 Abstract

Aim: The present study deals with the determination of total phenolic and flavonoid contents, and evaluation of antioxidant activity of roots of Asparagus racemosus Linn. Material and Method: Antioxidant properties were determined by 1, 1- diphenyl, 2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), total phenols and flavonoid contents. Result: The total phenolic and flavonoid contents of the extracts were 125.20 � 1.12 mg/g and 89 � 2.01 mg/g respectively. Conclusion: The presence of high contents of phenols and flavonoids in the isolated fraction of Asparagus racemous extract can explain its antioxidant potential.

 Abstract

Cucurbitaceae family is also known as squash family. In India, it is represented by 84 species out of a total of 750 species of the world. Plants of this family are mostly used as vegetables, a few yield delicious summer fruits and a few are medicinal. In fact members of Cucurbitaceae form a source of a variety of compounds like alkaloids, flovonoids, terpenoids, glycosides tannins and saponins. In view of the medicinal importance of this family, the present investigation was undertaken. Cucurbita maxima is a giant pumpkin and locally called as �kaddu�. The present paper describes the findings of the antibacterial activity of this plant. The present study was conducted in the year 2016-17. The plant material was collected locally from Barwani and identified by the experts. The plants material was air-dried in shade for 60 days and powdered in a wearing blender using a mixer. The powder was stored at 40C for further analysis. The powdered material was extracted with aqueous and ethanol solvents using Soxhlet apparatus. Extraction with each solvent was carried out for 10 h. Both the solvent extracts were dissolved in 2 ml of ethanol and distilled water separately and solubility was tested. Sterile paper discs (Whatman No. 1) were dipped in the solvent extracts and aseptically placed on seeded plates. All the plates were incubated at 370C FOR 24 h. The organisms used were Bacillus subtilis (MTCC-441), Escherichia coli (MTCC-1687), Pseudomonas areogenosa (MTCC-1934), and Staphylococcus aureus (18 mm against 16 mm in aqueous extract) while all the rest three organisms selected for this study showed more inhibition zone in aqueous extract i.e. E. coli with 15 mm, Bacillus subtilis with 20 mm, and Pseudomonas areogenosa with 14 mm respectively. Thus from the present study it is inferred that Cucurbita maxima plant extracts of various solvents posses potential of folk medicinal properties. Further research work is in progress.

 Abstract

National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) is a Public Private Partnership organization in India dedicated to skill development which has substantial expertise and experience vital to the success of government funded schemes. It was set up with the prime objective of creating, funding and enabling skill landscape in India. It also enhances and coordinates the private sector initiatives for skill development by providing them significant operational and financial support. The present research is an attempt to analyse the financial performance of NSDC during past five years using ratio analysis. The research is conducted with the help of secondary data collected from annual and board reports of NSDC. Ratios indicating short term financial performance, long term solvency and efficiency have been used to measure the overall financial performance of NSDC. It has been revealed from the study that the short term as well as long term financial performance of NSDC has deteriorated from financial year 2014-15 to 2018-19 but an improvement has been observed in recent year i.e. 2019 in terms of efficiency.

 Abstract

The Afghan government and international community (IC) have been fighting a war against the Afghan Taliban for over 15 years with no signs of weakening them which proves their strategies have failed. In order for them to win the war against the Afghan Taliban, they must re-strategize and cut off their funding resources and win over both sympathizers and the general public by reducing casualties and corruption. Dismantling the Afghan Taliban can be accomplished by taking the war to the Taliban through employing, training, and mobilizing undercover intelligence officers to infiltrate the villages and districts. This will require fewer troops on the ground and mitigate civilian and military casualties while also being cost effective. By focusing on the Taliban that operates and controls part of Afghanistan, research will prove the importance of international cooperation to eliminate the Afghan Taliban�s funding and promote good governance. More specifically, it will provide evidence of how they are able to successfully remain funded without government intervention, and how international cooperation can eliminate their resources and infiltrate their cells which will ultimately diminish their presence. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to explain the necessity for international cooperation to combat Taliban funding and to recruit, train, and mobilize undercover intelligence officers in order to prove what support is needed to be successful.

 Abstract

Cardamom , the Queen of spices , deserves special attention in Kerala economy in recent times. It fetches a historical hike in its price ranging up to Rs.5000/ Kg for higher grade variety. There are mainly two factors on which the price and profitability of this crop depends; first the international production and the second is the climatic condition. Since the demand is seemed to be almost consistent, it is the conditions of supply that matter. The volatility in the price of cardamom negatively affects all its stakeholders mainly farmers, traders and exporters .As most of the cultivators in the field belongs to small and marginal category, the question here is whether they would be able to reap the benefit of the high price which hits the market. The study here made an attempt to examine economic viability of cardamom cultivaton in Idukki district.

Abstract :- Mostly there are storage platforms which works on dedicated and this one is also the storage structure which works on cloud application implementation, but the problem is that these applications does not introduced a self-automated deletion of unused uploaded data which ultimately impact on storage capacity. So as per the problem statement one thing we are developing that it will be a highly secured cloud database that will be work as a storage device for integrated with cloud to store local files and media�s and mainly follows the self-deleting automated technology which releases the storage space acquired by unused files without user intervention.
