Highlights of Current Issue

Volume 15 Issue 1 Year 2025

The latest issue of the SKIT Research Journal (Volume 15, Issue 1: 2025) offers a multidisciplinary compilation of research contributions spanning engineering, healthcare, sustainability, data science, and literature. This edition features innovative approaches, applied methodologies, and insightful reviews that reflect the evolving dynamics of contemporary academic inquiry.

This issue includes significant contributions such as the classification and analysis of medicinal plants, the use of Power BI for business intelligence, and CBR value enhancement using geosynthetics for infrastructure development. Research on river discharge estimation in the Godavari River Basin and water resource management in Western Rajasthan addresses critical environmental and hydrological challenges. The short column effect and optimization of pressure vessels further enhance the discourse on structural and mechanical engineering.

Advances in electrical and power systems are well-represented with studies on current differential relay using Arduino, improved power system stabilizer performance, and optimization of thermal generation scheduling with dynamic programming. Efficient VLSI implementation and warpage control in injection moulding highlight progress in electronics and manufacturing technologies, while the effect of fibre layer alteration on polymer composites using the VARTM process showcases materials innovation.

Papers in sustainability explore the sustainable use of land to protect the planet, while those focused-on risk mitigation examine forecasting in calamities. In the healthcare domain, innovations address emerging technologies and applications, with dedicated work under the theme Innovations in Healthcare.

Interdisciplinary applications of mathematics and artificial intelligence are explored through mathematics in machine learning, while literature and cultural studies are enriched by papers analyzing emotions in the works of Munro, Lessing, and Lahiri, and investigating colonial trauma in Kim Scott’s "That Deadman Dance."

This volume affirms the journal’s dedication to advancing scholarly collaboration and promoting informed discourse across domains, providing valuable insights for academics, practitioners, and policymakers alike.
