 Abstract

The growing involvement of third-party vendors in clinical trials--ranging from labs and imaging providers to ePRO systems and decentralized technologies--has introduced both opportunities and complexities in clinical data management. This review investigates the role of third-party vendor reconciliation, highlighting its impact on data quality, trial timelines, and regulatory compliance. Through analysis of empirical results, workflow models, and best practices, the paper underscores the limitations of manual reconciliation processes and the benefits of adopting AI-driven, standards-based, and automated approaches. It also outlines future directions, including interoperability enhancements, blockchain applications, and global regulatory harmonization. Ultimately, this review presents vendor reconciliation as a strategic component of clinical trial execution that deserves investment, innovation, and institutional prioritization.

 Abstract

Politics is the art of controlling power and managing public affairs, often framing an enemy to unify a group. Democracy has shifted this focus toward ethical governance, recognizing citizens' equality, though it complicates the political process. Politicians frequently apply 'othering' to create distinctions between groups, thus reinforcing social hierarchies and power imbalances. Additionally, clientelism persists in many political systems, facilitating relationships with emerging groups while undermining democratic values. This study explores the interplay of 'othering' and 'clientelism' in state-society relations through various geopolitical case studies.

 Abstract

Due to their moderate labor concentration, micro, small, and medium-sized businesses offer greater options for overhauls per unit of capital. Effective labor force management is necessary in order to offer employment opportunities. Numerous benefits for both the company and human resources would be ensured by the skilled management of human resources under its purview, including steadily rising productivity, preventing accidents, developing sound earnings of guiding principles in effective training of growing morale and profession satisfaction, preventing labor turnover and absenteeism, managing labor indiscipline and effective accusation management, etc. The study aims to investigate the management and effective use of human resources in Micro, Small, and Medium-Sized Enterprises (MSMEs) in India during the country's economic reforms. These reforms allowed for significant changes in the economy's structure, where MSMEs play a significant role. The research will demonstrate human resource management and the dynamics of its development as a crucial strategy in business development by presenting a viewpoint that many economists hold regarding a sense of competitiveness and globalization tendencies. Micro, small, and medium-sized businesses now confront difficulties in their operations, such as the human resources management process, as a result of one such extensive reform. What a step. Nonetheless, it has established a solid foundation for the development of procedures for Macedonia's market economy, which is required for the effective management and use of human resources.

 Abstract

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed the e-commerce sector by enhancing operational efficiency, improving consumer engagement, and enabling data-driven decision-making. In this context, the present study titled *"A Study on Artificial Intelligence Applications in E-Commerce in Karnataka"* examines the role and impact of AI adoption on various aspects of e-commerce performance, with a special focus on consumer perceptions and city-wise differences. The major objective of the study is to analyze how AI applications influence operational efficiency, consumer experience, and sustainability practices in the state's e-commerce sector. The research employed a descriptive methodology, collecting primary data from 250 respondents across five cities in Karnataka (Mysore, Bangalore, Mangalore, Hassan, and Mandya) using a structured questionnaire on a five-point Likert scale. Descriptive statistics, regression analysis, and ANOVA were applied to test the hypotheses. The findings revealed that AI adoption significantly enhances efficiency (? = 0.42, p < 0.000), consumer experience (? = 0.48, p < 0.000), and sustainability (? = 0.21, p = 0.032). Further, ANOVA results indicated notable city-wise differences in adoption and satisfaction, with urban centers reporting higher acceptance and trust. The study concludes that while AI-driven personalization and recommendations strengthen consumer satisfaction, concerns regarding data security remain critical. The research holds importance as it provides actionable insights for businesses and policymakers while highlighting the scope for future research on generative AI and emerging e-commerce models.

 Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education has emerged as a transformative approach to enhance assessment accuracy, efficiency, and student learning outcomes. This study investigates the impact of AI on educational assessments in Karnataka, addressing the growing need to understand its effectiveness, adoption, and associated challenges within local academic institutions. The research aims to examine students' and educators' perceptions of AI-driven assessment tools, identify regional and demographic variations in acceptance, and explore ethical considerations influencing implementation. A descriptive research design was adopted, with primary data collected through a structured questionnaire administered to 150 respondents from Mysore, Bangalore, and Hassan. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and regression analysis to identify trends, differences, and relationships between demographic factors and AI perceptions. The findings indicate that AI significantly improves assessment accuracy, reduces evaluation time, and positively influences learning outcomes, while ethical concerns and regional disparities affect adoption levels. Income and city of residence were found to significantly shape respondents' perceptions, and the null hypothesis of no significant impact of AI was rejected. The study highlights the relevance of AI in contemporary education and provides insights for institutions to implement ethical, context-sensitive, and effective AI-based assessment practices.

 Abstract

Socio-cultural is a term used to define social and cultural factors which signify common traditions, beliefs and habits in a population group. Socio-cultural practices involve various forms, such as worship rites, birth, wedding and funeral rituals, traditional legal systems, etc. Additionally, there is an existence of cultural practices regarding menstruation in Indian society. Menstruation is always associated with myths and taboos, like avoiding entering the temple, not attending religious gatherings, not touching males and plants, and the like. These cultural practices hamper women's mental as well as emotional states. These socio- cultural norms regarding menstruation are more myths and less of facts, and the practices are traditionally growing with society. Women are deprived of various opportunities during menstruation and are not treated equally in society as men. That is why menstruation is unwelcome by a majority of women. Media is the most powerful entity in the world, and it can reach a broader audience through its various types such as Print Media like newspapers and magazines, Electronic Media like Television and radio, and New Media like the internet and social media. Therefore, there is no better alternative than the media to raise awareness regarding menstrual hygiene and break the myths and taboos about menstruation as much as possible. "World Menstrual Hygiene Day" is celebrated every year on 28th May worldwide to raise awareness regarding menstruation and provides safe hygiene practices to wipe out the social stigma and burst the bubble of myths and taboos in society. This paper intends to identify the extent of the roles played by different types of media to create awareness regarding menstruation and female hygiene practices during the menstruation cycle.
