 Abstract

Because they exceed their bulk counterparts in terms of tunable physical, chemical, and biological properties, nanomaterials (NMs) have become increasingly important in technological breakthroughs. NMs are divided into groups according on their size, make-up, shape, and place of origin. Each classification becomes more valuable as we become better at predicting the particular characteristics of NMs. Toxicological problems are unavoidable as NM production continues to develop and find more industrial uses. This review's objective is to compare artificially created (engineered) and naturally occurring nanoparticles (NPs) and nanostructured materials (NSMs) in order to pinpoint their unique nanoscale characteristics and pinpoint specific knowledge gaps regarding the evaluation of NPs and NSMs' environmental risk.

 Abstract

Train to Pakistan a pre-eminent novel by Khushwant Singh represents the partition situations in Mano majra, a small village in the Indo-Pakistan border. Formerly during Independence, our society is gender biased and besides that partition brings a new dimension to the earlier. This work explores the sexual trauma, pain and tolerations of women during and after partition. Women were not given much significance in the society rather than considering them as creatures doing their menial household chores and they are meant to give pleasure to men in every way possible despite age. Though pure and gracious they were the first to be in pain and guilt in any setting. The man woman relationships are unequal. A women character is expected to give her body to men in barter of external nominal things. Women characters were not given much importance in this novel and it focuses on the male chauvinist view of women.

 Abstract

The crucial factor that determines the acceptability of a medication and also the flexibility of its administration is its solubility. Significant portions of recently invented drugs are water insoluble, which makes them poorly bioavailable and limits continuous improvement. By combining these acknowledged rivals into Nanosuspension, they can now be conveyed. Nanosuspension invention addressed the issue of medications with poor water solubility and inadequate bioavailability. Using the Nanosuspension technology, The drugs' bioavailability and stabilization can be improved. All medications that are liquids insoluble can benefit from Nanosuspension treatment, which is inexpensive and effective. To create nanosuspensions, a wet mill, high strain homogenizer, melt emulsification method, emulsion solvent evaporation, and super significant fluid systems are utilised. It is possible to create nanosuspension using preservatives, both natural and organic solvents, and other substances such buffers, salts, polyols, osmogent, and cry protectant. Additionally possible methods for administering nanosuspensions include oral, parenteral, aspiratory, and ocular. Nanosuspensions can be employed for mucoadhesive hydrogels and targeted drug administration when used as ocular inserts. The main considerations for better use and scaling up of nanosuspensions include maintaining stability in solution and in the solid state and resuspendability without coalescence. The use of nanosuspensions in a variety of drug delivery methods, including transdermal, buccal, nasal, ocular, and oral is now also the topic of ongoing investigation. Oral drug delivery system of nanosuspension with a receptor mediated endocytosis, which is a desirable capability, can resolve the majority of permeability limiting absorption and associated challenges that adversely affect bioavailability. There are a number of formulation obstacles that protein- and peptide-based medications currently encounter that can be handled well with development of current digital era like Nanosuspension.

 Abstract

A major silk protein called fibroin consumes the perfect characteristics to be used such as a biomaterial for medication supply. Recently, here has been a proportion of research done on the creation of fibroin nanoparticle (FNPs) aimed at various medicinal purposes. FNP can encapsulate a variation of therapeutic substances, excluding tiny and large molecule, protein, enzyme, vaccine, and hereditary material because of their adaptability and chemical modifiabilitys. FNPs can also be supplied non-parenteral as well as parenteral. The fundamental facts about the origin and properties of silk and fibroin are briefly summarized in this review, which is followed by the most recent information on the techniques used to prepare and characterize FNPs. Additionally, their uses in medicine as a method of drug delivery are thoroughly investigated using a variety of administration methods, including parenteral, oral, trans-dermal, ophthalmic, orthopedic, and respirational. To end with, the issues, potential fixes, and prospects for these systems' future are examined.

During the spread of Corona virus (SARS-CoV 2), health care professionals played a crucial role. In the course of saving lives, healthcare professionals (HCPs) have faced not only physical challenges, but also psychological challenges of various levels and types. The psychological challenges faced by HCPs at covid care centers have been extensively researched and published. This study aimed to highlight the psychological challenges that HCP's face in non-covid cancer care centers. The purpose of the study was to evaluate psychological challenges (physical changes, anxiety, perceived fear, depression, awareness and positivity) experienced by HCPs in a tertiary cancer care facility with purposive sampling (Doctors). Among HCPs, there was a significant fear and anxiety of getting infected and infecting their significant others. It was crucial to maintain an effective, encouraging and motivating workforce through psychological interventions at the right time.

 Abstract

This study aims at assessing selected factors affecting performance appraisal in the Presbyterian Church of East Africa, a case study in Central Region. The researcher based the study on the following objectives: To examine how training affects performance appraisal in church-based organizations in Kenya; To find out how working conditions affect performance appraisal in Church-based organizations in Kenya; To assess the effect of employee attitude on performance appraisal in church based organizations in Kenya; To find out the effect workload has on performance appraisal in church based organization in Kenya. Performance appraisal is a crucial tool in HRM for use in all kinds of Organisations, whether profit making or nonprofit making, private or public, religious or secular and small or large. There has been a dilemma whether performance appraisal is necessary in Church based Organisations which have its human resource drawn mainly from clergy and volunteers who believe that their service is mainly driven by faith and not by supervision or evaluations from earthly masters. For church based organisation which conduct Performance appraisal there are factors which affect the system, In this Study the Researcher selected four of this factors. A Descriptive Survey approach was used in the investigation.The descriptive survey method was utilized in this case since the study is based on the state of conditions as they are in the field, and no variables were changed. The researcher used stratified and purposive random sample approaches to get credible key informants. The total number interviewed were 84 respondents, including: 21 Ministers, 21, Pairing elders, 21 Evangelists 21 Secretaries. Data was subsequently evaluated utilizing descriptive analysis techniques. Frequencies, percentages, summing ratings, and Mean are among the descriptive analysis approaches. To evaluate the data and exhibit it in tables and charts, computer-based quantitative data products (SPSS Version 22.0) were employed. To analyse qualitative data, the content analysis method was applied. The Nvivo 8 computer suite was used to analyse all data acquired from Focused Group Discussions or In-depth Interviews. The researcher also used the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22.0. In the Study it has been observed that P.C.E.A embraces performance appraisal and in its GAC of 2013 the Business committee which runs the Church from one General Assembly to the other ,it was instructed to ensure that there is use of current management skills to ensure formulation and implementation of church programmes.The church since the time has been having the practice of performance appraisal in some of its parishes and presbyteries. The results in the study show that; on how training affect Performance Appraisal and to what extent, majority of the respondents indicated it is great at 60% while 40% showed it was greater. Effect of Working condition has 80% indicating it is Greater and 20% responding it is great. On extent of effect of attitude,55%felt it is Greatest 27%Greater and 18% great. Finally on the extent of effect of Workload, 37% responded it is greater at 37% and 63% responding it is great. It is therefore evident from this Study that Training,working condition, employee attitude has a significant effect to Performance appraisal. The study recommend Training of both the Appraisee and appraiser before the Appraisal exercise and establish systems that promote attitude, while improving on the working Conditions and ensuring the right Workload.

 Abstract

ABSTRACT The phrase "social media" is used to describe a wide range of digital platforms that allow users to publish, distribute, and debate user-generated material. In order to better understand how social media has affected our society, we'll be breaking it down into its component parts. Numerous studies have revealed both positive and harmful results from frequent social media use. Increases in social engagement and communication, educational opportunities, and access to health-related information are all positive outcomes. Increases in mental health issues like depression and anxiety, as well as criminal behavior like catfishing, bullying, and even terrorist acts, are just some of the negative effects of social media on communities. To a large extent, positive results may be expected when individuals use social media for the correct reasons and to accomplish their goals. Organizations with a stake in this issue should work together to limit any negative effects and maximize any positive ones.
