 Abstract

Gray Baby Syndrome (GBS) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition observed in neonates, primarily linked to the administration of chloramphenicol, an antibiotic. This poster explores the causes, effects, and management strategies for GBS, aiming to enhance awareness among healthcare professionals. The syndrome arises from immature liver enzyme systems in neonates, which impair the metabolism and excretion of chloramphenicol, leading to toxic drug levels. Clinical manifestations include ashen-gray skin discoloration, abdominal distension, respiratory distress, and cardiovascular collapse. Early diagnosis is crucial, often relying on clinical symptoms and elevated serum chloramphenicol levels. Management involves immediate discontinuation of the drug, supportive care, and in severe cases, exchange transfusion to reduce toxicity. This research underscores the importance of careful drug selection, dosage adjustments, and pharmacovigilance in neonates to prevent GBS and highlights the need for continued research into safer antibiotic alternatives and early diagnostic tools.

 Abstract

Employee engagement plays a crucial role in driving organizational success, influencing various aspects of work performance such as productivity, creativity, retention, and overall job satisfaction. This study examines the role of behavioral principles in enhancing employee engagement by exploring foundational theories like the Hawthorne Studies, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, and Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory. The paper further investigates the application of these theories through case studies of industry leaders such as Google, Zappos, and Netflix, which have successfully integrated intrinsic and extrinsic motivators into their employee engagement strategies. The study concludes that fostering autonomy, mastery, and purpose--while also managing hygiene factors effectively--can significantly improve employee outcomes, including satisfaction, productivity, and retention. The research also explores the evolving role of technology, leadership, and organizational culture, particularly in the context of hybrid and remote work environments.

 Abstract

Karate is a Japanese martial art that uses striking and kicking techniques with hands, feet, elbows, and knees, as well as blocking and grappling, to develop physical and mental discipline. Karate related musculoskeletal pain are more common in students as continuous intense rhythmic movements of joints take place. Handgrip strength(HGS) is essential for the human body when performing precise hand actions. It is a low-cost method of estimating a persons total upper body strength which may reflect physical activity and general health. Hamstring muscle flexibility is the key component of martial arts training that improves performance and lowers the risk of injuryMETHOD : A cross sectional study was used. A purposive sample method, composed of 151 karate students between ages of 10 to 14 years in and around Ernakulum(Kerala). The study duration was 3 months. The outcome measures used were Modified Nordic Questionnaire for assessing musculoskeletal pain, Hand held Dynamo-meter for handgrip strength, Active Knee Extension Test(AKE) for assessing Hamstring tightness. RESULTS : A total of 151 subjects participated in this study. Among them 92 were boys while 59 were girls. In accordance with statistical analyses there is a prevalence in musculoskeletal problems among u-14 karate students. Hips/thighs 29.8% and knees 25.1% were the most often reported pain sites, 59% had hamstring tightness, whereas 41% showed hamstring flexibility and 74% subjects showed normal strength ,21% were weak and 5% had strong handgrip strength. CONCLUSION: The study revealed that musculoskeletal problems are common among U-14 karate students, limiting their karate involvement and shortening their careers. Understanding the prevalence can aid in preventive training and the development of strategies to reduce the prevalence of musculoskeletal diseases.

 Abstract

Satras are considered as one of the most influential development of Medieval Assam. Along with the Namghars, these institutions had shaped the socio-cultural and religious fold of contemporary Assam and still have a significant prominence. The origin of the Satra concept could be traced back right to the Hindu scriptures like Satapatha Brahmana. The growth of Bhakti movement had its after marks in the North Eastern part of India in the form of Neo-Vaishnavite movement, continued from Northern India. Along with the waves of Neo-Vaishnavite movement initiated and propounded by Srimanta Sankardeva and his disciples including Sri Sri Madhabdeva, the Satra institutions became an integral part of Assamese society. Following the death of Sankardeva, internal conflicts among the devotees led to the fraction of 4 Samhatis with their respective features. Brahma, Purusha, Kala and Nika - these four Samhatis have their identical features reflected through the Satra institutions. As per the impacts, Satras has a holistic impact over Assamese society in various sectors, i.e. - social, cultural, economic, religious etc. In this paper, I basically tried to present the origin and development of Satra institution in Assam in association with Neo-Vaishnavite movement. The impact of Satra institutions in Assamese society is duly analysed through this paper.

 Abstract

The appearance of fruits plays a significant role in determining their quality. Not only does it affect their market price, but it also influences consumer choices and preferences. The visual appeal of fruits--such as their colour, texture, size, shape, and any imperfections--provides valuable insight into their overall quality. Traditionally, inspecting these aspects by hand is time-consuming and labour-intensive. To address this, the food industry has increasingly turned to computer vision systems for automating the inspection process of fruits and agricultural products. After years of development, these systems have proven to be a reliable and effective tool for ensuring high-quality standards. This paper provides an in-depth look at each step involved in this process. Grading systems based on the Internet of Things (IOT) are a creative way to automate and expedite the assessment process in commercial or educational contexts. With little assistance from humans, this system effectively grades and evaluates performance by utilizing Internet of Things components including sensors, microcontrollers, and cloud platforms. Using sophisticated algorithms, the system gathers data from the users or items being evaluated, processes it, and then offers real-time feedback and grading. Stakeholders can monitor and analyze results thanks to an intuitive interface, and cloud storage integration guarantees safe and convenient data management. By improving the grading process's effectiveness, precision, and transparency, this study hopes to provide a useful answer for contemporary industrial and educational applications.

 Abstract

Cloud computing has become crucial to modern businesses for its scalability and flexibility to thrive. But managing cloud costs effectively has become more difficult, as unused resources, incorrect forecasting and governance holes mean that money is going to waste. In this work we explore how Cloud Asset Reporting Systems (CARS) can address such challenges and enable US enterprises to optimize their cloud expenditures. To help businesses get real time insights into the usage of their cloud resources CARS uses advanced technology such as machine learning, predictive analytics and automation. It identifies and unscrambles the waste elements such as redundant resources, that a company pays only for what it really needs. CARS enables better forecasting to avoid over provisioning and under provisioning, which saves the business from needless costs and performance problems. CARS also simplifies governance, automating compliance checks and combining cloud cost management at scale -- too important to manage yourself when you deal with super complex regulations. The results show how CARS improves resource allocation, facilitates a more appropriate budgeting mechanism, and aligns cloud spend with business objectives. The role of CARS would only expand as organizations advance more in the use of cloud and trendy things would come like an AI driven analytics and sustainability metrics of it. In accepting CARS the US enterprise is doing more than cutting costs. It is about unlocking the ability to innovate, maintaining financial health and staying agile in a more digital world. Building efficient, cost-effective, future ready cloud operations, this research demonstrates the value of integrating CARS.

 Abstract

The human psyche, with its experiences, relationships, and perceptions all woven into it like threads in a tapestry, can sometimes fray and begin to tear apart, and this creates an internal split and alienation. In this displacement, usually psychologically and existentially grounded, people are lost and unconnected to themselves and their surroundings. This phenomenon, described in the best terms as fragmented identity, is a major theme covered in both Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar and Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway. This paper will look at the literary travels of Esther Greenwood and Clarissa Dalloway to discuss the experiences of psycho-existential displacement and fragmented identities from the standpoint of psychological studies. Finally, to enumerate the characters who epitomize the harmful effects of fractured identities and their struggles, we can point out Joan and Septimus Warren Smith. In trying to understand their internal battles with society and their deep-felt sense of isolation, one can understand better this difficult psychological condition and how it manifests in modernist as well as confessional writings.

 Abstract

Globally, cervical cancer ranks as the fourth most common kind of cancer. It is mostly caused by HPV strains. With a healthy immune system, it might take 15 to 20 years for HPV infection to proceed to cervical cancer. Early detection and treatment depend on this time frame. Medical practitioners employ screening methods such as Pap smears, HPV testing, and Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) to identify precancerous lesions and lower the risk of morbidity and mortality from cervical cancer. The effectiveness of VIA is still up for discussion, despite the fact that it is thought to be a more affordable and economical form of therapy. The first line of prevention should be HPV immunization. Certain vaccines, such Cervarix, Gardasil, and Gardasil 9, are essential for protecting against oncogenic HPV strains and significantly reducing the risk of cervical cancer. Radiation therapy or chemotherapy are two possible treatments for patients with cervical cancer. In more extreme cases, laser therapy or therapeutic hysterectomy are used. A healthier diet can also help meet immune function demands, although supportive treatment is still necessary to maximize patient results. Dietary control and nursing are also crucial. Although cervical cancer can be treated in a variety of ways, the main causes of treatment success variations include wide variations in healthcare systems, as well as the accessibility of cervical cancer screening and vaccinations

 Abstract

Barrett's esophagus is a condition in which there is an abnormal metaplastic change in the mucosal cells lining the lower portion of the esophagus. This change is considered to be a premalignant condition because of its potential to further transition to esophageal adenocarcinoma, an often-deadly cancer1. The majority of BE cases are acquired, with the precipitant being long-standing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Rare families have an increased incidence of developing BE through autosomal dominant inheritance of certain susceptibility alleles, known as the familial Barrett esophagus phenotype. BE predisposes patients to the development of dysplasia and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), a cancer with high morbidity and mortality2. Approximately 3% to 5% of patients with Barrett esophagus will be diagnosed with esophageal adenocarcinoma in their lifetime3 . Screening for Barrett's esophagus remains selective based on risk factors, a screening program in the general population is not routinely recommended. Diagnosis of BE is established with a combination of endoscopic recognition, targeted biopsies, and histologic confirmation of columnar metaplasia4. Several treatment modalities for advanced disease and cancer have been developed and studied to effectively treat disease, from endoscopic resection and ablation to more aggressive surgical options4.

Some of the food production are seasonal. The market demand is also variable. So, there is an issue for production and market demand faced by the FPOs (Farmers Producer Organizations). Some of the works started by the FPOs can not fulfill the demand in the market because of many issues like Climatic conditions, weather/rainfall instability and local issues like labour and migration etc. . It is a challenging part for the FPOs to match the supply and demand of the market at certain point. This paper has been made to combat some issues on the production and marketing shortages, surplus and balancing the situation in these two parameters.

 Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are comprised of resource-constrained nodes with limited battery power. Energy efficiency is paramount for extending network lifetime while maintaining reliable communication. This paper explores various optimization techniques for minimizing energy consumption in WSNs, focusing on routing protocols, data aggregation, duty cycling, and energy harvesting. We analyze the trade-offs between energy efficiency and communication reliability, highlighting the challenges and future directions in this critical area of research. This paper proposes a Source-Intimated and Energy-Efficient Protocol (SIEEP) to address energy in efficiency in wireless sensor networks. The protocol integrates source-node awareness and adaptive energy management to optimize routing paths and reduce energy consumption. Simulations demonstrate significant improvements in network lifetime and reliability compared to existing protocols.

 Abstract

Local government agencies implementing automation systems create new possibilities to enhance transparency and accountability and boost operational efficiency when delivering public services. The analysis examines how automation accomplishes administrative process optimization and manual reduction while enabling real-time data availability. In combination with Ansible, Jenkins allows local agencies to standardize repetitive workflows, reducing human mistakes while streamlining their focus on key decision processes. The accessibility of budgets and project information alongside audit trails in real-time surpasses traditional levels of transparency through automation technology. The openness that emerges from automation builds accountable systems through verifiable records while reducing the chance of corruption or mismanagement. Through data-driven governance systems, automation provides the fundamental capability to evaluate metrics necessary for efficient process operations, resource usage, and community outreach strategies. These data insights facilitate better decisions and customized service adjustments that serve changing public demands. The study combines qualitative interviews with agency officials and IT specialists alongside quantitative employee and citizen surveys to achieve its research goals. New research shows that automation drives better operational performance, builds trust through improved workflow transparency, and optimizes resource allocation. For successful automation implementation, agencies must overcome three major barriers: staff resistance to the new system, technical issues, and inadequate funding. This research demonstrates that automation functions beyond its functional benefits to catalyze government institution reforms. For successful automation adoption within local agencies, a combination of well-planned strategies adapted for employee training and necessary policy frameworks are essential. Government acceptance of automation will create higher service quality and enhanced institutional trust, leading to superior governance systems serving citizens more effectively.

 Abstract

Today's construction industry views Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) as a novel and significant material. Because of their exceptional mechanical qualities (compressive strength between 35 and 100 MPa and typical tensile strength between 2 and 7 MPa), ECC materials are employed in structural design, repairs, and retrofitting. The current work examines the impact strength, direct tensile testing, and compressive strength of engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) that contain fibers. To this end, three more schemes the 2%, 2.5%, and 3% Polypropylene fiber, the 5%, 6.5%, 8%, and 10% Metakaolin, and the 12% Silica grid are employed in this ECC study. Cube and cylindrical specimen testing The test subjects, who are 14 and 28 days old, are evaluated for their respective split tensile strength and compressive strength. To assess the ultimate tension test, a dog-bone-shaped specimen is also put through 28 days of testing. The impact resistance of the first fracture is further increased by the presence of silica grid, metakaolin, and polypropylene fiber. In addition, the failure strength of mixtures containing fiber is improved by 35 to 90% when compared to mixtures without fiber.

This study aimed to examine the This study aims to improve the effect of soccer specific training With and without of interval training on an aerobic power and VO2 max woman soccer players. Total 45 female soccer players from Annamalai University in Chidambaram, Cuddalore District, Tamilnadu, who were between the ages of 18 and 23, participated in the study for this reason. Anaerobic power and VO2max, the chosen dependent variable, was evaluated before and after the training program using a running-based anaerobic power test and cooper test. Randomly chosen subjects were divided into 3 groups: two experimental groups and a control group. Group one underwent soccer-specific training and two underwent soccer- specific training with interval training, three served as the control group. The soccer-specific training comprised skills-based activities and specific movements like short sprints, jumps, agility drills etc. The interval training comprised 30,50,100,150,300,500 meters run with different intensities. The initial intensity was set at 75% before being raised by 5% every two weeks. The subjects ran these distances at their most relaxed speed and with the designated intensity. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was employed as a statistical approach to ascertain whether there was, in fact, a significant difference between the data from the chosen dependent variable's pretest and post-test. The paired mean differences were determined using Scheffe's post hoc test whenever the adjusted post-test 'F' ratio value was found to be significant. The accepted level of significance was P>= 0.05. The results revealed significant improvements happened because of both training. SSTG group had 1.44 & 2.31 and CTG showed 2.31 &3.54 percentage improvement happened on anaerobic power and vo2max respectively. The obtained f ratio was 7.91 and 28.38 of anaerobic power and vo2max respectively.

Parents play a fundamental role in both the schooling and raising of their children. They serve as advocates, ensuring their children receive appropriate education and support (Hou et al. 2022). Parents play a crucial role in their children's lives by providing daily care, emotional support, and fostering their education and social development, essential for their overall growth and success. If parental engagement is crucial for typically developing children, its importance is even greater in the schooling and raising of children with disabilities. According to Duhaney and Salend (2000), active parental engagement in the schooling and upbringing of their disabled children is indispensable. Thus, the present study aims to study the engagement of parents in educating their children with disabilities in Mizoram with reference to occupation.

 Abstract

This project focuses on creating a system that allows people to control a mouse on a computer screen using both their eye and hand movements. The idea is to make it easier for people who have difficulty using regular input devices like a mouse and keyboard, or who need a handsfree way to interact with their computers. By combining eye-tracking technology with hand movements, users will be able to move the mouse cursor just by looking at different areas of the screen, and they can use hand gestures to perform clicks or other actions. The system is designed to improve accessibility for individuals with mobility impairments, offering an alternative way to control computers. In this report, we go through all the steps involved in making this system, starting with understanding the problems users face and analysing their needs. We then describe the methods and technology used to track eye and hand movements. The design phase explains how the system processes these movements and turns them into mouse actions on the screen. The project also looks at ways to test and improve the system, ensuring it is accurate and easy to use. Lastly, we discuss how the system could be enhanced in the future, for example, by adding more advanced gesture controls or expanding its use to other devices, making it useful for a wider range of users. This combination of eye and hand movement tracking offers a more flexible and accessible computing experience.
