 Abstract

This paper presents the AI Enhanced Firewall (AIEF), an advanced cybersecurity solution that integrates Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Deep Learning (DL) to strengthen traditional firewall mechanisms. Unlike conventional firewalls that rely primarily on static rule sets and signature-based filtering, the AIEF employs adaptive intelligence to detect, analyze, and mitigate sophisticated cyber threats in real time. With the rapid growth of malware, ransomware, and zero-day exploits, legacy firewalls often fail to provide sufficient protection against dynamic and evolving attack vectors. The proposed AIEF system leverages supervised and unsupervised learning models to automatically learn from network traffic patterns, identify anomalies, and apply predictive defense strategies. Using techniques such as behavior-based intrusion detection, anomaly detection, and reinforcement learning, the system adapts to new threats without requiring constant manual updates. Furthermore, the AI Enhanced Firewall integrates contextual understanding of network behavior and predictive blocking, ensuring proactive security rather than reactive defense. Its applications span enterprise networks, cloud infrastructure, IoT ecosystems, and critical sectors such as healthcare, banking, and defense. By combining AI-driven threat intelligence, automated decision-making, and adaptive learning, the AIEF enhances data confidentiality, integrity, and availability while minimizing false positives. This work demonstrates how next-generation AI-based firewalls can transform cybersecurity by creating an intelligent, resilient, and self-improving defense system against modern digital threats.

 Abstract

Growth serves as the primary global indicator of children's well-being, and adequate food intake is crucial for proper growth. Nutrition plays a significant role during the growth phase. According to estimates from WHO and UNICEF, malnutrition impacts the physical and mental functions of 2 billion children. The aim of the present study was to examine the awareness of nutrition and food habits among school-going children in Jeypore town. The study utilized a cross-sectional descriptive survey design. Data was collected from 250 school children using purposive sampling. Clinical signs were noted during data collection to evaluate nutritional deficiency diseases. The means and t-test were applied for data analysis. The results indicated that the parents of the children were knowledgeable about the nutritive value of food. Nutritional deficiency disorders were identified based on clinical signs. It was determined that the children exhibited poor eating habits. Commonly, the children either skipped breakfast, purchased snacks or junk food, ate between meals, or consumed soft drinks daily. There were no significant differences between boys and girls regarding their mean responses to food nutritive value or the eating habits they adopted. Promoting good eating habits and providing nutritional counselling to both parents and school children will not only enhance their nutritional well-being but also help them overcome current nutritional deficiency diseases.

Abstract: This article examines how the Maggi controversy was debated on social media, where a substance, monosodium glutamate (MSG), was found above the permitted level in these noodles in India. Drawing on qualitative content analysis of Twitter discussions, the study explores how risk perceptions were amplified, contested, and reframed in digital spaces. Findings indicate that Social media discourse emphasised MSG as a health hazard and a symbol of corporate negligence rather than discussing scientific evidence. Twitter users simultaneously expressed fear, mobilised boycott calls, circulated humour and memes, and defended Maggi against allegations. These polarised debates show how food safety controversies in India are scientific disputes, sensationalism, and distrust in corporates and regulators. The article highlights the need for transparent, culturally sensitive, and evidence-based science communication strategies to address public concerns in food safety debates.

 Abstract

This study examines the impact of social media usage on the mental well-being and academic stress of college students in Kerala. The research employs a quantitative approach to measure daily time spent on various platforms and assess levels of academic stress and anxiety among respondents. It specifically analyzes the correlation between social media consumption patterns and psychological well-being indicators to determine if these platforms act primarily as a coping mechanism or a stressor. The study tests the hypotheses that there is no significant correlation between social media usage time and academic stress (H??), and no significant difference in anxiety levels between high-frequency and low-frequency users (H??). The findings aim to provide valuable insights for educators and mental health professionals in supporting student wellness.

 Abstract

The present paper aims to examine the traumatic and layered experiences of the Partition victims of East Bengal by exploring the intersection of history, memory, identity, and marginality in Sunil Gangopadhyay's Arjun. This nonlinear narrative presents a compelling tapestry of chaos, communal violence, loss, anguish, and alienation endured by the displaced. Through the life and struggles of the protagonist, Arjun, the author draws a parallel to the existential crisis and moral dilemma faced by Arjuna in the Mahabharata. It exhibits that the catastrophic event of Partition renders millions of people homeless and identity less, and how the affected fight against various forms of violence and marginalisation. The paper also explores how the experiences of Arjun show that the Partition was an act of political cynicism, and how the political elites failed to assess and control the fringe elements, who galvanised the common and illiterate masses into religious frenzy by exploiting their sensitivities. The bullying of Arjun by fellow Muslim classmates, but encouragement and appreciation of him by the Muslim teachers in school in East Bengal, lecherous male gazes and denial of assistance by Hindus during the painful migration to West Bengal, administrative apathy, bullying and deadly attacks from within community, and exploitation of the vulnerable offer new perspectives about the torments of the refugees.

 Abstract

Postoperative small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a recognized complication of abdominal surgery, most often due to adhesions. Early recognition and appropriate management are critical to prevent morbidity. We report the case of a 53-year-old female who developed bowel obstruction 10 days after open appendicectomy. She presented with abdominal pain, distension, vomiting, and constipation. Radiological evaluation confirmed features of SBO. The patient was successfully managed conservatively with nasogastric decompression, intravenous fluids, electrolyte correction, and close monitoring. Symptoms resolved within 72 hours, and she was discharged in stable condition. This case highlights that, in the absence of strangulation or peritonitis, conservative management is a safe and effective treatment option for early postoperative SBO.

 Abstract

Background:An elevated blood pressure level is called hypertension, and it has a global impact on the burden and mortality of cardiovascular disease. The force inside the body's major arteries is known as blood pressure, and it is frequently measured in both diastolic and systolic forms. Materials and Methods:The investigation was carried out at the Sree Ramakrishna Medical College of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences and Hospital in Kulasekharam, Tamil Nadu, India. 20 hypertensive people took part in the research. After the goal of the study was explained, verbal consent was obtained. One of the characteristics of this investigation is the blood pressure measured using a sphygmomanometer both before and after the intervention. statistical analysis and result interpretation using JASP software version 0.19.3.Results:The data analysis was conducted using JASP software version 0.19.3. It is clear that naturopathic treatments significantly lessen the symptoms associated with systolic blood pressure (t -23.637, Sig 2tailed. < 0.001) and diastolic blood pressure dropped (t -28.185, sig 2tailed. < 0.001). The pulse rate dropped (t-12.348, sig 2 tailed < 0.001). Conclusion: Given the benefits of naturopathic biotherapies, it would be prudent to add them to conventional treatment regimens to help manage the symptoms of hypertension and reduce the side effects of pharmaceutical use. The goal of naturopathy is to reduce the root cause of hypertension in order to prevent and treat it. The noteworthy outcome shows that using an abdominal heating compress helps to regulate blood pressure and lowers the amount of stress we encounter on a daily basis.

 Abstract

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was synthesized from lemongrass extract, where lemongrass was dried and powdered. Then were soaked in sterile distilled water and boiled for 20minutes and filtered. The filtrate was employed for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. The extract was coated to scripted Palm Leaf Manuscripts and observed for few months keeping one Palm Leaf Manuscripts as control without coating with the sample. In this study, lemongrass extract was successfully used to biologically synthesize AgNPs. In order to protect the PLM from harm and preserve it for both present and future use, preservation and conservation are related. Since it is nearly difficult to restore the old original manuscripts to their original state, they must be preserved. The knowledge concealed within the original documents will give research and development a new perspective. According to 'Constitution of India - 1950, In Part IV-A under fundamental Duties in article 51A "It shall be the duty of every citizen of India-point no. (f) to value and preserve the rich heritage of our composite culture." (Govt. of India,2015.). Therefore, its everyone duty is to preserve the heritage of India by preserving the PLMs.

 Abstract

This paper investigates John Dryden's Absalom and Achitophel (1681) as a work of political satire that fuses biblical allegory with Restoration political conflicts. While critics have long recognized Dryden's skill as a satirist, relatively fewer studies emphasize how allegorical representation functions as a political weapon to consolidate monarchical power. Through a close reading of the text and engagement with critical scholarship, this study analyzes Dryden's satirical strategies in portraying the Earl of Shaftesbury (Achitophel) and the Duke of Monmouth (Absalom). The paper employs a New Historicist framework to situate the poem within its political and cultural context, demonstrating that Dryden's satire reflects not only personal wit but also institutional ideology. Ultimately, the study argues that Absalom and Ahithophel exemplifies satire's dual role as a literary art form and as a persuasive tool of political propaganda in Restoration England.

 Abstract

Vasopressin V2 receptor (V2R) Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is closely linked with dysregulation of the vasopressin V2 receptor (V2R), and is hence a drug target. A general computational strategy of pharmacophore-guided virtual screening and structure-based molecular docking was utilized in this study to identify potential V2R modulators. The crystal structure of the human vasopressin V2 receptor (PDB ID: 6U1N) was validated and used as the target model. A 3-point pharmacophore model was constructed with Tolvaptan--a well-known V2R antagonist--as a reference, which includes important interaction features such as hydrogen bond donors/acceptors and hydrophobic cavities. A filtered group of compounds from the Zinc Drug database was further assessed with molecular docking using AutoDock Vina and CB-Dock. In the top contenders, CHEBI:130604 scored the highest binding energy with a Vina score of -10.0 kcal/mol, surpassing Tolvaptan (Vina score -9.7 kcal/mol). Other contenders were CHEBI:127778 (-9.1 kcal/mol), CHEBI:128672 (-8.4 kcal/mol), and CHEBI:125791 (-8.4 kcal/mol). Analysis of the V2R pocket showed large cavities, with Pocket C1 (volume: 9069 ?) and Pocket C5 (volume: 557 ?) being principal binding hotspots. The repeated interaction of high-affinity ligands to these pockets suggests their key role in ligand recognition and receptor modulation. These findings provide new candidate molecules with more favorable binding profiles than Tolvaptan and offer promising leads to the development of selective V2R antagonists for the therapy of ADPKD.
