A large number of studies in this issue of the International Journal of Advance Research and Innovation are spread across scientific disciplines; they are machine heavy and rooted in engineering concepts. For starters, ‘Analysis of Embedded Designs in Mechatronic Systems,’ followed by studies such as ‘Drilling and Sawing Machines and their Operations: Review,’ ‘Causes and Effects of Delays in Construction projects: Review,’ ‘Maximum Power Point Tracking Algorithms in Wind Energy System ,’ ‘Smart Walking Stick for Physically Disabled People,’ ‘A study on Types of Lathe Machine and Operations: Review,’ ‘A study on principles of metal cutting: Review,’ ‘Design of Dielectric based Unimorph for enhanced Bending,’ ‘Study of Active Plate Heat Sink using Different Slope Angles,’ ‘Study of Effects of Dimensionless Parameters on Thermal Efficiency of Enhanced Solar Liquid  Collector with Coiled Wire Inserts,’ ‘Surface Performance Analysis of in House Developed Digital Light Processing based 3D Printer,’ ‘Finite Element Simulation of Various Biomaterials based Knee Implants,’ ‘Effect of Fill Angle on Adhesion Strength of 3D Print on Cotton Fabric in Shear Mode’ and ‘Effect of overhanging of tool, cutting speed and feed rate on surface roughness of SW17 hexagon produced on CNC turning machine with C-axis.’

Additionally, studies such as ‘Thermodynamic functions of 1, 2, 3- tri-meth-oxy-benzene and m-methyl-meth-oxy benzene’ and ‘Thermodynamic study of solarized supercritical carbon dioxide cycle’ bring to light, the usage of physics concepts.

This issue substantially focused on studies related to climate change, agriculture and resource distribution, essential to our subsistence and survival. These studies include ‘Torrefaction as Solution to Stubble Burning,’ ‘Prediction of crops according to the climate change using statistical machine learning methods,’ ‘Golda Small Scale Irrigation Scheme Evaluation Using Internal Performance Indicators: in Assosa District, Benishangul Gumuz Regional State, Ethiopia,’ ‘Comparative Studies on Strength of Concrete by Partial Replacement of Cement with Marble Dust and Coconut Fibre’ and ‘Impact of Air Purifiers on Indoor Air Quality in a Classroom of DTU.’

Another niche was explored through techno-centric studies such as ‘Use of Computer-Aided Instruction for Effective Teaching and Learning of Physics in Secondary Schools in Makurdi Local Government Area of Benue State’ and ‘Implementation of DMAIC Methodology of Six Sigma in Vocational Education and Training for Quality Improvement.’

This issue would not be complete without the inclusion of studies addressing the tumultuous event of the global pandemic which affected every single sphere of our lives. ‘Education System Post Covid-19 In India: case study’ and ‘Managing Power flow and support provided by SVCS/STATCOMS in maintaining Grid Stability: A Case Study & Learnings there off’ address the same.

Last but not the least, disciplines such as economics and history are also touched up on in studies such as ‘Monetary Policy Regimes and Stock Market Efficiency in Nigeria (2009-2019)’ and ‘Status of Women during Dogra Rule in Kashmir: review’ respectively.

We hope the diversity and variety of studies in this issue illuminates and inspires our readers to make topical contributions to the journal. We are grateful for their support.
