 Abstract

The concept of caste in India is deeply ingrained in society, dividing people into rigid social hierarchies based on birth. At the bottom of this hierarchy are the Dalits, who have been historically considered "untouchables" and subjected to extreme forms of discrimination, exclusion, and violence. Dalit literature is a genre of Indian writing that focuses on the lives, experiences, and struggles of the Dalit community, who have faced caste-based oppression and discrimination Dalit literature has also been instrumental in the development of Dalit feminism, with the autobiographies and testimonies of Dalit women authors emphasizing the intersection of caste, class, and gender in the context of social exclusion. Ilavenil Meena Kandasamy is an Indian poet, translator, fiction writer and activist, based out of Chennai, in Tamil Nadu, India. Majority of her works are based on feminism alongside the anti-caste movement of annihilation of the Indian epoch, acting as the prime reaction of her being tormented and attacked by stereo realm.

 Abstract

The rising demand for fuels poses a problem for modern scientists. There are decreasing amounts of fossil fuels left to use. As a result, biodiesel has emerged as a promising alternative fuel for the future of the planet. It's a fuel that won't harm the planet. Many scientists have made concerted efforts to develop compression ignition engines that can run on biodiesel generated from plant oils. There is a wide range of raw materials to choose from, such as Pongamia Pinnata, Neem seeds, cashew nuts, waste vegetables, cotton seed, etc. Biodiesel fuel and lubricants are made from non-edible oil seeds and vegetable oils such palm oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, and canola oil. However, Pongamia pinnata shows promise as a raw material source because it can be collected from the wild with relative ease. The Pongamia pinnata tree is a nitrogen-fixing, drought-resistant, semi-deciduous legume. In this paper, we look at the feasibility of producing biodiesel on Vanua Levu's 58,897 hectares of marginal, underutilised land. According to the output forecast, it is possible that the available land area might yield 488 million litres of Pongamia oil and 645 million litres of biodiesel. For all discount rates up to 10%, the benefit-cost ratio is greater than 1, and the net present value of the project is positive, as determined by a cost-benefit analysis.

 Abstract

In India, the gap between the haves and the have-nots is always alarmingly high. Vices like superstition, illiteracy, caste system and the greed of the rich and powerful do not allow the principle of equality to set in. Consequently, India is unable to get rid of poverty and unemployment. It was with the objective of alleviating poverty and generating employment that the role of small finance came into the limelight. The word "micro credit" did not exist before the seventies. Now it has become a buzz-word among the development practitioners. In the process, the word has been imputed to mean everything to everybody. Micro credit creates a huge purchasing power. This, in turn, gives impetus to industrial growth and finally leads to a higher GDP. The contribution of micro credit towards social reforms cannot be overlooked either. Over the past decade, micro finance institutions have adopted innovative ways of providing credit and savings services to the entrepreneurial poor. Several micro finance institutions have succeeded in reaching the poorest of the poor by devising innovative strategies. These include the provision of small loans to poor people, especially in rural areas, at full-cost interest rates, without collateral, that is repayable in frequent installments. Micro finance programmes aimed at the poor women are designed to help them to come out of the clutches of poverty and make a sustainable living. One of the assumptions of the scheme is that loans are the only financing system that can provide sufficient capital to meet the needs of the SHG members. Under this scheme, credit is available for various purposes ranging from urgent consumption needs to accumulation of assets. Also, the credit users are encouraged to initiate small income generating micro-enterprise. It is a fact that self-employment activities bring income, increase consumption levels, lead to a rise in the demand for education of children. This study underlines the impact of microfinance on women resulting in an increase in income and improvement in their standard of living. The present study makes an attempt to analyse the impact of micro-finance aimed at poor and impoverished rural women in particular, using survey data gathered from members of women SHGs functioning in Virudhunagar district of Tamilnadu.

 Abstract

Background: Corticosteroids are a significant category of medications in dermatology and are frequently prescribed. However, despite their effectiveness, they are associated with various adverse effects. Given that many skin conditions are chronic, it is crucial to ensure that the use of these drugs is rational. Consequently, this study was conducted with the objective of examining the utilization pattern of topical corticosteroids. Methods: This was a hospital-based, prospective, and observational study conducted over a 12-month period. Data collection involved one-on-one consultations with patients, and the information collected was recorded in a specially designed form. Subsequently, the data were entered and analysed using Microsoft Excel. Results: The study revealed that 48% of the patients were male, while 52% were female. The majority of patients fell within the 21-30 age group (30%). Scabies (30%) emerged as the most prevalent dermatological condition. Among the different topical corticosteroids prescribed, mometasone furoate (31.4%) was the most frequently chosen. In addition to topical corticosteroids, H1 antihistaminic drugs like levocetirizine (81.6%) were commonly prescribed, along with emollients (36.4%) and permethrin (29.2%). On average, each prescription included 3.6 drugs, all of which were prescribed using their generic names. Conclusions: Regularly monitoring the drug utilization pattern through prescription auditing is an effective tool for establishing guidelines to improve the utilization of medications.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) security process to evaluate a system design that securely safeguards the information from various technologies. Cybersecurity has increasingly become a significant role in the platform of ICT that is adopted throughout the world. In ICT security is the ability to protect the Availability, Integrity, and Confidentiality of an organization's digital information resources. The responsibility and capabilities of ICT security should address the issue such as employee behavior on social network and inadequate public experience of digital information. Online Social network (OSN) most common type of interaction between people and botnet attacks on this network are currently corrupting the data and defined malicious data or intrusion of the network. Hence Machine learning algorithms are used to provide concurrence in cybersecurity for social networks in the infrastructure of ICT. One of the legitimate purposes of using Botnets to support the ITC channels operations using administrative rights on a specific process. Such goals do not meet with a large number of bots that have been seen in the research paper. The proposed research investigated to apply machine learning techniques to detect insider attacks to reduce network traffic, particularly in the area of botnet detection. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm is used for dynamic events and handles complex tasks coming from cyberspace which can be considered malicious activities from the unknown user in the ICT platform.

 Abstract

Kampavata is one of the vatavyadhi, Basavarajeeyam gives a brief description of this with symptoms such as Kara pada tala kampa, Deha brahmana, Nidrabhanga, Matiksheena, etc. Kampavata can be correlated to Parkinson's disease. It is a neurodegenerative disease. It is a progressive loss of structure or functions of neurons including the death of neurons ranging from molecular to the systemic level. Tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia are the main symptoms of Parkinson's disease; these symptoms are similar to Kampa, Sanga, and Gatisanga. These are mainly because of Vata. Here Vata Dosha is responsible for the disease which is originating either in Sakha, Koshta, Marma, Asthi, or Sandhi. A mixture of Saindhava and Madhu generates the hydroelectric energies in nerve cells for communication. Due to the Sukshma property of Sneha, it helps the drug to reach the microcellular level. The medicinal value of Kalka and Kwatha helps with curative, purification, and preventive aspects. Basti acts as a regenerative process. Its Veerya helps to disrupt the pathogenic process and carries out the morbid matter towards Pakvashaya for elimination, there after by absorption it starts its regenerative process. The clinical trial was undertaken to compare the efficacy of Matra Basti with Masha Taila and Ksheerabala Taila 7 aavarthita in the management of Kampavata (Parkinson's Disease). 30 patients having classical symptom of Kampavata of either sex were selected and divided into two groups; consisting of 15 patients in each group. In Group-A Matra Basti was administered with Masha Taila in dose of 60ml was inserted through rectum for 9 consecutive days. In Group-B Matra Basti was administered with Ksheerabalataila 7 aavarthita in dose of 60ml was inserted through rectum for 9 consecutive days. The clinical assessment was done using Modified Universal Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale. All symptoms were given scoring depending upon their severity from 0 to 4. The results were subjected to Wilcoxon signed rank test and Mann Whitney U Test Rank it suggests no significant difference after the treatment. Overall the results are not much better in both groups. So far, the experience with treatment has been good and the response is up to 25% in all the patients of both groups.

 Abstract

The relationship between a teacher's adjustment and their quality of life is a crucial aspect of the educational landscape, impacting both educators and students. This study explores the intricate interplay between a teacher's ability to adapt to their professional environment and the subsequent influence on their overall quality of life. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through surveys, interviews, and observations from a diverse sample of teachers in various educational settings. The findings reveal a significant correlation between a teacher's adjustment to their work environment and their quality of life. Teachers who exhibit higher levels of adaptability tend to experience better job satisfaction, reduced stress levels, and improved overall well-being. Factors such as positive school climate, supportive colleagues, professional development opportunities, and effective classroom management techniques were identified as critical contributors to teacher adjustment. Teachers facing challenges in adapting to their work environment reported lower job satisfaction, increased burnout, and diminished personal well-being. Factors such as excessive workload, inadequate support, and classroom disruptions were identified as obstacles to teacher adjustment. These findings underscore the importance of addressing teacher adjustment as an integral part of educational policy and practice. By creating supportive school environments, fostering professional growth, and implementing strategies to mitigate stressors, educators can enhance their quality of life and, in turn, positively impact student outcomes. This research highlights the need for ongoing efforts to improve teacher well-being, ultimately benefiting both educators and the educational community as a whole.
