 Abstract

Mobile phone overuse has emerged as a growing concern, particularly among young individuals, with potential negative effects on brain health and cognitive performance. Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a key neurotrophin involved in synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory, may be affected by excessive mobile usage. This observational study aims to investigate the relationship between BDNF levels and cognitive performance in individuals identified as mobile addicts. The study will include participants aged 18-40 years who meet established criteria for mobile addiction, assessed using Short version of Smartphone Addiction scale. Baseline blood samples will be collected to measure serum BDNF levels using ELISA, and cognitive functions will be evaluated using CogniFit app. The findings may offer valuable insights into the neurobiological consequences of mobile addiction and underscore the need for early interventions.

 Abstract

This study investigates the effects of globally social media trends on regional environmental graphic design. The study highlights important worldwide trends such as minimalism, bold font, and brilliant colors through the analysis of designer interviews, and quantitative information, and investigates how these styles are integrated into regional design practices. The findings show that, while these global tendencies improve visual appeal and enable recognition globally, they also pose issues such as homogeneity and loss of regional uniqueness. Designers have to tackle these problems by combining global aesthetics with regional cultural settings, assuring both originality and relevance. The study emphasizes the need for additional study into the long-term implications of trend adoption, as well as the significance of new technology in defining future design practices.

 Abstract

It is often that a crisis situation exposes the hidden psyche of individuals. The paper is an attempt to uncover the complexities that surround the apparent liberal educated middle class in the backdrop of a communal riot situation. Mahesh Dattani weaves the narrative in such a way that the legacy of hatred on communal lines comes to the forefront in the socio-economic political context where the past entwines with the present to shapes an individual's formation of prejudices and false beliefs about a particular community. This is how the process of 'othering' begins at the rudimentary space of the family.

 Abstract

As we say climate resilience within the purview of gender perspective, the two issues are to be linked with each other in context. The paper views through the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), Conference of Parties (COP), Kyoto Protocol, Green Climate Fund (GCF), Paris agreement, International Forum for Environment, Sustainability & Technology (iFOREST) & finally the efforts of Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change (MOEFCC) of Government of India. On the other hand, regarding gender perspective, the paper focuses on the issue of preservation of indigenous seeds variety in the context of Genetically Modified Foods (GMF) that cover the preservation of indigenous variety of seeds as a challenge to the domain of GMF. Climate resilience and water stressed areas are interlinked. Here both the issues of GMF & water stress are interwoven with the lives of women. Climate resilience efforts and water stress has put pressure on agricultural lands of joint families & leading to land distribution in the families. As a sequel to the familial land distribution and high cost of agricultural inputs, the income stresses in the families have escalated. As a result of the escalation, women's participation in the labor force has increased. Earlier, it was a thought process that working women will eventually lead to women empowerment. Currently, empowered and working women are also under threat. Due to patriarchal mindset, insecurities among spouses have escalated if the women happen to earn more in cash or kind. This precarious situation has led to high prevalence of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). The issue of IPV violates basic human rights, undermines economic potential, reduces productivity, negatively impacts future generations when children witness violence at home. Besides the concept of interlinking issues, the resurge of geriatric population in the near future will also impact health care at domiciliary levels. Resurge of climatic temperature will lead to extra effort in reducing internal temperature at home. With a burden on the household economy to keep the home cool coupled with rising food prices, the working dividend male population will be under tremendous pressure to feed both the ends of demography. The dependant population at the initial end of life through the U5 population & through the geriatrics at the distal end of life will become a burden at the national level that is culminated by burden at the family level. The geriatric population will need an extensive domiciliary care that is again going to put further burden on the women at the household level. As way outs, the paper sees the role of the male gender to diversify skill set, develop risk taking capacity so that they sustain the income of the households. For the females, multi tasking is the way out in nuclear families. While being tech centric, both the genders need to be socio centric as well. Social cohesiveness coupled with spousal mutual respect will help us to improve the performances in various gender related indexes. Healthy behavior regarding household waste management & adoption of renewable sources of energy, rain water harvesting will not only add to climate resilience efforts for the current generation but also the future generations. Similarly, efforts at mass level like focus on alternative energy sources, graduating from coal in a phased manner, reducing fossil fuels will bring the nation to better position in the progress of the Sustainable Development Goal number 13.12

 Abstract

Cyberspace has emerged as a transformative domain that transcends geographical boundaries and reshapes the global order by integrating communication, commerce, governance, and national security into a single digital ecosystem. It offers unprecedented opportunities for innovation, efficiency, and connectivity, enabling countries to leapfrog developmental challenges and modernize public services. However, these advantages are matched by equally significant threats, including cybercrime, cyberterrorism, data breaches, and the growing misuse of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI). As cyberspace becomes increasingly integrated with critical infrastructure, state operations, and private enterprises, its vulnerabilities pose severe risks to national security, economic stability, and societal trust. This paper examines the multifaceted nature of cyberspace by analyzing its structure, vulnerabilities, and the legal frameworks developed to address its risks. Particular emphasis is placed on the geopolitical implications of cyberspace in Asia, specifically comparing the strategies of India and China in managing cyber threats, shaping digital policy, and responding to the actions of non-state actors. Through case studies and policy analysis, this research evaluates the challenges these nations face in balancing digital growth with security imperatives. The study concludes by emphasizing the need for stronger international cooperation, robust cybersecurity infrastructure, and ethical frameworks to navigate the increasingly complex cyber landscape and ensure a safe, secure, and equitable digital future.

 Abstract

This comprehensive report presents an in-depth analysis of our innovative smart food distribution system designed to reduce food waste and address food insecurity through the application of modern web technologies and artificial intelligence. We meticulously developed and rigorously evaluated a MERN stack-based platform that efficiently connects food donors with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and volunteers. Our extensive implementation demonstrates that this technology-driven approach substantially outperforms traditional food redistribution methods across all metrics, with particularly dramatic improvements observed for time-sensitive food items and large-scale donation events. The system successfully integrates AI for food expiry prediction, location-based NGO notifications within a 10km radius, volunteer management, and comprehensive administrative tracking tools. This report provides exhaustive performance metrics, multilayered comparative analyses, and detailed implementation considerations that thoroughly document how this sophisticated platform can be efficiently deployed even using standard hosting infrastructure, democratizing access to this powerful technology for addressing critical societal challenges.
