 Abstract

Just as the eyes hold the highest position among all the human senses, symbols play an extremely significant role in art. Visual perception is a major basis of knowledge and understanding. Through symbols, the profound meanings and emotions embedded within a work of art are expressed. In Indian art, the development of symbolism can be traced from prehistoric rock paintings, primitive graphic signs, and ancient coins and seals. The Indian tradition of symbolism is not confined to any single or fixed principle; rather, it has continuously evolved in accordance with changing time, society, and culture. Animals and birds occupy a unique position in Indian culture, art, and religious traditions. They represent various aspects of human life, such as spirituality, the relationship between human beings and nature, and cultural values and symbols. This research paper examines their significance and symbolic importance. In Indian religious scriptures, animals and birds have been represented as the vehicles (vahana) of deities, as symbols, and as companions. In Indian art and literature, animals and birds have also been depicted with their historical and cultural significance. Thus, owing to their profound religious and symbolic importance, their influence has remained timeless and enduring throughout the ages.

 Abstract

Maternal infections during pregnancy remain a major public health concern due to their potential impact on fetal growth and development. TORCH infections--Toxoplasmosis, Other infections (including syphilis, varicella-zoster virus, and parvovirus B19), Rubella, Cytomegalovirus (CMV), and Herpes simplex virus (HSV)--are vertically transmitted infections associated with congenital anomalies, preterm birth, stillbirth, and long-term developmental disabilities. These infections are frequently asymptomatic in pregnant women, leading to delayed diagnosis and missed opportunities for prevention. Preventive measures such as immunization, hygiene practices, safe food handling, and antenatal education are crucial in reducing transmission. Objectives: To assess the knowledge regarding prevention of TORCH infections during pregnancy among antenatal mothers and to determine its association with selected demographic variables. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted among 60 antenatal mothers attending a selected hospital in Dehradun, Uttarakhand. Participants were selected using a non-probability sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured knowledge questionnaire validated by experts. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Results: The study findings showed that 50% of antenatal mothers had poor knowledge, 48.89% had average knowledge, and only 1.7% demonstrated good knowledge regarding prevention of TORCH infections. Conclusion: The study reveals inadequate knowledge among antenatal mothers regarding prevention of TORCH infections. Strengthening health education and counseling during routine antenatal visits is essential to improve maternal awareness and promote better maternal and fetal outcomes.

Abstract Project Title: Smart Fire Fighting Robot Using IoT and AI Fire accidents in industries, commercial buildings, and residential areas can cause significant damage to property and pose serious risks to human life. This project presents a Smart Fire Fighting Robot Using IoT and AI, designed to detect and extinguish fires automatically while minimizing human involvement in hazardous environments. The robot is equipped with flame, smoke, and temperature sensors that continuously monitor the surroundings for signs of fire. When a fire is detected, the system identifies the fire source, navigates toward it, and activates a water pump to extinguish the flames. The robot is controlled using an ESP32 microcontroller, which enables wireless communication through Wi-Fi for real-time monitoring and emergency alerts. IoT technology allows users to monitor the robot's status remotely using a mobile application or web dashboard. AI-based features, such as camera-assisted fire detection and obstacle avoidance, can further improve the robot's accuracy, navigation, and response time. This project enhances fire safety by providing rapid fire detection, autonomous operation, and remote monitoring while reducing risks to firefighters. The proposed system is cost-effective, reliable, and suitable for applications in industries, warehouses, hospitals, shopping malls, offices, and residential buildings. It represents an innovative integration of mechanical engineering, electronics, IoT, and artificial intelligence to create a modern fire protection solution.

 Abstract

Introduction: Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is the most common hormonal disorder affecting women during their reproductive years, yet public awareness about the condition remains poor. This study aimed to assess how much women know about PCOD, how common it is, and what lifestyle habits are linked to it. Materials and Methodology: A questionnaire-based, cross-sectional study was carried out among 300 Indian women aged 18-45 years using a self-administered online survey. The questionnaire covered demographic details, clinical symptoms, lifestyle behaviours, and knowledge-related questions. Results: The study revealed that 68% of participants self-reported having PCOD, with the highest concentration in the 20-40 years age bracket. Menstrual irregularities appeared in 88.4% of those with PCOD, while acne and facial hair affected 84.8% and 78.7% respectively. Knowledge scores averaged 3.42 out of 5, showing significant gaps particularly regarding the incurable nature of PCOD and the misconception linking it exclusively to obesity. Lifestyle analysis uncovered concerning patterns: 62.3% skipped breakfast regularly, 52.3% consumed junk food frequently, 52.3% exercised rarely, and 55% reported high stress levels. Strong statistical associations emerged between PCOD and poor dietary habits, physical inactivity, and psychological stress. Age and education level correlated positively with knowledge scores, while healthier lifestyle choices correlated with fewer PCOD symptoms. Conclusion: The alarmingly high self-reported prevalence coupled with moderate knowledge levels and widespread unhealthy lifestyle practices signals an urgent public health concern. Women continue to hold fundamental misunderstandings about PCOD despite living in an era of abundant health information. The strong connections between lifestyle factors and PCOD symptoms underscore the critical importance of behavioural interventions. Healthcare systems must prioritize community awareness campaigns that specifically target young women, correct persistent misconceptions, and emphasize evidence-based lifestyle modifications. The digital distribution of this survey may have introduced selection bias, suggesting future research should employ community-based sampling with clinical confirmation using standardized diagnostic criteria to establish more accurate prevalence estimates and evaluate awareness intervention effectiveness.

 Abstract

The present investigation was conducted to study the diversity and abundance of hemipteran insect fauna associated with rice crop in Hanumangarh district, Rajasthan. Regular field surveys were carried out from June to November 2022 during the rice-growing season. Insects were collected at fortnightly intervals using sweep nets, hand collection, visual observations and light traps. The collected specimens were preserved and identified with the help of standard taxonomic keys and available literature.
