 Abstract

Doping of materials attracted a greater attention as it affects the characteristics of the prestine counter parts. In the present work praseodymium and nickel co-doped zinc sulfide nanoparticles were prepared by a low-cost chemical co-precipitation method at room temperature. Impact of Pr and Ni dopants concentration on structural, morphological, compositional and photoluminescence properties of ZnS were studied. Cubic zincblende structure of Pr, Ni co-doped ZnS nanoparticles was revealed by the broadened X-ray diffraction (XRD) peaks. The surface morphology and composition of Pr, Ni co-doped ZnS nanoparticles were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX). The photoluminescence intensity of the co-doped nano samples enhanced effectively by the integration of Ni and Pr ions into the ZnS host lattice.

From time immemorial it is always been the women that are victimized-be it, sexual, domestic, economic...but of late it has been the other way round. In the modern and globalized world men are also victimized sometimes by the women. This paper focuses on different kinds of men in Manju Kapur's select novels - A Married Women (2003) and Custody (2011). Manju Kapur known as the Jane Austen of India, wrote seven novels till date. In her novel, A Married Women and Custody, we have in all ten men characters. My focus is on these men in these two novels of Manju Kapur. In A Married Women, we come across meek, confident and supportive men characters. In Custody, we have charismatic, domineering, submissive, exploitative and loyal men characters. So, the paper centers round the men, which might make the study interesting.

 Abstract

The Naxalbari uprising was an event of great significance not only in the history of the agrarian movements but also in the subsequent movements also. After this movement the name 'Naxalbari' became a well-known place in the political atlas in India and abroad. This article is an attempt to look behind on the challenges of peasant mobilization in Naxalbari days in the light of recent available documents after fifty years. Therefore, in this study we try to focus on the causes and the Political unrest so that it can be conveyed to the isolated mass in a substantiated and simple way. This paper also focuses on the the participation of women and their strategies. It also speaks about the State police response and consequences of the movement. It furthermore emphasizes of understanding the reason of its present domain and to tackle the problem faced by the Naxalites. The armed struggle became an inspiration to the Naxalite movement which rapidly spread from West Bengal to other states of India creating division within the CPI(M) - India's primary communist party. Hoping forward for interesting reading by the readers.

 Abstract

The end of the year 2019 was marked by the introduction of a third highly pathogenic coronavirus, after SARS-CoV (2003) and MERS-CoV (2012), in the human population which was officially declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020. The pandemic COVID-19 not only created havoc on the environment including the quality of water, air, waste management, and energy consumption, it impacted human psychology, the educational system, and the global economy to a great extent. India was no exception to this pathetic condition. The worst sufferers were the children who still needed to be taken care of, even after 4 years, as the consequences which they must go through due to being orphaned were more than inhumane. Despite the several measures taken by the government at central, state, and local level, the sufferings are still prevalent which indicates that a concrete inclusive development of the orphaned children through some concrete solutions is still awaited.

This paper intends to highlight how the themes and the female characters are treated in the post 50s drama. And for this purpose I have selected two well known plays - The Birthday Party and The Room written by one of the most influential post 50s writers i.e. Harold Pinter. The drama The Room was written in 1957 and in the same year he published his masterpiece The Birthday Party. Harold Pinter began to write after experiencing the huge loss of life and property caused by the two destructive World Wars. These World Wars have such huge impact on lives that it seems as if the people were living meaninglessly. Their existence in the world is meaningless. In such a circumstance no one can expect a comedy of the Elizabethan Age or the Restoration Age where the basic purpose of comedy was to create laughter to the audience. But when the situation is changed, the theme as well as the purpose of it also has to be changed. And therefore Harold Pinter has introduced new themes to uphold the condition of the post 50s people.

 Abstract

To get rid of certain drawbacks of traditional formulations, considerable attention has been paid to lipid-based drug delivery systems in recent years. Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and nano-structured lipid carriers (NLCs) are promising delivery systems among these because of their ease of manufacturing processes, ability to scale up, biocompatibility, and biodegradability of formulation constituents, as well as a number of additional benefits that may be related to a particular route of administration or the nature of the materials that are to be loaded onto these delivery systems. The use of many Nano-structured technologies for ocular medication delivery has shown some encouraging outcomes. During the 1990s, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) have been investigated as possible drug delivery systems. Due to the fact that SLNs are made from physiological lipids, they do not exhibit bio toxicity. Since they may increase drug absorption via the cornea and increase the bioavailability of both hydrophilic and lipophilic medicines in the eye, SLNs are particularly helpful in the delivery of drugs to the eye. Another advantages of SLNs is that they allow autoclave sterilization, which is required before creating ocular preparations. This review outlines anatomy and physiology of eye, challenges in ocular drug deliver, brief overview about SLN with their application in common ocular diseases, future perspective of ocular drug delivery.

 Abstract

Under the vast Indian sky, where the rhythm of seasons dictates the farmer's dance with the land, a new melody is emerging. It's a symphony of interconnected sensors, automated systems, and data-driven insights, orchestrated by the Internet of Things (IoT). This transformative technology promises to uplift the moderate conditions of millions of farmers, addressing the age-old challenges that have long plagued Indian agriculture. Imagine fields where soil sensors whisper secrets of nutrient deficiencies, their data relayed to smartphones, empowering farmers to make precise fertilizer decisions. Envision water stress woes fading away as smart irrigation systems, guided by real-time weather data, deliver life-giving drops directly to thirsty roots, optimizing water usage and maximizing yields. Picture crops flourishing under the watchful eye of IoT-powered drones, their high-resolution images revealing pest infestations or diseases before they can wreak havoc. This is not a futuristic fantasy, but the very real potential that diverse IoT gadgets hold for Indian agriculture. These marvels of technology go beyond mere data collection. They are instruments of empowerment, equipping farmers with knowledge that was once out of reach. Real-time weather updates gleaned from connected weather stations help farmers prepare for impending storms or adjust sowing schedules based on changing precipitation patterns. Market price information streamed directly to their mobile devices allows them to navigate the complexities of fluctuating demand and secure better returns for their produce. The symphony extends beyond individual farms, connecting farmers to experts and agricultural communities through online platforms, fostering knowledge sharing and collaborative problem-solving. However, the adoption of this transformative technology is not without its challenges. Limited access to the internet, particularly in remote rural areas, can act as a roadblock. The initial cost of some gadgets might pose a hurdle for resource-constrained farmers. Overcoming these challenges requires a multi-pronged approach. Government initiatives like subsidizing IoT devices and establishing digital infrastructure in rural areas can play a crucial role. Collaborations between private companies, NGOs, and research institutions can develop affordable and accessible solutions tailored to the specific needs of Indian farmers. Educational programs can bridge the digital divide, empowering farmers to utilize these technologies effectively. The potential rewards, however, far outweigh the challenges. By embracing the diverse symphony of IoT gadgets, Indian agriculture can be catapulted into a new era of sustainability and prosperity. Imagine fields bursting with healthy crops, farmers armed with knowledge and empowered to make informed decisions, and a vibrant rural economy humming with renewed life. This is the future that awaits, a future where technology becomes not just a tool, but a bridge to a better tomorrow for millions of Indian farmers. The stage is set, the instruments are tuned, and the conductor's baton awaits.

Nucleic acid vaccines, in particular messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines, show notable benefits in the current COVID-19 pandemic. The nucleic acid vaccine's potential as a preventative and therapeutic measure has been greatly increased by the use of polymeric materials as delivery vehicles. Improved in vivo stability, enhanced biosafety, selective cellular absorption, endolysosomal escape, and promoted antigen expression are among the features of polymeric nucleic acid vaccines. Nevertheless, polymeric the hurdles facing polymer-gene vaccination systems are still too great, despite significant advancements in the past few decades in the delivery of nucleic acid vaccines and clinical translation. An overview of different polymers and their properties, as well as sample formulations, are given in this review for the delivery of vaccines containing nucleic acids. It also explores the issues that are currently being faced in this field, how to solve them, and the potential uses of polymeric carriers and nucleic acid vaccines. This review's main objective is to protect against serious or emerging diseases by rationally designing and developing polymeric vaccine delivery systems. This review also includes information about recently developed novel delivery platforms and new vaccine vectors.

ABSTRACT: Kidney stones are common in all kinds of urolithiasis. The study focuses on Polyherbal extracts containing Boerhavia diffusa and Celosia argentea and Plumeria rubra seed pod was prepared and evaluated for antilithiatic byin vivo method. The traditional system of medicine includes the use of many herbal medicines for the treatment of kidney stone due to the presence of Flavonoids, triterpenoids, glycosides, and other chemicals having different mode of action. This study was conducted on Ethylene glycol-induced rats to examine the antilithiatic potential of selected herbs. Objective: To examine the Antilithiatic activity of Polyherbal extract on urine and serum parameters in Ethylene Glycol induced urolithiasis in male Wistar rats. Method: In this study Wistar rats were kept in metabolic cage separately from the day of starting the experiment until entire duration of 28 days of experiment, having six rats in each group. Urolithiasis was generated by administering ethylene glycol (0.75% v/v) in drinking water orally. Cystone 750mg/Kg is used as a standard for comparing the activity of plant extracts. Polyherbal extracts were used in two concentrations i.e. 200 and 400mg/Kg for 28 days. Results: It was found from urine analysis that, in disease control animals' calcium, phosphorus and oxalate excretion were significantly increased, while the magnesium level decreased when compared with Normal group animals. Also from serum analysis it was found that the treatment of rats with Extract 1 and 2 (200 and 400 mg/kg, p.o.) and Cystone (750 mg/kg, p.o.) exhibited significant (p<0.05; p<0.01; p<0.001) increment in Serum Calcium, Serum Phosphorus, Serum BUN, Serum Creatinine and increment in Serum Uric acid when compared with DC rats. Thus polyherbal extract of 400mg/Kg of all three plants was found to be effective for treating Kidney stones.
