Uncategorized

Authors: N Jeevana Jyothi, M. Priyatharshini

Abstract: Combination of multimodal healthcare data such as genomic profiles, EHRs, medical imaging, and wearable sensor data brings in new opportunities for early disease prediction and precision medicine. Nevertheless, the complexity and black-box nature of state-of-the-art machine learning models bring many challenges towards their clinical deployment. This paper introduces a novel explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) architecture for early disease prediction using multi-modal healthcare analytics. The proposed framework combines various data streams using cross-modal generative transformers, interprets results by means of feature attribution and attention heatmaps computed using SHAP values, and utilizes federated learning techniques to preserve the privacy of the participating institutions. Evaluation using real-world multimodal datasets confirms high effectiveness of our solution with accuracy of 97% and AUC of 0.971, which is much better compared to unimodal and black box models.

Uncategorized

Authors: Aravind Chagantipati

Abstract: The deployment of high-throughput deep neural networks within modern enterprise multi-cloud backbones has significantly advanced the accuracy of automated anomaly tracking. However, their highly complex, multi-layered topologies operate as opaque black boxes, creating substantial validation and trust barriers for security operations teams. This paper provides a comprehensive literature survey analyzing the structural shift from traditional shallow machine learning classifiers to deep temporal topologies using benchmark corpuses (NSL-KDD, CICIDS, and UNSW-NB15). Furthermore, it reviews contemporary post-hoc Explainable AI (XAI) integration paradigms, focusing on SHAP and LIME architectures designed to manage the performance-trust trade-off across production boundaries. We provide a rigorous analysis of classification metrics, mathematical foundations of feature attribution, and practical implications for next-generation security operations centers.

Learning System for Tree Traversal Algorithms: An Enhanced Algorithm Visualization Tool

Uncategorized

Authors: Samir Yau Nuhu, Jamilu Awwalu, Zaharaddeen Salele Iro, Zaharaddeen Sufyanu

Abstract: Tree traversal algorithms form a major part of undergraduate computer science education because they teach important concepts about how data is organized and processed in trees. However, students find these algorithms difficult to understand since they are abstract and involve following specific rules to visit each node in a particular sequence. Existing visualization tools fail to help students fully because they do not clearly separate or explain the differences between the three main Depth-First Search variants, and they do not show the step-by-step order of visited nodes in a simple and structured format. To solve these problems, this thesis presents a new interactive learning tool that runs directly in a web browser and is built using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and SVG. The tool allows students to create their own binary trees by adding nodes, gives them full control to move through each step of any traversal method, and includes a table-generation feature that automatically builds and displays a clear list showing exactly which nodes are visited and in what order. We carried out an analysis of the system’s algorithms and showed that it remains efficient and scalable even when working with larger tree. In addition, we tested the tool in a real classroom setting with 100 undergraduate computer science students. Before using the tool, their average score on a test about tree traversals was only 40%. After use of the tool their average score increased to 68%. These results clearly demonstrate that the new system overcomes the main weaknesses of earlier visualization tools and helps students gain a better understanding of tree traversal algorithms.

Leadership Styles And Employee Performance

Uncategorized

Authors: Ms. Mahima Rana

Abstract: Leadership has a significant impact on employee attitudes, actions, and performance outcomes within firms. This study investigates the impact of different leadership styles transformational, transactional, servant, and situational leadership on employee performance in a variety of organizational circumstances. Using contemporary leadership theories and empirical evidence, the study investigates the mechanisms by which leadership influences individual and team performance, focusing on factors such as motivation, communication, trust, psychological safety, organizational commitment, and adaptive capability. The study found that transformational leadership had the most positive influence on employee performance by encouraging creativity, engagement, and corporate citizenship behaviors. Servant leadership makes a substantial contribution by fostering relationships, empowering employees, and creating supportive work environments, yet transactional leadership is still useful in organized settings where performance is driven by reward and responsibility systems. Situational leadership provides flexibility by tailoring leadership actions to employee preparedness and changing organizational needs. The study also emphasizes the moderating role of organizational culture, industry features, team dynamics, and cross-cultural elements in the leadership-performance relationship. The findings emphasize the necessity of integrating leadership development activities with strategic corporate goals in order to increase staff productivity, well-being, and long-term organizational success. The study adds to the increasing body of leadership literature by offering a thorough grasp of how leadership styles influence employee performance and indicating significant topics for further research.

Benchmarking Machine Learning And Deep Learning Models For Cross-Domain Fake News Detection: Performance, Generalisation, And Computational Trade-offs

Uncategorized

Authors: Rajesh Chauhan, Akshay Bhardwaj, Rohit Kumar Verma

Abstract: The spread of false information on digital platforms has surged and there is a growing demand for the adoption of accurate and deployable automated false information detection systems. But models learned in one news domain can easily suffer significant performance drop when transferred to other domains out of the scope of its training. This study compares four classical machine learning models and five deep learning architectures for within and cross domain fake-news detection. Five publicly available benchmark datasets, which include over 150,000 labelled instances, are used for experiments: LIAR, ISOT Fake News, FakeNewsNet GossipCop, WELFake, and Fake and Real News Dataset. Their models are evaluated based on classification accuracy, F1 score, cross domain performance retention, computational cost, data requirements and interpretability. The best fine-tuned RoBERTa model obtained the highest accuracy score of 97.8% on ISOT and 84.9% on the transfer task from ISOT to GossipCop, outperforming the linear SVM model by 13.7 percentage points. However, classical models are still suitable in resource-limited and interpretability sensitive scenarios, and BiLSTM with additive attention is a balanced model. The results show that model selection should not only evaluate the predictive performance of the model but also take into account the operational constraints.

Abstract: In times when organizations face a high level of challenges, they need sophisticated models that help them to reconcile conflicting goals and maintain sustainable development. In this paper, we propose an analytical strategic decision-making model combining the use of business analytics with multi-objective optimization and sustainability principles. We base our research on Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO) concept, Pareto frontier theory, and Triple Bottom Line (TBL) framework. As a result, we have developed a model that allows organizations to deal with conflicting goals concerning profitability and risk level and maintain sustainable development at the same time. The analysis of quantitative data from different industries shows that application of the proposed model significantly increases the efficiency of decision making and strategic planning in organizations.

Real-Time IoT Environmental Monitoring: Unmasking Diurnal Thermodynamic Transitions, Inverse Humidity Relations, and Atmospheric Scrubbing Effects

Authors: Prince Pawar, Sujal Sisodiya, Associate Professor Pradeep Patel

Abstract: Rapid microclimatic fluctuations often evade detection by sparse, conventional meteorological networks, necessitating hyper-local, real-time monitoring solutions. This paper presents an analysis of an 8-hour diurnal environmental dataset (10:00 AM to 5:00 PM) captured via an Internet of Things (IoT)-based monitoring node. The system integrates low-cost sensors to continuously log ambient temperature, relative humidity, air quality (particulate/gas concentrations in ppm), light intensity, and precipitation. The empirical data reveals distinct thermodynamic transitions and strong inter-parameter correlations. Specifically, the dataset captures a textbook meteorological shift: midday solar heating—evidenced by a peak temperature of 34∘C, peak light intensity (100%), and a concurrent relative humidity drop to 45%—followed by a sudden convective afternoon rain shower. The onset of precipitation at 3:00 PM triggered an immediate environmental inversion, characterized by a 3∘C drop in temperature, a sharp moisture surge to 68% relative humidity by 5:00 PM, and a significant reduction in airborne pollutants (from a peak of 180 ppm down to 125 ppm) due to the atmospheric scrubbing effect of the rain. These findings demonstrate that high-frequency IoT sensor networks provide highly reliable, granular data essential for unmasking the velocity and impact of localized weather fronts. The proposed approach offers scalable, actionable insights applicable to urban climate mapping, smart agriculture, and industrial environmental compliance.

Dual-Transporter Targeted Lectin-Omega-3 Nanoparticles For Enhanced Neuronal Resilience In Neurodegenerative Disease Models

Authors: Hammed, Hammidat D, Enoma, Samuel, Donkoh, Christian J. K, Kikeh, Emric N, Agboola, Anthonia O, Benin, Sandra

Abstract: Neurodegenerative illnesses pose a significant problem, partly due to the challenge of getting therapeutic drugs across the blood-brain barrier (BBB), as well as the complex interactions between neuroinflammation and metabolic dysregulation. As a way to address these issues, we have created a lipid nanoparticle (LNP) system. It combines two different types of transporters with the intended goal of delivering omega-3 fatty acids through the use of plant lectins to help facilitate the movement of DHA and EPA across the BBB. As a special feature of this created LNP system, when utilizing the GLUT1 and LAT1 transporters located on the endothelium of the BBB in order to move the LNPs across the BBB from the circulation to the brain, both GLUT1 and LAT1 are used simultaneously, allowing a more efficient means of delivering the LNP system across the BBB without being limited by saturation kinetics when both GLUT1 and LAT1 are engaged. Within the LNP, both DHA and EPA are contained in an optimized ratio for both optimal delivery and maximal effect, supporting the activation of neuroprotective pathways (NF-κB suppression) and the promotion of mitochondrial biogenesis. The use of lectin (a binding agent derived from plant sources) as a means by which to reduce inflammation and provide a pathway to help the LNP system penetrate the BBB and provide an inflammatory reduction via helping to change microglial polarity towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype was also demonstrated. The experimental validations done with this LNP system, using human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derived human BBB models, clearly showed significantly greater levels of transcytosis flow than what is typically expected. As well, in transgenic Alzheimer's mouse models, the oxidative stress levels were significantly decreased and the synaptic structure was maintained. The novel nature of this work is due to the ability of each of the transporters, GLUT1 and LAT1, to target neurodegenerative disorders while also utilizing immunomodulatory and metabolic pathways in tandem. The strategy applied here provides an innovative and effective platform to enhance neuronal resiliency through the combination of neuroprotection and directional/neural specific drug delivery with applicability across a broad range of neurodegenerative diseases.

Magnetohydrodynamic Blood-Based Nanofluid Transport In Cardiovascular Prosthetics: A Numerical Study Of Coupled Heat And Mass Transfer With Nanoparticle Dynamics

Authors: Sheid, Avidime Momohjimoh, Sheidu Omeiza Momoh, Oyem Onyekachi Anslem, Shuaibu, Muhib Amoto

Abstract: This study presents a comprehensive numerical investigation of magnetohydrody-namic (MHD) blood-based nanofluid flow with coupled heat and mass transfer for cardiovascular prosthetic applications. The research addresses critical gaps in thermal regulation and targeted drug delivery modeling by developing a physiolog-ically realistic mathematical framework that incorporates electromagnetic effects, nanoparticle dynamics, and the non-Newtonian rheology of blood. The govern-ing conservation equations for mass, momentum, energy, and species concentration are formulated within a boundary layer framework, incorporating Lorentz forces, variable thermal conductivity, viscous dissipation, Joule heating, Brownian motion, thermophoresis, and chemical reactions. Through similarity transformations, the nonlinear partial differential equations are reduced to a system of coupled ordinary differential equations, which are solved numerically using a collocation method im-plemented in Python (scipy.integrate.solve_bvp). A comprehensive parametric analysis reveals that thermal and solutal buoyancy significantly enhance momentum transport, while the Prandtl number governs thermal boundary layer characteristics. Nanoparticle transport is predominantly controlled by thermophoresis and Brown-ian motion, with thermophoresis promoting nanoparticle accumulation and Brown-ian motion enhancing diffusion. The Schmidt number suppresses species diffusion, while the Casson parameter exhibits minimal influence on velocity but significantly affects thermal distribution. The magnetic parameter introduces resistive Lorentz forces that modify both momentum and thermal fields. These findings provide valu-able insights for the design of cardiovascular prosthetics, thermal therapy systems, and targeted drug delivery platforms.

Positive Psychology and the Promotion of Positive Emotions and Well- Being in Contemporary Children

Uncategorized

Authors: Dr. Homesh Rani

Abstract: In contemporary society, fostering positive emotions among children has emerged as a significant developmental challenge. Positive emotions include joy, gratitude, hope, curiosity, resilience, and empathy that play prominent role in promoting psychological well-being, social competence, academic engagement, and overall healthy development. However, rapid advancement of technology has heightened academic expectations, and changing family dynamics have altered children's emotional experiences. From the perspective of positive psychology, the cultivation of positive emotions is essential because they broaden children's cognitive and behavioural capacities, strengthen resilience, and facilitate coping with everyday challenges. Consequently, educational institutions, families, and communities must adopt evidence-based strategies that promote emotional literacy, supportive relationships, mindfulness, gratitude, prosocial behaviour, and balanced use of technology. Such interventions are crucial for nurturing emotionally competent, resilient, and socially responsible individuals who can thrive in an increasingly complex and demanding world. This paper explores the conceptual foundations, historical development, major theoretical perspectives, and applications of positive psychology. It further highlights the contributions of Martin E. P. Seligman and other scholars in advancing a strengths-based approach to human development and well-being.

Extraction of the Kinetic Freeze-Out Temperature by an alternative method in Au–Au Collisions at RHIC BES Energies: A Fokker–Planck Analysis

Uncategorized

Authors: Hassan Ali Khan, Hadiqa Qadir

Abstract: Understanding the late-stage evolution of the fireball created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions is essential for constraining the transport properties and the equation of state of the strongly interacting matter. In this study, we extract the kinetic freeze-out temperature, Tkin, from the transverse momentum spectra of identified hadrons produced in Au–Au collisions across the RHIC Beam Energy Scan, spanning √sNN = 7.7 to 200 GeV. Our analysis builds upon effective temperatures obtained in our previous work, from which we isolate the kinetic decoupling temperature by applying a linear fit, Teff = m m0 + Tkin, to the particle mass dependence of the effective temperatures. We present two independent sets of fitting results, which show consistent qualitative behaviors and provide robust estimates of the freeze-out parameters. Our extracted values of Tkin reveal two clear and systematic trends. For any fixed collision energy, the freeze-out temperature decreases monotonically as we move from central to peripheral collisions, reflecting the diminishing system size, lower energy density, and reduced rescattering in the later stages of the fireball evolution. For a fixed centrality bin, the temperature rises with increasing beam energy, but the rise is not uniform: a steep increase at low energies is followed by a plateau around 19.6–39 GeV, which then gives way to a renewed rise at the highest RHIC energies. This non-monotonic behaviour is interpreted as evidence for a change in the underlying degrees of freedom, consistent with the system transitioning from a baryon-rich hadronic phase through a possible crossover region and into a parton-dominated phase at the highest energies. The results demonstrate that the kinetic freeze-out temperature is a sensitive probe of the system size, initial energy density, and the stiffness of the equation of state. Our findings provide important constraints for hydrodynamic models and highlight the utility of the Fokker–Planck approach in extracting freeze-out parameters from experimental data.
