INTRODUCTION
World politics in the twenty-first century represents a complex arena characterised by a diversity of paradigms. These paradigms entail a dynamic interplay of conventional and newer ways of engagement. Today, the globalising world witnesses newer imaginations of space and interactions where state actors continue to enjoy a preeminent status, adopting policies based on imaginations of space in terms of connectivity and gateways while maintaining their territorial integrity. They devise a whole array of mechanisms to define, redefine and secure their interests as well as elevate their aspirations of assuming newer responsibilities and bigger roles. What we witness today is dynamic endeavours by the states to hold on to and amplify their traditional roles and carving out newer contours of forging and consolidating relationships in the global framework of international relations. This also leads to the construction of new geo-strategic and economic hotspots. This complex interplay of the traditional and the newer interactions creates both synergies and discord. The Indo-Pacific represents such a hotspot in contemporary world politics, and Indias engagement with Southeast Asia is a significant area of interest therein. 2024 Taylor & Francis. -

Green and Sustainable Software Model for IT Enterprises
The present study is based on developing a Green and Sustainable software because in the present-day computing devices are used for all kinds of purposes and they consume a lot of energy to perform these services. The ICT sector itself consumes a lot of energy so there is a need to think of alternatives that can reduce the level of energy consumption, thus, green ICT practice can be a good option. There is, however, a scarcity of researches that explains how the maintenance of green knowledge in ICT software development may be implemented. Since we recognize that software development process (SDL) plays an essential role in enabling the ICT community, uncontrolled green knowledge in developing software that would lead to the dilemma of failing to satisfy both the community's business and environmental requirements. Therefore, this research will concentrate on presenting a methodology applying an innovative model for managing the green software development and implementation. Keeping this concern in mind the present paper is going to provide a Green and Sustainable software model which can be used in green ICT practices and will be helpful in reducing the energy consumption used by computers. 2021 IEEE. -
Interparental Conflict and Young Adult Romantic Relationships: A Systematic Review
In the last two decades, researchers have been progressively investigating the impact of interparental conflict (IPC) on young adults romantic relationships. This systematic review aimed to synthesize literature on IPC and romantic relationship outcomes among young adults and highlight mechanisms found in this link. Following the PRISMA protocol, 3232 studies were identified using Boolean searches on ProQuest, PubMed, EBSCOhost, Jstor, Cochrane, and Google Scholar, and 17 met the eligibility criteria. To be included, in addition to having IPC and romantic relationship outcomes as variables, studies had to be quantitative in design, have a mean sample age of 1825, include only participants in romantic relationships at the time of the study, and be published in English with full text available. The review found that IPC is associated with negative conflict management, both perpetration and victimization of aggression, worse communication, negative conflict behaviors, and poor relationship quality. Other outcomes like relationship satisfaction, commitment, as well as mediator variables in the link between IPC and young adult romantic relationship outcomes, such as attitudes towards marriage and conflict attributions, yielded varied results. Several shortcomings in the methodology of the reviewed articles, such as the research sample and measures, were discovered. To deal with the impact of IPC on offsprings romantic relationships, preventive interventions should be designed and evaluated, and more research with different variables and study designs, with more men, other ethnicities, and more representative sample frames are needed to detect crucial mediators and obtain reliable and generalizable results.

Pan-generation investigation of sustainability factors in conjunction with personality aspects influencing consumer's perception towards sustainable marketing
Sustainability has become the goal of governments and organizations worldwide since the 2030 agenda of the United Nations was declared. The large number of products has emerged in the market that claims to be green and sustainable or promise to serve a social cause. Even though numerous studies that claim consumers are increasingly conscious of their choices and consumption behaviour there has been a marked gap between this awareness and the actual behaviour exhibited. In a quest to comprehend the curious gap between the attitude and behaviour of consumers, several studies have endeavored to find a plausible explanation. Marketing specialists have come up with several strategies in order to make sustainable marketing a success but inexplicably still fail to do so. This study proposes a conceptual framework that comprehensively explains the impact of external and internal drivers for a consumer's perception of products that claim to be sustainable in nature, which may eventually explain the attitude-behaviour gap. This has been constructed using well-established consumer behaviour and personality theories. Sample size was calculated using proportion to population method and was derived as 270. Judgment and convenience sampling were used to collect the data through a structured questionnaire. The study uncovered that age influences the attitudes of consumers and both Gen X (cohort born between 1965-79) and Y (cohort born between 1980-96) bear positive attitudes towards sustainable marketing. Pricing had a major influence as well, buyers who ranked high on the 'Conventional' and 'Realistic' interests of the RIASEC personality model had a more positive perception. 2021 Ecological Society of India.

HEALTH EXPENDITURES AND HEALTH OUTCOMES IN CENTRAL EUROPE AND THE BALTIC REGION
In Central Europe and the Baltic region, healthcare expenditure has been growing slightly faster than across the euro area and in OECD countries. However, health outcomes as regards chronic diseases prove to be modest in the euro area and OECD countries compared to Central Europe and the Baltic region. Panel data analysis and country-specific regressions were conducted using World Bank data spanning from 2000 to 2019. Evidence suggests a significant correlation between private and current health expenditures and reduced mortality from chronic diseases in males, females and the total population across the panel, leading to improved longevity. Yet, public health expenditure does not correlate with a substantial reduction in mortality or a higher lifespan among the population, whether considered collectively or among males and females separately. Similarly, an increase in current health expenditure by one unit leads to significant reductions in mortality from non-communicable diseases: by 29 percent in the total population, 22 percent in females and 36 percent in males. Public health spending in Lithuania and Russia has been shown to decrease mortality from non-communicable diseases. Furthermore, chronic mortality is associated with a significant decline in labour productivity: by 42 percent in the total population, 40 percent in males and 45 percent in females. Therefore, interventions implemented through public health systems may reduce mortality from chronic conditions in the study countries. (2023), (Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University).

Impact of COVID-19 on the Share Prices of Life Insurance Companies: A Case of Economic Sustainability in India
The outbreak of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) has caused many economic disruptions worldwide. In particular, the Indian insurance industry has been adversely affected due to the impact of the pandemic. Furthermore, this market volatility has caused a steep fall in the stock prices of life insurance companies in the country. The share prices of life insurance companies have been affected due to decreased demand and uncertain market conditions. This study has considered three life insurance scripts from NSE, namely SBI Life, HDFC Life, and ICICI PRU, for the period from April 2020 to July 2021; the data has been taken on a daily basis. The methodology adopted was one of moving average trading rules to ascertain the profitability of the rule. Market returns of life insurance companies are not satisfying for the investor. Due to the pandemic, the insurance sector has been one of the most hard-hit sectors due to claims and releases. Life insurance has performed poorly during the period of the study. According to the data, if an investor entered the market during that period, then their position would have been stable, but investors holding the stock would have suffered a huge loss during this period. Investors need to wait for better opportunities post COVID-19. 2024 selection and editorial matter, Shalini Singh, Bhavna Sharma, and Garima Madaan Dua. -
Determinants of health system efficiency in middle-east countries-DEA and PLS-SEM model approach
This study presented a radically different approach to efficiency evaluation based on the impact of the Socioeconomic and Behavioral health determinants framework on health outcomes for the countries of Middle-East region. The level of education, employment, and the percentage of the population living in the rural area constitutes the socioeconomic framework. The prevalence of tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption formed the behavioral framework. The model considers life expectancy at birth and mortality rate from non-communicable diseases as health outcomes. The econometric models of the PLS-SEM, the DEA, and the Malmquist TFP index are used to analyze the data. The DEA results highlight differences in the impact of socioeconomic and behavioral health determinants on health outcomes across the countries of the Middle-East region. Finally, evidence from the Malmquist TFP index shows an improvement in health production between the periods 20062017. Moreover, a substantial gap in efficiency is observed between economically prosperous countries and others who are less well-off. Furthermore, socioeconomic and behavioral frameworks positively impact life expectancy at birth. Similarly, the two frameworks have a negative impact on the mortality rate from chronic non-communicable diseases. A higher impact on health outcomes is observed in the socioeconomic as a behavioral framework in the model. The studys results have contributed to the policymakers, citizens, and the countrys government to compare the health system efficiencies across the middle-east region, which would help achieve the health outcome more efficiently.

Towards Automated and Optimized Security Orchestration in Cloud SLA
In cloud computing, providers pool their resources and make them available to customers. Next-generation computer scientists are flocking to the cutting-edge field of cloud computing for their research and exploration of uncharted territory. There are still several barriers that cloud service providers must overcome in order to provide cloud services in accordance with service level agreements. Each cloud service provider aspires to achieve maximum performance as per Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and this is especially true when it comes to the delivery of services. A cloud service level agreement (SLA) guarantees that cloud service providers will satisfy the needs of large businesses and offer their clients with a specified list of services. The authors offer a web service level agreementinspired approach for cloud service agreements. We adopt patterns and antipatterns to symbolize the best and worst practices of OCCI (Open Cloud Computing Interface Standard), REST (Representational State Transfer), and TOSCA (Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications) with DevOps solutions, all of which API developers should bear in mind when designing APIs. When using this method, everything pertaining to the cloud service, from creation to deployment to measurement to evaluation to management to termination, may be handled mechanically. When distributing resources to cloud apps, our system takes into account the likelihood of SLA breaches and responds by providing more resources if necessary. We say that for optimal performance, our suggested solution should be used in a private cloud computing setting. As more and more people rely on cloud computing for their day-to-day workloads, there has been a corresponding rise in the need for efficient orchestration and management strategies that foster interoperability. 2023 International Journal on Recent and Innovation Trends in Computing and Communication.
