Commemorating CBIT’s 43 years of successful Journey in the Field of Technical Education, the Institute has organized the third ‘Research Day’ in the Institute’s Campus on 17 December 2022, by inviting the Research Scholars, Faculty, Students and other scientists from industry and institutions, engaged in research to participate in the proceedings and present their works as abstracts. There has been an overwhelming response not only from CBIT fraternity but also from the research community across India. The meticulously selected Abstracts have been compiled and published as Book of Abstracts showcasing the Research in Progress and the outcomes of the completed Projects. This compilation of Research Abstracts will serve as a source of knowledge and inspiration to the discerning researchers and also enable them to appreciate the challenges in developing the innovate products while showcasing on the present status of the products and their principles of operation undertaken by other Researches, developers and enthusiastic engineers.

This open access e-proceeding is a compilation of 134 articles presented at the 8th Mechanical Engineering Research Day (MERD'22) - Kampus Teknologi UTeM, Melaka, Malaysia on 13 July 2022.

This is an open access book. It has been our great honor to welcome all the participants to the 4th Asia-Pacific Management Research Conference was held in Surabaya, Indonesia, on May 18th–20th, 2022 as a hybrid conference (virtualy conference). I recalled formulating the concept and conducting this conference with the Research Center and Case Clearing House (RC-CCH) Team back in 2017. The conference encourages fresh and impactful studies that address the latest issues and topics, particularly in economics, management, business, and accounting. The forum particularly welcomes the discussion and sharing among research fellows in a semi-formal academic setting. As we reach the fourth conference, we are confident that we will maintain a contribution to the global literature. It is undeniable that the theme of the COVID-19 Pandemic is the main issue of this fourth conference, but rather than focusing on the misery, we look for models, technologies, and concepts that are beneficial for the economy and businesses to grow toward the new normal. This conference received 136 abstracts, of which 57 were accepted articles in Atlantis Proceeding.
