Secure result processing system amid COVID-19 and beyond using digital signature
Digital workflow of results from the department where results are generated, to the processing unit, and finally to the students or any other units where results are needed is highly recommended more especially in this era of technological revolution and COVID-19 epidemics. Besides, a couple of drawbacks is usually associated with paper-based result processing. These drawbacks included but were not limited to high overhead cost, high fraud risk, document misplacement, degradation of the document after multiple printing, and delay in result processing. However, online result processing cannot be exonerated from fraud such as cyber-related fraud. Cybercrimes are increasing on daily basis with more concern in developing countries and as such, every online business or transaction should be defended against malicious attacks and unnecessary alterations. Considering the critical and confidential nature of results vis-à-vis the menace associated with cybercrime, this paper suggests the application of digital signature in online result processing to ensure the authentication of the sender, integrity of data, and non-repudiation. The use of the digital signature technique as a security measure in online result processing will promote trust and acceptability of results and other related information. This paper carried out an overview of cybercrime, introduced the concept, framework, and application of digital signature in online result processing.

The impact of nuclear energy on the environment
In recent decades, the demand for energy for economic growth has increased and available resources, especially fossil fuels, have fallen sharply. The indiscriminate and increasing use of various energy vehicles such as oil, gas, and coal has drawn the attention of countries to two important problems, namely the depletion of fossil fuels and environmental pollution. Therefore, one of the most important priorities of energy policy is to diversify energy sources and also to find a safe, cheap, and emission-free energy source. Nuclear energy is therefore important. In this regard, the main purpose of this article is to investigate the impact of nuclear energy consumption on the quality of the environment in a group of selected countries. The present research is library research in terms of purpose, a causal study in terms of research method, and in terms of research method and nature and method of approaching the inferential problem. The results of estimating the model using the fixed effects method in the group of selected countries in the period 2004-2014 show that nuclear energy consumption has a negative and significant effect on CO2 emissions as an indicator of environmental quality.

Treatment and reclamation of wastewater
Water is an indispensable resource and crucial to sustaining life. Water scarcity is one of the largest threats all over the world. The growing population, rapid industrialization as well urbanization discharges wastewater. The wastewater presents various pollutants like biological agents, heavy metals, dyes, phenols, pesticides as well as dissolved or non-dissolved chemicals. Wastewater treatment is one of the most important solutions to reuse the water. The wastewater consists of physical, chemical, and biological characteristics. Several parameters are involved to check water quality. The three distinct types of water quality parameters like physical, chemical as well as biological parameters. Several physicochemical methods and technologies are recently used in wastewater treatment. The treatment of wastewater protects human health and reduces the amount of waste that is generally released into the environment and improves environmental health. Wastewater is one of the most essential reliable sources of irrigation water for several farmers. The most general sources of marginal quality water are Agricultural drainage water, Municipal and Industrial wastewater as well as shallow groundwater. Wastewater reclamation and reuse are imperative for the future. The important role of wastewater reclamation is saving the sustainable environment. The reclaimed water is used for various purposes like irrigation, gardening, cooling system, toilet flushing, cooling of air conditioning system, and several other uses.

Analysis and design of R.C.C. and composite structures with Steel Beam
Structural engineers are facing the challenge of striving for the most efficient and economical design solutions while ensuring the final design of a building to be serviceable for its intended function, habitable for its occupants, and safe over its design lifetime. As our country is the fastest-growing country across the globe and needs shelter with higher land costs in major cities where further horizontal expansion is not much possible due to space shortage, we are left with the solution of vertical expansion. Steel-concrete composite construction has gained wide acceptance worldwide as an alternative to pure steel and pure concrete construction. Reinforced concrete members are used in the framing system for most of the buildings since this is the most convenient and economic system for low-rise buildings. However, for medium to high-rise buildings, this type of structure is no longer economical because of increased dead load, less stiffness, span restriction, and hazardous formwork. A steel-concrete composite frame system can provide an effective and economic solution to most of these problems in medium to high rise buildings. An attempt has been made in this study to explore the cost-effectiveness of composite construction. The study concludes that composite structures can be best suited as compared Reinforced Concrete Structures
