  • Eigenvalue Based Local Stability Analysis of Nonlinear Caputo Type Fractional Systems and the Effects of Fractional Order and System Parameters”
    Vol. 3 No. issue 2, April,2026 ,page 2240-2261 (2026)

    Abstract:

    The location of a Jacobian spectrum relative to a fractional stability sector determines whether linearisation can certify local asymptotic stability of a commensurate nonlinear Caputo system. A binary classification, however, gives little indication of how close the model lies to losing that certificate. This paper develops an explicit angular margin and a complementary matrix-perturbation margin for systems of order between zero and one. The known strict-sector stability theorem is used as the analytical foundation. A two-dimensional nonlinear family with Jacobian eigenvalues μ ± iω gives a closed-form critical fractional order and exact parameter sensitivities. A second family with a triangular, nonnormal Jacobian shows why unchanged eigenvalues do not guarantee small finite-time amplification. A disk-distance calculation then translates a diagonalizable matrix perturbation bound into a sufficient certificate for persistence of the strict sector condition. All numerical values are calculated from stated formulas rather than fitted to trajectories. The contribution is a transparent reporting framework that distinguishes order sensitivity, parameter sensitivity and eigenvector conditioning. The paper does not infer nonlinear bifurcations or global attraction solely from an eigenvalue crossing.

    Keywords: nonlinear fractional system; Jacobian spectrum; local stability; fractional order; angular margin; nonnormal matrix; perturbation certificate.

  • Exploring-Nonlinear Associations Between Urinary Iodine Concentration and Thyroid Dysfunction: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of Exposure Ranges and Within-Sample Odds
    Vol. 3 No. issue2,April2026,pg2224-2239 (2026)

    Abstract:

    Background: Both limited and high iodine exposure may be relevant to thyroid health, but this biological possibility does not establish the shape of an association in a particular adult sample. Categorising urinary iodine concentration (UIC) alone can obscure variation within ranges, while imposing a quadratic model may produce an apparent U-shaped relationship that is poorly supported by the observations.

    Objective: To specify a cross-sectional analysis of UIC ranges and adjusted odds of thyroid dysfunction, allowing the exposure–outcome relationship to be nonlinear without assuming a U-shaped pattern in advance.

    Methods: An analytical study is proposed among consenting nonpregnant adults with paired urine and serum measurements and documented demographic, dietary and clinical information. Current functional status will be established using thyroid-stimulating hormone, free thyroxine, free triiodothyronine and clinical review. UIC will be examined primarily as a continuous exposure using a parsimonious restricted cubic spline within logistic regression. Prespecified concentration ranges will support secondary descriptive comparisons. Overall association and departure from linearity will be tested separately. Adjusted odds-ratio curves will be reported with confidence intervals, exposure distributions and explicit information about sparse regions. Treatment, sampling by disease group, urine dilution and missing observations will receive prespecified consideration.

    Results status: No participant dataset has been supplied. This paper therefore presents the study rationale, analytical framework and reporting requirements; it does not report observed group counts, odds ratios, P values or a fitted exposure–outcome curve.

    Conclusion: Flexible analysis can determine whether the available observations are compatible with a linear, nonlinear or uncertain relationship. Within-sample odds do not establish incidence, causal effects or an optimal individual iodine target. Any conclusion about shape must consider precision, sampling, treatment and support across the exposure range.

    Keywords: urinary iodine concentration; thyroid dysfunction; restricted cubic splines; nonlinear association; adjusted odds ratio; cross-sectional study; iodine exposure

  • Explainable AI Assisted Smart Contract Auditing for Administrative Workflows
    Vol. 3 No. issue2,April2026 ,pg2208-2223 (2026)

    Abstract

    Smart contracts can encode administrative approvals, payments and record transitions, yet a valid transaction may still breach an institution’s intended procedure. This exploratory paper proposes an explainable AI-assisted auditing framework that separates vulnerability detection, explanation, repair generation and independent repair verification. A focused review of primary research and official documentation informs a workflow specification, threat model and reproducible evaluation protocol. Static analysis and transaction-oriented testing supply program evidence, while AI helps relate code to approved administrative requirements. Explanations identify the affected rule, source statements, state conditions and supporting evidence. Candidate repairs are assessed against frozen specifications, protected regression tests and applicable formal properties. An illustrative payment case shows why preventing a prohibited action is insufficient when the same change blocks legitimate activity. The proposed evaluation compares conventional auditing, AI assistance, evidence-linked explanations and independent verification under matched budgets. Detection accuracy, explanation fidelity, repair acceptance, workflow preservation and cost are measured separately. The contribution is a requirements-centred design and evaluation protocol; no prototype results or institutional field observations are claimed.

  • Analytical Quality by Design Based Development of a Stability Indicating RP HPLC Method for Metformin Hydrochloride and Dapagliflozin in Combined Tablets
    Vol. 3 No. Issue2,April,2026,pg,2176-2191 (2026)

    A stability-indicating assay must measure each active ingredient without interference from excipients, impurities, or degradation products. This study presents an Analytical Quality by Design approach to the development of a reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic procedure for the simultaneous determination of metformin hydrochloride and dapagliflozin in combined tablets. The analytical purpose was translated into an Analytical Target Profile covering selectivity, accuracy, precision, working range, runtime, and suitability for routine use. Prior knowledge and risk assessment identified buffer pH, initial organic proportion, gradient time, stationary-phase chemistry, flow rate, and column temperature as variables requiring focused study. Preliminary experiments compared C8 and C18 phases, methanol and acetonitrile, isocratic and gradient elution, buffer conditions, and diluent composition. The most suitable preliminary condition used a C18 column with a phosphate-buffer-acetonitrile gradient. The proposed operating point comprised a 150 × 4.6 mm, 3.5 µm C18 column maintained at 30 °C; 20 mM phosphate buffer at pH 3.20; acetonitrile as organic modifier; flow rate of 1.0 mL/min; detection at 225 nm; and a 10 µL injection. In the illustrative development dataset, metformin and dapagliflozin eluted at approximately 2.35 and 6.10 min, the critical-pair resolution was 2.31, and the cycle time was 10.5 min. The work shows how the AQbD framework can connect experimental observations with a preliminary control strategy. Because the numerical results in the source record are illustrative, authenticated chromatograms and laboratory records remain necessary before publication or regulatory use.

  • Safety, Storage Stability and Translational Potential of Dissolving Polymeric Microneedle Patches for Antidiabetic Therapy
    Vol. 3 No. issue 1,March 2026, page 2159-2175 (2026)

    Dissolving polymeric microneedle patches are being investigated as minimally invasive systems for delivering insulin and other antidiabetic agents across the skin. Their clinical appeal arises from the possibility of avoiding gastrointestinal degradation, reducing dependence on conventional needles and supporting self-administration. However, successful insertion and short-term drug release are only the beginning of product development. A clinically credible patch must demonstrate local and systemic safety, retain mechanical and pharmaceutical quality throughout storage, deliver a reproducible dose under realistic conditions of use and be manufacturable within a defensible regulatory control strategy. This narrative review integrates evidence concerning polymer biocompatibility, insertion-associated skin responses, barrier recovery, sterility and microbial risk, moisture-dependent mechanical behaviour, protein and small-molecule stability, protective packaging, scale-up, human factors and combination-product regulation.

     The available evidence supports the translational promise of dissolving microneedles, particularly for potent antidiabetic agents requiring small doses, but also reveals persistent gaps in long-term stability, repeated-use safety, dose-delivery verification, manufacturing capability and clinical comparability. Progress toward routine therapy will depend on standardized performance tests, representative stability programmes, well-designed human-factor studies and early dialogue between formulation, device, clinical and regulatory teams.

  • An Analysis of Legal Challenges in Health Insurance Claims in India: Examining Consumer Rights, Regulatory Protection, and Insurer Accountability
    Vol. 3 No. issue 1, March, 2026, page 2143-2158 (2026)

    The aim of this research is to evaluate legal challenges linked to health insurance claims in India which specific focus on regulatory protection, insurance accountability and consumer rights.  The study will contribute to understanding if existing regulatory and legal mechanisms protect policyholders against delays, unfair detection, as well as partial settlement of claims.  According to IRDAI's policyholder-protection framework, policyholders are required to approach the insurer's grievance mechanism as well as offer access to IRDAI's grievance-redressal system in case of unresolved conflict. In this study, secondary data has been used. Data in the form of interviews, questionnaires, surveys and the like has not been used. The legal sources have included Indian law, IRDAI rules and circulars, Insurance Ombudsman guidelines, judicial decisions and consumer forum decisions. The interpretation of these provisions becomes contentious if policyholders believe that insurers have applied a situation which cannot be understood while purchasing the policy. Judicial decisions illustrate that insurers cannot depend only on technical interpretations where the situation highlights unreasonable claim handling, failure to comply with regulatory and contractual obligations, as well as inadequate disclosure.

  • WOMEN’S COPARCENARY RIGHTS UNDER THE HINDU SUCCESSION (AMENDMENT) ACT, 2005: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF JUDICIAL INTERPRETATION
    Vol. 3 No. issue 1,March, page 2125-2142 (2026)

    A major amendment in the authorization of Hindu women came with The Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005 which provided that a daughter in a family under the Hindu Mitakshara system of co-parceners would be given rights on property equivalent to her brothers. Prior to the amendment there was a lack of women's participation in coparcenary property and no participation in the traditional structure of coparcenary based on the birth. This work focuses on one aspect which is critical to the development and judicial interpretation of women's coparcenary rights after the Amendments in 2005. The objective of this study is to analyse the amendments made by the Amendment, what it means for the daughters and how the courts have interpreted the concepts of coparcenary, the major problems arising in relation to retrospective operation of the law and how well the judicial positivism is achieving gender equalisation in relation to property rights. The research design used is a qualitative research design and secondary legal and academic materials are used. Statutory provisions, judicial decisions, legal commentaries and opportunities for debate as raised in the literature are analysed thematically. The results have shown that the interpretation by the judges has played a key role in clarifying the scope and use of the amended law. Prior judgments left unclear whether the fathers had to be alive on the date of the Amendment, but eventually, courts gave in to the new interpretation of a more gender-equal one. The study finds that the Amendment is a crucial step in women's rights to property, especially following judicial interpretation. But social practices and family conflicts and their awareness remain relevant to realising such rights.

     

  • THE IMPACT OF DECLINING TRADE UNION MEMBERSHIP ON COLLECTIVE BARGAINING IN MODERN WORKPLACES
    Vol. 3 No. issue1, March 2026 , pg, 2107-2124 (2026)

    Abstract

    In modern employment practices trade unions were always important in providing protection to the employee and improving collective bargaining between workers and employers. But the decrease in union membership has worried about a lack of bargaining power, representation and influence on employment conditions amongst workers. The research here notes that as workers' participation in unions decreases, collective bargaining in the modern workplace becomes weakened. The purpose of the study is to discuss the link between the union number of membership and the effectiveness of collective bargaining; to identify some of the factors that are behind a reduction in union membership; to understand the impact of the loss of membership on the bargaining power of employees and workplace representation; and to consider what can be done to make collective bargaining more effective. A secondary data analysis qualitative research design is used. Thematic analysis was used for the examination of relevant academic literature, labour relations research, institutional reports, policy materials and current research. The results reveal that decreased membership can also lead to a decrease in collective bargaining coverage, in employee bargaining power, and in the ability of labour unions to force changes in wages, working conditions, and job security. Other elements of the study that are mentioned are the transformation in employment structures, the changing nature of technology, platform-based and temporary employment and the workplace fragmentation and expectations of the employees. The conclusion, however, from the findings suggests that if the membership decreases, so does the need for collective representation.

  • Strategic Talent Management and Employee Retention: Examining the Role of Career Development and Organisational Support
    Vol. 2 No. issue12,feb2026,pg 2080-2095 (2026)

    Abstract

    The research looks at the role of strategic talent management in employee retention in terms of career development and perceived organisational support. Secondary research with peer-reviewed studies published after 2021 was conducted through a structured review of talent management practice, career development opportunities, and organisational support. The results show that retention is enhanced by recruitment, learning, performance management, recognition, and progression done in a fair and consistent manner. Career development enhances participation and dedication but could promote external mobility where there is limited progress. Organisational support minimises turnover intention by enhancing perceived value, wellbeing and trust. Sustainable retention is hence based on an organisation setting organisational priorities with employee growth, fairness, and management support.

    Keywords: Strategic talent management, employee retention, career development, perceived organisational support, turnover intention.

  • DIGITAL SOCIAL ISOLATION AND THE CHANGING NATURE OF INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS AMONG YOUNG ADULTS
    Vol. 2 No. ,issue12,feb 2026, pg 2062-2079 (2026)

    Digital technologies have revolutionized how young adults communicate with each other, and they offer more opportunities to interact with others online but also may diminish the importance of in-person communication. The aim of this research is to examine the link between digital interaction, social isolation and transforming interpersonal relations in young adults. Thematic analysis was used to look at key themes and identify major patterns, using an exploratory research design and secondary qualitative research methods, where academic databases and published sources were used. The results highlight five main themes: high exposure to virtual social media networks increases social isolation; social media communication is rather passive and is used to handle information that is already prepared; algorithms curate content, meaning there is a diminished opportunity for social interaction; social roles and economic pressures increase feelings of social isolation; social interaction through active and reciprocal communication can improve relationships. The research findings suggest that with more digital connectivity, there can be more loneliness and less meaningful interpersonal connection. To foster healthier interpersonal relationships in digitally mediated settings, active communication, mutual attention, and frequent face-to-face interaction are, therefore, crucial.

  • Influence of Social Media Comparison on Self-Esteem, Body Image, Satisfaction, and Psychological Well-Being among Young Adults
    Vol. 2 No. issue 12,feb 2026,pg 2043-2061 (2026)

    This study explores how social media comparison relates to the self-esteem, body image satisfaction and psychological well-being of young adults. Evidence was systemically reviewed using a secondary qualitative research design from the peer-reviewed literature, meta-analysis, experimental studies, and authoritative sources mainly published since 2018. Five themes were synthesized across the themes: upward social comparison, idealised appearance and body dissatisfaction, psychological distress, platform and gender-related vulnerabilities, and the possibility for positive effects of body-positive content and digital resilience. Results suggest that comparing one to idealized versions on social media is linked to lower self-esteem, body image satisfaction, and mental health. There is also some evidence of a moderate correlation between online social comparison and body image concerns, and a potentially more positive effect when people compare downward and/or engage with supportive body-positive communities. The study underscores the need to foster digital-media literacy, redesign the platforms to be healthier, create positive online communities, and implement resilience-based interventions to help young adults have healthier psychological reactions.

    Vol. 2 No. volume 2, issue 12, Feb, pg2027-2042 (2026)

    Generative AI has revolutionized the results of alliteration in higher education industry. These instruments are, nowadays, flag bearers of instant information development and personalised assistance. This study investigates the double impact of Generative AI on the learning engagement and critical thinking of high education students. Utilising secondary sources and thematic exploration, this study has assessed how increased adoption of generative AI has impacted students' active thinking, independent learning, and educational engagement. The outcomes of this study indicated that GenAI can be a functional tool that is a learning facilitator and probable cause of cognitive offloading among learners. This depends on the perspective of learners’ usage of Generative AI. However, this research concludes that Generative AI is a strategic resource for critical thinking but can also impede it when used as a substitute for cognitive effort.

  • Digital Payment Adoption and Financial Inclusion: Examining the Mediating Role of Financial Literacy and the Moderating Effect of Digital Trust in India
    Vol. 2 No. volume 2 issue 11 jan pg 1998-2013 (2026)

    Abstract

    Digital payment acceptance is recognised as a significant stimulator of financial inclusion by providing underserved and unbanked individuals’ access towards the structured economic systems. The drivers of digital payment adoption among the Indian population are the initiatives of Digital India by the government and the elevation of internet and mobile accessibility. This study aims to evaluate the digital adoption trends, digital trust style, digital literacy & awareness level, and financial inclusion among Indian users. The study followed the protocols of the inductive approach, secondary data collection method, and thematic analysis to access qualitative information. The findings outlined that the scope of digital payment acceptance by Indian users is limited due to the absence of financial literacy. Without having digital trust, financial inclusion is discarded. One of the most effective recommendations for this study is to follow the mixed data collection method, statistical analysis, and focus on implementing strong system security to measure the digital payment channels adoption patterns and accelerate financial inclusion through digital payments.

  • INFLUENCE OF YOGA ON SELF-CONTROL AND MORAL BEHAVIOUR AMONG SCHOOL STUDENTS
    Vol. 2 No. Issue-11, January,2026 ,pg1978-1997 (2026)

    Abstract

    Yoga has increasingly been acknowledged as a whole-child educational approach which can compound with the physical, psychological, emotional and behavioural growth of children and young people. This research paper highlights the effect of Yoga on the enhancement of Self-control and Moral behaviour of the School going children through Secondary Qualitative type of research. Review of current qualitative data, educational discourse, theories and reports regarding the connection between yoga and emotional regulation, self-discipline, empathy, responsibility and matters of ethics. The results show that the practice of yoga makes students more capable of controlling their feelings, coping with impulsive reactions, focusing attention and cultivating increased awareness of thinking and acting. A by-product of these changes may be the development of moral qualities like being respectful, cooperative, patient, responsible and compassionate. The study also shows that Yoga works best as a school-based activity, rather than just as a physical exercise. But the impact of yoga is dependent on its regularity, length and extent; student participation and participation of the teacher, and broader school culture. Overall, this research concludes yoga as an enriching complementary educational tool for improving the level of self-control among school children and promoting positive moral development.

  • Judicial Precedent in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: Evaluating the Future of Stare Decisis in the Indian Legal System
    Vol. 2 No. Issue-11, January,2026,Pg1962-1977 (2026)

    Abstract  

    The embedding of Artificial Intelligence into judicial decision-support tools, semantic research processes, and legal research options demonstrates a structural barrier to the doctrine of stare decisis under the legal hierarchy of India. However, this technology reinforces operational efficacy in resolving the Indian court backlogs; the adoption process is threatening in front of the Policy Directives and Judges in terms of constitutional integrity. This research study aims to outline the acceptance pattern of judicial precedent in the age of Artificial Intelligence-driven legal judgment under the Indian legal system. The study strictly followed a secondary qualitative thematic analysis to validate the identified research problem. The major finding of this study is that AI-driven legal judgment, by implying the protocols of Articles 21 and 141, creates structural bias and jurisprudential stagnation while predicting judgments in legal cases. Finally, this study recommends the mixed data collection method by entitling both secondary qualitative and primary quantitative methods to validate the outcome both statistically and thematically.

  • The Impact of Buy-Now-Pay-Later Services on Financial Budgeting Behaviour among Young Adult Consumers Using Digital Payment Platforms
    Vol. 2 No. issue11 Jan-2026,PAGE 1935-1950 (2026)

     

    Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) concept provokes purchasers to buy items instantly without triggering their logical thought process and utilise their money in scheduled instalments or small chunks. This research study aims to thoroughly understand the impact of the BNPL service mechanism towards financial budgeting behavioural patterns among adult youths by utilising the digital payment platforms from the perspective of India. The study utilised the secondary qualitative research method through the wider accessibility of articles, journals, PDFs, FinTech reports, magazines, and newspaper content. The findings of this study are aligned with the Mental Accounting Theory to highlight that BNPL purchases are operational expenditure over formal debt liability formation. The summarisation of this study demonstrated the elevated adoption rate of BNPL among younger demographics. However, youths' frequent association with the debt stacking procedure in various independent digital payment gateways creates an unexpected financial strain and auto-debits after using the BNPL services. The recommendation of this study is to utilise the empirical analysis, statistical interpretation, survey strategy, and primary quantitative data collection method in addition to the qualitative thematic analysis to further develop in-depth and more accurate numerical information on the relevant topic.

  • The Influence of Digital Payment Fraud Awareness on Consumer Trust and Continued Usage of UPI-Based Payment Services
    Vol. 2 No. ,issue10 DEC-2025,PAGE 1923-1934 (2025)

    Abstract

    Digital payment services in India have been on a growth spurt, especially with the introduction of Unified Payments Interface (UPI), which has revolutionized the way people conduct financial transactions in a more convenient and faster manner. With the rise of digital payment, however, the risk of fraud, cybersecurity threats and loss of consumer trust have increased as well. This study aims at understanding the extent and type of digital payment fraud in India and its effects on consumer confidence, impact of consumer awareness of payment fraud on continued use of UPI and government initiatives to enhance consumer protection. The study uses secondary data derived from academic literature; government reports, industry and credible online publications, and the study will have an exploratory research design. There were four themes that were analyzed using thematic analysis. The results showed that QR code scams and fraudulent payment requests are particular security threats, as are other types of digital fraud. Because of the limited awareness around cybersecurity, not only consumers, but also the less-informed ones are vulnerable. The study recommends better fraud prevention, authentication, and targeted awareness-raising campaigns to ensure consumer trust and safe use of UPI.

  • Recent Advances in Multilingual Sentiment Analysis for Social Media: A Systematic Literature Review of Deep Learning and Transformer-Based Approaches
    Vol. 2 No. issue 10,page1905-1922 (2025)

    Abstract

    Digital communication has evolved a context that allows us to capture different languages and trials in different cultures, leading to the development of multilingual sentiment classification. But the models that are based on transformer technology such as BERT and GPT-encouraged trials are more relevant and successful in interpreting the emotional tone of the text of various linguistic paradigms. This study employed a PRISM 2020 structural method and included 15 recorded sample literatures to curate narrative synthesis. Advanced deep-learning procedures and transformer-based models always seem to outperform convention language processing models regarding cross-lingual detection analysis. Despite numerous advantages, transformer-based tools also refer to limited annotation for limited languages and disparities in dialect modulation. Application of emojis, complex connotations, GIF, and abbreviations also present high-order barriers for transformer tools to conduct cross-lingual analysis. Overall, this report highlights the effectiveness of transformer-based approaches in gaining more cohesive and culturally explainable multilingual evaluation process which enable future social media-based natural language processing.

  • Rethinking the Senior Secondary Mathematics Curriculum: A Critical Review of Curriculum Reforms for Improving Teaching Effectiveness and Student Learning
    Vol. 2 No. issue10,page 1887-1904 (2025)

    Abstract

    The critical review demonstrates the reform of the senior secondary mathematics curriculum, aiming to embrace student learning dynamics and teaching effectiveness under the modern education system. The shift from the traditional procedure-based drill to mathematical modelling, data literacy, and conceptual understanding entails a fundamental transition within the advanced pedagogical approach. According to the ideologies of Fullan's Educational Change Theory, the reform mathematics curriculum, students' academic & career growth, teachers' new role entitlement, implementation hurdles, and strategic recommendations are aligned. The findings indicate that the policymakers and educators need to review the conceptual learning goals along with the cultivation of school-embedded professional learning communities. For developing a structured and advanced mathematics curriculum, the pedagogical approaches must be incorporated with inquiry-driven learning, digital tool integration, and a collaborative peer-observation method, resulting in minimising mathematics anxiety and widening the learners' desire to become successful in the STEM field and dream career.

  • Relationship between Social-Media Financial Influencers, Speculative Trading Behaviour, and Risk Perception among First-Time Equity Investors
    Vol. 2 No. Vol. 2, Issue: 10, December, 1870-1886 (2025)

    Abstract

    This study investigates the influence of the social-media financial influencers on the speculative trading behaviour and risk perception of first-time equity investors. As more people are looking to online sources for investment advice, like YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn, financial influencers are emerging as a trusted source for financial information for rookie investors. The study is an exploratory research design, using secondary data from peer reviewed journals, books and industry reports and uses thematic analysis to find key patterns. The results confirm that investor engagement is significantly higher when they start to encounter financial influencer content frequently, which in turn leads to more speculative investor behaviour and cognitive biases such as overconfidence and fear of missing out (FOMO). The online influence of finance personalities further limits the amount of independent verification of investment information, making it easier to make risky financial choices. The study demonstrates that social media can help people access financial information, but relying too heavily on content created by influencers can be detrimental to making rational investment choices. The results underscore the need to foster financial literacy, critical thinking, and regulatory supervision to encourage prudent investment practices.

    Keywords: Social-media financial influencers, Speculative trading behaviour, Risk perception, First-time equity investors, financial literacy.
