 Abstract

Sumicidin, the fungicide cum insecticide showed significant difference in action at different concentrations on a blue-green alga, is well evident from the tables and figures described in the result chapter. At higher concentration of the fungicide and higher exposure period, drastic effects on the blue-green alga were observed. At the highest concentration (Conc. Z) of the toxicant, the alga showed typical toxic symptoms, beyond which survival of the alga becomes extremely difficult and at times impossible under laboratory control conditions. The analysis of variance ratio tests and correlation coefficient analysis carried out for all parameters studied indicated clearly that the fungicide cum insecticide, Sumicidin is extremely toxic to blue-green alga. In the present investigation, a graded series of concentrations of the fungicide, Sumicidin was prepared to evaluate the toxic effects of the Sumicidin on the blue-green alga. With the increase in the concentration of the toxicant the percent survival decreased and hundred percent death was noticed at 1.87 mg.l-1 of Sumicidin with in a period of 15 days. The maximum allowable concentration (MAC) recorded for this alga for 15 days exposure was 0.31ml l-1. The optical density study and the dry weight analysis indicated that the toxicant Sumicidin is deadly toxic. Sumicidin did not show any dichotomous behavior. Complete bleaching of the algal mass inside the test solution was observed. At higher concentration of the fungicide and at higher exposure period, bleaching of the filaments and total chlorosis of the filaments were observed. The exposed alga could not recover in recovery studies, even after prolonged recovery period. This indicated that the toxicant, Sumicidin caused permanent damage to the exposed algal system. Hence, it can be safely concluded that the damage caused in exposed system was only due to the toxicant. The present work was designed to study the effects of the fungicide, Sumicidin, on growth of the blue-green alga, Anabaena cylindrica, Lemm.

 Abstract

As education is the primary source of economic and social advancement, it is generally understood that each nation must have a futuristic and visionary education strategy. Different nations have implemented various education systems at the school and college levels to make them successful while taking into consideration their traditions and cultures. The NEP 2020, which was approved by the Indian Union Cabinet on July 29, 2020, outlines the goals for India's new educational system. The new policy has taken the place of the previous, National Policy on Education, 1986. The strategy gives a systematic framework for education ranging from elementary to higher education in urban and remote regions of India. It also includes career training. By 2022, the policy expects to change the Indian educational system. The New Education Policy 2020 aims to make high-quality education accessible to everyone to transform our nation into a vibrant and equitable knowledge society. It will cause a paradigm shift in India's educational system and change it into one that is equitable, modern, as well as progressive. This chapter focuses on the policy's main suggestions, its notable characteristics, including schooling and higher education, predicted results, its merits, and any issues that need to be resolved.

 Abstract

The narrative of the Dalit Literature is a harsh portrayal of the Subalterns particularly to the people who have stigmatized identity in Indian society. Omprakash Valmiki by his Autobiography Joothan : A Dalit's Life (1997) pays tribute to the Dalit organic intellectuals who help to nurture the growth of a Dalit consciousness. The endeavor of this paper is to present the veracity of the society that dismantling anti-Dalit hegemonic discourse. The Theory of Subalterns discusses the condition and status of deprived class in Indian society. Thus, Joothan unfolds a task of celebrating, honoring and recognizing marginalized groups. The magnificence outlook of Indian Constitution lies in Justice that provides Equality to the underrated people. Article 17 of Indian Constitution asserts on the Abolition of Untouchability and Right to Equality.

 Abstract

Recent advancements in smart cloud computing have yielded numerous advantages, particularly through innovations like the Internet of Things (IoT), which interconnects ordinary objects via the Internet. These IoT devices, equipped with sensors and actuators, collect and transmit data. However, maintaining the confidentiality of users' medical data is paramount, as any breach could endanger lives. To address this, attribute-oriented encryption (AOE) is commonly used for data security and access control. Yet, conventional AOE's processing demands are substantial. To tackle this, an efficient security approach merges AOE with Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) to safeguard sensitive medical information and financial data. For cloud-based data encryption, AOE is a suitable choice for one-to-many communication and access control. Cloud servers can employ FHE to process encrypted data directly. Additionally, elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), known for its high security and compact key size, is integrated. This hybrid AOE-FHE-ECC approach offers reduced computational and storage burdens compared to existing methods. The proposed approach's security is supported by the Decisional Bilinear Diffie-Hellman postulate. Experimentation reveals its superiority, especially for resource-constrained devices, compared to traditional AOE.

 Abstract

Health administrators, work throughout the world to provide proper care to individuals when they are unhealthy and prevent disease. Availability and safe medication administration practices are the basic care provided to all the patients. Medications are chemicals that are intended to cure, prevent disease and relieve symptoms, diagnosis of certain illnesses as well as early treatment. They are prescribed and administered to patients with the intention of achieving results that improve a patient's quality of life while minimizing suffering. Nurses have inadequate medication dosage calculation skills and this is a topic of concern. In the clinical setting, nurses are having rights of medication administration to the patients. Although providing medication is a multidisciplinary process, nurses take on almost all the responsibility for administering and controlling the medication used. In this study we found out that out of the total 160 samples, 56.5% of the staff nurses had moderate knowledge [<50%], 31.25% had adequate knowledge [51-75%] and 11.25% had inadequate knowledge [<50%] regarding the medication dosage calculation. The study also indicates that there is no correlation between the medication dosage calculation skills with selected demographic variables of staff nurses.
