Transforming invasive weeds into energy solutions: water hyacinth-based hybrid electrodes for green supercapacitors
The excessive proliferation of Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth) poses significant environmental challenges; however, its abundant biomass offers a sustainable solution for energy storage applications. This study presents an eco-friendly approach to fabricating high-performance supercapacitor electrodes using water hyacinth-derived activated carbon (WH), polypyrrole (PPy), and titanium dioxide (TiO2). The WH-TiO2/PPy hybrid electrode was synthesized via hydrothermal treatment and interfacial polymerization, ensuring a resource-efficient and environmentally responsible process. The composite exhibited a high gravimetric capacitance of 610 F g?1 at 0.5 A g?1 in 3 M KOH, with excellent cycling stability (94% retention after 5000 cycles). An asymmetric supercapacitor with WH-TiO2/PPy as the positive electrode and activated carbon as the negative electrode delivered an energy density of 98 W h kg?1 and a power density of 5606 W kg?1. This work highlights the potential of transforming invasive biomass into cost-effective, high-performance energy storage materials, advancing the principles of green chemistry through waste valorization and sustainable material design. 2025 The Royal Society of Chemistry. -

Transforming Teacher Education: Leveraging Smart University Technologies to Foster Equity, Innovation, and Inclusive Learning
This chapter critically examines how emerging technologies are transforming teacher education within the evolving model of the Smart University, with a focus on aligning innovation with the universal values of educational equality and justice. Through a multidisciplinary lens, it explores how tools such as artificial intelligence, learning analytics, digital classrooms, and institutional digital infrastructures can be strategically adopted to modernize education and foster inclusive and human-centered learning environments. The Smart University is positioned as a space of both technological and ethical transformation, requiring a rethinking of pedagogical goals and responsibilities in teacher preparation. Central to this vision is the integration of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), a framework that anticipates learner diversity by offering flexible pathways for engagement, knowledge acquisition, and expression. When embedded in smart systems, UDL enables teacher education to move beyond standardized approaches, promoting accessibility, personalization, and learner agency. The chapter also addresses critical challenges associated with smart technologies, including digital inequities, data privacy concerns, algorithmic bias, and the risk of depersonalized learning. It argues that technological progress without ethical grounding can exacerbate educational disparities rather than resolve them. To counter this, the chapter calls for a values-driven approach to technology integration-one that centres inclusion, justice, and equity. In doing so, it reimagines the Smart University as a high-tech institution and as a transformative environment that equips future educators to navigate diverse, digitally enriched, and socially responsible classrooms. 2026, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

The increasing reliance on tele-therapy for mental health support highlights the need for advanced methodologies to improve diagnostic precision and patient outcomes. This study explores the transformative potential of transfer learning in natural language processing (NLP) to enhance the detection of mental health conditions during tele-therapy sessions. Leveraging a dataset sourced from mental health-related subreddits, which includes conversations mapped to five target categories (Stress, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Personality Disorder, and Anxiety), we fine-tuned a pre-trained BERT model for multi-class classification. Our study's results highlight significant performance enhancements achieved through the implementation of transformer-based models. The proposed framework achieved an accuracy of 83%, with macro average precision, recall, and F1-score values of 0.84, 0.83, and 0.83, respectively. Class-specific analysis further underscores the model's robustness, with precision ranging from 0.75 to 0.92 and recall values exceeding 0.80 for most categories. These outcomes significantly outperform traditional machine learning models such as Random Forest (accuracy: 72.65%) and Support Vector Machines (accuracy: 69.71%), demonstrating the superior capacity of BERT to capture complex linguistic patterns and semantic nuances in patient interactions. This research underscores the transformative role of transfer learning in NLP applications for tele-therapy, offering a scalable and precise solution for mental health assessment and paving the way for personalized, AI-driven interventions.

Transgender women as knights of faith: navigating ethics between national conservatism and radical gender ideology
This study explores mental health and spirituality among transgender women in India, examining their experiences within global conflicts between national conservatism and radical gender ideology. Analyzing stories of eleven trans women, we show how faith provides resilience amid rejection and discrimination. We contend that right-wing populist movements redirect anxieties about capitalist exploitation onto marginalized groups, particularly transgender individuals. Through Kierkegaardian ethical lenses, we show how Hijra women embody Kierkegaards concept of knights of faith: transcending conformity to embrace authentic existence while maintaining mental health and spiritual integrity. We propose a MarxistKierkegaardian synthesis combining critique with existential authenticity, linking personal resilience. 2025 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. -
Transgenders in the Mainstream: Welfare Schemes in KeralaKochi Metro Rail Project, Education Programme, Health Clinics, and Old-Age Pension
Marginalization is the process which inhibits an individual or community from enjoying the rights, privileges, resources or opportunities enjoyed by other members of the society. Of all its marginalized sections, society most often tends to ignore the conditions of transgender persons. The 2011 census reported 480,000 of Indias population as transgender. Kerala pioneered a model for a trans-friendly state1 with the launch of a 10-day-long state-wide survey, which was followed by the introduction of a state policy for transgender individuals, the establishment of a justice board and Indias first transgender school, scholarships for transgender individuals and the introduction of health clinics, old-age pensions and employment for them in the Kochi Metro, as well as various literary, sports and fashion events. This study is an attempt to critically explore the welfare schemes for transgender persons in Kerala amidst recent developments. 2021 SAGE Publications. -
Transient analysis of the reinforced concrete framed structure with steel fibres when subjected to blast loads
In the recent past in major cities all over the world, public structures are vulnerable to blast loads caused by explosions either accidentally or intentionally. The purposeful causes are not on solidified military targets however on significant regular civilian structures, similar to business, monetary and urban focuses. The study of fortified solid Ground + 3 Storied structure exposed to impact burdens have picked up significance, as routinely the strengthened solid structures are not intended for shoot stacks the same number of the stacking codes due not command for the equivalent and because of the way that measuring the greatness of the impact burden is hard to appraise. In any case, the structures are defenceless to harm from the blast. To secure the life of individuals and to limit the harm to the structure, it has turned out to be basic to consider the impact of impact stacks too notwithstanding the customary burdens, considered according to the overarching codes, during the investigation and plan of every single open structure. The charge weights of the explosive used on the structure are 8kg, 16 kg and 24kg. The equivalent blast pressure subjected on the structure is determined, to study its corresponding effects for stand-off distances of 3000 mm and 6000mm using surface blast load. The behavior of the structure is studied by varying the parameters and verified which of these parameters can be critical to the performance of the structure. The response of the ground floor + 3 upper storied reinforced concrete skeletal structure is studied for understanding the variation of the displacements, strains and stresses for the parameters considered. The 3D modeling of structure and structural components were produced by utilizing of PTC CREO 3.0. Discretization (meshing) of structural also its components were used in HYPERMESH. Static analysis and blast load analysis was carried out using ANSYS. A reinforced concrete structure can be designed and constructed to passively control the effects of the blast loads on the structure by including steel fibers to the concrete to improve its performance by reducing the deflections and the strain rates based on the standoff distance and the charge weight used in the explosion. 2019, Institute of Advanced Scientific Research, Inc..

Transition and Negotiation of Gender-Role Identity: The Experience of the Indian Air Force Women Piilots
The masculine culture of military and the feminine attributes of women officers stand in total contrast to each other. The conundrum at the heart if this research is to analyse the experience of the Indian Air force women pilots in terms of transition of the gender-role identity and further how they negotiate their identity as a woman while performing highly masculine military role. Military provides an interesting ground to study gender identity and possibility for cultural change because it categorically rejects prevailing models of femininity.12 Indian Air Force pilots (serving and retired) were interviewed utilizing in-depth interview technique. Findings indicated transition of gender role identity as these women begin to give a new meaning to their identity. While these women move away from the traditional femininity, they do not cease to recognize and explore their feminine side when needed. Indeed the Indian Air Force women pilots exemplify and redefine the culturally recognized definition of femininity. They craft a place where they appear to be enjoying the privileges of both the worlds and rise above the gender debate or biases. Key words: Gender-role identity, femininity, transition, negotiation.
