 Abstract

The Burden: The maintenance of dermatological health and facial hygiene has become a paramount concern globally, driven by increasing pollution, urbanization, and the prevalence of acne vulgaris and other inflammatory skin conditions. Acne vulgaris alone affects over 85% of the adolescent population globally, necessitating effective daily intervention strategies. The Gap: Conventional synthetic cleansers, while effective at debris removal, frequently utilize harsh surfactants like sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and parabens. These agents are associated with disruption of the stratum corneum barrier, protein denaturation, skin irritation, and long- term cytotoxicity. The Solution: Herbal face washes, formulated from bioactive plant extracts, offer a promising therapeutic alternative. By leveraging the synergistic effects of natural saponins, essential oils, and tannins, these formulations provide effective cleansing without compromising the skin's natural lipid barrier. The Mechanism: Key pharmacological actions include bacterial cell wall disruption (antimicrobial), modulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines like NF-kB (antiinflammatory), and scavenging of reactive oxygen species (antioxidant). The Result: Clinical and formulation studies indicate that standardized herbal face washes demonstrate comparable cleansing efficacy to synthetic counterparts while significantly improving skin hydration, pH balance, and patient compliance due to reduced adverse effects. This review synthesizes contemporary evidence on the formulation, evaluation, and regulatory aspects of herbal dermal therapeutics.

Competency-Based Learning (CBL) is revolutionizing the education landscape by shifting the focus from rigid, time-bound instruction to the demonstration of mastery over specific skills and competencies. Unlike traditional models where learners progress based on age or time spent in class, CBL allows students to advance only after achieving proficiency. Technology acts as a crucial enabler in this transformation by offering adaptive learning systems, personalized pathways, real-time assessments, and continuous feedback mechanisms that support learner autonomy. This paper examines the integration of technology with CBL, discussing its defining features, benefits, and limitations, while presenting global case studies and future trends. Ultimately, it highlights how technology-driven CBL fosters equity, engagement, and stronger alignment between education and workforce needs.

Drug Regulatory Affairs (DRA) is essential to guaranteeing their effectiveness, safety, and quality. Drug regulation must change to accommodate new technologies like biotechnology, nanomedicine, gene therapy, and biosimilars as the pharmaceutical industry changes due to quick scientific breakthroughs. The USFDA, EMA, CDSCO, MHRA, PMDA, and TGA are just a few of the key regulators that are highlighted in this thorough review of the world's drug regulatory systems. Additionally, it looks at how the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) has contributed to regulatory convergence by establishing uniform standards for efficacy, safety, and quality. The paper also goes into detail on different drug approval regulatory paths, including IND, NDA, ANDA, BLA, biosimilar approvals, fast-track authorizations, and emergency use authorizations. Special focus is paid to generic medications, biosimilars, and interchangeability principles, which greatly affect healthcare affordability and accessibility. The issues encountered by regulatory authorities--such as rising complexity of clinical trials, worldwide harmonization gaps, ethical concerns, and delays in approvals--are critically reviewed. The report delves deeper into the future of drug regulation, forecasting a move towards Blockchain-enabled supply chain monitoring, digital regulatory systems, AI-assisted assessments, and adaptive clinical trial designs. In general, the study highlights how crucial robust regulatory regimes are for advancing public health, fostering innovation, and guaranteeing that everyone has access to safe and effective medications.

 Abstract

The ongoing evolution of real-time rendering solutions has raised the bar on realism, interactivity, and scalability in modern digital applications such as gaming, architectural rendering, and virtual production. Classic rendering solutions are very reliant on hand-authored levels-of-detail and lightmaps, requiring a considerable amount of time and making real-time adaptation and changes unfeasible. Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) in April 5 2022 released two new technologies - Nanite virtualized geometry and Lumen global illumination, that target the above challenges with fully automated and GPU-enabled solutions and real-time calculation. In this work, a technical exploration of the two solutions is presented, examining their architecture, mechanics, and integration into modern rendering solutions. Nanite dynamically manages geometric detail by means of hierarchical clustering, culling on the GPU, and surface caching, eliminating the authoring needs of traditional levels-of-detail processes. Lumen enables real-time global illumination by a hybrid tracing method including screen-space approaches, distance-field propagation, and surface caching either with hardware or much cheaper solution, software ray tracing support. A comparison with more traditional solutions reveals improvements regarding production efficiency, iteration time, and image quality, besides dependencies on hardware and workflow limitations.

 Abstract

Normal anatomy of the Abdomen, pathology and Radiological findings of abdominal pain is discussed. Acute Abdomen is an emergency disease with acute abdominal pain as the main feature. Through severe diseases in intra-Abdominal, extra pelvic and retroperitoneal tissues and organs, symptoms and clinical signs led by abdominal pain are formed. The aim of this work is to demonstrate the value of the Radiological examination in the diagnosis of Pain or obstructiveabdominal diseases.Radiologically the patients are subjected to go through various examinations viz CXR PA view, USG Abd, X Ray Abdomen(Supine AP, lateral, Standing AP), MDCT Abdomen along with some lab tests.In Plain chest x-ray can see the any Chest infection or level of domes of diaphragm etc. In the plain abdomen supine Radiography can visualised any stone and the fluid levels or any perforation etc. In case the plain erect radiographyof abdomen can see the any fluid level of air to see theobstruction. Normal X rays still have their greater advantage in clinical findings but are less sensitive. They are still the best studies for normal screening and in the detection of calculi and various obstructions. Ultrasound playsa significant role in determining the anatomical variants and is considered as the first line imaging modality of choice for emergency abdominal evaluation. Multi Detector Computed Tomography has become the imaging modality of choice for complicated disease courses and also for some inflammatory processes, not only in adults but also in children. Indications like Pancreatitis, Abscesses, Liver cirrhosis, Flank pain, inflammatory bowel diseases, chronic obstructions etc. are diagnosed well on a MDCT. Computed Tomography has been also considered the ideal first choice for hospitalised patients in whom abdominal infection is suspected.MRI also plays a great role in achieving diagnosis of Pancreatitis and the visualisation of biliary anatomy and calculi.

 Abstract

Lip prints are normal line and fissures in the form of wrinkles and grooves present on the lips. Lip prints are similar to fingerprints and have individual characteristics. Lip prints provide us important information and have become an important tool in forensic identification. Lip prints are unique to each person but basic lip prints patterns could still have similarities within the family. If established that there is a hereditary pattern in lip prints patterns, can be an important tool in personal identification and determining familial lineage of a person. The present study was carried out to ascertain whether there is any hereditary pattern in lip prints between parents and offspring's. The subjects were included 90 individuals of 30 families from Kollam district. Father, mother and a son or daughter of each family was selected. The lip prints of either son or a daughter along with their father and mother from each family were recorded. Each lip of the 30 offspring was compared with the corresponding lip of his or her parents. The middle segments of each lip of the offspring that matched with either of parents was noted and recorded. The results were evaluated by Chi-square test.

 Abstract

Ruskin Bond's short story Dust on the Mountain presents a compelling ecocritical critique of industrial exploitation in the fragile Himalayan region, foregrounding the environmental and human costs of quarrying. Set against a landscape transformed into dust and debris, the narrative exposes how mechanized progress disrupts ecological balance and rural life. Through the perspective of the young narrator, Bisnu, Bond contrasts indigenous environmental wisdom with the extractive logic of modern industry. Bisnu's intimate bond with the mountain reflects a worldview rooted in coexistence, where nature is perceived not as a commodity but as a living, sustaining presence. The quarry operates as a powerful symbol of unchecked development, producing short-term economic benefits while leaving irreversible damage in its wake. Bond's depiction of dust-choked air, scarred terrain, and abandoned livelihoods underscores the concept of environmental "slow violence," highlighting how gradual ecological degradation erodes both land and community. Nature, however, is not rendered passive; instead, it emerges as an active force that responds to exploitation through instability and collapse, ultimately reclaiming agency. This process suggests a form of restorative justice; wherein ecological systems assert limits against human excess. By situating local environmental destruction within a broader moral framework, the story challenges dominant narratives of progress and development in postcolonial India. It calls attention to the marginalization of rural communities and the erasure of traditional ecological knowledge. Ultimately, "Dust on the Mountain" advocates a harmonious relationship between humans and the natural world, making it a resonant literary intervention in contemporary environmental debates surrounding sustainability, justice, and ethical development.

 Abstract

Bank lockers are a huge issue as the security is plain old. They employ outdated keys and easy passwords, and can't Secure valuables from incidents such as fire. In this paper, we examine contemporary security devices in-depth and discover they do not cooperate. To rectify this, we designed a super-secure Smart Locker Security System. It operates on the mighty, compact computer, Raspberry Pi 4, and requires users to undergo five independent identity verifications: face recognition, fingerprint, voice authentication, a physical RFID card, and an individual one-time password (OTP). Even better, it always protects the locker itself with four additional sensors that monitor for fire, smoke, intense shaking, and excessive heat. By combining these nine various security checks with each other, our system builds a solid shield that ensures assets are secure from burglars and calamity.

 Abstract

Aim: Locally based indigenous crafts/skills/products are vital for revitalizing the local economy. The preservation and promotion of local crafts and products have the potential to enhance the economic well-being of the artisans. The paper evaluates the Indian Railways' One Station, One Product (OSOP) Scheme in the Agra Division of the North Central Railway Zone. Methodology: This study was conducted in the Agra Division of the NCR Zone, which has the other divisions named Jhansi and Prayagraj. Out of 47 stations in the Agra division nominated for the scheme, only 17 stations are running it. A total of 63 respondents from 17 stations were included in the study. This paper is based on primary data collected from direct personal interviews of the artisans/vendors and secondary data collected from the railway officials (Sr-DCM Agra Division-NCR, Station Master and Station Superintendent), websites (https://ncr.indianrailways.gov.in/, http://odop.up.in ), news reports (DD News, PIB News etc.) and several research papers have also been reviewed. Findings: This paper discusses the problems faced by the OSOP vendors. Most vendors raise their voice regarding the selection criteria, complaints about the high operational cost, and the absence of full-time jobs. Based on suggestions- location of the stall, creation of public awareness, uniform packaging, etc, the researchers prepared an action plan. Limitation of the Study: The study is based on only one of the divisions of the NCR. Conclusion: OSOP has great potential as a new source to enhance the livelihood of artisans and support the call of 'Vocal to Local'.

 Abstract

In an increasingly cluttered advertising environment, emotional and creative elements are widely used to capture attention and shape consumer perception. This study examines how emotional cues such as nostalgia, empathy, warmth, and relatability, along with creative elements including humour, music, and visual storytelling, influence consumer recall, brand recognition, and purchase consideration. Adopting a qualitative exploratory approach, the study involved showing five advertisements to participants, followed by semi-structured interviews supported by structured survey responses. The findings reveal that emotional and creative elements significantly enhance advertisement recall and viewer engagement, with music and humour emerging as particularly strong memory triggers. However, the results also indicate that high recall and positive emotional response do not consistently translate into purchase intent, as consumers continue to prioritise perceived product value, trust, and prior brand experience. The study highlights the importance of strategically integrating emotional depth and creative execution with clear brand cues to create advertisements that are both memorable and effective.
