This issue of the International Journal of Advance Research and Innovation presents a range of unique and varied studies.

In keeping with the rising focus on our carbon footprints, climate change and the environment are heavily featured throughout this issue. This is evident through studies such as ‘Reduction of Toxic Parameters in Effluents Through Coagulation and Flocculation Using Natural Plant Fibers,’ ‘Wetlands and their Role in Water Conservation: A Review,’ ‘Biological Waste Gas Treatment using Membrane Based Technology,’ ‘Solar Industrial Process Heating system for Indian Automobile Industry,’ ‘Study on Air Quality in the Near Field of MMA –A Case Study,’ ‘Energy Efficient Hybrid Digital Weighing Scale,’ ‘Comprehensive Analysis of Effect of Accumulation of Dust on a Solar Panel,’ ‘Impact on Ground Water Contamination by Storage of Municipal Solid Waste Under Open Sky,’ ‘Methods for Improving Thermodynamic Energy and Exergy Performance of Vapor Compression Refrigeration Systems Using Thirteen Eco-Friendly Refrigerants in Primary Circuit and Tio2 Nano Particles Mixed with R718 Used In Secondary Evaporator Circuit for Reducing Global Warming and Ozone Depletion,’ ‘Performance Evaluations of Concentrated Solar Thermal Power Technology’ and ‘Experimental and Cfd Studies On Heat Transfer and Friction Factor Characteristics of A V-Trough Solar Water Heater.’

Machine-heavy or engineering-related studies also find a place in this issue in studies such as ‘To Plot Graph and Establish Relationship Between Component Weight and Wall Thickness for a Component Manufacturing in Gas Assist Injection Moulding,’ ‘An Experimental Study on Electro-discharge Machining of Al2014/Al2O3 Composite,’ ‘Surface Texture Analysis in Milling of Mild Steel Using HSS Face and Milling Cutter,’ ‘Micro-Channel Fabrication Using Electrical Discharge Machining Process and Optimization of Parameters,’ ‘Optimisation of Process Parameters Friction Stir Welding,’ ‘Optimization of Process Parameters of CNC Milling,’ ‘Optimization of Process Parameters in WEDM Process’ and ‘Development of Framework for Analyzing the Barriers in Total Productive Maintenance.’

Additionally, this issue heavily focused on studies rooted in scientific concepts such as ‘Natural Clay -An Adsorbent for Basic Dye,’ ‘Dielectric Spectroscopy of Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal Mixture Showing Different Temperature Range,’ ‘A Novel Design Approach of Low Power Consuming Decoder using Reversible Logic Gates,’ ‘Impact of Phasor Measurement Unit onThe State Estimation of Large Power System,’ ‘Adsorption of Zn(II) from Aqueous Solution on Mango Leaves Powder,’ ‘Isolation and Screening of Antimicrobial and Extracellular Pigment Producing Actinomycetes from Chambal Territory of Madhya Pradesh Region, India,’ ‘Exergoeconomic Analysis of Two-stage Thermoelectric Cooler with Genetic Algorithm,’ ‘Effect of Laser Power on Component Strength in Laser Sintering,’ ‘Thermal Performance of a Weir-Type Cascade Solar Still: an Experimental Study,’ ‘Soret and Dufour Effects on an Unsteady MHD Flow through Porous Medium with Hall Current,’ ‘Effect of aspect ratio on the performance and stability of Hydrodynamic Journal Bearings,’ ‘Evaluation of Load and Load Point Displacement Through Three Point Bend Set Up for Dynamic Loading,’ ‘Study the Effect of Pulse Shaper on Dynamic Compressive Behavior of AL2014-T6 and AL7075-T6,’ ‘Solutions of the Acoustic Problem in the 3D Form of the Helmholtz Equation Using DRBEM,’ ‘Effects of Variation in Evaporator and Condenser Temperature on Cascade Condenser Temperature, COP and Second Law Efficiency of a Cascade Refrigeration System,’ ‘Thermodynamic (Energy-Exergy) Analysis of Solar Assisted Power-Cooling Combined Generation Systems,’ ‘Mathematical Modeling of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell and Gas Turbine Hybrid System for Enhancing Thermal Performance,’ ‘Failure Analysis of First Stage Gas Turbine Blade’ and ‘Solutions of the Acoustic Problem in the 3D Form of the Helmholtz Equation Using DRBEM.’

Any discussion surrounding contemporary subjects would not be complete without techno-centric studies. This has been addressed through studies such as ‘A Novel Method for Image Analysis and Exudates Detection in Retinal Images,’ ‘Ranking of Software Effort Estimation Selection Criteria Based On Fuzzy Set Theory’ and ‘Conceptual desing of a GRC Robot as the New Generation of Guardrail Cleaners.’

Economics and business-centric studies such as ‘A Review of Theories on Under Pricing of IPOS,’ ‘Financing Mechanisms to Support MSME and Startups: Role of the Capital Market’ and ‘Flash Sales – The Game Changer in Indian E-Commerce Industry’ also found a place in this issue in addition to studies focussed on law & literature such as ‘Consumer Protection Act, 1986: Issues and Challenges’ and ‘Happy Days- A Study in Existentialism.’

Last but not least, other niches are explored through studies such as ‘Becoming an Employer-of-Choice: An Effective Talent Management Strategy,’ ‘Application of Statistical Tools and Hypothesis Testing of Adsorption Data Obtained for Removal of Heavy Metals from Aqueous Solutions,’ ‘Issues, Prospects, Opportunities and Challenges of Health Tourism in India’ and ‘Food-Borne Diseases and Techniques to Detect Food-Borne Pathogens and Their Limitations.’

We hope that the wide range of topics discussed in this issue will provide our readers with "food for thought" and intellectual stimulation. We really appreciate the readers' support and all the authors' contributions to the global conversation on these subjects.
