AU experts to study impact of screen time on youngsters in state
1 2 Prayagraj: In an era dominated by smartphones, tablets and digital platforms, experts from Allahabad University are now focusing on the growing concerns over screen addiction among youngsters. The department of Psychology is spearheading a ground-breaking two-year research project aimed at studying the impact of screen time on the overall well-being of young adults in state. The study, led by Assistant Professor at the department, Manikandaprabu M, is backed by an Rs 18 lakh grant from the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR), New Delhi. Spanning from April 2025 to March 2027, the research will engage an estimated 1,100 participants from prominent educational cities such as Lucknow, Kanpur, Prayagraj, and Noida. These urban centres are considered educational hubs and represent diverse socio-cultural backgrounds, making them ideal for conducting a comprehensive study on youth behaviour and digital consumption patterns. The objective of the study is to explore both the detrimental and beneficial effects of screen time on physical, mental and social health. A random controlled intervention (methodolgy) will be used, making to understand the nuances of digital device usage among Indian youth. The intervention will be customised to identify risk factors, highlight potential benefits, and develop strategies for more mindful and productive use of digital technology. "Screen time has become an integral part of our daily lives, but we are still unravelling how it shapes our psychological and social experiences," said Manikandaprabu. "Through this study, we aim to offer science-backed insights and practical recommendations to help young adults strike a healthier balance in their digital habits," he added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Scarlett Johansson, 40, Shows Off Her Real Size In A New Vacation Photos 33 Bridges Undo Aman Singh, a PhD scholar of the same department, emphasised that the solution is not to reject technology, but to learn how to coexist with it in a healthy manner. He added that good sleep, regular physical activity and active social engagement can serve as protective factors against the harmful effects of excessive screen use. "Previous research in the field reflects a mixed understanding. Studies by scholars such as Vicente Javier Clemente-Suárez and Andrew K. Przybylski show that moderate use of digital devices can enhance certain cognitive functions like decision-making, planning, and working memory. However, excessive screen time is widely associated with negative outcomes including depression, anxiety, reduced attention span, poor memory, and low self-esteem, as supported by findings from researchers like Mohd Sheikh Saleem and Jean M. Twenge", says Aman Singh. The research team plans to collaborate with local universities and community organisations, facilitating greater reach and deeper community engagement. Once completed, the findings will be shared through academic journals, conferences, and public awareness campaigns to influence educational and public health policies on responsible technology use.

Predicting the Maintenance Future: How Intangles is Keeping Bay Area Buses Rolling
Public transit systems face relentless demands, requiring buses to reliably operate under diverse and often challenging conditions every day. Vehicle breakdowns lead to significant disruptions for passengers, increased maintenance expenses and logistical headaches, posing persistent challenges for fleet operators such as County Connection, which serves communities throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Intangles, an innovative leader in predictive fleet analytics, recently announced a transformative partnership with County Connection to substantially improve the reliability, efficiency and operational effectiveness of their transit fleet. At the heart of this collaboration is Intangles' groundbreaking predictive maintenance system, which harnesses sophisticated, physics-based artificial intelligence to anticipate and address vehicle issues well before traditional warning systems alert drivers. 'Our predictive analytics technology raises alerts long before the vehicle's check engine light is activated,' explained Anup Patil, CEO and founder of Intangles. 'Fleet operators receive detailed, actionable insights into precisely which vehicle components are underperforming. This empowers maintenance teams to undertake timely, preventive actions, drastically minimizing vehicle downtime and operational disruptions.' County Connection has experienced remarkable benefits from this proactive approach, demonstrating significant returns on investment. By adopting Intangles' predictive insights, the fleet has successfully optimized its maintenance scheduling, streamlined complex diagnostic processes and substantially cut down on costly emergency roadside breakdowns. Aman Singh, co-founder and analytics lead at Intangles, emphasized additional benefits such as fuel efficiency gains: 'Our platform detects operational inefficiencies such as excessive vehicle idling or compromised diesel exhaust fluid quality, enabling fleets to save thousands of gallons of fuel each year.' An additional crucial advantage for fleets operating in California, particularly County Connection, is enhanced compliance with rigorous California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulations. Traditionally, fleets have faced the cumbersome task of manually performing biannual diagnostic data collection required by CARB, often leading to significant administrative and labor costs. Intangles automates this entire process, delivering seamless regulatory compliance and dramatically reducing manual workload. Intangles' predictive technology is not limited to diesel-powered vehicles - it also adeptly addresses the unique challenges faced by electric and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses. For electric buses, Intangles' AI-driven systems comprehensively monitor battery health, optimize charging and discharging cycles, and track real-time energy consumption, providing critical insights for transit agencies investing in sustainable mobility. In the case of CNG buses, Intangles' advanced models accurately detect and predict issues such as cylinder misfires, engine overheating, and potential tank leakages, enhancing safety and operational reliability. 'Our collaboration with County Connection underscores Intangles' commitment to fundamentally redefining fleet maintenance and operations through cutting-edge predictive artificial intelligence,' Patil added. 'We are thrilled about the prospects ahead as we continue expanding across North America. Our goal remains clear: delivering transformative efficiencies, unmatched reliability, and tangible cost savings to transit operators and commercial fleet managers.' Looking to the future, Intangles is also actively developing innovative partnerships and expanding its technological capabilities. These include state-of-the-art video telematics that combine driver monitoring systems with predictive vehicle analytics, providing a comprehensive safety and performance solution. As Intangles accelerates its growth across the North American market, it is poised to continue raising the bar for predictive fleet analytics, ensuring smoother, safer journeys for millions of passengers throughout California and beyond.
