 Abstract

Hemiplegia, a common consequence of stroke and other neurological conditions, presents significant challenges to rehabilitation efforts. Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) has emerged as a promising adjunctive treatment to traditional rehabilitation approaches. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of CIMT as an adjunct to hemiplegia rehabilitation. A comprehensive search of electronic databases yielded a total of 20 eligible studies meeting the inclusion criteria. The studies included various designs, ranging from randomized controlled trials to cohort studies, and involved diverse patient populations across different settings. Our findings indicate that CIMT, when used alongside conventional rehabilitation, leads to significant improvements in motor function, activities of daily living, and quality of life among individuals with hemiplegia. Moreover, subgroup analyses revealed that the effectiveness of CIMT may vary based on factors such as stroke chronicity, severity, and the duration of CIMT intervention. Adverse events associated with CIMT were minimal and generally mild, suggesting its safety profile. However, further research is warranted to optimize CIMT protocols, identify patient subgroups that may benefit most from this intervention, and elucidate its long-term effects. In conclusion, CIMT appears to be a valuable adjunctive therapy for hemiplegia rehabilitation, offering promising outcomes in motor recovery and functional independence.

 Abstract

Recently, the demonstrable alternative material to conventional material in the construction field becoming very popular due to global warming and other environmental issues. Steel is one of the considerable materials in construction which results in economical and non-renewability. So, it is suggested that an isotropic material called bamboo material as a reinforcement in concrete. As a building material bamboo fiber shows a promising result and caught attention around the world due to its strength, unavoidable brittle failure, advantages in energy conservation, and environmental protection. Bamboo has a fast-growing nature and its tensile strength is 1.5 times greater than steel. Bamboo reinforced concrete construction follows the same mix design, mix proportions, and construction techniques as used for steel. The durability and properties of bamboo can be improved by mechanical and chemical treatments. In this paper, the performance of bamboo-reinforced concrete, and its durability, are discussed.

 Abstract

Notice board is ideally useful tool for organizing and displaying information these are used in multitude of businesses such as schools, colleges, railway station etc In this project, we proposed an advanced wireless notice board in which at any time we can add or remove or alter the message according to our requirement. The main aim of this proposed project is to drastically reduce the cost involved, consume smaller amount of power and help in achieving quality of service. Wireless electronic notice boards are a faster alternative to conventional pin-up type notice boards. In this Project we are going to use a LED dot Matrix display module which is also known as LED Display Module to display a Scrolling text by using Arduino UNO. The proposed method consists of electronic notice board that is controlled by an android device and displays message on it. Traditionally, there were notice boards where any information or notice had to be stick daily. This becomes tedious and requires daily maintenance. The project the overcomes this problem by introducing an electronic display notice board interfaced to an android device through Bluetooth connectivity. The Bluetooth receives the message from the android device that is sent to an Arduino .Notice board is a primary thing in any institution/organization or publicutility places like bus stations, railway stations and parks. But sticking various notices day-to-day is a difficult process. The Notice board is a common display for effective mode of providing information to the people, but this is not easy for updating the messages instantly. This project deals about an advanced Hi-Tech wireless Notice Board. This system is enhanced to display the latest information through an Android application.

 Abstract

This project addresses the challenges in navigating inside large and complex buildings faced by an individual unfamiliar with the building infrastructure and the insufficiency of traditional navigation tools in indoor spaces by developing an Augmented Reality (AR) based Indoor Navigation Application. The project focuses on creating digital maps of indoor spaces using manual mapping techniques and implementing location tracking using SLAM (Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping) algorithm and QR code technology for user's current location. By utilizing the AR Core library, the application overlays digital objects onto the real-world environment, providing users with an intuitive and immersive navigation experience. Pathfinding is achieved through the NavMesh tool in Unity, which calculates the shortest path to the desired destination. Unlike other existing technologies the proposed system eliminates the need for external hardware used for mapping and localization. This approach not only saves time, energy, and cost but also offers accurate indoor navigation without the dependence on external devices.

 Abstract

ABSTRACT Dry eye disease is a chronic condition of the corneal surface marked by persistent symptoms of irritation or burning that can cause inflammatory damage to the cornea and conjunctiva if untreated. Common risk factors for this syndrome include advancing age, female sex, low humidity environments, systemic medications, and autoimmune disorders. Treatments to relieve symptoms include tear replacement, humidification, improved nutrition, and anti-inflammatory ocular agents. Home healthcare nurses can identify signs and symptoms of dry eye syndrome and initiate strategies that range from warm compresses to physician referrals for more aggressive treatment. Consistent management of this condition improves quality of life and minimizes damage to the ocular surface.

 Abstract

There is much evidence linking human activity to global climate change, and the anticipated changes in climate may have a significant effect on horticulture output. In the Baruipur subdivision, irrigation is essential to meeting the rising demand for food brought on by population growth. Groundwater irrigation serves as agriculture's primary supply of water throughout the dry season. On the other hand, excessive groundwater abstraction for irrigation results in groundwater level depletion. Present study evaluates the seasonal disyribution of surface water and its impact on horticulture production in Baruipur sub-division. Landsat8- Operational Land Imager satellite data were used during the period between 2016 and 2019. Surface waterbodies were extracted from the satellite data using Normalized Difference Water Index. Results showed that the most of the surface waterbodies are observed in the east, north-east and north of the Baruipur sub-division. The extent of surface waterbodies is very less in west of the Baruipur sub-division. In the study area, permanent waterbodies are mostly observed in west and north east of Bhangar block, east of Sonarpur block and some small pockets of Kultali block. Seasonal waterbodies are mostly observed in Jaynagar I and II block, Baruipur block and south of Bhangar-I block. The findings indicated that while there was a consistent pattern of declining groundwater levels during the study duration, there was an increase in the usage of groundwater for irrigation. In the studied area, irrigation plays a major role in groundwater recharging during the dry season. Therefore, for sustainable groundwater resource management in this area, accurate irrigation water monitoring and management are essential

These days the vast increase in the technology leads to the transmission of data over network channels which is not secure every time. So to solve this problem of security and privacy the method called Cryptography is introduced. Using this method the data to be transmitted is encrypted and given a key, to decrypt the transmitted data on the receiving end the user must give the appropriate key. If the key is given correctly the data cannot be retrieved. Even though this method provides security, due to the visibility of the encrypted data in the form of code causes suspicion and already available tools will try to exploit the privacy of data to be transmitted. To solve this problem, we propose a method called Steganography, in this we conceal and extract the information within the other data, often images after that the data will be invisible to human eyes. Now by adding the concept of Neural Networks to Steganography we can increase the capability to conceal the data, security during transmission and resistance to detect the data will be increased.

 Abstract

Selective abortion is a controversial topic that refers to the termination of a foetus due to a medical condition or genetic abnormality that is detected during pregnancy. This procedure is also known as "selective reduction" or "pregnancy reduction." Major objectives of the research is study on legislation protecting the child rights related with selective abortion. The research method followed here by the researcher is empirical research. The total number of samples is 200. From 200 people the researcher has got the data. Convenient sampling method is used to collect the samples. Convenient sampling method is used to collect the samples. The sample frame taken by the researcher is from colleges and public places. The independent variables are educational qualifications, age, income, gender, occupation, marital status. Findings of the research is that the tradition of our society sets social norms for boys who give economical support that place greater values on sons than daughters. The termination of pregnancy based on gender which clearly shows inequality on gender for unborn children. Our government ensures that all children are valued and treated equally and it leads our society into greater form. The provisions or regulations of the selective abortion act are satisfied with people. Ancestral social norms are the major reasons for imbalanced sex ratios. The unborn child's right to life is being violated in case of abortion. The people are aware that the termination can be decided only by mother. It is important to ensure that women have access to safe and legal abortion services when necessary, and that they are able to make informed decisions about their own reproductive health.
