 Abstract

This study brings forth LIVEST-AI, an AI-based mobile app developed to improve productivity and decision-making in livestock farming by utilizing five interconnected management modules AI Feed Formula Generation, Breeding Plan Generation, Animal Health & Treatment, Farm Layout & Housing Generation and Productivity & Profit Forecasting. The system was implemented following the Agile Scrum approach for the integration of constant feedback and user-oriented design. An assessment of the system's performance using the System Usability Scale (SUS)with eleven (11) of livestock farmers and veterinarians has been conducted, resulting in an overall SUS score of 76.42 (Good to Excellent Usability). Performance indicators further indicated the high effectiveness of the system, scores being Strategic score = 4.55 (Very Satisfactory), specifically on AI recommendation accuracy & decision support. Comparison test results indicate that LIVEST-AI is more efficient and consistent than conventional manual process, with high data reliability achieved. Findings indicate that minor issues related to internet connectivity and digital literacy aside, the application is very well accepted, functional and accurate, providing a promising technology-enabled pathway towards sustainable data-driven livestock management and increased farm resilience.

 Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) progressively performs tasks formerly considered uniquely human, including complex reasoning, creative production, and adaptive learning. These advances challenge longstanding discrepancies between artificial systems and human minds, raising questions about consciousness, cognition, and personal identity. This paper discussed whether AI could possess a mind or consciousness and what implications follow for human identity. Drawing on philosophical theories of mind--dualism, materialism, functionalism, phenomenology--and contemporary debates about artificial consciousness, the present paper analysed conceptual and metaphysical limits to AI mentality. Complementing this, psychological research into human cognition, memory, embodiment, and creativity illustrates how human minds function in ways that resist simple computational analogy. Recent empirical studies (2023-2025) demonstrate that large language models exhibit behaviors analogous to human cognitive tendencies, while also revealing limits in self-coherence, embodiment, and experiential grounding. By comparing these findings, it may be argued that AI challenges but does not dissolve the concept of human uniqueness. Human identity, understood as embodied, historically continuous, and socially embedded, remains distinct even as AI reshapes how humans understand themselves. The paper concludes that identity must be reconstructed in the age of AI not through exclusion of machines, but through recognition of embodiment, vulnerability, and subjective consciousness as central to human selfhood.

 Abstract

Acne vulgaris is a common inflammatory skin disorder involving comedones, papules, pustules, nodules, and scars, affecting over 80% of teenagers and persisting into adulthood in some cases. While not life-threatening, it often causes scarring and significant psychological distress. This case study highlights the effectiveness of Constitutional Homoeopathic remedy in treating Acne vulgaris and enhancing the Quality of Life of the patient. A 25-year-old female with a 10-year history of facial acne presented with blackish nodular eruptions. Detailed case-taking identified characteristic physical and mental symptoms. The totality of symptoms was made and repertorisation was done with Zomoeo pro software. Global Acne Grading System score and Dermatology Life Quality Index score were recorded at baseline and monthly follow-ups, with series of photographic documentation. The MONARCH criteria assessed the causal relationship between constitutional remedy and the clinical improvement. Based on repertorial result and referring various Materia medica, Natrum muriaticum 1M was prescribed followed by sacrum lactum for one month. The same prescription repeated for next three months. The Global Acne Grading System score improved from 16 to 0 and the Dermatology Life Quality Index score from 13 to 0 with complete resolution of eruptions over the cheeks and no recurrence seen during treatment. The MONARCH score increased from 4 to 11. The photographic evidence was well-documented. This case demonstrates that carefully selected constitutional remedy can effectively restore both the physical manifestations and the psychological burden associated with chronic dermatological conditions. While a single case cannot establish definitive proof of efficacy, the favourable clinical outcome substantiated by sequential photographic documentation provides supporting evidence to Constitutional homoeopathic treatment as a valuable therapeutic approach for acne vulgaris.

 Abstract

An attitude of educators significantly influences the successful implementation of the educational syllabus. The attitude of the teacher plays a crucial role in the implementation of inclusive education. This study explored the attitude of in-service educators with respect to inclusive education. The study was conducted among in-service educators in the Nagpur Urban area, including both males and females. The Attitude with regard to Inclusive Education scale, constructed by Vishal Sood and Arti Anand, was utilized to gather data. A total of 60 in-service educators from various high schools in Nagpur were analyzed for this study. The findings revealed a notable non-equivalent attitude inclination among male and female high school in-service educators, as female in-service educators demonstrated a more favorable attitude toward inclusive education than their male counterparts.

 Abstract

In the digital age, university students are increasingly immersed in online environments that reward self-promotion, constant connectivity, and social validation. This study investigates how narcissistic traits--specifically grandiose and vulnerable narcissism--relate to psychological distress, with digital overload (nomophobia and social media addiction) acting as a mediating factor. Drawing on data from 200 university students, we employed the N2 Scale to measure narcissism, DASS-21 for psychological distress, NPPT for personality prototypes, and IPDE screening for borderline features. Results indicate that vulnerable narcissism is a strong predictor of distress, particularly when mediated by compulsive digital behaviours. Furthermore, personality prototypes such as overcontrolled and undercontrolled styles, along with borderline traits, significantly moderate the strength of these relationships. The findings suggest that digital overload is not merely a behavioural issue but a psychological pathway shaped by deeper personality structures. This research contributes to the emerging field of digital psychopathology and offers practical implications for mental health interventions tailored to personality profiles in academic settings.

 Abstract

Education always engaged a high place in the society. It was a preliminary to one's starting his vocation as a student and to acquire Education (vidya). A much regimented life was laid down by the ancient digests for students receiving brahmanical education. By the time a boy attained the age of sixteen years, he was expected to be the master of all sciences and arts. It is held in the Nitisataka that a man devoid of education and wisdom is nothing but a beast. Different institutions had put in their efforts to educate the people during the ancient period. Temples, brahmapuris and agrah?ra villages were the main centers of education consisting of poets, philosophers, disputants and orators. Rulers granted lands and some gifts for the maintenance of Vidy?mandirs and agrahar?s. While the instruction in the agraharas was confined to the study of the V?das and other traditional Sanskrit learning, in the temple provision was made for the study of several branches of knowledge including fine arts. Educational institution (matha) is a monastic establishment and was meant to propagate different religious creeds of Hinduism. The rulers and the gurus learnt not only Veda Vidhya but also learnt science education in ancient times.
