 Abstract

Traditional agroforestry systems are generally complicated to cope with changing natural conditions, although they produce ecological and economic benefits. This study examines the incorporation of IoT technologies for upgrading traditional agroforestry systems to climate-resilient and sustainable systems. With the installation of IoT sensors, real-time data analysis and precision management systems, the research tracks soil moisture, nutrient state, microclimatic parameters and pest infestations with the aid of optimizing irrigation, precision fertilization and predictive pest control. A comparative case study was performed to assess conventional and IoT-based agroforestry practices based on major parameters such as water-saving yield increase and climatic adaptability. The results found that the use of IoT greatly improves resource management, fore-emergent identification of environmental stress factors and system productivity. This study emphasizes the revolutionary power of IoT in transforming agroforestry practices, providing policymakers and stakeholders with useful insights. The replicable and scalable model suggested in this study fills the gap between conventional practices and new technology, opening the door to sustainable and resilient agroecosystems.

 Abstract

The intersection of mythology and contemporary literary forms offers new insights into cultural narratives and their representation of identity, agency, and existence. In particular, the retellings of Indian mythology have come more and more to adapt to modern sensibilities and frameworks of understanding. One compelling lens through which to explore these transformations is the concept of the "posthuman" which challenges traditional notions of humanity and its boundaries. Environmental posthumanities, as a sub-genre focus on Nature as an active agent capable of influencing human behaviour and societal structures. It deconstructs dualisms like nature/culture, human/nonhuman and subject/object to emphasise the interconnectedness of all life forms. This paper makes a posthuman material analysis of the grotesque characters in Amish Tripathi's Shiva Trilogy to show that they embody hybrid identities that reflect and critique contemporary societal and ecological concerns.

Food labels play an important role in communicating product information to buyers and manufacturers. It comprises information about the product's type, nutritional value, preparation methods and safety measures. Food labels are an important public health tool for encouraging a healthy diet. The study's goal is to assess cardiac patients' knowledge, attitudes, and practice regarding food labeling while attending a cardiac clinic at a tertiary care hospital. The study involved 370 male and female patients from Chennai SIMS Hospital's Cardiac Clinic. A structured validated questionnaire was used to collect demographic data, anthropometric data and questions of knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding food labelling. The Statistical results were analysed using the chi-square test. Overall, the KAP Score revealed that 64.6% of people use food labels moderately, 11.1% inadequately and 24.3% adequately. These findings highlight the significance of food labels in reducing noncommunicable diseases by promoting educated dietary choices. Improving food labeling education and understanding can boost its effectiveness in terms of public health and disease prevention. The findings revealed that area of residence has a borderline relationship with KAP Score, however education level and medical history are substantially associated with KAP Score.

 Abstract

Diseases of the observance oppressively impact the quality of life of millions of people, but the treatment of these diseases is an ongoing, but frequently overlooked challenge particularly in terms of expression design and product development. The frequence of observance diseases has prodded significant sweats to develop new remedial agents, but maybe less invention has been applied to new medicine delivery systems to ameliorate the efficacity of observance complaint treatments. This review provides a brief overview of physiology, major conditions, and current curatives used via the otic route of administration. The primary focuses are on the colorful Administration routes and their expression principles. The composition also presents recent advances in otic medicine deliveries as well as implicit limitations. Otic medicine delivery technology will probably evolve in the coming Decade and more effective or specific treatments for observance complaint will arise from the development of lower invasive medicine delivery styles, safe and largely controlled medicine delivery systems, and biotechnology targeting curatives. This review aims to cement three hot motifs in medicine delivery( a) there-formulation of new Products intended for nose- to- brain delivery;( b) the development of nasal casts for studying The efficacity of implicit new nose- to- brain delivery systems at the early of their development( preformulation); the use of 3D printing grounded on a wide variety of accoutrements ( transparent, Biocompatible, flexible) furnishing an unknown fabrication tool towards substantiated drug by publishing nasal cast on- demand grounded on CT reviews of cases. This review intends to show the links between these three subjects. Indeed, the pathway named to guide the medicine to the brain not only impact the expression strategies to apply but also the design of the cast, to get the most satisfying measures from it. also, the design of the cast himself influences the choice of the 3D- printing technology, Which, in its turn, bring further constraints to the nasal replica design. Accordingly, the Formulation of the medicine, the cast medication and its realisation should be allowed of as whole and not independently.

 Abstract

Agriculture needs to be suitable of supporting the world's entire population. Due to in near future it presumably will come impossible to feed the world population. To match this ever adding agricultural demand. It's constantly assumed that abundant water and soil and riotous sun are demanded, which directly translate into farther productive husbandry. While this has been sufficiently true for ultimate of mortal history, several newer and better technologies have proven that this is easily not inevitably true in modern day. Specifically, it's understood that soil is not a demanded element of successful husbandry, also, shops don't actually need true sun, but a bare slice of the whole spectrum. New disquisition and its operation have shown that the true conditions are actually are quality seeds, water and nutrients. Bettered space and water conserving styles off product under soil- less culture have shown some promising results all over the world. It's on this idea that hydroponics and aeroponics have come more applicable in the present script

 Abstract

This research showcases how the character Ravana of the Indian epic Ramayana has been realistically represented by subverting the conventional notion of the so called villainous characters of the epic. The article also looks into how Asura could also be read as a critique which challenged the traditional mindset regarding the thwarted 'other side'. As Asura being a remarkable reconstruct from the point of view of Ravana, speaks for the silenced entities and interweaves religious thoughts and historical attributes by employing an unusual diversion, pulling out all the stops to provide the narrative an independent existence, on the basis of the contradictory convictions employed in it. This relatively modern construct of the vanquished mythical characters taking rebirths in different tellings have now become a new form of mythology in itself. Hence this study sketches about what the epics really missed while glorifying the victors, their life and deeds.

 Abstract

This paper examines Anita Desai's Cry, the Peacock (1963) as a powerful critique of gendered oppression and the silencing of women's voices within the patriarchal context of 1960s India. Through an in-depth analysis of the protagonist Maya's psychological deterioration, the study explores how Desai portrays the impact of marital alienation, societal expectations, and emotional invalidation on women's mental health. The paper argues that Maya's internal turmoil--symbolized through literary motifs such as the peacock's cry, dust storms, and moon imagery--serves as a silent rebellion against systemic marginalization. Drawing from feminist literary theory and postcolonial perspectives, the analysis underscores how Anita Desai uses narrative techniques and symbolism to reveal the devastating effects of silenced emotional needs and gendered subjugation. The findings illuminate the novel's enduring relevance to feminist discourse, particularly in its exploration of psychological trauma, female agency, and resistance within oppressive social structures.

 Abstract

Water body segmentation using satellite imagery is essential for flood monitoring, environmental planning, and sustainable resource management. This study proposes a deep learning-based framework for semantic segmentation using SegFormer and DeepLabV3+ models, trained on a combination of Sentinel-1 (SAR) and Sentinel-2 (optical) satellite data. The pipeline includes preprocessing using Google Earth Engine (GEE), cloud storage and access via AWS S3, and training on AWS EC2 GPU instances. Evaluation metrics such as IoU, F1-score, Precision, and Recall confirm the superiority of our model over traditional threshold-based methods. The system supports scalable, real-time monitoring for diverse geographic regions and climatic conditions.
