Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a significant cause of vision impairment among individuals with diabetes. Early detection and timely intervention are crucial for preventing vision loss. This study presents a deep learning-based approach for the prediction of diabetic retinopathy using retinal images. We employed a convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture to extract meaningful features from a large dataset of retinal images. The dataset consisted of both normal and diabetic retinopathy-affected images, with gradings for the severity of DR. Our model achieved promising results in classifying retinal images into different stages of diabetic retinopathy, with high accuracy and sensitivity.

 Abstract

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1860) says that, "The first wealth is health". He suggests that good health is required for holistic Development. The significance of good health has huge impact on mental well-being. The National Education Policy (NEP), 2020 emphasizes on the need of psychological well-being of students. Mental Health and Well-being of School Students Survey, 2022 states that, education is not just for feeding information to the mind; but for holistic development as well. Mental well-being has a significant relation with the success of education. However, today's lifestyle has become stressful due to multiple reasons. Similarly, stress and depression is also seen among school going children. Nearly, 20% children and adolescents suffer from mental health concerns like stress, anxiety, bullying, and learning disability and/or alcohol, and substance abuse. Divyangjan face it more predominantly. The present paper tries to explore how the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) can be used in enhancing mental well-being of children with disability. The IKS comprising Ayurveda, Yoga, Vedanta, and Vedic sciences have shown ways in this regard. This also shows that IKS has tremendous potential to contribute in physical and mental well-being. Family and school are important social units that anchor the health and well-being an individual. Schools have the prime responsibility to promote and optimize the physical, social and mental health of students. This research paper aims to explore how IKS can be useful in helping students enjoy healthy and sound mental well-being.

 Abstract

This paper introduces a groundbreaking solar panel system equipped with a novel 180-degree sun-tracking feature and an integrated automatic cleaning mechanism. The sun tracking innovation employs a precise, responsive system that enables the solar panels to rotate 180 degrees, ensuring optimal alignment with the sun throughout the day. This maximizes the absorption of solar energy by maintaining perpendicular incidence, significantly improving the efficiency of solar energy capture compared to traditional fixed or limited-movement tracking systems. In addition, the system incorporates an innovative auto-cleaning mechanism that maintains the panels at peak operational condition by removing dust, debris, and other accumulative materials. The cleaning mechanism is designed to function with minimal water usage and without compromising the tracking functionality. Experimental results demonstrate a considerable increase in energy output and efficiency due to the combined effect of full-range tracking and sustained cleanliness of the panels. This research marks a substantial advancement in solar panel technology, offering a sustainable, high-efficiency solution for solar energy generation, and paving the way for more advanced applications in renewable energy systems.

Ayurveda as science of life has proved its potential both in preventive as well as curative aspect. Pandemics occupy part of Ayurveda literature as Janpadadhwansa - diseases having same manifestations influencing huge populace and at a time driving demise are called as Janpadadhwansa. Polluted states of Air, water, topographical area and time are referenced as fundamental explanations behind Janapadadhwansa. This section despite everything stays to be the fundamental establishment of disease transmission. Ayurveda has explained different shades of fever depending upon involvement of Dosha, Dushya, Kala and causative factors. This multifactorial aspect of Ayurveda encompasses maximum infective pathologies and helps understanding new and emerging fevers. Being an infectious disease and with the SARS-CoV-2 well identified as the causative agent, COVID-19 can be classified as an Agantuj disease. Not getting in contact with an infected person or contaminated surfaces is the best known and most effective way to prevent the disease. As pointed out earlier, Bhutabhishaga by Visha Krimi is a very nearest understanding of the Nidana or etiology of COVID-19 from the Ayurvedic viewpoint. Finer discussions are warranted before viruses can be classified under a specific category of extraneous causative agents described in the classical texts, which is not being attempted in this paper.

 Abstract

Literature freezes life through words. The word literature etymologically comes from the Latin word 'literature' or 'litteratura' which means 'writing formed with letters'. This paper is an attempt to explore the concept of misogyny where the women are made to feel inferior because she is a woman. Misogyny defines the inherent superiority of men over women. Even Sigmund Freud supports misogyny and created a controversy in one his papers entitled "Women oppose change, receive passively, and add nothing of their own". In all the novels of Shenoy there is a portrayal of male chauvinism and how women are deprived of their rights and freedom. This paper depicts the the enslavement, subjugation and the oppression faced by women and how they overcome the struggle or barriers imposed on women to gain success in their life.

 Abstract

Anemia may be brought on by a decrease in RBC synthesis, an increase in RBC oxidation, or blood loss. According to the RBC's size, haematologists classify anemia into macrocytic, normocytic, and microcytic subgroups. Iron can be found in the body in a number of places. A number of hematologic and biochemical indicators, including blood iron, total body iron (measured by ferritin), transport iron (measured by transferrin saturation), and others, are used to identify the severity of iron shortage. The initial phase of declining iron reservesisknown as iron depletion when there is a shortage of iron. This study were conductedintheurban areas of district Dehradun. The subjects were selected on the basis of females of Reproductive age group. The women of reproductive age (18 to 49 years) were selected by Stratified random sampling .Total number of 200 subjects willing to participate in thestudywere identified. The self-modified KAP questions on Iron Deficiency anemiawasinterrogated to all the 200 subjects based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria of thestudy. Among 200 women age wise distribution of women showed that the most of thewomenwere in the age group 18-28 years (27.5%) followed by 28-38 years (45%), 38-48years(32.5%). Out of 200 women, 65% had knowledge about anemia and 35%didn't knowtheterm of anemia. Only 47.5% had knowledge about the symptoms of anemia and52.5%didn't know about the symptoms of anemia. 41.5% knew about the causes of anemiaand58.5 % did't know about it. 27.5% knew about ways to prevent anemia and 72.5%didn'tknow about it. Only 5% knew about beverages that decrease iron absorption whentakenwith meals 95% didn't know about it. 4% knew about foods that hinder iron absorptionif taken during meals but 96% didn't know about it,11% were not likely about theself- awareness regarding anemia and 24% were not sure and 65% were likely about this. 16.5%were not serious regarding anemia and 42.5% were serious and 41% were not sure. 11.5%were not feel good to prepare meals with iron rich foods and 37 % were not sure and51.5%were good. 87% were not feel difficult to prepare meals with iron rich foods and8%wereso-so and 10 % were difficult. Only 1% were not feel confident in preparing meals withironrich foods and 4.5% were so-so and 97.5 % were confident. 63.5 % liked the tasteof ironrich foods but 3.5 % were not like the taste of iron rich foods, 56.5 %were consumed vegetarian food on previous day and 43.5% were consumed non-veg food. 74.5%wereknows about the iron rich foods and 25.5% did not. 26.5 % usually ate fresh citrus fruits but 73.5 % were not. 16.5 % ate fresh citrus fruits everyday and 83.5% were not. 5% consumed fresh citrus food before meal, 48.5%duringmeal and 46.5% after meal. Iron deficiency anemia, which affects females of reproductive age, isasevere health issue. Their knowledge, attitude, and behaviour toward these concerns mustbe improved, and educational intervention is an effective approach to do this.

An abnormal accumulation of body fat, usually 20-30% or more over an individual ideal body weight is known as Obesity. Obesity is given as Sthoulya or Medo Roga in Ayurveda. When a person's food intake is with high-fat food, fried items, fast food items etc., along with their lifestyle is sedentary leads to excess fat accumulation in the body which gets deposited in the numerous body channels. Appropriate Ayurvedic Shamana Chikitsa with Shodhan Chikitsa are used to reduce obesity that also with no side effects. Udavartana, Basti, Virechana, Vamana these Shodhana procedures gives effective results, according to Dosha vitiation. There is an important role in the management of Obesity by proper lifestyle modifications and PathyaApathya. Sthaulya (Obesity) is such a disease, which leads to so many hazards like hypertension, diabetes mellitus etc. as well as psychological disorders like stress. The mortality and morbidity rates are more in obese person. It is one of the most common and most neglected public health problems in the present world. In rich countries, obesity is more common among the less educated, but in poor countries, obesity is more common among the highly educated. In classics Sthoulya (Obesity) has been described under the Santarpanajanya Vikara and in Bahudoshavastha condition. Ayurvedic treatment aims not only at the radical removal of the causative factors of the disease, but also at the restoration of Doshika equilibrium. Key words: Obesity, Sthoulya, Lifestyle disorder

Migraine is one of the most common neurovascular disabling disorders encountered in Shalakya practice. Migraine can be defined as a paroxysmal affection having a sudden onset accompanied by usually unilateral severe headache. In Ayurveda, Migraine is described as Ardhaavabhedhaka which is a major health issue among people of age group 20 to 50 years. According to WHO, migraine is the third most common disease in the world with an estimated global prevalence of 14.7% (around 1 in 7 people).1 Chronic Migraine affects about 2% of world population2 with female and male ratio 3:1.3 The attack gives warning before it strikes black spots or a brilliant zigzag line appears before the eyes or the patient has blurring of vision or halos around the light, this type of headache is called headache with aura. It is also called as "sick headache" because nausea and vomiting occasionally accompany the excruciating pain which lasts for 4 to 5 hours. Ayurveda believes in treating the disease at its root cause from within. The present article is a case report of 27 years old male who visited OPD 2 at SSAM college of Ayurveda and Hospital, Hadapsar, Pune with a known case of migraine since 6 years. The patient was treated with Ayurvedic managements: both sodhana and shamana chikitsa, under IPD and then OPD basis for 2 months. The patient experienced no attack of migraine even within 2 months of interval. This helps to achieve complete curative and prophylactic management of migraine through Ayurveda. This article may aid a new treatment option among practitioners of new era where there is no permanent cure for migraine

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common adult motor neuron disease and it is characterized by selective death of upper and lower motor neurons causing muscle atrophy, weakness and spasticity. The present report deals with a case of ALS diagnosed as Kapha Avrita Praana, Udaana and Vyaana Vata according to Ayurveda. Efficacy of treatment was calculated by using Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale - Revised (ALSFRS-R). Before treatment, total score of ALSFRS-R was 17 and at the time of discharge the score was 29. A 66 years old male patient was presented to our hospital with history of muscle weakness in bilateral upper and lower limbs associated with slurred speech, imbalance in walking, heaviness especially in both lower limbs for the past 7 months The condition rapidly progressed in the 2 months prior and found difficulty in climbing stairs and swelling in the left foot. Gradually he developed slowness of speech hence consulted allopathic hospital and treated with glutamate blockers, muscle relaxant and physiotherapy. His response to allopathic medications found to be slow. Various panchakarma procedures like Udwartana, Sarvanga Abhyanga, Bashpa Sweda, Shashtika Shali Pinda Sweda and Vasti were implemented.

संसार में जीव और अजीव ये दो मुख्य तत्त्व होते हैं। जब इनमें सम्पर्क होता है तो एक ऐसी शक्ति का निर्माण होता है जिसके कारण जीव की नाना प्रकार की दशाओं का अनुभव होता है। जैन दर्शन के सात तत्त्व है जीव, अजीव, आश्रय, बंध, संवर, निर्जरा और मोक्ष। इनमें जीव और अजीव इन दोनों तत्वों को 'द्रव्य' कहते हैं। द्रव्य वह है जो अपने गुणों और परिवर्तनों में और उनके रहते हुए भी अपनी स्थिरता को नहीं खोता। जैन मत में प्रत्येक अवस्था के दो स्वरूप होते हैं 'भाव' और 'द्रव्य'। अव्यक्त की दशा को 'भाव' कहते है और व्यक्त की अवस्था में उसे 'द्रव्य' कहते हैं। जीव चेतन है और अजीव अचेतन है' एक आत्मा है और दूसरा अनात्मा। दूसरे में पुद्गल के अलावा देश और काल भी आ जाते हैं।
