"Insurance" has been playing a very crucial role from the beginning of the 19th Century. Its an intensive business in human life. The different type of policies of insurance sectors whether its public or private have been putting positive impact on the life of the people. Keeping an eye over today's competitive global market, the insurance sectors open the door for the better career opportunities for the youth. Getting a Job in Insurance Sector directly shows the status symbol of the employee. Instead of all the safe sides, employees face many challenges in different situations and the job opportunities also varies. During COVID-19, this year has totally changed the working culture in corporate sectors. Employees of these sectors declared essential by the State and Central Government and their work was taken as mandatory functions. For this, employees faced a high risk of exposure of Covid 19. Risk increased very fast because of unregulated safety measures, lack of protective equipment and crowded settings for the employees of these sectors. During this epidemic, many important factors arose-such as Job Security, Inadequate Paid Sick Leave, Salary Cut, Retrenchment, High Job Attrition, Low Socio-Economic Status. This study aims at understanding the challenges and opportunities faced by employees of this sector during the period of COVID-19. This study also suggests practices and methods to be adapted by companies during pandemic.

 Abstract

The Contagious Disease Act was a series of legislative measures enacted in 19th-century colonial India and later in England, Scotland, and Ireland. These acts aimed to combat sexually transmitted diseases, particularly syphilis and gonorrhoea, by implementing mandatory medical examinations and treating women on the street. The rationale behind these acts was to protect the health of the military by preventing the spread of sexually transmitted infections. However, the act specifically targeted women involved in prostitution, largely ignoring the role of men in spreading the disease. This paper examines the unique history of prostitution in 19th-century colonial India, focusing on the intersection of legal, social, and moral dimensions under British rule. It explores the implementation of the Contagious Diseases Acts, which introduced Victorian moral values into Indian law, aimed at controlling female sexuality and venereal diseases among British troops. The analysis highlights the complex dynamics of power, gender, and class, revealing how these laws affected the social standing of women engaged in prostitution and the broader implications for Indian society. Through a critical examination of colonial and indigenous responses, this study underscores the lasting impact of colonial legal frameworks on contemporary social and legal challenges in India, contributing to a deeper understanding of the colonial legacy on gender and morality.

 Abstract

COVID-19, a highly transmissible respiratory ailment, was initially identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. It swiftly spread worldwide and is attributed to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Notable variants such as Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Omicron have emerged, resulting in symptoms such as fever, cough, and breathing difficulties. As of 2023, approximately 770 million cases have been documented, with a tragic death toll of 6.9 million. Several factors contribute to increased COVID-19 morbidity among adults, including advanced age, male gender, pre-existing health conditions, and racial/ethnic disparities. Protective measures against SARS-CoV-2 infection encompass a adequate nutrition, COVID-19 vaccination, and the management of atopic conditions. The arsenal of tools to combat COVID-19 includes antiviral medications, steroids, chloroquine, convalescent plasma, vaccines, and monoclonal antibody treatments aimed at preventing severe illness. Broadly, there are six main categories into which potential vaccine candidates can be organized, each offering unique approaches to vaccination. These categories encompass viral vector-based vaccines, DNA vaccines, subunit vaccines, nanoparticle-based vaccines, inactivated-whole virus vaccines, and live-attenuated vaccines. Severe cases of COVID-19 are marked by rest-related shortness of breath and respiratory distress. A combination of techniques, such as genome sequencing, nucleic acid molecular testing, antigen/antibody detection, and computed tomography imaging, are employed to diagnose and screen for COVID-19 infection. This review delves into the current state of knowledge, prevention strategies, treatment options, and the analysis of extensive vaccines related to COVID-19.

 Abstract

Background: Wheelchair basketball, an adapted version of the sport, has been integral to the Paralympic Games (POG) since the 1960s, providing individuals with diverse physical disabilities a platform for competitive engagement. However, despite the recognition of sports injuries and their multifaceted effects on athletes' physiology, physical well-being, and psychology, there remains a gap in understanding specific aspects within the context of wheelchair basketball. This study addresses the existing limitations in defining and describing injuries, particularly concerning their location, mechanisms, and risk factors. Aim: This study investigates common injuries in wheelchair basketball athletes, primary injuries, and affected anatomical regions in wheelchair basketball athletes. Material and methods: The data was collected from various databases and search engines like Google Scholar, PubMed, Research Gate, and Science Direct using the following keywords: "sports injuries", "common injuries", "wheelchair athletes", and "para-athletes". Results: Ninety-seven studies were initially identified, with full reading conducted for 79 articles. Sixty articles were excluded for not meeting inclusion criteria, resulting in a final analysis of 19 studies. After reviewing 19 articles the study found that the shoulder was the most affected region and the upper body was the most affected body segment. The least affected were lower limbs. Discussion: The study indicates that wheelchair basketball athletes experience diverse injuries primarily linked to the biomechanics of anatomical structures. The upper limbs, particularly the shoulder region, exhibited the highest injuries. The prevalence of contact in the sport significantly influences the injury pattern, with the shoulder, hand, head, and spine identified as the most affected body regions in this research.

 Abstract

Prostate cancer stands out as one of the most intricate forms of cancer and is the foremost cause of death among men. Due to cellular heterogeneity and variation in Androgen receptor expression diagnosis and treatment of Prostate cancer is very challenging. Most of the chemotherapeutic agents have been developed to block binding and inhibit the synthesis of Androgen. However, long-term use of Androgen deprivation therapy leads to resistant prostate cancer. Metformin is a biguanide which is the most commonly prescribed drug for T2DM. It lowers glucose levels through AMPK activation, subsequently affecting the mTOR pathway and additionally inhibiting the PI3K/Akt by regulation of PIP3. Hence, Metformin may be an important molecule in the case of heterogeneity of AR signalling where it might influence AMPK and mTOR pathway. In this paper we have evaluated the efficacy of metformin in presence or absence of AR or its variant. The study involves three different cell lines:1) Lncap cells with an AR receptor,2) 22RV-1 cells with an AR and its variant, and 3) PC3 cells, an AR-negative cell line. We investigated the Inhibitory activity of metformin in these cell lines in the context of AR. and its variant ARV7. Moreover, the influence of Synthetic androgen R1881 was also explored.

 Abstract

India produces about 3000 million tons of MSW annually out of which 40 -50 % are compostable (Sharholy et al., 2007). The quality of the compost is crucial to the commercial viability of MSW compost as it is examined for hazardous microorganisms, heavy metals, and fertilizing characteristics. In the current study, an analysis (both statistical and from the State Organic Fertilizer Testing Laboratory) of the MSW obtained from the 150TPD Municipal Solid Waste Management Plant under Berhampur Municipal Corporation, Berhampur, Odisha, has been done in an attempt to understand the quality of compost so formed by the windrow composting process. The quality of composts was determined using Quality Control Indices such as Fertilizing Index and Clean Index. After analysis, it was discovered that all of the metrics, including moisture content, pH, EC, TOC, Total Nitrogen, Total Phosphorus, Total Potassium, and C/N ratio, as well as heavy metals including zinc, copper, cadmium, nickel, lead, and chromium, were within the FCO's acceptable limits. Further Fertility Index and Clean Index were determined for both the samples, and it was found that both the samples had a fertility index value of 4.2 and clean index value of 4.2 for sample I and 3.6 for Sample II was determined. It was found that Sample I belonged to Class A category whereas Sample II belonged to Class C category based on the values of the Indices, which are used to determine the class to which the compost belongs. Therefore, from the perspective of composting, it is recommended that thorough solid waste segregation be done because combined trash degrades compost quality.
