 Abstract

NO3- and NH4+ are the common forms of nitrogen that all plants utilize for proper growth and development. Nitrogen significantly increases and enhances the yield and its quality by playing a vital role in biochemical and physiological functions of the plant. Both form and amount of nitrogen in nutrient medium have significant effects on the rate of cell growth and differentiation. Uniqueness of nitrogen lies in the fact that plants can use it either in anionic (NO3-) or in cationic form (NH4+). This paper examines the present knowledge of the main effects that different concentrations of nitrogen have on plant morphogenesis in vitro. During the present study, effect of different concentrations of nitrogen on in vitro morphogenesis of Petunia hybrida Hort. (Vilm) was evaluated. In the present study it was concluded that maximum callus production and root formation was observed in MS Basal Medium and the medium containing half concentration of nitrogen.

 Abstract

In all traditional water treatment plants, rapid sand filters are very popular. she big issue that is connected with it is stratification, which limits the full usage of used sand beds. The goal of this article is to design such a filter which is efficient, economical and rate of filtration is high. Filtration is the major process in the purification of water as it prevents the entry of suspended particles, microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, and protozoan cysts), and heavy metals like iron, manganese present water.

 Abstract

In a business ecosystem, consumers are the most vital elements. A business is not reviewed in isolation but is always considered in a combination with the consumers of its good and services. Given such high level of importance that a consumer has in a business network, it is a matter of great shame that their consumer rights are not protected due to non-availability of effective and stringent laws and the ineffectual redressal mechanisms, especially in e-commerce or online transactions. Though e-commerce has enabled the Indian consumer to cross boundaries of states and countries to procure products of their choice, this increased scope for purchase and sale transactions brought about by e-commerce is not well protected by the various Indian consumer laws. The laws with respect to the same have proved to be stagnant, leaving many of such customers remediless. Non protection of data made available online, ineffective delivery system, misleading advertisements, uncertainty with respect to jurisdiction in case of disputes, are some of the emerging concerns in the field of e-commerce. In the light of the above, this article would in brief, look through the lens on rights which a consumer has in case of online transactions, keeping in background the various Indian consumer laws available namely the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, the Information Technology Act, 2000, the Competition Act, 2000, the Indian Contract Act etc. Recommendations and measures for removal of such lacunae as present in the Indian consumer laws have also been covered under consumer protection act.

 Abstract

Rasashastra is a pharmaceutical branch of Ayurveda which mainly deals with the metals, minerals, animal origin products, toxic herbs and their use in therapeutics. There are specific criteria mentioned for identification in ancient texts about the selection of raw material to be taken for drug formulations. As the Identification (i.e. standardization) of raw material is the foundation of quality final product Here in this study, Abhrak was the drug selected for identification. Twelve samples were procured from various pharmacies and markets. These samples were assessed on the basis of organoleptic proforma and special tests. One Grahya and One Agrahya sample were further assessed with the help of physico-chemical and Instrumental analysis. The findings from ancient literature and modern analytical technique were found to be similar. The standardized sample was then further subjected to Shodhana in two different media i.e; Godugdh and Gomutra. Observational charts were maintained during the procedure. The results of the pharmaceutico-analytical techniques used (SEM-EDC) showed that the Godugdh Shodhit sample showed a 48.46 % reduction in Arsenic compared to the ashuddha abhrak, whereas the Gomutra Shodhit Abhrak showed a 31.90 % reduction in Arsenic as compared to the Ashuddha Abhrak sample. There was more reduction in percent weight of Aluminium, Silica, Iron and Potassium in Godugdh Shodhit Abhrak as compared to Gomutra Shodhit Abhrak. According to present study, it can be concluded that Godugdh may serve as more efficient media for Shodhana of Abhrak as compared to Gomutra.

These days the range of Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has spread over our health, comfort, daily life and furthermore in climate. This distribution outlines diverse VOCs, their sources and connection among VOCs and human health. The volatility organic compounds (VOCs) are available in huge sum in indoor air just as outside air. The level of about 0.2mg/m3 of unstable natural compound have no impact and about 3mg/m3 irritatingly affect us. So, we are going to contemplating the Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as a piece of our everyday life through the proof we've gathered.

 Abstract

This paper details the study of the degree of stress level among fresh graduate students (Session 2019-2020) because of COVID 19, and the differences in the perception of their stress level based on their gender. The paper also discusses the differences in the level of stress in graduates with varied employment-related status in terms of a job offer, enrollment in higher studies, self-employment, or others. Participants in the study were newly graduate students (Session 2019-2020) (60 females and 66 males) between the ages of 18-24. It was found that final year/graduating students are stressed because of Covid19 but there is no significant difference in perception of stress between male and female students i.e. both of them were found to be equally stressed during the study period. However, a significant difference is found in the level of stress based on the employment-related status of the student.
