Rare Male Genital Disorders: Small Penis Syndrome, Peyronie’s Disease, Penile Mondor’s Disease, And Diphallia - AI in Andrology from Etiological Profiling to ML-Driven Genomic Therapeutics
type: item
description: These are rare male reproductive diseases such as Small Penis Syndrome (SPS), Peyronie's Disease (PD), Penile Mondor's Disease (PMD), and Diphallia that have posed many difficulties in diagnosis and management due to their heterogeneous presentation. In this study, a novel Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered precision andrology approach combining clinical, radiological, histological, and genomics data for diagnosis and management is proposed. A retrospective observational study on 240 participants was done using Supervised Machine Learning (ML)algorithms including Logistic Regression (LR), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF),XGBoost, and LightGBM. SHAP Explainable AI (XAI) was used to select important predictors. Of all the testedmodels, XGBoost produced the best classification accuracy (97.4%), with a ROC-AUC of 0.989, while theaccuracy of gene-targeted therapeutic prediction was 97.2%. The three main biomarkers identified were fibrosisgrade, penile curvature angle, and expression level of COL1A1 genes. Statistical hypothesis testing showed thatartificial intelligence-based genomic analysis improves disease detection and individualized treatmentrecommendations (p < 0.001). It can be stated that integration of XAI with genomics is a reliable approach toprecision andrology. These results indicate that intelligent clinical decision support systems could be developedfor the treatment of rare male genital diseases in the future.

title: Early-Onset Alopecia in Gen Z And Gen Alpha: Pathologies, Biomarkers, Etiological Insights, AI-Enhanced Hair Restoration (FUE, FUT, Hair Patches), and Machine Learning–Driven Psychosocial Management in Youth
description: Early onset alopecia has gained momentum as a dermatologic issue amongst Generation Z and Generation Alpha owing to its rising incidence and considerable clinical as well as psychosocial ramifications. In this review, we will be summarizing the latest human clinical evidence available on the epidemiology, classification, etiology, biomarkers, AI-assisted hair restoration, and psychosocial management using machine learning of early onset alopecia. These studies indicate that genetic predisposition, hormonal imbalance, nutritional deficiency, autoimmune conditions, stress, environment, and behavior contribute significantly to this condition. Recent developments in biomarkers, artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning, and precision dermatology have helped with earlier detection and classification of this disease along with a better treatment plan. Human clinical evidence has also proved the efficacy of FUE, FUT, hair patches, PRP, LLLT, exosomes therapy, and combination therapies for hair restoration. In addition to these, various applications of machine learning technology, including digital counseling, chatbots, and individual prediction of mental health issues, have also been considered in the context of overcoming the psychological burden linked to the development of early-onset alopecia. While promising in terms of their potential, these technologies still face problems of standardization, long-term validation, and proper ethical application. To conclude, this review stresses the need for combining biomarkers, artificial intelligence, regenerative therapy, and psychosocial interventions to create a patient-tailored management strategy for early-onset alopecia.

Ongoing Impact of El Niño on India’s Socio-Epidemiological Landscape: Climate-Induced Health Vulnerabilities, Resource Scarcity, and Community Resilience
type: item
description: El Niño, recurring ocean-atmospheric climatic events associated with abnormal warming of the sea surface temperatures in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, are critical drivers of global and regional climate, including the Indian monsoon. This review presents a critical appraisal of its current socio-epidemiological impacts in India, with a focus on climate-induced health risks, resource constraints and adaptive capacities. It integrates knowledge on El Niño-related climatic disruptions and their downstream effects on disease burden, malnutrition and socio-economic burden, along with community-based and institutional adaptation. The study suggests that El Niño-related climate extremes - such as extreme heatwaves, droughts and erratic precipitation patterns - lead to an increase in the incidence of vector-borne and water-borne diseases, along with malnutrition. In addition, water and food scarcity exacerbates socio-economic disparities, particularly among rural and urban slum dwellers, women and children. While progress has been made in climate-proofing agriculture, water management and public health, there remain significant gaps in integrated climate-health research, policy translation at the local level, and epidemiological surveillance. The review suggests a multi-disciplinary and holistic approach is needed to curb the socio-epidemiological effects of El Niño in India.

Knowledge Management Practices in Academic Institutions: A Library Science Perspective
type: item
description: Knowledge Management (KM) has become an essential strategic approach for academic institutions operating in a knowledge-driven environment. Academic libraries, as central knowledge hubs, play a critical role in facilitating knowledge creation, organization, storage, sharing, and utilization. The present study investigates knowledge management practices in academic institutions from a library science perspective, focusing on technological adoption, knowledge-sharing mechanisms, and policy frameworks. A descriptive quantitative research design was employed using a structured questionnaire administered to 120 respondents, including librarians, faculty members, and research scholars from five academic institutions. The findings indicate strong implementation of digital repositories and automation systems, reflecting effective knowledge storage practices. However, moderate scores in knowledge sharing and policy support highlight gaps in structured KM strategies. Correlation analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between ICT adoption and KM effectiveness (r = 0.68, p < 0.05). Institutions with formal KM policies demonstrated higher knowledge-sharing efficiency compared to those without structured frameworks. The study concludes that while technological infrastructure is well established, comprehensive knowledge management requires integration of policy support, collaborative culture, and strategic leadership. The research contributes to the field of Library and Information Science by emphasizing the evolving role of academic libraries as dynamic knowledge centers within higher education institutions.

Silent Threat of Nipah Virus (NIV) as a Re-Emerging zoonosis: Overview on Evolution and Impact, Pathogenesis, Transmission, and Molecular Mechanisms of NIV Entry and Replication
type: item
description: Nipah virus (NiV) is one of the emerging and deadly zoonotic virus threats to animal health, livestock production and ecological stability because of its complicated modes of transmission and serious disease consequences. Studies on animals have determined Pteropus bats to be natural reservoirs in which the virus is held in an asymptomatic manner allowing the virus to persist and be shed into the environment, and pigs which are critical amplifying hosts allowing the virus to be easily spread in densely populated livestock systems. Hamsters and ferrets have been useful experimental animal models that show the relationship to disease progression, such as intense respiratory disease, neurological dysfunction, and extensive vascular destruction that is indicative of systemic infection. NiV uses cellular entry via special host receptors ephrin-B2 ephrin-B3, which is mediated by concerted activity of viral glycoproteins, after which efficient replication and cell-to-cell transmission causes widespread tissue damage. Moreover, the virus demonstrates high immune evasion mechanisms and disrupts host interferon activation, the adaptive immune system, and increases its virulence. Nevertheless, the presence of interspecies variation, insufficient knowledge of immune tolerance in reservoir hosts, as well as restrictions related to recreating natural ecological conditions are still the challenges of importance. This review summarizes animal experimental data on the evolution, spread, pathogenesis, and molecular pathogenesis of NiV, its effects on animal systems, and the necessity to have better surveillance, advanced biosecurity frameworks, and develop effective vaccinations and therapeutic interventions.

Laboratory-Based Learning and Academic Achievement in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology Education
type: item
description: The purpose of this research was to examine how incorporating hands-on laboratory experiences into secondary school science classes affected students' performance in physics, chemistry, and biology. Study methodology included a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest with a control group. A grand total of 120 tenth graders took part, with 60 being assigned to the experimental group and 60 to the control group. In contrast to the control group, which got more conventional lecture-based education, the experimental group learned in a laboratory setting. In order to gauge academic progress, students were given achievement exams both before and after the six-week intervention. The statistical tools used for data analysis included the independent samples t-test, standard deviation, and mean. It appears that the groups were initially equivalent, as there was no statistically significant difference in the pretest findings. On the other hand, the experimental group showed markedly improved performance in all three areas on the posttest. Students that were given the opportunity to learn in a laboratory setting showed much more improvement, according to the gain score analysis. The results indicate that students gain a better grasp of concepts, do better in school, and are more invested in their science classes when they learn in a laboratory setting. The research concludes that science classes in secondary schools should include more hands-on learning opportunities.

Curriculum Mapping for Integration of Nep-25 into Undergraduate Programs
type: item
description: This review examines how NEP 25 principles can be incorporated into undergraduate animal programs, especially veterinary, animal science and zoology programs. It shows the value of curriculum mapping in correlating courses, assessments, and learning outcomes with competency-based, outcome-driven education, with international standards, e.g. WOAH Day -1 competencies. Curriculum renewal through the use of faculty, students, and instructional experts has been found to promote both the coherence of courses and the recognition of redundancies and gaps, as well as the consistency between learning goals and evaluations. The incorporation of animal welfare, ethics, law, and underlying sciences and the application of technology-mediated learning and virtual laboratories, which promote flexible, experiential, and student-centered learning, are also highlighted in the review. Though these methods enhance professional readiness, ethical foundation, and the capacity to be multidisciplinary, there are still weak points on the path to complete achievement of the Day-1 competencies, the ability to adapt global models to the local environment, and the alignment of assessment with the mapped learning outcomes. The research highlights the fact that there is a need to conduct future studies on measuring effectiveness of curricula, creating competency frameworks that are locally relevant, incorporating new pedagogical approaches, and utilizing technology in improving learning in undergraduate animal education.

Information Behavior and Accessibility: Examining How Differently-Abled Students Use Academic Library Services in India
type: item
description: Supporting the academic success of students with disabilities in higher education requires access to inclusive information environments. The information behavior and accessibility experiences of students with disabilities utilizing academic library services in a few Indian universities were investigated in this study. 120 students' survey responses were combined with qualitative information from semi-structured interviews using a mixed-methods approach. The findings demonstrated that even while a large number of students frequently accessed library resources, their perception of accessibility remained poor, and that systemic obstacles including insufficient assistive technology, restricted physical infrastructure, and unprepared staff members had an impact on their involvement. According to statistical analysis, there were no appreciable variations in accessibility perceptions among the various types of disabilities, suggesting that difficulties were shared by all. These results emphasize the necessity of extensive institutional changes to establish academic library environments that are more welcoming and easily accessible.

Remote Laboratory Experiences in Life‑Science Teaching: Learning Gains and Accessibility
type: item
description: The remote laboratory has emerged as a ground-breaking technology in life-science education and offers relative solutions to the traditional hands-on laboratory by offering ethical, accessible and technology-driven alternatives to traditional hands-on laboratories. Through the features of virtual simulation, VR/AR, cloud-controlled microscopy, interactive modules, and live-streamed experiments all are able to use these platforms to participate in observational research, anatomy, behavioral studies, and procedural training without handling living animals. This type of experience improves conceptual knowledge, procedural proficiency and analytical ability as well as ethical consciousness without being inconsistent with the principles of rejplacement, reduction and refinement (3Rs). Remote behavioral experiments give the chance to manipulate environmental factors and to observe real-time responses of animals, which can train critical thinking and experimental design skills and train repeated practice and knowledge support with virtual dissection and 3-D anatomical models. The application of technological advancements such as gamification, adaptive learning as well as scenario-based modules impact engagement, motivation, and personal learning opportunities. Although it has some disadvantages like less tactile feedback, technical conditions, latency constraints, and lack of other collaborative functions, remote laboratories offer scalable, reproducible, and safe learning experiences to geographically dispersed or resource-constrained students. On the whole, these platforms present a sustainable, ethical, and practical remedy towards life-science education and can be improved by further developments in the form of more effective haptically enhanced feedbacks, collaborative applications and standardized evaluation systems to streamline the learning experience.

Phytochemical Profiling and Allelopathic Potential of Wild Solanaceae Species on Crop Germination
type: item
description: Phytochemical composition and allelopathy of certain varieties of wild Solanaceae plants such as Datura stramonium, Solanum nigrum, and Withania somnifera are extensively reviewed in this research for the evaluation of their ecological interactions and areas of application in sustainable agriculture. Complex phytochemical composition determined via GC-MS and LC-MS/MS determined a wide range of secondary metabolites, including alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, and phenolic compounds, which possess renowned bioactivity. Allelopathic activities were assessed by germination and seedling growth tests on representative agricultural crops, which established that the aqueous and methanolic extracts of these wild plants had both inhibitory as well as stimulatory effects dependent upon concentration and the target species. The results support the fact that these plants emit excessive amounts of allelochemicals that inhibit seed germination and its growth as evidenced by a powerful allelopathic effect. This dual role of allelopathy as a net defence of the plants and a bioherbicidal option unveils the relevance of the resourceful wild Solanaceae in reducing dependency on artificial chemicals and promoting environmentally responsible weed management methods. Finding such as these offer great benefits towards the inclusion of these species in organic and sustainable agricultural systems.

Micropropagation and Secondary Metabolite Enhancement in Endangered Leguminous Climbers
type: item
description: The growing need for plant-derived medicinal compounds has highlighted the urgency of preserving endangered medicinal plants, many of which are threatened by over-exploitation, habitat loss, and global warming. Of these, leguminous climbers such as Clitoria ternatea, Mucuna pruriens, and Abrus precatorius are of special significance owing to their high content of bioactive secondary metabolites like alkaloids, flavonoids, and terpenoids, which are in great demand in the pharmaceutical sector for their medicinal value. But the existence of these species is threatened, and thus there is a compelling need for efficient conservation measures. Micropropagation, a tissue culture technique, has also been identified as a viable option to overcome this problem by facilitating the quick, large-scale propagation of these climbers under in vitro conditions, thus providing genetic uniformity and minimizing the reliance on wild populations. In addition, improvement in optimizing micropropagation techniques not only favors sustainable propagation of these plants but also improves the production of secondary metabolites using elicitors, plant growth regulators, and environmental stresses, ultimately improving their medicinal value. This review explores different micropropagation methods and procedures to increase secondary metabolite yield in leguminous climbers, with special reference to the dual significance of these methodologies for maintaining biodiversity and fulfilling the increasing market demand for quality plant-based pharmaceutical products.
