Global University Ranking Systems: Methodologies, Impact, and Repercussions
description: University rankings have become a powerful tool for guiding students on where to study and what kind of future they can expect. While rankings offer a quick guide to the best opportunities, they often oversimplify important factors like campus culture, program strengths, and personal needs, which are crucial for shaping a students experience and success. This chapter explores how rankings influence student choice, career outcomes, and how they impact students from diverse backgrounds. It highlights the limitations of rankings, which may marginalize innovative institutions or lesser- known fields. The chapter advocates for a student- centered approach, integrating rankings with students unique needs and aspirations. This shift promotes inclusion, equity, and a broader recognition of institutions contributing to meaningful educational experiences, encouraging a more balanced use of rankings to make informed choices and expand the higher education landscape. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

Comparative Evaluation of Curcumin Derivatives Loaded 3D Printable Chitosan/Gelatin Hydrogels: Release Behaviour, Antimicrobial, Antioxidant, and Immunomodulatory Properties
subject: 3D printing; Anti-inflammatory; Antioxidant activity; Chitosan; Curcumin derivatives; Gelatin; Wound healing
description: The development of multifunctional scaffolds with improved mechanical strength, swelling resistance, antibacterial activity and cytocompatibility is crucial for tissue engineering. In this study, chitosangelatin (CH GT) scaffolds were reinforced with curcumin (Cur), nano-curcumin (nCur), and PLGA-encapsulated curcumin (PLGA_Cur) to enhance physicochemical and biological properties. SEM micrographs confirmed uniform, interconnected pores with reduced pore wall disruption upon Cur incorporation. Mechanical testing revealed that the highest tensile strength and tensile modulus for CH GT nCur were observed at 34kPa and 58kPa, respectively. Swelling studies showed a significant reduction in equilibrium swelling ratio from ~ 675% (CH GT) to ~ 340% (CH GT_nCur), correlating with enhanced hydrogen bonding and physical crosslinking. Antibacterial assays indicated significant inhibition against S. aureus (~ 94%) and E. coli (~ 92%) for CH GT_nCur. Cytocompatibility tests showed > 85% cell viability across all formulations, with CH GT_nCur supporting superior cell attachment and cell migration capabilities compared to controls. Cur release from CH GT Cur and CH GT nCur hydrogel scaffolds resulted in antioxidant activity; however it was slightly impeded by rapid release. In the PLGA-based system, antioxidant activity is enhanced with sustained release. CH GT Cur and CH GT nCur enhanced M2 macrophage polarization (p < 0.001) compared to CH GT Cur hydrogels, which successfully decreased inflammation and oxidative stress. Notably, despite a delayed M2 response, the PLGA-encapsulated Cur system (CH GT PLGA_Cur) demonstrated sustained decrease of ROS levels and iNOS expression, suggesting extended anti-inflammatory effect. These results demonstrate the promise of CH GT-based hydrogels, particularly the PLGA_Cur system, for oxidative stress management and regulated immunomodulation in therapeutic settings.

Study of SH wave propagation in Piezo-material semiconductors with differential imperfect contact mechanism by approximating higher-order quasi-classical method
subject: attenuation coefficient; imperfect interface; love-type wave; phase velocity; quasi-classical approach; Wentzel-Kramer-Brillouin
description: This study investigates the propagation of a Love-type wave in a multiferroic solid cylindrical shell structure with an imperfect magneto-electroelastic (MEE) interface. An analytical solution for the layer is derived using the spatially variable Quasi-Classical approach. A numerical example illustrates the significant impact of various parameters on the wave's phase velocities and attenuation coefficients. Additionally, graphical comparisons are presented to evaluate the effects of mechanical, electrical, magnetic, electro-mechanical, magneto-mechanical, and magneto-electrical imperfections under electrically and magnetically open and short boundary conditions. The results reveal that the electrically and magnetically open case exhibits significantly higher phase velocities compared to the short case. Key findings are the following: the bonding parameter is directly proportional to phase velocity but inversely proportional to the attenuation coefficient, and imperfection parameters profoundly influence both the phase velocity and attenuation coefficient profiles. This theoretical study provides valuable insights into piezoelectric and piezomagnetic coupling mechanisms, highlighting their potential applications in designing advanced devices such as sensors, actuators, energy harvesters, and nano-electronic systems. The novelty of this work lies in the application of the Quasi-Classical approach to solving differential equations for the first time in a polar coordinate system. IMechE 2025

A MULTI-OBJECTIVE HUNTER-PREY OPTIMIZATION FOR OPTIMAL INTEGRATION OF CAPACITOR BANKS AND PHOTOVOLTAIC DISTRIBUTION GENERATION UNITS IN RADIAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS
subject: Active power loss reduction; Capacitor bank placement; Distribution Generation; Hunter-Prey Optimization; PV-DG integration; Voltage stability
description: This article put forward the determination of the optimal siting and sizing of capacitor banks and PV-DG (Photo-Voltaic Distribution Generation) units in a radial distribution system. A modern population-based optimization algorithm, Hunter-Prey Optimization (HPO), is applied to determine the optimal capacitor bank and PV-DG placement. This algorithm, HPO, got its motivation from the trapping behaviour of the carnivore (predator/hunter) like lions and wolves towards their target animal like deer. The typical IEEE-33 & 69 test bus systems are scrutinized for validating the effectiveness of the suggested algorithm using MATLAB software R2021b version. The acquired results are collated with the existing heuristic algorithms for the active power loss criterion. The nominal or base values for system losses and voltage profile were considered for the comparison, with the results from HPO. The HPO application has an efficient performance in figuring out the most favourable location and capacity of the capacitor banks and PV DGs compared with the other techniques. 2023 by authors and Galileo Institute of Technology and Education of the Amazon (ITEGAM).

HunterPrey Optimization Algorithm for Optimal Allocation of PV, DSTATCOM, and EVCS in Radial Distribution Systems
subject: intelligent algorithm; optimal allocation; radial distribution systems; voltage stability
description: This research article instigates a seminal approach for optimizing reactive power in renewable energy sources (RES) and electric vehicles (EVs) coalescing distribution systems, using the innovative HunterPrey Optimization (HPO) algorithm in conjunction with DSTATCOM as a reactive power compensator. The proposed methodology aims to minimize losses, enhance voltage stability, and improve overall system performance by simultaneously optimizing reactive power flows in photovoltaic RES (PV_DG), EV charging stations (EVCS), and DSTATCOMs within the distribution system. Simulations carried on IEEE-33, IEEE-69, and IEEE-118 test bus systems in MATLAB environment demonstrate that the HPO-based approach achieves a 91.47% and 96.61% reduction in real power losses and an improvement in voltage profile with a minimum voltage value of 0.991 and 0.994 p.u. (respectively for IEEE-33 and 69 bus systems), compared to traditional algorithms. These results highlight the lofty performance of the HPO method, effectively addressing the challenges posed by the integration of RES and EVs along with DSTATCOM. 2024 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

A Systemic Review on Omicron Variant of SARS-CoV-2
subject: Entry mechanism; Omicron; SARS-CoV-2 Variant
description: As the new strains spread around the world, scientists have been trying to learn more about the different strains, especially Omicron, and how SARS-CoV2 acts in general. Studying historical trends of virus spread and the structure of the virus and its strains, as well as all the mechanisms it needs to survive, can help identify the symptoms and diagnose and treat the disease. The research has shown that the new strains, including Omicron, have a higher rate of mutation and transmissibility. Additionally, due to the rapid spread of the virus, there has not been a significant amount of time to understand the severity of the infection. To better understand the novel variants, a detailed analysis of the basic pathophysiology of the virus is needed. This includes transcriptome analysis for the recombination index to identify variation in the strand. This aided in the diagnostic process, and therapeutics for mutants of the virus could be treated. The Omicron strain is particularly threatening due to its rapid transmission rate and its property of immune evasion, which can make it less vulnerable to vaccination. 2023 Biomedical & Pharmacology Journal.

Carcinogens in Food: Evaluating the Presence of Cadmium, Lead, in Poultry Meat in South India
subject: Cadmium and Zinc; Lead; Poultry chicken; toxic effects
description: Objective: Local chickens were spontaneously sampled and slaughtered in the central markets of Coimbatore, Erode, and Namakkal districts, South India. Materials and Methods: Wet digestion was used to extract lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and zinc (Zn) in their blood and selected different organs (intestine, breast, liver, and gizzard), and their concentrations were measured using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Results: Apart from the blood of chickens from Coimbatore and Namakkal, where Pb was not found, the concentrations of Pb in the blood and organs of chickens from the three towns ranged from 1.8 to 8.33 mg/kg, exceeding the maximum tolerance thresholds (0.1 mg/kg) in internal organs of poultry birds. Except for the intestine of chickens from the three areas, Cd was only found in the heart, blood, and gizzard of Erode chickens, as well as the liver and gizzard of Namakkal chickens, in concentrations ranging from 0.13 to 0.58. According to threshold level, the upper limit met the maximum limits (0.5 mg/kg). Zn was found in all sections of chickens from the three selected districts, with concentrations ranging from 4.96 to 174.17 mg/kg. Conclusion: Its concentrations were within the permissible limits (10-50 mg/kg) in some areas of certain chickens, but it surpassed the permissible limit in the liver of chicken from Coimbatore. Any organs and blood from local chickens sold in Coimbatore, Erode, and Namakkal areas can be hazardous to ones health.

Exosome mediated cell signal toward breast cancer metastasis: A comprehensive review
subject: Apoptosis; Breast cancer; Cell cargo; Cell signaling; Exosome; miRNA (micro-RNA) mediation
description: Breast cancer (BC) is among the most frequent cancer and is, more challenging to treat due to its heterogeneity and metastatic ability. Among extracellular vesicles, exosomes are quite significant for diagnosis and prognosis, given their pleiotropy and drug-carrying abilities. Studying their functions, morphology, biogenesis, and involvement in important pathways can help us understand their role in BC proliferation. A detailed review of their roles in different stages of BC as metastatic disease, such as proliferation, intravasation, epithelial to mesenchymal transition, extravasation, immune evasion, and metastatic growth, can help us understand how to target therapy as well as diagnosis. In the metastatic process, exosome involvement can also be tied to the seed and soil hypothesis, allowing us to understand the direction of progression. From their isolation to the study of their contents in relevance to BC in the process of detection, we have therapeutic applications and can make a significant contribution to the field of oncology. Hence, the present review focuses on this exosome-mediated cell signaling molecule and its importance in BC progression and development. 2022 Anushka and Pappuswamy, et al.

Computational Chemical Property Prediction and Anticancer Simulation of Heterocyclic Molecules
subject: Chemistry
description: The Density Functional Theory (DFT) technique is popularly employed in establishing organic molecules' structural properties and reactivities. The B3LYP hybrid functional with the basis set 6-311G++(d,p) is utilised in the computational calculations with Gaussian 09W software. The DFT studies include energy minimisation (geometry optimisation), frontier molecular orbitals (FMO) analyses, theoretical UV spectral computation, natural bond orbital (NBO) evaluation, Topological analyses using Multiwfn 3.8 software are performed to evaluate the Pauli repulsion in atomic orbitals (as shown by ELF (Electron Localisation Function) maps), the areas of strong and weak pi-delocalisation in the molecules (as depicted in LOL (Localised Orbital Locator) maps) and the weak non-covalent intra-molecular interactions (as indicated in colour maps of RDG (Reduced Density Gradient)). Pharmacological evaluation is performed using SwissADME, ADMETLab 2.0, and PreADMET online tools. Molecular docking is performed using AutoDock Tools 1.5.6 with select anticancer target proteins to predict the bioactivity potential of the title molecules. The molecules studied in the work include a spiro compoun d, spiro[1H-indole-3,2-3H-1,3- benzothiazole]-2-one, a 2(3H)-furanone, 3,3,5-triphenylfuran-2(3H)-one, and a benzo[d]imidazole, 5,6-dichloro-1-cyclopentyl-2-(methylsulfinyl)-1H- benzimidazole. In addition, comparative studies are performed on the structure and reactivity of spirobrassinin derivatives, spirocyclic isatin-derivative analogues, and 3(2H)-furanones, and these three classes of molecules have already been predicted to possess anticancer properties in vitro. Interesting properties emerge in the preliminary theoretical investigations for these molecules, particularly in the FMO, the NLO and the molecular docking studies. The theoretical studies explore the reactivity, structure, and stability of the molecules under study, and biological evaluation examines their potential as lead compounds …

New Paradigm of Marketing-Financial Integration Modelling for Business Performance: An IMC Model
subject: Business performance; Competitive advantage; Finance market integration; Integrated marketing communication (IMC)
description: When it comes to the provision of financial services, the integrated marketing communication (IMC) process is crucial in the creation and maintenance of client-provider bonds. This research presents a literature assessment on the theoretical basis for using marketing communication tools in the provision of financial services. This research is an attempt to bolster the little theoretical literature on the effectiveness of marketing communication techniques in the provision of financial services. Financial service providers use marketing communication as a channel for two-way exchanges with their clientele, with the ultimate goal of maximising the benefits their customers bring to the company. When it comes to providing financial services, an organisations success hinges on its ability to effectively manage its relationships with both current and potential consumers. As a result, it is important for practical reasons to be guided by well-defined marketing communications goals to identify the extent of usage and within the constraints of available resources. In this regard, businesses are free to establish specific communications objectives in accordance with their unique situations to direct the implementation of their IMC plan. This study aims to find out an impact of financial integration with IMC on business performance. This study is descriptive in nature. Primary data is collected with the help of questionnaire. The study finds that the financial integration in the IMC model has a statistically significant impact on business success.

Cricket Shot Classification with Deep Learning: Insights for Coaching and Spectator Experience Enhancement
subject: Batsman; Coaching Strategies; Cricket; Deep Learning; Model Architecture; Shot Classification; VGG-16
description: The cricket field has undergone significant transformations owing to recent technological advancements, particularly in countries like India. Technology has been used to determine projected scores, chances of winning, run rates, and many more parameters. This study centers on employing Deep Learning in cricket, focusing on the classification of different types of shots played by batsmen to aid in creating coaching strategies and enhancing the spectator experience. The proposed model uses a dataset of cricketing shots generated by collecting images from the internet, comprising 5781 images of 7 distinct shot types played by batters. The VGG-16, VGG-19, and RestNet-50 model architectures were trained for the classification task, with the best result obtained from VGG-16. Pre-processing tasks, such as scaling, augmentation, etc., were performed on the images before classification. Subsequently, 85% of the total images were used to train the model and for testing, rest 15% of images, resulting in an accuracy of 96.50% from VGG-16, 92% from VGG-19, and 78% from RestNet-50. 2024 IEEE.

Structural and antibacterial assessment of two distinct dihydroxy biphenyls encapsulated with ?-cyclodextrin supramolecular complex
subject: Antibacterial activity; Gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria; Inclusion complex; Optical studies; Solid inclusion complex; ?-cyclodextrin
description: ?-Cyclodextrin plays a vital role in biological application because it can enhance the stability and solubility of the guest molecules in the supramolecular inclusion complexes. Moreover, the ?-Cyclodextrin inclusion complex has control-releasing behavior and lower toxicity than bare guest molecules. To improve the solubility and stability properties of two structurally different fluorescent guest molecules, namely 2,2?-dihydroxy biphenyl and 3,3?-dihydroxy biphenyls, they involve the ?-Cyclodextrin inclusion complex process. Optical measurements clearly described the efficient binding through the changes in the absorbance and emission intensities of guest molecules in the presence of ?-Cyclodextrin. The Job's plot from absorbance measurements reveals the 1:1 stochiometric ratio of binding of guests and the ?-Cyclodextrin host. The FT-IR spectra of the solid complex show the characteristic stretching and bending vibrations from both the guests and the host molecule. The 1HNMR spectra of the inclusion complex promote downfield shifting of guest molecule protons upon binding with the ?-Cyclodextrin host. The solid complex prepared using the solution method exhibits superior antibacterial activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria compared to the kneading and physical mixing methods. 2024
