Next-Generation Question Creation: A Machine Learning Perspective on Document-Driven Automation
Abstract
Designing questions and answers is a necessary task when working for some organisations in the education and training sectors and even in some other fields with user interactions. However, the standard ways of doing it can be heavy on budget and resource. This work provides a brief description of a request online application built around AI to generate question and answer from text documents using recent NLP and machine learning techniques. Users that find the wizard interface of the web application (without having to register) dialogs very simple, will simply upload their text documents and get Questions and Answers in various formats including PDF, CSV and XLS. This paper presents a study on generating multiple-choice questions (MCQs) automatically quite distinctive from the fact that computer science education is a very evolving subject with multiple sub-domains.

Epistaxis : Diverse Causes – Hematologist has a significant role in optimal care
Abstract
Abstract -
Background: Epistaxis is among the most common otorhinolaryngological emergencies, affecting up to 60% of the population. While most cases are benign and managed with local measures, unusual hematological causes may underlie recurrent or severe presentations.
Objective: To present a case series highlighting diverse hematological etiologies of epistaxis encountered during the initial practice period of a budding hematologist in a remote region of Karnataka, India.
Methods: Six consecutive patients presenting with epistaxis were evaluated comprehensively. Detailed hematological workup was performed, and management was tailored to the underlying diagnosis.
Results: The series included:
• Drug-induced thrombocytopenia managed successfully with TPO agonists.
• Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria diagnosed during pancytopenia evaluation and referred for anti-complement therapy trials.
• Fanconi anemia confirmed by cytogenetics and mutation analysis, managed with transfusion support and antifibrinolytics, with transplant planning underway.
• Immune thrombocytopenic purpura treated with steroids and hematinics.
• Eisenmenger syndrome with erythrocytosis managed by phlebotomy.
• Erythrocytosis with suspected acquired von Willebrand disease controlled with local measures, hydration, and lifestyle modification.
Conclusion: This case series underscores the importance of hematologist involvement in epistaxis evaluation, especially in uncovering rare and systemic causes beyond routine ENT practice. Awareness of conditions such as PNH, Fanconi anemia, acquired vWD, and drug-induced thrombocytopenia is crucial for timely diagnosis and appropriate management.

EARLY DETECTION & ANALYSIS OF AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER USING MACHINE LEARNING
Abstract
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neuro-disorder in which a person has a lifelong effect on interaction and communication with others. Autism can be diagnosed at any stage in once life and is said to be a "behavioral disease" because in the first two years of life symptoms usually appear. According to the ASD problem starts with childhood and continues to keep going on into adolescence and adulthood. Propelled with the rise in use of machine learning techniques in the research dimensions of medical diagnosis, in this there is an attempt to explore the possibility to use Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine, Logistic Regression, KNN, Neural Network and Convolutional Neural Network for predicting and analysis of ASD problems in a child, adolescents, and adults. The proposed techniques are evaluated on publicly available three different non-clinically ASD datasets. First dataset related to ASD screening in children has 292 instances and 21 attributes. Second dataset related to ASD screening Adult subjects contains a total of 704 instances and 21 attributes. Third dataset related to ASD screening in Adolescent subjects comprises of 104 instances and 21 attributes. After applying various machine learning techniques and handling missing values, results strongly suggest that CNN based prediction models work better on all these datasets with higher accuracy of 99.53%, 98.30%, 96.88% for Autistic Spectrum Disorder Screening in Data for Adult, Children, and Adolescents respectively.

Automatic Dam control system
Abstract
An Automated Dam Control System is designed to enhance the safety, efficiency, and reliability of dam operations by minimizing human intervention through intelligent monitoring and control mechanisms. Traditional dam management relies heavily on manual observation and decision-making, which can lead to delayed responses during critical situations such as floods or sudden increases in water levels. The proposed system addresses these limitations by integrating sensors, microcontrollers, and automated control algorithms to continuously monitor water levels and regulate gate operations in real time.
The system utilizes water level sensors to detect changes in reservoir levels and processes this data using a microcontroller. Based on predefined threshold values, the controller automatically opens or closes dam gates to maintain safe water levels and prevent overflow or structural damage. The automated approach ensures timely decision-making, reduces the risk of flooding in downstream areas, and improves operational accuracy. Additionally, the system can be enhanced with alert mechanisms and remote monitoring features for better supervision. Overall, the Automated Dam Control System provides a reliable, cost-effective, and efficient solution for modern water resource management and disaster prevention.

Temperature based fan controller
Abstract
Temperature control is an important requirement in electronic
systems to ensure stable operation and to prevent damage
caused by excessive heat. This work presents the design and
development of a temperature-based fan controller using an IC
741 operational amplifier and basic analog components. An
NTC thermistor is employed to sense ambient temperature
variations and convert them into corresponding electrical
changes. These changes are processed using a comparator
circuit, where the sensed signal is evaluated against a
predefined reference level adjusted through a potentiometer.
When the temperature exceeds the set limit, a transistor
switching stage activates the cooling fan automatically. The
proposed system operates entirely in the analog domain and
does not require any programmable devices, making it simple,
economical, and suitable for educational applications.
Experimental observations indicate reliable switching behavior
and effective thermal response, demonstrating the practicality
of the design for basic temperature control applications.

INHALABLE INSULIN: A REVOLUTION IN DIABETES MANAGEMENT
Abstract
Considerable time and financial resources have been dedicated to the development of new medications that target various essential enzymes and signalling pathways, which have temporarily aided in mitigating this growing pandemic. Insulin continues to be regarded as the gold standard for treatment; however, it is frequently rejected by both patients and healthcare professionals (clinical inertia) due to the method of administration of this medication. Although ultra-short-acting insulin analogues assist in managing prandial glucose spikes, they necessitate 2-3 doses depending on meal intake. Furthermore, long-acting basal insulin is often needed to replicate normal physiological insulin baseline levels. This results in an average of 2-4 insulin injections per day, which many individuals find quite distressing. Patients frequently feel overwhelmed by the necessity of finger pricks for regular blood glucose monitoring, and the prospect of tracking blood glucose levels has often deterred a significant number of patients who guess their sugar levels before and after meals. Insulin therapy requires more stringent blood glucose monitoring, and in cases of hypoglycaemic episodes or uncontrolled hyperglycaemias, multiple finger pricks may be necessary. The discrepancies in blood glucose readings across various Point of Care (POC) glucometer devices do not alleviate the situation and only contribute to the existing frustration. Emphasizing alternative and innovative drug delivery methods for existing molecules can help shift the therapeutic paradigm towards more favourable outcomes. This article will explore one such transformative change in the drug delivery of insulin.

Information Retrieval Systems for Efficient Multimedia Information Access
Abstract
An Information Retrieval System (IRS) is designed to store, organize, retrieve, and maintain information in response to user queries. Unlike traditional database systems that rely on structured data and exact matching, an IRS focuses on retrieving relevant information from large collections of unstructured or semi-structured data such as text, images, audio, video, and other multimedia content. With the rapid growth of the Internet and advances in low-cost computing and storage technologies, information retrieval systems have become essential tools for managing vast digital repositories and enabling efficient access to knowledge. The primary objective of an IRS is to reduce the user’s effort in locating needed information. This effort, known as information retrieval overhead, includes query formulation, execution, examination of retrieved results, and reading non-relevant items. To evaluate system effectiveness, two key performance measures are used: precision, which reflects the accuracy of retrieved results, and recall, which measures the completeness of retrieval. A balance between these measures is crucial for effective information access. Modern information retrieval systems support natural language queries, allowing users to express their information needs in everyday language. Internally, an IRS operates through several functional processes, including item normalization, selective dissemination of information, document database search, and index database search. Item normalization converts diverse data formats into standardized, searchable representations through processes such as zoning, token identification, and stop-word removal. Indexing and automatic file-building techniques further enhance retrieval efficiency.

Optimizing Cloud Access Control with the Principle of Least Privilege
Abstract
As cloud setups keep exploding across the board, businesses are doubling down on spread-out networks to stash away, crunch through, and swap out all sorts of confidential info. The upside? Massive room to grow and bend without snapping. The downside? A tangled web of security headaches, especially around figuring out who's allowed in and what they can touch. Right in the mix of solid security basics is the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP)—that straightforward idea of handing out just the bare-bones access needed to get the job done, slashing the chances of a hack turning into a catastrophe if someone's login goes south.

A Study on Rupee Cost Averaging Through Flexible SIPs
Abstract
This research provides an expert-level evaluation of Rupee Cost Averaging (RCA) and its evolution into flexible and value-based Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) models within the Indian equity market from 2000 to 2025. While traditional SIPs have democratized equity participation through a fixed-amount approach, this study analyses the quantitative efficiency of adaptive models that leverage valuation triggers like Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratios and the Yield Gap. Through an empirical lens, the study identifies a significant "behaviour gap" of 1.5% to 2% annually, wherein retail investors often sabotage mathematical cost-averaging benefits by pausing SIPs during market downturns. Analysis of a 22-year dataset (2003–2024) reveals that intra-month timing specifically aligning SIPs with Futures and Options (F&O) expiry volatility yields a tactical advantage of 0.5% to 2.5% annually. Furthermore, while Value Averaging (VA) generated higher returns in 352 out of 359 analysed Indian companies, the study highlights the practical liquidity constraints that make it more suitable for high-net-worth individuals than salaried retail investors. The findings challenge the industry narrative of consistent 12–15% returns, revealing an empirical 20-year pre-tax CAGR of 6.7% for Nifty 50 SIPs, and provide strategic recommendations for navigating volatility through systematic automation and regime-aware asset allocation.

Fortifying Cloud Ecosystems: A Comparative Evaluation of Access Control Models through the Principle of Least Privilege
Abstract
The proliferation of cloud computing infrastructures has compelled organizations to adopt distributed architectures for the storage, processing, and dissemination of sensitive information. Although these platforms deliver unparalleled scalability and adaptability, they concurrently engender intricate security vulnerabilities, most notably in the domains of authorization and access governance. Central to mitigating these risks is the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP), a cornerstone security doctrine that prescribes granting entities solely the essential permissions requisite for their designated functions, thereby curtailing the expanse of potential breaches stemming from credential compromise.
This investigation undertakes a rigorous examination of prevailing cloud authorization paradigms, appraised through the prism of parsimonious security imperatives. It scrutinizes the efficacy with which extant models uphold PoLP stipulations within multifaceted, multi-tenant cloud ecosystems. Conventional methodologies—encompassing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC), and Policy-Based Access Control (PBAC)— undergo methodical appraisal, juxtaposed against nascent frameworks such as relational, risk-responsive, credence- oriented, and situational authorization constructs.

AI-Mediated Phonetic Automatization Theory (AIPAT): A Conceptual Model for Accelerated L2 Pronunciation Development in Adult Learners
Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed second language (L2) pronunciation training by delivering real-time, segment-specific acoustic feedback yet theoretical models in L2 phonetics have not kept pace. This paper proposes the AI-Mediated Phonetic Automatization Theory (AIPAT), a domain-specific conceptual framework explaining how AI-driven feedback accelerates the shift from effortful to automatic speech production in adult EFL learners. Developed through empirical work with 50 Arabic-speaking English teachers from diverse Iraqi institutions, AIPAT defines true phonetic automatization as the convergence of two independent markers: (1) reduced speech onset latency (a cognitive indicator of processing efficiency) and (2) stabilized acoustic parameters, such as consistent frication duration for /θ/. The model rests on four core assumptions, including the Temporal Precedence Principle, which holds that reaction time improvements precede acoustic stabilization a reversal of traditional pedagogical sequencing. AIPAT outlines a three-stage developmental trajectory and generates falsifiable predictions about phoneme markedness, adult plasticity, and non-linear learning curves. While deliberately narrow in scope, this micro-theory offers a testable scaffold for experimental phonetics, intelligent tutoring systems, and L2 teacher education.

AI-POWERED EAELY DETECTION OF MELANOMA
Abstract
Early and accurate identification of malignant melanoma continues to be a major challenge for clinicians in the field.
Traditional diagnostic approaches, including physical examination, histology, imaging, and nodal assessments, are
frequently costly, require significant expertise, and can display large variations among clinicians. These factors may
result in missed or misdiagnosis, which often significantly affects a patient’s prognosis. We examine in detail how
the application of AI methods such as machine learning and deep learning can be used to advance early detection
and identification of melanoma. We review various AI algorithms, including standard classifiers, ensemble
techniques, and complex deep learning models. Hybrid models that combine convolutional neural networks (CNNs)
and support vector machines (SVMs) are emphasized in this review, as they show enhanced performance and
improved resistance to variations in the diagnostician’s input. Better utility of transfer learning and data
augmentation approaches is discussed to overcome the challenges posed by small and unbalanced medical datasets.
The authors consider the combination of various types of medical information for more effective cancer diagnosis.
However, significant obstacles, including model explain ability, privacy safeguarding, and clinical evaluation, still
need to be addressed. Extensive efforts are needed to overcome these barriers if AI systems are to be effectively
adopted within healthcare environments. We suggest that AI offers the opportunity to revolutionize melanoma care
by enabling rapid decision support and individualized treatment plans. Realizing this opportunity will depend on
effective partnerships between researchers, clinicians, and industry to bring together advances in technology and
their effective implementation in the healthcare system.

A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE AND SERVICE QUALITY IN SMALL BANKS AND NEW GENERATION BANKS
Abstract
Two decades of financial liberalization, rapid technological innovation, and changing customer expectations have transformed the Indian banking sector beyond recognition. A uniquely heterogeneous banking ecosystem has evolved where legacy small banks coexist with technology-driven new generation banks, and customer experience has become a critical determinant of competitiveness and sustainability. The present study reports a primary data–based empirical examination of customer experience and service quality in small banks and new generation banks.
The main purpose of this study is to compare customer perceptions in both the banking segments regarding service efficiency, responsiveness of the staff, digital accessibility, trust, speed of transaction, and grievance redressal mechanisms. Primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered on 50 bank customers comprising users of small banks and new generation banks. A descriptive and comparative research design was adopted for the study, wherein the data were analysed using percentage analysis, comparative tabulation, and interpretative techniques.
These findings undoubtedly create a distinction between the two banking models in terms of customer expectation and satisfaction. Small banks have still retained the loyalty of customers through their personalized services, emotional trust, and close banker–customer relationships, especially among rural and elderly consumers. New generation banks, with their digital convenience, real-time transaction capability, efficiency of mobile and internet banking, and structured grievance handling mechanisms, are more appealing to the young and urban consumer segment. However, new generation bank customers also showed apprehensions over hidden charges, less human interaction, and dependency on technology.
The findings of the study indicate that, in the contemporary banking ecosystem, customer experience is increasingly shaped by the dual demand for relational trust and digital efficiency. The paper contributes to the existing literature by providing a primary data–driven comparative perspective and provides practical recommendations for banks on how to combine technological advancement with human-centered service delivery to enhance customer satisfaction and long-term loyalty.

Training and Development as a Strategic HR Tool in the Hospitality Industry: Evidence from Qatar
Abstract
Employee competence, behaviour, and service delivery are vital determinants of the organisational success of the hospitality industry, as it is highly service-based. In this regard, training and development are primarily viewed as imperative human resource factors in improving employee performance, motivation, and the quality of the service offered. This paper is a research on the role and efficiency of training and development practices in the hotel business in Qatar, with special focus on employee development, satisfaction, and perceived performance. The study selects secondary data as a quantitative method of research, critically examining empirical evidence achieved by using a structured questionnaire to respondents who are a sample of employees and managers employed in four and five-star international and local hotels based in Doha. The results show that training is a compulsory and institutionalized process in the sampled hotels, particularly in the initial phases of employment. Training is usually perceived by the employees as relevant, especially in enhancing motivation, job performance, and self-confidence. There is, however, an observed difference in training exposure among job positions whereby more development opportunity is given to senior employees compared to the frontline and middle-line employees. Although the general response about the training programs is quite satisfactory, the respondents point to the repetitive qualification and the excessive emphasis on theory and time constraints that disrupt the normal course of business. Limitations in the evaluation practice of training also emerge in the study, which are mostly based on employee satisfaction instead of quantifiable performance results. These results imply that even though training is considered to be worthwhile, the strategic potential is not met. It concludes that training and development ought to be viewed as a long-term investment in human capital, not a cost, and suggests an increased number of more role-specific, practical, and systematically tested training programs to improve the quality of service and organizational competitiveness in the hospitality industry of Qatar.

LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES DURING AND AFTER CRISIS”: Leading with Empathy through the COVID-19 Pandemic
Abstract
The COVID-19 crisis caused tremendous discontinuity to organizations and exceptional demands on leaders and employees. This study examines the role of empathetic leadership in managing crises and enabling organizations to stay stable throughout these difficult times. The study has utilized a secondary quantitative methodology where the researcher relies on the previous theses and evaluates the current statistics. The analysis involved revising the descriptive trends, relationships, dependability indices, and regression findings to comprehend the influence of empathy on employee experiences and organizational performances. The findings indicate that empathetic leadership has a potent influence on enhancing trust, morale, psychological safety, and stability within organizations. The analysis also shows that the quality of communication serves as the mediating variable between empathy and resilience, i.e., empathetic leaders perform better when communication is consistent and open. The findings of this study influence the recommendations that organizations need to consider empathy as a long-term leadership skill instead of a short-term response that is applied only during a crisis. The findings indicate that empathetic leadership not only enhances crisis reactions but also benefits the well-being of employees and helps them recover faster and healthier.

Advancements in User Experience and Emotion Integration in Digital Design
Abstract
Abstract—Traditionally, the process of User Experience (UX
are mostly disorganized, resulting in a split in the field of.
On the one hand, static text mining of net reviews offers
extensive, semantically rich, post-hoc analyses on user sentiment
and product feature opinions.[1, 1] However, this approach lacks
real- time applicability for interface adaptation. On the other
hand, dynamic “affective computing models” capture real-time,
high-resolution user emotion through modalities such as facial
recognition, speech, and “physiological biometrics. [1, 1, 1] These
immediate, and are ”context-blind,” in the sense that they lack
an understanding specific product-related *cause* of the user’s
affective state. We propose a novel **Hierarchical Affective
Fusion (HAF) Model** in order to bridge this critical gap.
HAF is a novel neural architecture that, for the first time,
combines these disparate and trans- temporal data streams.
It uses a Static UX Profile Encoder, these models have been
trained on large review corpora, in order to generate a product-
specific semantic knowledge base. The static profile then gets
utilized in contextualize the real-time output of a Dynamic Affect
Encoder, which combines video, audio, and physiologic signals.
The HAF The model employs a mixture of BERT-based topic
models, Vision ViT - transformers, Temporal-CNNs - bi and an
innovative fusion layer called Gated Multimodal Units (GMU)
and cross-modal attention. We describe an extensive experimental
designed in order compare the HAF-powered adaptive interface
with both static and unimodal adaptive baselines. We predict
that the The HAF-adaptive interface will produce statistically
significant increases in task success rates, measurable decreases
in user frustration, and increased scores on measures of self-
reported engagement (e.g., SAM/PANAS).[1] The present paper

Exploring Teacher Perceptions of Artificial Intelligence in Education: A Study of Pedagogical Beliefs, Technology Use, and the Impact of Experience on AI Adoption
Abstract
Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have stimulated the development of AI tools for education, offering potential to transform teaching and learning processes. However, teachers' acceptance remains a critical barrier to successful integration, and little is known about how their underlying pedagogical beliefs shape perceptions of different AI implementations. This study examines how secondary school teachers' pedagogical orientations influence their acceptance of AI, specifically comparing collaborative "co-pilot" tools that augment teacher decision-making with autonomous systems that operate independently. A quantitative, cross-sectional survey design was employed with 500 teachers in Hyderabad, Pakistan. The questionnaire measured constructivist and instructivist pedagogical beliefs using adapted scales and assessed AI acceptance through an extended Technology Acceptance Model applied to two distinct operational scenarios. Results indicate that teachers demonstrate a clear and significant preference for collaborative AI over autonomous systems, with higher perceived usefulness and behavioral intention for co-pilot implementations. Constructivist pedagogical beliefs strongly and positively predict acceptance of collaborative AI tools, while instructivist beliefs positively predict acceptance of autonomous systems. Technology use frequently emerges as a consistent positive predictor across all acceptance models, and perceived ease of use significantly influences behavioral intentions. The regression models explain 8-15% of variance in AI acceptance, indicating meaningful but partial explanatory power of pedagogical beliefs. These findings highlight that teachers' educational philosophies serve as crucial filters through which they evaluate technological innovations, with constructivist-oriented teachers favoring augmentation tools and instructivist-oriented teachers showing greater openness to automation. The study contributes to extending technology acceptance frameworks by demonstrating pedagogical beliefs as significant external variables and provides practical guidance for developing human-centered AI designs that align with teachers' diverse educational approaches and values

DECTECTING WEED PLANTS IN FIELDS USING AI TECHNIQUES
Abstract
Weed infestation is a major challenge in agriculture, significantly affecting crop yield, quality, and overall farm productivity. Conventional weed detection methods, such as manual inspection and uniform herbicide application, are labor-intensive, time-consuming, and environmentally harmful. With recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and computer vision, automated and precise weed detection has become feasible. This paper presents an AI-based approach for detecting weed plants in agricultural fields using deep learning techniques. Field images captured through cameras or unmanned aerial vehicles are processed using convolutional neural networks to accurately differentiate weeds from crops. The proposed system focuses on efficient feature extraction, robust classification, and reliable weed localization under varying field conditions. The AI-based approach supports precision agriculture by enabling targeted weed control, reducing chemical usage, minimizing labor costs, and promoting sustainable farming practices. The results demonstrate the potential of AI techniques to improve weed management efficiency and enhance agricultural productivity.
