 Abstract

Charlotte Bronte's renowned novel, Jane Eyre deals with the social inequities common in the 19th Victorian England, particularly regarding gender, class, and morality. The depiction of the character Jane Eyre from the Victorian period starkly contrasts with the male-dominated culture and moral hypocrisy of the time. Jane Eyre, the protagonist, is an ardently independent woman who confronts the inflexible class structure in her quest for genuine love, self-development, and equality. Due to her status as an orphan, lacking both family and social standing, Jane is regarded with disdain by those around her. As a courageous lady, she advocates for her convictions and is not afraid to distinguish herself for her passion. So, the novel Jane Eyre explores feminist themes and offers a genuine critique of the societal inequities in 19th century England. This paper examines Jane's feminist development in the context of her persistent struggle for identity, independence, equality, and self-respect.

 Abstract

Alternaria is represented by about 50 species. Several forms of species are found as saprobes on dead & decaying plant part and in soil, while some forms of species are facultative parasite infecting a large number of higher plants. The fungus was grown as a pure culture in the Culture Room. The experiment was done to determine the efficiency of anti-fungal activity of Leaf extract of selected medicinal plants. Ricinus communis, Allium sativum, Azadiracta indica, Rauwolfia serpentina, Oscimum sanctum, and Withania somnifera were used for the extraction from leaf and cloves. In present investigation different concentration5, 10 and 15% were used in the culture. In the present study, it was observed that extract of Azadiracta indica at its all the three concentrations viz., 5,10 and 15% could inhibit the radial growth of the fungus which was 78.2, 85.4 and 88% respectively. It was further observed that leaf extract of Ricinus had the minimum inhibitory activity at all the concentrations used, that was 65.2, 70 and 76% only. It was observed that leaf extract of Allium sativum inhibited the radial growth at all its three concentrations which was next to Azadiracta leaf extract that was 74.32, 82 and 88% respectively. This was followed by leaf extract of Oscimum sanctum that was 72.67, 81 and 87 respectively. As a result, extracts from the leaves and cloves of many medicinal plants demonstrated antifungal efficacy at varying quantities and levels of action.

 Abstract

The "Made-in-India" campaign, most notably exemplified by the Government of India's "Make in India" initiative launched in 2014, aims to transform India into a global manufacturing hub. This campaign has not only targeted domestic and foreign investors but also played a pivotal role in shaping consumer behaviour. This study explores the perception of Indian consumers towards the Made-in-India label, including factors influencing their purchase decisions, levels of awareness, trust in Indian brands, and patriotic sentiments associated with indigenous products. A structured questionnaire was administered among 300 respondents from various demographic backgrounds across India. The findings indicate that while a significant proportion of consumers display a positive inclination towards Indian-made products, factors like quality, price competitiveness, and brand recognition continue to play crucial roles. This paper contributes to the understanding of domestic branding strategies and offers insights for policymakers and marketers on enhancing the effectiveness of the Made-in-India campaigns.

 Abstract

This paper analyses the labour force at M.I.D.C., Jalgaon, by comparing data from both employers and workers before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The study aims to determine the pandemic's effect on job security, wages, working conditions, and the overall economic well-being of the industrial sector's workforce. The pandemic heightened the bargaining power of a majority of workers while simultaneously creating a significant challenge for employers due to a notable decrease in worker availability. Employers felt their retention strategies were more effective and widely adopted work-life balance policies. Also, a significant majority considered government support during the pandemic to be insufficient. The study concludes with recommendations for skill development, improved job security, and enhanced government support and awareness for businesses.

 Abstract

Pain is a widespread and often debilitating condition affecting over a billion individuals globally. Conventional pain management strategies, including NSAIDs and opioids, provide effective relief but come with significant drawbacks--such as gastrointestinal issues, hepatotoxicity, dependency risks, and inconsistent plasma drug levels. Transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDS) present a promising alternative by offering non-invasive, sustained, and targeted delivery of therapeutics through the skin, bypassing first-pass metabolism and improving patient compliance. This review explores the integration of herbal phytoconstituents--such as capsaicin, curcumin, menthol, gingerol, and boswellic acids--into TDDS platforms for enhanced pain relief. These botanicals, known for their analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, have been used traditionally in systems like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. The combination of these natural actives with modern delivery technologies allows for safer, more effective therapeutic options with fewer systemic side effects. We delve into key components of herbal transdermal patches, formulation techniques, permeation enhancers, evaluation parameters, and absorption mechanisms. In addition, the paper highlights cutting-edge innovations like QR code-enabled patches for app-based guidance, adherence monitoring, and personalized therapy. Challenges related to herbal variability, solubility, and regulatory classification are discussed alongside future directions in AI, nanotechnology, and eco-friendly design. Finally, we explore patent potential in the rapidly growing field of smart, herbal-based TDDS. This comprehensive review aims to inform researchers, formulators, and healthcare professionals about the current status and future prospects of herbal transdermal patches in pain management.

 Abstract

Mutual fund is known as the best investment option among the investors and it recorded as a very fast-growing industry over that past two decades. To satisfy the various expectations of the women investors, it needs to evaluated and assessed efficiently on the basis of performance and the comparison should be made with other different funds. Mutual funds offer a platform to the rational investors for making participation in the capital market with the help of professional fund management system irrespective of the investment amount in the funds. Mutual fund is known as the integral part of the financial market which is earning the publicity among the women investors just because of its suitable policy and it offers many more opportunities to the investors to make investment in the diversified portfolio which are being managed professionally and efficiently with the help of normal operations and expected good amount of returns. Generally, women investors are known as more risk averse as compared to the men investors and they don't want to make investment in the share market directly and for which they are mostly giving preference to invest in the mutual fund as it is known as less risky investment instrument. On the other hand, mutual funds are not taken as the favorable investment option by other types investors as they are mostly depending on the stock market which is volatile by nature and the range of products to meet the expectations of the investors are not properly segregated. The overall operating performance of mutual funds turned into complexity while dealing with risk and return assessment. So, the study of mutual funds from various aspects has become more essential which is going to give importance on the level of awareness, expectations and perceptions of the women investors in market. The present paper has given more attention to study the different factors which are affecting the investment decision and perception of the women investors with response to the mutual fund investment.
