 Abstract

Medicinal plants and their secondary metabolites are increasingly used as complementary medicines for the treatment of various diseases. Many synthetic anti-inflammatory drugs are associated with significant side effects and toxicity. In contrast, plant-derived anti-inflammatory agents have been traditionally used to manage inflammation with minimal adverse effects. Inflammation is a biological response in which the body's white blood cells and their mediators protect against infections caused by external pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. This review highlights various medicinal plants, their active constituents, and their role in combating inflammation. Additionally, it discusses previous research studies supporting their anti-inflammatory potential. The review concludes that herbal remedies are natural, safe, eco-friendly, and generally free from side effects. As modern lifestyles become increasingly detached from nature and technology-driven, there is a pressing need to promote the use of herbal medicine for better health and well-being.

 Abstract

The concept of a supreme creator or almighty being in tribal societies, particularly among the Adivasis of India, differs significantly from the monotheistic or organized religious structures seen in Brahmanism, Christianity and Islam. Adivasi spiritual traditions are deeply rooted in animism, nature worship and ancestral reverence, emphasizing a decentralized belief system that does not conform to the notion of a singular "Parmeshwar" or universal god. Instead, these indigenous communities recognize and venerate local deities, spirits and sacred natural elements such as the sun, moon, rivers, forests, and mountains. Adivasi religious traditions are diverse and vary across different tribal groups. The Santhal tribe worships Thakur Jiu, while the Munda tribe believes in Sing Bonga and the Gond tribe venerates Bara Deo. These deities are often associated with natural forces and ancestral spirits, reflecting a holistic worldview where the environment is considered sacred. Rituals, festivals, and ceremonies such as Sarhul, Karam and Sohrai play a crucial role in maintaining the spiritual and ecological balance within Adivasi societies. Shamans, known as Pahans, Dehuris and Ojhas, act as intermediaries between the human and spiritual realms, conducting rituals to appease spirits and ensure community well-being. Adivasi spiritual traditions contrast sharply with organized religions, as they lack a formal priesthood, religious scriptures, and centralized religious institutions. However, due to colonial influences, religious conversions, urbanization and government policies, many Adivasis have been compelled to adopt mainstream religious practices, often at the cost of their indigenous faiths. The Sarna Dharma Recognition Movement is an ongoing effort to obtain legal recognition for tribal religious practices, ensuring their preservation and protection. Despite challenges posed by industrialization, deforestation and migration, tribal communities continue to resist cultural assimilation and reclaim their spiritual heritage through grassroots movements and legal activism. Efforts to document and revive indigenous oral traditions, protect sacred groves and promote cultural awareness have gained momentum in recent years. Recognizing and respecting Adivasi spirituality is crucial not only for cultural preservation but also for ecological sustainability and social justice. This study explores the unique aspects of Adivasi religious traditions, the impact of external forces and the ongoing struggle for recognition and revival of indigenous belief systems in India.

 Abstract

Studies of gender and its relations to resources, cultural and environmental milieu has been an important theme in the social and cultural Geography. Bodos have patriarchal society which guide social norms and cultural conditions that have resulted into a distinct subordination of relationship on the basis of gender among the Bodos. This is reflected in the heritance of property between the male and female members in the family or in the community. Heritance of property by Bodo women is confined within tangible material goods like handloom items, share in agricultural products, dresses, gold-silver ornaments, domestic animals, etc. Bodo women are deprived of attaining the intangible and valuable properties like quality higher education, land ownership, right and freedom to economic activities, right and liberty for political standouts. Such practices of the society is an outcome of patriarchy and acceptance of women as paraya dhan i.e. (else's property) leading to gender disparity and poverty in the community as a whole. Overall sustainable development can only prevail in a community if the women are privileged to equally participate in the dynamics of property inheritance.

 Abstract

ABSTACRT: forest algorithm and the Adaboost algorithm. The results of the two algorithms are based on accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The ROC curve is plotted based on the confusion matrix. The Random Forest and the Adaboost algorithms are compared and the algorithm that has the greatest accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score is considered as the best algorithm that is used to detect the fraud. UPI fraud detection is presently the most frequently occurring problem in the present world. This is due to the rise in both online transactions and e-commerce platforms. UPIfraud generally happens when the card was stolen for any of the unauthorized purposes or even when the fraudster uses the UPI information for his use. In the present world, we are facing a lot of UPI problems. To detect the fraudulent activities the UPIfraud detection system was introduced. This project aims to focus mainly on machine learning algorithms. The algorithms used are random.

 Abstract

In today's data-driven retail environment, accurately forecasting profits and understanding customer behavior are vital for strategic decision-making. This project presents an integrated AI-powered framework for profit prediction and behavioral clustering in retail, leveraging the capabilities of deep learning models. A neural network-based regression model is developed to predict retail profit using historical sales, customer, and product data. To enhance the interpretability of the model, SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) values are used to explain feature contributions, enabling actionable business insights. For customer segmentation, the project utilizes autoencoders to extract latent features from high-dimensional behavioral data, followed by clustering techniques to identify distinct customer profiles. This dual approach not only improves forecasting accuracy but also aids in personalized marketing and inventory optimization. The system is deployed using Streamlit, offering an interactive and user-friendly interface for stakeholders. The proposed solution demonstrates the potential of deep learning in transforming retail analytics through predictive modeling and intelligent customer segmentation.

 Abstract

In recent years, social media has emerged as a dominant force in shaping communication, socialization, and even education, particularly among students. With platforms like Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and WhatsApp widely used by high school and college students, questions arise about the implications of this digital shift on learning outcomes. This study investigates the relationship between social media use and academic performance. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, involving 500 students from both secondary and tertiary institutions. The findings indicate a nuanced impact--while social media can support collaborative learning and resource sharing, excessive and unregulated use is strongly correlated with distraction, procrastination, and lower academic performance. This paper explores these dimensions in detail, offering recommendations for students, educators, and institutions on how to harness social media as a tool for academic enhancement rather than a source of disruption.

 Abstract

Landmines, while effective in securing territories during warfare, pose a significant threat to military personnel even after deployment, often resulting in accidental injuries or fatalities among friendly forces. This research presents the design and implementation of an intelligent [1] RF-based landmine deactivation system aimed at preventing unintended detonations for friendly soldiers while maintaining full functionality against enemy intrusions. The system is divided into two units: a transmitter embedded in the soldier's footwear and a receiver integrated within the landmine. When a friendly soldier, equipped with the RF transmitter, enters the proximity of the landmine, the receiver detects the signal and activates a relay to disconnect the detonation mechanism. In contrast, if an enemy without a valid transmitter approaches and steps on the landmine, the system remains armed and triggers upon pressure activation. The RF communication is facilitated using 434 MHz modules along with HT12E and HT12D encoder-decoder pairs for signal transmission and reception. This low-cost, efficient system demonstrates a selective activation mechanism that significantly enhances battlefield safety for [2] friendly troops. The project lays the groundwork for future integration of encrypted communication, [3] GPS tracking, and centralized control, contributing toward the development of smarter, more humane defense technologies.

 Abstract

This paper puts forward DecentRaise, an innovative decentralized crowdfunding platform, built on blockchain technology and aimed at overcoming the very basic limitations inherent in centralized crowdfunding. Raising the seed round affords a very unique opportunity to earn money running a project whilst allowing that person to maintain a majority stake in his own company. Our implementation builds with Solidity for smart contracts, React.js for the front-end interface, and IPFS for decentralized file storage. Web3.js has been incorporated in the architecture for blockchain interaction, MetaMask for wallet integration, and ERC-20 Token Standard for the creation of campaign tokens. Key features included an automated milestone-based release mechanism for funds, decentralized voting systems for project governance, and cryptographically verified authenticity for campaigns. Performance analysis shows a shortened cost down of 62 times less than regular ones, higher than other platforms, with a seriously thought secure-level guaranteed by the immutable transaction log, as well as the distributed consensus algorithm. System 99.9% is operationally a highly decentralized unrelated system of hosting, and this hit a meaningfully higher rank of transparency and trust metrics through empirical evaluations.
