 Abstract

The progress of a country depends upon the quality of its teachers. They are called nation builders. A good principal, magnificent building, sound infrastructure and good curriculum are useless, if the teachers in any institution are not with positive attitude towards teaching. Teaching is a very respectable profession but even then not all the teachers who are in this pious profession like it. Many prospective teachers join this profession not by choice but by chance or due to other reasons. They are disinterested towards teaching profession. They just take admission in B. Ed course as second choice, if they fail to seek admission in first choice like M.B.A., or any other courses according to their liking and they are generally dissatisfied throughout the training period. This study was conducted to study the attitudes of prospective-teachers towards teaching profession. A sample of 100 prospective teachers, 50 from private and 50 from Government B.Ed. colleges of Muktsar (Punjab) was taken through purposive convenient sampling method. "Teacher Attitude Inventory (TAI)" by Dr. S.P. Ahluwalia was used to collect the data. Mean, SD and t-test were used for the analysis of the data. Research findings revealed that there is no significant difference in the attitudes of prospective teachers studying in private and Government B.Ed. colleges. There is no significant difference in the attitudes of female and male prospective teachers towards teaching profession.

 Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels, often leading to systemic complications. Alloxan-induced diabetes in animal models has been widely used to simulate the pathophysiological aspects of diabetes and study potential therapeutic interventions. Emblica officinalis, commonly known as Indian gooseberry or Amla, has been recognized for its antidiabetic properties owing to its rich phytochemical composition. This study investigates the effects of Emblica officinalis on urea concentrations in diabetic alloxan-exposed mice, as altered urea levels are indicative of abnormal renal function and metabolic disturbances in diabetes. Male Swiss albino mice were divided into four groups: control, alloxan-induced diabetic, Emblica officinalis-treated, and Emblica officinalis-treated diabetic. Diabetes was induced in the respective groups by a single intraperitoneal injection of alloxan monohydrate, and the treatment group received daily oral doses of Emblica officinalis extract. After a specified treatment period, blood samples were collected, and serum urea concentrations were measured using standard biochemical assays. The results demonstrated that alloxan-induced diabetic mice exhibited significantly elevated serum urea levels compared to the control group, indicating impaired renal function, a common diabetic complication. Interestingly, the Emblica officinalis-treated diabetic group displayed a significant reduction in serum urea concentrations compared to the diabetic group, suggesting a potential ameliorative effect of Emblica officinalis on renal function in diabetic mice. The findings of this study highlight the beneficial impact of Emblica officinalis in mitigating urea concentration alterations associated with diabetes. The phytochemical constituents of Emblica officinalis, such as polyphenols and flavonoids, may contribute to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which could play a role in preserving renal function. Further investigations into the underlying mechanisms and long-term effects of Emblica officinalis on diabetic renal complications are warranted. In conclusion, Emblica officinalis supplementation may hold promise as a natural therapeutic approach to mitigate urea concentration abnormalities and potentially protect against renal dysfunction in diabetes. These findings contribute to our understanding of the potential health benefits of Emblica officinalis in managing diabetes-related complications.
