Authors - Nguyen Xuan Ha Giang, Lam Thanh-Toan, Nguyen Thai-Nghe Abstract - This study introduces a novel dual-branch Deep Matrix Factorization (DeepMF) framework enhanced by NLP techniques for predicting student performance in the Intelligent Tutoring Systems. Building on previous research, the proposed approach adopts a fundamentally different modeling strategy by transforming discrete educational features-such as learner ID, exercise, question, skill group, session start time, and repeated attempts-into structured sentences that capture both temporal and sequential information. These inputs are processed through two complementary branches. The first branch employs pre-trained GloVe embeddings, followed by a self-attention layer that captures intra-sequence dependencies before passing the representations into a DeepMF module. The second branch leverages a BERT-based model to extract contextualized language features. To address the issue of class imbalance, Focal Loss is applied during training on both the KDDCup 2010 and Assistment 2017 datasets. Experimental results demonstrate substantial improvements in prediction accuracy: RMSE is reduced from 0.418 to 0.167 (a 60.1% reduction) on KDDCup 2010, and from 0.472 to 0.186 on Assistment 2017 (representing a 60.6% relative improvement). These findings confirm the effectiveness of integrating contextual, sequential, and temporal modeling with DeepMF in educational data mining.

Authors - Sasipong Kijsason, Sa-Aat Niwitpong, Suparat Niwitpong Abstract - Parameter variance is used to measure the dispersion of data or the deviation of individual data points from the mean. A high variance indicates that the data are widely spread around the mean, reflecting greater variability within the dataset. This study introduces four novel methods for constructing confidence intervals for the variance of the Zero-Inflated two-Parameter Rayleigh distribution. These include the percentile bootstrap, the bootstrap method with standard error, the standard method based on a large sample, and generalized confidence interval approaches. A simulation-based comparison was conducted using coverage probability and expected length as performance criteria. The findings indicate that the generalized confidence interval and standard method achieved coverage probabilities closest to the nominal confidence level. Among these methods, the generalized confidence interval demonstrated the highest efficiency. Additionally, the proposed methods were applied to real-world data on COVID-19 mortality rates in Malaysia during September 2021.

Authors - Anju Kamal, Rajiv Prasad Abstract - The emergence of technology driven gig economy and digital labor platforms has transformed the methods of sourcing, assessing, and remunerating work. This study examines how traditional credentials like educational degrees and platform-specific ratings like Top Rated and Top-Rated Plus affect freelancer earnings in digital labor marketplaces. We use regression analysis to compare the explanatory power of ratings given by the platform and educational levels to determine whether platform ratings are more strongly associated with hourly earnings than formal education credentials for 146 freelancers on a prominent digital labor platform. Based on signaling theory, we found that platform-assigned ratings that acts as signals predict hourly earnings better than formal education. The findings indicate that digital labor marketplaces value platform signals like innovative reputation systems. The results show the association between traditional educational credentials that serve as labor market indicators and platform-specific signals in evaluating value in digital marketplaces. The study demonstrate labor signaling is changing in the era of digital work with implications for freelancers, platform developers and human resource management practices. It further challenges the traditional human capital development and raises questions about the role of traditional educational credentials in the future of digitally mediated work.
Authors - Md. Mizanur Rahman, Ankan Roy, Shovan Kumar Paul, Anupam Singha Abstract - Nowadays, energy or power dissipation has become a major concern in digital integrated circuit design. This high-density design of the chip increases power dissipation. One of the primary causes of energy dissipation is irreversible computation, necessitating improved power optimisation techniques. Consequently, the reversible logic methodology provides an efficient means to minimise energy dissipation in the circuit. Addition is a fundamental arithmetic operation that underpins other regularly utilised operations, including multiplication, division, and subtraction. In computing systems, adders, which are digital circuits that add numbers, are a fundamental component. With the continuous development of technology, the need for efficient and high-performance processing units has become inevitable, and these must be made from reversible logic elements. The Carry Skip Adder(CSA) is among the most efficient adders utilised in numerous data processing units to do swift arithmetic operations. This study introduces a design that is effective of a CSA utilising reversible logic gates and evaluates its performance. The proposed design achieves notable improvements over existing works by reducing garbage outputs, optimizing constant inputs, minimizing delay, enhancing quantum cost efficiency, and decreasing the overall gate count. Additionally, the performance of the suggested adder surpasses that of others in terms of transistor count and power dissipation.

Authors - Anika Yadav, Ananya V Holla, Animesh Giri Abstract - With the growing use of connected devices, geographic barriers diminish, enabling communication of critical data in near real-time. As the frequency of natural disasters increases, timely communication forms the backbone of efficient disaster management. With the number of recipients varying based on the population density, any disaster notification framework must be highly scalable. Big Data technologies like Apache Kafka, Apache Flink, RabbitMQ, Apache Spark, and Apache Hadoop can be employed to enhance scalability. This study proposes a hybrid framework that classifies disasters based on severity and then routes them through one of three pipelines. This approach ensures that the Quality of Service requirements for each disaster severity type are satisfied. The pipeline assigned to handle high-severity traffic demonstrates notification delivery with latency in the order of 0.88 seconds on average across the disaster types.
Authors - Chauhan Priyank Hasmukhbhai, Ritu Khanna Abstract - The integration of wind-solar hybrid systems presents a transformative pathway to bolster renewable energy resilience, yet their optimal deployment in geographically diverse environments remains hindered by spatiotemporal intermittency, conflicting stakeholder priorities, and dynamic ecological constraints. This study proposes a novel fuzzy meta-goal programming (FMGP) framework to reconcile techno-economic, environmental, and social objectives in wind-solar hybridization, with a focus on arid and coastal ecosystems—regions characterized by contrasting meteorological volatility and land-use sensitivities. By embedding fuzzy set theory into meta-goal structures, the model quantifies uncertainties in renewable resource availability (e.g., wind shear variability, solar irradiance fluctuations) while balancing antagonistic criteria such as levelized energy cost minimization, carbon footprint reduction, and biodiversity preservation. The FMGP approach uniquely incorporates synergistic complementarity metrics to exploit temporal offsetting between wind and solar generation cycles, enhancing grid stability in resource-erratic zones. Empirical validation through case studies in a hyper-arid desert and a storm-prone coastal region reveals Pareto-optimal solutions that achieve up to 23% improvement in annual energy yield reliability and 18% reduction in land-use conflicts compared to conventional multi-objective models. Furthermore, the framework introduces a stochastic acceptability index to evaluate policy robustness under climate change scenarios, demonstrating adaptive capacity in mitigating energy-water nexus pressures in arid areas and storm resilience trade-offs in coastal grids. This research advances sustainable hybrid system design by harmonizing multi-scale environmental governance with precision energy planning, offering policymakers a decision-centric tool to navigate the socio-ecological complexities of the renewable transition.
Authors - Kala V Krishnan, Ramanathan P V Abstract - India is currently experiencing a demographic dividend, with the youngest working population predicted to remain until 2050. Scholars emphasize that this demographic advantage alone cannot guarantee the economic growth of the country unless accompanied by effective policy interventions. Skill development has thus emerged as a national priority to harness this opportunity, leading to large-scale initiatives such as the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY). As India’s flagship skill certification scheme, PMKVY aims to provide industry-relevant training to youth. Despite its magnificent scale and substantial investment, the program faces a major challenge of high dropout rates among participants, which warns its long-term effectiveness and results in significant economic and social costs. Existing research highlights the need for analysing these dropout trends, especially at the state level, where disparities may reflect underlying regional and structural factors. This study adopts a quantitative cross-sectional comparative approach to assess the dropout rates of PMKVY across Indian states and examine the impact of selected state-specific factors: poverty rate, literacy rate, population density, and industrial development. The objective is to identify the extent of regional variation and analyse the relationship between these state-specific factors and program attrition. By doing so, the study aims to generate insights that can inform policy reforms and targeted interventions to improve retention and enhance the efficiency of government-supported skill development programs in India.
Authors - Chauhan Priyank Hasmukhbhai, Ritu Khanna Abstract - The strategic allocation of marine oil resources involves complex trade-offs between economic performance, operational efficiency, and environmental sustainability—often under significant uncertainty. This paper develops a robust decision-support framework that integrates Fuzzy Logic with Nonlinear Goal Programming (NLGP) to address the multi-objective optimization problem inherent in marine oil extraction and resource allocation. Uncertainty in key parameters— such as extraction costs, production yields, and environmental impact limits—is modeled using fuzzy sets, enabling a more flexible representation of real-world ambiguity. The model simultaneously optimizes multiple nonlinear and conflicting goals, including profit maximization, cost minimization, and ecological risk reduction. To efficiently solve the resulting nonlinear programming problem, a hybrid solution approach is proposed that combines fuzzy goal programming techniques with metaheuristic optimization, specifically a tuned Genetic Algorithm. The framework is applied to a representative offshore oil field scenario, demonstrating superior performance in solution quality and robustness compared to traditional linear and crisp optimization methods. The results underscore the potential of fuzzy NLGP models in supporting high-stakes operational decisions in uncertain and dynamic environments. This work contributes to the growing body of operations research methods that address multi-criteria decision-making under uncertainty, with direct implications for energy resource planning and sustainable marine operations.

In rural India, there are specific basic and cultural challenges that hinder the achievement of e-Governance objectives. Consequently, the government must address these issues and ensure that service delivery mechanisms are user-friendly for these communities. This paper will explore ICT and Governance in India, along with the fundamental challenges and acceptance of e-Governance.
Authors - Chauhan Priyank Hasmukhbhai, Ritu Khanna Abstract - Real-time optimization of virtual reality (VR) models in dynamic systems demands adaptive decision-making frameworks capable of reconciling conflicting objectives such as computational efficiency, latency reduction, and user experience fidelity. While traditional optimization techniques often struggle with the non-linear, high-dimensional, and time-sensitive nature of VR environments, this paper introduces a novel hybrid framework that synergizes Goal Programming (GP) and Neural Network Artificial Intelligence (NN-AI) to address these challenges. The proposed methodology leverages GP to formalize multi-objective decision-making under constraints, while a dynamically trained neural network predicts and prioritizes system states in real time, enabling context-aware adjustments to VR model parameters. By integrating GP’s structured optimization with NN-AI’s predictive adaptability, the framework achieves Pareto-optimal solutions that balance competing objectives across fluctuating operational conditions. The study validates the framework through a series of simulated and real-world VR scenarios, including immersive gaming and industrial training systems, where dynamic variables such as user interactions, environmental complexity, and hardware limitations are present. Results demonstrate a 22–35% improvement in rendering efficiency and a 40% reduction in latency compared to conventional single-objective optimization approaches, without compromising visual quality. Furthermore, the system exhibits robust generalization capabilities, adapting to unseen scenarios within 5–10 iterations. This research bridges a critical gap in real-time multi-objective optimization for VR, offering a scalable, AI-driven solution for industries reliant on immersive technologies. The framework’s ability to harmonize human-centric objectives with computational constraints positions it as a transformative tool for next-generation dynamic systems in entertainment, healthcare, and Industry 4.0 applications.
Authors - Thuan Nguyen Dinh, Truong Nguyen Xuan Abstract - In this paper, the authors suggest and compare models for industrial oven Time-to-Failure (TTF) prediction within a critical 60-minute timeframe using sensor data. They compare traditional methods such as LSTM, GRU + Attention, and XGBoost with a new hybrid approach: CNN-Autoencoder + XGBoost (CNN-AE+XGBoost).

Authors - Moksha Patel, Anuradha Desai, Happy Patel Abstract - Despite advancements in health care, cervical cancer is still one of the most prevalent causes of death amongst women globally. This highlights the importance of early diagnosis, which significantly improves the chances of positive treatment outcomes. Traditionally, the Pap sample screening has been used; however, its interpretation is human-dependent, which causes variability and prospective delays in patient treatment. To address these issues, this study offers a model called CerviScan, which utilizes Convolutional Neural Net-works, specifically InceptionV3, to automatically multiclass cervical cell image classification. The SIPaKMeD dataset, containing 5 different types of cervical cell images, served as the training dataset for our model. Through transfer learning and extensive augmentation, we sought to improve generalization capability. As a result, CerviScan was able to surpass a classification threshold of 96.8%, exhibiting remarkable accuracy and recall for all cell type categories. Concerning this medical imaging problem, InceptionV3, along with fine-tuning techniques, has deeply enhanced classification performance owing to its deep feature extraction capabilities. This system is highly accurate, cost-effective, and efficient, which offers remarkable assistance in eliminating repetitive tasks for pathologists and thereby accelerating the diagnosis process. Adapting deep learning methodologies to enhance the early detection of cervical cancer, as discussed in CerviScan, demonstrates the potential it has to improve cervix cancer detection and healthcare equality on a global scale.

Authors - Jose Luis Chavez Torres, KunYong Zhang, Camila Nickole Fernandez Morocho, Tyrone Alexander Guarderas Cabrera Abstract - This study investigates the ability of vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides) to improve the geomechanical characteristics of fine soils in the province of Loja, Ecuador. Given the problem of erosion and slope instability in the region, the effect of the vetiver root system on soil shear resistance was experimentally evaluated. Undisturbed soil samples were extracted, both with the presence of vetiver and control (without vetiver), at depths between 0.80 and 1.5 meters. Laboratory tests included physical characterization of the soil and geomechanical tests such as the undrained consolidated triaxial test (CU) and the direct shear test (CD). The results obtained demonstrate a notable increase in the apparent cohesion and shear resistance of the samples with vetiver roots compared to the control samples. The presence of vetiver markedly enhanced the soil's shear resistance capacity, reflected in a considerably greater apparent cohesion in the reinforced samples. These findings validate vetiver grass as an effective and sustainable bioengineering solution for slope stabilization and mitigation of erosive processes in soils with characteristics similar to those studied.

Authors - Happy Patel, Anuradha Desai, Moksha Patel Abstract - Breast cancer can be considered one of the fatal disorders distinguished by unusual and uncontrolled development of breast cells, which requires early and precise detection in order to be effectively treated. Ultrasound image is frequently used for breast cancer screening as it is widely available and non- invasive. Diagnostic difficulties may arise from the subjective and variable manual interpretation of ultrasound pictures. In this work, we suggest a Deep Learning Model utilizing EfficientNetB4 for automated classification of ultrasound images of breast cancer. There are 647 images in the collection that have been categorized as either benign or malignant. Binary masking, histogram equalization, and grayscale conversion are some of the steps to improve feature extraction. The proposed model outperforms traditional CNN architectures achieving an accuracy of 90.24% on the testing dataset after being trained with a transfer learning approach. The model indicates exceptional sensitivity in identifying malignant cases, decreased the rate of false-negative outcomes, and increased diagnosis accuracy. To ensure efficient model training, accurate iterative improvement, and consistent performance improvement, learning rate scheduling and check pointing are used. The experimental results demonstrate how well EfficientNetB4 performs feature extraction and classification, making it a potentially useful tool to help radiologists diagnose breast cancer. By providing a better approach for identifying and categorizing breast cancer, this research promotes the use of deep learning in the field of medical imaging.
Authors - Prince Kelvin Owusu, Philomina Pomaah Ofori, Moses Aggor Ofori, Dzordzoe Koffie-Ocloo, Gibson Afriyie Owusu, Martins Larweh Nuertey Abstract - The Internet of Everything (IoE) extends traditional IoT by integrating people, processes, data, and things into a highly dynamic and context-sensitive ecosystem. This convergence introduces complex security, privacy, and trust challenges that cannot be effectively addressed using static or device-centric models. In this paper, we propose CAT-M, a novel Context-Aware Trust Management framework that integrates dynamic trust evaluation, semantic policy enforcement, and context-sensitive privacy controls to secure heterogeneous IoE environments. CAT-M leverages fuzzy logic, semantic translation, and lightweight cryptography to ensure scalable, interoperable, and human-centric security. Through simulation in a smart healthcare scenario, we demonstrate the framework’s effectiveness in reducing privacy leakage, improving trust accuracy, and enabling real-time access control.

Silamboli, Divya Rani M S, G Dhivyasri, Nagesh H, J Ajayan, Manaswini R, Kalyandurg Rafeeq Ahmed, M Manikandan Abstract - This article uses Koch fractals to demonstrate a compact heptagonal wideband antenna for 5G mm-wave applications. This antenna is designed with defective ground planes to enhance impedance matching and employs Koch fractal geometry for wideband characteristics. In terms of performance and wideband features, fractal antennas prove to be more effective than other antennas. This antenna is designed to achieve greater gain and improved bandwidth characteristics while also minimizing interference at higher frequencies. A peak realized gain of 5dBi at 27.58 GHz is observed for the antenna, which offers a bandwidth between 26.5 and 40 GHz. Millimeter-wave integration is well suited to the proposed flexible antenna. A similar response can be found both in the measured results and in the simulated results. It is a compact antenna with a size of 9 mm by 9 mm. With a bandwidth of 7.42GHz, the VSWR for the whole frequency spectrum is less than 2 is achieved with the HFSS Tool. Experiments and simulations yield a good radiation pattern.
Authors - Priya Shirley Muller, Yadala Sucharitha, Shilpa Kottapally, Gulshodakhon Ismoilova, Lola Rakhimova, Pundru Chandra Shaker Reddy Abstract - Many scholars worry about the stock market, a key economic component. Many experts are exploring how to forecast stock prices and market trends. Previous prediction methods centered on geometric and neural network models, which have become admired. Although not typically utilized in financial time series, deep learning offers excellent learning abilities and is ideal for complex timeseries. Due to its cyclic structure, the LSTM network has long-term memory, making it perfect for financial timeseries anticipation. A new stock closing price anticipation framework yields better predictions than standard models in the study. Data pre and postprocessing use empirical-wavelet-transform (EWT) and outlier-resilient-extreme learning-machine (ORELM) models. Dropout strategy and particle swarm optimization (PSO) method optimize the mixed frame's primary component, an LSTM predictor. Each hybrid framework algorithm can maximize its functionalities to improve prediction ac-curacy. Three hard datasets are used for predicting trials to test the model. To demonstrate the framework's efficacy, some comparison models are chosen. Investigational results reveal that the hybrid approach proposed in the study has the best anticipation accuracy and may be used for stock market data investigation.

Authors - Jaride Chama, Hajraoui Kenza, Zaidane Kaoutar, Benabdelkrim El Filali Yasmine Abstract - With technological developments and the digitalization of business processes in the banking sector, physical and virtual environments are complementing each other. Electronic channels are no longer considered as additional or less costly way of interacting with customers. Today, they represent a considerable and constantly growing part of the activities of bank institutions world-wide. The aim of this work is to assess the impact of trust in the development of fintech banking through a transnational analysis. The results of this work can be used to map the countries that studied this topic. The findings of this study reveal that, despite the fact that research in this field has been carried out in a wide variety of economic and cultural contexts (45 countries were surveyed), the previous studies agreed on the strong presence of trust as an entry barrier for the development of financial technology in the banking sector. In addition to trust, other adoption factors appear to be essential for consumers. The vulnerability resulting from digitalization in the banking sector has enabled us to formulate some suggestions for further investigations.
Authors - Md. Abbas Ali Khan, Md. Musfique Anwar, Mohammad Hanif Ali, Touhid Bhuiyan, Md. Ataur Rahman Abstract - Personalized driving assistance, security, and usage-based insurance models all depend on driver identification in intelligent transportation systems. Conventional techniques for identifying drivers primarily rely on biometric or manually engineered feature data, which may not adequately capture the nuances of unique driving actions. Using time-series driving data, including vehicle speed, steering angle, and acceleration, we present a unique contrastive learning-based method for driver identification in this study. The suggested model uses contrastive learning to compare driving sessions from the same driver to those of other drivers to learn how to distinguish between them. Rather than requiring manual feature extraction, our method automatically extracts strong, high-dimensional representations of driving behavior. Concerning driving sequences, the contrastive learning framework aims to minimize the similarity between sequences from different drivers and maximize the similarity between sequences from the same driver. When applied to situations with various driving behaviors and a small amount of labeled data, our strategy outperforms more conventional classification techniques in accuracy. The suggested model offers a scalable and effective solution for real-world applications, as demonstrated by experimental findings on driving publicly available datasets. This model also greatly increases driver identification performance. We applied seven machine learning classification models. The Random Forest Classifier obtained the highest accuracy of 93.57%.

Authors - Rohit Yadav, Rohini Bhosale, Rahul Rathod, Prashant Dhotre, Yashraj Salunkhe Patil Abstract - Phishing continues to be a prevalent threat in cybersecurity, using deceptive URLs to undermine user information and system integrity. Conventional machine learning methods, though effective when handcrafted features are used, tend to perform poorly in generalizing against more obfuscated patterns of attacks. This paper presents an effective phishing URL detection system that takes advantage of the contextual strengths of quantized Large Language Models (LLMs)—namely Mistral-7B and Mixtral-8x7B—combined with interpretable gradient boosting models like CatBoost. The LLMs are employed with prompt-based inference for semantic URL evaluation, whereas the CatBoost model employs lexical and statistical features for structured classification. Tested on a balanced dataset of more than 2.28 mil-lion URLs, the system has high accuracy and low false positive rates. SHAP-based visualizations are employed to offer transparent explanations for model decisions. The findings prove the real-world feasibility of integrating effective LLM reasoning with conventional ML in real-time phishing defense systems, particularly in resource-limited settings.
Authors - Aryan G. Kale, Kajal P. Salampuriya, Nitin Prakash Abstract - The ascent of artificial intelligence technologies, particularly the generative application of GANs, has changed the landscape of media production into a milieu that easily allows - creation of hyper-realistic yet deceptive content. While deepfakes have indeed been misused from entertaining, educative, and access provisions, their abuse causes dreadful threats to mental well-being and social harmony. This study explores the psychological effects of deepfakes, such as anxiety owing to identity theft, impersonation, trust erosion in digital media, cognitive dissonance because of the inability to tell the difference between real and fake content, and social isolation due to cyberbullying and non-consensual pornography.On the social front, deepfakes add to the pool of misinformation spreading, fake news politically entering the narratives, and a myriad of ethical dilemmas, adding to general confusion, anxiety, and distrust among the public at large in institutions. The economic designs revolve around hiring specialists to thwart deepfake manipulation and attending to its legal and psychological aftermath.To ameliorating this, the study points out a projective need for strategies of intervention. These would include developing an AI detecting tool that identifies and flags deepfakes, launching public awareness campaigns to increase digital literacy and critical thinking, instituting solid legal scaffolding with added ethical principles, and other support systems including counseling services supporting the victims of deepfake assaults.The study is primarily inclined toward discussing how integrated management approaches shall serve to address the issues faced concerning deepfakes, while the positives remain intact. Future research is necessary to explore the cultural and demographic nuances of deepfake impacts, understand the influence of the COVID- 19 pandemic on mental health in the context of deepfake exposure, and evaluate the effectiveness of emerging prevention and mitigation strategies.
Authors - Anubrata Dhar Chaudhuri, Raj Chakraborty Abstract - The hospitality sector faces increasing pressure to integrate sustainability into operations while maintaining high productivity. Green Human Re-source Management (GHRM) practices have proven to enhance employee engagement and promote eco-friendly organizational citizenship behavior. How-ever, traditional GHRM frameworks lack the digital, real-time analytics needed to respond dynamically to workforce changes and sustainability goals. This research work proposes the AI-GHRM Integration Model (AGIM), a novel conceptual framework that extends the classical Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) paradigm into a dynamic feedback loop powered by artificial intelligence (AI). AGIM consists of a multi-layered architecture incorporating AI-based predictive analytics for attrition and engagement forecasting, NLP-driven sentiment analysis of employee well-being, IoT-enabled automation of sustainability compliance, and privacy-preserving security mechanisms. This paper outlines the AGIM conceptual model, compares its dimensions with traditional GHRM, and presents a hypothesis matrix linking AI-powered interventions to employee and sustainability outcomes. A mixed-method research methodology is discussed, blending qualitative case studies with quantitative analytics. Use case scenarios illustrate AGIM’s implementation phases in a hotel setting. The discussion highlights theoretical contributions (extending SOR with AI feed-back) and practical implications for business information systems in “smart secure systems”. Future work includes empirical validation and expansion to other service industries.

Authors - Surya Anugrah, Sabo Hermawan, Christian Wiradendi Wolor, Eka Septariana Puspa, Windy Permata Suyono, Dwi Handarini Abstract - Indonesia’s bold leap toward digital tax reform culminated in the 2025 launch of its Core Tax Administration System (CTAS) a centralized platform aimed at streamlining taxpayer services, boosting compliance, and modernizing revenue administration. This study critically evaluates the early- stage implementation of CTAS using a dual-theoretical lens: the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Institutional Theory. Drawing on government documents, user surveys, and media analysis, findings reveal a paradox while users widely acknowledge CTAS’s potential to simplify tax filing, technical glitches, complex interfaces, and poor system responsiveness undermine its usability and acceptance. Moreover, institutional misalignments such as inadequate training, low digital literacy, and resistance to change pose structural barriers to reform success. By integrating behavioral insights with systemic analysis, this research highlights the multilevel challenges of digital transformation in public finance. The paper concludes with actionable lessons for emerging economies navigating the tension between technological innovation and institutional readiness in the digital era.
Authors - Krishna Saurabh Soni, Pranshi Talati, Jash Mandani, Dweepna Garg, Parth Goel Abstract - Recruitment has become a lot more complicated with a surge in the number of applicants for each job. Traditional resume screening methods are time-consuming and subjective—and that leads to inefficiencies and biases in candidate selection. What we need is a more efficient, fair and accurate way to evaluate resumes. That’s where a new resume screening system comes in. By using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with the Gemini API, we can improve the accuracy, efficiency and fairness of resume evaluation. That system pulls out the most relevant information from resumes, compares a candidate’s skills to the job description and gives you a selection probability score-complete with reasoning. We combined Natural Language Processing (NLP), machine learning and a resume dataset from Kaggle to refine the evaluation process. The experiments show the model can identify missing skills, match candidate qualifications to job requirements and give job seekers valuable insights. Integrating RAG into the hiring process can make a real difference to recruitment outcomes-and reduce bias and manual workload.

Authors - Surya Anugrah, Rochma Sudiati, Eka Septariana Puspa, Windy Permata Suyono, Sabo Hermawan, Septi Nurmalita Abstract - Carbon tax policies have been widely adopted as instruments for climate change mitigation; however, their implementation in developing countries continues to face significant structural and political challenges. This study aims to analyze the influence of per capita carbon emissions and tax revenue on carbon tax rates in ten developing countries during the period 2021-2023. Utilizing a panel data regression approach with fixed effects models, this research examines the causal relationship between environmental and fiscal factors and the determination of carbon tax rates. The estimation results reveal that per capita carbon emissions have a negative and statistically significant effect on carbon tax rates, with a coefficient of -6.09 (p0.05), suggesting that fiscal considerations are not yet a primary determinant in the design of carbon tax policies in developing economies. The policy implications of this study highlight the need for more progressive and integrated carbon tax reforms aligned with sustainable development agendas, particularly in support of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13. This study contributes novel empirical evidence to the green fiscal literature in developing countries and offers strategic recommendations for policymakers to optimize the role of carbon taxation in global emissions reduction efforts.
Authors - Navya H, Ananthavalli Thangam Abstract - Education is an important tool in empowering people with the required knowledge and influencing their perspective and attitude for transforming the society. This assumes more importance in the context of the goal of lifelong learning. Achieving goals require behaviour change at multiple levels. This study is an attempt to assess the impact of education on the perspectives of people in promoting eco-friendly behaviour. Quality education is invariably connected with certain goals such as reducing poverty and promoting gender equality. As we drive towards the targets of SDGs, a closer look at the intricate relation of education with the goals of zero hunger, gender equality and poverty reduction points towards the urgency in using education not merely as a goal in itself but a catalyst for attaining the desired goals. Equipped with the necessary skills, education provides opportunities for employment. Coupled with the awareness of sustainable development, the goals of economic advancement can be attained with less damage to the environment. Inclusive education with provision of equal opportunities for women leads to gender equality and participation of women in progress. A cross-sectional survey was taken to assess the perspective of the role of education as a catalyst to promote the SDGs. The results strongly indicated the need to provide quality education with the right strategy and policy interventions. There are economic and social challenges to overcome. The role of institutions is to be emphasized. Concerted efforts by academicians, corporates and the government can strengthen the pillars of economy, environment and equity.

Authors - Usha Sadhani, Melita Simoes, A M Kadakol Abstract - In today’s dynamic work environment, employee attrition is a crucial challenge for organizations that are impacted by demographic and job-related factors. This study examines the role of gender in attrition across different job roles and encompasses a multi-method approach taking into consideration 1,470 employees. The analysis found that there is no significant influence of gender in the attrition rates. Job satisfaction and tenure of an employee within an organization emanated as stronger predictors of attrition than gender, aligning with the established theories that highlighted the preference of job-related factors over demographic characteristics that helps in the retention of an employee. The logistic regression model showed a statistically significant result but was not very effective at predicting who leaves, highlighting the complexity of attrition and the role of factors not included in the study. Overall, the findings suggest that gender alone is insufficient to explain attrition patterns, highlighting the importance of contextual factors such as job role and employee satisfaction. This research contributes to the ongoing dialogue on diversity and retention by demonstrating that effective talent management should consider the nuanced interactions between job characteristics and individual experiences rather than relying on broad demographic generalizations.
Authors - Priyanka S. Dhore, Michael Savariapitchai, Rohini Chavhan Abstract - Repeatedly, being burnt out, constitutes a severe health issue, affecting employee welfare, and negatively impacting the long-term sustainability of health organizations. It revolves around different types of management styles that don't burn an employee out, but instead create an environment conducive to work, given health institutions. Exploring the work of four different dimensions of leadership: transformational, ethical, health-promoting, and resilient; would be towards reducing burning out and improving employee well-being, as well as creating a positive organizational culture. The study adopted a quantitative approach wherein close-ended survey questionnaires were used to collect data from a sample of 101 healthcare employees. Results revealed that empathic, supportive, and team-focused behavior of leaders has considerable impact on the burnout and job satisfaction levels of workers. In addition, interventions such transformational and health-promoting leadership have been found to have a positive influence on organizational health, supportive policies, and retention of employees, among others. Workplace leadership praise the productivity and balance. Leadership helps to focus Tasks. It encourages the distribution of workloads. It sets up mental health projects and it backs employee welfare. Healthcare leadership requires listening to concerns raised by employees, creating a work-life balance, and enforcing fair policies to prevent burnout. There is evidence in favor of having an enlightened discussion for healthcare leaders that improves the environment balancing conditions between burnout-prevention and better performance of the organization.
