 Abstract

A wireless sensor network is a collection of sensors that can transfer information obtained from a monitored field over wireless networks. The data is routed via many nodes and connects to other networks such as wireless Ethernet via a gateway.Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are self-configured, infrastructure-free wireless networks that detect physical or environmental factors such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, mobility, or pollution and collaboratively transmit their data via the network to a central location or sink. The main aim of this study is to discuss the New Multipath Routing Approach for Energy Efficient in Wireless Sensor Networks. In this work the recommended Multipath routing scheme consists of 3 measures as multipath construction phase, maintenance of optimum energy road and also the energy usage design to enhance the energy efficiency in the sensor networks.The study work involves enhanced multipath routing-based routing, authentication as well as scheduling-based approach to create the wireless sensor networks safer with the least energy usage. A new Multipath Routing Approach (NMRA) is actually created for raising the energy efficiency in wireless sensor networks. The multipath routing is built to attain higher throughput as well as load balancing

 Abstract

This paper, titled "The Silent Hands of the Paternal Clock," explores the depiction of female characters in O.V. Vijayan's works. The study argues that Vijayan, while a master of existential and philosophical themes, often reduces women to one-dimensional figures of male desire and sin. The analysis shows that his female characters, like those in Khasakkinte Itihasam, are largely silent within a patriarchal framework, serving only to fulfill male-centric narratives. The paper concludes that this portrayal is a significant limitation in his writing and calls for a re-evaluation by modern feminist critics.

Background: Occupational stress among nurses is a global concern, particularly in high-pressure regions like Jammu & Kashmir. Laughter therapy has emerged as a non-pharmacological intervention with promising outcomes. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of laughter therapy in reducing occupational stress among staff nurses in Jammu & Kashmir through a meta-analytic synthesis of studies published between 2009 and 2019. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following PRISMA 2000 guidelines. Databases searched included PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, Research Gate and Academia.edu. Studies were selected based on predefined inclusion criteria. Hedge's G was used to calculate pooled effect size under a random-effects model. Results: Twenty studies met inclusion criteria. The pooled effect size was -1.47 (95% CI: -1.92 to -1.02), indicating a large and statistically significant reduction in stress. Gender emerged as a significant moderator. Conclusion: Laughter therapy is a safe, effective, and scalable intervention for reducing occupational stress among nurses. Region-specific trials are recommended to validate findings in Jammu & Kashmir.

 Abstract

The concept of smart cities has emerged as a transformative approach to urban planning, integrating advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and data analytics to enhance sustainability, governance, and citizen engagement. This paper provides a comparative analysis of smart city initiatives, focusing on global case studies, including Singapore, Barcelona, Songdo, Amsterdam, and the Indian Smart Cities Mission. The study examines key dimensions such as digital infrastructure, governance models, smart mobility, environmental sustainability, and socio-economic inclusivity. Findings indicate that while centralized governance and high-tech automation (as seen in Singapore and Songdo) ensure efficiency, citizen-centric models (as in Barcelona and Amsterdam) foster transparency and public participation. India's Smart Cities Mission presents a hybrid model that balances greenfield development and retrofitting, yet faces challenges in scalability and digital equity. Despite advancements, smart city projects encounter obstacles related to financial sustainability, digital divide, and governance efficiency. This review underscores the need for an integrated approach where technological advancements align with inclusive urban policies to foster resilient, adaptive, and people-centric cities. The study contributes to the growing discourse on smart urbanization by offering insights into best practices and challenges, providing a framework for future smart city developments globally.

 Abstract

The relationship between language and travel provides a conduit to investigate the relationship between language and spatial practices, between representation and domination, mapping and politics. Travellers have an integral bond between their discourse of experiences and their ethos of interpretations. The investment in the act of travelling and writing has moved beyond the intention of merely describing a culture. The narratives of journeys woven with the author's imaginations and experiences, gave us travelogues. An ancient genre of literature, travelogues serve as the base for various fictional and non-fictional works. Travelogues inquired the unknown, making us aware of the existence of diversified cultural extremities present in this planet. Travel entails a group away from recognizable places to an unfamiliar one, a familiar place that is diverse from one's home. Modern Indian travel landscape is composed of variety of voices language from the varied ethno cultural spheres and from the spaces in-between cultures. Pankaj Mishra depicts the social and cultural changes in India in backdrop of globalization and modernization, in the shape of a travelogue. His first book, Butter Chicken in Ludhiana: Travels in Small Town India (1995), was a travelogue that described the social and cultural changes in India in the context of globalization. In the travelogue Pankaj Mishra captures an India which has shrugged off its sleepy, socialist air, and has become instead kitschy, clamorous and ostentatious. It is a book without any dull bits, and the language has a full, rich flavour - and the strength of its argument, often more implied than asserted, from the picture of small-town Indian life it offers. It is a book that can be just as easily read to pass the time as to understand our age. Unlike most travel books, which suffer from more than a touch of the random and the inessential, it forges something cohesive from the writer's widely scattered rovings. From a convent-educated beauty pageant aspirant to small shopkeepers planning their vacation in London, Pankaj Mishra paints a vivid picture of a people rushing headlong to their tryst with modernity. An absolute classic, this is a witty and insightful account of India's aspirational middle class.

 Abstract

History of human civilization, everywhere, knows no period of time death sentence was discarded completely as a mode of punishment and it were only the number of offences which have varied from time to time, State to State according to the prevalent notion of justice and needs of the society . A careful scrutiny of the Ancient Hindu Scriptures and law books reveals that the death sentence was stringent mode of punishment for getting rid of crime and criminal. It has generally been regarded to embody society's strongest condemnation for specific acts of the individuals to make them disentitled even for continuing as a member of the orderly or civilized society. The term capital punishment stands for most severe form of punishment. It is the punishment which is to be awarded for the most heinous, grievous crimes against humanity. While the definition and extent of such crimes vary from country to country, state to state, age to age, the implication of capital punishment has always been the death sentence.
