Art therapy is used most commonly to treat mental illnesses and can aid in controlling manifestations correlated with psychosocially challenging behaviours, slowing cognitive decline, and enhancing the quality of life. Art therapy can help people express themselves more freely, improve their mental health, and improve interpersonal relationships. The basis of art therapy is established on the idea that people can recover and feel better via artistic expression. This review examines the current research on how active participation in the arts might improve mental health. A detailed literature search was carried out utilizing essential databases such as PubMed, the WHO's mental health database, and Google and Google Scholar. This review study looks into research done on art therapy and its potential advantages for adult mental health rehabilitation. It focuses on visual art therapy since it's a key to reducing variation within the "creative arts" and defines the peculiar elements and effectiveness of art therapy used by mental health services. It was found that the use of art therapy as an adjunct treatment showed improved mental health in patients.

As criminals and hackers are developing new methods to interfere with the operation of the power grid, the nature of grid vulnerabilities and threats is continuously evolving. The growing interest in transitioning the unidirectional power system to a bidirectional data-driven modern grid will further escalate these issues. The question of cyber security becomes essential in particular critical decisions such as island detection. The incorrect decision of island occurrence may completely disrupt the operation of a portion of the grid, causing substantial damage to electrical equipment and grid maintenance workers. Fast monitoring and accurate control of unplanned islanding detection are essential for distributed generation-based active networks for providing continuous power supply to critical loads. Considering the above aspects, this paper serves on the perspective of different island detection methods and various aspects of cyber security. The type of cyber-attacks is categorized in terms of their behavior. Key points are discussed about how, when, and in what fashion and degree it can harm all the sectors of the grid, i.e., generation, transmission, and distribution system. Finally, the impact of cyber-physical attacks on the islanding decision system is presented. The research remedies for such measures are also presented. Moreover, a comparison is being made among various island detection methods based on the extent of impact of different cyber-attacks on the operation of these methods. Some promising future solutions for cyber-secure island detection methods are also suggested.

Evolution of Building Integrated Photovoltaic's (BIPV) technology has resulted in the development of smart buildings as a clean source of electrical energy generation which can either be stand alone or grid connected systems. This paper briefs about the studies on the role of Internet of Things (IoT) in real-time controlling and monitoring of parameters like tilt angles, defected modules, shading effect in BIPV systems etc which decreases the dc power output. In addition, it also describes the use of IoT for maximum power extraction from BIPV modules present in rooftops and facades. Enabling IoT in BIPV installation makes the overall system cost-effective, energy efficient, reliable and can be operated remotely through android apps, smart phones, laptops, PCs, tablets etc via internet which is very easily accessible in recent times. IoT along with BIPV is showing a new direction towards smart generation from renewable energy resources like solar through PV integrated building or construction materials.
