With an emphasis on how these technologies improve engagement, lessen cognitive overload, and promote learner well-being, this study investigates the idea of free of stress learning in virtual reality (VR) and immersive settings. Because of their inflexible architecture and passive learning styles, traditional educational techniques frequently cause stress. Immersion VR environments, on the other hand, provide individualized, experienced, and interactive learning that suits each learner's tastes and speed.

 Abstract

Water is a vital natural resource essential for sustaining life and ecological balance on Earth. Lentic ecosystems, including lakes, ponds, and reservoirs, represent key freshwater habitats that support biodiversity, human livelihoods, and ecological processes. However, these systems are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic activities such as industrial discharge, agricultural runoff, and urban wastewater, which deteriorate the physicochemical quality of water. Changes in temperature, dissolved oxygen, nutrient levels, and other parameters directly affect aquatic organisms and ecosystem health, often leading to eutrophication and habitat degradation. In India, lentic water bodies span diverse climatic and geographic regions, from Himalayan high-altitude lakes to tropical lowland ponds, each exhibiting unique physicochemical characteristics. Understanding these parameters is essential for effective water quality assessment, ecosystem management, and conservation planning. This review aims to synthesize research findings on the physicochemical properties of various Indian lentic ecosystems, highlighting the environmental challenges and the need for sustainable freshwater resource management.

 Abstract

The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of an information booklet on knowledge regarding venous thromboembolism (VTE) and its management among staff nurses at a selected hospital in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. A quantitative pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design was adopted, involving 60 staff nurses selected through non-probability purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured knowledge questionnaire administered before and after the distribution of an information booklet. The mean pre-test knowledge score was 10.3, which increased to 19.37 in the post-test, indicating a statistically significant improvement. The findings demonstrate that the information booklet was effective in enhancing the knowledge of staff nurses regarding VTE and its management. Therefore, structured educational tools like information booklets can be valuable in improving clinical awareness and nursing practices.

 Abstract

The rapid expansion of the construction industry in developing nations like India has been significantly driven by the influx of migrant workers. These workers, often moving from rural or economically backward regions, play a vital role in shaping urban landscapes by contributing their labor to residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. Migrant labor forms a substantial portion of the workforce in the construction sector, which is one of the largest employment generators in the country. However, this reliance brings forth several challenges and impacts that affect not only the execution of construction projects but also the broader labor market and industry development. Migrant workers influence construction timelines, labor costs, and the quality of work. Their seasonal migration patterns can lead to labor shortages or surpluses, impacting project continuity and productivity. In the labor market, migration alters wage structures, creates informal employment conditions, and often results in the exploitation of unskilled labor. Furthermore, the development of the construction industry is deeply tied to the availability and management of this mobile workforce. Issues such as lack of social security, inadequate housing, poor working conditions, and limited access to healthcare and education for migrants pose challenges for inclusive and sustainable industry growth. This paper provides a focused overview of the impact of migrant workers on various facets of the construction sector. It highlights key trends, challenges, and opportunities while incorporating real-life case studies like the Delhi Metro and Mumbai's labor housing policies to understand the ground-level realities. The paper aims to inform planners, policymakers, and stakeholders about the need for structured labor management, improved living conditions, and reforms that ensure long- term industry resilience and equitable growth.

 Abstract

Rapid urbanization has dramatically increased vehicle usage and accidents in cities across India, especially in urbanizing regions like Visakhapatnam. The absence of comprehensive safety assessments and infrastructure development has resulted in many locations that are susceptible to accidents. This study aims to develop a practical procedure for performing RSAs on urban roads, taking Visakhapatnam as a case study. The methodology consists of choosing primary urban corridors with the highest number of accidents, severity indices, and traffic volume from the dataset from 2020 to 2023. A comprehensive four-stage RSA process was implemented, indicating that these five zones were classified as high-risk zones with calculated hazard indices ranging from 3.2 to 7.8. Following the audit-focused interventions of adding better signs, designated pedestrian crossing areas, median barriers, and improvement of road surfaces in two pilot zones, post-analysis results indicated a 28.7% reduction in accidents and a 35.4% decline in severity-weighted measures of accidents. Regression-based predictive analysis confirmed the outcomes with 91.2% accuracy in comparison to historical accident data. The results confirmed that urban-focused RSAs improve road safety significantly. The suggested. The proposed model for Visakhapatnam offers a scalable and replicable framework for other Indian cities aiming to integrate safety audits into urban transportation planning and design processes.
