 Abstract

Social media has been a tool in raising voice, awareness, and call for social change. It allows people to have access to a level of communication that the older generation never had. Through social media, people can now easily call out wrong practices, injustices, and have a voice in different situations. The main objective of the present investigation is to analyze the role of Social Media - YouTube and Instagram on costume variation and to find out changes in style of costumes of young adults. A sample pool of 150 youngsters' was selected, out of which, 75 were males and 75 were females from Hyderabad city. A questionnaire consisting of 24 questions was prepared with suitable items which were filled by the Young Adults in Hyderabad City. It was found that Social Media - YouTube and Instagram have positive and significant role on costume variation and in the change in styles of costume of young of young adults.

 Abstract

The infrastructure cloud (IaaS) service model offers businesses and organizations the ability to access and utilize computing resources on-demand without having to invest in and maintain physical hardware infrastructure. While the current cloud security model may not fully align with traditional threat models developed for on-premises environments, there is ongoing progress toward strengthening the security posture of IaaS platforms. From the perspective of a tenant using cloud services, the current cloud security model is not yet fully equipped to withstand threat models that were traditionally developed for environments where hosts are operated and used by the same organization. However, significant progress is being made towards strengthening the security model of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platforms. This model provides improved resource flexibility and availability, allowing tenants to rent computing resources to deploy and operate complex systems without worrying about the details of hardware maintenance. However, despite the benefits offered by IaaS platforms, many organizations, particularly those dealing with sensitive data, are hesitant to migrate their operations to the cloud due to security concerns. In response to these concerns, this paper proposes a framework for enhancing data and operation security in IaaS environments. The framework consists of secure and flexible resource allocation with the trusted launch of virtual machines and domain-based storage protection. These aim to establish trust by ensuring the integrity of the host platform configuration before launching guest virtual machines and by ensuring the confidentiality of data stored remotely, with encryption keys maintained outside of the IaaS domain. This analysis helps to establish reliability and effectiveness and enhance system security in IaaS environments.

 Abstract

Diabetic dermopathy is a cutaneous manifestation usually visible in diabetes sufferers and changed into to begin with defined with the aid of using Melin in 1964.These lesions are well-demarcated, hyperpigmented macules or papules with atrophic melancholy and have been usually sighted on shins of the tibia with bilateral asymmetrical distribution and seldom visible on arms, thighs and abdomen. The occurrence of DD ranges from 0.2 to 55%. It has been often related with microangiopathic complications of diabetes such as nephropathy, retinopathy and polyneuropathy. Although the precise mechanism of prevalence is unknown, it can be associated to impaired wound healing because of decreased blood flow, nearby thermal trauma or nearby subcutaneous nerve degeneration. Diagnosis is made by physical examination and the differential diagnosis includes stasis dermatitis, early lesion of necrobiosis lipoidica and purpuric dermatitis. Prevention of dermopathy lesions consists of optimized glucose control. No lively remedy is usually recommended or established powerful and DD is thought to remedy on its very own as time passes. Modified collagen and excessive glycerine-primarily based totally lotion have proven marked development in pores and skin colour adjustments because of diabetic dermopathy. Diabetic dermopathy is understood to have a sturdy affiliation with microangiopathic complications; The presence of such lesions should improve robust suspicion and activate research for excessive underlying pathology. Enhanced scrutinized glycemic manage in diabetic dermatopathy sufferers may even result in abatement in in addition development to microvascular headaches and stepped forward long-time period affected person outcomes.

In this review, Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease which is caused due to the Mycobacterium leprae bacillus. Brazil has the second supreme number of leprosy cases around the world with about 30,000 new cases diagnosed in 2005. Anti leprotic agents inhibits mycobacterial growth and binds preferentially to mycobacterial DNA.The various drugs like Dapsone, Clofazimine, Rifampin, Ethionamide, Ofloxacin, Moxifloxacin, Minocycline, Clarithromycin are known for their antileprotic activity.

Abstract After the reforms banking services, the face of Indian consumer is changing this is reflected in a change in the urban household income pattern. The direct follower of such change has been a change in the consumption patterns of the banking habits of Indians. Besides banks financial compulsions have forced them to focus more clearly on retail banking. This paper attempts to explore new insights of retail banking, trends and strategies of retail banking in India. Retail banking in India has witnessed enormous growth in the recent past. It primarily covers analysis of the present status, current trends, major issues &challenges in the growth of the retail banking sector. This report help clients in analyzing the opportunities, Growth opportunities in banking: especially retail segment is set to witness fast growth due to high consumption.

 Abstract

Oral administration is the most convenient and preferred means of any drug delivery to the systemic circulation.Controlled-release drug delivery systems (CRDDS) provide drug release at a predetermined, predictable and controlled rate required for therapeutic effect. To improve the solubility and bioavailability of poorly water soluble drugs, solid dispersions is the most frequently used. Amongst solid dispersions, lipid based carriers had a higher success rate in enhancing the bioavailability of Class II drugs (Furosemide), one such promising group of carrier is Phospholipid (soyalecithin). The aim of the present work was to prepare phospholipid solid dispersion of Furosemide (PLD) with soy lecithin in different ratios using solvent evaporation method. The prepared PLD4 was used to prepare core tablets (F1-F5) using polymers HPMC K4M & E15, which were further subjected to compressed coat (C1-C5) using sodium bicarbonate, PVP K 30 and HPMC E5. Post-compression parameters of Furosemide tablets were evaluated. Formulation F4 core tablet was optimized having drug release of 93.31% in 12 hrs, drug content was 99.50%, floating lag time 16sec with floating time 12 hrs. Among compressed coated floating tablets of Furosemide, C3 has shown 93.31% release with zero order release pattern.
