 Abstract

Escalating private vehicle dependency has intensified urban traffic congestion and carbon emissions, creating an urgent need for sustainable shared mobility alternatives. Carpooling and ride-sharing offer compelling solutions; however, widespread uptake is suppressed by psychological reservations surrounding personal safety, traveler anonymity, and data privacy. This paper introduces EzyRide, a peer-to-peer ride-sharing and carpooling system built on the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js). The platform connects drivers with vacant seats to riders with compatible itineraries. EzyRide combats trust deficits through compulsory Aadhaar-linked KYC authentication combined with biometric facial recognition via a Face Application Programming Interface (API), reinforces in-journey safety via an embedded SOS emergency module, and facilitates frictionless payments through the Razorpay gateway. Instantaneous trip coordination is enabled by a Socket.IO-powered in-app messaging system. Through the synergy of these trust-engineering mechanisms and an adaptive ride-matching interface, EzyRide dismantles the socio-behavioral barriers obstructing shared mobility adoption, delivering a dependable and human centric peer-to-peer transportation ecosystem.

 Abstract

Abstract: For centuries, persons affected by the British Empire have faced challenging situations due to its entanglements. It has, nevertheless, shown to be quite beneficial for writing in the English language. Even after the British Empire ended, both British and non-British writers have been tackling the issues underlying the expansion and fall of the empire in their works for many years. The Raj has deeply impacted British culture and literature, as well as the minds of its people. Among these writers, Paul Scott sticks out for having carved out a special place for himself with The Raj Quartet. In his novels The Raj Quartet (1966-75), Paul Scott explores the fall of empire. Instead, then merely being a book collection, it provides a thorough examination and evaluation of British imperialism. Once Paul Scott saw that his work was really a history of the fall of the British Raj in India, he recognised his core theme: the Raj's decline and final eclipse. This is a cosy, sad, and thought-provoking book. The failure of British imperialism is a historical issue that Paul Scott covers in detail in The Raj Quartet. In "The Raj Quartet," the whole Raj experience is dramatized.

 Abstract

Skin cancer is one of the most prevalent and life-threatening forms of cancer worldwide, and early accurate detection is critical for improving patient outcomes. This paper presents a transparent and explainable artificial intelligence (AI) framework for skin cancer classification by integrating Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) with Vision Transformer (ViT) models. While deep learning models have demonstrated remarkable accuracy in medical image analysis, their black-box nature limits clinical adoption. To address this, our approach leverages Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM) and attention rollout techniques to generate visual explanations of the model's decision-making process. The hybrid CNN-ViT architecture captures both local texture features and global contextual dependencies from dermoscopic images. Experiments conducted on the HAM10000 benchmark dataset demonstrate that the proposed model achieves a classification accuracy of 93.7%, with significant improvements in sensitivity and specificity compared to standalone CNN or ViT models. The explainability maps highlight clinically relevant lesion regions, thereby building trust for real-world dermatological diagnosis. This work contributes toward making AI-based skin cancer tools transparent, interpretable, and deployable in clinical environments.

 Abstract

-- Managing personal finances in the contemporary digital era has grown considerably more challenging owing to the proliferation of online transactions, international payment platforms, and diversified spending habits. Most conventional expense-tracking tools confine themselves to simple transaction logging without providing predictive intelligence or proactive financial guidance. This paper presents Finalyze, a conversational AI-based personal finance assistant that merges smart budgeting, multi-currency transaction handling, and machine-learning-driven analytics into a single cohesive platform. The system encodes transaction records into feature vectors, applies XGBoost regression for expense forecasting, uses Isolation Forest for anomaly identification, and computes a composite Financial Health Score. A natural-language interface powered by NLTK lets users interrogate their financial data conversationally, while automated foreign-exchange normalisation guarantees consistency across border-spanning payments. Evaluation on real-world transaction datasets confirms significant improvements in budgeting accuracy, anomaly recall, and user engagement relative to conventional trackers.

 Abstract

The Indian social structure as a wide example of plural identities which includes both the majorities and minorities communities and other weaker sections and so on which exposes their vital role to success the definition of real democracy. The Grassroots democracy has emerged as a vital instrument for promoting social justice and inclusive development in India's rural landscape. Since the enactment of the 73rd Constitutional Amendment in 1992, India's Panchayati Raj system has provided institutional frameworks for participatory governance and empowerment of marginalized communities, Dalits, Adivasis, women, and minorities. Yet, the persistence of structural inequalities, caste hierarchies, and economic disparities limits the transformative potential of decentralization. This study examines how grassroots democratic institutions function as vehicles for empowerment, equity, and accountability in rural India. By integrating theoretical perspectives on participatory democracy with empirical data from the Ministry of Rural Development, NITI Aayog, and field studies across states such as Kerala, Rajasthan, and West Bengal, the paper evaluates the extent to which decentralized governance has advanced inclusive rural development. The findings suggest that while participatory institutions have deepened democratic engagement, substantive empowerment remains uneven across social groups, calling for stronger institutional reforms and inclusive policy design.

Abstract The paper explores the importance of visual storytelling by means of illustration in art education and its immense influence on the ultimate creative growth of students. Art education is not a new concept on why it has been considered as an essential element in nurturing creativity, awareness of aesthetic values and appreciation of cultural values. Nevertheless, incorporation of illustration as a method of pedagogy brings new aspects to the teaching and learning process and it overcomes the barrier between the old artistic methods and new visual communication. As a kind of visual storytelling, illustration allows the learners to convey complex thoughts, feelings, and stories in a manner that goes beyond the language barriers, which makes it a strong tool in improving creativity and critical thinking. This paper starts by putting illustration in the larger perspective of art education by relying on theoretical understandings that highlight the significance of visual culture in determining the identity and cognitive capacities of learners. A literature review underscores the development of illustration as an element of manuscripts and printmaking up to the present-day use in the digital domain, instructional tools, and the art itself. This development highlights how it is applicable in learners classrooms where there is growing exposure to multimodal communication methods. The research methodology is a descriptive and analytical one, which involves classroom observations, student feedback, and analysis of creative outputs. The results demonstrate that the inclusion of illustration as a part of art education not only contributes to the development of students visualizing and conveying the ideas but also includes their problem solving skills, collaborative learning and their interest in cultural stories. Students that were subjected to illustration-based activities proved to be more confident in their artistic expression, and they also possessed a better ability to combine traditional techniques with digital technologies. It has been highlighted in the discussion that illustration is a middle ground between theory and practice and provides educators with a versatile tool to develop creativity without losing cultural relevance. It also identifies the possible potential of illustration to help learn interdisciplinary, to tie the teaching of art to literature, history, and technology. The research finds its conclusion and suggests the application of illustration-based strategies by educators as the method of diversifying curricula, promoting innovation, and training students to meet the requirements of the modern creative economy. At the end of the day, this study is able to confirm that illustrative storytelling is not only an artistic art form but a transitional learning instrument. Incorporating illustration into art education, educators can create the conditions that help develop imagination, enable students to express the ideas visually and create the context of creative growth that is applicable not only in the classroom, but also in the context of the larger culture and career.
