Background: Numerous malignancies, both benign and malignant is hosted by the sinonasal cavity that poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to otolaryngologist and pathologists. One of the extremely rare neoplasm of the sinonasal cavity is secretory carcinoma (SC), previously called, mammary analogue secretory carcinoma (MASC). Majority of MASCs are localized to the parotid and salivary glands however, it is rarely documented in the sinonasal tract. Herein, we review the reported cases and report a twenty-one-year-old female patient presented to our ear, nose & throat outpatient department of tertiary care center as a polyp in the nasal cavity initially, which was excised on first diagnoses with normal histopathology (H/P). However, a year later she has a recurrence with an invasive course, followed by surgical exploration and confirmed as “Secretory Carcinoma” (SC) on histopathology, immunohistochemistry & genetic confirmation. At two-years follow-up, the patient has no clinical and radiological signs of recurrence. Aim: this review aims to outline the demographic, clinicopathologic, and confirmatory (radiologic, histopathologic, and immunohistochemistry) findings of the published cases. Methods: PubMed, Google Scholar, and MEDLINE search done with search words such as, secretary carcinoma, sinonasal tract, mammary analogue secretary carcinoma. Results: Total eight case including our case included in this review. The male/female ratio of occurrence of the SC of the sinonasal cavity was 3:5 (34.5:62.5%). Majority of the cases (7/8) reported in middle and old age group except one as reported in a 12 years old child. Equal case distribution among smoker ad non-smoker patients. The common symptoms were nasal obstruction, nasopharyngeal secretions, presence of mass, epistaxis and hyposmia. All cases were characterized by the presence of the ETV6-NTRK3 fusion transcript and / or rearrangement of ETV6 gene. Surgical excision with chemo/radiotherapy was the management considered in majority of the cases with good outcome. Almost all eight cases (100%) has no signs of recurrence both clinical and radiologically at a mean follow-up period of one year. Conclusion: Secretary carcinoma of the sinonasal tract is a new entity. More cases / studies are required to know the demographic, clinicopathologic nature, & prognosis of this newly emerging carcinoma.

Minor crimes can still be handled using the concept of a restorative justice approach. Restorative justice has an implementation method by means of penal mediation or by diversion of criminal acts. Penal mediation is used in handling ordinary crimes, in the sense that it is carried out by adults, while the use of diversion is carried out in cases involving children and is in the Children's Court. The problem in this research is how the punishment system for minor crimes is based on Pancasila justice. The research method uses a constructivist paradigm, with a social legal research approach method, and a descriptive research type. Types and sources of data use secondary materials in the form of primary legal materials, secondary legal materials and tertiary legal materials. Data collection methods use literature and qualitative analysis methods. The results of the research are that the punishment system for minor crimes is not yet fair, legal action is still carried out procedurally. One effort that can be made is a policy approach to resolving minor crimes (Tipiring) through restorative justice; so it is necessary to reconstruct the Regulations on Light Crimes Based on Pancasila Justice, namely in the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), in Article 205 Paragraph 1 and the Republic of Indonesia Prosecutor's Regulation Number 15 of 2020 concerning Termination of Prosecution.

This paper proposes a data-driven investment framework for private equity (PE) firms investing in renewable energy projects, drawing on analytical practices and financing innovations from the small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) sector. While SMEs have started to adopt clean energy through performance modeling, predictive analytics and flexible financial instruments, PE investment strategies have remained based on subjective evaluation and traditional financial metrics. This research bridges the gap by combining SME insights with private equity investment principles to identify scalable tools and models that can improve deal screening, ROI estimation and risk management in renewable energy. The methodology used a multi-faceted approach combining literature review, qualitative stakeholder insights and conceptual modeling. The literature review looked at academic and industry publications on SME energy financing and PE investment practices to identify the gaps and opportunities. Qualitative data was collected through interviews and focus groups with PE managers, renewable energy developers and SME owners who had implemented clean energy solutions. These insights informed the development of conceptual models adapting proven SME approaches pay-as-you-go financing and advanced ROI forecasting to the institutional investment context. The methodology prioritized practical applicability while maintaining analytical rigor through triangulation of multiple data sources. Empirical data analysis revealed the key barriers, financing preferences and analytical tools that have shaped SME investment behaviour, providing valuable lessons for institutional investors. The resulting framework is a replicable and interpretable model for evaluating renewable energy opportunities in private markets. This model addresses the main challenges in current PE practices and incorporates data-driven elements that have proven to work in SMEs. The paper concludes with practical recommendations for PE firms’ data-rich decision support systems, performance-linked financial structures and operational analytics in portfolio monitoring.

Odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) are benign yet locally aggressive cystic lesions derived from the dental lamina or its remnants. Predominantly found in the mandible, OKCs often present as asymptomatic radiolucent lesions, occasionally causing symptoms such as swelling and pain. Radiographically, they appear as well-defined, unilocular or multilocular lesions with smooth borders. Microscopically, OKCs feature a thin, parakeratinized epithelium with a high mitotic index, contributing to their aggressive behavior. Treatment typically involves surgical enucleation or resection, with careful attention to ensuring complete removal to minimize recurrence. However, recurrence rates remain relatively high, ranging from 25% to 60%, necessitating close postoperative monitoring, particularly in cases associated with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome. A multidisciplinary approach involving oral and maxillofacial surgeons, pathologists, and geneticists may be required, especially in cases of syndromic association. Early detection and management of recurrences are essential for optimal patient outcomes.

DOI: 10.36348/sjet.2023.v08i12.004
Background: Rural infrastructure, agro-processing, and decentralized energy systems in the Osmanabad district of Maharashtra utilize a significant quantum of rotating machinery (e.g., centrifugal pumps, turbines, and compressors). Regular mechanical failures and erratic equipment breakdowns in these facilities result in substantial loss of productivity and maintenance problems, which can be particularly challenging in resource-poor settings with limited technical support. Objectives: The purpose of this work is to evaluate the effectiveness of AI-based PdM models in detecting faults and preventing machine malfunctions for rotating machinery. This paper aims to design context-sensitive, affordable, and understandable AI solutions that meet rural deployment requirements, to satisfy fault detection accuracy, maintenance cost savings, and stakeholders' trust. Methods: Employing a concurrent mixed-methods approach, the study integrated 6 weeks of multi-sensor data (vibration, temperature, acoustic signals) collected from five rural machinery sites in Osmanabad, with qualitative interviews with technicians and plant managers. Machine learning algorithms (CNNs, LSTMs, Isolation Forests, hybrid TCN-Autoencoders) were trained and validated under the supervised and unsupervised paradigms. The performance measures were the classification accuracy, mean squared error, and stakeholders' usability rating. Results: The fault detection accuracies were all higher than 95% for all the models. CNNs had the best performance with 99.89% for impeller blade faults, and LSTMs had 98.5% for turbine vibration anomalies. The total maintenance costs were decreased by 31% and the downtime was reduced by up to 70%. Technicians had high trust in AI systems, particularly if they were provided with explainable outputs such as fault heatmaps and predictive dashboards. Conclusions: AI-supported PdM systems are capable of generating impactful improvements in equipment reliability and operational efficiency when co-designed with community stakeholders and adjusted for a rural setting. This study adds to mechanical engineering and equitable AI adoption in underserved areas.

Dr Balaji Shivaji Pasare
Page no 323-329 |
DOI: 10.36348/sjet.2023.v08i12.005
Background: CO₂ emissions related to the production of concrete contribute significantly to the global footprint, resulting in approximately 8% of the total anthropogenic CO₂ output. Even as India races to build its rural infrastructure, districts like Osmanabad, with its pervasive climate vulnerability and construction-induced emissions, must grapple with a potent toxic brew of the two. Carbon-neutral concrete especially through CO₂ mineralization or the use of carbon-capturing additives presents a viable way to decarbonize construction while enhancing the material's properties. Objectives: This study aims to assess the feasibility, environmental impact, and stakeholder opinions regarding carbon-neutral concrete technology in Osmanabad. More specifically, the study explores the possibility of using CO₂ mineralization during curing and locally available carbon-capturing additives to reduce embodied carbon in rural infrastructure projects. Methods: A mixed-methods exploratory design was employed, incorporating semi-structured interviews, field observations, focus groups, and technical performance tasks. The research population consisted of 80 informants: engineers, masons, municipal officers, vendors, and teachers. Thematic analysis of qualitative data was conducted through NVivo, and comparable quantitative indicators, including compressive strength and carbonation depth, were benchmarked across pilot sites. Results: There were improvements in the strength of carbon-neutral mixes of up to 25% higher and 30 to 50% in the carbonation depth than the equivalent conventional concrete. Technical professionals had a high level of stakeholder awareness; however, this was lower among field workers. Obstacles were the healing infrastructure, additional expense, and training deficiencies. Considering the local availability versus cost, fly ash and biochar were identified as potential amendments. Conclusion: Carbon-neutral concrete could be an alternative for climate-resilient construction in Osmanabad. Its scale-up relies on policy and support, regionally specific supply chains, and capacity development. Environment: Through the combination of environmental innovation and rural development, Osmanabad is demonstrative of what low-carbon infrastructure could look like in a resource-stripped context.
