2025-11-24T10:56:01+00:00

The growth in population has led to a significant surge in construction activities, which has also created challenges in water management. Water is essential in construction, particularly for mixing and curing concrete, as it plays a crucial role in the hydration of cement. In contrast, self-curing techniques are employed to reduce water wastage, as they utilize additional water that is not included in the mixing process to facilitate cement hydration. This study examines the mechanisms of self-curing nature, fresh properties and strength properties of concrete. The mechanical properties of concrete containing self -curing agents are investigated in this study. The study adopted cement content 383 kg/m3, water/cement ratio of 0.55, and 1%, 2%, 3% Polyethylene Glycol-400 were used in concrete mixes to avoid water curing. The results show that, the use of self-curing agents in concrete effectively improved the mechanical properties.The concept of several self-curing agents to reduce water evaporation from concrete and to increase the water retention capacity of concrete compared to conventional concrete. As per the result compressive strength of various mixes of M20 Grade of concrete is reliable. The study concludes that the compressive strength of mixes using self-curing compound (PEG-400) are at par with that of the concrete with conventional curing.

[PAPER ID: 85709] EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE INSOLVENCY AND BANKRUPTCY CODE (IBC) IN MANAGING NONPERFORMING ASSETS (NPAS) IN INDIA: CHALLENGES AND OUTCOMES

2025-12-06T11:30:32+00:00

The enactment of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) in 2016 marked a paradigm shift in India’s approach toward financial discipline, asset reconstruction, and corporate insolvency resolution. Conceived as a comprehensive reform to address the twin challenges of burgeoning nonperforming assets (NPAs) and inefficiencies in the erstwhile recovery mechanisms, the IBC has been heralded as a transformational legal framework. This study undertakes a holistic evaluation of the effectiveness of the IBC in managing NPAs within the Indian banking sector, critically examining its institutional architecture, operational efficiency, and impact on financial stability. The findings suggest that while the IBC has significantly augmented creditor empowerment, instilled greater transparency in debt resolution, and fostered a credit-responsible corporate culture, its delivery has been uneven. Although recovery rates under the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) have shown measurable improvement compared to earlier mechanisms such as SARFAESI and Debt Recovery Tribunals, systemic challenges persist. Judicial congestion, capacity deficits in the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), and strategic litigations by defaulting promoters have contributed to protracted timelines, often diluting the Code’s fundamental objective of timebound resolution. Moreover, the tension between value maximization and creditor recoverability has surfaced in several high-profile cases, underscoring the delicate balance between commercial viability and statutory compliance. By engaging with empirical evidence, key judicial precedents, and comparative insights from global insolvency regimes, this paper highlights both the transformative outcomes and the inherent limitations of the IBC in its present form. The analysis underscores the urgent need for institutional strengthening, harmonization of regulatory frameworks, and adoption of innovative debt-resolution practices to enhance the efficacy of the Code. The study argues that the IBC, though not without shortcomings, has laid the foundation for a more resilient financial ecosystem in India by redefining insolvency jurisprudence and instilling market discipline. Its long-term success, however, will depend on strategic recalibrations, continuous policy refinements, and robust capacity-building measures aimed at evolving it into a more agile and inclusive framework for managing distressed assets.

2025-12-06T11:51:27+00:00

Automatic helmet detection systems are crucial because fatal head injuries from motorcycle and workplace accidents are often caused by riders and workers not wearing helmets. Traditional monitoring methods fail when faced with real-world challenges like occlusions, poor lighting, and varied helmet types. Deep learning models, particularly the YOLO family, CNNs, and Transformer-based architectures, have revolutionized the field, creating highaccuracy, real-time systems essential for safety. This survey systematically reviews these advancements, covering detection models like YOLOv3 through YOLOv11, classification techniques (including hybrid models), and generative models (like GANs for data augmentation). The paper also benchmarks state-of-the-art models and discusses practical applications in smart cities and industrial safety. The focus is identifying open research problems and proposing solutions for next-generation helmet detection systems.
