A robust and dynamic supply chain can be developed using advanced digital technologies, enabling real-time information sharing. This study provides a conceptual framework for effective supply chain digitalization by considering the key decision-making factors and interrelationships. The key decision-making factors affecting the digitalization process are identified from the literature and consultation with industry and academia experts. A conceptual framework is developed using the integrated systems model approach and DIKW (Data, Information, Knowledge, and Wisdom) hierarchy.

Digital twin and physical internet adoption based on advanced digital technologies is gaining significance in the recent times. Digital twin is one of the enabling technologies that link actual physical system with its virtual depiction using advanced digital technologies. In order to leverage its potential, firms have instigated to adopt digital twin and physical internet for real-world applications.

The concept of eco-efficiency is an important step in the move towards sustainable development. In the present day business, organizations have to take care of both the economic growth and environmental impact. Eco-efficiency determines the value of a product considering its environmental impact. In this research, the eco-efficiency requirements of an electronics industry are analyzed. The Customer requirements (CRs) and Design requirements (DRs) are identified for increasing the eco-efficiency in the industry.

This is mainly concerned with the cultural mapping of cuisines of the tribal/ Adivasi communities of Kerala. A cultural mapping to understand the culinary habits of the native tribal population will help in sensitizing the people regarding the necessity to preserve and cultivate the natural and ethnic products, which will ultimately help in guaranteeing food sufficiency. In the post-pandemic world, where people are more concerned with health and lifestyle diseases, embracing one’s roots through the culinary will help in guaranteeing a healthy generation.

India has the largest dairy industry in the world and accounts for a significant share of the global emission of livestock methane (CH4), a potent greenhouse gas (GHG). While previous works have examined the large-scale livestock CH4 emissions in India, bottom-up studies are essential to account for the diverse farm conditions and practices across the subcontinent. We developed a Methane Calculator for Indian livestock sector using the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Tier 2 methodology for estimating methane emissions from enteric fermentation and manure management.

Access, equity, affordability, and cost effectiveness are the watchwords of Indian healthcare system. Telemedicine in India is still in its stage of infancy but the impact of Covid 19 pandemic increased the acceptance, demand, and expansion of the Telemedicine technology. In the wake of Covid 19 Pandemic the entire health care system of India is undergoing changes and the need of Telemedicine is significant in this scenario.

Space programmes all over the globe bring in the scientific, technological, industrial, and security capabilities and have been conceived as important tools used to enhance the socioeconomic development through their use of applications in the civilian domain.

The Kerala government launched its ambitious virtual learning programme, with the help of Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education (KITE), targeting 4.5 million students in the state from 1 June 2020. The step was both challenging and progressive, considering the digital divide in the state. This study examines the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the education of Adivasi communities in Kerala.

The extragalactic background light (EBL) is the radiation at all wavelengths accumulated throughout the entire age of the Universe. The full spectrum of EBL captures the energy released by all stars and active supermassive blackholes (quasars), as well as the energy absorbed and reprocessed by the dust and gas in between. Direct observations of the EBL are only possible in the local Universe (see figure below for local observations and our model), and impossible at extreme UV wavelengths because of the shielding from the interstellar medium of our Milky-Way.
