Article Abstract
Background: Girls' education is crucial for societal progress, yet security concerns remain a significant barrier in various regions. In Kanpur City, India, many families cite safety issues as a reason for limiting educational access for girls. This study aims to examine the impact of security concerns on girls' education, focusing on parental perceptions and societal influences affecting educational equality.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 2000 participants, including parents, students, school administrators, and community leaders in Kanpur City. The survey gathered data on demographic characteristics, perceived security risks, and the impact of these concerns on educational decisions. Responses were analyzed to identify key factors that contribute to safety concerns and to determine how these perceptions influence girls' school attendance and retention.
Results: Results indicated that 70% of participants agreed that security concerns significantly affect decisions regarding girls' education. The main concerns included harassment (60%), road safety (25%), and fears of kidnapping (10%). Additionally, 30% of parents reported discontinuing their daughters' education due to these fears. Respondents highlighted the need for improved school infrastructure, public awareness campaigns, safe transportation options, stricter law enforcement, and government incentives to support girls' education.
Conclusion: The findings reveal a strong association between security concerns and limited educational opportunities for girls. Addressing these issues through enhanced safety measures, community education, and government support could improve educational equity and encourage families to invest in girls' education. This study underscores the importance of addressing security to foster an inclusive educational environment in Kanpur City.

Agriculture intensification represents an essential strategy to ensure food security for the growing human population, but it also poses considerable environmental concerns. Climate change and associated projections of an increased frequency of extreme precipitation and runoff events may amplify nutrient dynamics along the watershed-lake continuum, and could further exacerbate the poor water quality conditions downstream. Identifying hotspot locations with higher propensity for sediment and nutrient export and designing effective mitigation measures at the source is more critical than ever.

The increasing adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) in energy systems has brought significant advancements but also heightened cyber security risks. Virtual Power Plants (VPPs), which aggregate distributed renewable energy resources into a single entity for participation in energy markets, are particularly vulnerable to cyber-attacks due to their reliance on modern information and communication technologies. Cyber-attacks targeting devices, networks, or specific goals can compromise system integrity.

Forearm shaft fractures are the most common fractures of the upper extremity in young adults. By definition, these fractures are diaphyseal fractures; however, due to the complex functional unity formed by the forearm shaft during motion both bone forearm fractures are treated as intra-articular fractures [1, 3]. This is why the gold standard of treatment in adults is osteosynthesis.

Introduction: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic thrust individuals from nonhealthcare occupations, such as public transit, into the role of frontline essential workers. Unlike frontline healthcare workers, these individuals lacked the training, experience, supplies, equipment, and supervision that would typically be expected for healthcare and first response personnel during a pandemic. New York City transit workers were particularly impacted due to high rates of mortality, illness, and quarantine and isolation, yet data are sparse on their perceptions of worksite preparedness and response.

With the widespread adoption of machine learning cloud platforms, concerns over potential privacy risks in model training algorithms have grown. Attackers can exploit these platforms by deploying malicious algorithms to execute correlation value encoding attacks (CVEA). This attack mainly leverages the model's huge capacity for memorization, covertly embedding training data into the model's parameters.
