 Abstract

The advent of technology in the world has changed manifold. Today's schools continue to be challenged by the increased visibility, role and cost of educational technology. Considering current trends in education, a modern classroom would not be complete without computers, software, internet connection, projects and variety of other hi-tech devices. Technology is the key to its development. Technologies are essential tools for teaching and learning. To use these tools effectively and efficiently, teachers need to have a vision of its challenging professions in our society where knowledge is expanding rapidly and much of it is available to students as well as teachers at the same time. Modern development of innovative technologies have provided new possibilities to teaching profession, but at the same time have placed more demands on teachers to learn how to use these technologies in their teaching.

 Abstract

Across several recent studies, diffusion models [10] have become leading approaches for generating high-quality synthetic data, especially for complex, limited, or sensitive datasets. These works emphasize the increasing demand for effective data generation and imputation methods in areas such as healthcare, finance, and rare-event detection, where real-world data is often scarce, imbalanced, or constrained by privacy concerns. Diffusion-based frameworks [11][15]--including TabDDPM [17], transformer-based architectures, and privacy-preserving federated diffusion systems [25]--have shown significant advantages over conventional GAN and VAE models [2], providing more stable training, higher-quality sample generation, and better support for mixed-type tabular data. These models are capable of handling tasks such as Rare- event augmentation, missing data imputation. and privacy preservation. Compliant financial data synthesis, and pandemic related medical image generation [8] Surveys and systematic reviews further emphasize diffusion models' growing role in addressing challenges like class imbalance, multimodal feature distributions, missing values, and privacy risks. Overall, the combined body of work shows that diffusion models are reshaping synthetic data generation across modalities--enabling more accurate, fair, and privacy-safe machine learning in situations where data is scarce, sensitive, or difficult to obtain.

 Abstract

Over the last thirty years, the Indian banking landscape has undergone a paradigm shift in service delivery, characterised by an increased strategic emphasis on marketing, branding, and Customer Relationship Management (CRM). As catalysts for economic stability and growth, financial institutions have increasingly leveraged brand-building practices to cultivate a distinct market identity and communicate their Unique Selling Propositions (USPs) within a highly competitive sector. This paper investigates the multidimensionality of customer perception regarding brand-building practices within Kerala's commercial banking sector. By evaluating key determinants, including advertising, customer relationship management (CRM), social media, corporate social responsibility (CSR), internal branding, and promotional incentives, the study examines the effects of socio-demographic variables and organizational attributes. The empirical findings reveals that brand-building initiatives exert a moderate influence on consumer behaviour, CSR emerges as the primary driver of positive perception. Conversely, the marginal impact of social media highlights a strategic gap in leveraging digital platforms for personalised engagement. Furthermore, the data reveal significant variance in customer perception, dictated by the interplay between socio-demographic characteristics and organizational attributes.

Abstract: This study examines the complex difference between financial literacy, behavior finance and financial welfare in the context of emerging economies. While traditional financial education emphasizes the spread of knowledge, this letter examines to what extent behavioral bias convenes relationships between knowledge and real financial results. Using survey data from 80 individuals in diverse demographic background, the research applies statistical analysis to measure financial literacy, identify practical prejudices and assess financial results. The results indicate that while financial literacy is moderately high, prejudices such as overconfidence and mental accounting are prevalent, often reduce rational decision making. However, individuals who combine high financial literacy with low behavioral deformation display better financial results, including more savings, diverse investment and long -term financial planning. The study emphasizes the requirement of integrated financial education approaches that include behavior coaching.

Abstract: Background: The simultaneous occurrence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis (HIAP), and Gram-negative bacteraemia represents an exceptionally rare and clinically challenging constellation in young adults. The triad demands meticulous diagnostic reasoning because each condition can mask or mimic the others. Case Summary: A 25-year-old male with no prior documented diabetes mellitus presented to the emergency department with a three-day history of progressive altered sensorium, breathlessness at rest (MMRC Grade IV), diffuse chest pain, low-grade fever, inability to ambulate, and bowel and bladder incontinence. Investigations confirmed DKA, markedly elevated pancreatic enzymes (serum amylase 597 U/L; serum lipase 235 U/L), bilateral pleural effusions, ascites, and blood culture positivity for Serratia marcescens. A critically depressed C-peptide level (0.14 ng/mL) was consistent with new-onset Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. The patient was managed in the medical intensive care unit (MICU) with aggressive intravenous fluid resuscitation, insulin infusion, electrolyte replacement, and targeted antimicrobial therapy. Conclusion: This case underscores the importance of a broad diagnostic approach in DKA, particularly the measurement of serum triglycerides, lipase, and amylase, as HIAP may perpetuate DKA in a vicious cycle. Concurrent Gram-negative bacteraemia further compounds morbidity and mandates early blood cultures with targeted therapy. Awareness of this triad can significantly alter the management strategy and improve outcomes.

 Abstract

In the twenty-first century, the nature of global engagement has undergone a significant transformation, shifting from traditional power politics to more subtle and persuasive forms of influence rooted in culture, values, and communication. Within this context, cultural diplomacy has emerged as a central component of a nation's soft power strategy. India, characterized by its ancient civilization, cultural diversity, democratic ethos, and rapidly expanding digital ecosystem, possesses a unique advantage in leveraging cultural diplomacy to enhance its global standing. This research paper critically examines how India can reimagine its cultural diplomacy in the digital era, with a particular focus on the role of soft power, global influence, and the Indian diaspora in achieving the national vision of Viksit Bharat @2047. The study is based on a qualitative and analytical research design, relying primarily on secondary sources such as policy documents, government reports, scholarly literature, and global indices on soft power and digital engagement. It explores the conceptual foundations of cultural diplomacy and soft power, tracing their evolution in the Indian context and highlighting the transition from traditional cultural exchanges to digitally mediated forms of engagement. The paper argues that digital technologies--such as social media platforms, virtual cultural exhibitions, and online educational initiatives--have democratized cultural outreach, enabling India to connect with global audiences in more immediate and impactful ways. A key focus of the study is the Indian diaspora, one of the largest in the world, which plays a crucial role as a bridge between India and the international community. The diaspora not only contributes economically through remittances and investments but also acts as an influential cultural ambassador by promoting Indian traditions, values, and narratives across diverse socio-political contexts. In the digital age, diaspora networks have gained even greater significance through their active presence on global communication platforms, thereby amplifying India's cultural voice and soft power projection. The paper further analyzes how India's cultural diplomacy contributes to its global influence by fostering goodwill, strengthening bilateral relations, and enhancing its image as a responsible and culturally rich nation. Initiatives such as the global promotion of yoga, traditional medicine, and Indian arts are examined as examples of successful soft power strategies. However, the study also identifies several challenges, including the lack of a cohesive digital strategy, issues of cultural representation, digital inequality, and increasing competition from other nations investing heavily in cultural diplomacy. In light of these challenges, the paper proposes a set of policy recommendations aimed at strengthening India's cultural diplomacy framework. These include the development of an integrated digital cultural policy, enhanced institutional coordination, strategic engagement with the diaspora, and the adoption of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality for immersive cultural experiences. The study emphasizes the need for a holistic approach that aligns cultural diplomacy with economic, technological, and developmental objectives. In conclusion, the paper asserts that reimagining India's cultural diplomacy in the digital era is essential not only for enhancing its global influence but also for realizing the broader vision of Viksit Bharat @2047. By effectively integrating its cultural heritage with digital innovation and diaspora engagement, India can position itself as a leading global power rooted in soft influence and cultural connectivity.

 Abstract

Agricultural systems worldwide are currently challenged by soil deterioration, climate variability, overuse of chemical inputs, and stagnating crop yields. These concerns have encouraged the exploration of sustainable and environmentally responsible farming practices. Agro homeopathy has emerged as an alternative approach that adapts homeopathic principles to plant cultivation and soil management. This approach employs ultra-diluted natural substances to enhance plant vitality, improve resistance against diseases, and increase productivity without causing ecological harm. The present review examines the concept, underlying principles, proposed mechanisms, and agricultural applications of agro homeopathy. Available experimental findings suggest that such preparations may influence seed germination, root growth, nutrient utilization, stress adaptation, and overall crop performance. Agro homeopathy is also considered economical and compatible with organic farming systems. Despite its potential, the approach requires stronger scientific validation through controlled studies and standardized methodologies. With further research, agro homeopathy may contribute to sustainable agricultural practices aimed at improving productivity while maintaining environmental balance.

 Abstract

The Self-Help Group (SHG) movement has been a cornerstone of financial inclusion and women's empowerment in India. In Karnataka, the digitization of SHGs through NABARD's e-Shakti Project has significantly transformed SHG governance, credit delivery, and transparency. This paper examines the role of digitization in strengthening SHGs in Karnataka, focusing on financial inclusion, SHG-bank linkage, operational efficiency, and women's socio-economic empowerment. Using secondary data from NABARD reports, academic studies, and evaluation papers, the study finds that digitization has improved credit appraisal, reduced transaction costs, enhanced transparency, and facilitated evidence-based policy making. However, challenges such as digital illiteracy and infrastructural gaps persist. The study concludes that digitization is a critical enabler for sustainable SHG development in Karnataka.
