 Abstract

Democratic decentralization entails those representative local authorities (individual or collective bodies) are entrusted with significant powers. The distinction between participatory approaches and democratic decentralization is that the latter is specifically about including whole populations in decision making based on representative authority. Effective decentralization is a key tool for strengthening democracy. Decentralization is not unique to India, but a global trend. Institutions of local governance - Panchayati Raj, have existed in India since 1882. Gross roots governance has been a major concern of the planning process in Indian ever since the introduction of Panchayati raj in 1959. In order to improve the participation of rural people in the process of development and involvement in decision-making and decentralized planning, the government of India has made 73rd Constitutional Amendment in 1992 to provide constitutional recognition to Panchayati Raj Institutions. Like the 73rd amendment, the 74th amendment also lays down the structure of urban local bodies; provides for their regular, free and fair elections; makes provision for reservation of seats for SC, ST and OBCs; fixes their term to five years; protects them against arbitrary dissolution, specifies their powers and responsibilities; and attempts to strengthen the fiscal base of the urban local bodies. In the 43rd year of the Republic of India, 1992 the Constitution (74th Amendment) was passed which came into force on 1st June 1993.

 Abstract

Higher education's purpose and value are rapidly evolving as a result of technological progress and the widespread availability of data. In higher education institutions around the world, data mining and advanced predictive analytics are increasingly being used to perform tasks such as student recruitment, enrollment, prediction of student behaviour, and the development of personalised learning schemes. Big data and cloud computing impact on higher education is examined in this chapter. Using a systematic literature review and qualitative content analysis, the authors establish their position on the benefits, challenges and opportunities of using big data and cloud computing in education. We are conducting a comprehensive literature review in order to identify trends, classify research themes, identify potential future research avenues, and point out potential limitations. We conducted a systematic review of all 40 primary studies published between the years of 2014 to 2019. There has been an increase in education-related big data studies over the last two years, according to the findings of this study. Current studies on big data in education cover four main research themes: learner behaviour and performance, model-based educational data warehouse, system enhancements, and integration of big data into curriculums. Research on student behaviour and performance has been the primary focus of most big data educational studies.

 Abstract

Introduction: BDNF has potent effects on neural synapses and high expression in the brain. Its pathway affects cell survival and other biological processes, namely neurite and axonal growth. Kaempferia galanga L. (aromatic ginger) has many active substances with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Administration of antioxidants can modulate BDNF levels useful for reducing the progression of traumatic brain injury. We analyzed the expression of BDNF in the injured brains of the rats after administration of Kaempferia galanga L. extract. Methods: This experiment analyzes the expression of BDNF in four different group of Wistar rats (Ratus novergicus) based on the presence of TBI using Feeney TBI weight drop model and Kaempferia galanga L. extract administration into Groups A (no trauma & extract), B (with trauma & no extract), C (with trauma and 600 mg/kgbw extract), and D (with trauma and 1200 mg/kgbw extract). Groups B, C, and D are further divided into those who had their BDNF measured on 24- (B24, C24, and D24) and 48-hours post-trauma & extract administration using immunohistochemistry evaluation. Results: BDNF expression were found to be statistically significant between Group A with both B24 (p = 0,009) and D24 (p = 0,009) on the 24-hour post-trauma decapitation analysis. On the 48 hours after trauma and extract administration, Group B48 (p = 0,002), C48 (p = <0,001), and D48 (p <0,001) were found to be significantly different with Group A. In all the rats receiving trauma & extract administration, there were no statistically significant differences between groups. Conclusion: There was a significant difference in the results of BDNF expression within 24 and 48 hours in the control group without treatment with the other three groups, namely the control group with treatment, the treatment group with Kaempferia galanga L. extract 600 mg/kgbw, and the treatment group with Kaempferia galanga L. extract 1200 mg/kgbw. There was no significant difference in the results of BDNF expression both within 24 hours and 48 hours in the control group with the treatment group with 600 mg/kg Kaempferia galanga L. extract, and the treatment group with 1200 mg/kg Kaempferia galanga L. extract, However, there is an increase in the level of BDNF expression from the graphs of the results of the assessment of BDNF expression at 24 and 48 hours. Therefore, the administration of Kaempferia galanga L. extract to patients with brain injury can be considered as an option in increasing brain BDNF levels which are neuroprotective, but larger and specific studies are needed to determine the appropriate dose and duration for the use of Kaempferia galanga L. extract as a neuroprotectant agent in brain injuries.

 Abstract

A female geriatric patient, was recently diagnosed with Hypothyroidism, Hypertension and Fungal infections, is being treated for Septic acute kidney injury and is on dialysis. Patient attained menopause twenty years back. Upon communication, she told she never went to the hospital for her routine body checkup as she had no symptoms as such. The inter-relationship between Hypertension - Hypothyroidism and Hypothyroidism-Menopause suspects the actual pathophysiology for developing complication such as Septic acute kidney injury. Age and immunosupression being a causative factor for developing fungal injections. Our case report concluded the actual relationship between the above mentioned diseases. Thus, therapeutic drug monitoring in various patients population such as geriatrics, pediatrics, obese or with complications, is must in order to achieve desired therapeutic outcomes and maintaining the safety levels of the drugs in the body. Hence, decreasing re-hospitalization and improving the quality of life of patients by curing the symptoms or disease in its best possible way

 Abstract

Women empowerment is a new concept in India as compared to history in the rest of the world. The Vedic Yuga was marked by a considerable freedom and absence of bondages upon women. The honour of women started dwindling just after the Vedic age. The Mughal period followed the suit and women continued to be helpless and dependent on men. It was British Empire that brought a little change in the condition of women. The fact is that our society has always been primarily male dominated. Yet it is the recent time that witnessed a huge rise in enthusiasm for women empowerment. Indian women are significantly involved at the grass roots level of activism. In Independent India women have important political and administrative positions. When India became a sovereign republic, the first Lok Sabha had only 22 women though there was no dearth of suitable candidates at that time. the 17th Lok Sabha will have the highest number of women representatives ever. They have account for 14.49% of the entire strength of the Lower House, which was at 11.9% with a total 65 women MPs in the previous Lok Sabha. The Rajya Sabha brought the number of women MPs to 25 of 245, just over 10% of the house. This brings the tally of women in parliament to 104 (there are 79 women in the 17th Lok Sabha), which is a new record. We considered 30 States and Union Territories for this analysis. The total number of MLAs in each Vidhan Sabha or Legislative Assembly ranges anywhere between 30 to 398. Unsurprisingly, male MLAs form an overwhelming majority across all states, constituting anywhere between 86% to a full 100% in some states. Across India, an average of 8% MLAs are women.

 Abstract

The goal of this study is to formulate and evaluate Promethazine hydrochloride Oral Fast Dissolving film as a powerful antihistamines used to alleviate nausea, motion sickness, and better bioavailability in comparison with conventionally solid oral dose. This work was performed to formulate an antimigraine medication, Sumatriptan Succinate (SUM), mouth dissolving films (ODFs) to improve the comfort and compliance with older and pediatric patients for better therapeutic effectiveness. The formulation of ODFs was formerly made from Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose alongside film modifier / solubilizing agents, PVP K30 and Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS). The ODFs were developed using wet film applicator techniques and their physical and mechanical characteristics were evaluated for in vitro disintegration, and in vitro. The dissolution properties were strengthened when compared with the HPMC E15 for ODFs, 13 percent (w/w) of HPMC E5. ODFs with PVP K30 and SLS provided superior dissolution properties when compared to ODFs without PVP K30 and SLS. The dissolution properties of ODFs with PVP K30 were superior as compared to ODFs with SLS. SUM MDFs have overall demonstrated strong mechanical characteristics including strength of the tensile, folding resilience, length of time and dissolution. The HPMC is an outstanding former film for the fast release of drugs. These findings indicate that the planning process for oral film dissolution. Solvent casting, semi-solid casting, hot melt extrusion, solid dispersion extrusion, rolling current assessment takes the formulation of various preparation methods and quality controls for fast oral thin film dissolving into account.

This study has be undertaken to find out the challenges faced by women college teachers in Chennai city.The concept of work from home is a new phenomenon which came as a routine practice and challenge since March 2020, after the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic. This led to many countries announcing lockdowns and strict social distancing, respiratory hygiene and handwashing protocols to bring the disease into control. Most of the employers insisted the employees to stay indoors and work from home in a safe, healthy and hygienic atmosphere. Initially it was considered as a boon but very soon it proved to be a bane too considering the factors like added stress, lack of mobility, feeling stretched and loss of work life balance and many more The study aims at analyzing the challenges faced by teaching faculty with a special reference to a selected colleges in the city of Chennai

 Abstract

The trees are generally cut for the fulfilment of paper requirement of the whole world. The paper industry which is the third largest industry is highly responsible for the air & water pollution. Keeping this in mind we made an attempt to produce eco-friendly handmade paper inlaid with leaves of peltophorum pterocarpum, petals of rose, bougainvillea and beet root juice. The simple procedure is adopted for the preparation of our handmade paper. We collected the waste papers and soaked them in water. The paper pulp was prepared by grinding, which was followed by the addition of leaves of peltophorum pterocarpum, petals of rose, bougainvillea and beet root juice to increase its aesthetic value. This grinded pulp is then subjected to filtration, rolling and drying process which resulted into the formation of handmade paper. Our handmade paper can be used for painting, preparing greeting cards & calligraphy.

 Abstract

Oral cancer is a major global health issue accounting for 177,384 deaths in 2018 and it is most prevalent in low- and middle-income countries. Enabling automation in the identification of potentially malignant and malignant lesions in the oral cavity would potentially lead to low-cost and early diagnosis of the disease. Building a large library of well-annotated oral lesions is key. In this paper we developed neural networks based oral cancer detection using different image processing techniques. For that we are using Convolutional Neural Network for the automated detection of oral lesions for the early detection of oral cancer. Here we define oral cancer as malignant neoplasms of lip, tongue and mouth.

 Abstract

Concrete is made up of a variety of materials, including coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, cement, and water, which are mixed in different proportions to achieve a specific strength. The most important material, cement, plays an important role in the production of concrete. The high cost of traditional building materials is a major factor influencing construction costs. This is a necessity-driven search for new types of alternative construction materials. As a coarse aggregate, waste glass in the form of fine aggregate can be used. In testing cubes for workability, compression strength, and flexural strength, the proportion of the mineral and mixtures is used. The effects of glass powder addition on the properties of M40 mortar concrete mix at 28 days three concrete mix with dosages of 20% of the weight concrete mix are briefly discussed in this paper. As mix dosages, a combination of these glass powders will be used. Cubes measuring 15x15x15cm were used to test compressive strength. The result of glass powder concrete curing for 7 days, 14 days, and 28 days
