 Abstract

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) rapidly transforms software engineering, yet existing research remains fragmented across individual tasks in the Software Development Lifecycle. This study integrates a systematic literature review with a survey of 65 software developers. The results show that GenAI exerts its highest impact in design, implementation, testing, and documentation, where over 70 % of developers report at least halving the time for boilerplate and documentation tasks. 79 % of survey respondents use GenAI daily, preferring browser-based Large Language Models over alternatives integrated directly in their development environment. Governance is maturing, with two-thirds of organizations maintaining formal or informal guidelines. In contrast, early SDLC phases such as planning and requirements analysis show markedly lower reported benefits. In a nutshell, GenAI shifts value creation from routine coding toward specification quality, architectural reasoning, and oversight, while risks such as uncritical adoption, skill erosion, and technical debt require robust governance and human-in-the-loop mechanisms.

 Abstract

The Hindustani classical violin has developed through sustained interaction with both vocal and instrumental traditions. Among the approaches that have shaped its performance practice, Gayak? A?g and Tantrak?r? A?g represent two distinctive yet interconnected orientations. The present study comparatively examines these approaches in terms of their aesthetic foundations, technical characteristics, performance practices, and contributions to the evolving identity of the Hindustani classical violin. The study adopts a qualitative and comparative approach, drawing upon relevant scholarly literature and examining the stylistic principles associated with vocal-oriented and instrumental-oriented violin performance. Particular attention is given to melodic treatment, bowing and fingering techniques, ornamentation, rhythmic organization, repertoire, and performance structure. The analysis demonstrates that Gayak? A?g emphasizes vocal-like melodic continuity, expressive intonation, swar-lag?v, ornamentation, and the communication of r?ga-bh?va, whereas Tantrak?r? A?g foregrounds instrumental articulation, rhythmic development, technical dexterity, layak?r?, and instrumental autonomy. The study further finds that these approaches are not rigidly separate or mutually exclusive; rather, they function as complementary orientations within a continuum of musical expression. Their interaction has enabled violinists to negotiate between vocal expressiveness and instrumental independence, contributing to a distinctive Hindustani violin tradition. The study therefore argues that the evolving identity of the Hindustani classical violin is best understood through the dynamic synthesis of Gayak? A?g and Tantrak?r? A?g, in which expressive depth, technical versatility, and individual artistic identity coexist.

 Abstract

Intellectual property rights (IPRs) have become valued inheritable assets that can create wealth and preserve cultural, scientific, and artistic legacies for future generations due to their increasing economic relevance. IPR inheritance, however, presents difficult socio-legal issues pertaining to striking a balance between private proprietary rights, public knowledge access, innovation, and the intergenerational justice principle. While intellectual property regimes are based on time-bound monopolies meant to promote invention while ultimately enriching the public domain, succession rules make it easier for proprietary rights to be transferred upon the death of the owner. This article critically investigates whether these conflicting goals are sufficiently balanced by the current legal framework governing the inheritance of copyrights, patents, trademarks, and associated intellectual property. In order to assess the consequences of inherited intellectual assets for future generations, the study examines the relationship between intellectual property law, succession law, constitutional values, and international legal principles using a socio-legal and comparative methodology. It also looks at new issues related to digital intellectual property, works created by AI, and changing business models that are influencing the ownership and transfer of intangible assets. The essay makes the case that in order to protect the legitimate interests of creators and their heirs while making sure that inherited intellectual property does not unnecessarily obstruct innovation, competition, or fair access to knowledge, a balanced legal framework is necessary. It ends by promoting legislative changes that include the idea of intergenerational equality into the management of intellectual property inheritance.

 Abstract

Cancer remains a foremost cause of death worldwide. Skin is the largest organ in the human body. Skin cancer is one of the most widespread and rigorous types of cancer. Earlier detection is vital for civilizing survival rates especially for melanoma, one of the deadliest types of skin cancer. In the modern scenario, the main aim is for the development of computer aided diagnosis in dermoscopic images. This paper reviews and presents the algorithms used in automatic detection in dermoscopic images using artificial intelligence. The critical need for an automated system is to reduce the effort and time in diagnosis process. Artificial Intelligence in medical diagnosis helps identify the disease from images or data more quickly and accurately.

 Abstract

Human trafficking is one of the most serious forms of organised crime and a major violation of human rights. It involves the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons through force, coercion, abduction, fraud, deception, abuse of power or inducement for the purpose of exploitation. In India, human trafficking affects women, children and vulnerable sections of society, particularly those facing poverty, unemployment, social exclusion, lack of education and unsafe migration. Victims may be exploited for commercial sexual exploitation, forced labour, domestic servitude, begging, forced marriage and other forms of exploitation. The Government of India has adopted constitutional, legislative, administrative and welfare measures to prevent trafficking, prosecute traffickers and rehabilitate survivors. Important measures include Article 23 of the Constitution, the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956, the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012, the Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act, 1976, Anti-Human Trafficking Units, the Ujjawala scheme, Mission Shakti and Shakti Sadan. The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, which came into force on 1 July 2024, contains a specific provision on trafficking of persons under Section 143. Despite these measures, challenges remain in identification, investigation, prosecution, inter-state coordination, victim rehabilitation and prevention. This article examines the nature and causes of human trafficking in India, its consequences, major government measures and suggestions for strengthening the response.

 Abstract

Sustainable development is a comprehensive and multidimensional concept that brings together economic progress, social justice, and environmental sustainability. The United Nations 2023 Agenda for Sustainable Development outlines 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) designed to tackle pressing global concerns such as poverty, hunger, gender inequality, health challenges, and climate change. At its core, sustainable development focuses on fulfilling present needs while safeguarding the ability of future generations to meet their own requirements. Achieving sustainability at the community level demands integrated strategies that promote economic self-reliance, environmental conversation, improved health and education, and social inclusion. Home Science, as an interdisciplinary subject, integrates areas such as nutrition, human development, textiles and clothing, resource management, and extension and communication. It addresses various dimensions of individual, family, and community life. Home Science contributes significantly to sustainable development by equipping communities with essential knowledge, life skills, and practical competencies that enhance health, nutrition, family welfare, and overall quality of life--especially for women and marginalized populations. This paper explores how Home Science supports sustainable livelihoods, encourages responsible environmental practices, strengthens gender equity, and enhances health security within communities. Adopting a descriptive and analytical research approach grounded in secondary sources and case-based analysis, the study highlights the major areas through which Home Science supports the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By combining scientific understanding with local knowledge and community practices, Home Science serves as an effective driver of change at the grassroots level. In the contemporary context, Home Science is recognized as a comprehensive and versatile field of study that addresses individual needs and interests while building the skills and capacities required for effective homemaking in a rapidly changing society.

 Abstract

आधुनिक जीवन की तीव्र गति, प्रतिस्पर्धा, आर्थिक दबाव, पारिवारिक उत्तरदायित्व, सामाजिक अपेक्षाएँ तथा तकनीकी जीवनशैली ने तनाव को मानव जीवन की एक सामान्य किंतु गंभीर समस्या बना दिया है। तनाव केवल व्यक्ति की मानसिक अवस्था को प्रभावित नहीं करता, बल्कि उसके शारीरिक स्वास्थ्य, भावनात्मक संतुलन, सामाजिक व्यवहार और आध्यात्मिक जीवन पर भी प्रभाव डालता है। तनाव से मुक्ति के लिए चिकित्सा, मनोवैज्ञानिक परामर्श, योग, ध्यान, व्यायाम और जीवनशैली में परिवर्तन जैसी अनेक विधियों का प्रयोग किया जाता है। इसी संदर्भ में धार्मिक संगीत एक प्रभावशाली, सहज और सांस्कृतिक रूप से स्वीकार्य माध्यम के रूप में सामने आता है। धार्मिक संगीत का संबंध केवल मनोरंजन से नहीं है, बल्कि यह मनुष्य के विश्वास, आस्था, सामूहिक चेतना और आध्यात्मिक अनुभव से जुड़ा हुआ है। भजन, कीर्तन, शबद-गायन, सूफी संगीत, मंत्रोच्चार, प्रार्थना-संगीत तथा अन्य धार्मिक संगीत परंपराएँ व्यक्ति के मन में शांति, आशा, विश्वास और सकारात्मकता उत्पन्न करने में सहायक हो सकती हैं। संगीत की लय, स्वर, गति, पुनरावृत्ति और सामूहिक गायन जैसी विशेषताएँ व्यक्ति की मानसिक उत्तेजना को कम करने तथा भावनात्मक संतुलन स्थापित करने में भूमिका निभा सकती हैं। प्रस्तुत शोध-पत्र में धार्मिक संगीत और तनाव मुक्ति के पारस्परिक संबंध का मनोवैज्ञानिक, सामाजिक, शारीरिक तथा आध्यात्मिक दृष्टिकोण से विश्लेषण किया गया है। इसमें यह समझने का प्रयास किया गया है कि धार्मिक संगीत किस प्रकार तनावग्रस्त व्यक्ति के भीतर शांति, आशावाद, भावनात्मक अभिव्यक्ति और आत्मिक स्थिरता का विकास कर सकता है। साथ ही, धार्मिक संगीत की विभिन्न परंपराओं तथा आधुनिक जीवन में इसकी उपयोगिता पर भी विचार किया गया है। अध्ययन से यह निष्कर्ष सामने आता है कि धार्मिक संगीत को तनाव प्रबंधन की सहायक विधि के रूप में उपयोग किया जा सकता है, यद्यपि गंभीर मानसिक या शारीरिक समस्याओं की स्थिति में चिकित्सकीय एवं मनोवैज्ञानिक सहायता का विकल्प नहीं माना जाना चाहिए।
