Consumption Expenditure Inequality and Handloom Sector in Northeast India
Abstract
Handloom is the most widely established cottage industry in North East India (NE) and is widely spread throughout the region. It employs a large skilled and unskilled workforce, mainly women workers in the North East. In the present era of commercialization, the handloom sector is also witnessing changes, and many women are adopting weaving as their profession. The activity they performed during their leisure time, has now been transformed into an 8-hour job. Across India, including the North East, there has been a general trend of increasing inequality in consumption expenditure, particularly after economic reforms. This is evident in rural and urban areas, with non-food expenditures being more unevenly distributed and contributing significantly to overall inequality (Sen & Das, 2018; Subramanian & Jayaraj, 2015). The handloom sector is a crucial source of employment in Northeast India, with the region accounting for more than 65% of the total handloom households in the country. It provides livelihoods to many rural populations, especially women, who dominate the weaving occupation in this region (Devi, 2014; Goswami et al., 2017). Despite the decline in handloom weaver households in other parts of India, Northeast India has increased, highlighting its importance in the local economy (Devi, 2014). This paper attempts to probe the impacts of different dimensions of the handlooms sector of the North Eastern states on consumption expenditure inequality along with their magnitudes. The Fourth All India Handloom Census 2019-20 found that 31.45 lakh households in India are engaged in handloom activities, an increase from 27.83 lakhs in the previous census. Rural and urban areas categorize the data and factors like religion and household types. The Household Consumption Expenditure Survey (HCES) measures spending and reports inequality through the Gini coefficient. This paper examines how different Handloom census indicators affect the Gini coefficient. The analysis draws on data from the Fourth All India Handloom Census 2019-20 and the Household Consumption Expenditure Survey (HCES) 2022-23. The HCES obtained the Gini coefficient to measure inequality in consumption expenditure. Information on the handloom industry in northeast India was also sourced from the Ministry of Textiles' Census report. Multiple linear regression models were developed to achieve the paper's objectives, predicting the value of a variable based on several others. The Northeast region is emerging as a key player in the handloom sector, but women weavers face challenges from manual looms and market competition, including threats from imported materials. Designers should focus on handloom products to support this craft. In a patrilineal society, weaving empowers women, yet weak organizations hinder their rights. Mobilizing weaver groups can improve access to government schemes and markets. Sustainable cooperatives and full-time work in handlooms can enhance women's economic participation and livelihoods.

Novel Synthesis and Fabrication of CuO/RGO Composite Modified Electrode for Selective Electrochemical Determination of Environmental Pollutant Para-Aminophenol in Water and Fruit Sample
Abstract
Carbon-based nanomaterials such as graphite and their oxides have attracted extensive attention in many areas, especially in organic synthesis, electrochemistry, and catalytic chemistry. In this context, we report new eco-friendly preparation of copper oxide/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite (CuO/RGO) based para-Aminophenol (PAP) electrochemical sensor. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) and field emission scanning electron microscope study (FESEM). The electrocatalytic behavior of PAP at the surface of CuO/RGO nanocomposite on screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) were investigated in detail. Combining CuO and RGO intensifies the property and performance of the nanocomposite due to coactive effects between RGO nano-sheet and CuO nanoparticles. Herein, PAP was used as a probe to appraise the electrocatalytic activities of the CuO/RGO modified electrode. In this study, we were able to obtain a detection limit (LOD) of 0.02µM and a wide linear concentration range (LR) from 0.01µM to 478.1µM for PAP. The nanocomposite exhibits excellent and stable electrocatalytic activity towards the PAP determination.

Association Between Body Mass Index and Hypertension: An Explorative Study With Development of an Information Booklet for Hypertensive Patients in Selected Hospitals of Rajkot District
Abstract
The increasing incidence and prevalence of hypertension, especially among the younger demographic, has become a significant public health issue. Although lifestyle and dietary modifications effectively lower blood pressure and mitigate health risks, medication remains essential for many individuals. The emergence of hypertension can be attributed to multiple variables, such as obesity, elevated sodium consumption, inadequate physical exercise, tobacco use, and excessive alcohol intake. Obesity, a primary factor in hypertension, is strongly associated with Body Mass Index (BMI), becoming BMI a crucial indicator for evaluating the risk of hypertension development. This study sought to investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and hypertension in individuals with hypertension. The cohort of one hundred hypertension patients was obtained via non-probability convenience sampling. Following the establishment of rapport with the participants and the provision of a comprehensive explanation of the study's objectives, the research was conducted with their explicit agreement, both verbal and written. The body mass index (BMI) was calculated using the standard formula, which involved gathering data on blood pressure, height, weight, and belly circumference. The documentation of demographic and clinical information was conducted using standardized proformas. Descriptive and inferential statistical approaches were utilized to analyze the data. The Chi-square test yielded a value of 87.02 and a p-value of 0.003, demonstrating a substantial correlation between body mass index (BMI) and hypertension. This discovery supports the concept that BMI is significantly associated with hypertension. A correlation existed between hypertension and socio-demographic characteristics such as age, gender, occupational status, and marital status; however, no association was found between hypertension and demographic parameters including educational level, domicile, family income, or family type. Clinical factors, including dietary choices and meal frequency, were found to be associated with hypertension. No connection was identified between hypertension and concurrent diseases or cooking methods. This study's findings indicate a substantial link between body mass index (BMI) and hypertension. The study emphasizes the necessity of consistent BMI monitoring and lifestyle modifications for the prevention and management of hypertension.
Keywords : Hypertension, Body Mass Index (BMI), Obesity, Lifestyle Changes, Chi-Square Test, Socio-Demographic Variables, Clinical Variables, Hypertensive Patients, Blood Pressure.

Understanding Nanobubble–Nanoparticle Systems: Formation, Nucleation, and Submicron Interactions
Abstract
Over the last twenty years, gas-saturated liquids have drawn increasing interest due to the unexpected stability of nanobubbles observed within them. This stability challenges conventional understanding and has prompted investigations into a wide array of potential applications, particularly those involving interactions between nanobubbles and nanoparticles. This review explores the current knowledge surrounding systems where both entities coexist, which is common in many nanobubble-related technologies. We discuss key processes such as the generation of nanoparticles from nanobubbles, the initiation of nanobubbles on nanoparticle surfaces, and the interactions that occur between them. While substantial progress has been made, critical aspects—such as the precise mechanisms underlying nanobubble nucleation and the nature of nanoscale interactions—remain poorly understood. Continued research in this area is vital to deepen our theoretical insight and to harness these phenomena for practical use.

Potato Leaf Disease Detection Using Feature-Optimized Machine Learning Models
Abstract
Food security and agricultural output are seriously threatened by potato leaf diseases including Early Blight and Late Blight. Through the use of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) approaches to image processing, this work investigates the automated identification of these disorders. Two models were trained using a preprocessed dataset of potato leaf pictures from the Plant Village repository: a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and a K-Nearest Neighbours (KNN) classifier. CNN learnt features directly from raw pictures, but KNN was developed using created features retrieved via colour, texture, and form analysis. The findings indicate that while KNN provides ease of use and interpretability, its scalability is constrained and its accuracy ranges from around 70 to 80%. With accuracy ranging from 90% to 98%, CNN, on the other hand, performs noticeably better than KNN and has remarkable resilience in actual agricultural circumstances. The study demonstrates CNN's supremacy in automated, real-time disease identification and its potential for integration into drones, smartphone applications, and Internet of Things-enabled precision farming systems, providing an effective tool to support farmers in sustainable agriculture and early disease control.

AI-Powered Sustainable Supply Chains: A Machine Learning Framework for Circular Economy Transitions by 2040
Abstract
Integration of artificial-intelligence (AI) and machine-learning (ML) technologies within sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) represents a paradigm shift toward achieving circular economy (CE) objectives by 2040. This systematic literature review examines the convergence of AI-powered systems and circular supply chains through a comprehensive analysis of 170 peer-reviewed articles from Q1 Scopus-indexed journals published between 2020-2025. The study identifies critical research gaps in AI-driven circular economy transitions and proposes a novel dual-framework approach for implementing intelligent sustainable supply chains. Our findings reveal that while AI applications in supply chain optimization have increased by 300% since 2020, only 23% of current implementations specifically target circular economy principles. The research contributes by developing two innovative frameworks: (1) the AI-Circular Economy Integration Model (AI-CEIM) and (2) the Machine Learning Sustainability Assessment Framework (ML-SAF). Through structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis of 12 organizational case studies, we demonstrate that AI-powered circular supply chains can achieve 45% reduction in waste generation, 38% improvement in resource efficiency, and 52% enhancement in supply chain resilience by 2040. The study provides actionable insights for practitioners and establishes a roadmap for future research in AI-driven sustainable supply chain management.
