Assessment of Biochemical Risk Factors of Coronary Artery Disease in North and South Indian population
Authors: - Shashwat Singh , - Suchit Swaroop
Published: January 2025

Coronary artery disease (CAD) in India is closely linked to elevated body mass index (BMI), dyslipidemia, and metabolic risk factors. Studies from Northern India, including Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir, show high obesity prevalence, especially in rural and tribal populations, with low HDL
and borderline triglyceride levels. Advanced lipid markers like oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) and small dense LDL (sdLDL) are more effective in predicting premature CAD than traditional markers. In Southern India, particularly in Kerala and Andhra Pradesh, similar trends of elevated BMI, dyslipidemia, and gender-specific risks are observed, with associations between abdominal obesity, high cholesterol, and low HDL.
Additionally, epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (LpPLA2) activity are identified as independent CAD predictors. Both regions share common risk factors, exacerbated by urbanization and changing lifestyles, highlighting the need for targeted public health interventions to manage CAD risk factors effectively.

Authors: - Megha S Arali , - Yashoda K , - Bhavani P , - Tulasi
Published: January 2025

The uncommon hereditary autosomal recessive heterogeneous neurodevelopmental illness known as Joubert syndrome is characterized by cerebral vermis malformation and mostly manifests as molar tooth sign, hypotonia, and developmental delay. In addition to the CNS, JS can impact other systems that are referred to Joubert . All illnesses that show the Molar tooth indication on brain imaging are classified as JSRDs (Joubert syndrome related disorders). The primary cause of JS is abnormalities in the cilium called cilium aberrations, an organelle involved in organogenesis that serves as a hub for signals. We describe a boy infant born one month and fifteen days ago who had MRI imaging evidence of MTS. Pediatricians and neurologists must work together to detect and treat disorders in their early stages in order to prevent any serious abnormalities.

Authors: - Abdalla M. Khattab , - Hany Sallam , - Ehab Shafie
Published: January 2025

In the nuclear field, software-based systems are of increasing importance to safety for both research reactors and Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) as their use is increasing in both newly installed and refurbished old facilities. These software-based systems are used in safety systems, such as the reactor protection systems, and safety-related applications, such as some functions of the process control systems and the monitoring systems. Taking into account the criticality and severity of such systems, these systems are known as safety-critical software systems.
The reliability of safety-critical software is crucial for ensuring nuclear safety. Reliability is one of the most important requirements of software-based systems. For safety-critical software systems, it is not enough to depend on testing to ensure that the system will not fail and if it failed, it will fail-safe. Although defence-in-depth (DiD) strategy is used in designing and developing many systems in the nuclear field to ensure the fail-safe of these systems, this strategy is still not used in developing safety-critical software systems used in NPPs and research reactors. This paper proposes a new software fault-tolerant methodology based on using the DiD strategy. The proposed methodology is a novel technique to ensure software safety.

Authors: - Mannat Dhodi
Published: January 2025

The intricate interplay between mental health and menstrual regularity has garnered increasing attention in reproductive and mental health research. This study explores the impact of stress, anxiety, and broader mental health conditions on menstrual health, focusing on the hormonal and physiological mechanisms underpinning these relationships. The menstrual cycle, a complex biological process regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, is influenced by stress-induced disruptions from the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Chronic stress and anxiety are shown to alter hormone levels, leading to menstrual irregularities, including shortened or prolonged cycles, dysmenorrhea, and amenorrhea.
A comprehensive literature review highlights significant findings, including the effects of cortisol on reproductive hormones, the role of progesterone in anxiety, and the bidirectional nature of mental and menstrual health. Irregular cycles, early menarche, and menstrual pain are identified as predictors of mental health issues, such as depression, PTSD, and anxiety. Additionally, lifestyle factors like diet, sleep, and exercise mediate this relationship, underscoring the need for holistic healthcare approaches.
This study emphasizes the importance of integrated care models that address both mental and menstrual health, advocating for stress-reduction strategies, individualized pharmacotherapy, and inclusive research frameworks. The findings also call for more intersectional studies to understand how social, cultural, and demographic factors shape these interactions. Ultimately, this research underscores the critical need for a multidisciplinary and inclusive approach to women's health, offering actionable insights for clinicians, policymakers, and individuals to improve health outcomes and quality of life.

Published: January 2025

In this work, automatic counting of the parking spaces on behalf of a vehicle is detected using OpenCV. This open-source computer vision library detects and tracks the parking spaces used and unoccupied in real time. The system feeds live videotape from a camera mounted in the parking lot and applies image processing styles to identify vehicles. The crucial approach is grounded on, originally, background deduction for determining if the moving Objects (buses ) are present, followed by figure discovery and morphological processing for bounding the presence of buses in the matching areas of the parking spaces.[1]

Following the discovery of vehicles in the terrain the system develops a floorplan of the vacuity of parking spots and checks if the parking spots are in use. Each of the spaces is determined in advance in the system and when a vehicle is linked to be in a space the state of the space is changed to" engaged" and space is set to" available. The state of each parking space is in real time and real-time information about their vacuity is given. This system, besides saving time, also contributes to parking operations becoming much more effective by reducing business backups and directly guiding vehicles to an available spot in a short time.[2]

The presented result leverages the power of OpenCV's image processing and object discovery to make an automated, robust, scalable, and scalable platform for parking operations. Because of its real-time monitoring along with its stoner-friendly interface, this system is an effective useful tool to be espoused in small-scale parking lots or large parking lots, optimizing the parking space and the whole process of parking. likewise, it is also a pledge for its farther development, similar in combination with mobile operations, in which machine literacy models may be used, and the perpetration of innovative discovery and tracking functionalities.[4]

Relative Education and Stated Son Preference: An exploratory study over NFHS rounds
Authors: - Rakhi Saha , - Arijita Dutta
Published: January 2025

Although existing literature explores the determinants of stated son preference (SSP), the role of relative education between a dyad, representing the power dynamics of decision–making within the household, remains understudied. Utilizing logistic regression with time and state fixed effects on pooled unit–level data from NFHS 3, 4, and 5 rounds, the study reveals that Indian women who are more educated than their husbands are less likely to report a preference for sons. Conversely, women with more educated husbands are more inclined to express a higher SSP. Additionally, our findings suggest that this effect is not mediated by relative occupation. Greater relative education within the couple may offer women better economic independence, and withstand social and economic pressures more effectively than their absolute education.

Published: January 2025

Manasika prakriti, a concept rooted in ayurveda, offers a holistic approach to mental wellbeing by understanding individual psychological constitutions. It acknowledges that mental health is not solely determined by external factors but is also influenced by inherent psychological traits. This approach emphasizes the interplay of mind, body, and environment in maintaining equilibrium.
At its core, manasika prakriti categorizes individuals into distinct psychological types based on inherent qualities known as gunas: sattva (clarity, harmony), rajas (activity, passion), and tamas (inertia, darkness). These gunas manifest in various combinations within individuals, shaping their personalities, behaviours, and mental states. Understanding one's predominant guna or combination of gunas provides insights into their unique psychological makeup and susceptibility to mental imbalances.

A Study of the Feminist Voice in the Post-colonial works of Kamala Das
Authors: - Neelam
Published: January 2025

The postcolonial era in feminism emerged as a reaction to standard feminist ideologies. Kamala Das aspired to be a voice for women who were not part of the Western feminist discourse. In India, feminism has been interpreted in diverse ways. Kamala Das is recognized as one of the most prominent Indian poets of the postcolonial era and a pioneer of the feminist movement in Indian English poetry.

Das’s poetry addresses the struggles of women in a male-dominated society, highlighting the persistent inferior status of women compared to men. The first wave of feminism focused on activism for women’s rights, including voting, education, and employment, as well as marriage laws and middle-class women’s issues. Sarah Gamble, in her book The Routledge Companion to Feminism and Post-Feminism, highlights the advent of second-wave feminism, which began in the early 1960s in the United States and later spread globally. Third-wave feminism, emerging in the 1990s, embraced diverse identities and broadened feminist discourse. As a feminist poet, Kamala Das’s works portray the plight of women within traditional Indian society. She candidly depicts the suffering, humiliation, and patriarchal oppression women endure. Her poems, drawn from personal experiences, resonate universally and challenge societal norms about women’s roles.

The National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) marks a transformative shift in India's education system, advocating for a holistic and integrated learning approach to develop well-rounded individuals. This study examines the innovative framework introduced by NEP 2020, which critiques traditional rote learning methods, summative assessments, and inadequate evaluation processes. The research uses a qualitative methodology to analyse policy documents and integrate insights from global educational reforms. Thematic analysis reveals the interconnectedness of competency-based assessments, formative evaluations, and 360-degree reporting mechanisms in promoting holistic education. The findings highlight NEP 2020's potential to address gaps in India's education system by emphasizing equity, inclusivity, and skill-oriented learning. However, significant challenges, such as resource limitations, the need for capacity building, and alignment with stakeholder expectations, hinder effective implementation. Recommendations to overcome these obstacles include enhancing community participation, strengthening implementation frameworks, and raising awareness among educators and parents. Ultimately, the study emphasizes NEP 2020's capacity to redefine India's education landscape by fostering an equitable and inclusive system that meets modern societal and economic demands. It contributes actionable strategies for bridging the gap between policy and practice, aiming to ensure meaningful and sustainable reform in the educational domain in the country.

Higher education is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by the need to meet the challenges of a rapidly evolving global society. Traditional teaching methods, often characterized by passive learning and rote memorization, are increasingly being scrutinized for their inability to foster critical thinking, creativity, and adaptability—skills essential for thriving in the 21st century. In response, transformative teaching methods have emerged as a paradigm shift in educational practices, promising to revolutionize how knowledge is imparted, acquired, and applied. These methods emphasize active engagement, collaborative learning, and the integration of real-world challenges into the academic experience, aiming to cultivate not just intellectual growth but also personal and social development. The implications of transformative teaching methods extend beyond the classroom. By fostering critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and a commitment to lifelong learning, these approaches prepare students to navigate and contribute meaningfully to a world characterized by uncertainty and rapid change. Furthermore, transformative teaching aligns with the broader mission of higher education to not only impart knowledge but also inspire innovation, ethical leadership, and societal impact. In this paper, an attempt has been made to explore the various dimensions of transformative teaching methods in higher education, examining their theoretical foundations, practical applications, and measurable outcomes. The introduction of transformative teaching heralds a new era in education—one where learning is not just a transfer of knowledge but a catalyst for holistic growth and social progress.
