 Abstract

The concept of Soundarya in Ayurveda transcends mere physical appearance, emphasizing the harmonious integration of body, mind, and spirit as the true essence of beauty. The Charaka Samhita presents a comprehensive vision of aesthetics through its detailed descriptions of Dinacharya (daily regimen), Rtucharya (seasonal regimen), and rejuvenative therapies such as Rasayana, alongside external applications including Lepa (herbal paste), Abhyanga (oil massage), and Mukhalepa (facial applications), all of which enhance complexion, luster, and vitality. These references reveal the classical Ayurvedic understanding of beauty as an outcome of internal wellness, dosha equilibrium, and mindful external care. Thus, the Charaka Samhita articulates an enduring and holistic perspective on Soundarya--one that harmonizes aesthetics with health, longevity, and psychological well-being.

 Abstract

Efficient highway route planning requires minimizing construction cost, reducing environmental disturbance, and adapting to complex terrain conditions--tasks that traditional GIS-based and manual planning methods often struggle to accomplish. This study presents a comprehensive review of satellite image-driven techniques for highway route optimization using high-resolution imagery collected from Google Earth. A set of 25 peer-reviewed studies published between 2019 and 2024 are analysed to examine advancements in deep learning-based semantic segmentation, terrain analysis, and multi-objective optimization algorithms. The survey highlights modern approaches such as U-Net-based land cover classification, graph-based shortest-path algorithms, and multi-criteria decision-making frameworks that enable the identification of eco-friendly and cost-efficient high- way alignments. Key challenges--including data preprocessing complexity, regulatory constraints, and the lack of real-time adaptability--are discussed in detail. The findings also outline promising future directions in AI-driven geospatial modelling, automated environmental impact assessment, and sustainable route planning. This review serves as a valuable reference for researchers and policymakers seeking environmentally conscious and technically reliable highway route optimization solutions using satellite imagery from platforms like Google Earth.

 Abstract

The judiciary and the legal profession together constitute the foundation of constitutional governance and the rule of law. Their credibility determines not only the effectiveness of justice delivery but also the moral authority of the State. While historically both institutions were regarded as noble and service-oriented, contemporary realities reveal challenges such as delay, commercialization, ethical decline, and institutional overload. This research article critically examines the evolution of the judiciary and the legal profession in India across three temporal dimensions--past, present, and future. Through doctrinal analysis, judicial observations, comparative perspectives, and reform-oriented critique, the paper argues that the crisis facing the justice system is not merely procedural but ethical and cultural. The study concludes that meaningful reform requires ethical revitalization of the legal profession, structural judicial reforms, quality legal education, and enhanced civic responsibility.

 Abstract

Industrial environments require continuous mon itoring of multiple environmental parameters to ensure the safety of personnel and infrastructure. Conventional monitoring systems often present raw sensor readings without meaningful interpretation, limiting their effectiveness in real-world safety applications. This paper presents HazardSense, a centralized Internet of Things (IoT)-based environmental safety monitor ing system designed to interpret multi-sensor data and assess environmental risk conditions. The system integrates gas, tem perature, humidity, flame, and light sensors using an ESP32 microcontroller and processes the collected data to classify safety conditions based on predefined thresholds. Instead of focusing solely on individual sensor outputs, HazardSense correlates sensor readings to determine severity levels and provide action able safety insights. Experimental evaluation under controlled conditions demonstrates the system's ability to identify unsafe environmental states and support early warning mechanisms. The proposed approach offers a cost-effective, scalable, and practical solution for enhancing situational awareness in industrial and indoor environments.

 Abstract

The mass media is perceived as a fourth pillar of a nation. The journalistic profession is seen as a tool to report the facts and question the injustice happenings in the society. In this male dominated field, women's participation and their achievements are inevitable. Since ancient times, women have displayed their remarkable ability in reporting the human rights violations, corruptions, and also investigative reporting. In 2021 the World Press Freedom Index had ranked India at 142 out of 180 countries. The reporters face physical harassments to murder due to multiple challenges and social stigma. The reason for the ranking in the world press freedom can be said due to the vilification of the journalist, police cases against them, defamation and sedition suits etc. In case of women, they face more challenges in this profession. According to Reporters without Borders there has been a 35% rise in women journalists being sent to prison for their work worldwide. It also includes, gender bias, disparity in pay package, intimidation, violence of sexual nature, threats to their families, trolls, and the like. Reporters are required to seek judicial help for their safety. There are many case studies of the struggles that the women journalist has faced and enduring. The situation of women journalists is contrary in the present time. On one side, there is a strong participation of women in media. But at the same time, the safety and their professional growth is a questionable one. There are many successful women journalists in the country who have paved their way to the top. In this study, the researcher tried to understand the real time challenges in this journalism field through qualitative method. It will also provide the suggestion for the women reporters to make a mark in this male dominated profession.

ABSTRACT Aim: This study aims to compare the effectiveness of upper limb and scapular stabilization exercises over the elastic resistance band exercises for trapezitis among college students. Background of the Study: Trapezitis is an inflammation of trapezius muscle, Symptoms of trapezitis include pain, tenderness, stiffness in neck and shoulders, difficulty in moving arms. Poor posture, overuse, or injury can all contribute to the condition. The primary purpose of present experimental study was to prevent pain and help students to write efficiently. Materials and Methods: once the study is approved by institutional review board, 30 students both male and female suffering trapezitis were selected. The study setting was in Chennai. The source population includes male and female, age between 18-25, NPRS score with in 7 and excludes NPRS scale ranging>7, pain in area other than trapezius muscle, history of fracture or dislocation in upper limb, neoplasm, recent surgery.

 Abstract

Alcohol impairment poses significant risks in recreational activities like go-karting, jeopardizing the safety of participants and bystanders alike. Addressing this concern, this project focuses on implementing an innovative solution: an alcohol detection system with go-kart ignition locking. From keeping people safe on the roads to keeping tabs on them in hospitals and offices, alcohol detection systems are essential. Potential harms linked to alcohol intake can be better identified and prevented with its aid. By including a high-tech alcohol detection system with a NodeMCU (ESP8266) microcontroller, this project aims to improve safety measures in go-karting conditions. The system's goal is to allow for control and monitoring of the go-kart igniting process in real-time via the use of an alcohol sensor, a relay module, and an LCD display. If the go-kart driver is in the area of a potential source of alcohol vapours, the alcohol sensor will sound an alarm. When it senses that someone is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the NodeMCU will activate the relay module, which will then lock the go-kart's ignition system. Intuitive and transparent, the LCD screen provides real-time feedback on the alcohol detection status, allowing users and operators to respond quickly.

 Abstract

This analysis examines the socio-spiritual contributions of the Vivekananda Kendra, a "spiritually oriented service mission" founded on the ideals of Swami Vivekananda. Central to the organization's mission are the twin concepts of "Man-making" and "Nation-building." This paper explores how the Kendra translates these philosophical abstractions into tangible social action through its diverse projects in education, rural development, sustainable technology, and yoga. Through a critical analysis, the research evaluates the Kendra's unique organizational structure, which emphasizes lay leadership over traditional monastic models, and its ideological synthesis of Vedantic spirituality with grassroots social service. The study further assesses the impact of its key initiatives, such as the Vivekananda Kendra Vidyalayas (VKVs) and the Natural Resources Development Project (VK-NARDEP), in fostering national integration and self-reliance. While the organization successfully mobilizes youth and promotes cultural consciousness, the analysis also addresses the challenges of maintaining ideological consistency in a pluralistic society and the critiques regarding its alignment with broader socio-political movements. Ultimately, the paper argues that the Kendra serves as a significant modern vehicle for "Applied Vedanta," though its long-term success depends on balancing traditional values with contemporary social shifts.

 Abstract

Wound healing is a dynamic, multifaceted biological process essential for restoring tissue integrity following injury. This comprehensive review examines wound classification by duration, depth, contamination, and etiology, alongside major types including traumatic, surgical, burn, pressure, venous, arterial, diabetic, and mixed ulcers. The physiological phases hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling are detailed at cellular and molecular levels, highlighting dysregulation in chronic wounds due to persistent inflammation, impaired angiogenesis, biofilm formation, and oxidative stress. Standard management follows the TIME framework (Tissue debridement, Infection control, Moisture balance, Edge advancement), with type-specific strategies such as compression for venous ulcers, offloading for diabetic foot ulcers, and revascularization for arterial wounds. Advanced adjunctives, including negative-pressure therapy and hyperbaric oxygen, are discussed. Emerging regenerative approaches focus on bioactive hydrogels, stem cell-derived exosomes, and nanoparticle integrations, which modulate inflammation, promote angiogenesis, and enhance extracellular matrix remodeling for improved outcomes in chronic and diabetic wounds. These innovations, including stimuli-responsive systems and exosome-laden scaffolds, represent promising cell-free therapies to accelerate repair and minimize scarring.
