 Abstract

The world system has begun to experience an ageing population and the inaccessibility of caregivers to offer services to the individuals in the world, thus the invention of robot caregivers. It will make its judgment based on the reality that the robots will also prove to affect the caregivers and his/her role in the more automated society as a result of human bonding. It considers the ethical, emotional, social, technological, and economic nature of robotic caregiving, based on historical research. Some of the opportunities provided by robots include Paro, Pepper, Lovot, Hobbit, and Care-O-Bot, which can be implemented in the field of decreasing the degree of loneliness, enhancing the mood, and assisting professional caregivers. Nonetheless, the struggle is not in its midst to provide the moral application, emotive rationality and healthfulness, and justifiable accessibility. The large-scale integration also cannot be done due to technological and cost barriers. The reason is that the desire to substitute human care with robots is not meant to personalize and moralize the care. Otherwise, the interdisciplinary cooperation and cooperation in Policy intervention will be instrumental in the process of resulting in a compromise of automation and compassion, dignity, and the need to give actual human contact in the process of caring of the elderly as the technology of robots continues to develop.

Abstract: Background: Public sector bank mergers in India aimed at enhancing financial efficiency have sparked interest in examining financial performance indicators. Return on Equity (ROE) and Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) are critical metrics in assessing bank profitability and shareholder value. Aim: The study aimed to analyze the impact of ROE on Diluted EPS during the pre- and post-merger periods for five major Public Sector Banks (PSBs): Punjab National Bank, Canara Bank, Union Bank of India, Indian Bank, and Bank of Baroda. Methodology: This descriptive research utilized a quantitative approach, relying on secondary data sourced from annual financial reports. Regression analysis was conducted using SPSS (version 25) to examine the predictive relationship between ROE (independent variable) and EPS (dependent variable) across pre- and post-merger periods. Color-coded year markers distinguished timeframes for clarity. Results: Findings showed that for Punjab National Bank, ROE had a strong and statistically significant impact on EPS both before and after the merger. In contrast, for Canara Bank, Union Bank, Indian Bank, and Bank of Baroda, the significant pre-merger relationships diminished or became statistically insignificant post-merger. This suggests that mergers may have disrupted or weakened the predictive strength of ROE on EPS in these banks. Conclusion: ROE significantly influenced EPS in pre-merger periods across all five banks; however, this influence waned post-merger in four of them, indicating mixed outcomes of the consolidation process. Implication: The study highlights the need for policy adjustments and performance reviews post-merger to sustain financial health in PSBs.

 Abstract

This project aims to accelerate wound healing through the application of controlled micro-level electrical currents and continuous impedance monitoring. Microcurrent therapy has been shown to promote cellular migration, collagen synthesis, and angiogenesis, which are essential for tissue regeneration. An impedance sensor is integrated into the system to monitor the healing progression by measuring tissue impedance variations over time. Additionally, a web-based platform has been developed to upload and analyze wound images using a machine-learning model to determine the wound stage. This integrated approach provides both physiological (impedance) and visual (image-based) insights for accurate and continuous wound assessment.

This research paper investigates the socio-economic conditions of diamond workers in Surat, Gujarat, within the framework of the Gujarat Model of Diamond Processing. The study emphasizes the significance of Surat as the global hub for diamond cutting and polishing, employing over 800,000 workers and processing nearly 90% of the world's diamonds. Using both descriptive and analytical methods, supported by primary data, the study evaluates demographic attributes, income levels, savings behavior, education, working conditions, and socio-economic status (SES) based on the Kuppuswamy Scale. Findings reveal that the majority of workers belong to the lower-middle socio-economic class, possess low educational attainment, and face financial vulnerability despite steady employment. The paper concludes with strategic policy recommendations aimed at improving skill development, workplace welfare, and financial inclusion to ensure sustainable growth in the diamond sector.

 Abstract

Virtual Reality (VR) has emerged as a promising tool to create immersive experiences for social impact. This study examines the capacity of virtual reality (VR) as a means of creating social change. It does so by analysing a 360-degree VR documentary called "The Hidden," which specifically addresses the problem of bonded labour in India. Bonded labour, a contemporary manifestation of slavery, involves coercing individuals into working to repay debts that can persist for multiple generations. The documentary seeks to enhance awareness and elicit empathy towards this matter. The study utilises a combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies to investigate the influence of "The Hidden" on the audience's views and their inclination to combat bonded labour. A total of ninety-six individuals used Oculus Quest 2 VR headsets to watch the documentary and subsequently engaged in interviews to discuss their encounters. The data underwent analysis using linear regression to discover any noteworthy trends in the replies. The results indicate that virtual reality (VR) has the potential to greatly amplify viewers' emotional involvement and facilitate societal transformation by offering immersive, direct encounters with crucial social matters.

 Abstract

This research explores consumers' understanding and usage of sustainable digital financial services in Karnataka, India, and quantifies implications in financial literacy, environmental engagement, and usability. The study utilized a mixed-method structure with quantitative measurement, accompanied by a qualitative survey, and mathematical computation through the application of statistical analysis (T-test, Chi-square, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation). The sample included 351 respondents who were data collectors and the data came in the form of analysis.... In all, the research determined that there was regional variation in adoption, with city residents adopting more digital finance products than non-urban and rural residents, which might be because of better infrastructure and availability of digital literacy for non-urban residents. The study showed that the impacts of participants' education and age had little influence on perceived ease of use and effectiveness of sustainable digital finance services. Some reported being familiar with benefits in financial or environmental activities but did not know or were opposed to performing those behaviors on a daily.... Finally, one of the most important factors in meeting with success in developing sustainable digital finance services will be to develop targeted and complementary digital literacy services that consider how simple the sustainable digital finance service is to use.

 Abstract

The Intelligent Skincare Recommendation System is an AI-based application designed to provide personalized skincare product suggestions based on an individual's skin type and condition. The system allows users to either upload an image of their skin or manually input details such as skin type, texture, and common issues (e.g., acne, dryness, oiliness, or sensitivity). Using image processing and machine learning algorithms, the system analyzes the uploaded image to detect key skin features and classify the user's skin type. Based on this analysis, the recommendation engine suggests suitable skincare products, routines, and tips tailored to the user's specific needs. This intelligent approach helps users make informed skincare choices, reduces trial-and-error in product selection, and promotes healthier skin management through data-driven insights. The system thus combines artificial intelligence, computer vision, and dermatological knowledge to deliver a smart, user-friendly, and effective skincare recommendation solution.
