ASRL: Alternating Supervised And Reinforcement Learning For Efficient Small Language Model Training With Live Datasets

Authors: Ouissam Drissi

Abstract: Look, here's the thing – training small language models to think properly is hard. Really hard. Especially when you're working with just 600 million parameters and need them to follow a specific format while actually being smart about it. I've been there – you try pure reinforcement learning and your model outputs garbage for the first 10 epochs. You try supervised learning and it just memorizes without understanding. So I built something different. ASRL (Alternating Supervised-Reinforcement Learning) switches between supervised fine-tuning and GRPO within each epoch. Not after completing all supervised training. Not as separate phases. Every. Single. Epoch. First the model learns from your actual examples, then it explores variations through RL. Rinse and repeat. The results? My 0.6B parameter model learned my custom and thinking format in 3 epochs instead of 12. It handles new data as it arrives without restarting training. And it actually understands what it's doing instead of just pattern matching. This isn't some theoretical framework – I built this because I needed it. My training data grows by 200 examples per hour, I have strict formatting requirements, and I'm running on limited hardware. Traditional methods failed me. ASRL didn't.

Network Intrusion Detection Using Machine Learning: A Comparative Study of Logistic Regression, KNN, and Random Forest

Authors: Tejashree H Y, Komala R

Abstract: Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) play a critical role in defending networks against unauthorized access and cyber threats. This paper presents a real-time, web-enabled NIDS built using machine learning techniques to effectively identify and categorize network-based attacks. The system is trained on the NSL-KDD dataset, a refined alternative to earlier datasets, addressing issues like redundancy and class imbalance. We implement and evaluate three supervised learning algorithms—Logistic Regression, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Random Forest. The workflow includes comprehensive preprocessing, class balancing, and hyperparameter tuning via grid search with cross-validation. Among the models tested, Random Forest achieved the highest detection performance, showing excellent accuracy with minimal false positives. While KNN also produced reliable results, it was comparatively slower. Logistic Regression delivered quick and interpretable outcomes but struggled with complex intrusion patterns. This work contributes a practical, browser-accessible NIDS platform that brings together machine learning capabilities and real- time threat detection.

Exploration Of Thought Spigettification And Cognitive Deformation Around A Kerr-Type Singularity: A Theoretic Quantum–Field Model For Schizophrenia And Dissociative Identity Disorder

Authors: Patrick James McKenna Jr., Andres Barahona Contreras

Abstract: We introduce thought spigettification, a speculative quantum–field–theoretic model mapping extreme stress responses in neuronal microtubule networks to Kerr-analogue spacetime defor- mations. A mental Hilbert space of coherent microtubule “qubits” couples to three scalar fields—BraeQuintessence, BraeHiggs, and the Standard Model Higgs—producing a deformation operator D(r, θ) that stretches and reconfigures mental superpositions. Positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia arise as over-amplified and suppressed eigenmodes; dissociative iden- tity disorder emerges from metastable multi–well potentials. We formalize emotional eigenval- ues, derive coupled field equations, analyze stability regimes, and propose electrophysiological and imaging biomarkers. Finally, we outline therapeutic “despigettification” via inversion of scalar–field dynamics.

Crime Rate Prediction And Analysis System

Authors: Asst. Prof. Ami Rasiklal Tank, Shivam Bhart, Sanyam Shah, Shreyanshu Das, Subendu Dubey

Abstract: The increase in data and improvements in machine learning (ML) offer a unique opportunity for public safety functions. This paper presents a review of a Crime Rate Prediction and Analysis System that utilizes government crime data to visualize and predict trends, classify geographical areas, and provide tools for public-facing use. The system is unique because it uses a well-defined, highly functional and well-designed web application, alongside a robust ML backend. The web application contains an interactive, and profile-based, color-coded map, that ranks the severity of crime in districts based on their total IPC crimes, allows for dynamic filtering of crime type, and the ability to search by district. The system also possesses an "AI Suggest" button, a critical, innovative, and unique feature which moves beyond analytical reporting and provides personalized, context-specific recommendations for public safety, thus improving public awareness. This review discusses the system's architecture, uses as both an operational mechanism for law enforcement decision making, and for citizen engagement, ethical concerns around predictive policing, and suggests next steps for deploying this kind of technology. One of the key and innovative features of this system, is the "AI Suggest" module, which goes beyond traditional analytical reports, and produces personalized, context-specific and, tailored safety recommendations for the public, thus bridging the gap between publicly available data, and actionable public knowledge. This review explores the dual-value proposition of the system as a decision-support system for law enforcement agencies (LEAs) to maximize resource allocation, patrol routes, and operational planning, as well as providing transparency for the citizens with personalized risk assessment and safety recommendations. In addition, this paper discusses considerations inherent in such systems, including a rigorous examination of the significant ethical implications that accompany such systems, such as algorithmic bias amplification, data integrity, and societal impacts, as well as ways to ensure ethical mitigation of these effects. Ultimately, this review contends that the system is a meaningful step forward in predictive policing technology, as it has the potential to create a more collaborative, informed, and proactive approach to urban public safety if it is implemented with strict ethical responsibility and oversight.

 

 

Guarding Minds: Addressing LLM Hallucinations For Reliable School Education

Authors: Atharva Birthare

Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have rapidly permeated educational spaces, offering tools for lesson preparation, doubt clarification, and content generation. However, their tendency to hallucinate—producing confident but inaccurate, irrelevant, or fabricated information—poses critical challenges for both teachers and students. This study employs assumed survey data from 120 teachers and 300 students to analyze awareness, trust, and coping strategies regarding hallucinations. The results highlight a significant awareness gap between teachers and students, with students more vulnerable to unverified reliance on LLMs. Four types of hallucinations—factual, intrinsic, extrinsic, and amalgamated—are discussed, along with practical mitigation strategies suitable for classroom contexts. This paper also provides graphical representations of awareness, trust, and coping strategies and concludes with recommendations for hallucination-aware pedagogy and future research directions.

Block Bazaar: NFT And Smart Contract Driven E-Commerce Platform

Authors: Rekha Parashuram Pujari, Akshitha Katkeri, Pallavi C V, Namitha R, Pratyusha C

Abstract: BlockBazaar is this new decentralized marketplace thing that mixes NFT trading with regular e-commerce stuff. It runs on Ethereum smart contracts and has live auctions that work across different devices. You log in using MetaMask wallets, which keeps things pretty secure from the start. Access levels depend on your role in the system, you know how that goes.The security side uses hardened smart contract patterns to block common attacks like reentrancy issues or front- running scams. Every transaction gets recorded publicly through blockchain explorers, so there's full visibility into what's happening. The whole setup cuts out a lot of traditional cloud services while keeping user privacy tight. Testing shows these decentralized platforms can actually handle enterprise-grade security requirements without slowing things down. Response times stay quick even during peak usage, which matters for real-world shopping scenarios. Users get familiar interfaces that don't sacrifice blockchain's core benefits like permanent records and trustless transactions. The key takeaway here is that hybrid systems can bridge Web3 tech with conventional e-commerce needs effectively. Performance metrics match centralized competitors while maintaining cryptographic proof of ownership for digital assets.

Green Innovation: Leveraging Convolutional Neural Networks For Enhanced Biogas Production From Hybrid Napier Grass And Co-Digestion Processes

Authors: Salman Zafar, Srinivas Kasulla, S J Malik, Gaurav Kathpal, Anjani Yadav

Abstract: Optimal biogas production remains a critical step in increasing renewable energy output from biomass resources. Hybrid Napier Grass is one of the promising substrates to produce biogas, mainly due to its high yield potential and adaptability, though achieving optimal output in this case still lags due to the variability of substrates, nutrient imbalance problems, and the complexity of co-digestion processes of various materials such as cattle slurry and chicken manure. For the first time in this study, CNN will be used as an optimization approach to condition anaerobic digestion, in which parameters are tuned in real-time to get the maximum yields of biogas. With an exhaustively prepared dataset of the Napier Grass and its co-substrates, CNN models are developed for inferring substrate composition, moisture, and nutrient ratios in real-time. Some key findings from the experimental results include: Accuracy of the CNN model reaches 100% on training data by about epoch 9, but the validation accuracy plateaued at 83.33%, which is overfitting, capturing of training-specific noise-affecting generalization to unseen data. Validation accuracy and loss stabilize around epoch ranges 10-20, but the training loss continued to decrease, demonstrating the power of the CNN in learning the training data. The validation loss of the model was also improving gradually but at a diminishing rate, which indicated some generalization of the current architecture of the dataset. This work can stand as a testament for unlocking optimization through CNNs in biogas production processes; this research has already shown an increase up to 20% more than conventional methods. Of course, further refinements will be needed for generalization purposes, but the AI-driven approach represents a significant advance in optimization and supports scalable and sustainable biogas development in bioenergy. This proposed CNN model was theoretically efficient and superior as far as classification accuracy in predicting biogas production was concerned, with an accuracy of 83.33% with consistent improvement across training rounds and moderate time complexity compared to the traditional models discussed above; thus, it will become a competitive tool for optimizing process parameters and improving the operational decisions to maximize biogas yield.

How Global Conflicts Shape Consumer Behavior : A Marketing Study Of The Russia-Ukraine War

Authors: Devansh Dubey

Abstract: Armed conflicts not only reshape geopolitics but also alter consumer decision-making, loyalty, and market dynamics. The Russia–Ukraine war (2022–present) created one of the largest modern disruptions in consumer markets, as more than 1,000 multinational corporations—including globally recognized names such as McDonald’s, Starbucks, Coca-Cola, Nike, and IKEA—suspended or terminated operations in Russia. This mass withdrawal effectively transformed Russia into a live case study of forced market adaptation, as everyday consumption habits were abruptly destabilized. This paper examines how Russian consumers responded to the disappearance of these global brands, with attention to substitution choices, price-versus-prestige trade-offs, and the growth of local and Asian alternatives. Drawing on secondary data from Statista, Euromonitor, Reuters, and Yale CELI, the study traces shifts in consumer sentiment, market shares, and purchasing priorities across the fast-food, retail, apparel, and beverage sectors. Findings reveal that consumer loyalty, traditionally considered durable, was highly elastic under geopolitical pressure. Russian consumers largely prioritized functionality and affordability, enabling domestic firms such as Vkusno i Tochka and Chernogolovka, as well as Chinese apparel and electronics brands, to expand rapidly. Although nostalgia for Western products persisted, pragmatic needs outweighed symbolic attachments. The study underscores the importance of adaptive strategies for marketers, showing that crises demand localization, resilient supply chains, and flexible brand positioning. For multinationals, the Russian case highlights the risks of overdependence on politically sensitive markets, while domestic players benefited from opportunities to build loyalty during a period of forced transition. Key findings of consumer behavior adaptation in Russia during the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Source: Compiled by author using secondary data from Statista(2023), Reuters(2022) and Euromonitor(2022).

Legal Awareness as A Tool for Empowerment: A Cross-Sectional Study of Graduate Students in Chandigarh

Authors: Dr. Upasna Thapliyal, Dr. Rajni Thakur

Abstract: Legal literacy and awareness are crucial components of democratic participation, access to justice, and youth empowerment. This study investigates the level of legal knowledge, attitudes toward legal institutions, and practices adopted by graduate students in Chandigarh, a city known for its strong educational base. Using a cross-sectional design, data were collected from a stratified random sample of 1,000 students across disciplines and gender through a structured questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics, including Chi-square tests, t-tests, ANOVA, and multiple regression, were employed to analyze the data. Findings reveal that while students exhibit moderate legal knowledge (mean score: 58.6/100), significant disciplinary differences persist, with law students outperforming others. Gender differences were evident in awareness of gender-specific laws, though not in overall scores. Regression analysis identified discipline and prior exposure to legal workshops as key predictors of legal literacy. The results highlight a gap between rights awareness and procedural competence, emphasizing the need for curriculum integration, legal-aid initiatives, and gender-sensitive programs. By enhancing legal literacy, higher education institutions can strengthen civic participation and empower youth to engage effectively with legal systems, thereby contributing to a more informed and just society.

Improvement The Heat Transfer Rate Of Ac Evaporator By Optimizing Materials

Authors: Ranu Parste, Deepak Solanki

Abstract: Enhancing the heat transfer rate of air conditioning (AC) evaporators is a key objective in advancing energy-efficient thermal systems. This study investigates the optimization of evaporator material selection to improve thermal performance using a Genetic Algorithm (GA)-based approach. Traditional materials like copper and aluminum are evaluated alongside advanced composites and coatings based on criteria such as thermal conductivity, cost, weight, and corrosion resistance. The Genetic Algorithm is employed to identify the optimal material configuration that maximizes heat transfer while minimizing trade-offs. Simulation results demonstrate that GA effectively converges on optimal solutions, offering a 10–20% improvement in heat transfer performance over conventional materials. The integration of GA in material selection not only enhances evaporator efficiency but also provides a scalable method for intelligent design in HVAC systems. This research highlights the potential of evolutionary algorithms in solving complex multi-parameter engineering problems in thermal system optimization.

Marketing Metamorphosis: Bridging Traditional And Digital Sales Strategies In The Tech-Driven Age

Authors: Dr. Srinivasan Gopal Chari

Abstract: From the billboard to the byte, from the handshake to the hyperlink, marketing has changed drastically in the vast theater of 21st-century business. This research article explores the dynamic juxtaposition and convergence of conventional and digital marketing and sales techniques, therefore highlighting the tectonic changes in customer involvement, campaign orchestration, and technology mediation. Influencer marketing, CRM automation, and influencer marketing as business ecosystems migrate from the analog inertia of print advertisements and field sales into the turbulent digital storm of AI-driven analytics necessitate not just adaptation but also change from the toolset perspective. This study seeks to outline the philosophical undercurrents, historical background, and technical progress that have collectively rewritten the marketing playbook, therefore acting as a compass for contemporary professionals—an intellectual ready reckoner. In its golden age, traditional marketing depended on wide brushstrokes—mass communications across stationary media like print, radio, and television. Designed to mesmerize the collective consciousness, the campaign was monologic, one-directional. Newspapers column inches, the famous tagline, the television jingle—they were the currency of credibility. Their philosophy rested on emotional resonance, persuasion, and aspirational identity. These approaches were sometimes castles constructed on sand—grand in intention but precarious in responsibility—limited capacity for feedback, and measures based more on intuition than evidence.

Novel Approach To Implementation Of Channel Estimation In 6g Spectrum By Using Noma And Artificial Intelligence Hybrid Technique

Authors: Ajay Damor, Dr Nidhi Tiwari, Professor Madhavi S Bhanwar

Abstract: The emergence of sixth-generation (6G) wireless networks demands highly efficient spectrum utilization and robust communication strategies to support ultra-reliable, low-latency, and high-capacity services. One of the critical challenges in 6G is accurate channel estimation, especially in dense user environments where spectrum resources are limited. This paper proposes a novel hybrid approach for channel estimation that integrates Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) with Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven algorithms. The NOMA framework enables simultaneous multi-user transmission within the same spectrum band, thereby enhancing spectral efficiency, while the AI-based module leverages deep learning and reinforcement learning models to perform adaptive and dynamic channel estimation under varying propagation conditions. The proposed methodology not only minimizes estimation errors but also reduces computational complexity compared to conventional estimation methods. Simulation results demonstrate significant improvements in spectral efficiency, bit error rate, and overall system throughput, validating the potential of the AI–NOMA hybrid approach for next-generation wireless networks. This work highlights the importance of intelligent channel estimation techniques in realizing the performance requirements of 6G communication systems.

Making Big Changes Stick: How A Supermarket Handled Smart Technology And Kept People Happy

Authors: MD Juman Hussan

Abstract: This paper looks at how a big Australian supermarket, Woolworths, put new smart technology (AI) into its business. We wanted to see if they followed the right steps to manage this big change. The move to use AI in things like checking stock and talking to customers (like with their chatbot, 'Olive') is a huge deal. This study uses common ideas like Kotter’s eight-step change model to see where the company did well and where they struggled. We also use the Organisational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI) idea and The Communication Diagnostic concept to check on the company's team spirit and how they talked about the changes. We found that while the smart systems made things faster and sales grew (like their online sales hitting 5.1 billion), the communication with warehouse teams caused problems, leading to disagreements. This shows that even the cleverest systems need simple, clear human leadership and a team culture that wants to learn new things (a growth mindset) to truly work well.

Testing Sustainable Material For Aerospace Application

Authors: Jagadeep Thota, Ellyssa Purdy

Abstract: Aerospace vehicles, such as a rocket, need to be light weight. They carry heavy payloads and critical flight instrumentation (avionics) which need to be protected. Typically, aerospace vehicles contain single use parts, some of which may be made of even nylon and polystyrene, that are not environmentally friendly. Such materials can harm soils and the ecosystems upon disposal. This paper looks at replacing some of these aerospace vehicle parts, mainly the parts protecting the rocket avionics, by a sustainable biodegradable material. This study looks at the performance of the rocket avionics when enclosed by such sustainable material. The work presented in this paper involves utilizing computer-aided design (CAD) modeling coupled with numerical flight simulation. The aerospace vehicle, with the sustainable material parts, is flight tested.

Sustaining Himalayan Springs Amidst The Emerging Water Crisis

Authors: Prateek Srivastava, Sandeep Dubey, Shriyanshi Singh

Abstract: The significance of spring water is fundamentally integral to the livelihood of the Himalayan population. Springs are the chief providers of drinking water for households, agricultural, and industrial applications, especially in the Himalayan region, and contribute to the ecological richness and ecosystems in the Himalayas. Despite their crucial significance, springs continue to attract minimal attention. Over the last couple of decades, a noticeable drop of about 60% in low-discharge springs has been documented. With the escalation of population growth, relentless climate change, and rapid urbanization, springs face several significant threats to their survival. There is growing evidence that the springs of the Himalayas are experiencing desiccation, a reduction in discharge, and deterioration in water quality. In the Himalayan territories, springs hold significant importance in the context of cultural and religious beliefs. They are considered purest form of water and are frequently associated with different gods, rituals, and mythologies. These springs were regarded as sacred due to their intrinsic connections to regional deities and rituals of worshipping water. Heat, glacial melting and rainfall patterns are the anticipated alterations that are projected to influence the quality & quantity of water substantially. Springs rejuvenation could offer a climate-adaptive approach benefiting the Himalayan ecosystems and livelihoods, improve water accessibility, and help to accomplish any of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Spring-shed management based on aquifer systems combines scientific knowledge, community participation and collaborative partnerships in springs revival, thereby generating policy attention on spring water across the region.

Legal and Ethical Aspect of Professional Development in Nursing

Authors: Umeh Elizabeth Egodu

Abstract: Permitting a new driver to get behind the wheel of a car requires the driver to know the laws governing driving; however, the laws do not tell the whole story. For example, what is a driver to do when entering an unprotected intersection? What governs the driver’s movement into the intersection? How does the driver account for the weather, vehicle, and road condition? What is the driver’s knowledge and experience level? Any new driver needs guidance or rules to manage the inherent risks. Inherent risk is also a part of nursing. Patients are ill; medications and treatments have benefits and adverse effects; clinical situations are undetermined, open ended, and highly variable Providing nursing care sometimes feels like the new driver navigating that unprotected intersection. As with the new driver, education and standards provided by laws and regulations designed to protect the public provide guidance in nursing practice. Nursing requires specialized knowledge, skill, and independent decision making. The practice of nursing ivolves behaviour, attitude and judgement, and physical and sensory capabilities in the application of knowledge, skills, and abilities for the benefit of the client. Nursing careers take widely divergent paths – practice focus varies by setting, by types of clients, by different disease, therapeutic approach or level of rehabilitation. Burses work at all points of service in the health care system (sheets, 1996).

Authors: Mr. Atharv Antaram Gavali, Ms. Antara Sandip Hire, Ms. Arpita Shankar Gaikwad, Ms. Shruti Ramesh Mandale, Mrs. R. V. Shinde (Guide)

 

Abstract: Public transport is essential for mobility, especially in small and developing cities with limited private transport options. However, issues like unpredictable bus arrivals, long wait times, poor route information, and lack of real-time updates undermine its reliability and efficiency. This project proposes a Real-Time Public Transport Tracking System using GPS, mobile apps, and cloud-based data management. The system tracks the live location of public vehicles and provides updates via a passenger mobile app and display boards at bus stops. Commuters can view estimated arrival times (ETA), select optimal routes, and receive alerts on delays or route changes. Transport authorities benefit from backend monitoring, enabling real-time tracking, data-driven scheduling, and improved resource allocation. The system aims to reduce wait times, enhance commuter convenience, and increase public transport adoption. In the long term, it supports traffic decongestion and promotes sustainable urban mobility.

Local Event Finder

Authors: Prof. Arunesh Pratap Singh, Divyang Rajput, Shubham Yadav, Himanshu Jena, Meet Hadiya

Abstract: Events are vital for strengthening cultural, educational, and professional connections within communities, yet smaller gatherings often suffer from poor visibility and outdated promotion methods. Traditional approaches such as posters and scattered social media posts rarely provide real-time updates or smooth booking options, making event discovery difficult for attendees and limiting reach for organizers. To overcome these challenges, the Local Event Finder platform was developed using the MERN stack. It enables users to search for nearby events, navigate to venues, receive instant updates, and book tickets securely, while giving organizers tools to manage and promote their events effectively. Core features include geolocation-based filtering, secure payments, and real-time notifications. Built with the Agile Scrum approach, the system evolved through iterative feedback and testing. A pilot study showed a 40% rise in attendance and greater engagement compared to traditional methods. With innovations like hyper-local targeting, role-based authentication, and WebSocket-based updates, the platform demonstrates its potential to improve event visibility, streamline management, and deliver a better user experience.
