A Conceptual Review of Qillate Ifraze Darqia (Hypothyroidism) and Its Correlation with Sue Mizaj Barid
Abstract: Qillate Ifraze Darqia (Hypothyroidism) is the most common disease of thyroid gland. Iodine deficiency continues to be a major contributor to hypothyroidism worldwide. The condition is the most common, impacting up to 40/10 000 women and 6/10 000 men annually. In traditional Unani literature, Qillate Ifraze Darqia is not explicitly described. However, ancient Greco– Arab scholars have given ample description of Sue Mizaj Barid and mentioned its Asbab, Alamaat wa …

Obesity (Siman-E-Mufrat) in Greeco-Arabic Perspective: A Review
Abstract: Tibb-e-Unani has been rendering services to the mankind for thousands of years. This healing art is one of the oldest and well organized systems of medicine. The Greeks were the first to recognize Siman-e-mufrat (obesity) as a medical disorder. It is evident that Buqrat (460–377 BC) was first who described obesity (siman-e-mufrat) in his famous book Fusool-e-Buqrat. Buqrat understood that siman-e-mufrat leads to infertility and early death. He was also …

Land Use Planning and Urban Flood Resilience: A GIS-Based Assessment of Master Plan for Delhi in the National Capital Territory of India
Abstract: Rapid and unplanned urbanisation replacing the natural flood absorbing formations has caused socio-economic disruption and vulnerability. Urban flooding has become a major problem in India’s National Capital Region. Unchecked urban growth in the lowlands exacerbates flooding and inadequate drainage systems are unable to cope with the rising rainfall. We need to move from a focus on disaster response to managing floods and building flood resilience. Land use planning is an …

The Doomsday Clock and Global Health: A Medical Sociological Analysis of Existential Threats to Human Civilization From 1947 to 85 Seconds to Midnight Situating the Biosocial Crises of the Twenty-First Century
Abstract: Since its inception in 1947, the Doomsday Clock maintained by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has functioned as a socially constructed barometer of civilisational risk, translating complex scientific, geopolitical, and technological threats into a universally legible symbolic chronometry. As of January 2026, the Clock stands at 85 seconds to midnight, its most alarming position in nearly eight decades of operation. This article adopts a medical sociological framework, drawing on …

Evaluation of Polymer-Ceramic Scaffolds for Dental Bone Regeneration
Abstract: Looking at the aspects of periodontal disease, traumatic injury, congenital defects, and the preparation of implant sites, the deficiency of dental bone, and its reconstruction, which has been simplified by many by oral and maxillofacial surgery, has proven to be a very hard and tedious task. There are many solutions which are clinically accepted, as the use of auto, allo, and xenografts, very common practices in surgery, but they come …

The Impact of AI-Driven Real-Time Feedback Systems on Students’ Self-Regulated Learning and Academic Persistence in Secondary Schools, Nigeria
Abstract: Self-regulated learning (SRL) is essential for secondary school students to achieve academic success and lifelong learning competencies, particularly in contexts requiring greater learner autonomy. This expository article examines the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven real-time feedback systems to support SRL processes—planning (forethought), monitoring (performance/control), and reflection—within Nigerian secondary education. Grounded in Zimmerman’s cyclical SRL model and Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory, the paper conceptualises AI tools (e.g., intelligent tutoring systems, learning …

Reproductive Challenges in Tropical Dairy Cows: Exploring Stressors and Mitigation Strategies for Sustainable Development
Abstract: Reproductive efficiency in tropical dairy cows is often compromised by a range of environmental, nutritional, and management-related stressors. These stressors, including heat, humidity, poor-quality feed, disease, and parasitic infestations, significantly affect fertility, leading to prolonged calving intervals, reduced conception rates, and increased reproductive disorders. Heat stress, in particular, has been identified as a primary factor influencing reproductive performance by disrupting hormonal balance, reducing feed intake, and impairing overall cow health. …

A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Teaching Program on Knowledge Regarding Pediatric Orthopedic Disorders Among Mothers of Children Under Two Years Old at Selected Areas of Hubballi–Dharwad
Abstract: Pediatric orthopedic health plays an important role in the proper growth and development of children. Any deficit in orthopedic function may lead to delayed growth and physical deformities. Mothers of children under two years of age are the primary caregivers, and their knowledge regarding pediatric orthopedic disorders is essential for early identification and timely referral for treatment. The present study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of a structured teaching …

Assessment of Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Regarding Ankle Sprain Management Among Sports Persons
Abstract: Ankle sprain is a frequently occurring musculoskeletal injury among athletes and sports participants. If not treated properly, it can result in pain, joint instability, and decreased athletic performance. The present study was conducted to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) of sports persons regarding the management of ankle sprain. A descriptive cross-sectional research design was used, involving 100 participants selected through convenience sampling. Data were gathered using a structured …

Detection and Assessment of Structural Weaknesses in Existing Offshore Structures
Abstract: The structural integrity and serviceability of existing structures may deteriorate over time due to aging, environmental exposure, material degradation, overloading, inadequate maintenance, and repeated operational stresses. Early identification of structural deficiencies is essential for preventing progressive damage and ensuring safe and reliable performance throughout the service life of a structure. This study presents a systematic structural condition assessment of an existing structure using visual inspection and non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques. …

Performance-Based Fire Safety Assessment and Optimization of a Mixed-Use High-Rise Building Using NBC 2016, Hydraulic Adequacy, and Evacuation Time Analysis
Abstract: This paper presents a performance-based fire safety assessment of a simulated 92 m mixed-use high-rise building containing parking, commercial, office, and residential occupancies. Rather than relying only on prescriptive compliance, the study evaluates whether the installed fire protection strategy can maintain tenable conditions and deliver adequate suppression performance during a credible design fire. Using the base data supplied for the Metro Central Tower case, the work determines fire load density, …

IS-Aligned Strategic Evaluation of Fire Protection Systems for Improving Fire Safety in Mixed-Occupancy High-Rise Buildings
Abstract: This paper presents a substantially reworked Indian-context evaluation of fire protection systems in a 14-building high-rise sample from Indore. The study reuses the original field dataset but replaces the earlier code mix with an explicitly IS-aligned and NBC-oriented analytical framework. Physical observation, document review and interview inputs were screened against requirements related to means of egress, compartmentation, fire detection and alarm, hydrants and hose reels, extinguishers, emergency lighting, smoke control, …
