 Abstract

Higher education is integral to fostering the personal and welfare of society and creating as stated in its Constitution, India is to be a democratic, socially responsible, culturally advanced, and compassionate nation that upholds sovereignty, equality, brotherhood, and justice for all. More and more young Indians will pursue higher education as their country moves closer to becoming a knowledge economy and culture. After a 34-year hiatus, the nation has received another National Education Policy (NEP-2020) that takes into account neo-normative viewpoints, the demands of 21st-century society, and the new millennium milieu. The Union Cabinet of India passed the National Policy on Education 2020 on July 29, 2020. lays out the objectives of the country's future educational system and also provides a framework for elementary, secondary, postsecondary, and occupational training and education across urban and rural settings. The long-term goal of this approach was to bring transformational reforms to India's existing educational system, but the road to implementation is littered with potholes. This article attempts to review the concerning higher education and lay forth the benefits and drawbacks of its implementation

ABSTRACT: A primary goal of this study is to manufacture and assess an herbal shampoo and identify its physiochemical function, with an emphasis on the product's safety, efficacy, and quality. Herbal shampoo is a natural product. The most popular hair treatment is shampoo. Shampoo is essentially a product used to remove dirt, dandruff, and other impurities from the hair. It also works to strengthen, darken, and encourage hair growth. Shampoo is a liquid, cream, or cream-based soap or detergent mixture used to wash hair. One cosmetic item that people use on a regular basis to care for and enhance their hair is shampoo. The majority of shampoo's ingredients are chemical, and as a result, they have come under intense criticism for the possibility that using them could have negative side effects like hair loss, increased scaling and itching, discomfort, nausea, and headaches. Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (hibiscus), Embolic officinalis (amla), Acacia concinna (shikakai), Sapindus indica (soapnut), Cassia auriculata (cassia), Eclipta prostrata (bhringraj), and Aloe barbadensis are the herbal extracts employed in the composition (Aloe vera). It gives the hair softness, smoothness, and lustre. Consequently, an effort is made to create herbal shampoo that has no negative effects.

 Abstract

The process of categorising facial photos or videos into specified age groups is known as age group classification. Due of its many applications, including in recruitment, security, health, and social robots with intelligence, it is a crucial task. Recently, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) has demonstrated exceptional performance in interpreting photos and videos of human faces. This study suggested an All-Age Face (AAF) dataset-trained and evaluated age group classification task using CNN. In this study, a 128-d embedding that quantifies the face of the age group was computed using the FaceNet deep learning model, which makes use of CNN. Adolescence and Mature Adulthood were the two age ranges represented in the experiment. For the training photos, the proposed age group classification model had an accuracy of 84.90%, and for the test images, it had an accuracy of 85.12%. The experimental findings demonstrated that CNN can, even with an imbalanced data distribution, achieve competitive classification accuracy across two age groups in the AAF dataset.

In order to predict rating value, a variety of supervised and unsupervised machine learning models are used to a dataset of Amazon product reviews in the following article. A "star" rating on a scale of 1 to 5 is the intended response to the input of a text review. This project might be characterised as a regression variation of sentiment analysis because we want to construct a continuum of sentiment rather than just polarity. Our objective is to create the most adaptable and precise model that can manage the broadest range of conflicting and polarising opinions presented in reviews .In addition to experimenting with various model types, we looked at the effects of seven distinct embeddings, each of which had unique built-in considerations for information like word index, directional significance, context, and frequency. These embeddings included simpler encoding alternatives like Bag of Words and TF-IDF, as well as pre-trained word embedding models like Naive Bayes and LSTM and embedding schemes generated from scratch. We trained three distinct deep learning networks that were more effective as well as supervised boosting models from Light GBM and CatBoost.

The movies in this recommendation are chosen using a content-based recommendation system. We have a dataset of the movies in the project. There are director, keyword, genres, cast, etc. in that dataset. A content-based recommendation engine will consider how much the user enjoyed the film. The next step is to analyse the input movie's content (a dataset), including its genres, director, keywords, and cast, to identify additional films with comparable results. It then evaluates comparable films according to its similarity score and suggests the film to consumers.

 Abstract

The most popular method for administering different medications among all drug delivery systems is oral drug delivery. The aim of designing sustained delivery systems is to reduce the frequency of dosing or to increase the effectiveness of the drug by localizing at the site of action, reducing the dose necessary and providing uniform drug delivery. The most convenient and generally used method of drug delivery has always been oral ingestion .For oral Sustaine release dosage, matrix tablets are a key tool. By dispersing solid particles within a porous matrix made of hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymers, matrix tablets can be formed using wet granulation or direct compression techniques. Sustained release matrix tablets ensure consistent, prolonged drug release and increase drug bioavailability without causing unwanted side effects. The most crucial factor in the formulation of matrix tablets is now the availability of various classes of polymers for regulating the release of drugs.

 Abstract

Due to the Covid-19 outbreak, which demands individuals to put on face masks, preserve social distance, and use sanitizers to wash their hands, face mask detection has emerged as a widely used software. A crucial preventive measure throughout this pandemic is to wear a mask. This is critically valuable when fostering social distance from other individuals is hard. It is imperative to use a mask, especially for those who are more likely to get severe illness from COVID-19 infections. Consequently, the Organizations for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advised everyone aged 2 and older to wear a mask in public, notably when other social distance-keeping measures are difficult to maintain. The only ways to avoid contracting the virus until universal access to immunizations is through "distance" and "wearing a mask". This paper will aid in determining whether or not a person is wearing a mask by employing the same machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies.

 Abstract

Management education is considered as elitist, precious and professional course as it attracts young candidates who are very passionate and motivated by the positive consequences associated with management education to either become a successful manager or to set an example by becoming successful entrepreneur. Management education in India is predominately a derivative of western management thought and practice. Occasionally, management schools draw some inferences from Indian epics, shastras and practices. It may be worthwhile to notice that management itself as a discipline has evolved from fundamental disciplines of philosophy, psychology, economics, accounting, computer science, mathematics, statistics and industrial engineering. In this decade India has witnessed a drastic change in higher education. Especially management education is witnessing an exponential growth in terms of number of institutes imparting management education which are usually termed as Business Schools or Management Institutions. In this paper authors have tried to explore the present situation of management education in India. This paper also studies the trends prevailing in management education in India, and tries to find out how effectively the management education helps the industries as well as how does it help one to become successful entrepreneur. Further the paper explains the emerging issues of management education in India and also explores the strategies and policies to be implied to improve the quality of management education and survive in long run. This paper throws light on existing literatures in management education in India as well as discusses the challenges faced by management institutions.

 Abstract

India, positioned in South Asia is a massive country that ranks 2nd within the global in terms of populace and 7th in terms of geographical area. But, nevertheless these days someplace it substantially lacks economically and socially in evaluation of the evolved global. One of the fundamental aspects that's a drag on its improvement is the dearth of global wide elegance infrastructure. Therefore, the idea of Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) have emerged as a completely feasible, viable, and developing mode of making infrastructure for our country. Though India has followed the blended financial system technique of monetary improvement, the stated precept of public-personal partnership remains indistinct in its conception, real adoption and implementation Public Private Partnership (PPP) project as in line with the Government of India method a project primarily based totally on a long time settlement or concession settlement, among a Government or statutory entity on the only aspect and a personal quarter agency on the opposite aspect, for handing over an infrastructure provider on fee of consumer charges. The concession settlement is specially focused toward financing, designing, enforcing and running infrastructure centres and the collaborative ventures are constructed round together agreed to allocation of resources, dangers and returns. Public Private Partnerships (PPP) have now emerged as an opportunity to the conventional mode of infrastructure provision each in India and relaxation of the sector because of its demonstrated ability to remedy infrastructure inadequacies quicker and cost-effectively. The goal of this paper is to study the relevance of the PPP tasks carried out in India, their development and destiny ability. In addition, this paper will even speak the sources of finance which may be used to accumulate a project, and the PPP project monetary devices which are usually used may also be truly analysed. Based on the in-intensity expertise of the PPP version, the paper will depend upon the improved state of affairs of the PPP version in a few countries, especially India, to offer visible examples of every monetary instrument.

Background and purpose: With increasing competition and growing stress on players to perform has led to increased injuries. Ankle sprain is one of most common sports injury which requires an effective rehabilitation protocol. The primary purpose of this study is to determine which training medium is better (water versus land) when training balance for functional ankle instability. Methods: Thirty subjects with unilateral functional ankle instability were randomly assigned to two groups-water training and land training group. They completed the balance retraining protocol of 4 weeks (thrice a week) in the respective mediums (water and land). The balance improvement was assessed on Star Excursion Balance Test (for dynamic balance) and One Leg Stance Test (for static balance) on 3 intervals-days 0, week 2 and week 4. Results: The results show that both the group improved significantly from day 0 to week 4. The within subject factor was significant for static as well as dynamic balance. The between subject factor was non significant for static as well as dynamic balance. The time into group interaction was significant for 4 directions-anterior, posteromedial, posterior and anterolateral and nonsignificant for other 4 directions-anteromedial, medial, lateral and posterolateral. The time into group interaction was non-significant for one leg stance test. Conclusion: Both the mediums were equally effective when training static as well as dynamic balance. The pattern of improvement for dynamic balance differed across time span of 4 weeks for dynamic balance with water group performing marginally better than the land group. The pattern of improvement across time span of 4 weeks was similar for static balance thus showing water is a clinically better medium for training dynamic balance.

Summary Contagious nodular skin disease caused by contagious nodular skin disease virus is one of the major health problems affecting livestock farming in most African countries. Skin lesions are the main sources of infection; although the virus is evacuated through various body secretions and excretions, including semen. Therefore, susceptible hosts become infected with the virus primarily through mechanical means from blood-sucking arthropods, including flies, mosquitoes, and ticks. Transstadial and transovarian persistence is also possible in various tick species.After infection, the characteristic lesions of contagious nodular skin disease may burst 7 to 14 days after infection in experimental conditions, while in natural cases it takes 2 to 5 weeks. Multiple skin nodules (severe forms), sometimes involving the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, urogenital system and other internal organs. As a result, there will be reduced milk production, miscarriages, temporary or permanent sterility, skin damage and death, further contributing to catastrophic economic losses in livestock producing countries. Therefore, large-scale vaccination combined with other appropriate control measures is the most effective way to limit the spread and economic impact of contagious nodular skin disease.This review aims to provide the latest information on the biology of lumpy skin disease virus, the mechanism of spread, and the clinical and pathological features of lumpy skin disease
