Eye-Vision Net: Cataract Detection and Classification in Retinal and Slit Lamp Images using Deep Network
In the modern world, cataracts are the predominant cause of blindness. Early treatment and detection can reduce the number of cataract patients and prevent surgery. However, cataract grade classification is necessary to control risk and avoid blindness. Previously, various studies focused on developing a system to detect cataract type and grade. However, the existing works on cataract detection does not provide optimal results because of high detection error, lack of learning ability, computational complexity issues, etc. Therefore, the proposed work aims to develop an effective deep learning techniques for detecting and classifying cataracts from the given input samples. Here, the cataract detection and classification are performed using two phases. In order to provide an accurate cataract detection, the proposed study introduced Deep Optimized Convolutional Recurrent Network_Improved Aquila Optimization (Deep OCRN_IAO) model in phase I. Here, both retinal and slit lamp images are utilized for cataract detection. Then, the performance of these two image datasets are analysed, and the best one is chosen for cataract type and grade classification. By analysing the performance, the slit lamp images attain higher results. Therefore, phase II uses slit lamp images and detects the type and grade of cataracts through the proposed Batch Equivalence ResNet-101 (BE_ResNet101) model. The proposed classification model is highly efficient to classify the type and grades of cataracts. The experimental setup is done using MATLAB software, and the datasets used for simulation purposes are DRIMDB (Diabetic Retinopathy Images Database) and real-time slit lamp images. The proposed type and grade detection model has an accuracy of 98.87%, specificity of 99.66%, the sensitivity of 98.28%, Youden index of 95.04%, Kappa of 97.83%, and F1-score is 95.68%. The obtained results and comparative analysis proves that the proposed model is highly suitable for cataract detection and classification. 2022, International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications.

f(Q) gravity as a possible resolution of the H0 and S8 tensions with DESI DR2
The symmetric teleparallel framework brings about the possibility of alleviating cosmological tensions. The current burning issue in cosmological studies is the increase in discrepancies in measurements from several surveys. Here, we have focused on and tensions, which are important factors in describing the evolution of the Universe from primordial perturbation to late-time acceleration. Additionally, the consistency of the sound horizon is verified against the Planck results. The gravity model is constrained using recently obtained data. Implementing gravitational wave data to study late-time acceleration is one of the key features of our study. Since standard sirens show promising results, the implementation of gravitational waves to probe dark energy is an interesting study. Through our work, we introduce this possibility by performing statistical MCMC analysis for late-time cosmological evolution. Also, the and tensions are explored utilizing gravitational wave data alongside other prominent datasets, such as the latest DESI BAO, redshift space distortion, cosmic chronometers, Pantheon+SH0ES, and cosmic microwave background data. With the results obtained, we analyzed the profile of cosmological parameters. Finally, the study presents the tension of the model with observations, which is found to have a much lower magnitude compared to the current trend. Thus, the considered f(Q) model alleviates tension, making it the best candidate for further investigation. The Author(s) 2025. -

Fabrication of biopolymeric sheets using cellulose extracted from water hyacinth and its application studies for reactive red dye removal
Driven by the imperative need for sustainable and biodegradable materials, this study focuses on two pivotal aspects: cellulose extraction and dye removal. The alarming repercussions of non-biodegradable food packaging materials on health and the environment necessitate the exploration of viable alternatives. Herein, we embark on creating easily degradable biopolymer substitutes, achieved through innovative crafting of a biodegradable cellulose sheet sourced from extracted cellulose. Concurrently, the significant environmental and health hazards posed by textile industry discharge of wastewater laden with persistent dyes demand innovative treatment strategies. This study extensively investigated four distinct methods of cellulose extraction from water hyacinth, a complex aquatic weed. The functional groups, crystallinity index, thermal stability, thermal effects, and morphology of the extracted cellulose were characterized by FTIR, XRD, TGA, DSC, and SEM. This exploration yielded a notable outcome, as the most promising yield (39.4 0.02% w/w) emerged using 2% sodium chlorite and 2% glacial acetic acid as bleaching agents, surpassing other methods. Building on this foundational cellulose extraction process, the extracted fibers were transformed into highly biodegradable cellulose sheets, outlining conventional packaging materials. Moreover, these cellulose sheets exhibit exceptional efficacy in adsorbing reactive red dye, with the adsorption capacity of 71.43 mg/g by following pseudo-second kinetics. This study establishes an economically viable avenue for repurposing challenging aquatic weeds into commercially valuable biopolymers. The potential of these sheets for dye removal, coupled with their innate biodegradability, opens auspicious avenues for broader applications encompassing commercial wastewater treatment procedures. 2023 Elsevier Inc. -

Fabrication of Kaempferol Loaded Zein Nanoparticles: Investigation of in Vitro Cytotoxicity and Apoptosis Induction in Oral Cancer Cells
Oral cancer remains a significant health challenge, necessitating innovative therapeutic strategies to enhance treatment efficacy and minimize side effects. This study investigates the potential of kaempferol-loaded zein nanoparticles (KZNPs) for this purpose. Kaempferol, a flavonoid with anticancer properties, has poor water solubility, limiting its effectiveness. Zein nanoparticles (ZNPs) offer a promising delivery system for such bioactive compounds. UV-Vis spectroscopy identified Kaempferols absorption peaks at 347 and 253nm, which shifted to 338nm when encapsulated in ZNPs, indicating a change in ??* conjugation. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed that sodium caseinate (SC) stabilizes ZNPs, resulting in spherical particles with optimal size and stability. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy suggested enhanced hydrogen bonding between Kaempferol and zein. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) revealed the absence of Kaempferols crystalline peaks in KZNPs. The encapsulation efficiency (EE) was 98.39%, and drug release studies showed a controlled release of 79% kaempferol over 8h. In vitro assays demonstrated that KZNPs significantly increased Kaempferols cytotoxicity against PCI-13 oral cancer cells without affecting normal NIH3T3 cancer cells. Overall, these results demonstrate that our KZNPs enhanced biocompatibility and anticancer properties for oral cancer cells.

Fabrication of NiO nanoparticles modified with carboxymethyl cellulose and D-carvone for enhanced antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-cancer activities
Colon cancer is a deadly disease while pathogens such as Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae), Shigella dysenteriae (S. dysenteriae), Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and Candida albicans (C. albicans) are serious threat to the human health due to their persistent nature and resistant to conventional drugs. This study aims to develop NiO nanoparticles via single one pot chemical approach and to modifying them with natural molecules carboxymethyl cellulose and D-carvone to enhance antioxidant, anticancer and antibacterial activity. The NiO and NiO-CMC-Dcar exhibit fcc structure confirmed by XRD. The band gap values were found be 4.15 eV for NiO and 4.23 eV for NiO-CMC-Dcar nanocomposite. DLS study confirmed that the mean particles diameter of NiO and NiO-CMC-Dcar were 154.1 nm and 130.3 nm respectively. The TEM and SEM analysis confirmed that both NiO and NiO-CMC-Dcar samples were roughly spherical. PL emission spectra of NiO-CMC- Dcar nanoparticles at 426 nm and 506 nm indicate the electronic structural modification due to incorporation of CMC and Dcar molecules in to NiO materials. The green emission observed at 506 nm is due to oxygen vacancy that can be correlated to production of more reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill microorganism. The experimental results show that the NiO-CMC- Dcar nanoparticles exhibit enhanced antimicrobial, anticancer and antioxidant activity when compared to NiO alone. 2024 Elsevier B.V. -

Fabrication of silver nanoparticle decorated graphene oxide membranes for water purification, antifouling and antibacterial applications
The quality of portable water is adversely affected by inadequate wastewater treatment, increase in domestic & industrial waste, and microbial contamination of surface water sources. Purification techniques such as sedimentation, precipitation, filtration, and ion exchange can be employed to recover clean water from various impurities. Among these, membrane-based purification methods have become more appealing in recent years due to its cost-effective and energy-saving features. However, fouling is a ubiquitous problem in membrane-based purification technologies, which leads to reduced water permeation and quality. Present study embodies the development of silver decorated graphene oxide coated nylon membrane with remarkable antibacterial and antifouling properties. Antibacterial analysis of bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, validates that higher concentration of silver in GO (GO A500) composites hinder the growth of bacteria. The antifouling properties of GO A500 membrane showed flux recovery ratio of 96 % with irreversible fouling ratio of 3 % during the filtration of BSA (Bovine serum albumin) protein. Further fabricated composite membrane exhibited pure water flux of 46.7 L m?2 h?1 with dye removal rate of 95 %, 88 % and 85 % for Congo red, Rhodamine-B and Methylene blue respectively. Catalytic studies conducted on GO A500 membrane demonstrated the efficacy of their antifouling properties. The investigations revealed that the composite (GO A500) membrane has excellent antibacterial and antifouling properties, making it a suitable option for wastewater treatment applications. 2023 Elsevier B.V. -
Fabrics of Power: Cutting Through the Noise in the Classroom
The hijab, purdah and veil though differently named constitute a continuum of meanings shaped by social, cultural and personal contexts. A womans decision to adopt or reject these garments situates her within a shifting spectrum of religious expression and secular alternatives. The volatility of these meanings renders the garments vulnerable to political appropriation, transforming them into contested symbols that are difficult to address pedagogically, therefore becoming a fabric of power. The hijab controversy that unfolded in Karnatakas educational institutions in early 2022 sharpened these complexities, prompting extensive public commentary on the purpose of education, the responsibilities of institutions, and the rhetorics of liberty, secularism, nation and religion. This article examines these commentarial responses ranging from editorials to columns in Kannada and the English media while reflecting on the parallel experience of teaching concepts such as liberty, dissent, secularism and religion during the period of unrest. In doing so, it foregrounds the paradox inherent in the politics of teaching literature, the framing of literature as political, and the pedagogical negotiations required when instruction unfolds within a charged and highly politicised atmosphere. 2025, Unisa Press.

Face and Emotion Recognition from Real-Time Facial Expressions Using Deep Learning Algorithms
Emotions are faster than words in the field of humancomputer interaction. Identifying human facial expressions can be performed by a multimodal approach that includes body language, gestures, speech, and facial expressions. This paper throws light on emotion recognition via facial expressions, as the face is the basic index of expressing our emotions. Though emotions are universal, they have a slight variation from one person to another. Hence, the proposed model first detects the face using histogram of gradients (HOG) recognized by deep learning algorithms such as linear support vector machine (LSVM), and then, the emotion of that person is detected through deep learning techniques to increase the accuracy percentage. The paper also highlights the data collection and preprocessing techniques. Images were collected using a simple HAAR classifier program, resized, and preprocessed by removing noise using a mean filter. The model resulted in an accuracy percentage for face and emotion being 97% and 92%, respectively. 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
