(Book Rivers, 2026) Mirza Mohd Shadab, Mohammed Asim
This chapter presents the modelling of Synchronous generators and simulation of Dynamic performance. It has been prepared in line with the requirement of exchange of technical connection data for the purpose of interconnection of the generation plant with ISTS along with exchange of accurate modelling data. Availability of accurate modelling data shall enable assessment of compliances of applicable regulations, adequacy of power system & assessment of equipment performance for secure and reliable interconnection with the ISTS Grid. Technical connection data to be furnished by thermal/ hydro/ nuclear generating stations including pumped storage projects (psp) for signing of connectivity agreement for interconnection with the inter-state transmission system.
Artificial Intelligence and Drones: Revolutionizing Smart Farming through Precision and Automation
(CRC Press (Taylor & Francis Group), 2025) Anum Kamal, Faiyaz Ahmad, Aisha Kamal
As the global population continues to grow, ensuring food security and sustainable agricultural practices becomes increasingly vital. In the fields of precision agriculture and smart farming, emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud computing have enormous potential. These technological breakthroughs facilitate real-time data collection, including the acquisition of high-resolution crop imagery via Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Harnessing these innovations has the potential to reshape agriculture profoundly, ushering in swifter decision-making processes, cost reductions, and heightened yields. This transformative advancement aligns seamlessly with the principles of precision agriculture, optimizing practices in terms of appropriate locations, timings, and quantities. This chapter aims to explore the transformative role of AI and drones in the field of smart farming. It will provide an in-depth analysis of how these technologies have revolutionized farming practices, enhanced efficiency, and improved crop yields. It will highlight the benefits of using AI and drones, such as early disease detection, optimized resource management, reduced environmental impact, and increased profitability. Additionally, the chapter will address the challenges and future prospects of integrating AI and drone technologies into smart farming systems.
Rights on Paper, Realities at Work: A Legal Perspective on Women’s Professional Advancement
(INTEGRITY EDUCATION INDIA, 2026) Wasim Ahmad
India has constructed an extensive legal framework for women's workplace rights spanning constitutional guarantees, equal remuneration legislation, sexual harassment law, maternity protections, and corporate board mandates. Yet India ranked 129th out of 146 countries in the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Index 2024, with women constituting only 37 percent of the labour force and contributing just 18 percent of GDP. This chapter interrogates the structural distance between legislative intent and lived reality for Indian working women.
The chapter proceeds through four analytical layers. First, it maps the constitutional and international normative foundations Articles 14, 15, 19(1)(g), 21, and 39(d) alongside India's obligations under CEDAW and ILO Convention No. 100. Second, it traces judicial evolution from the formalistic reasoning of Air India v. Nargesh Meerza (1981) to the substantive equality frameworks in Lt. Col. Nitisha v. Union of India (2021). Third, it subjects each major statute to critical scrutiny: the Equal Remuneration Act's definitional narrowness that excludes equal-value comparisons; the Maternity Benefit Amendment Act's employer-only cost structure that empirical data links directly to job losses, the Companies Act's single-woman-director minimum that produces tokenism without substantive board power; and the POSH Act's chronic non-compliance record. Fourth, it Identifies two emerging frontiers entirely unaddressed by existing law the exclusion of gig workers from all protective frameworks, and the absence of any regulatory mechanism governing algorithmic bias in Al-assisted recruitment. The chapter concludes with six targeted legislative and enforcement recommendations grounded in comparative analysis and Indian empirical evidence.
Protecting The Digital Child: Consent, Safety, And Regulatory Obligations Under The Dpdpa, 2023
(Book Rivers, 2026) Wasim Ahmad
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (hereinafter DPDPA or the Act ) represents India s first comprehensive legislative response to the challenges of personal data governance in the digital age. While the Act introduces certain child-specific provisions, it falls considerably short of offering a robust, rights- based framework for the protection of children in the digital ecosystem. This chapter undertakes a critical doctrinal, comparative, and policy analysis of three interrelated dimensions of child data protection: the consent mechanism under the DPDPA, the regulatory obligations imposed upon data fiduciaries in relation to children s online safety, and the significant legislative gaps that leave the digital child inadequately protected. Drawing upon constitutional jurisprudence, comparative frameworks from the European Union, the United States, and the United Kingdom, and the normative standards of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the chapter argues that the DPDPA treats child data protection as a peripheral concern rather than a foundational imperative. It calls for the enactment of a dedicated children s online safety and data protection legislation, the institutionalisation of a Children’s Digital Rights Commissioner, and the adoption of age-appropriate design standards as legally binding obligations in India.
Cytokines and insulin sensitivity
(Elsevier, 2026) Fariya Khan, Salman Akhtar, Ajay Kumar
Cytokine and insulin sensitivity plays crucial role in chronic inflammatory disorder known as Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Here we highlights the evidences of association of cytokines and insulin sensitivity as facilitators of abnormal immune response that leads to hyperglycemia, cardiovascular risk, autoimmune diseases, obesity and renal dysfunction issues. Cytokines are proteins that behave as messenger to prevent inflammation in the body but inadequate regulation can cause inflammation in the body. We will be discussing about classification of cytokines and their significance as well as understanding the objective of quantification of it in order to get broader prospects of the levels required for an effective immune response. However, it is very challenging to measure the levels of insulin and ongoing research in the quantification section is in investigation stage. Similarly, adequate insulin production facilitates balanced metabolism and therefore insulin sensitivity can spark the onset of diabetes and other metabolic disorder. Additionally, we will discuss about the molecular mechanism and factors of insulin sensitivity and how some organs do not respond to insulin thus in turn it suppress the functions of glucose in the body. Furthermore, we will elaborate about the status of molecular biomarker of cytokines and how they play an important part in the pathogenesis of Type 2 diabetes. So, here we will discuss different therapeutic strategies and perspectives to improve insulin sensitivity and inflammatory effects of cytokines. This chapter explores the significance, role, classification and how targeting cytokines and insulin sensitivity can help in the scope of development of new drugs that could benefit in the regulation of Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
