By analyzing, through the lens of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), the experiences of characters portrayed in select Fantasy Fiction [The Spice Gate by Prashanth Srivatsa (2024); and The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida by Shehan Karunatilaka (2022)] in navigating borders-whether literal or metaphorical-the chapter studies how these crossings challenge fixed notions of identity and belonging. The protagonists of the chosen Fantasy works stem from both highly marginalized communities: the lower castes in India, and the more universally discriminated LGBTQIA+ people. Drawing on interdisciplinary perspectives pertaining to gender, sexuality, caste, oppression, and resistance, the chapter examines the act of border-crossing to illuminate the interplay between Self and Other, belonging and alienation, while confronting structures of power and oppression. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

Scientific and technological advancements, increased educational and healthcare facilities, and active involvement of women in the labor market have contributed to this significant change. However, the globe faces an imbalance between the percentages of youth, working, and oldage populations. The decline in the fertility rate and an increase in longevity have contributed to the disproportionate growth of the old- age population. Although the increased life expectancy can be credited as a substantial achievement of society, there are complex discussions on the contributions of older people to economic growth. From this perspective, this chapter critically examines the role of the old- age population in enhancing economic growth and sustainable development of society. It also proposes specific policy suggestions for achieving the UN Decade of Healthy Aging objectives (2021- 2030) that align with the SDGs. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

This study analyzes legal gaps in the protection of cultural knowledge in immersive digital platforms, highlighting risks posed by generative AI and decentralized governance. We evaluate emerging solutions such as blockchain- based ownership verification and NFT licensing-against ethical concerns of profit- sharing and moral rights. Drawing on comparative legal research, we propose an international framework integrating digital rights management and sui generis protections for cultural assets. Our recommendations stress collaboration among governments, international organizations, and technology developers, alongside the inclusion of digital heritage law in academic curricula, to empower indigenous communities to safeguard their cultural rights. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

The study has taken a heritage building in Chettinad, Tamil Nadu, known for its palatial mansions with unique architectural properties and sustainable measures for preservation of various resources. On the basis of an experiment to understand user engagement, the chapter focuses on proposing an Immersive Cultural Learning Framework (ICLF), which can be implemented for immersive cultural learning. The study uses a customdesigned VR- based immersive learning environment, to demonstrates how the ICLF can be utilized to deepen cultural understanding and enhance learner engagement. This framework is suitable for representing intangible heritage, particularly through audio cues. The authors hope that this multi- use case study is relevant to various stakeholders, such as educators, cultural practitioners, and immersive media designers, by providing a structured model for facilitating meaningful and inclusive cultural learning in the digital age. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

As global food systems evolve, the increasing commercialization of seeds, genetic resources, and agricultural knowledge has raised concerns over farmers' autonomy, economic sustainability, and cultural heritage. This chapter explores the intersection of farmers' rights, IP law, and human rights, analyzing how legal frameworks impact their access to seeds, traditional knowledge, and economic sustainability. It highlights the tension between seed sovereignty and corporate patenting, where restrictive IP protections often limit farmers' ability to save, exchange, and breed seeds-practices that have been fundamental to sustainable agriculture for generations. Finally, it advocates for harmonized approach that upholds farmers' rights while fostering sustainable agricultural practices. By bridging legal protections and cultural heritage, the chapter underscores the importance of inclusive policies that ensure both economic viability and environmental resilience. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

Cultural immersion refers to the process of deeply engaging with a foreign culture, whether through travel, education, work, or community- based initiatives. This study explores how cultural immersion enhances social sustainability by encouraging mutual respect, empathy, and intercultural dialogue. Social sustainability, as a core pillar of sustainable development, emphasizes the creation of inclusive, resilient, and cohesive societies. This research argues that cultural immersion, when combined with meaningful community engagement, facilitates long- term social cohesion by breaking down stereotypes, fostering intercultural cooperation, and promoting equity in social interactions. The primary objective of this study is to examine how cultural immersion contributes to social sustainability and to identify the mechanisms through which community engagement enhances cross- cultural understanding. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

It draws from experiential and transformative learning theories and also from frameworks such as ESD and SEFT. It examines the relationship between cognition, empathy, and intercultural competence, and how focused immersive methods can reshape them. Relevant global case studies have been included to highlight diverse forms of engagement like micro- immersion, reverse immersion, and sonic- sensory approaches. By engaging with interdisciplinary insights, it has been argued that immersive learning indeed promotes glocal thinking and environmental stewardship.

Neuromarketing involves understanding the schema of associations in the consumer's mind, through which a brand can subconsciously stimulate brand recall and drive purchase behavior (Briesemeister & Selmer, 2022). Use of neuromarketing tools can help build associations based on existing knowledge/ semantic memory or through past experiences/episodic memory (Tulving, 1972). Furthermore, sensory marketing can also create subconscious cues to episodic memory (Krishna, 2012) as sensory cues such as touch, taste, and smell are already encoded in a consumer's long- term memory. In the customer journey driven by traditional marketing messages, decision making is driven by reasoning of known facts, but sensory marketing messages can drive implicit decision making based on impulses (Friese et al., 2006). 2026, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

AI streamlines operations, automates processes, and enhances decision- making to enable business to serve customers better and remain competitive. AI solutions vary from customer services, supply chain management, finance, and human resource. AI chatbots provide 24/7 customer support, and predictive analytics enable optimized sales forecasting and inventory management. AI allows savings and creation of innovations by means of customized services. Challenges that do arise include the necessity of having quality data. AI has to be trained on huge volumes of data for it to be able to make sound predictions, and poor data quality will bring about the destruction of decision- making. Last but not least, investing in AI technology and experienced personnel can be exorbitant. 2026, IGI Global Scientific Publishing. All rights reserved.

These technologies can address behavioral biases such as loss aversion, yet major challenges remain. ESG data is fragmented, with rating providers often showing correlations below 0.6, weakening automated screening. Greenwashing risks rise as automation favors convenience over impact checks, while regulation lags behind and leaves fiduciary duties unclear. The discussion links these issues to finance theory, applying CAPM to test whether ESG factors improve risk- adjusted returns and using behavioral insights to assess how embedded systems may correct cognitive limits. Case studies show that while embedded finance reduces transaction friction, turning convenience into measurable sustainability outcomes is still uncertain. The chapter contributes by connecting finance theory with emerging technologies to evaluate real versus promised effects on sustainable investment. 2026, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

EF, which integrates services like payments, lending, and insurance into non- financial platforms, is analyzed for its impact on revenue, satisfaction, and inclusion. Using case studies of Flipkart, Amazon, Ola, and Swiggy, and a survey of 250 respondents, the research shows how EF boosts convenience, conversion, and access for underserved users. However, data reveals EF alone doesn't ensure satisfaction without seamless UX and personalization. The study highlights the role of APIs and AI in delivering EF benefits while noting regulatory and privacy concerns. Findings show EF's potential to reshape business and consumer behavior in India. 2026, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
