 Abstract

The Buddhist community in India, which was once a powerful presence in the spiritual and cultural landscape of the subcontinent, has witnessed a phenomenal resurgence in the new age. The essay discusses the transformation of the Buddhist community in new India, with emphasis on their cultural practice, identity, and social roles. The revival of Buddhism in India has much to do with the works of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and his utopian idea of a social and political transformation among oppressed people, specifically the Dalits. On the basis of a synthesis of literature review, interviews, and field research, this study seeks to provide a glimpse into the cultural habits of the Buddhist group in contemporary India and how these persistently keep evolving in spite of socio-political hardships. The results show that contemporary Buddhist rituals not only follow conventional rituals but also concentrate on social justice, equality, and group identity.

 Abstract

The objective of this study is to develop a robust machine learning pipeline for heart disease prediction using an ensemble of K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Support Vector Classifier (SVC), and Decision Tree (DT) models, with hyperparameter tuning to improve accuracy. Early and precise detection of heart disease is vital in the medical field for better treatment outcomes. The process begins with importing necessary libraries and loading the dataset, followed by data preprocessing, which includes exploratory data analysis, handling missing values, reducing memory usage, and describing features. Outliers are identified using boxplots to ensure data quality. Visualization is carried out through univariate and bivariate analysis using scatter plots to explore relationships between features such as age, chest pain, and exercise. After applying MinMax scaling, the data is split into training and test sets. The models are then built and optimized using hyperparameter tuning. Finally, performance is evaluated using accuracy and classification reports, with a comparison of the models to determine the most effective one. This complete pipeline offers a scalable and accurate solution for heart disease diagnosis.

 Abstract

The increasing focus on the safety of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in electric vehi- cles (EVs) necessitates early detection of soft short circuits (SCs) to prevent severe faults such as fire or thermal runaway. This paper proposes an on-board soft SC fault diagnosis method using the extended Kalman filter (EKF). The EKF adjusts a gain matrix based on real-time measured voltages to estimate the state of charge (SOC) of the faulty cell. The SOC difference is then utilized for soft SC fault detection, with identified soft SC resistance values indicating the severity of the fault. Experimental validation on a series-connected battery pack confirms the method's effectiveness in promptly detecting soft SC faults and accurately estimating their resistance While lithium-ion batteries offer advantages such as high energy density and quick charging, concerns about their thermal stability hinder their widespread use due to potential fire and explosion risks. This manuscript comprehensively reviews the thermal runaway phenomenon and fire dynamics in both single LIB cells and multi-cell battery packs. It discusses potential fire prevention measures, emphasizing the chal- lenges associated with ensuring the safety of LIB applications in electric vehicles and energy storage systems. Additionally, the paper provides an overview of fault detection methods for critical EV components, including Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs) and lithium-ion battery packs, stressing the importance of accuracy, speed, sensitivity, and cost-effectiveness in fault detection approaches, with a focus on the latest research developments.

 Abstract

Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), popularly known as indigenous knowledge, regained its significance and political recognition of indigenous rights with the adoption of Agenda 21 during the UN Conference on Environment and Development held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. For the first time, the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) established international protocols for protecting and sharing national biological resources, specifically addressing issues of traditional indigenous knowledge. Additionally, the Nagoya Protocol (2010) provides a legal framework for the effective implementation of the relevant objectives of the CBD. Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) plays a crucial role in environmental conservation, particularly in the Sikkim Himalaya, by providing valuable insights into local ecosystems and resource management practices. This knowledge, passed down through generations, often incorporates a deep understanding of local flora, fauna, and ecological interactions, influencing resource use, soil and water management, and diversification strategies. The "Sacred" aspect of the environment, revered in local cultures, further reinforces conservation efforts by promoting respect for natural resources.

 Abstract

The widespread adoption of digital transactions has amplified the threat of credit card fraud, presenting significant challenges to financial institutions and customers. One major hurdle in fraud detection lies in the severe imbalance between legitimate and fraudulent transactions, causing traditional models to underperform. This study presents a hybrid deep learning strategy that merges the Synthetic Minority Over-Sampling Technique (SMOTE) with a Deep Neural Network (DNN) to better identify fraudulent transactions. Utilizing a publicly available dataset of 284,807 transactions--only 492 of which are fraudulent--SMOTE was used to rebalance the classes by generating synthetic minority instances. The DNN model, built with multiple hidden layers and dropout mechanisms to prevent overfitting, was trained on the balanced dataset. Evaluation using metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score revealed that the system achieved an accuracy of 97.55%. These results show that integrating SMOTE with DNN significantly improves fraud detection performance, offering a robust and scalable solution for real-time financial fraud prevention.

 Abstract

The Bru-Reang Displaced crisis of North-East India is a two-decade-old which emerged out from the ethnic strife between the Mizo and Bru populations in Mizoram, consequently leading to the exodus of over 30,000 people to Tripura. From settling in relief camps in Tripura to the series of attempts of repatriation to Mizoram and the changes that occurred along the way to finally be given permanent settlement in Tripura involves the path of much event issues and problems that attracted the notice of news outlets, government officials, and ministries in the country. The paper seeks the causes of unsuccessful repatriation attempts taken, and illustrating the complexity of permanent settlement solution, with Mizoram and Tripura's states responsibility in handling the situation are closely evaluated in this paper. With the 2020 Quadruple Accord, initiated by the central government and negotiated by the two states governments of Tripura and Mizoram, the Bru dispute was supposed to have been obstacle free from any further difficulties. But the several challenges and complexities faced during the implementation phase caused the permanent resettlement to be postponed beyond the expected period. The study also assesses the living circumstances, social-economic integration, and Bru population adaption in many recently founded settlement colonies. The study and descriptions collected from interviews with displaced Bru representatives, field observations, media reports, papers, and scholarly sources help to offer a thorough knowledge of the problem from many dimension perspectives.
