DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.13501
Abstract: This study focused on the development and evaluation of sinigang-flavored chips, a novel snack inspired by the Filipino sour soup, sinigang. The research aimed to formulate chips using three protein-0based treatments: Treatment A (Pork-Based), Treatment B (Shrimp-Based), and Treatment C (Fish-Based), and to assess their sensory qualities, overall acceptability, shelf-life stability, microbial safety, and nutritional composition. An experimental-developmental design was employed, integrating natural sinigang flavors with tamarind extract and traditional souring agents into a starch-based chip mixture with the designated protein source. The dough was shaped, dried, and fried to achieve consistent crispness, then evaluated by ten semi-trained panelists for appearance, aroma, taste, and texture using a 9-point hedonic scale. General acceptability was assessed by 100 consumer respondents. Kruskal-Wallis tests and ANOVA were applied to determine significant differences among treatments. Results showed that Treatment C (Fish-Based) achieved the highest ratings for appearance and texture, described as extremely appealing and extremely crunchy, while Treatment A (Pork-Based) led in taste and aroma, rated as extremely delicious and very much pleasant. Overall acceptability favored Treatment A (Pork-Based), indicating the most balanced sensory profile. Shelf-life analysis confirmed product stability, with low moisture and proper drying and frying maintaining crispness and sensory quality over time. Microbial assessment verified safety, with no detection of fecal coliform, E. coli, or Salmonella, and yeast and mold counts within acceptable limits. Proximate analysis indicated high carbohydrate content, moderate fat, modest protein, and low moisture, supporting nutritional value and storage stability. The study concludes that the main protein source significantly influenced sensory perception and consumer preference, with Pork-Based chips providing the most favorable combination of flavor, aroma, appearance, and texture. These findings offer practical insights for the production and commercialization of culturally inspired, ready-to-eat snacks that combine traditional flavors with appealing sensory and nutritional qualities.

DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.13511
Abstract: The rapid growth of multimedia content on digital platforms has created a need for efficient content moderation systems to prevent the spread of harmful material. This project presents an Automated Harmful Content Control and Blocking System that performs analysis of media before it is uploaded. The system allows users to upload images and videos through a web interface, where the content is processed using a Flask-based backend. For image analysis, OpenCV is used to perform preprocessing techniques such as grayscale conversion and pixel intensity evaluation. A threshold-based method is applied to determine whether the uploaded image contains potentially harmful content. If harmful content is detected, the system blocks the upload and notifies the user; otherwise, the file is stored successfully. The system also supports video uploads and provides a deletion feature for managing uploaded files. This approach ensures real-time moderation, reduces dependency on manual monitoring, and enhances platform safety. Although the current implementation uses basic image processing techniques, it can be extended with advanced machine learning models for improved accuracy in future developments.

DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.13513
Abstract: The objective of the project is to develop an Interactive Dashboard for Supplier Weight and Delivery Weight Forecasting using an ETS (Error, Trend, Season) model built using Python to support data-driven decision making within a large engineering manufacturing organisation. The study comprises two integrated components designed to illustrate how visualization and forecasting can facilitate improvements in supply chain monitoring and planning. The organization relies on consistent supplier deliveries and accurate weight forecasting based on historical data for its large-scale manufacturing operations. The manual evaluation of supplier on-time delivery performance and weight of deliveries was often ineffectual and could lead to poor speculation .An Interactive Dashboard was generated in Power BI to visualize supplier performance and delivery timelines. A Forecasting Model was developed in Python with an ETS model predicting the weight of delivery in the future based on historical trends. Combining the analytical power of the Python statistical tool with the data visualization through Microsoft Power BI will help provide actionable insights to improve supply chain management processes and how decisions will be made in the future. The use of an interactive dashboard allowed all users to see how suppliers are performing and the trend regarding weights, and with Python's ETS modelling, a clear prediction of the future delivery weights enables faster decision-making and would lead to increased transparency while using data-informed planning methods to transform supply chain operations.

DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.13520
Abstract: The rapid emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant threat to global public health, rendering conventional broad-spectrum antibiotics increasingly ineffective against multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial pathogens. This review investigates the potential of bacteriophage therapy as a targeted therapeutic alternative to combat resistant infections. Unlike traditional antibiotics, which often disrupt the host’s commensal microflora, bacteriophages exhibit high specificity toward target bacterial strains. We examine the biological mechanisms of phage-host interactions, including the lytic cycle, and evaluate the advantages of utilizing phage cocktails over monotherapy to prevent the rapid development of phage resistance. Furthermore, the integration of computational tools and bioinformatics platforms— such as PHASTER—in identifying prophage sequences and optimizing therapeutic efficacy is discussed. While bacteriophage therapy presents a promising avenue for personalized medicine, challenges related to pharmacokinetics, bacterial resistance mechanisms, and regulatory frameworks must be addressed. Ultimately, this paper highlights the necessity of continued research and clinical trials to establish bacteriophage therapy as a safe and viable strategy in the modern management of AMR.

Abstract: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive and irreversible neurodegenerative disorder that predominantly affects the brain, resulting in the gradual deterioration of memory, cognitive functions, and behavior. It represents the leading cause of dementia, a clinical condition characterized by a significant decline in cognitive abilities that interferes with daily functioning. Despite extensive research, the precise etiology of Alzheimer’s disease remains unclear; however, it is widely accepted that a combination of genetic predisposition, environmental influences, and lifestyle factors contribute to its onset and progression.
Pathologically, Alzheimer’s disease is marked by the abnormal accumulation of extracellular amyloid-beta plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles composed of hyperphosphorylated tau protein. These abnormalities disrupt neuronal communication, impair synaptic function, and ultimately lead to neuronal degeneration and cell death.
In this context, the present study aims to develop an efficient and accurate automated system for the early detection of Alzheimer’s disease using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. The proposed approach leverages Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture to extract relevant features and perform classification, thereby facilitating improved diagnostic support and early intervention strategies.
Abstract: The discussion regarding music recommendation continues to be mentioned repeatedly since this may strengthen consumer interactions through multiple manners, especially psychic and personal memorable ones. Our project highlights a new development, that includes YOLOv8’s deep learning-driven gesture understanding. Applying a live webcam, an individual’s movements get recorded during actual time and are capable of being grouped into happy, sad, angry, neutral or surprised. While a particular mood becomes apparent, an arrangement of soundtracks will be generated according to the underlying feelings, which at first will be chosen by the database of songs that has been previously established. In light of its faster interpretation rate in addition with characteristic extraction skill, the YOLOv8 prototype has been employed for this research to figure out the movement of face. The result of the observation shows that the implemented system is efficient in identifying facial emotions with high accuracy and recommending music that aligns the current mood of a user. This study emphasizes the potential of integrating cognitive computing and Data Science methods to create intelligent multimedia applications that adapt in real-time to an individual's emotional condition.

Abstract: This Forest fires represent a catastrophic threat to global biodiversity and ecological stability, necessitating the development of high-precision, real-time early warning systems. This project introduces a comprehensive monitoring framework that leverages Google’s SigLIP (Sigmoid Loss for Language Image Pre-training), a state-of- the-art Vision Transformer (ViT) architecture, to detect fire and smoke anomalies in various environmental contexts. Unlike traditional Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), the implemented SigLIP model utilizes global attention mechanisms to effectively distinguish between subtle visual cues, such as differentiating early-stage smoke from clouds, fog, or thermal haze.The system was fine-tuned on a diverse dataset comprising thousands of images from sources including the FLAME and DeepFire datasets, supplemented by synthetic data for edge-case training. The technical architecture is deployed through a dual-platform approach: a rapid-response Streamlit interface for interactive testing and a full-scale Flask web portal. The Flask-based application provides a production-ready environment featuring secure user authentication, an administrative dashboard for detection logging, and integrated email notification triggers via EmailJS for immediate alert dissemination.Functionally, the application supports both high-resolution static image analysis and sampled video stream processing (MP4/AVI). By utilizing confidence-based thresholding and multi-class probability mapping (Normal, Smoke, and Fire), the system provides actionable intelligence for satellite monitoring, drone surveillance, and fixed CCTV footage. The resulting solution offers a scalable, high-accuracy tool for environmental protection agencies to mitigate devastating impacts of wildfires through rapid, AI-driven detection.

DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.13525
Abstract: Human–wildlife conflict has emerged as a critical conservation challenge in human-dominated landscapes of India, particularly affecting large carnivores such as the Indian leopard (Panthera pardus). This study examines the patterns, causes, and spatial distribution of premature panther deaths and human–panther conflict in Rajsamand district, Rajasthan. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research integrates geospatial analysis, field surveys, and community- based interviews to identify conflict hotspots and underlying socio-ecological drivers. Secondary data on mortality incidents were analyzed alongside primary data collected from affected villages to assess the role of habitat fragmentation, prey depletion, and anthropogenic pressures.
The findings reveal that a significant proportion of panther deaths are linked to human activities, including retaliatory killings, road accidents, and accidental falls into open wells. Spatial analysis highlights clustering of conflict incidents near forest–agriculture interfaces and rapidly urbanizing zones. Community perceptions indicate a complex relationship characterized by fear, economic loss, and limited awareness of conservation measures.
The study underscores the need for integrated management strategies, including habitat restoration, securing open wells, strengthening compensation mechanisms, and enhancing community participation in conservation programs. By linking ecological patterns with human dimensions, the research contributes to a more nuanced understanding of coexistence challenges and offers practical recommendations for mitigating conflict and reducing premature mortality of panthers in Aravali landscape.

Abstract: Communication barriers between hearing-impaired individuals and the general public represent one of the most persistent challenges in inclusive society design. Indian Sign Language (ISL) serves as the primary expressive modality for approximately 18 million deaf individuals across India, yet its comprehension remains negligible among the general population. This paper presents the design, development, and rigorous evaluation of an Intelligent Indian Sign Language Translator System (ISLTS) that harnesses deep learning and computer vision to recognize hand gestures and translate them into text and synthesized speech in real time. The system employs a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) trained on 7,500 custom ISL images augmented to 22,500 samples, achieving an overall gesture recognition accuracy of 92.4% and a mean average precision (mAP) of 0.89 across all gesture classes. MediaPipe Hands is integrated for real- time 21-point landmark detection, feeding a CNN classifier that operates at 28 frames per second on standard laptop hardware with latency below 0.5 seconds per prediction. A text-to-speech (TTS) module converts recognized gestures to audible output, enabling bidirectional communication. Comparative evaluation demonstrates that the proposed system outperforms sensor-based and earlier vision-based methods by 18–22 percentage points in accuracy while eliminating the need for specialized hardware. The proposed system offers a scalable, cost-effective, and non-intrusive solution with strong potential for deployment in educational institutions, healthcare settings, and public

Abstract: Falls from height (FFH) remain one of the leading causes of fatal and severe injuries in the construction, industrial, and oil & gas sectors worldwide. Despite regulatory advancements and safety interventions, these incidents continue to pose significant challenges to occupational safety professionals. This study aims to conduct a comprehensive factor analysis and risk quantification of fall-from-height accidents to understand their root causes, contributing conditions, and effective preventive strategies.
The study employs a mixed-method approach combining incident data review, Job Hazard Analysis (JHA), behavioural safety audits, and structured interviews with safety professionals. The Factor Analysis of Incident Data (FAID) is used to identify critical causal elements categorized into human, organizational, environmental, and technical domains. Key findings indicate that over 70% of FFH incidents are linked to a combination of unsafe practices, inadequate supervision, and poor planning during work-at-height activities.
A quantitative risk matrix is developed to assign risk scores based on the frequency and severity of each contributing factor. High-risk activities, such as scaffolding erection, roof work, and temporary platform use, were assessed using Bow-Tie analysis and Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to identify escalation factors and opportunities for risk reduction.
Furthermore, the study integrates Human Factors Engineering (HFE) and Safety Culture Assessments to understand the behavioural patterns associated with non-compliance. The findings suggest that targeted training, competent supervision, and a robust Permit-To-Work (PTW) system significantly reduce FFH risks.
This research offers valuable insights for safety professionals and decision-makers aiming to implement evidence-based controls. It emphasizes the importance of integrating predictive analytics, risk quantification, and human-centric design into fall prevention programs to move beyond compliance and foster a resilient safety culture.

DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.13530
Abstract: Hybrid Energy Storage Systems (HESS) integrating lithium-ion batteries with supercapacitors are increasingly adopted in electric vehicles (EVs) for dynamic power management. While Fuzzy Logic–based Energy Management Systems (EMS) effectively optimize power-split ratios under nominal operating conditions, they remain insensitive to hardware anomalies including battery overcurrent, thermal excursions, supercapacitor degradation, and converter faults. This paper presents a fault-aware intelligent EMS framework built around a Mamdani Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) that continuously monitors four sensor channels—battery voltage, current, temperature, and state-of-charge (SOC)—and classifies six distinct fault categories in real time via a dedicated Severity Index (SI ∈ [0, 1]). Upon fault detection, the controller adaptively modifies the battery duty cycle k_bat and redistributes transient power demands to the supercapacitor, preserving load continuity and system safety. MATLAB/Simulink simulations incorporating non-ideal component models, thermal dynamics, and converter losses demonstrate a 30% reduction in peak battery current, a 29% decrease in thermal rise (ΔT), and a 20% improvement in SOC retention relative to a conventional HESS without fault awareness. DC bus voltage stability (MAD = 8 V) is fully maintained across all injected fault scenarios. The proposed framework bridges the critical gap between energy optimization and hardware fault management in HESS for EV applications.

DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.13532
Abstract: Agriculture plays a vital role in global food security, and farmers constantly seek ways to optimize crop selection to maximize yield and profitability. However, identifying the most suitable crop for a specific region is challenging due to factors such as climate conditions, soil fertility, rainfall, temperature, and water availability. Traditional farming practices often rely on experience and assumptions, which may lead to reduced productivity and improper fertilizer usage.The proposed Crop and Fertilizer Recommendation System addresses these challenges by utilizing machine learning techniques to analyze environmental and soil-related parameters for intelligent decision- making. The system collects input data such as soil nutrients, temperature, humidity, rainfall, and pH values, and processes them using machine learning algorithms to recommend the most suitable crop and appropriate fertilizer. By providing accurate and data-driven recommendations, the system helps farmers improve crop yield, reduce resource wastage, and enhance sustainable agricultural practices.The developed model aims to support precision agriculture by assisting farmers in selecting crops that are best suited for their land conditions while also suggesting fertilizers to maintain soil health and productivity. Experimental results demonstrate that machine learning-based recommendations can significantly improve agricultural efficiency and contribute to smarter farming solutions.

I Gusti Agung Kade Suriadi, Dewa Ngakan Ketut Putra Negara, I Ketut Adi Atmika, Tjokorda Gde Tirta Nindhia*
DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.13541
Abstract: Activated carbon derived from lignocellulosic biomass has attracted significant attention due to its potential application in wastewater treatment. This review examines the effect of activation temperature on pore structure development and methylene blue adsorption capacity of activated carbon produced from teak sawdust waste. Activation temperature plays a crucial role in determining pore size distribution, surface area, and adsorption performance. Based on previous studies, increasing activation temperature promotes the transformation of micropores into mesopores due to enhanced devolatilization and gasification reactions. This structural evolution improves the adsorption capacity for methylene blue, a large organic molecule commonly used as a model adsorbate. However, excessively high activation temperatures may lead to pore collapse and reduced adsorption efficiency. This review highlights the importance of optimizing activation temperature to achieve a balance between pore development and structural stability. The findings provide insights into the design of efficient biomass-based adsorbents for environmental applications.

Abstract: The rapid growth of intelligent healthcare technologies has enabled continuous monitoring of human health through connected devices and smart sensors. Heart-related illnesses require immediate attention and timely analysis because delayed diagnosis may lead to severe complications. This research presents a smart IoT-based framework designed for early heart risk identification using adaptive learning and sensor-driven analytics. The system acquires real-time physiological information through ECG, pulse oximeter, and temperature sensors connected to an embedded microcontroller platform. Unlike traditional healthcare prediction systems that depend completely on pre-labeled datasets, the proposed framework introduces an adaptive learning strategy capable of dynamically categorizing incoming health data patterns. Processed sensor readings are analyzed using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Random Forest techniques to determine the probability of abnormal heart conditions. The proposed approach improves prediction consistency, supports continuous monitoring, and minimizes dependency on cloud-based infrastructure. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that the framework provides reliable prediction performance with improved adaptability for real-time healthcare environments.

DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.13543
Abstract: Estimation of accurate SoC of Li-ion batteries is the basic requirement for a safe and efficient operation of the Battery Management System (BMS) of EVs. A systematic method for SoC estimation using a second order ECM (2RC ECM) calibrated from the data of HPPC tests is proposed in this paper. The OCV-SoC relation is extracted from C/20 charge-discharge test and fitted by a seventh order polynomial function. Parameters of ECM passive components (R₀, R₁, C₁, R₂, C₂) are identified from ten discrete SoC values with Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) nonlinear least-square algorithm, then they are represented by seventh order polynomials with regard to the SoC. EKF and UKF, both recursive Bayesian estimators, are implemented and evaluated for Turnigy Graphene 4.6928 Ah lithium cell at 0C with the standard test profiles (C/20 charge-discharge and HPPC). Error estimation (RMSE, MAE and MAX) is used for SoC and terminal voltage estimation respectively. Experiments show that both filters can always converge at the conditions and the UKF is slightly better than EKF at the SoC estimation under most of drive profiles due to the avoid of Jacobian linearisation. The sensitivity of SoC estimation accuracy with regard to parameters' identification accuracy is discussed and future works are summarized as adaptive noise covariance setting and order elevation to 3RC model.

In addition, a machine learning-based clinical prediction model evaluates patient risk factors such as age, tobacco usage, alcohol consumption, and the presence of oral lesions. By integrating image-based analysis with clinical data evaluation, the system enhances diagnostic reliability and decision support. The developed models are deployed using a Streamlit-based web application that allows users to upload oral images and enter clinical details for real-time prediction. Experimental results demonstrate that the image-based model achieves high classification accuracy, while the clinical model effectively supports risk assessment. The proposed system provides a non-invasive, cost effective, and user-friendly solution for preliminary oral cancer screening, aiming to support healthcare professionals and improve early detection outcomes.

Abstract: Yoga posture correction and recognition systems can help learners practice safely and consistently by providing instant feedback without requiring continuous supervision from an instructor. This project proposes a deep learning–based Yoga Posture Detection system that identifies yoga poses from images and real-time webcam video. The system uses a convolutional neural network (CNN) based classifier trained on a labeled dataset of yoga postures, where each class corresponds to a specific asana. For real-time operation, YOLOv8 is used to detect the person in each frame, the detected region is cropped, and the posture is classified using the trained model. The classification model is trained using transfer learning (MobileNetV2 backbone) to improve accuracy with a limited dataset and reduce training time. The final system is deployed as a web application using Flask with a user-friendly interface built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, allowing users to upload images for posture prediction and view top confidence results. Experimental results show that the proposed model achieves around 70% validation accuracy over 41 yoga classes, and performance is analyzed using a confusion matrix, classification report, and Grad-CAM visual explanations. The solution demonstrates an end-to-end pipeline for yoga pose classification and real-time detection, and can be extended further for posture correction and fitness guidance.

Abstract: Agriculture is one of the most important sectors for food production and economic growth, but farmers often face difficulties in monitoring soil conditions, managing irrigation, identifying crop-related issues, and accessing market resources efficiently. Traditional farming methods require continuous physical presence in the field, which consumes time and labor. To overcome these challenges, this research proposes an AI-Based Smart Agriculture Monitoring and Irrigation System that integrates both hardware and software technologies for efficient farm management. The system uses ESP32, DHT sensor, and Soil Moisture Sensor to continuously monitor environmental and soil conditions such as temperature, humidity, and moisture level. The collected data is transmitted to a Flutter-based mobile application where farmers can monitor real-time readings remotely. When the soil moisture level falls below a predefined threshold, the system alerts the user and also allows one-click water supply control through the application.
In addition, the proposed system includes an AI-powered farming chatbot that assists farmers in solving agriculture- related problems through text chat, voice input, and image upload features for crop analysis and guidance. The application also provides a marketplace platform where farmers can buy or sell crops, fertilizers, seeds, and medicines directly. A dedicated profile section stores farmer information, while the video and news module provides updates regarding modern farming techniques, innovations, and agricultural news. Experimental analysis shows that the system improves irrigation efficiency, reduces unnecessary field visits, supports smart decision-making, and enhances accessibility to agricultural resources. The proposed system is cost-effective, scalable, user-friendly, and suitable for modern smart farming applications.

Explainable Ensemble Machine Learning Framework for Finding Phishing Websites in Real Time
Gangarapu Vasanth Kumar
DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.13553
Abstract: One of the most significant cyber risks in today's digital communication is phishing websites that prey on users through fake web pages that look like real websites to steal important information such as login passwords, banking details, and personal data. The current blacklist based phishing detection systems are less successful against the emerging and zero-day phishing assaults, as they cannot identify the unseen malicious URLs in real-time. In order to overcome these limitations, this study presents an Explainable Ensemble Machine Learning Framework for Real-Time Phishing Website Detection that utilizes advanced feature engineering, ensemble learning algorithms, and explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) techniques to enhance detection performance and interpretability.
The proposed methodology uses the entire range of URL-based, domain-based and webpage content-based attributes derived from the phishing and legal websites collected from publicly available cyber security datasets PhishTank, UCI Repository and Kaggle. Ensemble method based on voting combines and implements multiple machine learning algorithms such as Random Forest, Gradient Boosting and XGBoost classifiers. Moreover, there is explainable AI based on SHAP for transparent decision-making and feature importance analysis.

Abstract: Agricultural productivity and food security are significantly affected by plant diseases, which cause substantial economic losses and threaten global food supply chains. Traditional methods of disease detection rely heavily on manual inspection by experts, which are time-consuming, subjective, and often infeasible for large-scale monitoring. This project presents a mobile application designed for plant leaf disease detection and solution recommendation, with the key advantage of functioning in offline mode. This research proposes an intelligent, automated system for plant leaf disease detection and solution recommendation using computer vision and machine learning techniques.
High-resolution images of plant leaves are preprocessed using contrast enhancement and noise reduction techniques. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model, trained on datasets such as PlantVillage, is used to extract features and classify diseases including bacterial blight, powdery mildew, and leaf spot. The model achieves an average accuracy exceeding 85%.
After detection, the system provides solution recommendations including chemical, biological, and cultural practices. The proposed system supports farmers through a mobile-based interface and promotes sustainable agriculture. Future work includes integrating environmental factors like humidity and temperature for better predictions.

Harshini V T, Dr. Babu S
DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.13556
Abstract: The detection of thoracic diseases through chest medical images presents difficulties because of two main issues. The existing deep learning models include YOLOv8 and Faster R-CNN and U-Net-based CNN classifiers which achieve good results but these models struggle with two main issues. The study introduces A2-YOLOv8-ViT as a hybrid deep learning framework that integrates YOLOv8s real-time object detection capabilities with Vision Transformers global feature learning abilities. The proposed model uses spatial and channel attention mechanisms to enhance feature representation while highlighting important clinical areas and it uses a feature fusion strategy to combine local CNN features with transformer-based global dependencies for better detection results. The system uses an adaptive thresholding technique to solve class imbalance problems while boosting prediction accuracy. The proposed framework achieves 99% accuracy through its experimental results while showing better precision and recall and mean average precision results than traditional methods. The system produces interpretable outputs which include bounding boxes and confidence scores and severity indications that enable efficient and accurate clinical decision-making for thoracic disease diagnosis.
Abstract: Modern Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) workloads are heavily constrained by the high cost and underutilization of physical hardware acceleration. Traditional hardware-level GPU virtualization methods introduce severe hypervisor overhead, require proprietary licensing, and lack automated multi-dataset parallel orchestration. This paper introduces v-gpu, an open-source, containerized virtual GPU orchestration platform designed to automate machine learning pipeline execution using isolated Docker environments. The framework utilizes a custom engine to build deterministic runtime environments (vgpu-worker), auto-provision containerized workspaces, and route data using custom smart ingestion paths. For parallel computing clusters, the system dynamically balances multi-dataset workloads across isolated, load-balanced container groups to maximize computational throughput. Upon job execution, the core engine extracts analytical performance metrics—including Mean Squared Error (MSE), classification accuracy, and F1-score—delivering real-time telemetry to a centralized control dashboard. Experimental evaluations demonstrate that the architecture achieves zero-overhead process isolation, reliable data routing, and rapid infrastructure teardown under peak workloads.

Dong Hwa Kim
DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.13558
Abstract: This paper deals with application ChatGPT for writing engineering paper. Basically, we have to write paper from bottom to final paper such as reference, summarizing, a title selection, and writing work including English skill reviewing. However, the many apples like ChatGPT provide many functions as well as information for producing paper, report, research plan, and etc. This paper focuses physical AI including causal inference and tries its paper writing skill for user for physical causal inference. Causal inference is a big issues and problem in physical AI and LLM (Large Language Model), and LMM (Language Multi-Model) to operate independently in Internet in industrial or small device or robot. The Physical AI have to use LMM (Language Multi-Model) with language sensor, several image sensors, temperature sensor, and others for operation through the communication with user. LMM (Language Multi-Model) such as ChatGPT or AI models has the significant problems in application because of the deficit causal inference of function language recognition, image, audio model, and etc.
That is, the causal inference problems of the large Language Multi-Model (LMM) remain issue for application of physical AI. Because the causal problems are difficult to describe reason in natural language model, this function restricts the application of physical AI in industrial fields. This paper selects this title and to see how they (ChatGPT) can write causal inference issues of this physical AI to see improving skill of ChatGPT for the causal ability of LMM. Of course, there are many limitations in writing paper by ChatGPT and we cannot believe fully the results of ChatGPT. However, this paper tries how to use and how much it is true in the results. In the future, we absolutely need experiment and compare.

DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.13559
Abstract: Corrosion remains a major challenge in industrial systems involving metals exposed to aqueous environments. Conventional corrosion inhibitors, although effective, often exhibit toxicity, poor biodegradability, and ecological hazards. Green corrosion inhibitors derived from plant extracts, natural polymers, amino acids, and biodegradable compounds have emerged as sustainable alternatives. This research paper examines the role of green corrosion inhibitors in aqueous systems, with an emphasis on adsorption mechanisms, surface chemistry, electrochemical behaviour, and environmental safety. The study also discusses inhibitor efficiency, adsorption isotherms, surface analytical methods, and ecological assessment. Experimental trends reported in literature indicate that green inhibitors can achieve inhibition efficiencies above 85–90% under optimized conditions while maintaining environmental compatibility. The paper bridges the gap between corrosion science and sustainability by evaluating both protective performance and environmental impact.

DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.13561
Abstract: For the proposed study, it is anticipated that a software product based on Artificial Intelligence will be developed to enable risk detection and analysis to confirm that there are no security threats in crowded public spaces like malls, temples, and train stations. Crowd management can be quite tricky in such spacesHence, it becomes necessary to monitor them constantly. However, the use of traditional surveillance systems like cameras becomes problematic because it requires one to continuously monitor the video footage for any potential threat.
It becomes possible to resolve this issue by leveraging computer vision, integrated with deep learning capabilities, that enables the system to monitor the video stream recorded through the camera. Furthermore, the system will be capable of detecting individuals and analyzing their behavior patterns to verify if they can be deemed dangerous, including the risk of fire and other similar hazards such a detection capability can prevent accidents, such as stampedes.
From Automation Panic to Workforce Resilience: A Governance Framework for Enterprise AI Transformation
Panna Lal Jaiswal, Rajeew Vishvakarma, Sooraj Jacob
DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.13562
Abstract: Artificial intelligence, especially generative AI, is transforming enterprise operations by automating tasks, enhancing decision-making, and redefining job roles. Public discourse often portrays this as a threat to employment; however, recent evidence has shown a nuanced pattern involving task automation, role transformation, displacement risk, augmentation, and new roles. The International Monetary Fund estimates that nearly 40% of global employment is susceptible to AI, with exposure rising to 60% in advanced economies owing to cognitive task-oriented jobs. The International Labour Organization’s 2025 update highlights the need to assess the exposure of generative AI at the task level using task data, expert input, and AI model predictions. This paper argues that AI-induced workforce disruption is not only a labor market issue but also an enterprise governance challenge. Organizations implementing AI without responsible transition mechanisms may worsen workforce anxiety, skill obsolescence, inequality, and trust erosion. To address this, this study proposes a Workforce Resilience Governance Framework (WRGF) for enterprise AI transformation. This framework includes task-level exposure assessment, human augmentation design, reskilling, redeployment, transparent communication, psychological safety, workforce impact accountability, and policy alignment. This study contributes a taxonomy of AI workforce impact, a Workforce Resilience Readiness Score (WRRS), an AI Workforce Trust Index (AWTI), an Ethical Automation Boundary concept, and a pilot empirical validation design. It concludes that AI's future impact on employment will depend not only on automation capabilities but also on how responsibly enterprises manage workforce transitions.

"AI-Powered Predictive Analytics for Concrete Compressive Strength with Material Impact Interpretation"
Kalpesh Wani, Prashant Shimpi
DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.13566
Abstract: Because it directly affects the quality, longevity, and safety of structures, concrete compressive strength is a crucial factor in the construction sector. Conventional laboratory-based strength testing is expensive, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. This study suggests an AI-powered predictive analytics framework for evaluating concrete compressive strength utilizing machine learning approaches in order to get over these restrictions. A concrete compressive strength dataset that includes mix design factors such cement, water, fly ash, blast furnace slag, superplasticizer, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, and curing age is used in this work. To find the most effective model for precise strength prediction, several machine learning regression models are put into practice and assessed. Evaluation metrics including Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), and R2 are used to evaluate the models' performance. Additionally, explainable AI algorithms are used for material impact interpretation in order to assess how each input information contributes to the prediction of compressive strength. The experimental findings show that sophisticated ensemble-based regression models outperform conventional regression techniques in terms of prediction accuracy. This study provides engineers with an efficient and comprehensible AI solution for strength assessment and concrete mix design optimization.

Andrian Iswanto, Ade Saepullah, Agri Kala Yosua, Hafda Setyawan, I Gusti Ngurah Putu Tenaya, Tjokorda Gde Tirta Nindhia*
DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.13568
Abstract: Biomass-based activated carbon has attracted widespread attention as a sustainable carbon material due to its abundant availability, renewability, and engineered pore structure. The characteristics and performance of activated carbon are greatly influenced by the type of biomass and the activation strategies used during the synthesis process. This article presents a systematic literature review on the potential of biomass and various activation methods in the production of activated carbon, focusing on the development of pore structure and material performance. The review was conducted on various studies related to physical and chemical activation processes, including activation using steam, CO₂, as well as chemical activation using KOH, H₃PO₄, ZnCl₂, and NaOH. The results of the review indicate that the composition of biomass, particularly the content of lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose, plays a crucial role in determining carbon yield, thermal stability, and pore evolution during the carbonization and activation processes. Physical activation generally results in stable microporous structures but requires high temperatures and relatively long processing times. In contrast, chemical activation can significantly enhance pore development and specific surface area due to the intensive interaction between the activator and the carbon matrix. Among the various activators used, KOH shows the most effective performance in producing highly developed microporous structures with high surface areas. In addition, the hierarchical pore structure consisting of micropores and mesopores significantly contributes to the adsorption capacity, ion transport, and electrochemical performance of the material. Biomass-based activated carbon shows potential for wide applications in the fields of adsorption, water treatment, energy storage, supercapacitors, and solar energy-based interfacial evaporation systems. Overall, this study emphasizes that activation strategies are the main factor determining the process- structure-property relationship of biomass-based activated carbon in the development of high-performance porous carbon materials for environmental and energy applications.

Mechanical Characterization of an Eucheuma cottonii White Seaweed-Based Bioplastic Film: Effect of seafood Protein and Sorbitol Plasticizer on Tensile Properties
Nicolas Meuley, Tjokorda Gde Tirta Nindhia*, Ade Saepullah, Agri Kala Yosua
DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.13569
Abstract: This work reports the preliminary mechanical characterization of a bioplastic film prepared from white Eucheuma cottonii seaweed, using sorbitol as a plasticizer and a small fraction of seafood protein as a reinforcing additive. The film was cast from an acid-extracted seaweed slurry and dried under ambient ventilated conditions. Tensile tests were carried out on four specimens whose geometry was inspired by the ASTM D638 Type V standard, using a manual screw-driven apparatus instrumented with an analog force gauge (capacity 10 N, resolution 0.05 N) and a digital dial indicator (resolution 0.01 mm). After removing the zero-load take-up artifacts observed at the beginning of each test, the mean ultimate tensile strength was found to be 2.67(76) MPa, the mean strain at break 1.01 0.17, and the mean Young’s modulus, determined from a linear regression on the initial elastic region, was 1.97(62) MPa. Optical microscopy revealed millimetre-scale residual porosities and an inhomogeneous through- thickness distribution of unfiltered fibers, which are identified as the primary mechanical weak points of the current formulation. Comparison with the existing literature on Eucheuma cottonii and Gracilaria films suggests that the unusually low stiffness and high apparent strain at break observed here reflect both the high plasticizer- to-polymer ratio of the formulation and the limitations of the testing setup, which are discussed in detail.

An Integrated Machine Learning and Blockchain Framework for E-Waste Forecasting and Traceability
Jaswanth Raj J, Kevin Dhyanesh V R, Krishna P, Dr. Maniraj S P
DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.13571
Abstract: One gadget after another piles up worldwide, piling pressure on nature’s limits - trash from old phones and laptops might hit 80 million tons by 2030. Behind the scenes, today’s recycling networks struggle: they’re run by too few hands, hard to track fully, open to cheating or altered logs. Tackling these two issues at once, a new system links smart forecasts with tamper-proof digital records. Numbers pulled from past trends between 2010 and 2023 feed into a math model; things like people count, money per person, online access help guess future waste amounts. From those patterns, predictions stretch ahead - from 2026 through 2030 - showing where trash tides may rise. One way to track old electronics uses Python, building a chain of records locked with SHA-256 math plus agreement through computing effort. Instead of paper logs, it runs on a live web interface made with Streamlit, storing data in MySQL. Tests show predictions stay close to real outcomes - over 96 percent match by one measure. This setup links smart forecasts to verified tracking, fitting global targets for responsible tech, cleaner production, and climate action.

DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.13576
Abstract: This comparative descriptive study investigates how financial literacy influences investment behaviour among MBA students (n = 75) and salaried employees (n = 75) in Nagapattinam. Primary data were collected using a structured questionnaire (5-point Likert scale) and analyzed through regression, chi-square, and independent samples t-tests. Instrument reliability was confirmed (Cronbach’s α = 0.859). Regression analysis shows that financial literacy significantly predicts investment behaviour (R² = 0.376, β = 0.597, p < .001), explaining 37.6% of variance. Chi-square results indicate no significant association between respondent category and overall risk tolerance (χ²(4) = 2.782, p = .595). Independent t-tests revealed some item-level differences, but no consistent overall advantage between MBA students and salaried employees. After Holm–Bonferroni adjustment, significant differences remained in budgeting knowledge, investment frequency, reliance on professional advice, and portfolio rebalancing, with small-to-moderate effect sizes. The findings highlight implications for MBA curricula and workplace financial education programs, recommending targeted practical training to help convert financial awareness into effective investment action.

Meriam T. Fernandez
DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.13577
Abstract: Dietary habits and work–life balance are critical determinants of employee productivity, directly impacting the operational efficiency and academic excellence of higher education institutions. This study examined the dietary habits, work–life balance, and productivity of faculty members and non-teaching personnel in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Northern Panay to identify the key drivers of workplace performance. Specifically, it determined the level of dietary habits in terms of meal patterns, food choices, and nutritional behaviors; the level of work–life balance in terms of time management, perceived work-related stress, and personal life management; and the resulting level of employee productivity measured through work efficiency, task effectiveness, and quality output. The study also investigated the relationship among these variables and identified which factors significantly predict high- level productivity. Employing a mixed-methods sequential explanatory approach, data were gathered from a random sample of 200 faculty and non-teaching personnel in a total population of 415 across selected HEIs in Northern Panay using a validated adopted and modified questionnaire. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative insights were interpreted through direct quotation analysis. The findings revealed that while dietary habits were generally good and work–life balance was high, employee productivity reached a very high level, suggesting a strong baseline for institutional output. Statistical analysis confirmed significant relationships between these variables, demonstrating that healthier lifestyle choices and balanced personal lives directly manifest as superior workplace productivity. Notably, work–life balance emerged as the primary predictor of productivity, highlighting that an employee's ability to manage professional responsibilities alongside personal well- being is the most influential factor in achieving high-quality output. Based on these findings, the study proposes comprehensive health and wellness initiatives specifically designed to sustain and enhance employee productivity through improved nutritional practices, mental wellness, and engagement strategies.
The Abaca Fiber Industry: Income Generation, Innovations, Challenges, and Future Prospects
Rhyme Ventura Apolinario
DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.13579
Abstract: The abaca fiber industry in the municipalities of Madalag, Libacao, and Balete plays a vital role in sustaining rural livelihoods; however, farmers continue to face income instability, limited innovation, and production challenges affecting long-term sustainability. This study explored the income generation experiences, farming innovations, challenges, and future prospects of abaca farmers in order to generate insights for policy and program interventions that may strengthen the industry. Using a qualitative phenomenological design grounded in constructivist epistemology, the study conducted in-depth interviews with 20 purposively selected participants composed of 16 abaca farmers and 4 key informants from the Philippine Fiber Industry Development Authority (PhilFIDA), LGU, cooperative, and local enterprise sectors. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis with triangulation to ensure credibility and identify patterns across income practices, innovations, challenges, and perceived industry prospects. Findings revealed four major areas with corresponding themes. In terms of income generation, the themes identified were: (1) abaca stripping as the primary source of income, (2) diversified and supplementary income strategies, and (3) income dependency on labor, time, and market conditions. Farmers primarily depended on fiber stripping as their main livelihood source but supplemented their earnings through paid labor, copra production, carpentry, rice farming, and other agricultural activities due to unstable income and delayed returns from abaca production. Regarding innovations in farming, processing, and marketing, the themes included: (1) persistence of traditional farming and processing practices, (2) selective adoption of agricultural inputs and basic improvements, and (3) limited market and value-adding innovations in production and selling. Farmers largely maintained traditional cultivation and fiber extraction practices while selectively adopting fertilizers, improved abaca varieties, and training-based techniques, although innovation remained constrained by limited capital, inadequate access to technology, and weak institutional support. In relation to challenges experienced by abaca farmers, the themes identified were: (1) market and infrastructure limitations, (2) environmental and biological challenges, and (3) financial constraints and limited resources. Farmers experienced low and unstable market prices, trader dominance, poor transportation systems, pest infestations and diseases, prolonged rainy seasons, climate-related damages, labor shortages, and insufficient financial resources, all of which reduced productivity and income stability. Finally, in terms of future prospects, the themes identified were: (1) optimism for continued production with strong dependence on government support, (2) threat of disease, aging farmers, and declining youth participation, and (3) market instability and price-driven uncertainty of industry sustainability.

Abstract: Blended spices derived from locally available plants tend to achieve higher sensory acceptability compared to single-ingredient spices due to their enhanced flavor complexity and balanced sensory profile. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the acceptability of a blended herb spice composed of dried guava, lemongrass, spring onion, bay leaf, and oregano. An experimental-developmental research design utilizing a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was employed, consisting of three formulations: Treatment A (25g guava, 75g lemongrass), Treatment B (50g guava, 50g lemongrass), and Treatment C (75g guava, 25g lemongrass), with constant amounts of the remaining ingredients such as dried spring onion, bay leaf and oregano. Sensory evaluation was conducted by 10 semi-trained food technology professors across three trials, followed by acceptability testing involving 100 evaluators using a 9-Point Hedonic Scale. Data were analyzed using mean and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Results indicated that all formulations were generally acceptable in terms of appearance, aroma, texture, and overall acceptability. Treatment B (50g guava, 50g lemongrass) emerged as the most preferred formulation, particularly in appearance and aroma, followed by Treatment A (25g guava, 75g lemongrass), while Treatment C (75g guava, 25g lemongrass) remained acceptable across all attributes. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in appearance and aroma in favor of Treatment B, whereas texture showed no significant variation among treatments. When applied to grilled chicken, all formulations enhanced sensory qualities, with Treatment B (50g guava, 50g lemongrass) yielding the highest acceptability due to its superior aroma, appearance, and taste. Treatment A also showed favorable results, while Treatment C (75g guava, 25g lemongrass), though less preferred, maintained an acceptable flavor profile. The blended herb spices demonstrated good storage stability, remaining unchanged in color, texture, and odor under both room and chilling conditions for up to 30 days. Microbial analysis further confirmed that the product met food safety standards, showing low aerobic plate count and absence of coliform bacteria, thereby indicating its safety for consumption and compliance with FDA guidelines.

DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.13585
Abstract: This study determined the relationship between ICT competence and instructional delivery among Junior High School Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) teachers in the Department of Education Capiz Division during School Year 2025-2026. Anchored on the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework and Rogers' Diffusion of Innovations Theory, the study examined teachers' technological competence, pedagogical ICT competence, content-specific ICT competence, and attitude toward ICT, as well as their instructional delivery in terms of lesson planning, learning activities, assessment practices, and instructional innovation. The study employed a descriptive-correlational research design. The respondents were 100 Junior High School TLE teachers selected through stratified random sampling from public secondary schools in the DepEd Capiz Division. Data were gathered using a researcher-made and validated questionnaire, which obtained a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.851 during pilot testing. Frequency, percentage, weighted mean, standard deviation, Pearson Product-Moment Correlation, and multiple regression analysis were used in treating the data. Findings showed that the TLE teachers had a high level of ICT competence, with a general mean of 4.20. Content-specific ICT competence and attitude toward ICT were rated very high, while technological competence and pedagogical ICT competence were rated high. Instructional delivery was rated good, with a general mean of 3.91 across lesson planning, learning activities, assessment practices, and instructional innovation. A significant moderate positive relationship was found between ICT competence and instructional delivery (r = 0.613, p = 0.000). Regression results further revealed that pedagogical ICT competence was the only significant predictor of instructional delivery (Beta = 0.735, p = 0.000), while technological competence, content-specific ICT competence, and attitude toward ICT were not significant predictors. The model explained 46.5 percent of the variance in instructional delivery. The study concludes that ICT competence is meaningfully associated with instructional delivery, but the pedagogical use of ICT plays the most decisive role in improving TLE teaching. It is recommended that professional development programs for TLE teachers prioritize pedagogical ICT integration, technology-supported lesson planning, assessment, and instructional innovation.
Blockchain-based Federated Learning with SMPC Model Verification Against Poisoning Attack for Healthcare Systems
Ms. Ankitha S, Shwetha M D, Nisarga, Rakshitha B k, Chandana S
DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.13586
Abstract: Healthcare systems generate large amounts of sensitive patient information through hospitals, labs, wearable devices, diagnostic centres, and electronic medical records. Traditional centralized machine learning approaches require sharing raw healthcare data to train intelligent models. This raises significant concerns about privacy, security, and following regulations. Federated Learning (FL) addresses these issues by allowing multiple healthcare institutions to work together to train machine learning models without transferring raw patient information. However, federated learning environments are still at risk of poisoning attacks, where malicious actors submit altered model updates that harm model performance and reliability. This research presents a secure framework called Blockchain-based Federated Learning with SMPC Model Verification Against Poisoning Attack for Healthcare Systems. The framework combines Federated Learning, Secure Multi-Party Computation (SMPC)-based verification, and Blockchain technology to create a reliable collaborative platform for healthcare intelligence. Healthcare institutions train models locally and share only model parameters instead of patient records. Local model updates undergo SMPC-based verification to flag suspicious contributions before aggregation. Verified updates are combined using federated learning techniques, while malicious updates are discarded. Blockchain technology maintains unchangeable logs to enhance transparency, traceability, and accountability. The proposed system is implemented as a Flask-based web application supported by an SQLite database. This database manages healthcare participants, federated rounds, verification records, global model information, and blockchain event history. The framework strengthens privacy preservation, boosts security against poisoning attacks, and builds trust in distributed healthcare artificial intelligence systems. Experimental implementation shows that combining federated learning with blockchain and verification methods offers a dependable and scalable solution for secure healthcare collaboration.

Abstract: The growing environmental impact of synthetic textiles has intensified the search for sustainable, plant-based alternatives. This study aimed to develop a blended textile from birds of paradise (Strelitzia reginae) and bamban plant (Donax canniformis) fibers and to determine its mechanical properties (tensile strength and breaking elongation), chemical properties (burning rate, washability, and water absorption), and overall acceptability as alternative textile material in terms of hand feel, irregularity of the ribs, color shade, and presence of plugs. A developmental research design was employed to extract, process, blend, and test the fibers under controlled conditions. The statistical tool used was the mean, which determined the acceptability of the blended birds of Paradise (Strelitzia reginae) and bamban plant (Donax canniformis) textile. A total of 25 experts evaluated the product, consisting of garment shop owners, garment teachers, fashion designers, local dressmakers, and end users. An evaluation sheet was utilized to assess the blended textile. The textile underwent a series of tests to determine its mechanical and chemical properties. Findings revealed that the individual fibers of birds of paradise (Strelitzia reginae) and bamban plant (Donax canniformis) were verbally interpreted as durable, while the blended fibers exhibited improved overall strength when combined and were interpreted as very durable, demonstrating enhanced load-bearing performance through fiber blending. In terms of breaking elongation, the individual fibers were verbally interpreted as least elastic, while the blended fibers were interpreted as less elastic, showing improved flexibility compared to the individual fibers, although still within the less elastic range. The burning rate test showed that the blended textile shrank easily when exposed to flame, emitted a pungent urine-like odor, and left a black, hollow, and gritty bead residue. It was interpreted as highly combustible, comparable to cotton and jute. Washability testing showed no noticeable changes after soaking in detergent for thirty minutes, indicating good color stability. The water absorption test revealed that the blended textile has low absorbency, which can be advantageous for applications requiring quick drying and resistance to moisture. Overall, the textile from blended birds of paradise (Strelitzia reginae) and bamban plant (Donax canniformis) textile was rated as “Very Acceptable” in terms of hand feel, irregularity of the ribs, color shade, and presence of plugs based on its level of acceptability.

EARLEEN MAY BILLONES ACANTO
DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.13593
Abstract: Cassava leaves and locally grown root crops are widely available in rural communities yet remain underutilized as primary food ingredients despite their nutritional potential. This study explored the development of plant-based patties combining cassava leaves with cassava tubers, sweet potato, and lesser yam to produce a nutritious, affordable, and accessible snack suitable for everyday consumption. An experimental–developmental research design was employed using three formulations per root crop based on varying proportions of cassava leaves to roots: Treatment A (75g cassava leaves:25g root crops), Treatment B (50g cassava leaves:50g root crops), and Treatment C (25g cassava leaves:75g root crops). Sensory qualities in terms of appearance, aroma, taste, and texture were evaluated using a 9-point hedonic scale by semi-trained panelists, while general acceptability was assessed by 100 randomly selected consumers.
Statistical analyses were applied to determine significant differences among treatments. Shelf life was observed under room and refrigerated conditions, and the best-performing formulations underwent microbial and proximate analyses at NPPC Analytical and Diagnostic Laboratory, Inc., Negros to verify safety and nutritional value. This study evaluated the sensory qualities, general acceptability, shelf life, and nutritional density of patties developed from cassava leaves and root crops. Sensory evaluation and ANOVA results revealed that the leaf-to-root ratio is the primary driver of consumer preference, significantly affecting taste while appearance and aroma remained stable. Treatment B (50:50) emerged as the most effective formulation for cassava tuber and lesser yam bases, consistently earning "Extremely Delicious" ratings. However, for sweet potato bases, Treatment C (25:75) was slightly preferred.
Overall, Sweet Potato (Product B) was identified as the superior base, achieving the highest general acceptability score and a "Liked Very Much" rating. Safety and stability tests indicated that the patties are highly perishable, with a room- temperature shelf life of only two hours. Refrigeration (4–6°C) extended quality for two days, though mold growth rendered products unsafe by day five. Laboratory analysis confirmed the product’s safety, with microbial counts well below FDA limits and a total absence of E. coli and Salmonella. Proximate analysis validated the patty as a high-protein, energy-dense supplement, containing 10.93g protein, 9.29g fat, and 0.96g carbohydrates per 100g (270 kcal). The study concludes that a balanced 75:25 formulation using a sweet potato base offers the best combination of nutrition and palatability, providing a viable plant-based protein source for food security initiatives and school feeding programs.

DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.13597
Abstract: Crime analysis plays a vital role in ensuring public safety and effective law enforcement. The increasing rate of crimes makes it necessary to analyze large amounts of crime data efficiently. Traditional methods mainly depend on manual analysis of historical records, which are time-consuming and lack predictive capabilities. As a result, identifying crime patterns and trends becomes difficult. To overcome these limitations, a machine learning-based system is proposed. The system is developed using a Flask-based web application and processes crime datasets containing attributes such as crime type, location, and time. Data pre-processing techniques are applied to clean and prepare the data for analysis. Machine learning algorithms are then used to extract meaningful patterns from the data. Classification techniques help in predicting the type of crime, while clustering methods are used to identify crime-prone areas. The system also provides visualizations such as graphs and heatmaps, which make it easier to understand crime patterns and trends. By integrating data processing, prediction, and visualization into a single platform, the system improves decision-making and supports proactive crime prevention.

Abstract: Environmental sustainability drives the search for renewable, eco-friendly alternatives to conventional products. Cork boards are widely used, yet commercial options are often neither sustainable nor cost-effective. This study addresses this by utilizing locally available organic materials—specifically dried Indian Almond tree (Terminalia catappa) leaves, which are abundant and typically treated as waste. By combining crushed leaves with wood adhesive, this research develops an eco-friendly cork board. It evaluates different material ratios to identify the optimal formulation that meets desired quality, sensory characteristics, and acceptability standards, offering a low-cost, sustainable alternative while promoting waste reduction. This study developed a sustainable cork board using crushed, dried Terminalia catappa leaves mixed with wood adhesive. It aimed to assess sensory characteristics, acceptability, and differences among three treatments: A (100g:150ml), B (200g:180ml), and C (300g:200ml). Using an experimental-developmental design under CRD, 30 evaluators rated the products via a 5-Point Likert scale. Data were analyzed using mean and ANOVA at 0.05 significance level. Results showed all treatments were “Very Acceptable”; Treatment C ranked best, rated “Very Appealing, Very Smooth, Very Compact, and Moderately Thin”. While appearance and compactness were similar across groups, texture, thickness, quality, and overall performance differed significantly, with Treatment C outperforming others. The study concludes that Indian Almond leaves are a renewable, low-cost, and eco-friendly material suitable for cork board production, helping reduce waste. Future research is recommended to explore other organic additives and improved processing methods to enhance durability and commercial value.

Abstract: While animation production is an essential competency in Arts education, students often find the process of traditional methods time consuming and technically challenging in achieving smooth movement and precision. This study explored how the use of the FlipaClip application could improve the creativity, technical proficiency, and performance of Grade 10 Arts students in animation production. The main objective was to determine whether students could produce better outputs with the help and guidance provided by the digital features of the FlipaClip application. The study utilized a quasi-experimental research design, particularly a single-group pretest-posttest approach. Students were given the requirements and themes for creating animation. In the pretest, they were asked to create an animation using the traditional manual flipbook method on paper but had no formal instruction or prior experience in creating one. As a result, their manual outputs were generally lacking in smoothness, timing, and technical quality. Their outputs were evaluated using a scoring rubric focused on technical execution, accuracy, visual clarity, and speed. The intervention involved introducing the FlipaClip application, which guided students through the animation process features like frame-by-frame editing, onion skinning, and time management. In the post test, students used the application to recreate the same animation. The results showed that with the help and guidance of FlipaClip, students produced smoother, visually engaging, and technically sound outputs. Their average scores improved from “Very Satisfactory” in the pretest to “Excellent” in the post test. There was significant difference in the performance of students before and after using the FlipaClip application. The mean score after the use of the intervention was higher than the mean score before the intervention, with a Cohen's d effect size demonstrating an exceptionally strong positive impact. The findings demonstrate that the application not only supported the students in understanding animation principles but also increased their confidence and ability to meet creative and technical standards. Additionally, the low standard deviation in the post test scores indicates a consistent level of improvement across the participants, demonstrating that FlipaClip helped students achieve more creative and higher quality outputs. Therefore, this study recommends the integration of FlipaClip into the Arts curriculum, as it effectively assists and develop students’ capabilities in producing high-quality outputs through a more guided and engaging process.

DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.135101
Abstract: Blending natural fibers combines their desirable qualities to create high performance textile materials while making good use of locally available agricultural waste. This approach reduces environmental strain and supports local economies by turning underutilized resources into valuable, eco-friendly products. This study evaluated the suitability of blended sugar palm and areca leaf sheath fibers as alternative textile materials. Sugar palm fibers offer great strength, while areca leaf sheath fibers provide good flexibility, combining them brings together the best qualities of both. The research used a experimental-developmental design and tested mechanical properties such as breaking elongation and tensile strength, chemical properties including rate of burning, water absorption and wash resistance, as well as user acceptance in terms of hand feel, irregularity of ribs, color shade and presence of plugs. Results showed that the blend has very elastic elongation and durable tensile strength, burns at a moderate rate, absorbs moisture well and keeps its quality after repeated washing. Evaluators rated the material as “Very Acceptable” overall, confirming that it meets practical and aesthetic standards. Using these natural fibers makes good use of agricultural by-products, supports environmental protection and offers economic opportunities for local communities. Future work may explore different mixing proportions, fiber treatments and production methods to further improve performance and expand possible uses. Based on the results, the study concluded that blended sugar palm and areca leaf sheath fibers meet the required quality standards and have good market potential. They serve as a sustainable material suitable for various textile applications.

DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.135102
Abstract: These days, hospitals and clinics keep a lot of patient information on computers. Trying to manage all these records by hand gets really hard as more and more patients come in every day. Doctors often have to look at medical reports, lab results, and a patient's past quickly. Because of this, healthcare places are slowly moving towards smart systems that can help them analyze things and make predictions faster. This project is about finding out patient health risks using computer programs called machine learning algorithms. The system figures out if a patient is at low or high risk by looking at health details like blood pressure, sugar level, cholesterol, heart rate, and age. While we were building it, we tried and tested different algorithms, including Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, Support Vector Machine, and Random Forest.
We built the application using Python and gave it a simple screen so people could easily use it. After trying out the different models, the Random Forest algorithm gave us better results than the other methods we used. This system can help medical staff with their first look at a patient's case and potentially help them spot health risks sooner.

DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2026.135103
Abstract: As the number of digital messages increases companies have a problem with their customer support processes. This is where they sort through emails and decide how to answer them. When people do this job it can be slow. Cost a lot of money if they do not answer emails on time. The old way of doing things relies on people to look at each email and decide what to do with it. This can lead to mistakes and waste time.
In this paper we talk about a way to automate the process of sorting through emails and managing the rules that companies must follow to answer emails on time. Our system can look at emails understand what they say and decide what to do with them without anyone helping. It is like a first step in answering emails.
We built a system that uses a special computer program to understand what emails say. It can look at emails soon as they arrive and use special techniques to understand what the person who sent the email wants and how they feel. Then it turns these emails into tickets that the company can use to answer the emails. The system also makes sure that the company answers emails on time by tracking how long it takes to answer them and sending reminders if someone is running late.
We also made a website that customer support staff can use to answer emails. This website is very fast and easy to use so staff can answer emails quickly. Do not have to wait. By automating the process of sorting through emails our system helps companies answer emails faster makes sure that no important emails are missed and lets customer support staff focus on answering emails. This is a way to manage customer relationships using artificial intelligence.
Our system is a way to manage customer relationships. It uses intelligence to make the process of answering emails faster and more efficient. Customer support staff can focus on answering emails and the system takes care of the rest. This is an improvement, over the old way of doing things.

Abstract: Wildlife conservation, biodiversity monitoring, and ecological research require accurate and efficient identification of animal species. Traditional methods of species identification depend on domain experts and manual examination, which are time-consuming, expensive, and impractical at scale. This paper presents an AI-Powered Animal Species Predictor, a deep learning-based web application that automatically identifies animal species from images using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Transfer Learning. The proposed system employs Efficient Net [1]. B3 as the backbone feature extractor, fine-tuned on a curated dataset of animal images spanning 10 major species. The platform accepts image input through a web interface, performs preprocessing and feature extraction, and outputs the predicted species name along with its confidence score, habitat information, diet, and conservation status. The system is developed using Python with TensorFlow and Keras for the deep learning model, Flask for the web backend, and React.js for the frontend interface. The model achieves an overall classification accuracy of 93.7%, precision of 92.5%, recall of 91.9%, and F1-score of 92.2% on the test dataset. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system outperforms existing baseline models such as VGG16 [3], ResNet50 [2], InceptionV3 [4], and MobileNetV2 [5]. The system is designed to support wildlife conservationists, researchers, educators, and nature enthusiasts by providing instant, reliable, and informative species identification.
