 Abstract

Architectural heritage has played a significant role in shaping traditional textile aesthetics in India. This paper examines the influence of Indian architectural designs on saree weaving, focusing on Dravidian and Hoysala architectural traditions. Using a qualitative and descriptive research approach, the study analyses how architectural elements such as gopurams, mandapas, sculpted pillars, friezes, stellate plans, and geometric mandalas are translated into woven motifs, borders, and pallu compositions. Visual documentation, field observation, and design interpretation were employed to identify architectural references within major saree-weaving regions including Kanchipuram, Dharmavaram, Gadwal, Mysore, and Ilkal. The findings reveal that Dravidian architectural influence is reflected through bold temple-roof borders, figurative motifs, and structured pallu layouts, while Hoysala inspiration appears in fine detailing, layered friezes, and precise geometric arrangements. Techniques such as jacquard weaving, korvai borders, extra-weft brocading, and CAD-based design systems enable the effective adaptation of stone architecture into textile form. The study highlights that architectural motifs are reinterpreted rather than directly replicated, allowing harmony between visual expression and fabric structure. Saree weaving thus emerges as a dynamic medium that preserves architectural vocabulary while sustaining regional identity and cultural continuity.

Generative AI is reshaping enterprise operations by enabling the automation of content generation, document summarization, code synthesis, and other unstructured data workflows. However, transitioning from experimental models to scalable, production-grade generative pipelines presents a new frontier of technical, operational, and ethical challenges. This review synthesizes current research on the architectural foundations, orchestration patterns, performance benchmarks, and governance structures required for deploying large-scale generative AI pipelines. It outlines best practices for integrating language models into enterprise infrastructure and highlights critical research gaps in model evaluation, cost optimization, human-in-the-loop oversight, and compliance. The paper also proposes a six-layer theoretical model to guide the design of end-to-end AI pipelines. By consolidating empirical findings and proposing forward-looking strategies, this review aims to equip researchers, engineers, and enterprise leaders with a comprehensive understanding of the evolving landscape of scalable generative AI workflows.

 Abstract

Background: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming diagnostic radiology, particularly in computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). While its global integration into clinical workflows continues to expand, awareness, accessibility, and practical adoption among healthcare professionals in India remain underexplored. Objective: To assess the current level of awareness, accessibility, and perception regarding AI applications in CT and MRI imaging among radiologists, radiographers, postgraduate students, and imaging technologists. Materials and Methods: A structured questionnaire comprising 12 closed-ended questions was distributed via Google Forms in november 2025. The survey targeted professionals working in radiology departments across various institutions in India. Responses were collected anonymously and analyzed to assess awareness levels, access to AI-integrated systems, and perceptions of AI's role in imaging practice. Results: The survey revealed high awareness of AI applications in medical imaging, with most participants recognizing its potential to enhance diagnostic accuracy and reduce human error. However, limited hands-on experience and a lack of formal training were reported as major barriers to adoption. Departmental access to AI tools and infrastructure varied significantly across institutions. Conclusion: While awareness of AI's role in CT and MRI imaging is increasing, practical implementation remains limited due to inadequate training and infrastructure. Bridging these gaps will require formal integration of AI modules into radiology curricula, institutional support for AI adoption, and targeted training programs to build competency in AI-assisted imaging.

 Abstract

Millets are ancient cereal grains that play a crucial role in food and nutritional security, particularly in developing countries due to their adaptability to harsh agro-climatic conditions and rich nutritional profile. Among the diverse millet varieties, finger millet (Eleusine coracana) and kodo millet (Paspalum scrobiculatum) are of significant importance because of their high content of bioactive phytoconstituents and health-promoting properties. The present abstract provides a comparative study of the phytoconstituents and characterization of finger millet and kodo millet, emphasizing their nutritional, biochemical, and functional attributes. Finger millet is widely known for its exceptional mineral content, especially calcium, iron, and magnesium, along with a high proportion of dietary fiber. Its phytochemical composition is dominated by phenolic acids, flavonoids, tannins, and phytates, which are mainly concentrated in the seed coat. These phytoconstituents exhibit strong antioxidant activity, contributing to the prevention of oxidative stress-related disorders. The presence of complex carbohydrates and resistant starch in finger millet results in a low glycemic index, making it particularly beneficial for diabetic individuals. Additionally, finger millet proteins contain essential amino acids such as methionine, which is often limited in other cereals, enhancing its nutritional value. Kodo millet, on the other hand, is characterized by a rich profile of polyphenols, flavonoids, and tannins, along with a high content of dietary fiber and resistant starch. Important phenolic compounds such as gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, and syringic acid contribute to its strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and potential anti-cancer properties.

 Abstract

The enactment of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in Uttarakhand in February 2024 marks a groundbreaking legal reform in the socio-legal fabric of modern India. The legislation aims to replace religious personal laws with a secular framework governing areas such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, and live-in relationships, and it applies to all citizens, regardless of religious background. While it was hailed by many as a significant move toward gender justice and legal equality, it also faced criticism for its potential to infringe upon religious freedoms. This paper examines the legal reforms, assesses the societal impact, and discusses the future implications of the UCC, utilizing both primary and secondary data sources. It explores how the UCC can serve as a model for other states, its impact on gender equality, and the challenges of implementation.

 Abstract

Abstract-- According to the Ayurvedic system of Tridosha, based on the concepts of motion, transformation, and maintaining a stable form, the body can be divided into three components: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Though these concepts had a metaphysical dimension in the past, the emerging field of systems biology lends these concepts a scientific expression. This article explores the physiological explanations related to Tridosha: Vata regulates ion channels, cell movement, and signal flow in cells; Pitta regulates enzymatic reactions and energy production in the body through the mitochondria and metabolic functions; Kapha regulates the provision of immunity to the body through the maintenance of the extracellular matrix. This article emphasizes that Tridosha comprises the essential universal regulatory theme of maintaining the body's homeostasis. It combines traditional explanations of Tridosha with the breakthroughs associated with genomics and proteomics research related to the genotypes Prakriti-CYP2C19-EGLN1. Merging these insights with the traditional medical understanding will deliver personalized, predictive healthcare programs.
