    Enhancing Adoption and usage of Recycled C&DW Products: Stakeholder Insights and key success factors for Effective Implementation
    (International Society of Waste Management, Air and Water (ISWMAW), 2025-10-01) Kolaventi, Swarna Swetha; Thakur, Aryan Rajesh; Narain, Ahaan; Venigalla, Sanjay Gokul
    Construction & demolition(C&D) activities, generate huge quantities of waste materials. A significant portion of this material often ends up in landfills or remains unused. To address this challenge, the present study investigates the potential for reusing C&D waste (C&DW) materials in construction projects by exploring two key research questions: (i) How do stakeholder perceptions influence the adoption of recycled C&DW products (ii) What are the most critical factors that facilitate successful implementation of these materials Therefore, the current study focuses on the (i)perspectives of various stakeholders (clients, architects, contractors, and engineers) regarding the usage of C&DW products (ii)identify and prioritize factors influencing their effective adoption. Data were collected using structured questionnaires distributed across stakeholders. Statistical tests, including ANOVA, were conducted to identify significant intergroup differences. Additionally, the factors for successful usage of C&DW products in construction are analyzed using Sscore factor. The results reveal (i) There exists high variation in adoption priority (p = 1.04e-34) and unequal exposure or compliance with policy enforcement (p = 1.22e-76). (ii)Quality of recycled C&D materials (S-factor = 64.72) and an efficient supply chain (S-factor = 64.16) are top priorities for stakeholders, with awareness initiatives (S-factor = 62.88) also essential to drive acceptance and informed usage of recycled materials. The novelty of this study lies in combining stakeholder analysis with factor prioritization to inform both policy and practice. These findings provide, actionable guidance to enhance industry-wide adoption of recycled C&D materials.

    China-Africa Relations: Geopolitical Dynamics, Cultural Diplomacy, and Literary Representations in the Belt and Road Era
    (International Journal of Innovative Research In Technology (IJIRT), 2025-12) Vaishnav, Jaimine; Daniel, Supriya
    This paper examines the multidimensional character of contemporary China-Africa relations through an integrated analysis of geopolitical strategy, soft power initiatives, and literary representations. Drawing upon both academic scholarship and African literary works, the study investigates how China's engagement with Africa particularly through the Belt and Road Initiative has reshaped diplomatic, economic, and cultural landscapes across the continent. The research employs qualitative content analysis of policy documents, academic literature, and creative writing to interrogate the complex interplay between official narratives and ground-level experiences. Key findings reveal that while China's infrastructure-led approach offers alternative development pathways, it simultaneously generates anxieties around sovereignty, debt sustainability, and asymmetrical power relations. African literary voices, through works such as Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor's The Dragonfly Sea and Tendai Huchu's "The Sale," provide critical counter-narratives that complicate dominant Western and Chinese discourses. The paper concludes that China-Africa relations represent a contested terrain where African agency, though constrained by structural inequalities, continues to negotiate spaces for strategic autonomy within the evolving multipolar international system.

    Periods, platforms and purchase: the role of social media influencers in shaping menstrual product choices
    (International Journal of Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Marketing, 2025-11) Mita Mehta; Saxena, Priti; Nehal Thakuria; Sana Moid
    Purpose This study aims to investigate how social media influencers shape consumer behaviour, perceptions and purchasing decisions among young female consumers. Design/methodology/approach This study used a qualitative research design using semi-structured interviews with 17 female participants aged 18–25, selected through purposive non-random sampling. Data were analysed using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns and insights. Findings Six themes emerged from the thematic analysis, namely, awareness and discovery, trust and credibility of influencers, decision-making drivers, consumer engagement, post-purchase satisfaction and authenticity and health considerations. This reflects that influencers play a critical role in raising awareness, particularly about lesser-known and sustainable products. Participants valued authenticity, transparency and relatable content. However, concerns regarding paid promotions and overhyped products exaggerated trust. Influencer credibility, affordability and alignment with consumer values significantly impacted purchase decisions. Originality/value This study adds to the expanding literature on influencer marketing by concentrating on the overlooked area of menstrual health. It provides insights into how influencers serve as informal educators and influence consumer attitudes towards intimate health products, particularly among young women in India.

    TRADING THE GREEN FUTURE: STRATEGIC COMPETITION IN ENVIRONMENTAL GOODS
    (A GLOBAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES, 2025-11) Karnik, Neha
    The current geo-politics revolve around environment friendly goods. Countries strategic trade policy is a mix of competition, cooperation, climate commitments, building a strong network of supply chain management with access to technology and raw materials. Countries are competing to dominate green technology products announcing subsidies to domestic green industries. The objective of this paper is to assess trade in environment friendly goods. There is no universal consensus on a list to identify specific environment friendly products. However, there are various attempts to identify environment friendly goods, also popularly known as green goods. This paper uses a composite list of the APEC lists of environmental goods. It has 130 green goods at HS 6-digit Classification. The study tries to analyse comparative advantage of Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (QUAD) as against China during a period from 2011 to 2024 using UNCOMTRADE database. The study This highlights China’s prime role in global green trade, with other economies making only incremental advances. The QUAD share declined from 10.07 percent to around 6–7 percent from 2011 to 2014. Japan showed slow but steady gains, while the USA and India remained marginal players. The study inferred India currently lacks revealed comparative advantage in any of the core environmental technology categories identified via APEC list. This suggests a limited presence or competitiveness in these green sectors. In contrast, countries like Japan and the US are competitively positioned in multiple environmental categories with high complexity.

    Advancing Hematological Analysis: A Challenges and Solutions in Deep Learning Based WBC Classification
    (ATLAS SkillTech University, 2025-12-19) Smita Nirkhi; Ravindra Sonavane; Vijay Kumar Joshi; Syam Prasad Guda; Manish Motghare; Patil, Shashikant
    For diagnosis of hematological diseases, the WBC plays a important role, they not only reveal infections but also related diseases, which makes it perfect biomarkers to get more information about the immune system. In our proposed research work, we had done study of most important component of WBC using deep learning approaches and shown the comparative study how it affects hematology diagnosis. It also summarizes new forms of deep learning, such as multi-modal fusion, self-supervised learning, federated learning, and lightweight AI for real-time diagnostics. The focus is on improved model generalization, preserving privacy, and clinically applicable diagnostics. In contrast to existing surveys, this paper bridges AI progress to real-world medical unmet needs, with the intent to inform researchers and practitioners about avenues to pursue when developing robust, interpretable, and scalable AI-based hematological analysis models, which together will lead to improved diagnostic workflows and ultimately better patient outcomes.
