The Impact of the Educational and Socio-Economic Environment on Mental Wellbeing
(Book Rivers, 2026) Shujauddin Khan, Jamal Abdul Nasir Ansari, Adeel Maqbool
This study explores the influence of educational attainment and socio-economic factors on youth employment in India. Recognizing the pivotal role of youth in the nation's demographic dividend, the research aims to analyze how variables such as education level, household income, gender, and geographic location affect employment outcomes among individuals aged 15-29. Using secondary data sourced from national surveys and government reports, the study employs statistical methods to examine correlations between these factors and employment status. The findings reveal that higher education levels significantly enhance employment prospects, while socio-economic disparities-especially in rural-urban divides and gender continue to impede equitable access to job opportunities. The paper concludes with policy recommendations focused on strengthening vocational education, improving access to quality schooling, and designing targeted employment programs to bridge existing gaps. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the structural challenges in India's youth labor market and emphasizes the urgent need for inclusive development strategies.

A Brief Review on the Exploration of Nanocomposites and Their Properties Through Computational Methods for Biological Activity Evaluation
(MDPI, 2025) Nashra Fatima,Ekhlakh Veg, Tahmeena Khan
This brief review examines the application of various computational approaches to investigate the physicochemical and interfacial properties of nanocomposite systems. Density functional theory (DFT), a quantum-mechanical technique, examines the fundamental properties of nanomaterials. Molecular docking studies have also been explored to show how different biological macromolecules can interact and bind with the nanoparticles (NPs’) surface, along with the molecular dynamics (MDs) simulations, which further strengthen the docking findings. Furthermore, nanotoxicology, a comparatively less explored field, has also been introduced, providing an insight into the interactions between nanomaterials and the environment and biological systems, including the harmful consequences.
Ultrasonic-Assisted Synthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanocomposites with Substituted Thiosemicarbazide Ligands: An Overview
(MDPI, 2025) Ekhlakh Veg, Nashra Fatima, Tahmeena Khan Tahmeena Khan ScilitPreprints.orgGoogle Scholar 1
Metal oxide nanocomposites have gained significant attention due to their unique physicochemical properties and applications in biomedicine, catalysis, sensing, and environmental remediation. Among them, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) are widely studied, and functionalization with thiosemicarbazide (TSC) derivatives enhances their stability, reactivity, solubility, and biocompatibility. Ultrasonic-assisted synthesis offers an eco-friendly approach, enabling rapid nucleation, uniform dispersion, and controlled particle size while promoting efficient ligand coordination. Nanocomposites are typically characterized using various spectroscopic techniques, which confirm successful functionalization. This review highlights synthesis strategies, characterization techniques, and applications of ligand-functionalized metal oxide nanocomposites in environmental, catalytic, and biological fields.
Computational studies of (E)-chalcone and (E)-3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-one and their metal complexes
(Book Rivers, 2026) Aakash Verma, Mohammad Imran Ahmad, Tahmeena Khan
Chalcones of various aldehydes and ketones occupy a special place among organic ligands due to the various donor atoms present in them and their ability to change their denticity depending on the starting reagents and reaction conditions. Chalcones can also be easily modified by varying the parent aldehyde or ketone used for synthesis, particularly with compounds having salitional potential coordinating sites. This chapter reports the computational studies of selected chalennes. The physionchemical parameters of the synthesized ligand and complexes were calculated using Molinspiration and SWissADME, Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion and Toxicity (ADMET) properties were calculated using admetSAR. Physiochemical characteristics of synthesize ligands and their metal complexes were determined using Mol inspiration and Swiss ADME software. Properties like molecular weight topological polar surface area (TPSA), number of hydrogen bond donors and acceptors etc. were calculated to know the probable potential of the molecule. Some of them were having good bioavailability score and exhibited not more than two Lipinski's violations. In future these chalcones and their complexes can be used for biological activity evaluation.
