B3) Ai-Enabled Religious Pilgrimage: A Human Centred Sacred Framework For Authenticity And Responsible Transformation, Parichay Parivesh, Razaq Gili Raj

International Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage Conferences

This paper examines how artificial intelligence is reshaping pilgrimage tourism in India by mediating the practical, emotional and spiritual dimensions of sacred travel. While AI is increasingly used in tourism for personalised recommendations, multilingual assistance, predictive crowd management, virtual interpretation and service automation, its application in religious travel requires deeper cultural and ethical reflection. Using India’s large and diverse pilgrimage ecosystem as the focal context, the paper argues that AI should not be treated merely as a tool for efficiency, but as a socio-technical mediator that influences access, authenticity, ritual participation, trust and post-journey meaning-making.

The paper proposes a Human-Centred …

Sustainable Retrofitting Strategies Of Residential Roofs To Meet Minimal Energy Consumption Targets In The Uae, Alyazia Maktoum Alsheraifi

Cognitive Autonomy In The Age Of Ai: A First-Year University Writing Teacher’S Case For Embodied Learning, Rachel M. Terry

Essays in Education

Cognitive autonomy in the age of AI is becoming an urgent concern in higher education. This article argues that first-year writing instruction should recover cognitive autonomy and embodied learning as correctives to technocratic habits shaped by generative AI, digital convenience, and an overreliance on optimization. Drawing on the author’s positionality as a first-year university writing teacher, it examines how students increasingly treat knowledge as detachable information rather than as something formed through disciplined engagement. The article includes examples of handwritten note-taking and annotation as embodied learning that slows thought, deepens synthesis, and supports student agency. It concludes that education should …

Generalized Delayed Black–Scholes Formula, Bi Gole Hubert Le, Auguste Aman

Journal of Stochastic Analysis

The aim of this paper is to derive an explicit pricing formula for European options when the underlying asset follows a linear generalized delay differential equation in two distinct financial markets. The pricing methodology is based on the construction of an equivalent martingale measure using Girsanov’s theorem. Our models preserve both the no-arbitrage condition and market completeness. As such, this work extends the framework previously developed by Arriojas et al. in [16], providing a broader class of delay-based option pricing models.

Robust Optimal Consumption, Investment And Reinsurance For Recursive Preferences, Elizabeth Dadzie, Wilfried Kuissi Kamdem, Marcel Ndengo

Journal of Stochastic Analysis

This paper investigates a robust optimal consumption, investment, and reinsurance problem for an insurer with Epstein-Zin recursive preferences operating under model uncertainty. The insurer’s surplus follows the diffusion approximation of the Cramér-Lundberg model, and the insurer can purchase proportional reinsurance. Model ambiguity is characterised by a class of equivalent probability measures, and the insurer, being ambiguity-averse, aims to maximise utility under the worst-case scenario. By solving the associated coupled forward-backward stochastic differential equation (FBSDE), we derive closed-form solutions for the optimal strategies and the value function. Our analysis reveals how ambiguity aversion, risk aversion, and the elasticity of intertemporal substitution …

An Itô Integral For A Two-Sided Lévy Process, Raluca Balan, Jaime Garza

Journal of Stochastic Analysis

In this article, we construct an Itô integral with respect to a two-sided finite-variance Lévy process {L(x)}x∈R, without a Gaussian component. Using Rosenthal inequality for discrete-time martingales, we give an estimate for the p-th moment of this integral, for any even integer p ≥ 2. Then, using Poisson-Malliavin calculus, we show that the Itô integral is an extension of the Hitsuda-Skorokhod integral with respect to the compensated Poisson random measure associated to the Lévy process.

Dynamic Context‑Aware Tokenization For Intent‑Driven Agent‑To‑Agent Transactions, Chandra Shekhar Matam, Harshwardhan Tripathi, Nancy Lakra

Defensive Publications Series

The present disclosure relates to a dynamic tokenization system for facilitating intent-driven transactions between autonomous agents. The system includes a context-aware token that encodes metadata defining multiple conditional spending profiles associated with distinct transaction intents. An intent declaration module receives specified transaction intents from the initiating autonomous agent, while a policy engine evaluates the declared transaction intent along with contextual factors such as agent identity and historical transaction behavior. A dynamic parameterization mechanism updates the metadata of the context-aware token in real-time, establishing context-specific limits on spending, merchant restrictions, transaction velocity, and expiration rules. During authorization, an authorization network validates …

Regulating Operational States Of An On‑Chip Power Controller, Janardan Prasad

Defensive Publications Series

System‑on‑chip architectures often employ primary power controllers to direct the operational states of various internal sub‑systems. Problems can arise during periods of sub‑system inactivity, as the primary power controller remains active to monitor the sleeping domains, resulting in continuous power consumption. The disclosed technology utilizes a secondary power controller manager to govern the clocking and power states of the primary power controller. By evaluating hardware handshakes, initiating duration counters, and deploying finite state machines, the power controller manager transitions the primary power controller into a clock‑gated or power‑gated state during extended periods of sub‑system inactivity. In this way, the disclosed …

Automated Emulation Of Life Cycle States And Configuration Fuses, Rohit Sinha, Afshin Hosseinipour, Kyle Rupnow, Janardan Prasad, Rama Thotakura

Defensive Publications Series

System-on-Chip devices often use One-Time-Programmable (OTP) fuses to maintain permanent configuration data, including manufacturing life cycle states and security provisioning. Because programming these physical fuses is an irreversible process, manufacturers frequently delay the testing of end-user features that rely on final fuse states until the concluding stages of manufacturing. Such delayed testing may result in late-stage defect discovery, additional hardware revisions, and longer debugging efforts. The disclosed hardware architecture facilitates the dynamic, non-destructive emulation of configuration fuse states. By employing a multiplexing unit and dedicated control logic, the hardware architecture selectively routes customizable configuration data from a volatile internal memory …

Multi‑Scan Enable (Mse) Hybrid Methodology For At‑Speed Transition Delay Fault Testing, Vevekanenda Gonugunta, Ankit Garg, Vipin Kakkatt, Aravinda Acharya

Defensive Publications Series

Test engineers utilize at‑speed transition delay fault testing to maintain product quality in sub‑nanometer semiconductor designs. The standard launch‑on‑capture (LOC) methodology may face controllability limitations due to functional logic dependencies. These dependencies may prevent the testing system from activating targeted transitions, which might lead to test escapes. While alternative methods (e.g., launch‑on‑shift (LOS), control test points) exist, these alternative methods may introduce timing closure challenges or performance degradation in high‑frequency circuits. This disclosure describes a hybrid methodology utilizing localized multi‑scan enable (MSE) generator logic. A testing system temporarily enables a localized shift mode on specific launch flip‑flops to transform sequential …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Enterocytozoon bieneusi is now recognised as an emerging pathogen, which can cause a series of intestinal diseases in humans and animals. However, limited information is available about the occurrence of E. bieneusi in hedgehogs. In this study, a total of 205 fecal samples of captive wild hedgehogs (Erinaceus amurensis) were collected from two wildlife conservation centers in Henan and Anhui provinces, China. Genomic DNA was extracted from the stool samples and screened by nested PCR targeting the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences. The overall prevalence of E. bieneusi in captive wild hedgehogs was 44.4% (91/205). Five zoonotic genotypes were identified, …

The African Short Story: Defining A Genre, James Gaasch

BOUHOUT

This article proposes a definition of the African short story as a distinct literary genre, differentiating it from the African folk tale and the novel. Drawing on Fredric Jameson's concept of national allegory and examples from Ousmane Sembene, Myriam Warner-Vieyra, and J.-P. Tati Loutard, it argues that the genre's specificity lies in its allegorical structure linking individual experience to collective postcolonial history.
