Agriculture is the backbone of rural Africa, with nearly 70% of the population relying on it for their livelihoods. It goes beyond food and income. farming is deeply rooted in tradition and cultural identity. However, climate change is increasingly threatening this way of life. Irregular rainfall patterns, extreme heat, droughts, and floods are damaging crops and decreasing livestock productivity, particularly in areas heavily dependent on rainfall.

The goal of this research is to use machine learning and health indicator data to create a prediction model for diabetes diagnosis. The study finds important patterns linked to diabetes by examining a data set that includes a variety of health metrics, including BMI, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, lifestyle factors (such as smoking, physical activity, and food), and socioeconomic characteristics (such as income and education).

Radical economics critiques capitalism and its liberal orneoliberal economics. This paper takes undergraduate economics students in India as its readers, and gives them a taste of what radical economics is by some representative voices in it of the past and present. It also accounts for why radical economists are much fewer in number without any policy-influencing power and glory to their creditas compared to their conservative counterparts in the economics profession even as their ideas are compellingly appealingto the victims of capitalism.

Despite considerable global efforts to control and eliminate malaria, the disease still remains one of the most significant public health challenges in endemic regions worldwide. In order to combat malaria in endemic regions, community-based malaria control approaches are progressively emerging as an important strategy, highlighting their effectiveness in reducing transmission rates - malaria prevention, early detection, and treatment, and improving access to care at the local level.

Rajbanshi women belong from the royal community of Kamrup-Kamata Dynasty, which is presently known as North Bengal, Lower Assam, Bihar, Bangladesh and Nepal. Women played important roles as family heads and decision-makers, in agriculture, such as uprooting seedlings and cutting ripe paddy plants, engaged in the education system and practiced with indigenous culture. Rajbanshi women are involved in various cultural practices, such as Padmapuran, Bratas, Tistaburi, Mangalchandi, Kati Puja, Hudum Gaan and many more are interrelated with their daily life.

The global community heavily relies on universities, not only to create knowledge, but also to impact social values and social enterprises. The discussion about how higher education institutions serve as catalysts for social innovation has received much attention, especially in scholarly theoretical discourse across research, engagement, and collaboration. This paper adopts a social science framework to analyse several cases from various regions, emphasizing case studies in India, as the profound impact universities make on social dilemmas come to fruition.

This article is based on the perception that nowadays in different spheres, whether economic, political, social or environmental, ethics and sustainability are discussed. Worryingly, there is a need to establish and consolidate ethics among women, particularly those who carry out commercial activities in the informal market, so that environmental sustainability can be achieved. Therefore, the present research has the general objective of analyzing what has prevented the affirmation of ethics by sellers for the environmental sustainability of the Cabassango market.

It is widely acknowledged that poor diet quality, or an unhealthy dietary behaviour, is a key risk factor for various chronic diseases in children and adolescents, such as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Rising concerns over childhood nutrition and behavioural disorders have intensified research into dietary influences on child development. High sugar intake, prevalent in processed foods and sugary beverages, has been hypothesized to exacerbate aggressive tendencies and hyperactivity symptoms among children.

Rapid urbanization and the increasing demand for energy-efficient infrastructure necessitate innovative solutions for public lighting systems. This project presents an IoT-based smart street lighting system designed to optimize brightness based on environmental and contextual conditions across diverse locations such as railway stations, rural areas, and urban smart cities. The system integrates multiple sensors, including flood detection and air pollution monitoring modules, to dynamically adjust light intensity, enhance safety, and conserve energy.
