Abstract: Abstract: This research examines the potential of ChatGPT as an AI-facilitated learning instrument for the purpose of improving learning outcomes among IT students and comparing it with conventional s tudy techniques. As artificial intelligence becomes more a part of learning, there is need to address how such resources can be used to enhance and facilitate the learning of students. We apply mixed methods using quantitative academic performance measures and qualitative student surveys measures to assess the impact of ChatGPT on key factors of learning including understanding, retention, and engagement. The findings show that the students utilizing ChatGPT possess much greater mastery of sophisticated IT concepts as well as increased levels of motivation compared to students who utilize traditional study methods. The present study achieves the pedagogically transformative potential of AI-based learning technologies in higher education. The research provides pedagogical implications for the way the AI should best be incorporated into the curriculum towards achieving the development of a more effective and interactive learning environment for IT students.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17181767

Abstract: In this paper we provide a direct comparison of weld quality assessment methods using statistical (engineering) modeling and deep learning. Deep learning was demonstrated using Convolutional Neural Ne tworks (CNNs) for Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) welding, using statistical modeling with additional engineered features pertaining to precision, counts of defects, area ratio, and the interpretation and modelling with fairly consistent performance classification metrics from weighing each feature as it related to weld quality. While CNNs had a visual experience of more complex defects, approached automated feature extraction, and object detection with fairly good results, the difficult pathway for us was to generalize; in essence construct a model that was fairly good but continued to generalize with all the historical datasets available. The hybrid AI model represented a statistical model with an automated CNN model; and offered a more accurate, robust, and flexible model fit as it could account for some of the dynamic nature of an industrial context. The use of IoT based sensing helped facilitate being dynamic regarding assessment and predictive maintenance. Collectively our hybrid presents a foundation for smart, autonomous systems for weld inspection acknowledging Industry 4.0 standards.Download PDF

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17643152

Abstract: : Leukorrhea is a symptom rather than a disease. Both subjectively and objectively, it signifies an underlying disorder, which may be either functional or organic. While this symptom can result from a range of constitutional or systemic conditions, it typically originates from some lesion affecting the reproductive organs. The symptom can manifest at any age, including infancy, childhood, the childbearing years, the menopausal stage, and during senescence. This review article emphasizes the herbal treatment and management of the perspectives related to the ailment. Additionally, it takes into account the economic factors associated with the available medications to enhance patient compliance.Download PDF

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18234194

Abstract: The landscape of higher education in Nepal is undergoing a profound transformation, evolving from a focus on accessibility to a vision of sustainability. Online and distance learning have emerged as p ivotal tools in this transition, expanding educational opportunities while fostering environmentally responsible and institutionally resilient systems. This study explores how digital platforms, virtual classrooms, and open educational resources (OERs) contribute to inclusive access, equitable participation, and the broader sustainability goals outlined in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education). Drawing on national data, institutional policies, and thematic analysis, the research examines how Nepali universities are integrating technology to enhance learning quality, reduce geographical barriers, and promote sustainable practices. Despite significant progress, persistent challenges, such as digital inequality, limited infrastructure, and policy gaps, continue to constrain the full potential of technology-driven education. The paper concludes by advocating a holistic and context-sensitive approach where accessibility forms the foundation and sustainability defines the future of higher education in Nepal.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18438177

Abstract: Biomedical waste (BMW) is a critical global concern due to its infectious, hazardous, and non-biodegradable nature. Traditional disposal methods like incineration and landfilling have proven inadequat e due to their environmental and health hazards. In recent years, nanotechnology—particularly engineered nanoparticles (ENPs)—has emerged as a promising tool for the efficient degradation and detoxification of biomedical waste. This review explores the applications of various ENPs in biomedical waste degradation, focusing on their mechanisms, efficiency, challenges, and future directions.Download PDF

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18438567

Abstract: The study was aimed to determine the efficacy of platelet rich fibrin (PRF), Ozonated olive oil and BlueM Gel application on early wound healing following gingivectomy/gingivoplasty procedures. Method and materials: In this split-mouth study gingivectomy/gingivoplasty procedures performed on 5 patients. The postoperative PRF, Ozonated olive oil and BlueM gel applied areas were compared with control group. The clinical parameters were measured such as: plaque index, gingival index, periodontal probing depth and bleeding on probing at baseline, after IPT & 30 day. The healing of wound determined with H2O2 test, VAS score for pain & LTH index on days 0, 7, 14 & 28th days. Results: On intragroup comparison of PI, GI, PPD, BOP on group1, group2, group3 & group4 shows significant differences in all the four groups at baseline, after IPT and day 30. But on intergroup comparison shows non-significant differences among the four groups at different time intervals; Whereas, VAS, LTH and H2O2 showed significant differences on group1 and group3 showed better results on postoperative days 8, 15 & 30. Conclusion: PRF releases various growth factors and not causes any side effects. Other side ozonated olive oil has antioxidant properties as well as accelerates wound healing, reduced postoperative pain and faster wound healing.Download PDF

Abstract: Developing a novel pharmaceutical product is a lengthy and resource-intensive undertaking, marked by substantial failure rates and rigorous regulatory supervision. Spanning typically 10 to 15 years an d costing billions of dollars per successful drug, the process requires navigating a carefully managed pipeline of distinct phases: Clinical Trials -from discovery to launch (Phases I-III), Regulatory Review, and Post-Market Surveillance (Phase IV). This article provides a comprehensive, stage-by-stage analysis of the pharmaceutical product development (PPD) lifecycle, detailing the scientific, regulatory, and financial milestones required to translate a scientific finding into a safe, effective, and commercially viable medicine. Furthermore, it addresses the critical challenges, including the "productivity crisis" and evolving regulatory landscape, and discusses new trends that are shaping this vital industry.Download PDF

Abstract: Conference management systems are critical to the efficient submission, reviewing, and decision-making process in academic conferences. Among the popular systems, Microsoft's Conference Management Too lkit (CMT) and EasyChair are two widely used tools that assist conference organizers, reviewers, and authors. This research presents a comparative analysis of CMT and EasyChair along three important dimensions: usability, feature set, and user satisfaction. Both systems were evaluated by formal questionnaires and interviews of authors, reviewers, and conference organizers who have used both systems for real settings. Strengths and weaknesses in interface, reviewer assignment, submission workflow, and communication efficiency are revealed by the analysis. Both systems are functionally adequate, although CMT has a cleaner interface than EasyChair, which is also more flexible and customizable. Satisfaction differed by role and task complexity, and organizers preferred CMT for administrative ease while reviewers preferred the review management capabilities of EasyChair. The findings provide practical insights for conference committees choosing management software and informing them of broader discussion on how to enhance digital platforms for the organization of academic events.
