When workplace stress arises, intuition often guides our perception and assessment of its significance. This is because it's clear that when a substantial portion of the adult population is actively involved in the workforce, there's a corresponding recognition of how workplace responsibilities can influence the well-being of working individuals. However, this perception is only partially accurate. Despite a common understanding, we argue that a more profound comprehension of workplace stress's psychological, mental, and physical repercussions is both advantageous and essential. This deeper understanding is critical for understanding how stress can affect productivity and overall well- being, challenging the prevailing misconception. Tanisha Srivastava, a twelfth-grade student, conducted a survey involving healthcare experts such as doctors and practitioners. The survey findings illuminate the widespread presence of workplace stress across diverse professions, emphasizing its significant impact on overall well-being and productivity. Organizations must lead in implementing supportive measures and fostering work environments, prioritizing mental and physical health to combat this challenge. This report reveals that workplace stress is a shared concern among various medical specialties, necessitating proactive efforts to address and reduce it effectively. Encouraging anti-stress initiatives and prioritizing productivity management can lead to a more nurturing and supportive workplace. Much like other sectors, the medical field stands to gain by placing employee well-being at the forefront, ensuring professional success, personal satisfaction, and mental health. In conclusion, the survey responses underscore the pervasive influence of stress on diverse aspects of health, from physical conditions to mental well-being, underscoring the imperative of addressing stress and promoting a balanced work-life dynamic to mitigate its detrimental effects.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a disruptive force, transforming industries and revolutionizing business processes. Among the domains significantly impacted, project management holds immense potential for transformation. AI’s integration promises intelligent automation, data-driven decision-making, and predictive capabilities, addressing challenges in traditional project management methodologies. Successful AI implementations have revolutionized project management, improving forecasting, resource allocation, and risk assessment. Despite the benefits, challenges hinder AI adoption, including data quality, investment uncertainties, workforce readiness, and change management. However, AI’s potential to address gaps in project management is substantial, enabling data-driven decisions, real-time monitoring, resource optimization, and enhanced agility. This research examines AI’s evolution, successful implementations, challenges, and potential implications, providing insights for effective AI integration in project management.
Key Takeaways:
• Project management is one domain that stands out as highly impacted by artificial intelligence, offering immense potential for transformation through AI integration.
• AI-driven solutions in project management promise intelligent automation, data-driven decision-making, and enhanced predictive capabilities, addressing traditional methodological limitations.
• Despite challenges, AI holds substantial potential to address existing gaps in project management practices.

The calophyllum inophyllum is a potential source of non-edible vegetable oil for producing biodiesel because of its ability to grow in a wide range of climate conditions, easy cultivation, high fruit production rate, and the high oil content in the seed. The biodiesel is extracted through transesterification process with methanol and NaOH as catalyst. The biodiesel was blended with diesel by various percentages such as B0, B25, B50, B75 and B100. The blends were prepared on a volume basis. Density, kinematic viscosity, flash point and fire point, these are the four main fuel properties that were investigated. The results showed that the density, viscosity, flash point and fire point of diesel fuels (B0) are lower than the calophyllum inophyllum biodiesel (B100). Therefore, the density, viscosity, flash point and fire point of the blend increases with the increase of biodiesel concentration.

Solar panels-the vital element of this SSHS makes use of exhausted energy. Compared to all other energy solar energy is abundant and free that can be used to charge batteries used for any module or electrical kits which are obvious for daily usage. The Smart Charge Controller will be designed such, so that the solar battery does not get over charged thereby ensuring no reduction of durability of the battery. This kind of system requires sensors to sense whether the battery is fully charged or not. After fully charged, detection safety can be achieved by designing a logic system in the charger, which will automatically disconnect or cut power to the battery when it is fully charged. When the solar batteries come into account, they get charged in a very short time period considering of the solar/sun/light hours per day, which is 5 hours in Bangladesh; whereas Diesel Battery Charging Stations (DBCS) take 1-2 days.
