Digital Payments and Fraud Risk: Technological Innovations and Global Regulatory Responses
In the digital age, financial crime has increased in magnitude and complexity because of high-velocity digital payments, cross-platform financial systems, and due to new forms of threat, like deepfakes and synthetic identities. Due to the increasing failure of the conventional, more rules-based methods of fraud control to detect these more sophisticated behaviours, there has arisen the need to adopt more sophisticated, technology-driven prevention methods. This paper discusses how financial-crime detection and AML/CFT processes are changing with the use of innovative tools, namely AI and machine learning analytics, privacy-preserving federated models, blockchain-based identity mechanism, and real-time digital-payment intelligence. The chapter methodologically follows the comparative case-based approach to analysis synthesising the evidence presented in regulatory publications, industry reports, and documented cases of technological deployments to define general trends, advantages, and shortcomings. The results indicate that technology-enabled systems are much more effective in detecting fraud, presenting few false positives, enhancing identity assurance, and sharing across institution intelligence at a faster rate as compared to traditional systems. This paper concludes that responsible AI architecture, real-time data network integration, and regulatory cooperation are essential to establishing resilient, future-ready models that will be able to defend financial ecosystems against the changing threats of the digital era.

Digital Revolution: Transforming the Tourism Business Landscape Post-Pandemic
Over the past decade, Indias travel and tourism sector has experienced consistent growth in terms of the volume of inbound, outbound, and domestic travelers. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 precipitated an economic downturn in the worldwide tourism industry. The tourism and hospitality industry encountered an unparalleled and unfavorable situation as a result of the governments implementation of travel restrictions and stringent quarantine regulations. Both leisure and business travelers were forced to cancel or delay their travel plans, which led to significant penalties for making last-minute changes to their reservations. Destinations around the globe have implemented unique strategies and elements to enhance their resilience in the aftermath of the pandemic. While a significant number of travel agents and tour operators incurred substantial financial losses, a select few recognized this situation as an opportunity and introduced a range of inventive products, along with implementing innovative marketing and promotion strategies. Quarantine stays, Untact Tourism, and Virtual Tourism are neologisms that have gained popularity in the aftermath of the pandemic. Travel businesses have integrated technology and proved to be digitally adaptive business entities. The objective of this study is to comprehend and assess the technology-embedded recovery strategies implemented by the tourism industry in the state of Kerala, located in South India, following the pandemic. The study conducted comprehensive interviews with distinguished travel and hospitality experts from the state. The collected data were utilized to analyze the repercussions of the pandemic on the travel industry in the state, as well as to evaluate the efficacy of the measures implemented by businesses after the pandemic in terms of generating revenue and rebuilding the reputation of the destination. An in-depth examination of the tourism and hospitality websites has proven valuable in comprehending the marketing tactics employed by the companies amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The studys findings can aid stakeholders in the tourism industry in devising effective measures to endure a pandemic by implementing innovative and creative product development and crisis management strategies. 2026 World Scientific Publishing Europe Ltd.

Digital Soil Texture Classification Using Machine Learning Approaches
The texture of the soil is an important factor to consider during cultivation. The water transmission property is being regulated by the texture of the soil. To determine sand, silt and clays percentage present in a soil sample, a conventional laboratory method is used, which consumes more time. Digitization in agriculture has given a new direction of innovative research in agriculture domain. In this paper, based on image processing an efficient model has been developed for soil texture classification. Eight different image preprocessing techniques were used for the image enhancement. Out of that, the linear contrast adjustment found to be best in image enhancement. A feature vector was calculated by extracting six different features from the enhanced image. The feature vector of an image is input to the machine learning classifier. The various classifiers used in this research work are SVM, KNN, ANN and PNN. The accuracy of the classifiers was SVM (0.98), KNN (0.89), ANN (0.89) and PNN (0.86). From the result, it is found SVM model has higher rate in classification of soil.
