2. Assessing the effects of social isolation on elderly individuals

Loneliness and social isolation, prevalent among older adults, have profound and often interconnected effects on physical and mental health, leading to increased mortality, depression, and cognitive decline. This paper reviews the literature on social isolation and loneliness in seniors. Key factors contributing to social isolation include the death of a spouse, physical relocation, retirement, changes in family structures, changes in mobility, chronic health problems, household income, race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation. These factors have varying impacts on the social well-being of older adults. Research suggests that subjective social isolation has a stronger link to mental health, while objective social isolation is more strongly related to physical health. Both social isolation and loneliness are associated with higher rates of depression and psychological distress among seniors. Understanding social isolation and loneliness in seniors is crucial for developing targeted interventions and support systems to enhance the well-being of this growing demographic.

5. Efficient establishment of foreign manufacturing units in India: utilizing operation research approaches amidst changing import regulations

With increasing regulatory policies from countries, companies have to find an efficient way to set up their manufacturing units in other countries as well. Currently majority of the companies set up their manufacturing units in China as they are able to manufacture products at a cheaper price, however this will not work for the long term, as if the companies intend to sell their products in countries with restrictive import policies, they will have to diversify and set up their manufacturing units in that/those countries as well. To select the right location for setting up a manufacturing unit, a company must look into what we classified as Internal and External factors which we will be going in-depth further into the research paper. This research paper sets out to provide a framework to those companies that are looking to set up their own manufacturing units in a country using operation research tools such as Linear programming which includes visualizing the “Internal” factors as a transportation problem. One probable limitation of this research paper is assuming that the current demand for the products in the economy will remain equal to the forecasted demand or demand in the coming years after setting up the manufacturing units, demand will be used in the linear programming problems later in this research paper.

6. Improvised approach to Deepfake detection

Deepfakes are realistic, human-synthesized videos that are incredibly simple to produce thanks to the advent of sophisticated algorithms fueled by advances in the field of deep learning. Deepfakes are being used to create fictitious news stories about terrorism, politics, and retaliation in order to incite societal unrest. The development of efficient techniques for identifying deepfakes is imperative, given the mounting concerns surrounding them. Our work in this field offers a brand-new deep learning-based method that effectively distinguishes between authentic videos and artificial intelligence-generated phony ones. Our technique can identify deepfakes that are both reenactments and replacements. To counter the threat posed by artificial intelligence (AI), we suggest a system that makes use of AI. In order to train an InceptionV3 model to categorize films as either real or manipulated, depending on whether they have undergone any kind of alteration, this method uses an MTCNN neural network to extract frame-level information. We assess our method on a large-scale balanced and mixed data set in order to mimic real-time scenarios and improve the model’s performance on real-time data. This dataset was painstakingly created by combining multiple available datasets.

20. A relationship between the burning number of a graph and its domination number

Graph burning, introduced by Elham Rashanbin in 2016, has gained significant research attention in recent years. This innovative concept involves iteratively selecting nodes in a given graph to 'burn' at each time step. The previously burnt nodes then ignite the adjacent nodes, and this process continues until all nodes are burnt. The minimum number of nodes required to ignite the entire graph is known as the burning number. Similarly, the domination number of a graph refers to the size of the smallest vertex subsets that ensure every vertex in the graph is either part of the subset or adjacent to a vertex within the subset. In this paper, we demonstrate that if the domination number of a graph is at least 6, then its burning number is smaller than or equal to its domination number.

21. Insider Trading in India

This research paper delves into the critical issue of insider trading within India’s securities markets and evaluates the effectiveness of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) regulations, specifically the SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations of 2015. Insider trading’s profound impact on market integrity and investor trust is highlighted, with a focus on the transition from the earlier 1992 regulations to more recent 2015 regulations. These rules are intended to address the shortcomings of the prior ones and reduce the likelihood of insider trading. Indian company legislation mandates the creation of a yearly account that summarizes the business's financial results for the previous year. It also mandates that the business disclose its assets and obligations at the conclusion of each bookkeeping period. To guarantee accountability in the business's administration, this has been made available. This meeting is held to monitor and evaluate the operations of the business. Nonetheless, some data is known to the employers of the business straightforwardly or who are generally associated with it before it is really disclosed. For instance, a chartered accountant audits the company's financial data; business directors make decisions; etc. Because they have access to this price-sensitive, unpublished information, those associated with the companies are in a better position than those who do not. insider trading, one of the most severe charges in the securities market, is the result of such a transaction. Considering this, the current study paper provides a critical analysis of SEBI's 2015 insider trading regulations and examines the concept of insider trading in India. The study also underscores the significance of annual reporting and discloser requirements imposed by Indian company legislation, which plays a crucial role in transparency and accountability. Furthermore, it examines the susceptibility of individuals associated with companies to access sensitive, price-sensitive information and the consequent risk of insider trading. Through case studies, the paper illustrates real-world examples of insider trading in India and its regulatory challenges. Ultimately, the study aims to provide insights into the current state of insider trading regulations in India and suggests areas for improvement to strengthen market integrity and investor protection.

23. Bank Mergers- Are they really a blessing for the Indian Economy

A bank merger occurs when two banks combine their resources so that they can operate as one bank in the future. Banks have been able to implement more effective business strategies, diversify their geographic activities, and scale up their operations due to mergers. In India, bank mergers first took place in the 1960s as a strategy to rescue weaker banks while simultaneously safeguarding the interests of customers. The desire to create an Indian bank that can compete with global giants in the post-liberalization period has existed since 1990. As the pillars of our economy, banks are regularly pushed to combine in order to grow internationally and foster peace, which improves the flow of money in our economy. The Indian banking sector is now thought to be expanding quickly and evolving into a vibrant sector. Through mergers and acquisitions, the industry is given a new dimension that has helped banks rise to the top while providing enormous value to shareholders. The merger, which resulted in the consolidation of 27 public sector banks into 12, had as its main goal the establishment of next-generation banks and the eventual realization of a trillion-dollar economy. It is evaluated in this paper by analyzing its impact on the banks' productivity, personnel, and customers.

26. Carrier-facilitated transport of Glycine leucine, and valine across the liquid membrane using anthraquinone-derived podands

Liquid membrane systems mimic membrane-mediated processes using designed carriers for the transport of substrate based on molecular recognition has potential applications in developing novel separation systems. We have designed and synthesized a new series of redox switched anthraquinone derived podands (receptor) 1-(1-anthraquinonloxy), 3,6,9 triaoxanonane–9–methane (A1) 1-(1- anthraquinonloxy), 3, oxapentane – 5 – methane (A2),1-( anthraquinonloxy), 3 methoxy methane (A3), 1,5 bis (2-(2-(2-(2- hydroxyethoxy) ethoxy) ethoxy) anthrancene 9-10 dione (A4), 1,5 bis (2-(2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ehoxy)ethoxy)anthracene-9-10 dione (A5), 1,5 bis -(2-(2- hydroxyethoxy) ethoxy)ethoxy)anthracene-9-10 dione (A6) have been characterized by M.P., TLC, IR, H1NMR, Mass spectral analysis and cyclic voltammetry and used as a carrier in liquid-liquid extractionbulk liquid membrane, supported liquid membrane transport of amino acids. Quinone moiety present in these receptors not only acts as redox centers but also acts as a ligating site to interact with the substrate. The binding affinity of these synthesized receptors towards amino acid has been investigated and characterized in the solid state as a soft material and explored in solution state by liquid-liquid extraction, BLM, SLM system. Recognition of amino acid by synthesized receptor retained in both solid as well as solution state. The trend of transport of amino acid is lecucine>valine>glycine. Receptors A4,A5,A6 are bibracchial podands that proved to be good extractants and poor carriers than single-armed podands A1,A2,A3. Selectivity and specificity signify their scope in separation and use in the fabrication of biosensors and redox scitchable devices.

27. A comprehensive literature survey on non-contact laser-based measurement systems

Measurement is quantifying, evaluating, or accessing various physical quantities. Dimensional measurement is the most important factor determining a manufactured component's quality. There are 3 forms of measurement – manual, contact automated, and noncontact automated measurement. Manual measurement is when an operator performs a measurement using handheld instruments. Even if one person performs inaccurate measurements this leads to inaccuracy and hence the quality of the part is compromised. To overcome this human error, automated measurement systems were developed. In automated measurement, a part is placed within the system and the measurements are performed without human intervention. Hence improving the accuracy and reliability of the measurement process. Measurement systems have become the backbone of the manufacturing industry today. Various methods and technologies are used to develop these measurement systems. This comprehensive literature survey focuses on non-contact measurement systems. It also highlights the advances in these measurement systems, and how non-contact measurement systems have an upper hand over contact-based systems along with case studies on related research work presented for non-contact measurement in various fields.

28. Management of Yuvanpidika (acne-vulgaris) – A case study

Acne-vulgaris is one of the most frequently seen chronic skin disorders. It is the most common dermatological disease of adolescents, affecting more than 89% of teenagers and frequently continuing into adulthood. It is an inflammatory condition of the pilosebaceous unit characterized by the formation of open and closed comedones, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts. It can be correlated with Yuvanpidika. Eruptions on the face of an adolescent are called Yuvanpidika. The incidence of Yuvanpidika is increasing day by day due to the consumption of fried, spicy foods, grated foods, chocolates, etc, which leads to vitiations of doshas. This case is an ideal example of Yuvanpidika and is successfully treated with Ayurveda therapy. The patient was suffering from pustular acne, black-colored spots, pain, and itching along with a burning sensation present on their face for the last year. Considering the clinical features and vitiated doshas vata, kapha, and rakta are involved in pathology. The patient was treated with an external application of kustumbruadi lepa which is mentioned in Sushruta Samhita, Chikitsa Sthana. Treatment was continued for 45 days. At the end of treatment, there was a complete disappearance of acne, pain relief, burning sensation, itching, and also an improvement in discoloration of the face. The skin of the face is glowing. Hence it was concluded that Kustumbruadi lepa is highly effective in the management of Yuvanpidika.

30. The categorical product of two odd cycle is a 2-connected graph

Recent advancements in graph theory often incorporate the concept of graph products. The concept of the categorical product of graphs was introduced by the mathematician Frank Harary in his paper titled "Topological Concepts for Maximum Graphs" published in 1969. The categorical product of graphs can be used to model and analyze complex network topologies. By considering the product of individual components, such as nodes or edges, one can study the interconnections and properties of the overall network structure. In light of this, our study aims to explore the properties of the categorical product of two graphs and demonstrate that the categorical products of two-cycle graphs with odd lengths are 2-connected.

32. A comparison of Machine Learning techniques for predicting IMDb score of movies

In the world of film industry analytics, predicting the success of movies based on various input features has garnered considerable attention in recent times. This research is important because it can help people in the movie industry make better decisions. It allows them to allocate resources effectively, minimize risks, and enhance the overall success of movie projects. This research paper presents and compares different machine learning techniques to predict the IMDb score of movies by leveraging multiple input features such as release date, genre, budget, gross revenue, profit, number of votes, country of origin, director, actor, writer, production studio, and runtime. We also account for the inflation rate over the years while considering the monetary attributes. We explore two methods: one where we transform and reduce the data using techniques like one-hot encoding and PCA, and another where we use label encoding for categorical data. In the first method, we try three models: Support Vector Regressor (SVR), RandomForest Regressor, and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). In the second method, we use RandomForest Regressor, Gradient Boosting Regressor, and LightGBM Regressor. We measure how well these models predict by looking at Mean Squared Error (MSE) and R-squared. This research helps provide people in the film industry with insights into what factors contribute to a movie's success.

33. Phishing mail detection using bidirectional LSTM

Phishing attacks have become a major concern in today's digital world, where malicious actors try to dupe unsuspecting individuals into divulging sensitive information. The need for effective methods to detect phishing emails has become crucial. In this study, we propose a novel approach for phishing mail detection using Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) networks. BiLSTM networks are a type of recurrent neural network (RNN) that can capture temporal dependencies in sequential data. Our approach leverages the power of BiLSTM networks to analyze the content and structure of emails for identifying phishing attempts. We preprocess the email data by converting them into sequential tokenized representations. These representations are then fed into the BiLSTM network to learn the patterns and features associated with phishing emails. We train our model using a large dataset of labeled phishing and non-phishing emails. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed approach achieves high detection accuracy, outperforming traditional machine learning algorithms. The ability of BiLSTM networks to capture both past and future contextual information allows our model to effectively identify phishing emails based on their content and structural properties. With the increasing sophistication of phishing attacks, the development of robust and accurate detection systems is paramount. Our approach contributes to this goal by providing an efficient and reliable method for detecting phishing emails, thereby enhancing the security of individuals and businesses
