The spillover and cluster effect represent the spatial concentration of firms, which improves competition and firm performance, enabling SEZs’ economic benefits. However, the success of SEZs depends on their implementation, policy design, and locational strategy. The question arises at what cost economic benefits are achieved, environmental and social costs. In the purview of economic benefits outweighing the environmental and social costs, the chapter identifies various sustainability issues associated with SEZs. The chapter is classified into three important parts: economic benefits, environmental costs, and social costs, primarily focusing on developing countries. The first part explores the economic benefits associated with SEZs. The chapter identifies that SEZs act as a catalyst for economic growth among developing countries following the global value chain and agglomeration approaches. The second part discusses various environmental issues due to SEZs, such as overutilization of natural resources, pollution, waste disposal, and carbon emissions by SEZ projects. Further, anthropogenic activities disturb the natural habitat, leading to the loss of the environment and increasing the environmental costs. The last part reviews the impact on marginalized and local communities’ livelihoods. It is observed that due to a lack of skills, marginalized people and local communities suffer from the loss of livelihood and inadequate compensation, which reduces the spillover and multiplier effect. Further, the situation worsens when agricultural land, assets, and properties are lost. Moreover, SEZs bring global competition and cluster effects, which change demography due to the influence of other societies. Thus, there is an enormous environmental and social cost associated with SEZs. The chapter concludes that SEZ sustainability should be followed to achieve long-term economic benefits. It also explores the possibility of trickle-down effects in neighbouring regions where SEZs are established. Furthermore, it explains the ongoing struggle between economic benefits and environmental-social costs. © 2025, Il Sileno Edizioni.

A survey was administered among 290 patients admitted to four accredited tertiary care hospitals. The conceptual framework was tested using structural equation modelling. Results suggest that patients’ perception of patient-centred standards and hospital organisation management standards influences trust, leading to their commitment, which finally results in loyalty to accredited hospitals. The findings indicate a partial but significant mediating role of trust and commitment while predicting patient loyalty. It provides insights to hospital quality and marketing managers.Item Robust Detection of Evasive Fileless Powershell Malware: A Machine Learning Approach(2025 International Conference on Artificial intelligence and Emerging Technologies (ICAIET), Artificial intelligence and Emerging Technologies (ICAIET), 2025 International Conference on,20250828, IEEE Xplore Digital Library, 2025) Meher, Manish Kumar; Rath, Adyasha; Panda, Ganapati; Thanapati, Biswa Bhusana; Puthal, Deepak KumarIn the growing age of cybersecurity, the most obnoxious attack type is PowerShell-based fileless attacks. PowerShell provides the most favored environment to perform advanced tasks. This feature leads to its misuse, especially in the case of fileless attacks. The traditional methods uses signature based detection, are not able to identify the malware. Modern-day scripts are complex and obfuscated, which avoids detection. This paper proposed a machine learning (ML)-based model for malicious sample detection using feature analysis. It efficiently differentiates the benign and malicious samples with a considerable degree of accuracy. To enhance the detection further, the mutual information (MI) technique was applied to retrieve the most efficient and relevant features. This extensive experiment evaluation demonstrated that the proposed ML-based model achieved improved accuracy of 97.64 % and a robust performance.Item Entertainment: navigating legal challenges and opportunities in India compared to EU regulations.(International Review of Law, Computers & Technology, 2025-12) Patra, Soumya Prakash; Dey, DebasmitaThis article analyses AI’s legal, ethical, and commercial challenges in India’s entertainment industry, comparing its fragmented framework (e.g. Copyright Act 1957, DPDP Act 2023) with the EU’s AI Act and GDPR. It demonstrates how AI can diminish legal inequalities by providing affordable IP protection and dispute resolution, empowering marginalised creators. Addressing ethical concerns like deepfakes and bias, particularly in India’s diverse context, the article proposes amendments, sui generis protections, and ethical guidelines to ensure equitable AI use. Policy recommendations balance innovation and creator rights, fostering fair commercial law frameworks through international cooperation.Item Mental health and psycho-social challenges: a reflective review on transgender youth in India(Mental Health and Social Inclusion, 2025) Visalakshmi, S.; Vijayalakshmi, C.; Lathabhavan, Remya; Siva Vijayakumar, T.; Panchasara, Bhavik M.This study aims to emphasize that transgender youths face unique psychosocial challenges in asserting their identity within society.

Additionally, the study examines the role of uncertainty factors in explaining the interconnectedness. Finally, the study examines portfolio diversification opportunities. Design/methodology/approach – A novel R-squared based time-frequency connectedness approach is used to examine interconnectedness using data from March 14, 2018, to June 9, 2023. To compute optimal portfolio weights and hedging ratios for each pair, the DCC-GARCH model is utilized and the best weights and hedge ratios are estimated. Findings – The static connectedness result shows that RWA tokens and commodities demonstrate a relatively lower level of interconnectedness. The dynamic connectedness measures unveil time-varying interconnectedness, particularly heightened during economic events. Moreover, global uncertainty factors are positively associated with connectedness, emphasizing the multifaceted channels through which shock is transmitted. Portfolio analysis underscores potential diversification opportunities between RWAs and commodities, offering insights for informed decision-making in navigating the evolving landscape of blockchain-based assets and traditional commodities. Originality/value – The main novelty of this manuscript is the exploration of RWA tokens, an emerging asset class that has received limited academic attention compared to cryptocurrencies, NFTs and DeFi. Unlike prior studies, this research employs a novel R-Squared-based time-frequency connectedness approach to analyze the static and dynamic linkages betweenRWA and traditional commodities.It also examines global uncertainty factors and incorporates portfolio backtesting, providing insightsfor investorsseeking diversification in tokenized assets.Item Synthesising and Conceptualising Circular Supply Chains: A State-of-the-Art Literature Review(The Journal of Environment & Development, 2024-09) Das, ChiranjitThe advent of the circular economy principle has triggered supply chain transformation in recent years.
