The works of Robert Louis Stevenson depict his intense fascination in exploring scientific matters in his literary arena marking his keen interest in areas of psychology, anthropology and aspects of evolutionary theory. In works, such as “Treasure Island” and “Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”, Stevenson uses theories on psychology to interpret and present his characters, there by portraying intersection of science and literature. The life of Stevenson evidently shows the author’s attempts to learn significance of science in explaining and comprehending the mysteries of universe. It is this same interest that influences Stevenson in using his understanding of science to frame the psyche of his own characters. The literary style of imparting scientific knowledge to illustrate one’s characters and draw the narratives eventually opens a new scope of literary technique that develops intersection of science and fiction. The study and analysis of Robert Louis Stevenson’s works help contribute to the debates and discussions on interweaving of fiction and science by opening up various narrative styles and techniques of writing.

In recent years, social media platforms have experienced a surge in popularity, leading to an increase in spam and spammer communities. This paper presents a comprehensive study on spam detection and spammer community detection in social media platforms using machine learning techniques. The proposed approach focuses on three main features: Review-Behavioral (RB) Based features, Review-Linguistic (RL) Based Features, and User-Behavioral (UB) Based Features. By combining these features, we aim to create a robust and accurate spam detection model that effectively identifies spam content and spammer communities in social media networks. The Review-Behavioral (RB) Based features focus on the patterns and tendencies observed in user-generated content, such as the frequency of posting, the time between posts, and the distribution of ratings. Review-Linguistic (RL) Based Features, on the other hand, analyze the linguistic characteristics of the content, including the use of specific keywords, the complexity of the text, and sentiment analysis. Lastly, User-Behavioral (UB) Based Features examine the behavior of users in the social media platform, including their social connections, interactions, and activity patterns. By incorporating these features into a machine learning model, we aim to develop an effective spam detection and spammer community detection system that can be used to protect social media platforms from malicious activities. The results of this study will provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of these features in identifying spam and spammer communities, as well as contribute to the ongoing efforts to improve the security and integrity of social media networks.

The foundation of the Indian economy is family-owned companies, which contribute significantly to the GDP of the nation. These companies do, however, confront several difficulties that can prevent them from expanding and remaining viable. The most important difficulty is succession planning. Families in India generally run their enterprises from generation to generation. Finding the ideal successor, however, can be challenging because it calls for juggling family relationships and commercial savvy. Professionalism is an additional difficulty. Changing from a conventional, hierarchical management structure to a more professional, merit-based strategy is a challenge for many family-owned firms in India.As a result, there can be inefficiencies, a lack of creativity, and challenges in attracting and keeping talent. Another issue faced by family-owned enterprises in India is access to funding. Most of these enterprises rely on internal capital or bank loans, which might be scarce and limit expansion possibilities. Overall, family-owned firms in India have difficulties that call for meticulous preparation, strategic thought, and a readiness to adjust to shifting market conditions over the long term to remain competitive and viable.

Modern technology has made cars less of a status symbol and more of a necessity. One of the industries in our country that is growing the fastest is the auto business. It has become a staple of our daily lives, which is why automobile manufacturers are focusing more on the common male market. The option to purchase an automobile is not a personal one. The marketing environment today has changed from product-based to need-based, giving consumers a wide range of options from which to choose. This study concludes that consumer purchasing behavior plays a vital part in providing marketers with 4 wheels, and there is a wealth of opportunity for more research in this area. Each person has distinctive tastes, interests, perceptions, beliefs, and considerations. In the current state of the automobile industry, there are several options available in every segment, making it risky and challenging work to understand human behavior. Companies must comprehend the precise needs of the client to gain market share. The basic data used in this study was gathered through the distribution of a structured questionnaire. With the aid of several characteristics, an effort is made to research buyer behavior for small-segment vehicles, and data is interpreted under that understanding.

The main success elements for retirement planning and saving behaviour in India are essential for guaranteeing financial security in the post-work years. It's critical to have a clear grasp of the significance of retirement savings. People can be inspired to take action by being informed about the long-term advantages of saving and the possible repercussions of poor planning. The importance of financial literacy cannot be overstated. By making readily available information and tools on several retirement savings choices, including pensions, mutual funds, and provident funds, people are better equipped to make educated decisions and select the best investment vehicles. Consistent saving practices are essential. Developing a routine of consistent saving, no matter the amount, might eventually result in sizable retirement funds. Employer-sponsored retirement plans or systematic investment programmes can encourage people to automate their savings, which can reinforce this practice. Planning for retirement can be considerably improved by enabling laws and incentives.

For many years, organizations looking to grow, capture more market share or improve their competitive advantages looks to mergers and acquisitions (M&A) as strategic tools. Pre-deal analysis and due diligence stand out as essential components of an effective M&A strategy. It is possible to spot potential risks and value drivers by thoroughly analyzing financial statements, operational synergies, cultural fit, and market dynamics. Inadequate due diligence might result in unforeseen difficulties, such as hidden liabilities or clashing cultures, which impede post-merger integration. Planning for integration and effective communication is equally important. Clear communication strategies manage stakeholder expectations both internally and externally while promoting transparency. Furthermore, establishing synergies and reducing disruptions requires thorough integration planning that takes organizational structure, systems, processes, and human resources into account. Third, leadership and cultural compatibility have a big impact on post-M&A integration. Strong leadership and a common vision facilitate the alignment of strategic goals and employee motivation. If not properly resolved, cultural differences between merging businesses might obstruct integration attempts and reduce the intended benefits.
