description: The problem of spam content in YouTube comments is an ongoing issue, and detecting such content is a critical task to maintain the quality of user experience on the platform. In this study, we propose a Federated Learning Inspired XG-Boost Tuned Classifier, FL-XGBTC, for YouTube spam content detection. The proposed model leverages the advantages of federated learning, which enables the training of a model collaboratively across multiple devices without sharing raw data. The FL-XGBTC model is based on the XGBoost algorithm, which is a powerful and widely used ensemble learning algorithm for classification tasks. The proposed model was trained on a large and diverse dataset of YouTube comments, which includes both spam and non-spam comments. The results demonstrate that the FL-XGBTC model achieved a high level of accuracy in detecting spam content in YouTube comments, outperforming several baseline models. Additionally, the proposed model provides the benefit of preserving user privacy, which is a critical consideration in modern machine-learning applications. Overall, the proposed Federated Learning Inspired XG-Boost Tuned Classifier provides a promising solution for YouTube spam content detection that leverages the benefits of federated learning and ensemble learning algorithms. The major contribution of this work is to demonstrate and propose a framework for showing a distributed federated classifier for the multiscale classification of youtube spam comments using the Ensemble learning method.

Navigating the Nexus: An Integrated Framework for Energy- Water- Food Security in the MENA Region
description: The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region confronts a severe and escalating challenge to its resource security, rooted in the complex interdependencies of the Energy- Water- Food (EWF) nexus. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the long- term impacts of alternative policy pathways on EWF security and associated socio- economic outcomes. Utilizing a specifically designed Input- Output (IO) modelling framework incorporating flexible production functions and price- induced factor substitution, this study projects outcomes to the year 2050 for ten key MENA countries under five distinct scenarios: a Business- as- Usual (BAU) trajectory, three sector- specific scenarios focused on Energy (ESC), Water (WSC), and Food (FSC), and an integrated EWF Nexus- oriented Scenario (NSC). The analysis reveals that the BAU path, which extrapolates current policies and consumption patterns, leads to a precipitous decline in water and food security, rendering current development models fundamentally unsustainable. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

Onion peel derived carbon nanoparticles incorporated polysulfone membranes: enhanced dye removal from water
description: The ongoing discharge of hazardous dyes from industrial processes has intensified global water pollution, posing serious threats to aquatic ecosystems and human health. Addressing this challenge, our study explores the potential of bio-based carbon nanomaterials (CNM), synthesized from onion peel biowaste and designated as ON11, as effective agents in dye removal. These CNMs were incorporated into a mixed matrix membrane (MMM), using polysulfone (PSU) as the membrane substrate, to enhance dye adsorption. The CNM synthesis was achieved through a simple, eco-friendly process. We examined their impact on adsorption efficiency by introducing ON11 nanoparticles at varying concentrations into the PSU membrane (ON11@PSU). This CNM-embedded membrane structure offers a solution to challenges associated with the large-scale application of nanomaterials, particularly by minimizing leaching into water and improving durability. The ON11 and ON11@PSU membranes were characterized using various techniques, including SEM, Raman spectroscopy, XRD, optical profilometer, and FTIR, to confirm their behavior, morphology, and structural integrity. The surface area of ON11 was 423.26 m2 g?1, with BJH average pore diameter of 4.5 nm and BET pore volume of 0.26 cm3 g?1. ON11 nanoparticles were adsorptive in nature, and their utility in membrane adsorption is explored. The influence of parameters, including contact time, dye concentration, membrane thickness, pH, and adsorbent dosage, was systematically evaluated to optimize the dye adsorption efficiency of the ON11@PSU membrane pad. It was observed that the thickness of the 60 ?m membrane (Sa = 2.170 ?m and Sq = 2.75 ?m) showed higher removal efficiency for all the selected dyes than the other thicknesses at the native pH itself. The MMM demonstrated its effectiveness as an adsorbent membrane, achieving maximum removal efficiencies of approximately 98% for MG dye, 92% for RhB dye, and 67% for MB dye. The negative zeta potential of adsorptive…

Efficient Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue From Aqueous Solution Using Hybrid Biomass-Derived Nanostructured Carbon-TiO2 Photocatalyst
subject: biomass; biowaste-derived materials; coffee leaves; dye degradation; methylene blue remediation; photocatalysis
description: Industrial dye usage results in substantial wastewater discharge, posing environmental and health hazards. Hence, developing efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective treatment technologies is crucial. Photocatalysis using TiO? has emerged as a promising approach for dye degradation. This study explores the photocatalytic removal of methylene blue (MB), a model dye pollutant, using a composite of biomass-derived carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) and nanosized TiO? under UV light. The CNPs were synthesized via one-step pyrolysis from waste coffee leaves, offering a sustainable carbon source. The resulting CNPs (CL-10) and the TiO?-CNP composite (PC@CL-10) were thoroughly characterized using advanced techniques. Incorporating carbon significantly reduces the band gap of TiO? from ?3.2eV to 2.90eV, enhancing photocatalytic activity. Degradation studies under varying catalyst doses, dye concentrations, and pH levels demonstrate effective MB removal under UV irradiation. Photocatalytic experiments revealed up to 99% degradation of MB under UV light, while tests conducted in the dark showed negligible activity, confirming the light-dependent efficiency. Kinetic analysis indicated that intra-particle diffusion (IPD) governs the dye degradation process. Moreover, recyclability tests over seven cycles showed consistent performance with minimal decline, highlighting the catalyst's stability and reusability. These findings suggest that PC@CL-10 is a highly effective, low-cost photocatalyst with strong potential for large-scale wastewater treatment applications. 2025 The Author(s).

AI-driven defense mechanisms for Sybil and DDoS attacks in cloud networks
description: With massive DDoS attacks and Sybil attacks targeting national digital frameworks, financial institutions, and vital infrastructures, India is seeing an unparalleled increase in cyber threats. These attacks reveal significant vulnerabilities in national cybersecurity by jeopardizing system availability and integrity. Sybil attacks use numerous falsified identities to get unauthorized control over trust-based systems, while DDoS attacks flood networks with illegal traffic, making services inaccessible. This study investigates advanced machine learning (ML)-based identification and prevention strategies, including support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), decision tree (DT), and logistic regression (LR). To identify attack patterns, the methodology entails gathering actual network traffic data, preprocessing it to extract key information, and then using these models. To identify the best strategy, a comparison study is carried out depending on various parameters such as accuracy, precision, recall, and computing efficiency. The research suggests that random forest outperforms other ML algorithms in detecting Sybil attacks and DDoS attacks, achieving the maximum stability and accuracy. Nevertheless, the classification method is improved by merging decision trees and logistic regression, which further increases detection accuracy. In order to actively fight changing cyber threats, our findings highlight how important it is to include machine learning-driven security frameworks into India's cybersecurity infrastructure. 2026 selection and editorial matter, Jossy George, Kamal Upreti, Ramesh Chandra Poonia, Ankit Gautam, and Danish Nadeem; individual chapters, the contributors.

Demarked erythema, warmth, edema, and tenderness are symptoms of cellulitis affected skin. Unfortunately, due to the symptoms mimicry more than 30% of patients admitted to the hospitals are misdiagnosed as cellulitis. The existing treatment methods for the cellulitis include antibiotics and treatments associated to symptoms. Three-dimensional printing (3D printing) is emerging and innovating technology for the skin and other medical treatments. The combination of antibiotics with hydrogel and their integration with 3D printing technology can be a potential alternative to traditional dressing and solution-based approach. Current review article looks into the feasibility of 3D printing technology to manage the cellulitis-induced skin damages based on existing reports on 3D printed hydrogels for other skin problems. Review article provides insights into the cellulitis-induced skin damage, biomaterials and hydrogels in other skin damages, infections, wounds and scope of integrating 3D printing to treat to treat cellulitis. Review article projects the feasibility of 3D printed hydrogels, biomaterials, dressings, and artificial skin patches as possible solution to cellulitis-based skin damages. Furthermore, this review highlights the safety and regulatory challenges in employing 3D printing technologies for the cellulitis treatment. Current review article is first report proposing the possibility of 3D printing as alternative treatment for the cellulitis-based skin damages.

Quantum-inspired algorithms for cognitive computing: Enhancing cloud-based problem-solving
description: The convergence of quantum-inspired algorithms and cloud-based frameworks represents a transformative shift in computational capabilities tailored to the human-centric goals of Industry 5.0. Unlike Industry 4.0, which focused on automation and digitization, Industry 5.0 emphasizes intelligent systems that complement human decision-making. Quantum-inspired algorithms, derived from the principles of superposition and entanglement, offer superior capabilities in optimization and pattern recognition without requiring quantum hardware. When integrated with scalable and distributed cloud computing infrastructures, these algorithms enable high-performance cognitive computing, tackling previously intractable problems across domains. This chapter explores the theoretical foundation and practical implementation of such systems, including quantum-inspired neural networks (QiNNs), quantum-inspired immune algorithms (QiIAs), and quantum-inspired particle swarm optimization (QPSO). These models exhibit enhanced accuracy and efficiency in applications like pattern recognition, anomaly detection, and multiobjective optimization. Real-world case studies in finance, cybersecurity, healthcare, and smart grid management highlight their impact on risk modeling, threat mitigation, and decision support systems. The chapter further proposes a cloud integration framework, addressing challenges in scalability, performance, and security. Implementation strategies and architectural designs are discussed with a focus on dynamic resource management, real-time analytics, and secure deployment. The synthesis of these technologies marks a significant advancement toward achieving adaptive, intelligent, and secure computational ecosystems, aligned with the values and vision of Industry 5.0. 2026 selection and editorial matter, Jossy George, Kamal Upreti, Ramesh Chandra Poonia, Ankit Gautam, and Danish Nadeem; individual chapters, the contributors.

The competencycontrol paradox in parenting adolescents: Evidence from an Indian mixed-methods study
subject: Adolescents; India; Mixed-methods; Parenting; Qualitative
description: Background: Adolescence is a critical developmental period during which parenting practices interact with temperament and sociocultural context to shape mental health and adaptation. Most parenting models are derived from Western settings, with limited evidence from India. Methods: This simultaneous mixed methods study drew on cross sectional data from the Indian Consortium on Vulnerability to Externalizing Disorders and Addictions (cVEDA) cohort, including adolescents aged 1217 years (parent report n?=?931; child report n?=?836). Exploratory factor analysis was conducted on parent and child versions of the Alabama Parenting Questionnaire. Qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews with 31 adolescents and their parents and analysed using thematic analysis. Findings were integrated at the interpretation stage. Findings: The original APQ structure did not replicate. Parent reports yielded three dimensionsInvolvement/Positive Parenting, Poor Monitoring, and Corporal Punishmentwhile child reports yielded five, distinguishing fathers and mothers involvement. Inconsistent disciplining did not emerge as a distinct construct. Qualitative findings indicated high involvement and behavioural and psychological control, largely driven by academic goals. Adolescents experienced these practices as both supportive and restrictive, with parental openness shaping communication. Contextual pressures, including resource constraints and urban stressors, contributed to a competencycontrol paradox. Interpretations: Parenting of adolescents in India must be understood within its relational and sociocultural ecology. While involvement and control function as primary supports, excessive control may constrain broader competency development. Integrating parent and adolescent perspectives is essential for culturally grounded research and intervention. 2026 Elsevier B.V.
