Lights, Camera, Abuse: A Scoping Review of Scholarly Perspectives on Intimate Partner Violence in Cinema

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a pervasive global issue disproportionately affecting women. Films often portray IPV in ways that influence societal perceptions, either raising awareness or perpetuating harmful stereotypes, romanticizing abuse, and overlooking intersectional e...

Two new species of Merogomphus Martin, 1904 (Odonata: Anisoptera: Gomphidae) from the Western Ghats, India

We describe two new species of dragonflies from the Western Ghats Biodiversity Hotspot, Merogomphus aryanadensis sp. nov. from Kerala and M. flavoreductus sp. nov. from Maharashtra, India. Morphologically, these species are closely aligned with M. tamaracherriensis Fraser, 1931,...

Is digital finance associated with household financial portfolio diversification? Evidence from India's AIDIS 77th round

Purpose The study examines the relationship between access to digital finance (DF) and household financial asset portfolio diversification in India. It aims to examine whether access to DF is associated with reducing portfolio concentration and increased participation in formal f...

Simulation-based multi-objective resource optimization in fog computing using Genetic Algorithms

Efficient task scheduling in heterogeneous fog computing environments remains a challenging problem because latency, energy consumption, and resource utilization are inherently conflicting optimization objectives. Conventional scheduling techniques often rely on static heuristics...

A cost-effective UV spectrophotometric method for dopamine estimation in avian, piscine, and murine brain tissues

This study aims to validate and adapt a streamlined UV spectrophotometric method for the quantification of dopamine in brain extracts across diverse biological models, specifically chicks, fish, and mice. The analytical approach utilizes the chemical reaction between dopamine, po...

WILDFLOW: A Multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Academic Intelligence System

Wildflow is a structured multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) framework designed to enforce strict academic knowledge boundaries in question-answering systems. Conventional RAG architectures reduce hallucination by retrieving relevant documents but still allow large la...

Data driven permeability modelling in tight Jhuran formation sandstones of the Kutch offshore Basin India

Permeability prediction in tight sandstone reservoirs remains a fundamental challenge, particularly in data-constrained frontier basins. The Mesozoic Jhuran Formation of the Kachchh Offshore Basin is characterized by low permeability (0.01–10 mD), heterogeneous facies architectur...

Employer branding in the age of Industry 5.0: a human-centric framework for attracting Generation Z talent

Purpose This paper aims to examine how employer branding can be reconceptualised in the context of Industry 5.0 to attract and retain Generation Z talent. This study develops a five-level conceptual framework explaining how strategic orientation, organisational enablers and psych...

Polymer–Microbe Interfaces for Enhanced Electron Transfer in Microbial Fuel Cells

The increasing demand for sustainable energy storage has highlighted the limitations of lithium‐ion batteries, including resource depletion, thermal instability, electrode degradation, and limited recyclability. These challenges have stimulated interest in microbial fuel cells (M...

Unraveling the effects of fracture density and intensity on reservoir connectivity and flow behavior

<title>Abstract</title> Understanding the factors that influence fluid flow in fractured reservoirs is crucial for optimizing production and enhancing reservoir management. While extensive studies have focused on network characterization, the direct influence of density and inten...

Trump 2.0 and global stock dynamics: a decomposed view of US trade partners' market connectedness

Purpose We aim to elucidate the decomposed connectedness among the financial markets of the top five US trade partners, i.e. Mexico, Canada, China, Taiwan and Germany. It also intends to explore the opportunity for risk mitigation through diversification for a cross-country portf...

Precision-guided gramian angular field for ECG-based cardiac arrhythmia detection utilizing binary-weight simplicial convolutional neural networks

Cardiac arrhythmia, characterized by abnormal heart rhythms, can be effectively identified using electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. However, the complex temporal and frequency patterns in ECG recordings make accurate diagnosis challenging. Recent advances in deep learning have sign...

Peripheral blood cell counts as correlates of insulin sensitivity in children and youth with type 1 diabetes: A retrospective study from western India

BACKGROUND: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an insulin dependent diabetes treated with exogenous insulin therapy. A subset of individuals with T1DM develops reduced insulin sensitivity, a phenomenon often referred to as 'double diabetes', which is associated with an increased...
