Community Engagement; Safety Perceptions; Social Capital; Social Interaction; Urban Neighborhoods
This study aims to understand the patterns of safety and social relations in residential areas of cities with special reference to Delhi. Qualitative data from the interviews and focus group discussions are combined with quantitative data collected from the survey questionnaire. This paper aims to establish the factors that affect residents perception of safety such as urban design features, engagement activities, and social capital. The study emphasizes the importance of lit streets, accessible greens, and pedestrian infrastructure in improving safety perceptions and social inclusion. Neighborhood watch and other cultural activities surface as vital in the promotion of trust and responsibility among people in the community. This paper also reveals how social networks and community resilience influence the dynamics of neighborhoods. Suggested strategies for the improvement of urban planning are the incorporation of the residents opinions into the design process, financing of public areas, and backing of projects that enhance social connections. By so doing, cities can foster an environment within which people feel secure, valued, and able to play an active part in the development of the citys fabric. 2025, Green Publication.

Economic resilience in the face of pandemic: a holistic mathematical analysis of the pandemic in India
COVID-19; epidemic model; GDP; stability analysis; unemployment
COVID-19 was initiated in 2020 and caused an immediate threat to global countries in terms of both economic and health influences. In this present work, we extend the Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) model by considering two new variables, gross domestic product or GDP (G) and unemployment (U), to study the impact of this epidemic on the Indian economy during the 20202023 period. Since our extended SIR model includes two novel compartments, which are GDP and unemployment rate, we can now explore in more detail the sophisticated relationship between health and economic matters. The framework allows us to investigate the following consequences: how changes in the infection rate affect the economy and how changes in GDP and unemployment translate into the spread of this contagion. These visualizations are based on real-time quarterly data and provide full knowledge of the interaction between health and economic dynamics during the COVID-19 crisis in India. Government initiatives and regulations are also reviewed for their efficiency to contain the virus while taming the economic cost. Real-world results are contrasted with the care to find the strengths and weaknesses of the policies that come out with the underlying assumptions in the model. This paper, in other words, deploys an in-depth analysis of the convoluted links between economics, policy, and public health in the face of a pandemic with a geographic focus in India. 2025 by the authors.

A NOVEL DATA SECURE MODEL FOR INTERNET OF HEALTH THINGS WITH A NEW LIGHTWEIGHT CRYPTOGRAPHY ALGORITHM AND STEGANOGRAPHY TECHNIQUE
Crypto Algorithm; Data Security; Embedding Image; Encryption; IoT Healthcare
Ensuring the security of data in Internet of Things (IoT) based healthcare systems (HS) presents considerable challenges due to the limitations of traditional embedding methods and cryptography techniques, leading to more memory consumption, more execution time, less security, inadequate payload capacity, and performance inefficiencies. To address these issues, the Bernoulli Fish-based Stego Algorithm (BFBSA) is introduced as an innovative solution. Specifically designed for IoT healthcare data, this algorithm is validated through the encryption and embedding of healthcare data. The process involves initializing IoT healthcare data, encrypting it using the BFBSA algorithm, and embedding the encrypted data within steganographic images. Performance analysis is conducted using key metrics such as payload capacity, encryption time, memory usage, PSNR, and MSE. Comparative analysis with existing approaches highlights the BFBSA models efficiency and its effectiveness in ensuring secure and optimized data management in IoT healthcare environments.

ON NEAR Fk-PERFECT AND DEFICIENT Fk-PERFECT NUMBERS
For a positive integer n, the arithmetic function ?2(n) denotes the sum of squares of all the divisors of n. A positive integer n is called an F-perfect number if ?2(n) ? n2 = 3n. A positive integer n is termed a near F-perfect number if ?2(n) ? n2 ? d2 = 3n, where d is a proper divisor of n. Similarly, n is considered a deficient F-perfect number if ?2(n) ? n2 + d2 = 3n, where d is a proper divisor of n. In this paper, we discuss several characterizations of these numbers, establish their relations with other significant numbers, and generalize the near-perfect and deficient-perfect numbers. 2025, Colgate University.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: BRIDGING MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Community Development; Corporate Social Responsibility; Relational Ethics; Strategic Management; Technological Mediation
The paper discusses Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a mediating strategy between corporate management and community development in the diverse situations. Indeed, acknowledging the fact that CSR is no longer a pure concept of voluntary charity, but rather a significant part of business logic, the study was conducted with a qualitative and posthumanistic approach through the prism of situated inquiry. Semi-structured interviews with document and artefact analysis, and some field observation was conducted in India, Nigeria, and Saudi Arabia with 27 participants who were corporate managers and NGO and community stakeholders. Findings show that on one hand CSR is integrated as a strategy with organizational objectives, but on the other hand the perceptions differ so much. Interactions historically and the level of participatory planning tended to focus relationships. Digital dashboards were a form of technology that mediated transparency but posed the threat of dehumanizing engagement. There were continuation tensions between performance-based strategies and community-based ethics. The research comes to the conclusion that effective CSR presupposes a combination of strategic intent and trust-building and shared responsibility. It is suggested that collaborative project design, long-term partnership, and proper technological support are to be used as, rather than a substitute to direct community interaction. This issue is to be investigated in the future with respect to how non-human forces and time processes can determine the impressions and results of CSR. On the whole, the study highlights that the transformative aspect of CSR is adaptive, relational, and circumstentially-sensitive practices. 2025.

JUSTICE BEYOND COURTS: EXPLORING FEMINIST AND DIGITAL APPROACHES TO RESTORATIVE PRACTICE IN INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE
Digital Justice; Feminist Legal Theory; Intimate Partner Violence; Restorative Justice; Survivor-Centered Approaches
Intimate partner violence (IPV) has been a worldwide problem that has been quite hard to handle with traditional justice systems that lack the capacity to address the intricate needs of victims. The present paper aims to discuss how using restorative justice (RJ) based on feminist theory and driven by digital innovations, a different route to justice other than the traditional courts can be pursued. The research involves integrative qualitative method of synthesizing the results of peer-reviewed literature, policy reports on the assessment of such programs as Project Restore (New Zealand), NYC Blueprint (USA), and Open Circle (Australia), and online interventions, such as AR storytelling and digital mediation sites. This review shows that feminist models of RJ are based on the safety and empowerment of the survivor providing results that criminal courts can hardly provide. Nonetheless, these models do not have an easy time scaling because of resource limitations. Digital technologies, nevertheless, make RJ more accessible and anonymous, but at the same time they have ethical risks, including questions of privacy and algorithmic bias. The paper argues that such problems may be solved through the combination of feminist ethics and responsible digital design to create survivor-led and technology-enabling RJ systems. The results can be used in theory and policy formulation through the suggested model that will combine feminist and digital methods to make justice innovative, but ethically sound. This is an interdisciplinary approach that holds transformative prospects in the context of dealing with IPV worldwide. 2025.

Effect of Microbial Consortium on Biodegradation Process of Organic Waste Materials
Bacterial isolates; Composting; Consortium; Degradation; Solid waste; Waste disposal
Solid waste generation has significantly increased in tandem with population growth, presenting substantial challenges to human health and environmental sustainability. In developing nations such as India, traditional management practices, including incineration and open dumping, continue to prevail despite their detrimental environmental effects. There is a paucity of research focusing on microbial consortia specifically engineered for the accelerated biodegradation of heterogeneous organic waste under local conditions. This study addressed the microbial consortium isolated from waste-associated environments enhancing the rate of organic waste degradation and effect of consortium for improving compost nutrient quality compared to natural decomposition. Microbial strains were isolated from a soil sample obtained from a vegetable and fruit waste disposal site in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. Among the 50 isolates, five exhibiting strong hydrolytic activity were selected and identified through 16S rRNA sequencing as Cronobacter sakazakii LMSC, Stutzerimonas xanthomarina LMSA, Cronobacter sakazakii LMSPR, Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes LMSPE, and Staphylococcus sp. LMSL. A consortium was prepared by inoculating equal proportions of each culture, incubating for 48 hours, and applied it to waste degradation. During composting, temperature (2832 C), pH (neutral to alkaline), and moisture (68.44% in treated vs. 18% in control) were monitored. Nutrient analysis revealed higher values in the treated compost compared to the controls, contributing to enhanced soil quality and plant growth. The novelty of this study resides in the formulation of a native microbial consortium from waste-associated bacteria, which demonstrated superior biodegradation efficiency and compost quality compared to natural decomposition. 2026 Widener University School of Civil Engineering.

Attitude of Parents Towards Various Behavior Management Techniques Utilized in Pediatric Dental Treatments
Behavior management techniques (BMT); Child behavior; Dental treatment; Parent attitudes; Pediatric dentistry
Dental experts are trusted to apply the knowledge and abilities they have acquired during their dental education to the diagnosis and effective treatment of any dental illness. When it comes to pediatric patients, however, the dentist's responsibility is different. However, without the right behavior management method (BMT), therapy outcomes would not be effective. Sometimes young children behave disruptively during dental visits, which makes it easier or harder for the dentist to perform dental work. Nonetheless, before being applied to children, behavior management strategies need the parents' acceptance and consent. This review's objective is to evaluate the dentists' use of effective behavior modification techniques (BMT) as well as the parents' attitudes regarding these techniques. RJPT All right reserved.

Hijab row verdict in India: A sentimental analysis of user responses on Facebook
The hijab controversy, a hot topic in India since January 2022, emerged from a clash between students and college authorities in Karnataka, a state in India. The dispute made its way to Karnatakas High Court, which, on 15 March 2022, ruled that the hijab was not mandatory for religious practices. This decision stirred widespread debates, especially on social media platforms like Facebook. This study is focused on user reactions in The Times of India Dailys official Facebook page, employing sentiment analysis to decipher public emotions, attitudes, and opinions. Nearly 200 comments posted on the verdict day were analyzed, utilizing the routine activity theory (RAT), spiral of silence theory, and online disinhibition effect. The research introduced a unique model, RAT+A, to enhance analysis. As a significant platform for public discourse, Facebook played a crucial role in capturing diverse societal sentiments and reactions regarding this social issue. 2025, First Monday.

Enhancing Personalization in Search Engines Through Behavioral Profiling
Behavioral Profiling; Information Retrieval; Machine Learning; Personalization; Search Engines; User Behavior; User Modeling
With the development of search engines, people demand more contextual, relevant, and important results according to their needs and preferences. The current paper will examine the enhancement of search engine personalization through behavioral profiling, which involves capturing user interaction data, such as search histories, clicks, and other similar data, to understand user interests and intentions. The behavioral profiling promotes the ability to adjust the results to the requirements of mutual changes in user behavior and apply machine learning algorithms and advanced data mining techniques. We describe the key aspects of the successful behavioral profiling systems, such as user modeling, data collection frameworks, and privacy boundaries of the data protection. The paper will address the points mentioned by providing behavioral profiling to enhance user satisfaction and effective search and engagement. It will discuss the predictive relevance ranking's triple impacts on socioeconomic gains: time, energy costs, and attention time. We also discuss the ethical issues of user data collection, and the invitation implies achieving the appropriate compromise between individualization and privacy. By the case studies and comparisons, we affirm that the behavioral personalization greatly improves the accuracy of the search when the methods are either static or generic. This study enhances the design of a smart, convenient search engine by cultivating actionable, individual-sensitive recency search. It aims to smoothly aid personalized interactions in real time, inspiring advancement in context-sensitive retrieval systems. The Research Publication,.

Academic Search Engines; Explainable AI; Information Retrieval; Interfaces for Trust; Transparency; Trustworthy AI; User Trust; XAI; XAI
Due to the rapid increase in scholarly publications globally, researchers rely heavily on specialized academic search engines to gather pertinent information. However, the algorithms used in many of these systems create a black box that breaches transparency, significantly eroding user trust and interpretability. Thanks to XIR, Explainable Information Retrieval, this issue has become a thing of the past. Users can now receive easily understood rationales for why documents were retrieved and how the documents were ranked. This work examines the various XIR techniques integrated into academic search tools, assesses their application methods, and analyzes how effectively they enhance users' understanding, satisfaction, decision-making, and information processing. The paper also formulates a central proposal, which incorporates important elements of XIR, and highlights remnant problems that require deeper analysis. The Research Publication, www.trp.org.in.

Investigating the Role of Intelligent HR Systems in Enhancing the Relationship Between Employee Engagement and Performance: A Computational Perspective for Economic Development
and Organization Culture; Economic Development; Employee Engagement; Employee Satisfaction; Human Capital Management Practices (HCMPs); Motivation; Organizational Performance; Quality
This study examines the impact of Human Capital Management Practices (HCMPs), specifically employment opportunities, training, and rewards, on employee performance. Work engagement is a mediating component in this analysis. The results indicate that HCMPs enhance employee performance by increasing work engagement. This demonstrates the strategic role that HR plays in developing a motivated workforce that propels business success. Engaging employees is essential for every business to succeed in providing its clients with high-quality services; engaged employees treat customers royally and talk about the success of their organization. According to research, engaged workers are 87% less likely to quit than disengaged ones. They tend to maintain regular attendance without absenteeism, treat their work with care, and contribute to the business's growth. As a result, they are often rewarded for their dedication and commitment. The manager must communicate with employees, listen to their concerns, and reward them for improved work. Employee engagement, on the other hand, improves performance and helps the company expand. It is bothering because employees who are less engaged are more likely to leave than those who are more engaged. When workers are engaged, they work hard, do better at their jobs, and stick with the company for years. To measure the level of engagement, research indicates that companies with poor employee engagement experienced an average operational income decrease of almost 32%, created a foundation for engagement to occur easily, set goals and tracked employee engagement, and encouraged continued high engagement levels with routine public recognition for employees who are engaged. The primary task is to break the culture of dependency on leaders and develop teamwork with visibility to accountability and engagement. This empowers employees to solve their issues and provides opportunities for coaching and mentoring. High employee engagement results in high organizational performance. The Research Publication.

Leveraging AI And Blockchain for Secure Digital Right Management in Libraries
Artificial Intelligence (AI); Blockchain; Content Security; Digital Rights Management (DRM); Intellectual Property; Library Technology; Smart Contracts
The urge to develop the Digital rights management systems that are well-established, protecting the intellectual property, and still facilitating the reasonable access to information is supported by the faster rate of digitization of library materials. The given paper investigates how Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain can be combined to support the safety, accountability, and effectiveness of Digital Rights Management (DRM) systems utilized in modern libraries. AI allows advanced content recognition, behavioral analytics, and authorization, the most important features of intelligent and dynamic rights enforcement. Conversely, Blockchain offers an immutable and decentralized historical document into which the administration of licensing agreements, property, and transactions can be documented and which will reduce the chances of illegal access and piracy. Smart contracts are issued in Blockchain platforms that allow libraries to provide license compliance with the administered copyright licensing, real-time auditing control of access, and numerous others. Licensing requirements can be forecasted, irregularities detected, and fair use policies recommended using automated algorithms formulated using content metadata and usage patterns. When these technologies are integrated, it forms a very accurate and trustworthy digital rights management (DRM) system, which is advantageous to the authors, libraries, and users. The study will present a model that has a conceptual framework aimed at showing what AI and Blockchain technology can become in library DRM systems. In the model design, the privacy of the data, data accuracy, and the ability of the system to expand and the legal issues are considered to be major concerns. Besides, the deliberation focuses on the complexity of the constituent parts as well as interoperability and technology ethics. The introduction of other new technologies leads to an unparalleled change in the way digital resources are organized, accessed, and secured in the library setting and introduces increasingly powerful and flexible information systems.

Gamification Analytics for Enhancing Engagement in Digital Repositories
Academic Libraries; Analytics; Digital Repositories; Gamification; Information Retrieval; User Behavior; User Engagement
Digital repositories are critical in storing and distributing of scholarly materials and research data applicable in different fields. One thing, which is a problem despite the academic setting, is the need to sustain a user activity as the motivation to use a repository is not always consistent. One of the issues that could be solved with the help of Gamification is the need to maintain interaction by incorporating game elements into non-game contexts. This article presents a discussion on enhancing interaction with digital repository users and finding information using gamification analytics. By capturing real-time data and making behavioral decisions, we will learn how users engage with the gamification capabilities, such as earning points, badges, leaderboard position, and tracking achievements. This paper will use case study as a research design to investigate the impact of game-like characteristics integrated in an academic repository system. Key performance indicators (KPIs) that are used to measure levels of user motivation and engagement are session time, frequency of visits, and depth of reading. The findings show that the users experienced more active and content-oriented discovery experiences in comparison to the repository when it was configured in relation to their preferences and objectives using user-centered gamification strategies. Also, the study stresses the necessity of constant evaluation and flexible structures to track engagement over a longer period. This study also contributes to the knowledge of digital library sciences by forming a model of introducing gamification strategies into management systems based on data analysis. The results show that analytics can be used as evaluative measures of participation and as evaluative criteria for adjusting designs and enhancing the experience. The Research Publication,.
