Title A name given to the resource EXPLORING THE NEXUS: DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS OF URBAN LOCAL PUBLIC SPACES AND CHILDRENS PLAY BEHAVIOR IN BANGALORE, INDIA Subject The topic of the resource affordance; behavior mapping; Childrens outdoor play; park and playground; supervision Description An account of the resource Research in the field of childrens play highlights its diverse benefits on developmental requisites. Specifically, parks and playgrounds emerge as key public spaces in an urban environment, which facilitates a range of play experiences conducive to developmental processes. The main aim of the study is to examine the design characteristics of formal public spaces that influence play behavior of children and the supervision modalities in the Indian context. To achieve this objective the study investigated a park and playground in a rapidly developing neighborhood in Bangalore. Systematic observations were conducted to observe childrens play opportunities with respect to the physical environments including adult supervision modalities. The outcomes reveal that childrens play in the urban context is a supervised activity. The study demonstrates a strong correlation between the age demographics and utilization patterns of play spaces. Though affordances for functional play and rule based games were exhibited in these public spaces, the research found minimal occurrences of Constructive, Imaginative and Exploratory play. Implications for planning and design includes adopting an age-responsive approach to accommodate diverse developmental needs and preferences of children while integrating natural and manipulable materials to enhance play value of play spaces. 2024, Jomard Publishing.

Title A name given to the resource Exploring the Opportunities of AI Integral with DL and ML Models in Financial and Accounting Systems Subject The topic of the resource accounting; case studies; empirical analysis; ethical considerations; Explainable AI; financial decisionmaking; interpretability; regulatory compliance; transparency; XAI techniques Description An account of the resource With the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), today's fast financial landscape increasingly promises the most efficient and accurate processes for decision-making in accounting practices. On the other hand, the opacity of models represents a truly difficult challenge, given that transparency and accountability are key for using AI in making financial decisions. This is a research paper that focuses on the explanation of an XAI model application as a way of improving transparency in financial decision-making within the accounting field. The paper begins by outlining how transparency is important and opens the room for trust and understanding in the process of financial decision-making. Traditional black-box AI models, although able to provide remarkable predictions, usually exhibit low interpretability; this entails that stakeholders may have a small degree of understanding regarding the rationale behind the decisions. This provides a cloudy appearance not to hamper trust and supports compliance with regulatory standards like GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) and IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards). The proposed work applies to the accounting domain and brings about some of the different XAI techniques that are designed under this domain. The following techniques aim at demystifying the AI algorithms for effective AI stakeholders' understanding of the model predictions and underlying decision-making processes. 2024 IEEE.

This study reports the synthesis of carbon dots (CDs) from agricultural remains, Jackfruit seeds (Artocarpus heterophyllus), through a facile synthesis technique of a one-step microwave-assisted solvothermal method. The synthesized CDs offer good optical properties, by absorbing UV radiation and giving a broad excitation wavelength-dependent emission (300 to 700nm). This evidences the synthesized material to act as a down-converter in various applications, like solar cells and LEDs. The tunability of the bandgap of these nanocarbons is also explored by employing solvatochromism in solvents of varying polarity, including DI water, DMF, and NMP, enhancing their optical properties. Further, they can also be used for UV protection applications like window panes, sunglasses, and sunscreen creams, owing to the 97.44% UV absorption for the CDs dispersed in NMP. Similarly, the down-conversion ability of this material is utilized to convert UV-LEDs to W-LEDs with CRI point, Ra = 77, and CCT = 6785 K, which resembles cool bright daylight. Thus, the synthesized CDs from jackfruit seeds exhibit exemplary optical properties, opening wide avenues into UV protection, lighting technologies, and other such potential applications. 2025 Wiley-VCH GmbH.

There is a dearth of research examining this and its neuropsychological consequences. Polysubstance use (PSU) usually indicates higher chances of dependence and negative outcomes. This study aims to describe the patterns of PSU and associated executive function profiles in a sample of young adults in India. Methods: Fifty-four participants aged 1825 years filled out a self-report questionnaire on PSU, for lifetime and current use of seven classes of substances. Thirty-four participants also performed four executive functions (Flexibility, Inhibition, Working Memory, and Planning). A descriptive analysis was used to identify patterns of PSU and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to compare the executive functions between three groups of substance users with nonusers. Results: Three patterns of PSU were identified in our sample: simultaneous (16.3%), concurrent (37.2%), and mixed (46.5%) patterns of use. Simultaneous and concurrent users reported the most commonly used substance combinations (alcohol/nicotine/cannabis). Performance on executive function tasks was compared among the different groups of substance users and nonusers. Executive function assessments revealed deficits in simultaneous users for inhibition (most errors) and planning (most number of moves) compared to other groups. Concurrent users had the lowest accuracy for the two-back visual working memory. Conclusions: The findings of this small sample study suggest executive function deficits are more common in simultaneous users and underscore the need for more research to examine the synergistic effects of substances on cognition and executive functions. 2025 The Author(s).

One of the fascinating organisms is cephalopods as they are known for their inking capabilities. The ink, composed mainly of melanin and mucous, has garnered attention for its diverse bioactive properties. In addition to melanin, components like Quinones, 8-hydroxy-4-quinolone, and various amino acids exhibit anti-oxidant and other therapeutic activities. Researches have shown that cephalopod ink can possess anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-microbial, anti-hypertensive, anti-ulcerogenic, and antiretroviral properties. However, these ink glands are discarded in the seafood industry. Amphioctopus aegina is one of the octopus species found in Indian waters and is less explored. This study was conducted to explore the chemical composition and pharmaceutical properties of the discarded ink glands of A. aegina. The study revealed the gland of this organism to be rich in bioactive compounds like alkaloids, phenols and flavonoids. Antioxidant studies revealed both aqueous and ethanol extracts showed good antioxidant capability, with remarkable radical scavenging activity, with IC50 values-65.76 g/mL and 51.7 g/mL respectively. The extracts also showed moderate inhibition of protein denaturation and were non-toxic to RAW264.7 cell lines. These findings highlight A. aegina ink as a promising source of therapeutic biomolecules and offer a sustainable approach for valorizing cephalopod waste. 2026, ScienceIn Publishing.

Title A name given to the resource Exploring the Photocatalytic and Cytotoxic Potential of Quassia indica-Derived Bimetallic Silver-Zinc Oxide Nanocomposites Subject The topic of the resource Cytotoxicity; Degradation; Green synthesis; Nanocomposites; Quassia indica; Textile dyes Description An account of the resource In response to the escalating need for nanomaterials characterized by enhanced properties and reduced environmental impact, this study addresses critical challenges associated with conventional nanomaterial synthesis methods, particularly focusing on concerns related to environmental toxicity and economic feasibility. In this study, we report the eco-friendly synthesis of silver-zinc oxide nanocomposites using leaf extracts of Quassia indica (QI- Ag: ZnO NC). The synthesized QI- Ag: ZnO nanocomposites were characterized using various techniques including UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX), High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM), and Selected Area Electron Diffraction (SAED). The photocatalytic activity of the biosynthesized QI- Ag: ZnO NC was evaluated against several textile dyes. Reactive Blue-220 exhibited the highest percentage of degradation (99.97%), closely followed by Reactive Blue-222 (99.37%), while Reactive Red-120 displayed significant degradation (94.62%). Remarkably, these nanocomposites exhibited significant photocatalytic degradation of the tested dyes, suggesting their potential application in wastewater treatment for dye removal. Furthermore, phytotoxicity studies were conducted to assess the impact of the nanocomposites on plant growth and brine shrimp mortality. To evaluate their cytotoxicity, the nanocomposites synthesized were assessed using the MTT assay on MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cancer cells. These findings suggest that QI- Ag: ZnO NCs have promising applications in environmental remediation and cancer therapy, opening avenues for further advancements in the arena of nanomaterial synthesis and utilization.

Title A name given to the resource Exploring the potential of Andrographis paniculata for developing novel HDAC inhibitors: an in silico approach Subject The topic of the resource Cancer; computational biology; MD simulation; molecular docking; PCA Description An account of the resource Cancer is one of the dreaded diseases of the twentieth century, emerging the major global causes of human morbidity. Cancer research in the last 15 years has provided unprecedented information on the role of epigenetics in cancer initiation and progression. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are recognized as important epigenetic markers in cancer, whose overexpression leads to increased metastasis and angiogenesis. In the current study, thirty-four (34) compounds from Andrographis paniculata were screened for the identification of potential candidate drugs, targeting three Class I HDACs (Histone deacetylases), namely HDAC1 (PDB id 5ICN), HDAC3 (PDB id 4A69) and HDAC8 (PDB id 5FCW) through computer-assisted drug discovery study. Results showed that some of the phytochemicals chosen for this study exhibited significant drug-like properties. In silico molecular docking study further revealed that out of 34 compounds, the flavonoid Andrographidine E had the highest binding affinities towards HDAC1 (?9.261 Kcal mol?1) and 3 (?9.554 Kcal mol?1) when compared with the control drug Givinostat (-8.789 and ?9.448 Kcal mol?1). The diterpenoid Andrographiside displayed the highest binding affinity (-9.588 Kcal mol?1) to HDAC8 compared to Givinostat (-8.947 Kcal mol?1). Statistical analysis using Principal Component Analysis tool revealed that all 34 phytocompounds could be clustered in four statistical groups. Most of them showed high or comparable inhibitory potentials towards HDAC target protein. Finally, the stability of top-ranked complexes (Andrographidine E-HDAC1 and HDAC3; Andrographiside-HDAC8) at the physiological condition was validated by Molecular Dynamic Simulation and MM-PBSA study.

Title A name given to the resource Exploring the Potential of Bacillus velezensis, an Endophytic Bacteria Isolated from Alternanthera philoxeroides for Plant Growth Promotion and Bioremediation Properties Subject The topic of the resource Bellandur Lake; Chromium Tolerance; Congo Red; Endophyte; IAA production Description An account of the resource The current work was done to analyse the bioremediation and plant growth promotion (PGP) traits of endophytic bacteria isolated from Alternanthera philoxeroides from Bellandur Lake, Bangalore, India. Twenty-nine endophytic bacteria were isolated and tested for their PGP traits like indole acetic acid (IAA), ammonia, nitrogen fixation, 1-aminocyclopropane-1- carboxylate (ACC) deaminase production, phosphate solubilization etc. Endophytic bacterium, BEBAphL1 obtained from leaves of A. philoxeroides exhibited significant plant growth promotion properties and the isolate was identified as Bacillus velezensis OQ874364 using 16S rRNA sequencing. The bacterium showed potential IAA, ammonia production, nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, and ACC deaminase production. The results indicate that this endophyte is promising as a growth-promoting inoculant, reducing the reliance on chemical inputs in conventional agricultural practices while enhancing nutrient uptake and stress resilience in plants. B. velezensis exhibited tolerance to high levels of chromium (500 mg/L) and NaCl (15%) and was also able to decolourize Congo red by 70% at 0.005% concentration of dye. Characterization of dye samples pre- and post-bacterial treatment was done using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The findings of the study indicate that B. velezensis shows promise as a plant growth stimulator capable of withstanding heavy metal exposure and breaking down dyes. The Author(s) 2023.

Title A name given to the resource EXPLORING THE POTENTIAL OF VELVET BEAN, MUCUNA PRURIENS (L) SEED ON GROWTH AND GONADAL DEVELOPMENT OF MONO-SEX COMMON MOLY POECILIA SPHENOPS (VALENCIENNES, 1846) Subject The topic of the resource Diet supplementation; Gonadal development; Growth performance; Poecilia sphenops; Velvet bean Description An account of the resource Mucuna pruriens, a rich source of L-dihydroxyphenylalanine, commonly known as L-DOPA and a precursor to dopamine, holds potential as a natural nutritional supplement. This study aimed to delve into the impact of incorporating M. pruriens seed powder (MpSP) into the feed on growth parameters and gonadal development of mono-sex common molly (Poecilia sphenops). The fish population was divided into three experimental groups, such as G1, G2, and G3, and a control group (C), each comprising 20 individuals. Over 45 days, the experimental groups were nourished with a commercial diet bolstered by MpSP in different concentrations (5, 7 and 10g/kg of feed, respectively). In contrast, the control group was provided with a regular diet devoid of the supplement. At the end of the experiment, MpSP demonstrated significant modulation (p<0.05) of growth performance metrics, including specific growth rate (SGR), length gain rate (LGR), body mass gain (BMG), and feed conversion ratio (FCR). Impressively, even the lower concentration of MpSP (5g/kg diet) yielded substantial increments in sperm count (p<0.05) and gonadosomatic index (GSI). These findings were corroborated by histological changes that reflected enhanced testicular development, consistently outperforming the control group. These outcomes collectively suggest the potential of velvet bean seed powder as a feasible, natural, and costeffective dietary supplement for enhancing growth and testicular development in mono-sex P. sphenops.

As trainees their issues related to practice of counseling get addressed in training sessions, in supervision and through other means like personal therapy. Nothing is conclusively known about their status as beginning counselors. The aim and objectives of the study were exploring the professional problems faced by beginning counselors and the ways in which they are coping with them and their suggestions to cope as individuals and the ways in which the training institutes could help them to cope. The study was done by conducting two focus group discussions (FGD) of six beginning counselors and personal in-depth interviews of three beginning counselors who were working in different settings like Clinical-rehab, School and Employee Assistance Programme (EAP). While three school counsellors, two counsellors working in clinical-rehab settings and one EAP counsellor formed the participants of FGD, one counsellor from each of these settings who was not part of FGD was interviewed personally. While for the FGDs, the researcher used the self-constructed guide, for the interviews, the findings of FGD data which formed the Interview Schedule. Both the FGDs and the interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed and analyzed with conventional content analysis. Data from both the FGDs and interviews were included to form the Results. The findings show the various professional problems faced by the beginning counselors and the coping strategies used by them and their suggestions for coping with their professional problems at an individual level and at an institutional level. Implications for professional development, training of counsellors and scope for future research are presented. Key Words: Beginning Counsellors, Professional Problems, Coping, Professional Development.

Title A name given to the resource Exploring the Psychosocial Challenges and Strengths of Indigent Adolescents: A Reflexive Thematic Analysis of Counsellors Insights Subject The topic of the resource Indigent adolescents; Individual strengths; Mental health; Psycho-social challenges; Thematic analysis; Well-being Description An account of the resource Background: The Bronfenbrenner bioecological model of human development provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the complex interactions between individual factors and environmental influences on adolescent mental health, such as limited access to resources, exposure to violence and trauma, and parental neglect. While discussing the challenges faced by at-risk adolescents, it is important to focus on the strengths of resilient adolescents living in similar conditions. These individual differences are the precursors in determining their futures. Methods: The present study aimed to explore the psychosocial challenges and strengths of indigent adolescents. Eight counselors who had been working with indigent adolescents for at least three years in school or NGO settings were identified through a snowball sampling design and interviewed using a semi-structured interview schedule. Results: Reflexive thematic analysis of the interviews was done using Braun and Clarks protocol to identify themes. Challenges faced by indigent adolescents were a lack of parental supervision, vulnerability to cybercrime, emotional dysregulation, engagement in drug use, ambiguity in life aspirations and career goals, and societal mistrust and bias. The strengths identified were empathy, reconciliation dynamics and forgiveness, a yearning for change, a love of learning, help-seeking and help-providing behavior, attachment to religion and festivals, and a sense of gratitude and hopefulness, which indigent resilient adolescents display to navigate through their challenging lives. A detailed discussion of these challenges and strengths, along with their various dynamics, has also been provided. Conclusion: Identifying both the difficulties and strengths of indigent adolescents would promote more strength-based approaches to preventive and promotive mental health programs. 2024 The Author(s).

Traditionally, research in positive psychology has focused on the benefits of character strengths, emphasizing their role in enhancing life satisfaction, fostering positive relationships, and promoting professional success. However, recent studies highlight the critical importance of balance in strength utilization. Specifically, underuse, overuse, and optimal use of strengths can lead to varying consequences across different life domains. This scoping review systematically examined the imbalance of character strengths and its impact on mental health, leadership, and social interactions. A systematic search was conducted across Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, following PRISMA-SCR guidelines. The findings revealed that underuse of strengths is associated with low engagement, passivity, and decreased motivation, while overuse can lead to rigidity, interpersonal conflicts, and burnout. The review further identified contextual moderators (e.g., personality traits, cultural factors, and situational demands) that influence how strengths are applied in everyday life. Based on the findings, this review proposes the Balanced Strength Utilization Model (BSUM), integrating theoretical perspectives and empirical evidence to offer a comprehensive framework for character strength regulation. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies and intervention-based approaches to help individuals optimize strength balance and apply their strengths effectively across different domains.

Title A name given to the resource Exploring the Relationship between Clean Energy Indices and Oil Prices: a Ten-Day Window approach Subject The topic of the resource Clean Energy Indices; WTI; Comovements; Portfolio Diversification Description An account of the resource This paper aims to assess the comovements between clean energy indices, namely the Clean Energy Fuels (CLNE), Nasdaq Clean Edge Green Energy (CELS), S&P Global Clean Energy (SPGTCLEN), TISDALE Clean Energy (TCEC.CN), Wilderhill (ECO), West Texas Intermediate (WTI) stock indices, over the period from 1 January 2018 to 23 November 2023. We used 10-day windows to analyse the duration and nature of the shocks. Granger causality tests revealed that 20 of the 30 possible pairs showed significant movements, with the WTI influencing all the clean energy indices, highlighting its global importance. CELS also showed a robust influence on all pairs, while SPGTCLEN had a significant but less far-reaching influence. The CLNE and ECO indices showed limited influences, suggesting the potential for diversification, the TCEC.CN proved to be independent and a determining factor for portfolio diversification. The Impulse Response Functions (IRF) confirmed significant movements between CELS, SPGTCLEN and WTI, reflecting the market's response to policies and adjustments in expectations. Fluctuations in oil prices substantially affect clean energy indices, highlighting the interconnectedness and volatility of these markets. In conclusion, these results indicate that despite the growth of clean energy, the sector is still influenced by fluctuations in the fossil fuel market. 2024, Creative Publishing House.
