 Abstract

This study explores the concept of Gati Bhedam (variations in rhythmic subdivisions) in South Indian classical music, emphasizing its historical evolution, theoretical foundations, and practical applications. It outlines the significance of rhythm (Tala) as a core element of music, tracing its origins to mythological narratives and ancient treatises. The paper examines the Sapta Talas (seven primary Talas) and their structure, highlighting how different Gati (subdivisions) - Tisra, Chatusra, Khanda, Misra, and Sankeerna - expand the 35 traditional Talas into 175 variations. Clear distinctions between Gati and Nadai are established, underscoring their unique roles in maintaining rhythmic integrity while allowing artistic flexibility. Practical examples of Korvais (rhythmic patterns) in different Gatis are provided to illustrate these concepts. The study concludes by affirming the enduring relevance of Gati Bhedam in modern musical performance and its capacity to enrich the listener's experience through dynamic rhythmic diversity.

 Abstract

Herbal products include a range of self-prescribed plant-based preparations that fall under the main categories of food, cosmetics, nutritional supplements, and herbal medicines. The classification of herbal products is still within national jurisdiction and is not in line with global or EU standards. Herbal products are widely accessible not only through pharmacies but also through marketplaces and mail order Using medicinal plants to treat ailments is arguably the oldest practice. As a result, phytotherapy has been included into all traditional medical systems, frequently serving as the primary healthcare provider in low- and middle-income nations. In wealthy nations, the use of herbal products has grown in recent decades. The low quality of herbal products may cause negative reactions due to a lack of regulation and unrestricted distribution channels, including online sales. The most frequent causes include using products tainted with potentially dangerous substances like heavy metals, radioactive particles, microbial metabolites (like mycotoxins), agrochemical residues, adulteration of herbal products with unreported powerful pharmaceutical substances, substitution or misidentification with toxic plant species, improper dosing, and interactions with conventional medications. Numerous pollutants, including metals and radionuclides, are found naturally in the atmosphere and ground. Some result from the usage of substances that damage the environment and subsequently medicinal plants, such as persistent chemical residues or emissions from factories. Even organically grown herbs may include pollutants from environmental sources due to their excessive use and disposal. Throughout history, medicinal plants have been used for therapeutic purposes all across the world, and they continue to play a significant role in conventional medicine. Despite having differing theoretical and cultural foundations, all traditional medical systems--whether Ayurvedic, Chinese, Unani, Tibetan, Amazonian, or African--incorporate phytotherapy into their philosophies.

 Abstract

Jharkhand has tremendous potential for mining tourism because of its wealth of minerals and rich cultural heritage. However, to establish the state as a top experiential tourist destination, innovative marketing strategies are needed to capitalize on this distinctive expertise. This paper's examination of modern methods of improving mining tourism in Jharkhand highlights the integration of storytelling, digital marketing, and interaction with the community. Rebranding mining sites as historical, educational, and recreational destinations is the first phase in the procedure. Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) experiences can be introduced to tell the narrative of the growth of mining in the area by merging technology with history. Authenticity and an emotional bond might be provided through the development of interactive museums, guided tours, and cultural events that highlight the life of miners and communities nearby. Digital platforms are vital for marketing. Addressing specific groups of people can be performed through influencer partnerships, content marketing that emphasizes immersive experiences, and customized social media campaigns. Partnerships with Internet booking services and travel agencies enhance visibility even further. Another pillar is tourism, which is promoted by the community. Involving local people in tourism-related activities encourages sustainable development and gives visitors an authentic experience. Travelers who care about the environment also respond to initiatives that promote sustainability, such as converting abandoned mines into adventure parks or eco-tourism destinations. By implementing these innovative strategies, Jharkhand might boost economic growth and protect its natural and cultural resources while turning its mining heritage into a flourishing tourism offering. A sustainable future for mining tourism in the area is the goal that this study aims to motivate stakeholders to think about.

 Abstract

The extensive prevalence of social websites like YouTube has resulted in escalating cyberbullying and the ex- change of offensive information in user-added comments. Content moderation is an arduous and inefficient undertaking at scale, requiring automated platforms for monitoring. This paper illus- trates an AI system intended to filter and block cyberbullying online in real-time by monitoring comments on YouTube based on Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). The system makes use of the YouTube Data API to retrieve user comments in real time. Every comment is NLP-preprocessed with tokenization, stop-word filtering, and word embedding methods to prepare data for analysis. Objectionable content is identified through a combination of rule-based keyword matching using a pre-defined list of objectionable words and sentiment classification using a trained DNN model. The DNN model is trained to recognize the emotional tone and intent of user comments so that the system can mark not just overtly offensive language but also contextually offensive content. A warning system is implemented where a user is warned every time offensive content is detected. When the user gets three warnings, the system mimics an automatic blocking operation. Also, a web-based dashboard is created for administrators to track live comments, see flagged users, and monitor the number of warnings or blocks done. Experimental assessment demonstrates that the combined application of rule-based filtering and deep learning improves the accuracy and resilience of cyberbullying detection. The proposed framework can be extended to multiple social media sites and used for multilingual comment analysis. The system proposed is helpful in developing intelligent, scalable, and real-time moder- ation systems for safer online communication environments.

 Abstract

The increasing demand for natural remedies and the rising concerns over the side effects of synthetic pharmaceutical products have prompted a renewed interest in herbal medicine. Colocasia esculenta, commonly known as taro, is a versatile plant that has been traditionally used in various cultures for its culinary and medicinal properties. This project explores the antimicrobial potential of Colocasia esculenta and its application in the preparation of a herbal cream aimed at treating common skin infections and promoting wound healing. Taro is rich in bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and alkaloids, which are responsible for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. This research project outlines the preparation of an antimicrobial herbal cream using Colocasia esculenta. The plant's active compounds were extracted through a simple yet effective method, and the resulting extract was incorporated into an cream base consisting of natural ingredients like beeswax, coconut oil, and optional essential oils for enhanced antimicrobial effects. The cream developed in this project aims to treat a range of skin conditions, including cuts, rashes, acne, and fungal infections, by leveraging the plant's inherent healing properties. The preparation process involves extracting the active compounds from the Colocasia esculenta tuber, mixing them with suitable carrier oils and emulsifiers, and then allowing the mixture to cool and solidify into a spreadable cream. This method ensures that the plant's healing properties are preserved and can be effectively applied to the skin. The cream is designed to provide a natural alternative to commercial products, offering a holistic and chemical-free solution to common dermatological issues. The antimicrobial properties of Colocasia esculenta have been demonstrated through its ability to inhibit the growth of various bacterial and fungal pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans. These pathogens are commonly associated with skin infections and can cause significant discomfort and complications if not treated effectively. The cream, therefore, offers a dual benefit: it helps prevent infections while also promoting faster healing of wounds by reducing inflammation and providing a protective barrier against harmful microorganisms. In conclusion, the development of an antimicrobial herbal cream containing Colocasia esculenta is not only an exploration of traditional healing practices but also a practical application of plant-based medicine in the modern world. The project showcases the antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and healing properties of Colocasia esculenta, demonstrating its potential as a valuable ingredient in the formulation of effective, natural skin care products. The results suggest that Colocasia esculenta can serve as an alternative to commercial antimicrobial creams, offering a safe, eco-friendly, and sustainable option for treating common skin ailments and promoting overall skin health.
