The United Nations advocates for sustainable urban planning and design, emphasizing green infrastructure initiatives to mitigate urban heat island effects and enhance the resilience and livability of cities globally. To address urban heat challenges, a study was conducted in Chennai, India, from April to June 2023. The study focused on assessing temperature dynamics on a building's terrace by comparing a well-maintained garden area with an exposed region. Temperature and humidity sensors were deployed in both the garden and exposed areas of the terrace, as well as within rooms beneath it, to monitor hourly temperature fluctuations. The findings indicate a significant reduction in internal room temperatures in areas with rooftop gardens, ranging from 4 to 11 °C, depending on the time of year and sun's position, compared to rooms with fully exposed roof configurations. Additionally, simulation studies were performed to validate these findings, suggesting that optimizing the distribution of soil beds and plant density across the roof could yield an additional temperature reduction of 3-4 °C, resulting in an overall difference of up to 14-15 °C. The study highlights the efficacy of rooftop gardens in providing cooling effects during daylight hours and maintaining temperature parity post-sunset. Through analysis of sensor data, the research elucidates the intricate relationship between green infrastructure and thermal comfort, offering insights for energy-efficient building design and resilient urban planning. The findings underscore the potential of rooftop gardens in fostering a more comfortable, energy-efficient, and sustainable urban living environment.

Mitigating urban heat island and enhancing indoor thermal comfort using terrace garden.

Fake-news detection requires systems that are multilingual, multimodal, and explainable-yet the majority of the existing models are English-centric, text-only, and opaque. This study introduces two key innovations: (i) a new multilingual-multimodal dataset of 74,000 news articles in Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Telugu, and English with paired images, and (ii) Hybrid Explainable Multimodal Transformer Fake (HEMT-Fake) that integrates text, image, and relational signals with hierarchical explainability. The architecture combines transformer embeddings, a convolutional neural network-bidirectional long short-term memory (CNN-BiLSTM) text encoder, residual network (ResNet) image features, and graph sample and aggregate (GraphSAGE) metadata, all of which are fused via multi-head attention. Its explainability module unites attention, Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP), and local interpretable model-agnostic explanations (LIME) to provide token-, sentence-, and modality-level transparency. Across four languages, HEMT-Fake delivers a ~ 5% Macro-F1 improvement over Cross-Lingual Language Model with RoBERTa (XLM-R) architecture and Multilingual Bidirectional Encoder Representations From Transformers (mBERT), with gains of 7-8% in low-resource languages. The model achieves 85% accuracy under adversarial paraphrasing and 80% on artificial intelligence (AI)-generated fake news, halving robustness losses compared to baselines. Human evaluation reveals that 82% of explanations are judged to be meaningful, confirming transparency and trust for fact-checkers.
