AI-Based Image Detection of Rice Crop Diseases Using Deep Learning and Grad-CAM
Abstract: The Indian economy relies heavily on agriculture, and rice is one of the most significant staple crops grown in the country. Nevertheless, rice cultivation faces numerous challenges due to several leaf diseases, such as bacterial leaf blight, brown spot, and leaf smut. These diseases can lead to substantial yield losses and financial burdens for farmers. Therefore, the early detection and classification of these diseases are essential to minimize crop damage …

Articulating Precarious Waters: A Critical Review of Pharmaceutical Contaminants, Their Pathways, and Ecological–Health Risks in the Aquatic Systems of Bihar, India
Abstract: The article examines the emerging yet under-documented issue of pharmaceutical contaminants in Bihar’s aquatic environment, focusing on their types, occurrence, sources, and implications for ecology and human health. Pharmaceuticals and personal care products-including antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics, beta‑blockers, and hormones – are conceptualized as pseudo-persistent pollutants because continuous inputs from households, healthcare facilities, and diffuse anthropogenic activities sustain their presence in surface water and groundwater despite individual compounds having …
