Abstract: By March 2024, enterprise intelligence initiatives increasingly depended on the reliability of master data to support analytics, operational reporting, customer engagement, and automated decision systems. Organizations consolidated data from numerous operational sources, including transactional systems, customer platforms, supplier feeds, and third party reference datasets. These sources frequently represented the same real world entities using inconsistent identifiers, formats, and semantic conventions. As data volumes and integration velocity increased, traditional rule based record matching and manual standardization processes struggled to maintain accuracy, coverage, and timeliness at enterprise scale. AI assisted record matching emerged as a practical response to these limitations by augmenting deterministic matching logic with probabilistic similarity scoring, contextual inference, and adaptive learning. Rather than replacing existing master data management controls, AI techniques were increasingly applied to improve candidate matching, resolve ambiguous records, and normalize attributes across heterogeneous inputs. These approaches enabled enterprises to detect duplicates, align entity representations, and maintain consistent master views while reducing manual stewardship effort. However, the introduction of AI into master data workflows also introduced governance challenges related to explainability, confidence thresholds, override accountability, and downstream trust in standardized outputs. This paper examines AI assisted record matching and standardization for enterprise master data as of March 2024, focusing on architectural patterns, matching workflows, confidence management, and governance controls. The discussion frames AI as an augmentation layer within controlled master data pipelines, emphasizing operational accuracy, traceability, and stewardship alignment. The paper positions AI assisted matching as a foundational capability for enterprise intelligence systems that require consistent, auditable, and scalable entity resolution across rapidly evolving data landscapes.

Abstract: India is the world's largest democracy, and the core of any democracy is that people elect their own representatives. However, in today's times, the integrity of the election process faces numerous challenges such as booth capturing, rigging, fake voting, and tampering with Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). As responsible engineers, it is our duty to take action to address these issues. Commonly used EVMs conduct voting electronically, eliminating the need for ballot papers, which are time-consuming and prone to intentional or unintentional errors. Currently, verifying voter authenticity is a major concern, and it must be ensured that no individual can vote more than once. This problem can be solved by implementing a biometric voting system that verifies voter identity through fingerprints, ensuring the principle of one person, one genuine vote. In this project, a prototype biometric voting machine based on fingerprint recognition has been developed. It is proposed to integrate a feature linking the Aadhaar database of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), Government of India, New Delhi. This integration would allow voters to register automatically on the portal, categorized by regions and constituencies based on their unique fingerprint identification. This would enable the device developed in this research to be applied nationwide during elections, significantly improving the Indian electoral system.

Abstract: Nawabganj Bird Sanctuary, a Ramsar-designated wetland in the Unnao district of Uttar Pradesh, India, serves as a critical wintering habitat and stopover site for a multitude of migratory bird species traversing the Central Asian Flyway (CAF). This comprehensive review paper synthesizes four decades of ornithological data, ecological studies, and management reports to analyze the patterns, drivers, and conservation status of avian migration at this vital sanctuary. The analysis confirms Nawabganj’s role as a key refuge for over 250 bird species, with a significant influx of Palaearctic migrants between November and March. Dominant families include Anatidae (ducks, geese), Ardeidae (herons, egrets), Rallidae (coots, moorhens), and a diverse array of waders (Charadriiformes). Migration timing and species composition are primarily driven by photoperiodic cues in breeding grounds and the availability of wetland habitat, forage resources, and thermal cover in the sanctuary. However, the review identifies a multifaceted crisis threatening this ecological function. Severe anthropogenic pressuresincluding water scarcity due to upstream diversion and erratic rainfall, invasive plant species (Eichhornia crassipes, Prosopis juliflora) encroachment, agricultural runoff leading to eutrophication, unsustainable tourism, and increasing human-wildlife conflict in the surrounding landscapeare degrading habitat quality. Emerging evidence suggests shifts in arrival/departure timings and a potential decline in populations of certain diving ducks and sensitive waders, possibly linked to climate change and local habitat degradation. This paper concludes that while Nawabganj remains a biodiversity haven, its long-term viability as a migratory bird sanctuary is precarious. The review advocates for an urgent, science-based, and integrated management approach. Key recommendations include securing ecological water flows, implementing systematic habitat restoration (invasive species removal, creation of deeper zones), strengthening community-based conservation, establishing long-term ecological monitoring programs, and promoting regulated, eco-sensitive tourism. The findings underscore that the sanctuary's future is contingent on translating its protected status into effective, on-ground ecological security.

Abstract: The rapid growth of technology and lifestyle modernization has significantly influenced the human mind, behavior, and emotional balance. This study investigates the impact of the modern lifestyle on the subconscious mind — the part of the human psyche that governs thoughts, emotions, and decisions beyond conscious awareness. A structured questionnaire was administered to 305 respondents, including students and professionals, to examine how daily habits such as screen time, sleep patterns, stress, and mindfulness practices affect subconscious stability. Findings show that excessive device use, irregular sleep, and frequent stress strongly affect subconscious calmness and self-awareness. Participants who maintained mindfulness routines reported greater emotional balance. The study concludes that while modernization improves efficiency, it disrupts subconscious harmony, emphasizing the need for balanced routines and conscious mental care.

Abstract: Agriculture continues to face significant challenges due to crop diseases that result in reduced yield, economic losses, and delayed intervention, particularly in developing regions where access to expert diagnosis is limited. Traditional disease identification methods rely on manual inspection, which is time-consuming, subjective, and not scalable. This paper presents a Smart Crop Disease Detection System using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for automated and accurate identification of plant diseases from leaf images. The proposed system leverages deep learning techniques trained on real-world agricultural image data obtained from the PlantDoc dataset, which contains healthy and diseased crop leaves captured under diverse field conditions. A lightweight and efficient CNN architecture, MobileNetV2, is adopted to enable real-time disease detection with reduced computational overhead, making the system suitable for mobile and low-power devices. The model performs image classification to identify disease categories and assess plant health conditions. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that the proposed model achieves an accuracy of 85%, outperforming other baseline architectures. To enhance deployability, the trained model is converted into TensorFlow Lite, enabling seamless integration into mobile and web-based applications. The proposed framework facilitates early disease detection, supports timely preventive measures, and contributes to improved agricultural productivity through intelligent decision support.

Abstract: The systemic mismanagement of surplus food and clothing creates significant economic and social waste, necessitating a transition from manual, fragmented charity methods to automated, data-driven platforms. This paper analyzes a web-based Digital Redistribution System developed using PHP and MySQL to facilitate real-time resource allocation between donors (restaurants, individuals) and orphanages. By shifting from a "reactive" model—where surplus often spoils before discovery—to a "proactive" digital ecosystem, the system ensures timely collection and transparent tracking. The study highlights the effectiveness of Centralized Data Management and Validation Testing in reducing manual overhead and ensuring data integrity, ultimately proposing a scalable framework for minimizing waste in urban environments. By shifting from manual, often inefficient donation methods to an automated online system, this project aims to reduce hunger and minimize environmental waste.

Abstract: One of the main purposes of Highway bituminous pavement failure and its maintenance is to provide a better road surface for the road users and carry traffic smoothly and safely with minimum cost. Paved roads in tropical and sub-tropical climates often deteriorate in different ways to those in temperate regions, because of the harsh climatic conditions, lack of proper design and quality control, high loads and inadequate assessment for identifying causes of distresses before carrying out maintenance and rehabilitation. A pavement distress that occurs at the surface can have a number of different causes which must be properly identified before corrective action is taken. Proper maintenance is very essential for longer life of the road surface.

Abstract: This study investigated the efficacy of Chinese cabbage (Brassica Rapa) liquid manure as an organic fertilizer and evaluated its role in promoting sustainable vegetable production compared to conventional synthetic practices. A field experiment was conducted in Lusaka over an eight-week period to assess its impact on the growth and yield of eggplant (Solanum melongena). The main objective of the research was to assess the effects of Chinese cabbage (brassica Rapa) organic fertilizer and synthetic fertilizers on the growth and productivity of eggplants and the specific objectives was to determine the effects on vegetative parameters such as plant height, leaf length, and stem diameter rand yield attributes, including fruit number and weight. The experiment followed a completely randomized design with three treatments: T1 (Chinese cabbage liquid manure), T2 (synthetic fertilizer), and T3 (control, no fertilizer). Data collected from replicated plots were analysed using ANOVA, which revealed significant differences in leaf length, stem diameter, and fruit yield among treatments. The results demonstrated that the Chinese cabbage-based manure significantly enhanced fruit production and soil health, supporting its potential as a viable organic alternative for small-scale farmers seeking to reduce reliance on costly synthetic inputs while maintaining productivity.

Abstract: A thesis of the five main theories describing the interaction mechanisms in the bitumen/aggregate system was conducted: theory of weak boundary layers, mechanical theory, electrostatic theory, chemical bonding theory, and thermodynamic theory (adsorption theory). The adhesion assessment methods in the bitumen/aggregate system are described, which can be divided into three main groups: determination of adhesion forces for bitumen with different materials, determination of bitumen resistance to the exfoliating action of water with different materials, and determination of adhesion as a fundamental value (contact angle measurements, interfacial fracture energy, adsorption capacity and others). It is proposed to evaluate the quality of adhesive interaction in the bitumen/aggregate system in two stages. The authors recommend using the adhesion determination methods for these two stages from the second group of methods the determination of bitumen resistance to the exfoliating action of water with different materials. In the first stage, the adhesion in the bitumen/aggregate system is determined by an accelerated technique in which the used bitumen binder and mineral material are considered as test materials. After the first stage, there are positive results in the second tests on compacted mixtures (indirect tensile strength test, Modified Lottman indirect tension test, immersion-compression test, and Hamburg wheel tracking test).
