 Abstract

The species Salmonella belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae. They possess interesting phenotypic/genotypic characteristics, history, and nomenclature compared to other bacteria within and outside the family. The organism is what causes typhoidal salmonellosis (TS) and non-typhoidal salmonellosis (NTS). TS and NTS are serious diseases that affect people and animals in different ways and are important for public health around the world. The objective of this study is to isolate Salmonella from chicken samples and to evaluate the drug sensitivity of the food-borne Salmonella and its susceptibility. This study reviewed the characteristics, taxonomy, nomenclature, and nature of Salmonella, as well as the confirmation and biochemical tests (indole test, MR-VP test, citrate test, antibiotic resistance test, gram staining, and ESBL test) for the identification and characterization of Salmonella. The study utilized baseline data and information from peer-reviewed journals, textbooks, and articles from international regulatory bodies. Salmonella exerts huge health and economic impacts due to their virulence or carriage of antibiotic resistance traits. To address these significant issues about public health, the availability of adequate information on the prevalence and antibiotic resistance patterns of Salmonella and the establishment of adequate measures to control contamination and infection are needed. Samples were collected randomly and processed for identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Salmonella.The study's data showed that Salmonella is a Gram-negative rod that doesn't make spores and is negative for oxidase, indole, urease, lactose, and sucrose. It can also live without oxygen and move around. Salmonella is the cause of NTS and TS in men and animals presenting enteritis, septicemia, abortion, and meningitis. Salmonellosis outbreaks have been reported from food, food products of animal origin, and animal contact settings with cross-infection between humans and animals. The objective of this study was to identify types of antimicrobial resistance and their associated genes, isolated from chicken and beef and confirmed to be Salmonella, using standard techniques. Continuous research on Salmonella and salmonellosis should be carried out to contribute to the body of knowledge on the organism and disease and, ultimately, improvement of preventive/therapeutic strategies for the disease.

 Abstract

The GST on building materials has streamlined the taxation structure, which is imposed by the government. Construction employs around thirty million people in the nation, therefore a comprehensive GST is essential. It also adds $200 billion in assets each year. Construction operations are governed by the idea of Work. In the context of GST on the construction process, the term "works contract" is used. The works contract is a wide term that refers to all transactions relating to the construction of a project on a plot of land. It also includes the specifications of the suppliers of raw materials needed to finish any job. The GST on residential house building will include the cost of brick, concrete, paint, wallpapers, and plumbing fixtures. Taxpayers are only obligated to pay GST on under-construction homes, according to the 2017 CGST, therefore there is no need to pay GST on ready-to-move-in residences. Implementation of GST harms the construction and service sectors because of the increased tax rates. The tax rates on the number of items have increased in the construction business. In the service industry, there is also an impact. Customers suffer because they bear the entire weight of the tax rate. It creates a burden on developers and end consumers.

 Abstract

This project presents a fault detection methodology for the IEEE 9-bus system using MATLAB and Simulink. The IEEE 9-bus system is a well-established testbed for studying power system stability and fault analysis due to its complexity and interconnectivity. In this study, various types of faults, including single-line-to-ground (SLG), line-to-line (LL), double-line-to-ground (DLG), and three-phase faults, are simulated and analyzed. The primary objective is to develop a fault detection mechanism that accurately identifies and classifies fault types, location, and severity within the network. The system dynamics are modeled using MATLAB's Simulink environment, leveraging the capabilities of the Sim Power Systems toolbox for power systems simulation. The proposed fault detection algorithm employs wavelet transforms and signal processing techniques to analyze the transient response during fault conditions. By examining voltage and current waveforms at critical nodes, the algorithm pinpoint's fault locations and classify fault types based on characteristic transient features. The findings of this research are essential for advancing the reliability of protection systems, as the early detection of faults minimizes system downtime and ensures stable power delivery. The project concludes with a performance analysis of the fault detection approach, illustrating its effectiveness and accuracy across different fault scenarios in the IEEE 9-bus model.

 Abstract

Romantic artists like Wordsworth, Byron, Shelley, and Keats were enthused in a variety of dissimilar ways by ancient Greece. Stephen Larrabee, in his conclusion pictures the influence of Greek monument on the Romantics, analyses the main thrust of English Romantic Hellenism that the Romantic poets "wished to emulate the Greeks in making great art from the circumstances of their time." In the Romantic age, it was taken for expanded that the logical and imaginative acquirement of old-fashioned Greece and Rome was one of the bedrock of Western background. The conventional world permeated almost every portion of life, from political institutions and theoretical analysis to technical scheme and the basic forms of construction. The ancient Greeks as well as the glory and splendor of the middle ages attract the imagination of natural thirst. Being an artist of romantic age Keats' attitude towards nature developed as he grew up in his poems and it was a temper of merely aesthetic delight, and analyzed pleasure in the beauty of nature. Romantic poetry aims at the large indefinite quantity expression of the individualistic. The poetry of Keats is not a vehicle of prophecy but matter-of-fact. It is for the sake of nature and truth and most of his poems are devoted to the theme of quest for beauty, love chivalry, adventure, glow of imagination, and pathos. Poetry is divinity to Keats and he takes on his own way of communication.

 Abstract

This systematic review investigates the impact of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) on neuroplasticity in individuals with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Targeting populations with trauma-induced neurocognitive alterations, this review synthesizes data from experimental studies employing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Electroencephalography (EEG), identified through PubMed and manual cross-referencing of relevant journals. Sampling primarily focused on clinical participants with diagnosed PTSD, using purposive methods to ensure relevance. Hypothetical projections suggest CBT's potential to mitigate symptoms by enhancing neural pathways linked to emotional regulation and cognitive processing. Observed results validate these projections, demonstrating significant neurobiological adaptations, including improved connectivity and structural changes in key brain regions. Implications highlight the need for comparative studies involving alternative therapeutic approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and mindfulness-based therapy, as well as investigations into the combined efficacy of CBT with pharmacological treatments for holistic and sustained recovery.

 Abstract

The diamond industry demands meticulous precision throughout its processes, particularly in planning and quality control stages. Manual verification, however, is time-consuming and prone to human error. This paper presents an automated smart imaging system designed to streamline the process of verifying line markings made during diamond planning. Using a custom-trained YOLO (You Only Look Once) object detection model, the system automates the task of checking whether the lines drawn by planning personnel match the autoplan suggested by software. By integrating machine learning and image processing techniques, our system aims to automate the manual inspection process, significantly reducing human error, enhancing efficiency, and ensuring consistent diamond quality. Our proposed solution demonstrates the potential for automation in precision industries, such as diamond processing, while still supporting human inspectors by reducing repetitive manual tasks

 Abstract

This paper discusses the faculty view on the employability skills of students from Arts and Science College, which reflects the existing gaps and challenges that hinder the job readiness of students. Employability skills are a combination of technical and non-technical skills that enable students to survive in different occupational and life contexts. Even though students have technical knowledge, many of them fail to acquire critical soft skills such as communication, adaptability, and critical thinking, which are increasingly valued by employers. Such perceptions of faculty members toward this gap are studied by incorporating industry-aligned academic curriculums, experiential exposures through learning, and skill-related training. The study indicated non-significant correlation of skills with employability across a range of ages; and therefore, other variables influencing the teaching methodology, irrelevance of curriculum to modern markets, and lack of relevant practical exposure are far more critical.
