 Abstract

Aim: To assess the impact of taking proper breaks while working on digital devices in reducing the digital eye strain. Methodology: This was a questionnaire-based prospective study determining the role of taking proper breaks and the role of daily reminders in enhancing patient compliance and in-turn reducing digital eye strains. The study examines compliance variations with the 20-20 rule in two distinct groups, Group-I (Subjects who got daily reminders) and Group-II (Subjects who did not get any reminders). The occurrence of symptoms related to digital eye strains were also compared between the subjects in the two groups and from baseline. Result: The analysis reveals that Group-II exhibits a notably higher forgetfulness rate (60%) compared to Group-I (28%), implying a greater tendency to overlook the 20-20 rule. This discrepancy underscores the potential influence of awareness on adherence, as Group-I's lower forgetfulness rate suggests heightened attentiveness to the rule. Conclusion: A significant proportion of respondents were not aware of the 20-20 rule and do not actively implement it. Making the patients aware about proper visual break practices can significantly reduce digital eye strain prevalence. From the data, it seems that both Group-1 and Group-2 generally have lower symptom prevalence compared to the Baseline group. However, Group-2 tends to have higher symptom prevalence compared to Group-1 indicating that reminders may play an important role in reduction in symptoms of digital eye strain. The data suggests a discrepancy in compliance with the 20-20 rule between the two groups, highlighting the importance of reminders in getting better compliance. Practically, these results could inform targeted interventions, focusing on raising awareness among Group-II individuals to mitigate forgetfulness.

 Abstract

This report is based onmy work in the Central Laboratory of Sharda Hospital. The main discussion here is about techniques and procedures that are usually opted for diagnosis and identification of pathogens and disease causing agents, which can be useful for the purpose of research also. Broadly divided into Biochemistry, Microbiology (Bacteriology, Serology ,Virology and Mycology) and Pathology. In Biochemistry techniques such as Chromatography and its types including - Thin-layer chromatography (TLC), Column chromatography and High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) as well as basics of Spectroscopy UV-Visible spectroscopy, Infrared spectroscopy (IR) and Fluorescence spectroscopy. Mass Spectrometry and Enzyme Assays along with Protein purification techniques such as Affinity chromatography, Size-exclusion chromatography , NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectroscopy and Bioinformatics. In Microbiology methods and techniques in Bacteriology mainly focused on culturing Bacteria and processing them through different staining methods, biochemical testing and smear preparation. Serology Lab mainly use strip testing (The kit contains indicators to visualize the reaction between antibodies and reagents. This could involve color changes, fluorescence, or other methods depending on the design of the kit). Virology and Molecular Laboratory employs techniques such as ELISA, RT-PCR and methods for DNA extraction. Working in Pathology Lab teaches us about Histopathology(This involves the microscopic examination of tissue samples to study the cellular structure and identify any abnormalities. Tissues are typically stained with dyes to enhance visualization), Cytology, Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Clinical Chemistry, techniques include spectrophotometry, chromatography, and immunoassays. Along with Flow Cytometry used for Hematological analysis to evaluate blood samples to assess the cellular components (red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets) and their characteristics. Other techniques include complete blood count (CBC), blood smear examination, and coagulation assays.

 Abstract

Hyperandrogenism and persistent anovulation are two characteristics of the complex condition known as polycystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS).6% to 20% of women in their reproductive years may be impacted, depending on the diagnostic criteria. Early in the pubertal years is when PCOS symptoms first appear. Period irregularities, anovulation, and acne are features of both PCOS and normal female pubertal development. Because of the intricately entwined pathophysiology, identifying the causative factors is difficult. Most clinical data that are now accessible include findings and results for adult females. Different diagnostic criteria have been established for PCOS in teenage girls, while the Rotterdam criteria are recognized for adult women. Menstrual irregularity ,clinical hyperandrogenism, and/or hyper androgenemia are diagnostic features for teenage girls. It is not necessary to use the results of a pelvic ultrasound to diagnose PCOS in teenage girls. Teenagers exhibiting the clinical indicators of androgen excess and oligomenorrhoea/amenorrhoea-two characteristics of PCOS-can be considered" at risk for PCOS" even in the absence of a formal diagnosis. Education, measures promoting a healthy lifestyle, and therapy aimed at symptom relief are all part of the management of PCOS, for both individuals at risk and those with a diagnosis that has been established. Metformin, combination oral contraceptive pills, spironolactone, and topical therapies for acne and hirsutism are examples of interventions. Management should involve planned transitions to adult care providers and routine follow-up visits in addition to screening for related comorbidities. A thorough understanding of the pathophysiology of PCOS will allow for the early detection of girls who are highly predisposed to the disease. Appropriate therapy interventions when implemented on time will enhance quality of life, reduce related comorbidities, and improve overall management of PCOS during adolescence.

 Abstract

As a means to resolve the Tribal Voice in India, the centrality of the Fifth and Sixth Schedules of the Indian Constitution is widely acknowledged. However, their final incorporation, despite intense nationalist opposition in the run-up to Indian Independence, remains historically unexplained. This article addresses this lacuna by reconstructing the circumstances under which the Indian National Congress came to accept scheduling as a viable method of providing protection to Tribal Communities. This strategic shift can be explained as a result of combined political pressures generated by communist-led tribal movements and a steadily mounting challenge heralded by a new stream of educated middle-class tribal activists in eastern India. Foremost among the latter was Jaipal Singh Munda who mobilized a large constituency of supporters demanding a separate province of Jharkhand. Taken together, there is enough evidence to prove that in the period 1937-1950, the tribes were not silent and their collective agency had a deep impact on the constitution-making process. Finally, the article argues that this period witnessed a significant change in the character of the Congress as erstwhile freedom-fighters turned into ruling elites.

 Abstract

Soaps are essential for maintaining our hygiene and health because they eliminate dirt from the body in addition to having bactericidal properties. Our study's objective was to create herbal soap using the melt-and-pour technique. The purpose of this research is to create an antibacterial polyherbal bath soap using some of the antibacterial qualities of herbal plant extracts. In this review, we looked at the various herbal plants that are used to make soap that has antibacterial, antifungal, and antibacterial properties. Many naturally occurring herbal plants contain a range of chemical components that are used in cosmetic preparations. Because they have a high activity level and no negative effects, herbal cosmetics are particularly significant. Fungi is the most common type of skin infection in humans, and it requires special care to keep the skin healthy and to heal. A specific type of soap called soap is used to treat different fungal infections. Both conventional herbal remedies, such as plant extracts or herbal oils, and allopathic medications can be used to treat these infections. It aids with acne and pimple prevention, skin brightening, softening, and smoothing, and skin polishing, replenishing, and rejuvenation. In this review, we looked at various herbal plants that have antifungal, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties, including turmeric, guava, banana, and mango leaves, as well as Aloe Vera and Tulsi. Because of their antibacterial and antifungal properties, all of these herbal remedies are highly regarded and well-known in Ayurveda. People are most commonly affected by fungal skin infections, which need careful attention both during treatment and in order to maintain healthy skin. On Candida albicans, Azadiracta indica, Aloe berbadendis, Curcuma longa, and Ocimum sanctum exhibit activity. Soap NoHerbal helps to address fungal skin infection issues. Antibacterial soaps clearly contain antibacterial agents that have the ability to either kill or inhibit bacteria. The majority of commercial soaps include ingredients that may be bad for your skin. It was determined what the formulations' physicochemical parameters were (pH, foaming ability, stability, and physical evaluation). The formulation had an excellent foaming index and a pH level that was almost identical to that of skin, according to the results.

 Abstract

A Shear wall systems are one of the most commonly used lateral load resisting systems in Tall buildings. Shear walls have very high in plane stiffness and strength, which can be used to simultaneously resist maximum Lateral loads and support gravity loads, making them quite advantageous in many structural engineering applications. There are lots of literatures available to design and analyze the shear wall. However, the decision about the location of shear wall in multi-story building is not much discussed in any literatures. In this paper, therefore, main focus is to determine the solution for shear wall location in multi-story building. A RCC building of G+15 story placed earthquake zone-3. An earthquake load is calculated by Response Spectrum method using IS 1893 (PART-1):20016.These analyses were performed using ETABS 2016 Software. A study has been carried out to determine the Best locations of RC shear wall of a multistoried building by changing shear wall location. The different cases of shear wall position i.e. without shear, Shear wall at Corner locations, shear wall at periphery locations, Shear wall at Corner locations, shear wall at periphery locations, shear wall at center location. The different cases of shear wall position i.e. without shear wall, Shear wall at Corner locations shear wall at periphery locations, Shear wall at center locations and Shear wall along long & short span directions, for a G+15 story building have been analyzed. Incorporation of shear wall has become inevitable in multi-story building to resist lateral forces.

 Abstract

This study investigates the intricate interplay between emotional intelligence, general wellbeing, and acceptance action among young adults aged 18 to 35 years. Utilizing a sample of 100 participants, employing both random and convenience sampling techniques, established scales were used to measure emotional intelligence, general wellbeing, and acceptance action. Results reveal positive correlations between emotional intelligence and general wellbeing, as well as between general wellbeing and acceptance action. However, contrary to initial hypotheses, a negative correlation surfaced between emotional intelligence and acceptance action. These findings highlight the necessity of comprehending these dynamics to foster mental health and resilience in young adults. Future research should delve into the underlying mechanisms driving these relationships and develop targeted interventions to promote psychological wellbeing and adaptive coping strategies in this population.
