Atisara is a disease of intestinal disturbances; involves water & electrolyte imbalances, malnutrition. It not only affects health of children but is also considered responsible for infant mortality. Atisara explained in Ayurveda can be correlated to diarrhea, where Ati means excess & Saranam means flow; condition where watery stools passed in excess with high speed. The Balatisara affects large number of population worldwide and prevalence of diarrhea now a day's deteriorating school performance of many children. It is a cause of concern for the parents as the as the child will have sunken eyes, flabby skin and look severely ill and weak, even if diarrhea occur day or two. The parents would want the Doctor immediately to stop it with in short duration as there may leads to severe complication in children, if not treated in some tribal places of India parents are unaware of this Atisara disease and its treatment and their negligence result in severe dehydration which finally result in death of child, resulting in so many death due to Balatisara. Thus, in present study Balatisara is taken as the subject of intervention with the drug 'Nagaradi Granules' mentioned in Yog Ratnakara under Balrogadhikara. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This prospective, open-label, randomized clinical trial will be conducted at, Rishikul Campus, Haridwar of Uttarakhand Ayurved University. A total of 50 children of aged 5-15 years irrespective of gender with classical symptoms of Balatisara will be enrolled in the study. The outcome will be assessed according to the subjective and objective parameters established respectively for the study on each visit. Safety will be assessed based on the incidence of adverse events. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Atisara is the disease of GIT and it has aaharaj and viharaja Nidana and its samprapti involves vitiation of vata dosha and apa dhatu along with agnimandya and mala dravata. It occurs mainly due to unhygienic conditions that's why it is found more in children of low socio-economic status. As its samprapti involves agnimandya and mala dravata and the Ayurvedic formulation chosen for this study, "Nagaradi granules" usually have deepana, pachana and grahi property. So, it is expected that the outcomes of this trial will suggest probable therapeutic options for the effective management of Balatisara of children.

A country can progress through education. However, in regions of the world where slum areas exist, the advancement of education is relatively limited. The word slum refers to the informal settlements in which the condition of houses is bad, and living conditions are very poor. Bankura Municipality Corporation has 295 slum areas, which are home to 46341 people. This represents around 33.73% of the overall population of BMC (Bankura Municipality Corporation). The slum dwellers in BMC are mainly deprived of better educational and basic educational amenities, i.e., safe drinking water, a library, computer aided learning, toilets, electricity, etc., the lowest percentage of literacy rate in ward number 19. Moreover, the number of wardwise schools is not sufficient . In some wards, the number of schools is much lower than the population. Basic amenities are lacking in various schools. Due to this, various difficulties are seen among the students. All those difficulties can be removed through various government schemes. Along with this, if various types of awareness campaigns are conducted in the slum areas, the population will be aware of education, and the literacy rate will increase in the future.

SecureStealth stands out as a powerful solution for hiding sensitive data within images and audio files. It achieves this through a multifaceted approach that blends encryption and steganography, ensuring data confidentiality during digital transmission and storage. To optimize efficiency and make the hidden information less detectable, SecureStealth first employs zlib compression to reduce data size. Subsequently, AES-256 encryption, a robust algorithm, safeguards the compressed data. To guarantee only authorized access, a session key is generated and encrypted using RSA public key cryptography. This two-step encryption strengthens security as the private key for decryption remains confidential. Following encryption, SecureStealth utilizes steganography to embed the encrypted data, encrypted session key, and other crucial information within the chosen image or audio file. It leverages a technique called least significant bit (LSB) modification, strategically altering a predetermined number of least significant bits within the cover media to store the hidden data. To further impede detection by steganalysis tools, SecureStealth incorporates a seeded random number generator. This ensures the hidden bits are dispersed throughout the image or audio file, preventing the formation of easily identifiable patterns. Notably, SecureStealth's steganographic capabilities extend to audio files, offering a versatile solution for covert data embedding across various digital mediums. Developed using Python, SecureStealth boasts cross-platform compatibility, making it accessible on a wide range of operating systems. This combination of robust encryption, steganography techniques, and a user-friendly interface positions SecureStealth as a valuable tool for users seeking to conceal sensitive data within image and audio files.

Plagiarism in academic research is one such topic that is discussed far more now compared to earlier. The research has suffered greatly because of the assessment of the web's current status and users' capacity to perform fast, complex searches. Plagiarism detection tools focus on text and overlook graphics. Nevertheless, images are crucial for conveying large amounts of data, like those seen in papers or scientific research. Flowcharts include large amounts of data, so it's probable that because of their extensive picture library, especially when it comes to computer texts, they contain a significant amount of plagiarism. The purpose of this article is to examine the degree of plagiarism in a manuscript using artificial neural network-based flowchart images. The suggested method's average flowchart picture identification accuracy of 81.91 percent in terms of structure, nodes, and edges proved how effective it was.

This paper provides a comparative analysis of two prominent retellings of the Indian epic Mahabharata: "Jaya: An Illustrated Retelling of the Mahabharata" by Devdutt Pattanaik and "Palace of Illusions" by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni. The analysis examines the authors' distinct writing styles, thematic emphases, character portrayals, and interpretations of the Mahabharata narrative. While Pattanaik takes an analytical approach, exploring the philosophical depths of the epic, Divakaruni offers a more personal and emotive perspective, focusing on character-driven storytelling, particularly through the eyes of Draupadi. The paper delves into how these differing approaches contribute to nuanced understandings of the Mahabharata, addressing themes such as gender dynamics, societal constructs, and the complexities of human nature.
