 Abstract

Nanostructural lipid carriers (NLCs) are an alternate generation of lipid carriers. They've emerged as a promising class of medicine delivery systems to overcome some of the downsides of traditional formulations. NLCs offer a unique lipid matrix structure composed of both solid and liquid lipids, enhancing their medicine loading capacity, stability, and controlled release characteristics. Currently, a variety of DDS are available, which increases the medications' bioavailability in various environments and circumstances as well as their solubility in a variety of media. NLCs are a unique type of DDS that may produce concentrated dispersions and are stable in a variety of conditions. NLCs have been used in various drug delivery applications, such as oral, parenteral, optical, pulmonary, nose-to-brain, excrescence targeting, and transdermal medicine delivery. NLCs were created to address issues with solid lipid nanoparticles and are used in a variety of therapeutic methods. NLCs were originally allowed of for the delivery of lipophilic drugs, but it's now clear that they're also suitable for hydrophilic drugs. The emergence of lipids as a viable drug delivery system is due to their biocompatibility. It was discovered to retain better lipid rates than other lipid compositions. In terms of designs, styles of manufacture, characterization, stability, and benefits over first-generation lipid nanoparticles, the major emphasis of the article is to give a comprehensive review of NLC's types, advantages, characteristics, components, method of preparation, application by different routes, biosafety and toxicology, latest advances, and future perspectives.

 Abstract

The project revolves around tackling the issue of keyword search with access control over encrypted data in cloud computing. A scalable framework has been proposed, allowing users to locally derive a search capability based on their attribute values and a search query. File retrieval is permitted only when the keywords match the query, and the user's attribute values pass the policy check. To enforce fine-grained access control and enable multi-field query searches, the project utilizes hierarchical predicate encryption, a recent cryptographic primitive. The implemented scheme, named keyword search with access control, addresses the challenges associated with searching encrypted data while maintaining access control . The scheme also accommodates search capability deviation and ensures efficient access policy updates and keyword updates without compromising data privacy. In an effort to enhance privacy, the keyword search with access control introduces noise into the query, concealing users' access privileges . The project conducts thorough evaluations on real-world datasets to validate the practicality of the proposed scheme. The results demonstrate the scheme's effectiveness in protecting user access privileges and its applicability in real-world scenarios.

Abstract: Theoretical results of molar refractivity and refractive index for three binary systems, namely 2-propenol + benzyl alcohol, 2-propanol + 2-phenylethenol, and benzyl alcohol + 2-phenyl ethanol, were presented at temperatures of 298.15, 308.15, and 318.15 K and at atmospheric pressure in the concentration range 0.05-0.95, based on the experimental work of Ching-Ta and Chein. The mixing qualities and interactions of these liquids were explored using these data, which were estimated using several models (associated and unassociated). To get the binary coefficients and standard errors, the variances in the refractive index (nD) were analyzed and applied to the Redlich-Kister polynomial equation. A multi-body interaction model developed by McAllister was also used. The molecular interactions of these liquid-state models have been studied and correlated with the behavior of these liquids, which shows that the Lorentz-Lorenz relationship gives good results compared to other models.

 Abstract

Dark matter is one of the greatest unknowns and yet it is the most important gravitational factor in the universe. Indeed, dark matter is the most numerous matter and its mass influences the design of the cosmos. It has enabled the formation and maintenance of the galactic structures. Thus it is very difficult to understand the universe without knowing its properties. However it reacts only with Gravity and not with the others fundamental forces. It is not a weak reaction but a total absence of direct reaction with a full spin (even in our particle accelerators). Indeed, dark matter is not only invisible to us because it does not have a detectable electromagnetic field, but it also does not show any nuclear reaction whatsoever. Finally, it seems to be able to influence only large areas, which suggests that it is unable to concentrate too much. So the only thing we know about dark matter is not its properties, but its non-properties, in other words, what it does not do, that is, react with our own fundamental forces (except Gravity) in addition to covering only large areas (large gravitational lenses). So dark matter remains a great mystery. However, if the problem is posed differently, there is a way to solve it. The starting point is the pair creation with energies opposed to ours. Such energies create materials whose properties are similar to dark matter !

 Abstract

According to Vaillant's research, people may depend on various defense mechanisms at different stages of their lives, and using more developed defenses is linked to improved psychological health. People tend to stray from immature defenses and rely more on mature ones as they get older. It's crucial to remember that although defense mechanisms can aid people in managing stress, their overuse or strict application can result in maladaptive behaviours and mental health problems. The studies conducted by Vaillant advance our knowledge of how people deal with life's obstacles and preserve their psychological health as they mature.

This study aimed to unveil the experiences of Indigenous College Students in the Province of Tarlac. The paper includes their demographic profile, life experiences, identified existing programs of state universities and local and national government, measures to solve prevailing problems and the implication of the study for public administration. Through this study, the researcher sought to address and discern the IP college students at Tarlac State University (TSU) and Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU) sentiments from their life experiences. In addition, the researcher used qualitative case study and random sampling method. A total of thirty (30) respondents took part in this study from different cultural communities in the Province of Tarlac. Findings revealed that the respondents are part of Ayta Abellen/Abelling and Ayta Mag-Antsi and serve as IP Youth in their respective cultural communities, and they are the only hope of their family to finish tertiary education. All the respondents' parents did not pursue tertiary education claiming that they inherit it from their ancestors. In addition, financial problems are the main reason why IP students can not pursue tertiary education. The researcher found out that (1) financial constraint, (2) proximity of school and (3) degree related to the needs of their community are the major factors affecting their choice of degree. Despite the long-time clamor of discrimination, the students still experience hurtful bullying and disrespect from the society. There are six (6) identified hindrances in pursuit to tertiary education of the IP Students, specifically, (1) weak signal connectivity, (2) bullying and discrimination, (3) language barriers, (4) financial constraints, (5) social injustices: terrorist groups and (6) Covid-19 Pandemic. Furthermore, an action plan was proposed and created by the researcher and respondents to address the problems encountered by the IP Students. In summary, the study reveals the plight and the stories of the IP Students in the Province of Tarlac. They cry for the collaborative involvement of all stakeholders in an all-encompassing and culturally aware strategy to protect the provision of essential services, especially in the areas of education and government service delivery. Based on the life experiences and most pressing problems of the Indigenous students, the government can use this paper as basis of policy formulation to bring the services closer to the cultural communities to uplift and to produce a more inclusive, responsive, and responsible members of the indigenous peoples in pursuit to nation building.

 Abstract

The world does not see modern agriculture to be moving in the direction necessary to meet the problem of food security. The climate is changing, there is water scarcity, and our methods for producing food are no longer sustainable. Modern agriculture and allied technology were viewed from a completely new perspective that neglected the traditional indigenous agricultural and allied practices that were field-tested and developed by farmers. Traditional indigenous agriculture is a knowledge base and the result of farming practices being adapted to the local environment. Bio - Physical Constraints Occurrence of heavy weed growth, Heavy pest and disease incidence, Complexity of new practices, High cost of high-yielding variety seeds, Non-availability of suitable high-yielding varieties. And Technological constraints. Lack of conviction in the new technology. Lack of awareness about improved rice technologies. Lack of technology guidance from extension personnel. A sample size of three hundred was fixed for the study considering the limitations of time and other resources. From the list of farmers in the selected five villages, farmers who had practiced both agriculture and dairy practices were identified. A proportionate random sampling method was used to select the 300 respondents from the selected five villages. A salient findings of the study bio physical constraints occurrence of heavy weed growth, heavy pest and disease incidence, complexity of new practices, high cost of high-yielding variety seeds and non-availability of suitable high-yielding varieties. Technological constraints lack of conviction in the new technology, lack of awareness about improved rice technologies and lack of technology guidance from extension personnel.

 Abstract

In the present study, Powder formulation as an energy drink was developed by using ingredients which have proved for its nutritional potential. The key ingredients include millets, wheat, cashew, Almond, pista, oats, Pumpkin seed, Sunflower seed, almond gum, Flax seed, Walnut, Melon seed and Monk fruit which is used as a sweetening agent to mask the unpleasant taste. The powder formulation is mainly used to enhance the immunity in malnutrition deficiencies. Granules of energy drink powder was prepared using almond gum with varying concentration of 1 and 2% w/v. Evaluation studies of powder formulation was carried out such as Sensory studies, Moisture content, Sieve analysis and Nutritional content. The F1 formulation was found to be better compared to F2, F3 and F4 since dough was adhered to the mesh which may be due to the oil contents which are comparatively more. In F1 formulation, the granules are retained 95%more on the 44 Mesh size and in the range of 345-375mm. The energy drink powder contains more amount of nutrients which will in turn helps to boost the energy and reduce the hunger. Hence, Formulation delays feeling of hunger for up to four hours. Therefore, an attempt was made to prepare a powder formulation as an energy drink.

Globally climate change is occurring at an alarming rate, Ethiopia has been identified as one of the most vulnerable countries to this change. The impact of climate change is vary by gender. Hence, this study is investigate the impact of climate change on agricultural production, water resource, and assesses the perception of WHHs and determinants of climate change adaptation strategies applied by WHHs to reduce the impact of climate change. The study employed multi-stage random sampling procedure to select study area as well as sample respondents. Primary data have been collected from 168 women sample respondents using interview schedule, Focus Group Discussions, Key Informants Interviews, and observation methods. Descriptive statistics and multinomial logistic regression were used to analyze the quantitative data. While narration and triangulation techniques were used to analyze the qualitative data. The study result indicated that 90.5% of the respondents believed that temperature was increased and similarly 92.3% witnessed that rainfall decreased in their village. The multinomial logistic model result on climate change adaption strategies revealed that level of education, frequency of extension visit, farm size, distance to nearest road, TTLU, participation in any extension service trainings on climate change, and have informed/ perceived- about climate change were the key factors to influence women farmers to choose of adaption strategies significantly at p<10%. As climate change is the main problem, which is beyond the capacity of WHHs, it is quite pertinent to capacitate WHHs government and any developmental organization should play meaningful roles to create opportunities that helped them to engage in those activities that are less sensitive to climate change.

 Abstract

Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are a target of public health development due to their widespread prevalence, irritability, and reported variations worldwide. Clinical findings range from asymptomatic or mild to morbidity or death. Diagnosis must be made quickly to ensure patient satisfaction and take prompt action. Current methods for RTI studies in clinical trials rely on a variety of techniques, including traditional gold standard methods (of which ancient cultures are often used) and the refractive process (e.g., molecular approach), which is often used to understand diseases and disorders. Although this test needs to be used appropriately in different patients, the use of molecular methods from the syndromic process has the potential to be a powerful decision-maker in the management of the patient examination. They radically shorten the time to results and increase the detection of diseases associated with conventional medicine. Additionally, team collaboration, when applied with discretion and careful interpretation, can improve antibiotic use and patient outcomes and improve laboratory work performance. This review provides an overview of the main etiological, clinical and epidemiological aspects of RTI, focusing on clinical diagnosis and the potential of syndromic groups.
