To improve DNS security and stop attacks like DNS spoofing and cache poisoning, Linux hosts must install Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC). The main goal of this project is to set up a Linux server to use DNSSEC, which uses cryptographic signatures and key management to enable secure DNS resolutions. It will examine how to configure both authoritative and recursive resolvers, automate key rollover procedures, and sign DNS zones. In order to guarantee minimal damage while preserving a high level of security, performance factors such as system latency and resource utilization will also be examined. The study will also assess how well it integrates with contemporary security frameworks and technologies, offering a thorough manual for setting up DNSSEC in cloud and enterprise settings. Establishing best practices for smooth, effective, and secure DNS operations is the ultimate objective.

Abstract Replacement of fossil resources demands cost-effective and technically feasible solutions. Renewable carbon sources from lignocellulosic biomasses are among the effective options. Lignocellulosic wastes and agricultural waste materials contain multiple sugars. Large quantities of lignocellulosic wastes generated from agricultural residues, agro industrial practices are generally pollute the environment. This environmental waste can be minimized by converting them into valuable products. The aim of this study is more towards environmental friendly solutions by transforming the lignocellulosic waste into valuable material which improves and upgrades technology for waste management and minimization. Eco-friendly and economical adsorbents are desirable for removing pollutants from the environment. Production of natural adsorbents involves the use of waste from agricultural product which makes them cost effective and eco friendly. In the present study the glucose and sucrose were adsorbed on Prosopis Juliflora Green Carbon (PJGC) and desorbed in water and ethanol. This method can be suggested to fractionate the glucose and sucrose from lignocellulosic wastes. The adsorbent was charecterised by FT-IR and BET surface area studies. the maximum adsorption of glucose and sucrose on PJGC as analysed by adsoption studies in relation to contact time, pH, temperature, concentration and adsorbent dosage. The stability of glucose and sucrose on PJGC was determined by desorption studies using water and ethanol.

This research illustrated, pesticides are chemical compounds that are used to kill pests, including insects, fungi and unwanted plants (weeds). Impact of selected pesticides on enzyme activity of ?-glucosidase and cellulase enzymes in soil of Farrukhabad region (U.P.). Soil were collected in summer season (June 2022) from Farrukhabad region viz., Kaimganj, Amritpur and Farrukhabad tahsil. Soil microbial diverseness is indispensible to maintain functional change and enzyme mediated critical soil process that detoxify soil from environmental pollutants like pesticides, due to excessive use of pesticides viz., Cypermethrin, Endosulfan and Mancozeb controlling the insects. The present study, India was carried out to assess the impact of different concentration of the pesticides. Results observed that the impact of selected pesticides on soil enzyme activity feable decreases while with out pesticides enzyme activity of ?-glucosidase and cellulase increases in selected soil.

 Abstract

This study explores the complex interplay of organizational, personal, societal, and technological factors influencing the work-life balance (WLB) of women faculty in rural higher education institutions (HEIs) in Konaseema district, Andhra Pradesh, India. Through purposive sampling, qualitative research was conducted using data gathered from 10 semi-structured interviews with women faculty in these institutions. Institutional challenges such as excessive workloads, rigid policies, lack of flexible work arrangements, and insufficient institutional support contribute significantly to job-related stress, consistent with the Spillover Theory. Additionally, gender and caste biases restrict leadership opportunities and contribute to pay disparities, further intensifying WLB struggles. Role overload, where women juggle professional and domestic responsibilities, exacerbates these challenges, reflecting Role Theory. Societal norms rooted in patriarchal structures reinforce traditional gender roles, limiting career progression for women. Furthermore, while digitalization of education offers benefits, it has blurred the boundaries between work and home, leading to increased stress and emotional fatigue, in alignment with Ecological Systems Theory. To address these challenges, gender-sensitive policies, equitable career opportunities, flexible work arrangements, and mentorship programs are essential. Additionally, fostering a cultural shift toward shared domestic responsibilities and recognizing women's professional contributions are crucial for achieving sustainable WLB and long-term career growth in rural HEIs.

"Human Resource Management" (HRM) refers to formal systems that manage the personnels within an organization or institution. Human resource manager takes various responsibilities, especially for employees or staff, employee compensation and benefits, and defining or designing the work. The main aim of HRM is to increase the production of institution or organization with the help of optimizing the effeciency of its employees. The fundamental objective of human resources is to acquire, develop and retain the talent; align the workforce with business; and be an excellent resource to business. Indeed, there is sufficient knowledge to support the teaching institution like university in which high performance or high commitment of HRM is possible relating to higher education. Therefore, the present article has been putforth to emphasise to understand certain points on HRM prevalent in the university system. In India, there are about 700 universities existing with different names and byelaws. The existing literature on HRM with regard to various universities has been reviewed in the light of some knowledge and help to focus further in the university system. This paper also highlights the emerging challenges that may be helpful to the researchers and other students of HRM.

 Abstract

Teachers are indispensable to society, as they are responsible for equipping students with both knowledge and essential moral values that significantly shape their futures. Occupational stress among teaching staff in higher secondary schools poses significant challenges, impacting both educator's well-being as well as institutional performance. This study intends to determine the key factors contributing to occupational stress among higher secondary teachers in Kerala. Using the Rotation component matrix, six major factors emerged as significant contributors to occupational stress such as student behaviour challenges, administrative and professional constraints, work-life stressors and professional growth, curricular and societal pressures, insufficiency in institutional support, and classroom management challenges that collectively accounted for 69% of the variation in occupational stress, underscoring their substantial impact. The study findings emphasise that student behaviour challenges are the most prominent stressor, followed by administrative constraints and work-life balance concerns. Structural issues such as inadequate institutional support, heavy workloads, and large class sizes amplify stress. The study also clearly demonstrates that females and married individuals experience markedly greater stress levels compared to their unmarried and male peers.
