Creating inclusive spaces in virtual classroom sessions during the COVID pandemic: An exploratory study of primary class teachers in India
The research paper reports insights into the primary class teachers experiences and inclusive methodologies in India during virtual class sessions. Teaching online during the COVID pandemic has turned out to be an adaptive and transformative challenge for teachers. Though Indian teachers are used to the chalk-and-talk method, an online setup has compelled them to discover innovative strategies to maintain an inclusive classroom. It was found that teachers are using puppetry, storytelling, energizers, ice-breakers in their sessions to make it engaging. An in-depth study was undertaken to understand the experiences of five primary class teachers from private schools in India. Data thus collected were analyzed qualitatively. The study results demonstrated that the teachers had improved professionally they have become independent in using the internet and exploring new ways of teaching them per their needs. Nevertheless, it was also found that the schools lack support, fear among the teachers of being asked to quit the job, blocking students from the online class if they fail to pay the fees, and exorbitant salary cuts. The challenges related to young students were - lack of proper resources for online sessions, low attention span, technical distractions, lack of physical development, excessive interference of the parents and lack of socialization. The paper concludes with policy proposals regarding standardized online education platforms and provisions for proper resources for virtual class sessions to marginalized families to minimize India's digital divide. 2021 -

Creativity Education in India: Breaking Barriers
Classrooms in India are posed with challenges of rigid curriculum demands, lack of resources, large class sizes and very often low motivation levels among teachers. Add to that poor teacher training facilities. Given the constraints, the pursuit of encouraging creativity education in the Indian schooling system seems like a tall order. The aim of this chapter is to explore the scope for creative learning and expression in Indian classrooms. The purpose is also to search for education models that facilitate and encourage creativity amongst children by adapting the curriculum to their advantage and operate within the constraints imposed by systemic drawbacks. The chapter searches for a coherent, pragmatic definition of creativity among practitioners and pedagogues with the rationale of identifying workable solutions for dissemination of creativity education in Indian classrooms. The methodology entails conversations and interviews with teachers, curriculum planners and pedagogues representing different education models and schooling systems in India. A case-study design approach is assumed to present programs that are successfully implementing practices which encourage creativity learning among their students. An attempt is made to highlight the philosophical beliefs that underlie adoption of such practices as well as to document the challenges and demands that such an endeavour imposes on the system. The chapter therefore, provides an optimistic view of the future of out of the box learning not only in the Indian classrooms but also makes a case for all education systems stifled by curriculum constraints and lack of resources.

Credit card fraud detection using ANN
Fraud on its own was and is devastating a lot of businesses, be them small or large. Particularly in the field of finance where we can see constant attacks on both individuals and enterprises alike. As such, credit cards are the most targeted as they are linked to both personal information and accounts. It is also evident to say that credit card fraud detection research is very much needed to deter and mitigate the impact of fraud on the financial field in general. It is important to identify frauds before it is too late so that the stolen credit card cannot be used for fraudulent transactions. To effectively detect these fraud transactions, we use a data consisting of fraudulent and non-fraudulent transactions to create a model that classifies these transactions with a high accuracy based on a machine learning technique. We used Artificial Neural Network with Logistic Regression to measure and in order to achieve high accuracy, we refined the parameters using the algorithms Back-propagation which has proved to have a high accuracy rate giving the model the ability to distinguish a fraudulent transaction from a normal one.

Credit Card Fraud Detection with ADASYN Oversampling and SHAP-based Interpretability: A Comparative Ensemble Approach
Credit card fraud continues to be a significant threat to financial systems, exacerbated by the highly imbalanced nature of transaction datasets and the opaque decision-making of complex machine learning models. This paper proposes a hybrid fraud detection framework that integrates Adaptive Synthetic (ADASYN) oversampling to address class imbalance and SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) to enhance model interpretability. Five machine learning classifiers Logistic Regression, Random Forest, XGBoost, LightGBM, and Multilayer Perceptron - are evaluated on the widely used Kaggle credit card fraud dataset. ADASYN significantly improves the minority class representation in the training set, enabling models to achieve higher fraud recall without overwhelming false positives. Among the models tested, Random Forest delivered the best trade-off between precision (85.7%) and recall (79.6%), achieving an F1-score of 82.5% and ROC-AUC of 0.9633. SHAP analysis provided granular insight into feature contributions, transforming black-box predictions into transparent and auditable decisions. Comparative analysis with eight state-of-the-art studies demonstrates that while recent approaches often report near-perfect results, the proposed model strikes a balance between predictive performance, computational efficiency, and interpretability qualities essential for practical deployment in financial fraud detection systems based on benchmark transactional data. The study highlights that integrating ADASYN with ensemble learning and SHAP can create a robust, explainable, and scalable fraud detection system suitable for deployment in dynamic financial environments. 2025 IEEE. -

Cries of war: Securitization of fluid transnational identities during war (a comparative study of securitization of Chinese Indians and Japanese Americans)
Fluid transnational identities are an omnipresent reality in the contemporary world, but what happens when war becomes a reality or the threat of war is imminent in a State which contains fluid transnational identities? This article tries to explore these dynamics to determine if the threat from transnational identities is an actual threat during war or an act of an elite few, and what follows after the war, by comparing the experiences of Chinese Indians and Japanese Americans. The study heavily leans on securitization theory to explore the questions posed and elaborate on the situations when habeas corpus was denied thereby incarceration and internment as a practice were justified. The relationship between the transnational population and the State under the Copenhagen School is also further elaborated on. The Author(s) 2021. -

Crime Analysis and Forecasting using Twitter Data in the Indian Context
Since the late 1990s, social media has added more features and users. Due to the rise of social media, blogs and posts by common people are now a part of mainstream journalism. Twitter is a place where people can share their ideas about culture, society, the economy, and politics. India's large population and rising crime rate make it hard for law enforcement to find and stop illegal activities. This article shows the use of Twitter data to analyse, forecast, and visualise criminal activity using statistical and machine learning models and geospatial visualisation techniques. This helps law enforcement agencies make the best use of their limited resources and put them in the right places. The research aims to present a spatial and temporal picture of crime in India and is split into three parts: Classification, Visualisation, and Forecasting. Crime tweets are identified using a hashtag query argument in the tweepy python package's search_tweets function, followed by substring-keyword classification. The visualisation uses gmaps and bokeh python packages for geospatial and matplotlib for analytical applications. The forecasting portion compares AR, ARIMA, and LSTM to determine the best model for time series forecasting of crime tweet count. 2023 IEEE. -

CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing of crops: Food and nutritional security
The United Nations established the goal of achieving global food security by 2030 as one of its top sustainable development goals in 2015. The current agricultural harvest is insufficient to accomplish the zero-hunger objective and feed the world's growing population. It would require more extensive and consistent crop production. Gene-editing technologies have recently emerged as viable alternatives to permit precise modifications in genomes with increased efficiency and yield higher agricultural productivity. Due to their simplicity, adaptability, and reproducibility across a diverse variety of species, genetic engineering techniques like CRISPR-Cas9 have become quite prominent. CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology can improve crop yields, quality, stress resistance, food safety, nutritional security, and shelf-life, reduce antibiotic resistance, and hasten plant domestication. Cutting-edge techniques like genome editing (GE) allow for the precise introduction or mutation of specified genes into plant genomes. The advent of programmable nucleases like CRISPR-Cas9 has improved gene editing and potentially improved food production and nutritional security. Knock-out, knock-in, gene activation, gene repression, nuclear rearrangements, base editing, molecular breeding, and epigenome engineering are just a few ways that CRISPR systems can target and change genes. For novel applications in plant genetic engineering, CRISPR-Cas systems can be repurposed for GE toward de-novo speciation; mitochondrial and plastid genome engineering toward enhancing photosynthesis, submergence, and drought tolerance. The versatility of CRISPR-associated systems broadens the scope of crop development applications that they can be used for, especially in improving food and nutritional security, which is the focus of this chapter. 2024 Elsevier Inc.
