 Abstract

security could be a major concern, particularly within the coal mining industry, where there are dangerous gasses such as suffocation, gas harming, and gas blasts. The framework centers on two major focuses: discussing quality checking and the discovery of unsafe occasions. The framework has an ESP32 module that persistently screens destructive gasses such as carbon monoxide (CO), methane (CH4), and condensed petroleum gas (LPG) and temperature varieties. Real-time information empowers the location of hurtful gas levels, empowering security activities and ventilation. In extraordinary temperature conditions, the framework incorporates a crisis caution that can jointly address the concern of laborers not wearing protective caps by counting a constrain switch to decide whether a mineworker has expelled their protective cap. Alarms are naturally sent to bosses to implement security conventions.

Web-based appointment systems are emerging in healthcare to provide patients with convenient and diverse services, among which physician referral is becoming an increasingly popular tool for assigning physicians to patients. Motivated by a popular physician referral application on a web-based appointment system in China, this paper presents pioneering work in modelling and solving the physician referral problem. The application brings personalized recommendations of medical assortments to patients with heterogeneous disease states, and subsequently patients choose one doctor to visit according to their preferences. In this project, we formulate the physician recommendation problem, based on which a preference learning algorithm is designed that optimizes recommendations while learning patient preferences. Since patients' disease states are heterogeneous, the goal of the algorithm is to create individual recommendations for each patient. In addition to demonstrating the efficiency of the algorithm's performance in terms of regret limitation, we also provide extensive numerical experiments that show the expected performance of the algorithm. We introduce the flexibility of adjusting the update interval of preference estimation into our algorithm and conclude that a short update interval contributes to short-term performance, while a long update interval leads to good long-term results. Next, we have to see how the preference binding helps the algorithm perform explorations, which represent the two main contributions of our algorithm.

 Abstract

This essay focuses on three works of modern fiction Rachel Joyce’s The Unexpected Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, Matthew Dick’s Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend, and Fredrik Backman’s A Man Called Ove. The study explores the relationship between absurdity and identity formation in contemporary fiction. This research explores how these books use themes of absurdity to illustrate the complexity of human identity creation through a close textual analysis. The research explores how the characters deal with ludicrous situations, face existential questions, and ultimately proceed on transforming journeys of self discovery by drawing on existentialist philosophy and narrative theory. This study illuminates the manner in which the characters struggle with societal expectations, face personal traumas, and create genuine identities by looking at how they interact with absurdity. This article explores the subtle ways in which each author uses absurdity as a narrative device to examine the universal search for meaning and belonging in a world that is frequently chaotic and illogical through a comparative examination. In the end, this research advances our knowledge of how literature both reflects and modifies our perceptions of identity in the face of absurdities in real life.

 Abstract

The protective or disease-preventive qualities of non-nutritive plant compounds are known as phytochemicals. Although it is commonly known that plants make these compounds to defend themselves, new studies have shown that they can also shield people from illness. The Lamiaceae family has about 7000 species spread over 236 genera. Because of its many components, it is one of the most popular and extensively researched families in terms of phytochemistry. Lamiaceae are classified into two primary groups. The first group comprises all species, such as Salvia sp., Ocimum sp., Plectranthus sp., Mentha sp., Thymus sp., and Rosmarinus sp., that primarily generate volatile terpenoids, which are found in volatile compounds. On the other hand, alkaloids (apigenin, hesperidin) and phenolic acids (rosmarinic, caffeic acids) from terpenes are furthermore found. The genus Ocimum is widely distributed in India, Africa, Central and Southern America, and Asia. Plants of the genus Ocimum are recognised for their therapeutic benefits. Because of its chemical makeup, it is believed to have anti-aging, immunomodulatory, antibacterial, and anticancer effects in addition to healing a variety of chronic ailments. Within the Lamiaceae family, Ocimum is a large genus that includes around 64 species of fragrant medicinal herbs that range from annual to perennial and have been used for a very long time. Plectranthus (Lamiaceae) is a plant that is abundantly available worldwide and has several well-liked medicinal uses. In this study, the antibacterial, antineoplastic, and immunomodulatory properties of two Plectranthus leaf extracts were assessed together with their phytochemical characterisation. Because it is not harmful to healthy human cells and demonstrates biological activity that are fungistatic, immunomodulatory, and bacteriostatic, plectranthus may find application in medicine. Among the Lamiaceae family, Plectranthus is one of the most representative genera. With a focus on the genera Plectranthus and Ocimum, this study aims to provide a thorough analysis by synthesising the findings from the literature on phytochemical elements of the Lamiaceae family.

 Abstract

Hair is a crucial aspect of identity, contributing to self-worth and confidence. It is a modified epithelial structure formed through keratinization of germinative cells, growing as outgrowths of skin follicles. Factors like infections, autoimmune disorders, chemicals, medications, diabetes, trauma, poor circulation, diet, and malnutrition can lead to hair loss. Symptoms include breakage, gradual loss, especially at the crown. Fenugreek, rich in vitamins and nutrients, nourishes hair follicles and boosts blood flow to the scalp, aiding hair growth and reducing hormonal imbalance-induced hair loss. Hemp, with cannabinoids like CBD, stimulates hair follicle cells and enhances effects of treatments like finasteride. Onion oil, high in sulphur, strengthens hair and prevents loss by promoting collagen production. These herbs have beneficial chemical qualities for hair growth and scalp health maintenance when combined into an oil.

 Abstract

Controlling bulk characteristics involves manipulating the network of intermolecular interaction during crystallization take the shape of an electrostatic hierarchy. The main regulator of crystal organization is strong hydrogen bonding. The molecular layers or columns are typically formed by the greatest intermolecular connections, and the slip plane by the weakest contacts. For instance, the hydrogen bond donors and acceptors that border the benzene ring cause the formation of lengthy chains or layers of acetaminophen molecules. Acetaminophen's weaker interchain or interlayer interactions took less energy to break than hydrogen bonds did. Consequently, a slip plane is created.

This paper explores the unique narrative techniques Girish Karnard used his play, Nagamandala. This play is based on two folk tales of Kannada. In order to cast the folktale and myth into a drama, Karnad has used the traditional techniques of folk theatre like the use of the magical elements, supernatural qualities of human and non-human, etc. The narrator of the Nagamandala is a "story" and it is told to a man. The flames in the play, typically depict the nature of Indian women who, gather at a place after the household chores and refresh themselves. The flames tell each other what has happened at their house, why they had to come either early or late to the temple, etc. Karnad has indirectly used sarcasm to explain that the woman does not hold back the truth and it is the nature of the woman in the Indian villages to gather around in the evening and discuss or gossip about each other. The socio-cultural practices of the society in the play are enriched by using both the myth and the folklore form. Karnad employs modern theatrical techniques to bring the mythical tale to life on stage.

 Abstract

Sedition laws have been prevalent in India since the time of British rule. The British used these laws to stop people from speaking out dissenting opinions that vary from their opinions and to keep control over India. They introduced Section 124A of the Indian Penal Code in 1870, which gave them wide ranging authority to silence anyone who spoke against colonial rule. Even after independence, these laws persisted, drawing criticism for their stifling effect on free speech and democratic discourse. While landmark cases like Kedarnath Singh upheld the constitutional validity of sedition laws, judicial interpretations have varied, leading to inconsistency and ambiguity in their application. This lack of clarity underscores the urgent need for a more coherent framework to interpret and apply sedition law in India, balancing national security that concerns the protection of fundamental freedoms. Recent cases like SG Vombatkere, where the court placed a stay on the sedition law, highlights the ongoing efforts to reassess and potentially reform these contentious laws on the subject of sedition. This paper will help in understanding the complexities of sedition laws and analysing the judicial interpretation of several case laws prior to and after the independence of India.

 Abstract

In this world every human being is connected with karma or action. No one can live without action. In the Gita Lord Krishna explained 'karma Yoga' when Arjun wanted to exit from the battlefield. The word 'Karma' means 'action' and 'yoga' means generally meditation or some breathing exercise. But in the Gita 'Yoga' means the skill of union. According to the Gita 'Karma Yoga' refers to all human duties or activities performing without any attachments. Karma Yoga is mainly based on Niskama Karma. Non-attachment action is Niskama Karma, which is done without egoistic attachment to the result thereof. Such Niskama Karma frees us from all bondage and helps us attain God. According to Gita every human being has rights only in action, not in results. So every human being should give up the desire for action's result. Immanuel Kant is a famous philosopher in Western ethics. The three main points of his ethics are- the notion of Goodwill, the notion of Duty for duty's sake and the notion of Categorical Imperative. According to Kant, a will that is good in its own quality without conditions is a good will. The act of good will is to act according to the dictates of conscience. Only goodwill is good. According to Kant, every man must be morally completed, not controlled by any motive. Man will act only according to the dictates of his conscience. Which implies duty for duty's sake in morality. A moral Law is a universal Law that everyone should obey. Such a Law is Categorical Imperative that everyone should obey without any condition. According to Kant, moral action is the doing of duty for duty's sake under the dictates of conscience motivated by Goodwill. In this paper, I have tried to make a comparative discussion between Karma Yoga of Gita and Kant's theory of ethics.
