Published: July 2024

The present research paper titled, “Centennial Libraries in Mumbai: with special reference to Sarvajanik Vachanalay (Public Library), Kalyan, intends to study how it helped in social change and development in the ancient port city Kalyan. Sarvajanik Vachanalay (Public Library) Kalyan was established on 3rd February, 1864, with the efforts of Rao.i Sadashiv Moreshwar Sathe. Rao. Sadashiv Sathe initially established this Vachanalay (Library), at his own place and named it
as ‘Native Vachanalay (library).’ In 1884, it was shifted to Dak (Lat Veredus, Veredius)ii Bungalow building and was renamed as ‘General Library’. Later inspired by Lokmanya Tilak (The great leader of Indian National Congress who followed Extremist ideology, one of the tripartite commonly known as Bal amongst the Lal, Bal, and Pal), it got its todays name i.e., ‘Sarvajanik
Vachanalay Kalyan.’ The occasion was blessed by a great author of Marathi Literature N. C. Kelkar, who is fondly known as ‘Tatyasaheb Kelkar.’ Initially Sarvajanik Vachanalay Kalyan was the center, responsible in the social, economic, and political development in Kalyan. Located at the nodal center of the city, along with its technical growth as a library it has also proved as a
center for new thoughts towards the independence of India. It has been a prominent place for the research scholars, for authors and writers, for those who
wanted to inculcate the development the thoughts of Renaissance in the Kalyan city and Bombay (Mumbai) in general. As we see Bombay has witnessed many new beginnings of culture and thinking, similarly Sarvajanik Vachanalay Kalyan has been the center for the same. Our former President of India, Hon’ble APJ Abdul Kalam wanted India to always get acquainted with modern technology and implement the same. Therefore, the Sarvajanik Vachanalay Kalyan
1 introduced the system of e-book in the Vachanalay. The book titled ‘Subhe Kalyan,’ authored by Dr. Vivekanand Godbole was the first such book which was converted into e-book.

Published: July 2024

Abstract-
Businesses use a variety of strategies to support the well-being and health of their workers in a variety of industries, with the least amount of work-life conflict being a major factor. Organizational issues are the primary cause of work-life conflicts, despite the fact that there are many other contributing elements. The present investigation assesses the review on correlation between work-life balance and organizational culture. Employers with perks and rules in place tend to provide their staff with a better work-life balance; but, if staff members do not utilize the policies, the overall balance will suffer. The study on the organizational predictors of work-life conflict among police officers in the Indian state of Haryana has been the main goal of this research. The main focus will be on job overload, role ambiguity, and lengthy working hours, along with the police demographic sample.

Urbanization and Its Environmental Impact on Rangareddy's Peri-Urban Landscape: Insights from Secondary Data
Authors: - Md. Muzaffar , - Dr Mohd Akhter Ali
Published: July 2024

This study investigates the dynamics of urbanization and its environmental implications in peri-urban areas of Rangareddy, focusing on key regions including Shamshabad, Manikonda, Gachibowli, and Shadnagar over the past two decades. Through a comprehensive analysis of land use changes, environmental assessments, socio-economic dynamics, and sustainability challenges, the research highlights significant transformations driven by rapid urban expansion.
The findings reveal a notable shift in land use patterns characterized by a substantial increase in residential and commercial developments, leading to a decline in agricultural lands and natural ecosystems. This urban sprawl is fueled by population growth, economic activities, and infrastructural developments, reflecting broader urbanization trends observed across Indian cities.
Environmental assessments underscore critical challenges associated with urban growth, including deteriorating air and water quality attributed to increased industrial activities and vehicular emissions. The reduction in green spaces exacerbates environmental concerns such as heat island effects and biodiversity loss, necessitating urgent interventions to integrate sustainable land management practices into urban planning strategies.
Demographic shifts in peri-urban Rangareddy reveal accelerated population growth rates, surpassing national averages. While urbanization has brought enhanced access to amenities and economic opportunities, it has also exacerbated socio-economic disparities among residents. Addressing these disparities requires inclusive development strategies that ensure equitable access to resources and opportunities, fostering social cohesion and community resilience.
The study identifies critical sustainability challenges, including inadequate infrastructure, water scarcity, and inefficient waste management systems. These challenges underscore the imperative for effective policy interventions and governance frameworks aimed at promoting environmental conservation and enhancing urban resilience. Policy recommendations emphasize the need for integrated urban planning approaches that prioritize green infrastructure development, pollution control measures, and community engagement initiatives.
Looking forward, future research should focus on longitudinal studies to monitor urbanization trends and evaluate the effectiveness of policy interventions in mitigating environmental impacts and enhancing socio-economic conditions in peri-urban areas. Long-term strategies should emphasize adaptive governance mechanisms, stakeholder engagement, and capacity building to support sustainable urban development goals.

Analysis of Section 85 & 86 of the IPC [ Sec 23 & 24 of BNS] with case law analysis
Authors: - Rashida Husain
Published: July 2024

This research paper examines the legal principles surrounding the defense of intoxication under Indian Penal Code (IPC) Sections 85 and 86 (now Sections 23 and 24 under Bhartiya Nyay Sanhita, 2023). These sections distinguish between involuntary and voluntary intoxication in criminal acts, specifying the conditions under which an accused can claim intoxication as a defense. This analysis is contextualized through the case of Basdev vs. State of Pepsu,1956 wherein the appellant, under voluntary intoxication, committed homicide. The paper traces historical perspectives on intoxication as a defense, scrutinizes the application of intent and knowledge in criminal liability, and critically evaluates the court’s rationale in affirming the conviction under Section 302 IPC for murder, rather than reducing it to culpable homicide not amounting to murder under Section 304 IPC. The findings underscore that voluntary intoxication does not absolve criminal liability if the accused possesses sufficient awareness of their actions and the consequences. The study concludes with an affirmation of the Supreme Court’s judgment, emphasizing the significance of recklessness and behavioral assessment in applying Section 86 IPC.

Authors: - Karren Vitalicio de Lara , - Maksuda Sultana
Published: July 2024

It provides for the development and evaluation of a web-based application meant to aid in the identification of rice crop stress and possible mitigation measures. Traditional methods have been used, but this approach should replace the manual classification that is time-consuming, tedious, and complex, as it leverages advanced machine learning algorithms to analyze images of rice crops, resulting in the accurate detection of various stress factors such as nutrient deficiencies, pest’ infestations, and water stress. In order to ensure the system has high accuracy and reliability for real-world situations, training and testing were conducted using an inclusive dataset that contained labeled images that featured different kinds of stressed rice crops. Also, besides the classification of stress, the app recommends specific advice for particular stress types, such as fertilization, pest control, and irrigation techniques. The recommendations are generated from a massive database with expert agricultural tips and current research to ensure that they give accurate and practical solutions. The usability and effectiveness of the application were assessed through field trials with local farmers and agricultural experts. Results indicated a significant improvement in the early detection and management of crop stress, leading to increased yields and resource efficiency. This web application aims to empower farmers with timely and accurate information, foster sustainable agricultural practices, and enhance food security.
Directed Lending System in India: A Review
Authors: - Shanu Tyagi , - Neha Goyal
Published: July 2024

Directed Lending has grown in significance since the nation's banks were nationalized. Commercial banks' Directed lending quotas have given birth to a significant instrument for distributing capital to self-employment programs, small businesses, and farmers. Priority sector requirements mandate that scheduled commercial banks lend forty percent of their total loan volume to the designated directed sectors in accordance with RBI directions. Over the years, the RBI has implemented numerous modifications to the standards for Directed Lending. The issue of NPA is not exclusive to Indian public sector banks; it is prevalent across the whole banking sector. A significant proportion of non-performing loans in Indian banks originated from credit to the directed sector under the influence of officials in charge of government. Had banks adequately supervised their credits, the issue of bad debt might have been controlled, if not eradicated. To determine how effective and efficient banks were, the majority of researchers relied on the DEA model. Fixed and random effect model, t test, Tobit regression, CCR, BCC are used to get the desired result. It is also found in different studies that there is one major issue, which is NPA. In this study, we try to find out the reasons and suggestions regarding NPA.

Image of the Farmer in Bendre-kuvempu Poetry
Authors: - VIJAYA
Published: July 2024

Another occupation belonging to this line is agriculture. The proverb that ``Meti Vidya is better than Koti Vidya'' is an example of the importance of agriculture in the society. The epithets of breadwinner, mother's first son are the epithets for the farmer who is engaged in agriculture. All these became adjectives related to agriculture and the farmer. Beyond this beautiful face, there is another dark face. That is the poor legacy of the farmer. There are no examples of an Indian farmer having a strong economic backbone despite being a breadwinner.
Agricultural activity has not become profitable for the farmer due to lack of rainfall, lack of capital, broker-centric markets. Examples of farmers committing suicide in frustration due to the situation of sowing debt and growing distress are a natural phenomenon in recent times. A society that worships the farmer as a 'giver', on the other hand, is blind to the plight of farmers. An overview of how Bendre and Kuvempu saw this contrast is useful in understanding the Indian peasantry.

Published: July 2024

This cross-sectional study investigates the levels of happiness among Generation X, Generation Y, and Generation Z, focusing primarily on Generation X (born between 1965 and 1980), Generation Y (born between 1981 and 1996), and Generation Z (born from 1997 onward). The study encompasses both male and female participants, with a total sample size of 388 individuals. Of these, 196 participants belong to Generation Z, 158 to Generation Y, and 34 to Generation X. Statistical analysis was conducted using One-Way ANOVA, revealing a statistically significant difference in happiness scores among the three generational groups, F(2, 385) = 26.805, p < .001. Post hoc comparisons utilizing Tukey's Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) test indicated significant variations in happiness scores between Generation X and both Generation Z (mean difference = -0.744, p < .001) and Generation Y (mean difference = -0.661, p < .001). However, there was no statistically significant difference in happiness scores between Generation Z and Generation Y (p = .329). These findings suggest that Generation X reports significantly higher levels of happiness compared to both Generation Z and Generation Y. Conversely, Generation Z and Generation Y did not differ significantly in their reported happiness levels. The implications of these generational differences in happiness underscore the importance of understanding and addressing varying factors that contribute to well-being across different age cohorts. The study contributes to the existing literature on generational happiness by highlighting distinct patterns across Generation X, Generation Y, and Generation Z. It provides insights into how socio-cultural and economic factors, shaped by historical contexts and technological advancements, may influence subjective well-being among different generations. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for developing targeted interventions and policies aimed at promoting happiness and mental well-being across diverse generational groups. Future research could delve deeper into exploring the specific factors underlying these happiness disparities, such as economic stability, social relationships, and technological adaptation, to provide more nuanced insights into generational happiness trends. Additionally, longitudinal studies could track changes in happiness levels within each generation over time, offering valuable insights into the evolving nature of happiness across the lifespan and across different societal contexts.

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a very rare vascular tumour, with fewer than 500 cases described worldwide. Diagnosis is often multifocal or at an advanced stage with non-specific symptoms. Pathological examination by biopsy is crucial to confirm the diagnosis. The liver is the most frequent site of predilection, followed by the lungs and bones.
The etiology of hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is poorly understood and is not linked to chronic liver disease, with a heterogeneous and unpredictable course depending on the individual. Given the rarity of this cancer, there are no established treatment standards for this type of tumor of intermediate malignancy. Surgical resection is performed in the case of unifocal disease, and orthotopic liver transplantation remains an option in the case of multifocal and/or unresectable disease, with high survival rates and disease free survival (DFS). Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and chemotherapy/radiotherapy regimens are other treatment possibilities. However, surveillance may be proposed for asymptomatic patients with a slow progression.
We report the case of a patient followed for a multifocal EHE with pulmonary metastases, discovered following pain in the right hypochondrium. Morphological and immunohistochemical examination confirmed the diagnosis of hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma. Given the moderate symptoms, surveillance was recommended for our patient with a good clinical course and radiological stability for 3 years.

Authors: - Rachid Ejjami , - Khaoula Boussalham
Published: July 2024

This integrative literature review investigates the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on supply chain management, addressing the pressing need for efficiency and robustness through AI-driven predictive maintenance, machine learning (ML), and decision support systems. By examining current literature, the study highlights AI's potential to automate and revolutionize supply chain operations, enhancing speed, accuracy, and risk management capabilities while identifying significant challenges such as bias mitigation, algorithmic transparency, and data privacy. The methodology involves a comprehensive review of scholarly articles, reports, and academic publications, focusing on AI applications in predictive maintenance, risk mitigation, and decision-making processes. The analysis reveals significant improvements in operational efficiency and accuracy due to AI, alongside concerns about biases, transparency, and implementation issues. The findings confirm AI's transformative potential in supply chain management but emphasize the necessity for ongoing supervision, regular audits, and the development of AI models capable of detecting and rectifying operational anomalies. The study proposes creating roles such as AI Supply Chain Oversight Officer (AISCO), AI Supply Chain Compliance Officer (AISCCO), and AI Supply Chain Quality Assurance Officer (AISQAO) to ensure responsible AI utilization, maintaining the integrity and efficiency of supply chain operations while addressing implementation challenges. The review concludes that AI is promising for transforming supply chains; however, careful implementation is crucial to uphold operational integrity and resilience. Future research should prioritize longitudinal studies to evaluate AI's long-term impact, focus on addressing implementation concerns, and ensure fair and transparent integration of AI technologies. These findings have significant implications for practice and policy, underscoring the need for robust frameworks and regulatory measures to guide the effective use of AI in supply chains.
Investigating The Relationship Between Sleep Quality, Adherence to Proper Sleep Hygiene Practices, And Academic Performance Among Students.
Authors: - Resham Lalwani , - Sushmitha M
Published: July 2024

In this correlational study, the relationship between sleep quality, sleep hygiene, and academic performance among individuals aged 17- 24 years was investigated (200) utilizing correlation. Descriptive statistics showed normal distributions for Academic Performance, Sleep Quality, and Sleep Hygiene scores. Spearman’s rho correlation analyses showed a weak negative correlation between Academic Performance and Sleep Quality (ρ = -0.184, p = 0.009), proposing that higher Sleep Quality is related to slightly lower Academic Performance. Contrarily, no significant correlation was discovered between Academic Performance and Sleep Hygiene (ρ = -0.060, p = 0.393), suggesting that sleep hygiene practices alone do not affect academic outcomes. A moderate positive correlation was seen between Sleep Quality and Sleep Hygiene (ρ = 0.484, p < 0.001), underscoring that good sleep hygiene led to higher Sleep Quality. These results emphasize the complex nature of the relation between sleep-related factors and academic performance, proposing the influence of multifaceted variables beyond sleep on academic outcomes. The study suggests comprehensive approaches combine various factors to optimize both academic performance and overall well-being. Future research should explore additional variables and employ longitudinal designs to elucidate causality and refine interventions aimed at advancement of sleep and academic performance.
