 Abstract

Kerala's developmental approach is unique in India since it places equal emphasis on social justice and economic progress. Significant advancements in health, life expectancy, literacy, and women's status have been made possible by this focus on social variables. Kerala is a fascinating scenario with strong social indicators for women's health and education. Despite these advancements, the Kerala model presents a complex picture for women. While social indicators are high, economic opportunities for women remain limited. Labour force participation for women is lower compared to the national average, and they are often concentrated in informal or low-paying jobs. Furthermore, despite high literacy rates, translating education into leadership positions in government or industry remains a challenge. The paper analyses to what extent the Kerala budget 2024-25 addresses the needs and aspirations of women and how effective are its allocations in promoting women empowerment. The research article is a doctrinal work with a vivid study of the Kerala budget 2024-25 along with various research articles related to women empowerment.

The abstract provides an overview of herbal soap, its ingredients, formulation, pharmacological effects, and comparison with cosmetic soap. Herbal soap incorporates natural plant extracts and essential oils known for their antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and moisturizing properties. Ingredients like neem, tulsi, reetha, and shikekai offer therapeutic benefits for skin care. The formulation process involves melting glycerin soap, adding essential oils and dried herbs, and pouring the mixture into molds. Evaluation methods include organoleptic and physical properties assessment. Pharmacological effects include antibacterial action, anti-inflammatory effects, antioxidant properties, moisturizing, wound healing, soothing, exfoliating, antifungal effects, and aromatherapeutic benefits. Active pharmaceutical ingredients like neem and tulsi contain chemical constituents with medicinal properties. Comparing herbal soap with cosmetic soap reveals differences in ingredients, purpose, chemical content, skin benefits, environmental impact, price, usage, and preservatives. Herbal soap focuses on natural, gentle, and therapeutic skincare, while cosmetic soap emphasizes fragrance and appearance. Overall, herbal soap offers a natural and beneficial alternative for skincare, catering to individuals seeking gentle and effective solutions for their skin concerns.

 Abstract

Nanoparticles, with dimensions ranging from 10-9 meters, have gained attention due to their unique Physico-chemical properties. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are particularly attractive due to their optical, electrical, and antimicrobial properties, making them suitable for various industries such as biosensors, composite fibers, superconducting materials, medical imaging, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. AgNPs' antibacterial action is the most studied, offering new pharmaco therapeutic perspectives in the context of rising resistance to pathogenic bacteria. Green synthesis is more beneficial than traditional chemical synthesis due to its cost-effectiveness, reduced pollution, and improved environmental and human health safety. Tagetes erecta, also known as "marigold," is a popular plant known for its decorative qualities and carotenoids extraction. It has a rich history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in Mexico and South America, for curing various diseases. Microorganisms attack fiber only when the fiber is damp, and synthetic fibers repel microorganisms due to their high aquaphobicity. However, textiles contain cotton fiber, which can cause microbial growth, causing irritation and smell problems. To protect fabrics from bacterial growth, eco-friendly methods are needed, including medical garments, sanitary napkins, socks, underwear, disposable wipes, and carpets.

 Abstract

The Arshas in modern concept can be compared with piles or hemorrhoids. Haemorrhoids are varicosity of the plexus of rectal veins lying under mucosa. Due to various etiological factors the hemorrhoid venous plexuses get constricted and after some time they get elongated due to the pressure exerted on them resulting in the formation of haemorrhoids at different positions in the ano-rectal region. the ancient acharyas i.e. sushruta, charaka, chakradutta, vangasena were explained curative measures for management of Arshas. Among them one local application is undertaken for the present study, known as "Pippalyadi Lepam." The local application was applied to relieve the inflammation and indurations of the pile masses. The ingredients of this preparation acts directly on the arshas. Apart from this, it also relieves pain, reduction of pile masses, arresting of local bleeding and relief from other symptoms. The statistical analysis reveals that therapy is effective in Arshas to stop Bleeding, to relieving Pain, and Itching.

 Abstract

In the actual world of temperature measurement and control, the calibration of thermocouples employing RTD and thermistors is extremely important. Many industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, and scientific research, depend on accurate temperature sensors. Although thermocouples are commonly used because to their robustness and adaptability, accuracy issues are frequently encountered. The potential of this effort to overcome these issues by creating a novel calibration process makes it significant. The research attempts to improve thermocouple measurement precision by incorporating thermistors and Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) into the calibration procedure.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a widespread metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance and insufficient insulin production, leading to hyperglycemia. With the increasing prevalence of T2DM worldwide, there is an urgent need for the development of novel and effective therapeutic agents. In silico drug design techniques have emerged as powerful tools in the drug discovery pipeline, facilitating the identification and optimization of potential drug candidates. This review provides a comprehensive overview of in silico methods employed in the discovery of anti-diabetic agents targeting various proteins and pathways implicated in T2DM pathogenesis. We discuss structure-based drug design (SBDD) approaches, including molecular docking, virtual screening, and pharmacophore modeling, as well as ligand-based drug design (LBDD) techniques such as quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) modeling and similarity searching. Additionally, we highlight the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence in drug design for T2DM. Furthermore, we examine the integration of in silico methods with experimental techniques and the challenges associated with in silico drug design for T2DM. Finally, we provide insights into future perspectives and the potential impact of in silico approaches on the development of novel anti-diabetic therapies.

Due to the shift or changing pattern in the family structure or institution, India is lacking in a certain problem that is providing care for the elderly people. With this unique problem, "old age home" has emerged as a new hope for the elderly section of our society. Therefore, the need for studying the old age homes has significantly increased in the research domain. This paper examined the factors that have enforced the elderly section to live in old age homes. This study is carried out in Bareilly district with 74 number of respondents. Purposive sampling along with the case study is used to enhance the quality of the research. A semi-structured interview schedule is followed to collect the data from the respondents. The present paper has covered an old age home from the Bareilly district of Uttar Pradesh. The study revealed that most of the respondents were widow, illiterate and from rural background. The common factors pushing them to OAHs are abuse from their family, health issues, financial problems, tarnished self-respect and many more.
