 Abstract

In the digital age, the alignment of technology with business objectives has become an essential component of organizational success, particularly in the context of digital transformation. This paper proposes a comprehensive framework to guide organizations in aligning their technological investments with business strategies, focusing on the key components of strategic alignment, technology infrastructure, organizational culture, leadership, change management, and customer-centricity. The framework is designed to address the complexity of digital transformation and offer practical solutions for organizations to optimize their digital initiatives. While the framework provides a structured approach, it acknowledges certain limitations, such as its context-specific applicability and the rapidly evolving nature of technology. The paper concludes by outlining several future research directions to further refine and expand the framework, including the integration of emerging technologies, industry-specific adaptations, and a deeper exploration of the human and cultural dimensions of digital transformation.

 Abstract

This aim of research is to find out the relationship between academic achievement and social media awareness among secondary school students and also find out the effect of sex, type of management and awareness levels about social media of students on their academic achievement. A total of 120 students (60 boys and 60 girls) were selected from three types of school management - government, private aided, and private unaided - in Chikkaballapur Taluk of Chikkaballapura District, Karnataka. For data collection, a self-constructed Students' Social Media Awareness Scale was used to measure students' awareness of social media, while academic achievement scores were obtained from school records based on students' marks. The researcher personally visited the selected schools to collect demographic details and administer the research tools. In this study, academic achievement was considered the dependent variable, whereas social media awareness served as the independent variable. Background variables included sex and type of school management. The data collected was statistically analyzed using independent t-tests, One-Way ANOVA, and Karl Pearson's Product Moment Correlation Coefficient with the help of the SPSS software package. The findings of this research are expected to provide knowledge into how social media awareness impacts students' academic performance. Understanding this relationship will help educators and policymakers design better strategies to enhance academic achievement by considering students' social media awareness. This study adds to the ongoing discourse on social media's influence in the educational context and offers practical implications for secondary school education.

 Abstract

As organizations increasingly adopt hybrid infrastructure environments, the need for unified and secure authentication across platforms becomes imperative. Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) systems integrated with Windows Active Directory (AD) using the Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) offer a scalable solution to this challenge. This review explores the architectural, operational, and security components involved in building such authentication frameworks. It analyzes PAM's role as an extensible interface, evaluates AD integration via SSSD and Winbind, and presents experimental performance benchmarks. Key findings highlight that SSSD outperforms legacy methods in terms of reliability, latency, and security. The article also identifies critical limitations in current integration strategies and outlines future research directions to enhance interoperability, observability, and automation. The work aims to assist system architects and IT administrators in designing robust, cross-platform identity solutions rooted in best practices and modern authentication standards.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) has revolutionized how organizations build, manage, and scale cloud infrastructure. However, its widespread adoption introduces critical challenges in governance, compliance, and security--especially when deployed at scale. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of current practices, emerging frameworks, and experimental findings in secure IaC implementation. It explores policy-as-code models, drift detection systems, secret management, and GitOps strategies while presenting a unified theoretical model for enterprise-grade IaC governance. Through empirical evaluations, we demonstrate the measurable benefits of policy automation and security integration in modern DevSecOps pipelines. The review concludes by highlighting future directions, including AI-driven policy engines and compliance portability. This work serves as both a reference and a roadmap for organizations striving to secure their cloud infrastructure through automated and scalable governance.

 Abstract

With enterprises today leveraging data at scale, and at speed, traditional manual Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) pipelines can no longer sustain the pace with which organizations need to leverage new data available. This potential review paper investigates the evolution of ETL from scripted pipelines to automated ETL systems, emphasizing the emerging role of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and cloud-native technologies. The authors will unpack the emergence of intelligent/adaptive ETL methodologies to address and improve the management of dynamic schema changes, handle real-time ingestion, and manage enterprise-scale volume of data. A critical review of literature, case studies, and findings from experiments will yield support for the characterization of the current state of ETL by examining and analyzing current challenges in governance, explainability, and quality of data. The paper will finish by suggesting next steps in future research and areas of innovation for developing resilient, explainable, and intelligent ETLs for the next generation of data ecosystems.

 Abstract

India's political party system is a complex and dynamic entity, reflecting the nation's immense linguistic, cultural, social, and religious diversity. Operating within a robust federal democratic framework, it has undergone profound transformations since its inception in the colonial era. The system's trajectory is marked by distinct phases, beginning with a prolonged period of single-party dominance, transitioning through an era of fragmented multi-party competition and coalition governments, and more recently, witnessing the ascendancy of a new dominant political force. Understanding this evolution requires a deep dive into historical developments, key political actors, ideological shifts, and the profound impact of significant events on party structures and inter-party relations. The historical trajectory of India's party system originates in the late 19th century with the formation of the Indian National Congress (INC) as the principal vehicle for the independence movement. Following India's independence in 1947, the INC established a unique form of democratic hegemony, often referred to as the "Congress System." This period of singular control gradually eroded, paving the way for an era characterized by the rise of regional parties and the necessity of coalition governments at the national level. In contemporary times, the system has experienced another significant shift with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) establishing a new form of national dominance. A notable characteristic of India's party system is its cyclical nature of dominance. The initial period of overwhelming control by the Indian National Congress after independence eventually gave way to a phase of multi-party competition and coalition governments. This fragmentation, in turn, has been succeeded by the Bharatiya Janata Party's establishment of a new form of dominance in the 21st century. This pattern suggests that the Indian party system does not follow a simple, linear progression from one-party dominance to a multi-party or two-party system. Instead, it exhibits a recurring pattern where periods of strong single-party control alternate with phases of more fragmented and intensely competitive politics. This inherent dynamism means that no single party's preeminence is permanent, and the system retains a remarkable capacity for significant shifts and adaptations in response to evolving internal and external pressures. Such adaptability challenges any static conceptualization of the party system, underscoring its fluid and responsive qualities within the democratic framework. This articles discussed the evolution of party system in India since Colonial period till the current phase of one Party dominance of BJP led NDA Government which is also marked as "MODI" era.

 Abstract

This study examines the relationship between parental socio-economic status and the achievement in mathematics of secondary school students, with particular emphasis on the influence of sex and type of school management. The primary objective is to explore how socio-economic status affects students' performance in mathematics and to test the hypotheses formulated accordingly. The Modified Kuppuswamy's Socio-Economic Status Scale (updated by Parul Sood and Supreet Bindra, 2022) was utilized to assess the socio-economic status of the students' families. Mathematics achievement was measured based on students' marks from the previous academic year. The sample comprised 120 Class IX students drawn from government, private aided and private unaided schools located in the Bengaluru North zone of Bengaluru Urban District. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation, along with an independent samples 't'-test and the coefficient of correlation to determine the relationships and differences between groups. The findings revealed a significant positive relationship between socio-economic status and achievement in mathematics. Furthermore, the results indicated that girls performed better than boys in mathematics, while students from private unaided schools outperformed their counterparts in government and private unaided schools. This disparity in achievement may be attributed to differences in access to educational resources, learning environments and parental support across different socio-economic backgrounds and school types.
