Suffice it; such efficiency has been missing in many previous rescue attempts. Is blockchain capable of making this happen? The Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) process is a sophisticated operation in which post-mortem (PM) identifying data, including fingerprints, DNA, and dental records, are acquired and matched with antemortem (AM) data from the missing people list. Although there are solutions to human identification, they must provide the tools required to achieve human identification promptly. Blockchain technology is one of the technologies that has gained much attention recently and is undergoing heavy media operations. It creates trustworthy, secure, and comprehensive ecosystems by disseminating siloed AM and PM data across systems, preventing breaches, redundancies, inconsistencies, and errors. Using real-world scenarios, the authors present several good use cases in this chapter to gain a holistic understanding of the challenges and how blockchain technology addresses such challenges and facilitates multi-jurisdictional data information sharing in conjunction with the upcoming distribution of patients electronic medical and dental records. 2025 Elsevier Inc.

The effects of viscous dissipation and Joule heating are included in the energy equation. The modeled equations are coupled and nonlinear; they are solved using the regular perturbation method (RPM) and the differential transform method (DTM). The analysis examines the impact of the Hartmann number, thermal Grashof number, nanoparticle volume fraction (NVF), and Brinkman number on the Nusselt number, velocity, and temperature distributions. Furthermore, an optimization of the Nusselt number is performed for three different levels of the Hartmann number (5?M?6), the Brinkman number (0.1?Br?0.3), and the NVF (1%???3%) using the Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The Hartmann number and NVF were found to suppress flow, while the thermal Grashof number and the Brinkman number increase the flow field. Sensitivity computations reveal that the Nusselt number on the left wall is more sensitive to the Hartmann number and the NVF, while the Nusselt number of the right wall is more sensitive to the Brinkman number and NVF. 2025 Elsevier Inc.

Since the synthesis process is heavily reliant on the particle size and molecular structure, it has a significant impact on the final properties of the nanoparticles. The top-down and bottom-up approaches are the two primary approaches. In contrast to the top-down method, which breaks down larger carbon sources like graphite or bulk carbon materials into nanoscale structures, the bottom-up method uses a variety of chemical reactions, including dehydration, carbonization, polymerization, and other irreversible chemical reactions, to create nanoparticles. In this chapter, the various top-down and bottom-up synthesis routes are covered, along with their effects on the physico-chemical characteristics of carbon nanomaterials. 2025 Elsevier Inc.

Most of the researchers concentrated primarily on demand modeling, vehicle routing challenges, and warehouse cost optimization, hence the existing models underperform. This study introduces a novel prediction model that optimizes costs by considering critical factors such as labor charges, material costs, transportation expenses, task types, and branch location. The current model is worked on a primary dataset of 2468 rows and 28 columns which was obtained from an established relocation company in India with all the confidentiality followed. To improve model performance, the required features were adjusted by rigorous feature engineering and data pretreatment techniques such as box-cox scaling, Winsorization, robust scaling, and one-hot encoding. Three ensemble learning techniques were tested: AdaBoost, XGBoost, and gradient boosting. The gradient boosting model correctly captured the complicated nonlinear connections between cost components and income, enabling for cost optimization decisions across a wide range of operational conditions. The proposed model has shown excellent results with the values achieving an MSE of 15% which demonstrates the effectiveness in cost optimization. However, the presence of residuals and potential outliers suggests that more model refinement and process improvements are required. The studys findings offer a data-driven framework for logistics and relocation companies to reduce costs, boost profitability, and gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

For an action whose consequences are irreversible, a reactive approach to the problem cannot be the answer. A proactive approach is needed to solve and detect suicidal intent. Social media has become the television and diary of millennials and Gen z alike; hence, it is imperative to create techniques and approaches to study their actions in this particular space. This research involved creating document similarity algorithms from Corpora mined from the Twitter Developer API. Making the data unique to this platform, a methodology design involving validating data at various spectrum and selecting an appropriate threshold to classify the similarity levels were created as well as a lexicon unique to the Twitter Dataset. With an accuracy score of 84%, the Jaccard document similarity algorithm was able to spot suicidal intent from users tweets, and with an accuracy of 93%, it was also able to spot non-suicidal intent. The Jaccard model seemed to be the most durable and computationally efficient for the problem and was chosen as the algorithm for detecting suicidal tendencies in users tweets.

While there has been progress in reducing stunting, wasting, and underweight rates among children, the prevalence of malnutrition remains high, especially with a recent increase in childhood anaemia. It is essential to implement effective national health policies and programmes to address this issue. Initiatives such as the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS), the Mid-Day Meal Scheme (MDMS), and the National Health Policy 2017 play a pivotal role in enhancing nutritional and health outcomes for children. However, challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, socio-economic disparities, and a lack of parental education and awareness hinder the effectiveness of these programmes. Misconceptions about nutrition and child-feeding practices among mothers are also significant contributors to malnutrition. This chapter aims to explore the potential of national health policies in combating child malnutrition in India and addressing the role they play in improving childrens nutritional status.

In the collectivistic culture of India, the lack of sexual relations after marriage is judged from a lens of "normalcy." Asexuality is often an invisible spectrum among the queer population and usually does not get the desired attention. Individuals who identify as asexuals may not always be opposed to romantic relationships. However, the heteronomative pressures of adhering to approved social roles for romantic partners may affect them. The study aims to understand the different sources of coercion and constraints in romantic relationships experienced by individuals who identify as asexuals through in-depth interviews. The interviews tap into the mental health of asexual women in a heteronormative society. The variables in focus are coping styles, beliefs, self-image, social attitude, and relationship dynamics. The study follows a thematic approach where the emerging themes from the in-depth interviews will be analyzed in detail to form a theoretical framework to explain the heteronormative pressures on asexual women. The findings will be examined from a feminist perspective, considering the equality of all genders and sexual expressions. The findings are also analyzed using Kristeva's concept of abjection, to explore asexuality as an "abject" in a collectivistic society. Asexuality is thus seen as deviant and worthy of separation from "normal sexual expression" in a society that has conflicting opinions about sex and sexuality.

These programs aim to provide individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to build and maintain positive romantic and sexual relationships, and to reduce negative societal outcomes such as teenage pregnancy and single-parent households. This systematic review will provide a comprehensive analysis of the current literature on relationship education programs for pre-marital romantic and sexual relationships in terms of their effectiveness, various formats in which they are delivered, and outcome variables being studied. The findings show that the outcomes could be divided into seven categories: self improvement, knowledge acquisition, attitudinal changes, behavioral changes, psychological impacts, skill development, and changes in relational dynamics. It has been demonstrated that REPs are effective in knowledge and skill transfer for romantic relationships. Effectiveness testing was done using quasi-experimental designs, experimental studies with a control group, or randomized control trials. Most of the REP research was conducted in the USA; very few studies were obtained from other parts of the world. The effectiveness of REP, program characteristics, testing, gender differences etc. are also discussed. Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2025. All rights reserved.

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) speaks about the use of Internet of Things (IoT) concepts and technology in industrial environments. The financial industry has long traded in the things that areintangible, from once-tangible but now-less-tangible items like stock certificates and even money itself. The Internet of Things (IoT) and blockchain technologythat offer and storedata aboutthings mighthave direct influence on how financial services institutions operate their businesses. The Financial Industry is adopting IoT for fast and effective transactions. The invention of disruptive technology like blockchain, which is a decentralized, unchangeable ledger makes tracking assets and record transactions easier. Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is based on the peer-to-peer idea that eliminates intermediaries from the system. It is possible to establish smart contracts, which will do away with the need for any middlemen. Due to the IoTs broad application and dispersed nature, security and privacy are the primary concerns in the financial sector. Blockchain is essential for IoT applications where data security and privacy are top priorities. Blockchain can secure data and keep the transactions private. IoT enhances business opportunities and offers firms a competitive edge in both established and developing industries. It has an impact on every aspect of technology, including the methods used to gather data and the locations, timings, and purposes for doing so. Since this data must be safeguarded, we need a standard blockchain-oriented architecture for IoT applications. The data generated by the financial industry is crucial because it establishes future market trends and preserves data on consumer and investor investments. Financial data is vulnerable to assaults and needs to be protected. This paper explores the need for regulations and policy in this area and attempts to understand how blockchain technology can be used to overcome barriers to IoT adoption in the financial sector.

Their heightened utilization is attributed to their unique properties, such as high specific surface area, enzyme loading capacity, biocompatibility, mass transfer resistance, ease in crossing biological barriers, and ease of functionalization and immobilization. Possessing all these characteristics improves their applicability in biomedical applications including diagnosis, imaging, nanobiomedicine, and drug delivery. The functionalization of CNTs is highly crucial as it improves their biocompatibility and overcomes their limitation of insolubility in water and organic solvents. Functionalization also transforms them into more complex and effective drug delivery and biosensing tools with enormous and specific biomedical properties. This chapter provides a comprehensive discussion of the various structural and chemical properties, types, and synthesis strategies of CNTs. It also gives an insight into the kinds of functionalization for ameliorating their properties and comprehensively discusses their applications in nanodiagnostic devices and nanobiomedicine, ensuring the audience feels informed and knowledgeable.
