Abstract: Pneumonia is a significant respiratory disease and one of the top causes of illness and death around the world, especially among children and the elderly. Timely and accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment and better patient outcomes. Recent developments in deep learning, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), have shown impressive results in medical image analysis by automatically identifying important patterns in complex image data. This project introduces a real-time pneumonia identification system that combines CNN-based classification with Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques to improve diagnosis accuracy and model clarity. The proposed system processes digitized chest X-ray images through an efficient preprocessing pipeline. This includes noise removal, image normalization, and background feature consideration before sending the images to a trained deep learning model. The ensemble model merges two strong CNN architectures, VGG16 and ResNet50, and uses their complementary feature extraction abilities to boost classification performance. The model classifies Bacterial Pneumonia, Viral Pneumonia, and normal cases, providing clearer clinical insights. Experimental results show high accuracy, strong sensitivity, and real-time inference capability. This allows for pneumonia detection within seconds, which is vital in clinical settings that need quick diagnoses. To tackle the black-box issue of deep learning models, Explainable AI techniques like Grad-CAM++ (Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping++) and Score-CAM are used to visualize the key lung areas that affect the model’s predictions. The system also offers confidence scores with visual explanations, enhancing understanding and aiding clinical decision-making. Overall, the proposed CNN and XAI framework offers an efficient, clear, and clinically helpful solution for automated pneumonia detection. The system has strong potential to assist radiologists, boost diagnostic confidence, and contribute to early disease detection and improved patient care.

Abstract: Maritime surveillance plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety, security, and regulation of activities in open sea environments. One of the major challenges faced by maritime authorities is the detection of vessels that intentionally disable their Automatic Identification System (AIS) transponders to conceal illegal activities such as unauthorized fishing, smuggling, or unauthorized entry into restricted maritime zones. AIS messages transmitted by ships are widely used for monitoring vessel trajectories; however, missing AIS signals may occur due to multiple reasons including satellite reception limitations, weather disturbances, or intentional shutdown of AIS devices. Distinguishing between these scenarios becomes difficult when dealing with massive volumes of satellite AIS data. This study proposes an intelligent deep learning framework for detecting intentional AIS shutdown events using self-supervised learning techniques. The proposed approach processes large-scale AIS datasets collected from satellite-based maritime surveillance systems and extracts trajectory-based features such as vessel position, speed, time intervals between messages, and movement patterns. A transformer-based deep learning architecture is used to analyse sequential AIS message data and predict whether a new AIS message is expected within a specific time window. By comparing the predicted results with the actual observations, the system identifies abnormal missing AIS receptions that may indicate intentional signal shutdown. The self-supervised learning approach allows the model to generate pseudo-labels from unlabelled AIS data, eliminating the need for manually labelled datasets. Experimental analysis demonstrates that the proposed framework can process millions of AIS messages in near real-time while achieving high prediction accuracy in detecting abnormal vessel behaviour. The integration of deep learning techniques improves the reliability and scalability of maritime surveillance systems, enabling authorities to identify suspicious vessel activities more efficiently. This framework contributes to enhancing maritime security, improving monitoring capabilities in open sea environments, and supporting timely detection of illegal maritime operations

Abstract: The rapid growth of encrypted internet protocols such as HTTP/3 and QUIC has significantly improved communication speed and security on modern networks. However, these protocols also introduce new challenges for network security, particularly in detecting Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) traffic flood attacks. Traditional monitoring techniques rely on packet inspection, which becomes difficult when network traffic is encrypted. This study proposes an intelligent machine learning framework for detecting QUIC-based traffic flood attacks in encrypted HTTP/3 network environments. The proposed system analyses network flow behaviour rather than packet content, enabling effective detection even when traffic payloads are encrypted. To build the detection model, network traffic data are captured and processed into flow-based features such as packet rate, packet size distribution, inter-arrival time, and connection statistics. Data preprocessing techniques are applied to prepare the dataset for machine learning training. Multiple classification algorithms including Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbours (KNN), and Random Forest are implemented and evaluated using standard performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and ROC–AUC. Experimental results demonstrate that the Random Forest classifier achieves the highest detection accuracy and provides reliable performance for distinguishing between normal and malicious QUIC traffic patterns. To improve transparency and interpretability of the prediction process, Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques such as SHAP and LIME are incorporated into the framework. These methods highlight the most influential network features contributing to attack detection and help security analysts understand the reasoning behind model predictions. The proposed framework enhances the reliability of encrypted traffic monitoring, improves early detection of QUIC traffic flood attacks, and contributes to strengthening the security of next-generation web communication protocols.

Abstract: Digital event management faces significant challenges due to the increasing demand for virtual and hybrid events and the lack of integrated platforms for managing them efficiently. Event organizers often rely on multiple disconnected systems for handling registrations, scheduling, live streaming, and participant engagement, which leads to operational complexity and inconsistent user experiences. This project proposes an intelligent and automated digital event management system that uses modern web technologies, cloud services, and real-time communication modules to manage and streamline event operations. The system employs a centralized web-based platform integrated with user interfaces for real-time event coordination using scalable frontend and backend frameworks. A role-based access control mechanism and automated workflow system manage activities such as registration, ticketing, session scheduling, and live interaction. The platform integrates engagement tools including chat, polls, and Q&A features to enhance user participation. This automated approach improves event efficiency, reduces manual coordination effort, minimizes system fragmentation, and supports the growing demand for scalable and user-centric digital event solutions.

Abstract: The rapid adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) has created a growing demand for efficient, sustainable, and convenient charging infrastructure. This paper proposes an IoT-based solar-powered wireless power transfer (WPT) system integrated into roadways for dynamic charging of electric vehicles. The system utilizes photovoltaic panels installed alongside or beneath road surfaces to harness solar energy, which is stored and managed using intelligent energy storage systems. Wireless power transfer is achieved through inductive coupling between transmitter coils embedded in the road and receiver coils mounted on EVs, enabling real-time charging while the vehicle is in motion. The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology allows for continuous monitoring, control, and optimization of energy distribution, traffic conditions, and system performance. Sensors and communication modules collect real-time data, which is processed to ensure efficient power delivery and load balancing. This approach minimizes range anxiety, reduces dependency on stationary charging stations, and enhances energy efficiency by utilizing renewable energy sources. The proposed system presents a scalable, eco-friendly, and smart solution for future transportation infrastructure, contributing to reduced carbon emissions and sustainable urban mobility.

Abstract: Achieving self-reliance (Atmanirbhar) in India’s electric vehicle (EV) sector mandates a strategic shift from reliance on imported lithium-ion (Li-ion) technology toward alternative chemistries utilizing domestically abundant raw materials. The Sodium-ion Battery (SIB) is identified as the leading alternative technology capable of ensuring immediate raw material independence by leveraging domestic reserves of sodium, iron, and manganese. SIBs are ideally suited for the cost-sensitive, short-range segments of India's market, specifically electric two-wheeler (e-2W) and three-wheeler (e-3W) segments.1 While Li-ion currently holds a cost advantage, scaled SIB production is projected to achieve cost leadership, potentially reaching $40-$50 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) at the pack level by the end of the decade.4 SIBs also offer superior safety and temperature tolerance, critical for mass EV adoption and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).2 The primary recommendation is the rapid utilization of the 5 GWh capacity earmarked under the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) Niche ACC scheme to commercialize SIBs, focusing especially on establishing a completely indigenous supply chain for the hard carbon anode using domestic biomass.7 Successful localization is projected to capture nearly 80% of the estimated $300 billion domestic EV battery market by 2030, generating substantial employment and revenue.

Abstract: The constant hum of social media has become the defining factor in the way young people and young adults sleep, or, more appropriately, the way they don’t sleep. Throughout the literature, the common factor is the way in which excessive usage of social networks, online communities, and the sheer volume of electronic communications impacts the sleep cycle in this age group. The need to remain connected at all hours has become the defining factor in sleep issues for both young people and young adults. Both biology and psychology are commonly cited as the two major factors behind sleep issues in this age group. For example, the biology of the blue light emanating from their smartphones is commonly cited as a factor in sleep issues. But more than anything, the need to remain connected has become the defining factor in sleep issues in this age group. The main aim of this paper is to examine the role of social media in the way young people and young adults sleep. The secondary aim is to identify the major factor behind the sleep issues in this age group. This will be done by using a secondary research approach to identify the major factor behind the sleep issues in this age group.

Abstract: Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) play a crucial role in developing a skilled workforce in India, yet many graduates face challenges in securing sustainable employment due to gaps between training and industry requirements. This paper explores how strategic management practices can enhance the employability of ITI-qualified students by aligning institutional objectives with dynamic labor market needs. It examines key strategies such as industry–institute partnerships, curriculum modernization, competency-based training, soft skills development, and the integration of digital technologies in vocational education. Drawing on selected Indian case studies, the study highlights successful models where collaboration with industry stakeholders, apprenticeship programs, and outcome-oriented training frameworks have significantly improved job placement rates. Institutions that adopted proactive management approaches—such as continuous skill mapping, faculty upskilling, and data-driven decision-making—demonstrated stronger employment outcomes for their students. The paper argues that adopting a strategic management perspective enables ITIs to transition from traditional training centers to agile, demand-driven skill hubs. It concludes by recommending policy-level support, strengthened public-private partnerships, and the institutionalization of monitoring and evaluation mechanisms to ensure long-term impact. These findings provide actionable insights for educators, policymakers, and administrators aiming to bridge the employability gap in India’s vocational education sector.
