Advancing precision medicine: Uncovering biomarkers and strategies to mitigate immune-related adverse events in immune checkpoint inhibitors therapy
subject: Biomarkers; Immuno-related adverse events; Immunosuppressants; Immunotherapy; Immunotoxicity; Precision medicine
description: Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) can have a major influence on patient outcomes, but their usage is frequently confounded by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), which have revolutionized cancer treatment by increasing anti-tumor immunity. With a focus on immunological dysregulation and the resulting tissue-specific toxicities, this review clarifies the fundamental processes of irAEs. We look at contemporary clinical treatment techniques to lessen the impact of these adverse events, such as the application of immunosuppressants and patient monitoring procedures. Additionally, it is emphasized how future research is necessary to find predictive biomarkers that can forecast the development of irAEs, allowing for early intervention and individualized therapy methods. In order to improve the therapeutic index of ICIs, we also examine the crucial balance between optimizing anti-tumor activity and reducing immunotoxicity. This study aims to further the existing discussion on enhancing the safety and effectiveness of ICI medicines, which will eventually improve cancer patient care, by pointing out possible research avenues. 2025 The Authors

Dalit Activism
description: In the post-Ambedkar era, Dalit activism has expanded beyond traditional modes and methods of protest by adopting diverse strategies. This includes social media campaigns like #DalitLivesMatter, which align with global movements such as #BlackLivesMatter. It signals a shift towards more globalised and intersectional forms of protest. There is a notable transition from an exclusive focus on domestic advocacy to transnational alliances for greater impact. Caste-based oppression has been framed as a violation of fundamental human rights, which demands accountability from both national and international agencies. Many scholars find the gap between international advocacy for Dalit rights and grassroots-level Dalit activism quite concerning. Some scholars believe that Dalit activism has lost much of its transformative potential and revolutionary vigour, and the movement has been reduced to a mere pressure group. These political pitfalls allow us to understand the challenges and complexities of Dalit activism and the factors that shaped its course. This chapter aims to trace the trajectory of Dalit activism and provide a detailed background to facilitate a critical engagement with the concept of activism. It explores its historical progression, strategic shifts, and ongoing struggles to offer a comprehensive view of how Dalit activism has evolved into its current form. 2026 selection and editorial matter, Mahitosh Mandal and Sanjiv Kondekar; individual chapters, the contributors.

Dalit Studies
description: Dalit Studies emerged as a pivotal academic discipline in South Asia in the 1990s with a unique set of research agendas that offer new frameworks for understanding caste, gender and marginalised identities. The field stands out for integrating theoretical frameworks into the lived experiences of caste-oppressed communities. It was shaped by the confluence of material, ideological and intellectual shifts, including the critique of caste-Hindu dominance in academia. By prioritising the experiences of Dalits, it bridges the gap between theory and practice and engages with critical debates on representation, particularly insider vs. outsider perspectives in articulating Dalit experiences. It equips the learners not only with intellectual tools but also with the skills to attain self-reliance and dignity in their socio-political lives. As a critical tool, it calls for a rethinking of knowledge production, methodology and representation. Its growing global relevance is evident in universities across the United States, the United Kingdom, and South Africa, where programs and courses explore the intersections of caste, race, and gender within broader contexts of subjugation and resistance. This chapter traces the evolution of Dalit Studies, examining its theoretical foundations, key concepts and debates, and its growing visibility in academic institutions worldwide 2026 selection and editorial matter, Mahitosh Mandal and Sanjiv Kondekar; individual chapters, the contributors.

Consuming Appetites, Disappearing Meals: Things Becoming Food in Chana Porters The Thick and the Lean
description: This paper aims to highlight the complex entanglements between the material and metaphorical meanings of food in literature through a close reading of Chana Porters The Thick and the Lean (2023). The novel follows the appetites and aspirations of three women in an alternative world where good food is taboo and culinary pleasures are forbidden; instead, abstinence from eating is hailed as the ultimate form of devotion. Drawing on Emma Roes conceptualization of things becoming food, this paper examines the mechanism through which foodstuff gainsor fails to gainmeaning in Porters food-averse universe. It argues that the novel challenges conventional perceptions of female appetites by reconfiguring edibility as constituted through intercorporeal as well as discursive practices. The paper approaches this process as a form of translation, contending that Porter integrates content and form to highlight the resistive potential of food and female appetites in capitalist food systems. 2025 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Experimentally optimizing a spinning disk by manipulating its mass distribution and radius
subject: angular quantities; kinetic energy; moment of inertia; Spinning disk; torque
description: The scientific method enables the experimental study of complex phenomena by isolating key variables. This work explores the significant properties of spinning bodies. Optimizing spinning disks is the primary aim of this work. Optimization is achieved by manipulating the moment of inertia (MOI) of the disk, allowing a longer duration of spin and lowering the rate of energy dissipation. Experiments are designed and conducted to explore the relationship between the radius and mass distribution of the disk and the angular deceleration experienced by it. Effects of the same on energy retention is analyzed. Empirical data is interpreted graphically while accounting for systematic and random uncertainties. Percentage change in duration of spin as a result of percentage change in physical quantities is studied. Moving mass away from the central axis of the spinning disk increases its duration of spin from a constant initial angular velocity. Energy retention is also improved. Increasing the radius of the disk increases the duration of spin and reduces the rate of energy dissipation. The above conclusions are drawn from experiments where the mass and thickness of the disk are controlled along with other necessary factors that can influence the results. The experiments confirm the existing theory relating to the moment of inertia, angular quantities, resistive torques and kinetic energy of spinning disks. The experiments provide insights into the behavior of spinning disks in practical situations, especially in problems concerned with optimization in the field of mechanical engineering. 2026 Veeresha et al., published by Paradigm.

Microbial biofertilizers: A sustainable agricultural approach to augment crop resilience against biotic and abiotic stresses
subject: defence; gene expression; growth promotion; phytohormones; plant stress; rhizobacteria
description: Increasing plant growth and yield with the aid of plant growth-promoting bacteria is a widely accepted, eco-friendly and economic approach in modern agriculture. Their use as an alternative to widely used harmful chemical fertilizers and pesticides can improve overall soil health and fertility, thereby enhancing crop yield. The positive modulation of genes related to growth and development, fruit formation, stress tolerance and phytohormone production helps plants significantly during maturation. Furthermore, the enhanced production and expression of defence-related hormones aid in survival under various stress conditions, such as drought, pH fluctuations, salinity and water stress. In addition, the application of growth-promoting bacteria, mainly from species such as Azospirillum, Bacillus, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Pseudomonas, Azotobacter, Burkholderia, Rhizobium, Alcaligenes, Arthrobacter and Serratia supports plant growth and development by improving soil porosity, pH and salinity conditions. This review briefly outlines the role of the plant growth-promoting bacteria as microbial biofertilizers that enhance crop resilience under both biotic and abiotic stress conditions. By highlighting recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of microbe-plant interactions under these stresses, it also provides unique insights into how microbial biofertilizers can be employed for sustainable agriculture. This has direct relevance for policymakers and farmers by reducing dependence on chemical fertilizers, which have various negative impacts, thereby promoting long-term environmental sustainability and improved agricultural practices.

Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles immobilized on microporous molecular sieves as efficient porous catalyst for photodegradation, transesterification and esterification reactions
subject: Esterification; Iron oxide nanoparticles; Magnetic microporous catalyst; Molecular sieves; Photodegradation
description: Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles were immobilized on microporous molecular sieves (13X) via a plant extract mediated green synthesis method. The prepared material was then characterized using XRD, FTIR, TGA, FESEM, and TEM techniques. The synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles-molecular sieves (Fe2O3/MS) composite showed excellent photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) at 99% efficiency. Enhanced photocatalytic properties were observed in comparison with the pure iron oxide (Fe2O3) nanoparticles synthesized. Catalytic conversion of triglycerides to fatty-acid ethyl esters (FAEE) was carried out using sunflower oil, and the reaction showed very good catalytic activity in the transesterification of sunflower oil, converting 84% of the sunflower oil to FAEE. The catalyst was also used in the esterification reaction and found to have excellent applicability. The catalyst showed excellent reusability, and easy separation from the reaction mixture using an external magnet. This enables the synthesized material to act as a promising photocatalyst in degradation and organic synthesis. Very few reports are available on the synthesis of magnetic iron oxide coated on molecular sieves and used for photodegradation, transesterification, and esterification catalysis. 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.

The indian pulsar timing array data release 2: II. Customised single-pulsar noise analysis and noise budget
subject: Gravitational waves; Neutron stars; Pulsar timing arrays; Pulsars
description: We present the results of customised single-pulsar noise analysis of 27 millisecond pulsars from the second data release of the Indian Pulsar Timing Array (InPTA-DR2). We model various stochastic noise sources present in the dataset using stationary Gaussian processes and estimate the noise budget of the InPTA-DR2 using Bayesian inference, involving model selection, Fourier harmonics selection, and parameter estimation for each pulsar. We check the efficacy of our noise characterisation by performing the Anderson-Darling test for Gaussianity on the noise-subtracted residuals. We find that all 11 pulsars with time baseline ? 2.5 yr show Gaussian residuals and do not have evidence for any red noise process in the optimal model, except for PSR J1944 + 0907, which shows presence of DM noise. PSRs J0437 - 4715, J1909 - 3744 and J1939 + 2134 show preference for the most complicated noise model, having achromatic and chromatic red noise processes. Only 4 out of 15 pulsars with time baseline ? 2.5 yr show significant non-Gaussianity in noise-subtracted residuals. We suspect that this may require more advanced methods to model noise processes properly. A comparative study of six pulsars with data removed near solar conjunctions showed deviations from the parameter estimates obtained with the original dataset, indicating potential bias in red noise processes due to unmodeled solar-wind effects. The results presented in this work remain broadly consistent with the InPTA-DR1 noise budget, with better constraints obtained on noise processes for several pulsars and support for achromatic red noise in PSR J1012 + 5307 due to the extended time baseline. 2026 The Author(s).

Human gut microbiota and regulation of human behavior
subject: Bacteria; Behavior; Gut microbiota; Hormones; Regulation
description: The human body is often referred to as a microbiome, embodying a multitude of microbes. Specifically, the gut microbiome constitutes a cluster of bacteria within the gastrointestinal (GI) system. In both healthy individuals and those facing health issues, these bacteria significantly impact human physiology. They form an integral part of the unconscious system that exerts influence over human behavior. Globally, researchers are actively investigating the components of a good gut microbiome to enhance our comprehension of the role gut microorganisms play in health and disease. The gut harbors a diverse array of bacteria, encompassing both hazardous and beneficial types. Furthermore, studies on specific health-improving parasitic species are yielding biological insights that may propel the development of novel drugs. The gut microbiome directly impacts an individual's health by secreting physiologically active compounds like vitamins, essential amino acids, and lipids. Moreover, it indirectly influences the immune system and metabolic functions, thereby affecting moods and cognitive functions. Recognition of the role played by gut microbiota extends to various diseases and disorders. Evidence demonstrates significant interactions between the microbiome and certain drugs, profoundly shaping their intended effects. The interplay between the immune system, gut microbiota, and psychiatric disorders such as eating disorders, as well as conditions like cancer, autoimmune diseases, and autism spectrum disorder, is increasingly evident through ongoing research. This is unsurprising given the pivotal roles played by daily caloric intake, eating habits, and food composition in regulating various biological systems. Recent research sheds light on the intricate gut-brain axis (GBA), a two-way communication system where the gut receives signals from the brain, and vice versa. Microbes in the GI tract produce neurotransmitters that influence crucial functions like learning, memory,…

International Competences for Undergraduate Psychology: Relevance to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
subject: compences fondamentales en psychologie; enseignement de la psychologie; foundational psychology competences; littatie psychologique; Objectifs de deloppement durable; programmes de premier cycle; psychological literacy; psychology education; Sustainable Development Goals; undergraduate
description: The 17 global goals of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a call to action for governments and organizations around the world to work towards a sustainable future for all people and the planet. Human behaviour is directly or indirectly tied to all of the SDGs; therefore, psychology as a discipline is critical to their achievement. In this article, wea team of 12 psychology educators from eight countries (three from the Global South) representing six continentsoutline connections between psychology and the SDGs. We argue that psychology education at the foundational undergraduate level should integrate the SDGs into curricula. We describe the framework of psychological literacy that we believe is central to a strong undergraduate education in psychology and outline its conceptual relationship to the SDGs. We then describe the International Competences for Undergraduate Psychology, which explicitly mention the SDGs, but are also closely linked to them across all seven International Competences for Undergraduate Psychology competence categories (psychological knowledge, psychological research methodologies and methods, and the five psychology-relevant areas: values and ethics; cultural responsiveness and diversity; critical thinking and problem-solving; communication and interpersonal skills; and personal and professional development). Finally, psychology educators from six countries (Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia, Brazil, Cameroon, India, and the United States) describe teaching and assessment strategies that harness both the International Competences for Undergraduate Psychology and the SDGs. These strategies offer examples to spur psychology educators to consider how they might make these connections in their own classes and curricula and in their own culture and context. 2025 Canadian Psychological Association

Effect of Coriolis force on Rayleigh-Bard convection with internal heat generation
subject: Boussinesquian fluid; Internal heat source; Rayleigh number; Rotation; Stability; Thermal convection
description: The objective of this paper is to analyze the influence of the Coriolis force and internal heat source on Rayleigh-Bard convection in a Boussinesquian fluid of depth d. A linear theory which is oriented towards the normal mode analysis technique is used for this mono-diffusive convection in order to find the criteria for the onset of Rayleigh-Bard convection. The eigenvalue of the said problem was obtained by the use of the Galerkin method in the cases of rigid-rigid, rigid-free, and free-free velocity boundary combinations considering the isothermal and adiabatic temperature boundaries that determine the stability of the system. The effects of various parameters, Taylor number and the internal Rayleigh number are put under consideration only for stationary convection. Treating Taylor number as a critical parameter, shown that it plays a major role in stabilization of the system in case of any particular infinitesimal disturbance. The destabilization of the system has been possible with rotation by treating internal Rayleigh numbers as a critical parameter since the increase in values of the internal Rayleigh number advances the onset of convection. Oscillatory convection seems highly improbable as the scaled frequency of oscillation remains less than 0 for all combinations of Prandtl number, internal Rayleigh number, and Taylor number. 2019, Accent Social and Welfare Society.

Heat and mass transfer of triple diffusive convection in viscoelastic liquids under internal heat source modulations
subject: internal heat source modulation; Lorenz model; nonsinusoidal waveform; Nusselt number; Sherwood number; sinusoidal waveform; viscoelastic liquids
description: The influence of sinusoidal (trigonometric cosine [TC]) and nonsinusoidal waveforms (square, sawtooth, and triangular) of internal heat source modulation on triple diffusive convection in viscoelastic liquids is investigated. An Oldroyd-B type model is taken into account for viscoelastic liquids. Nonlinear analysis is carried out using a truncated representation of the Fourier series. To analyze the heat and mass transfer over a triply diffusive liquid layer, expressions for average Nusselt and average Sherwood numbers are derived using 8-mode generalized Lorenz equations. The transient behavior of Nusselt and Sherwood numbers is analyzed on different parameters of the problem. From the results, it is found that the internal heat source enhances the heat transfer and diminishes the mass transfer while the heat sink diminishes the heat transfer and enhances the mass transfer. The results for respective waveforms are obtained for each parameter and it is found that the maximum heat and mass transfer occurs due to TC waveform. The limiting cases of viscoelastic liquids (Newtonian, Oldroyd-B, Maxwell, and RivlinEricksen) have been tabulated and corresponding results for each of the waveforms onheat and mass transfer have been shown. 2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC

Effect of internal heat source modulations on the onset of triple diffusive convection in viscoelastic liquids
subject: Convection; Internal heat source modulation; Venezian approach; Viscoelastic liquid
description: The paper aims to study the dynamic behavior of a triple diffusive system subjected to sinusoidal (trigonometric cosine) and non-sinusoidal wave forms (square, sawtooth and triangular) of internal heat source modulation. The configuration of the system is such that a layer of viscoelastic liquid is heated and salted with two solutes from below. An Oldroyd-B type model is made use for viscoelastic liquids. In order to regulate the convection onset, internal heat source modulation is applied. This investigation is modelled using a linear stability analysis where a stationary convection is preferred. Venezian approach facilitates a solution by finding the eigen values of the problem. The influence of pertinent parameters which are varied for a wide range of values have been reported. It is captured via graphs that for small values of frequency of modulation, square wave form is more stable while sawtooth wave form is more stable for an increment in the values of frequency of modulation. Further, liquids such as Newtonian, Maxwell and Rivlin-Ericksen are analysed as the limiting cases of the problem. It seems worthwhile to discuss the results of the present study as it is the first work on linear theory of different wave forms of internal heat source modulation and thus paves a way for new theoretical and experimental endeavors. 2021, National Institute of Science Communication and Information Resources.

Study of Rayleigh-Benard Dynamical System Involving Newtonian and Nanofluids in Rectangular and Cylindrical Enclosures
subject: Mathematics and Statistics
description: Analyzing and#64258;uid and#64258;ow behavior in the presence of temperature gradients subjected to internal and external forces in diand#64256;erent geometries is essential for optimization newlineprocesses for various engineering applications, guiding the design of more efcient thermal systems. This thesis focuses on investigating the Rayleigh-Bard convection problems occupying rectangular and cylindrical enclosures. The linear and newlineweakly nonlinear analyses are carried out that reveal the results on regular convection, heat transport and chaotic motion for each of the problems. Steady and newlineunsteady states of the Rayleigh-Bard system are studied using the Lorenz model. The dynamical system is investigated to look for possible chaotic motion. Fluid systems can exhibit chaotic behavior, and understanding the chaotic nature of these and#64258;ows is essential for accurate predictions of their evolution over time. In view of this, the regular, chaotic, and periodic natures of the dynamical system is thoroughly analyzed. Further, the inand#64258;uence of various parameters on the indicators of chaos is explored. Additionally, the thermal performance of the system is looked into by introducing nanoparticles/nanotubes into the base and#64258;uid. newlineWith the aformentioned motivation, we now present the abstract of each of the problems considered in this thesis one-by-one. 1. Impact of boundary conditions on Rayleigh-Bard convection: stability, heat transfer and chaos In the frst problem of the thesis, discussed in Chapter 3, a comparison is made newlinebetween the results of Rayleigh-Bard convection problem for diand#64256;erent boundary combinations, namely, rigid-rigid-isothermal, rigid-free-isothermal and free-free isothermal boundaries for a Newtonian and#64258;uid. The linear and weakly-nonlinear analyses reveal that the onset of regular and chaotic motions in the case of rigid-freeisothermal boundaries happens later than that of free-free isothermal…

Revolutionizing Legal Intelligence: Advances in Neural Networks and Language Models for Legal NLP
subject: BERT; Contract Clause Extraction; GPT; Large Language Models (LLMs); Legal Document Classification; Legal NLP; Legal Text Summarization; Machine Learning; Named Entity Recognition (NER); Neural Networks; Transformer Models
description: As the legal field continues to generate vast amounts of complex text, from contracts to court rulings, machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) techniques have emerged as valuable tools to help analyze and organize this data. In this paper, a number of state-of-the-art models will be reviewed and evaluated, including transformer models like BERT, GPT, and T5, and neural network models such as LSTM and CNN-RNN hybrids. These were then tested for the legal tasks of document classification, text summarization, and entity recognition. Some of the metrics used for evaluation include Accuracy, F1-Score, ROUGE, and BLEU. Advanced models, in particular large language models (LLMs), outperform the traditional methods by a large margin since they capture the niceties of legal language and structure much more completely. Meanwhile, high-quality legal datasets remain scarce, legalese remains incomprehensible to most, and the models are still relatively unexplainable. In sum, these challenges clearly call for future research in terms of data augmentation, explainable AI techniques, and more robust training methods that would allow AI-powered tools to be integrated much more effectively within lawyers' workflows to support them in their decision-making processes. 2025 IEEE.

Elastic circuit de-constructor: a pattern to enhance resiliency in microservices
subject: circuit breaker; Cloud computing; cloud nativearchitecture; design patterns; microservices; resilience
description: Cloud-based workloads have proliferated with the deep penetration of the internet. Microservices based handling of high volume transactions and data have become extremely popular owing to their scalability and elasticity. The major challenge that cloud-based microservice patterns face is predicting dynamic load and failure patterns, which affect resiliency and uptime. Existing Circuit breaker patterns are biased toward denying incoming requests to maintain acceptable latency values, at the cost of availability. This paper proposes the Elastic Circuit De-Constructor (ECD) pattern to address these gaps. The proposed ECD pattern addresses this challenge by dynamically adapting to changing workloads and adjusting circuit-breaking thresholds based on real-time performance metrics. The proposed ECD pattern introduces a novel De-constructed state, that allows the ECD to identify alternate paths pre-defined by the application, ensuring user requests continue to be routed to the microservice. By leveraging Availability, Latency and Error rate as performance metrics, the ECD pattern is able to balance the fault tolerance and resiliency imperatives in the cloud-based microservices environment. The performance of the proposed ECD pattern has been verified against both no Circuit Breaker and a default Circuit Breaker setting. 2024 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
