, evaluating high-performance additive manufacturing systems, functional conductive ink engineering, and advanced smart structural integration. We systematically map the material science of space-ready polymers specifically Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), Polyetherketoneketone (PEKK), and Polyimide (PEI/ULTEM 9085) and detail the optimization of Aerosol Jet Printing (AJP) and Direct Ink Writing (DIW) for printing conformal embedded electronics directly onto packaging surfaces. Furthermore, this study evaluates strict compliance frameworks governed by NASA and European Space Agency (ESA) outgassing standards (ASTM E595) and non destructive forensic testing methods. This research provides a roadmap for executing zero-failure, lightweight, and smart space-grade packaging matrices.

Formulation and evaluation of solid lipid nano particle of Vaccinium Macrocarpon Extract and Its Antimicrobial Activity
type: item
description: A promising and adaptable drug delivery method that fills the gap between "polymeric nanoparticles" and "lipid emulsions" is solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs). The goal of the current work was to formulate, optimize, and assess SLNs loaded with cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) extract for increased antibacterial activity. Vaccinium macrocarpon, a member of the Ericaceae family, is renowned for its broad-spectrum antibacterial qualities, antioxidant potential, and high phenolic and flavonoid content. Methanol and petroleum ether were used as solvents in the soxhlet extraction process to create the extract. Flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, glycosides, phenolic chemicals, triterpenoids, and steroids were all found in the methanolic extract, according to phytochemical screening. The results showed that the "total flavonoid content (TFC)" was 15.23 mg per gram equivalent of rutin and the total phenolic content (TPC) was 62.03 mg per gram equivalent of gallic acid. "Compritol" was used as the "lipid phase" and "sodium lauryl sulphate" as the "surfactant" in the solvent evaporation process utilized to create SLNs. Lipid and surfactant amounts were varied to create five formulations (F1–F5). Malvern Zetasizer's particle size study showed sizes ranging from 574.2 to 993.4 nm; formulation F3 had the smallest particle size, measuring 574.2 nm. The range of zeta potential readings was "-1.2 mV to 5.3 mV". The smooth surface and spherical shape were verified by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The antimicrobial activity of optimized formulation "F3" against "Escherichia coli" was demonstrated by dose-dependent zones of inhibition measuring 7 mm, 10 mm, and 13 mm at 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mg/mL, respectfully. The F3 formulation remained stable for a three-month period with no appreciable changes in size of particles or zeta potential, according to stability assays conducted under accelerated settings. The findings show that SLNs loaded with Vaccinium macrocarpon extract are a stable…

Development of Intelligent Solar Panel Cleaning Robot for Enhanced Energy Efficiency
type: item
description: A critical factor degrading solar panel efficiency is the soiling effect the accumulation of dust, particulate matter, bird droppings, and environmental debris on the anti-reflective coating of PV modules. Such optical obstruction significantly attenuates incident photon irradiance, leading to power generation losses of up to 30% in arid and semi-arid regions. Conventional manual cleaning interventions are labor-intensive, hazardous, and highly water-inefficient, highlighting the critical need for automated alternatives. This research presents the design, development, and validation of an intelligent, autonomous, and resource efficient robotic cleaning system tailored for inclined PV arrays. The proposed architecture utilizes a low-cost, high efficiency processing unit Arduino integrated with a customized wheeled chassis optimized for the tilt angles of standard PV installations. Navigation and spatial boundary recognition are governed by an advanced array of ultrasonic and infrared (IR) edge-detection sensors, ensuring strict adherence to the panel perimeter and preventing catastrophic falls. The electro-mechanical cleaning mechanism employs a continuous rotary brush coupled with a dry-wipe methodology, drastically reducing water consumption. Experimental validation conducted on a specialized test rig demonstrates robust edge detection under varying ambient light conditions and reliable locomotion on inclinations up to 25 degrees. Comparative analysis of current-voltage (I-V) characteristics before and after automated cleaning revealed a substantial recovery in PV power output, validating the system's efficacy. Ultimately, this autonomous robotic paradigm presents a scalable, cost-effective solution for large-scale solar farms, substantially improving the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) while mitigating operational hazards and resource wastage.

Analysing Consumer Behaviour Patterns and Institutional Practices Towards E-Waste Disposal in Patna
type: item
description: With rising per capita income and improving living standards among Patna residents, the consumption of electronic goods has increased significantly. Rapid consumerism, coupled with the frequent introduction of advanced models of electronic appliances, has led consumers to replace older devices more often—thereby contributing to a continuous rise in e-waste generation. According to the WHO (2025), e-waste is the fastest-growing stream of solid waste globally. An IIT Patna report further indicates that Patna is the largest consumer of electronic goods in Bihar. The city hosts numerous IT companies, major corporate houses, business enterprises, and shopping malls. Although there are 142 authorised collection centers listed by the Bihar State Pollution Control Board and two electronic-waste recycling units in Patna, the infrastructure for formal e-waste recycling remains inadequate. While Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations are in place in the state, public awareness regarding e-waste disposal and recycling is low. A majority of consumers continue to discard e-waste through raddiwalas operating in the informal sector. This paper analyses consumer behaviour patterns and institutional policies and practices concerning e-waste disposal and management in Patna. The study is based on both primary and secondary data

Explainable Quantum-Optimized Efficient Net Framework For Multi-Class Disaster Image Classification
type: item
description: Disaster detection needs to happen accurately and instantly because it helps to reduce human deaths and financial losses and environmental destruction. Satellite remote sensing and artificial intelligence advancements have created better systems which can automatically identify disasters through their analysis of extensive satellite imagery. Deep learning disaster detection systems function as black-box systems which restrict their ability to operate in emergency situations because decision-makers cannot understand their functioning. The research presents a deep learning system which combines explainability with quantum-enhanced efficiency to classify multiple disaster types through image analysis. The system uses EfficientNetB0 to extract features with high efficiency while using a quantum-inspired metaheuristic algorithm to select the best features and multiple Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) methods which include Grad-CAM Saliency Maps and LIME. The proposed system is trained and evaluated on the Comprehensive Disaster Dataset (CDD) introduced by Niloy et al., comprising flood, wildfire, earthquake damage, landslide, urban fire, and non-disaster classes. The experimental assessment shows that the proposed system reaches 98.4% classification accuracy while maintaining high precision and recall and F1-score performance across all disaster categories. The model uses XAI techniques to provide visual and instance-level understanding of its predictions because the model needs to show how disaster features impact its outcomes. Comparative analysis indicates superior performance and improved explainability over recent deep learning–based disaster detection systems. The results confirm that combining quantum-based feature optimization with explainable deep learning enhances both predictive performance and operational trust, making the framework suitable for real-world disaster management and emergency response systems.
