Publication Open Access Psychedelics in Practice: Science, Safety, and the Future of Healing(School of Psychology. Faculty of Humanities and Sciences, SLIIT, 2025-10-10) Ireland, RPsychedelic-assisted therapies are re-emerging as credible options in psychological care amid a high global burden of mental ill-health and limited response to first-line treatments. Once marginal, psychedelics are now part of mainstream research and policy debate, while remaining illegal or tightly restricted in many jurisdictions. Classic and atypical compounds (e.g., psilocybin, MDMA) act via mechanisms that include 5-HT2A–mediated effects, default mode network modulation, increased global connectivity, and a timelimited neuroplasticity window that psychotherapy can harness. Evidence for clinical applications spans treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, end-of-life anxiety, and addictions. Central to positive outcomes is the therapeutic frame, including preparation, supported dosing, and structured integration, rather than medication alone. Risks and contraindications, regulatory realities, and cultural–ethical considerations (including acknowledgement of Indigenous knowledge and equity of access) will be addressed. Implications for practice will be highlighted, alongside succinct directions for future research.Publication Embargo Smart Backpack for Travelers(2020 2nd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2020-12-10) Gunarathne, P.D.R.P.; Amarasuriya, R.M.C.I.; Wickramasinghe, W.A.D.D.; Witharana, A.H.T.N.; Abeygunawardhana, P.K.W.Smart backpack is an application-specific design which guarantees a safe journey for travelers. The smart backpack has a different combination of services connected to a single system. It has a unique design that helps to fulfill its services. The system provides the health status of travelers and environmental status by measuring the quality level of the nearby atmosphere. As a security feature, it contains a human detective sensor-based security system. As well as the research consists of an undying power resource which charges by solar cells, the power source can be used to power up the system and to recharge traveler's devices through a USB power outlet. The Backpack has a user-friendly mobile application. This system also provides a health monitoring feature, which monitors the heart rate and body temperature of the traveler. The traveler can share his/her health status with the system and compute the real-time health condition from the outputs of the health sensors integrated into the backpack. The bag model design and building play a major role and has removable unique mini compartments for all hardware components. It should carry maximum weight with minimum pressure for the back of the traveler with minimum cost.
