Resource overconsumption remains never-ending, deteriorating the environment and society. Conventional food waste management practices, such as landfills, dumping, and incineration, are proven to be problematic in terms of inhabitants health risks and environmental contamination. Food waste management with a zero-waste approach is given the utmost priority in the present-day scenario and has become a significant part of our routine life. The avoidance and reduction of food waste are very important parts of waste management, as they have a huge impact on our lives and the environment. The conceivable solution is to valorize the food waste into a usable secondary raw material for its utilization in other industries. Composting is a systematic biological process, recognized as a cost-effective method for food waste management. It generates nutrient-rich manure for plant growth and development. This has offered opportunities for organic wastes, especially food waste, as nutrient sources for agriculture. Though traditional agricultural practices with inorganic fertilizers have helped in gaining high yields of crops, their aftereffects on soil have been dismissive. This has opened up a congenial platform for the use of organic manures like compost and vermicompost, due to their positive effects of enhancing soil quality over inorganic fertilizers. Microbial processes are gaining massive significance due to their realistic and eco-friendly nature, resulting in the recovery of biomolecules from food wastes and fermentation end products, ensuring zero waste. Composting strategies that can act on prominent food wastes such as vegetable market waste, fruit waste, slaughterhouse waste, chicken and fish waste, canteen/hotel waste, and house/residential waste will play a promising role in the recovery of sustainable resources. Finding new ways of reducing food waste disposal problems is a topic that must be of the greatest importance for every government, business, and individual. 2025 The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

The fragmented nature of the industry creates obstacles to integrating green practices into the supply chain to reduce the industrys negative environmental effects. This study aims to review the literature on barriers to adopting green supply chain management practices in the construction industry, pinpoint research gaps and suggest directions for further research in the domain. The articles for the literature review were retrieved from the Scopus database from 2014 to 2024. The search was refined using PRISMA guidelines. 18 relevant empirical studies were reviewed for this purpose. The findings reveal that the major impediments were high costs of implementing green practices across different phases, namely, the design procurement, construction, operation and demolition phases, inadequate knowledge and awareness of green procurement, design and construction, insufficient technical expertise, lack of government incentives for adopting green practices, lack of availability of green building materials and technologies, lack of top management commitment and inadequate policies and regulations on green construction. Extant literature indicates that past studies have examined the most significant barriers in developed and developing countries, mostly using quantitative surveys. It is suggested that future researchers conduct an in-depth analysis of the barriers in different contexts by gathering qualitative data from the construction industry stakeholders. This would support the creation of policies and strategies by practitioners and policymakers to address the issues of incorporating environmental concerns into the building supply chain. It will, therefore, encourage the sector to strive for environmental sustainability. The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.

Consumers increasingly value social responsibility, so brands align with charitable causes to enhance their image and foster loyalty. The research investigates whether these partnerships lead to positive consumer perceptions, increased trust, and stronger emotional connections with the brand. By analyzing both qualitative and quantitative data, the study explores the extent to which cause-related marketing (CRM) impacts actual purchasing behavior and long-term brand loyalty. The results suggest that while CRM can improve consumer attitudes, its effectiveness depends heavily on the perceived authenticity of the brands commitment to the cause. Brands that genuinely align with causes that resonate with their target audience are more likely to see a positive impact on both consumer sentiment and purchase behavior. The findings highlight the importance of consistent and sincere engagement for brands aiming to leverage social causes for business growth.

While balance traditionally meant giving equal space to opposing views, newer models of impartiality aim to represent a broader range of perspectives. Using a quantitative content analysis, this chapter analyses news published in the two leading English dailies, Rising Kashmir from Kashmir and Daily Excelsior from Jammu of the Indian Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir from 1 to 31 October 2022. As many as 62 newspaper editions comprising 987 pages of broadsheets are examined and conflict-related news articles are sampled for analysis. A manual analysis is used to analyse the conflict news articles and identify the sources quoted in them. Study findings indicate the dominance of elite political sources in the news reports. Drawing from seminal studies in journalistic sociology, such as Gans Deciding Whats News, this chapter discusses the implications of the high prevalence of elite voices, comprising political, social and economic. 2025 The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

These geo-dynamically vibrant mountains are home to a diverse range of flora, fauna, human populations, and cultures. Although the region is rich in natural resources, most of its population remains marginalised. The Himalayan environment and people have been closely intertwined since antiquity. However, the conditions in this delicate resource region are currently getting worse due to human activities. The attempts to modify the Himalayan environment for developmental purposes have been causing environmental imbalance significantly impacting the security of the Himalayan ecosystem and its inhabitants. Environmental justice demands addressing environmental issues in the Himalayan region from the viewpoint of impacted and indigenous peoples communities. Acknowledging the aforementioned, this chapter endeavours to explore, examine and comprehend the notion of environmental justice concerning the rights and interests of the indigenous population inhabiting the Himalayan region. 2025 The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Community policing has been especially effective in India in tackling complicated social issues including gender-based violence, communal conflicts, and the grievances of marginalised people. Programmes such as the Mohalla Committees in Maharashtra and the Janamaithri Suraksha Project in Kerala are prime examples of grassroots efforts that place an emphasis on cooperation and communication between the public and law enforcement agencies. Globally, community policing models from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan demonstrate how flexible it is in various sociocultural contexts. The Koban system in Japan and the Neighbourhood Policing model in the United Kingdom are renowned for promoting trust through proactive problem-solving, increased transparency, and the integration of law enforcement with local communities. With police officers acting as community allies in addition to executing the law, these approaches place an emphasis on reciprocal accountability. Nonetheless, issues such as a lack of resources, opposition to reform in police agencies, and possible politicisation still exist. Global success stories provide valuable insights into the significance of consistent training, incorporating under-represented perspectives, and utilising technology to improve community involvement. The potential of community policing to change antagonistic policecommunity dynamics into cooperative ones is examined in this research. The study highlights the importance of trust-building as a pillar of efficient law enforcement and inclusive governance by looking at Indian initiatives and learning from global experiences, opening the door to safer and more cohesive societies. 2025 The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

It involves gathering evidence, examining witnesses, and thoroughly scrutinizing the crime scenes. The investigating officials are tasked with various vital duties integral to the investigation procedures. Due to workload, police personnel may use unfair means and methods for ending investigations, securing convictions, and avoiding criticisms. The crime investigation technique requires specialized skills and training, sufficient time, appropriate forensic abilities, and facilities. This chapter examines the efficacy of police investigations and the subsequent attainment of convictions, focusing on a comparative insight into the current legal framework and the challenges under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) 2023. This doctrinal and non-doctrinal study applied qualitative and quantitative content analysis to evaluate the secondary data. Criminal cases experience inadequate investigation and adequate evidence. A fair investigation is essential for ensuring justice for the accused, victim, and society. If the police do not follow procedures, omitting and tampering with evidence will be detrimental by preventing the court from reviewing it. The effectiveness of police investigation significantly affects judicial verdicts. Defects in the system lead to frequent acquittals in criminal cases. 2025 The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

In India, trauma among the emblem of manpower is still a word of fancy or rather cowardly in the twenty-first century. So, to apply the seminal concept in Indian police, the phrase Occupational Stress is somehow better suited even though police experience the gruesomeness of death, suffering, and cruelty closer than many professions. The medics and police see the teething reality of biopolitics that can surely leave a permanent scar in the individual memory. Soft-skill training is a modern solution, and the awareness is spreading worldwide. Occupational stress is a collective state where several contributing factors cause a sense of anxiety and trauma in the subject. In police, it is caused by public rage toward the institution, their hues and cries, the departmental pressure following the chain of command, and an undeniable political influence. The mighty law-keepers might seem to possess the sceptre of power, but the fate of their mission, postings, and promotion politics is modulated quite abruptly. This study is an extension of broader research that follows a review of literature, including memoirs written by top cops of the Indian police force, and it surveys a corpus of newspaper articles demonstrating trauma-informed policing. The study explores the concept of Occupational Stress, its prevalence, contributing factors, and consequences through a qualitative method and a critical discourse analysis of the selective police narrative. 2025 The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

It highlights the transformation of policing from its early functions, which were often aligned with maintaining social control and serving the interests of those in power, to contemporary efforts aimed at reform and accountability. The discussion includes significant milestones, such as the establishment of police systems in India, which were influenced by the British Police Act of 1861, and the ongoing challenges faced by modern policing, including issues of police brutality, systemic racism, and extrajudicial killings. The discussion extends to the global implications of policing practices, addressing issues such as police brutality, systemic racism, and extrajudicial killings that transcend national boundaries. This chapter emphasises the need for comprehensive reforms that not only address policy changes but also foster a cultural shift within police organisations to prioritise human rights and community engagement. By analysing the historical legacies and current practices of policing, this chapter aims to provide a nuanced understanding of how law enforcement can evolve to better protect the rights and dignity of all individuals in society. 2025 The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

It employs the panel regression technique for analysis of top seventy-five listed companies of the NIFTY100 index at Indian National Stock Exchange (NSE) for the years from 201415 to 202021. The empirical results revealed that CG attributes like large board size, large independent directors, and female directors significantly influence the CSR performance of the companies. However, no significant evidence was found in case of the impact of board meeting frequency and CSR practices of the companies. This chapter enables a better understanding of self-induced CSR practices to policymakers, regulators, practitioners, and other stakeholders. The findings suggest that various stakeholders should concentrate on specific CG attributes to focus on CSR performance. It is one of the first studies that determines what influence the adoption of self-induced CSR practices especially against the backdrop of major CG mechanism and CSR reforms in India. It provides additional empirical evidence to the extant body of literature on the CG and CSR practices from the perspective of emerging economies.

Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) are specialised metabolites or phytochemicals that are produced by plants in response to biotic and abiotic stresses or as a by-product of metabolism. PSMs are needed by the cells of the plant to interact with its environment and are produced in very small concentrations. They have various therapeutic effects and are used as medication in various conditions. However, the difference between therapeutic and toxic levels of these compounds is so low that when administered in excess, they can cause adverse conditions. These toxic PSMs are also known as phytotoxins. Phytotoxins are highly versatile in their mode of toxicity, chemical composition, and structure. The major groups of phytotoxins that have been categorised are alkaloids, terpenoids, glycosides, non-protein amino acids, glucosinolates, cardenolides, tannins, phenolics, flavonoids, and phytoecdysteroids. These phytotoxins have several toxic effects like allergenic, pesticidal, hallucinogenic, and allelochemical and may even cause fatalities. The effects of these phytotoxins in humans range from the disturbance in the metabolic pathways taking place in various organs to adverse conditions like cytotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and carcinogenicity. This chapter discusses in detail the various categories of phytotoxic compounds from land plants and their major biological activities.

It underscores the global consensus on essential facets of equitable employment opportunities, encompassing job availability and social security for workers. Drawing upon data primarily sourced from the State Statistical Office in Kerala, this paper examines the myriad aspects and indicators of decent work and presents the latest empirical findings. Our analysis reveals that a glut in labour supply coupled with scant employment opportunities escalates unemployment rates, notably affecting women and youth. This challenge is further exacerbated by structural inefficiencies and socioeconomic disparities. To counter these issues, the study proposes several strategic interventions. Enhancing educational and vocational training for women not only equips them with necessary skills but also fosters an inclusive workforce. Additionally, bolstering the capabilities of labour inspectorates can ensure adherence to labour standards and promote decent work conditions. Effective management of the Decent Work phenomenon is crucial and requires comprehensive policy frameworks that integrate these elements. By implementing these strategies, there is potential to significantly transform the labour market dynamics, promoting sustainable economic growth and social equity. This paper aims to contribute to the discourse on employment policies, advocating for informed decisions that are pivotal in achieving the targets set forth in Goal 8 of the Sustainable Development Agenda.
