Introduction: Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a chronic inflammatory condition of the synovium and surrounding soft tissues characterized by pain, stiffness, and restricted movement of the glenohumeral joint. The condition is associated with fibrosis due to increased collagen production, fibroplasia, and myofibroblast activity. Frozen shoulder affects approximately 2-5% of the general population. Scapular stabilizing muscles play a crucial role in maintaining proper scapular alignment and shoulder function in patients with frozen shoulder. Aim of the Study: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of scapular stabilizer exercises in improving shoulder range of motion (ROM), reducing disability, and decreasing scapular winging in patients with frozen shoulder. Materials and Methods: Eighty participants were allocated into two groups at random: experimental (n = 40) and control (n = 40) groups. Prior to the study, informed consent were obtained. While the control group only received conventional physiotherapy, the experimental group was also given scapular stabilizer exercises. For six weeks, 45-minute interventions were administered three times a week. Shoulder range of motion, pain, disability, and scapular winging were among the outcome measures. Descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, and paired t-tests were used to examine the data. Results: The results demonstrated that scapular stabilizer exercises combined with conventional physiotherapy produced significant improvements in shoulder ROM (P < 0.05), reduced pain and disability, and decreased scapular winging after six weeks of intervention in both groups, with greater improvement observed in the experimental group. Conclusion: In patients with frozen shoulder, scapular stabilizer exercises along with conventional physiotherapy significantly enhance range of motion and lessen pain, disability, and scapular winging.

 Abstract

Using a Hindu eco-spiritual framework, this paper analyses Amitav Ghosh's Gun Island to investigate how traditional cosmological ideas shed light on current environmental issues. Ghosh describes the disruption of sacred human-nature ties in both colonial and postcolonial contexts, building on the legends of Bonduki Sadagar and Manasa Devi. This study examines how the novel depicts environmental deterioration, human moral failing, and ecological mutual dependence using a threefold conceptual lens of karma, dharma, and ecology derived from Hindu philosophy. Karma, the rule of cause and effect, is used to illustrate how human exploitation results in ecological collapse, climate migration, and natural calamities. Dharma is a concept that promotes responsibility for the environment and human-nonhuman cooperation. In order to speak out against the environmental degradation of capitalist modernity, this dissertation contends that Ghosh skilfully combines Hindu metaphysics with modern ecological science. The novel's portrayal of floods, Venice's collapse, and the worldwide refugee crisis dramatizes karmic repercussions, and its connection to the merging of myth and science presents a vision of holy interdependence. In the end, this essay comes to the conclusion that Gun Island offers an urgent eco-spiritual model for rethinking planetary ethics and reacting to the Anthropocene via spiritual duty, humility, and relationships.

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: Food is an important part of a balanced diet. It is something everyone needs every day. Life can be sustained only with adequate nourishment. Man needs food for growth, development and to lead an active and healthy life. Food is a substance, usually composed of carbohydrates, fats, proteins and water that can be eaten or drunk by an animal or human for nutrition or pleasure. Healthy nutritious foods have been replaced by the new food mantra - JUNK FOOD or fast food! Junk food is the term given to food that is high in calories but low in nutritional content. In the context of world economy, junk food is a global phenomenon. MATERIAL & METHOD: A descriptive study was conducted. The conceptual framework adopted for the study is based on Health Belief Model (Rosenstock,1999). The study population consisted of 80 adolescents from rural and urban area schools, Hisar. Convenient sampling was used to select study participant. The tool developed and used for data collection was demographic variable and structured knowledge questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statics was used to analyze the data. APPROACH: A research approach tells the researcher as to what data to be collect and how to analyses them. It also suggests possible conclusion to be drawn from the data. Research approaches refer to the overall plan for obtaining answers to the research questions and for testing the assumption. (Polit D.F. and back, C.T.,1995) The approach tells the basic procedure for the conduct of research inquiry. In the present study. The investigator selected Quantitative approach was taken as it is appropriate whenever the research question tests the knowledge of the people. The present study aim is to "A comparative study to assess the knowledge regarding junk food consumption among adolescents between urban and rural area in selected schools of district Hisar, Haryana." RESULT: The study concluded that the mean score on level of knowledge regarding junk food consumption among adolescents in urban area was 14.5 with SD 6.36, whereas in rural areas the mean score on level of knowledge regarding junk food consumption among adolescents in was 11.275 with SD 6.36. The mean difference of urban and rural area knowledge score was 3.225. The value of unpaired test was 0.0165. which was significant at p-value 0.05. Which means there was difference in level of knowledge regarding junk food consumption among adolescents in urban and rural areas. Hence the hypothesis H2 was accepted. CONCLUSION: The chapter deals with the conclusion, implication, recommendation and limitation of the study, comparative study to assess the knowledge regarding junk food consumption among adolescents between urban and rural areas in selected schools of district Hisar, Haryana.

 Abstract

Conventional traffic surveillance infrastructure, predominantly comprising static closed-circuit camera networks, is inherently constrained by fixed spatial coverage, blind spots, and dependence on manual observation for enforcement action. This paper is proposed an Autonomous UAV Traffic Enforcement System (AUTES), a hardware-validated, closed-loop aerial surveillance platform that bridges the gap between passive video monitoring and active autonomous enforcement response. This system integrates a dual-stage YOLOv8 inference pipeline employing a Common Objects in Context (COCO)-pretrained YOLOv8n model for scene-level person and vehicle detection, followed by a custom-trained binary helmet classification model with an autonomous quadrotor flight controller built on a modified E88 Pro drone platform driven by an ESP32 microcontroller running ESPFC firmware. A composite violation priority scoring mechanism ranks simultaneously detected violations. Detected violation coordinates are translated into real-time Radio Control (RC) flight commands. In the absence of detected violations, the drone autonomously executes a bidirectional yaw-sweep patrol pattern to maximize surveillance coverage without GPS dependency. The custom helmet detection model, trained on a Roboflow dataset for 100 epochs using YOLOv8l as the base architecture, achieved a precision of 74.2%, recall of 63.7%, mAP@0.5 of 0.748, and mAP@0.5:0.95 of 0.450 on the test set. The end-to-end command latency from vision inference to motor actuation is maintained below 25 ms under standard operating conditions. AUTES demonstrates that a lightweight, edge-driven perception-to-control pipeline operating entirely over standard Internet of Things (IoT) communication protocols can deliver autonomous, adaptive traffic enforcement behaviour on a cost-effective embedded UAV platform, establishing a scalable foundation for multi-class violation detection in smart city surveillance deployments

 Abstract

Personalized medicine represents a paradigm shift in healthcare, aiming to tailor medical treatments to the unique genetic, physiological, and environmental characteristics of each patient. Traditional treatment protocols often rely on population averages, which may not effectively address individual variability in disease progression and treatment response. Reinforcement Learning (RL), a branch of artificial intelligence that focuses on sequential decision-making through interaction with an environment, has emerged as a promising approach to optimize individualized treatment strategies. RL algorithms learn optimal policies by continuously evaluating the outcomes of previous decisions and adjusting strategies to maximize long-term rewards. In healthcare, this reward can represent improved patient outcomes, reduced adverse effects, or cost-effective treatment plans. Recent research demonstrates RL's capability to design adaptive treatment regimens for complex diseases such as cancer, diabetes, sepsis, and psychiatric disorders. These systems integrate data from electronic health records, wearable devices, and genomic databases to generate personalized recommendations. Despite its potential, challenges remain in areas such as data quality, model interpretability, safety, ethical considerations, and clinical adoption. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of reinforcement learning in personalized medicine, discussing its theoretical foundations, methodologies, real-world applications, advantages, limitations, and future research directions. The study highlights how RL can transform healthcare from reactive treatment models to proactive and adaptive care systems.

 Abstract

Drug-induced toxicity has emerged as a major global health concern, contributing significantly to morbidity, mortality, hospital admissions, and adverse drug reactions (ADRs). The widespread and prolonged use of commonly prescribed medications such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antibiotics, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), H2 receptor blockers, paracetamol, and various cardiovascular drugs has been associated with serious toxic effects on vital organs. Hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and gastrointestinal complications are among the most frequently reported adverse outcomes. Contemporary pharmacovigilance systems play a crucial role in identifying, assessing, and preventing such drug-related toxicities, thereby ensuring patient safety. Ayurveda, particularly through the principles of Agadtantra (Ayurvedic Toxicology), provides a comprehensive understanding of drug toxicity, its prevention, and management. Classical Ayurvedic literature emphasizes the rational use of medicines and warns against the consequences of improper administration, overdose, incompatibility, and prolonged use. Concepts such as Dushi Visha, Gara Visha, and Viruddha Ahara can be correlated with cumulative toxicity, adverse drug reactions, and chronic toxic exposures described in modern medicine. Furthermore, Ayurveda offers several detoxification and protective strategies, including Panchakarma procedures and the use of Vishaghna, Rasayana, and organ-protective herbs such as Bhumi Amalaki, Brahmi, Gokshura, and Punarnava. This review critically examines drug-induced toxicity and safety concerns from both Ayurvedic and contemporary perspectives. It explores the toxicological profile of Ayurvedic and modern drugs, including hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and genotoxicity, while highlighting the importance of standardization, quality control, and pharmacovigilance. By integrating classical Ayurvedic wisdom with modern toxicological principles, a holistic framework for the prevention, assessment, and management of drug-induced toxicity can be established, thereby enhancing therapeutic safety and improving patient outcomes.

The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 introduced a paradigm shift in India's juvenile justice system by permitting 16-18-year-olds accused of heinous offences to be tried as adults under Section 15. This study examines whether the Act has reduced juvenile recidivism or inadvertently increased criminalization of adolescence. Using a mixed-methods approach, the paper analyzes National Crime Records Bureau data 2022-2024, Supreme Court jurisprudence, and 18 semi-structured interviews with Juvenile Justice Board members. Findings indicate that while Section 15 has been used sparingly, recidivism among juveniles remains at 45%, significantly higher than Norway's 20%. The study identifies three implementation gaps: absence of neuropsychological assessment, lack of digital rehabilitation for cyber offences, and weak aftercare under Section 19. Drawing on comparative insights from Germany and the UK, the paper argues for mandatory maturity testing, District Youth Offending Units, and a Digital Delinquency Protocol. It concludes that the 2015 Act's structure is sound but requires infrastructural and procedural modernization to meet its rehabilitative goals.

This study aims to examine the development of scientific literature concerning investor response to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure through a bibliometric approach. The study utilizes bibliometric analysis to identify publication trends, dominant themes, influential studies, and future research directions related to ESG disclosure and investor behavior in capital markets. Bibliographic data were collected from the Scopus database through the Publish or Perish application using the keywords "ESG disclosure," "investor response," "CSR disclosure," and "stock market" within the publication period of 2005-2026. The retrieved data were analyzed using VOSviewer software through publication trend analysis, citation analysis, keyword co-occurrence mapping, and overlay visualization. The findings indicate that research concerning investor response to CSR and ESG disclosure has experienced significant growth over the last two decades, particularly after 2015. The keyword mapping analysis reveals that "disclosure" and "ESG disclosure" represent the central themes within the literature network and are strongly associated with concepts such as "market reaction," "governance," "CSR," "capital," and "cost." The overlay visualization further demonstrates a shift in research focus from traditional CSR and governance discussions toward more recent themes such as mandatory ESG disclosure, investor response, and cost of capital. Citation analysis also reveals that influential studies primarily focus on sustainability disclosure determinants, governance mechanisms, firm value, and financial market consequences. This study contributes to the literature by providing a comprehensive overview of the intellectual structure and thematic evolution of research concerning investor response to CSR and ESG disclosure. The findings are expected to serve as references for researchers, regulators, investors, and policymakers in understanding the growing strategic importance of ESG disclosure within global capital markets.

ABSTRACT Introduction Breastfeeding is the ideal method for fulfilling the nutritional, physiological and psychological needs of infants. Correct breastfeeding technique plays an important role in ensuring adequate nutrition, preventing breast complications and promoting healthy growth and development of newborns. Many primigravida mothers have inadequate knowledge regarding proper positioning, attachment, latching and other essential breastfeeding techniques. Educational strategies such as video assisted teaching can improve maternal knowledge and promote effective breastfeeding practices. Objectives 1. To assess the pre-test knowledge of primi antenatal mothers regarding correct breastfeeding technique. 2. To evaluate the effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme on knowledge regarding correct breastfeeding technique among primi antenatal mothers. 3. To determine the association between knowledge scores and selected demographic variables. Materials and Methods A quantitative evaluative research approach with one group pre-test post-test experimental design was adopted. The study was conducted among 60 primi antenatal mothers admitted in selected hospitals of Indore city. Samples were selected using non-probability convenient sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured knowledge questionnaire before and after administration of the video assisted teaching programme. The collected data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results The study findings revealed that in the pre-test, majority of mothers 36 (60%) had poor knowledge, 22 (36.7%) had average knowledge and only 2 (3.3%) had good knowledge regarding breastfeeding techniques. After video assisted teaching, 30 (50%) mothers achieved good knowledge and 25 (41.7%) obtained excellent knowledge scores. The mean pre-test knowledge score was 4.75 with SD 2.61, whereas the mean post-test score increased to 12.62. The calculated paired 't' value was 28.97 at df=59, which was statistically significant at p<0.0001 level. The findings indicate that video assisted teaching was highly effective in improving knowledge regarding correct breastfeeding techniques among primi antenatal mothers. Conclusion The study concluded that video assisted teaching programme was an effective educational intervention for improving knowledge among primi antenatal mothers regarding correct breastfeeding techniques. Providing structured education during antenatal period can enhance breastfeeding practices and prevent common breastfeeding-related problems.

 Abstract

Ayurveda, the ancient science of life, is founded upon fundamental concepts such as Dosha, Dhatu, Mala, Agni, and Ama, which collectively govern health and disease. Among these, Ama occupies a central role in the pathogenesis of numerous disorders and is considered one of the primary causative factors of disease. Ama is formed as a consequence of Agnimandya (impaired digestive and metabolic fire), resulting in the accumulation of incompletely digested or improperly metabolized substances within the body. Classical Ayurvedic texts describe Ama as Apakva Ahara Rasa (undigested or immature nutritive essence), which possesses toxic properties and disrupts the normal functioning of Doshas, Dhatus, Malas, and Srotas. The formation of Ama may occur at different levels of metabolism, including Jatharagni, Bhutagni, and Dhatvagni. Depending on its site of origin and accumulation, Ama can lead to various pathological conditions through mechanisms such as Srotorodha (obstruction of channels), Dosha-Dushya Sammurchana, and Srotovaigunya. In Agada Tantra, when Ama acquires toxic characteristics and exhibits systemic harmful effects, it may be understood under the broader concept of Ama Visha, a condition resembling endogenous toxicity. The concepts of Sama and Nirama are of paramount clinical importance, as the diagnosis and management of diseases largely depend upon determining the presence or absence of Ama. From a contemporary perspective, Ama does not have a direct equivalent in modern medical science; however, it may be correlated with metabolic toxins, inflammatory mediators, endotoxins, free radicals, improperly metabolized substances, and other toxic by-products that accumulate due to impaired digestion, metabolism, and cellular dysfunction. Such toxic accumulations may contribute to chronic inflammation, metabolic disorders, autoimmune conditions, and various systemic diseases. This review aims to critically analyze the concept of Ama and Ama Visha from classical Ayurvedic literature and explore its contemporary relevance in the context of modern toxicology and disease pathogenesis. Understanding the role of Ama in health and disease may provide valuable insights into preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic approaches and strengthen the bridge between Ayurvedic principles and modern biomedical sciences.

Abstract Background Childbirth is a unique and significant event in a woman's life. Labour pain is one of the most intense forms of pain experienced by women, especially among primigravida mothers. Non-pharmacological interventions such as slow paced breathing exercises help mothers to relax, improve oxygen supply, reduce anxiety, and enhance coping ability during labour. Aim The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of slow paced breathing exercises on pain perception during the first stage of labour among primigravida mothers. Materials and Methods A quantitative research approach with a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test control group design was adopted. The study was conducted among 60 primigravida mothers (30 experimental group and 30 control group) admitted during the first stage of labour. Samples were selected by purposive sampling technique. Pain perception was assessed using a Numeric Pain Rating Scale. Slow paced breathing exercise was provided to the experimental group during contractions for two hours in the active phase of labour, whereas the control group received routine care. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results The study findings revealed that in the experimental group after intervention, 43.33% of mothers experienced mild pain, 50% experienced moderate pain, and only 6.66% experienced severe pain. In the control group, 56.67% of mothers experienced severe pain. The mean post-test pain perception score was lower in the experimental group (Mean = 1.6, SD = 0.61) compared with the control group (Mean = 2.5, SD = 0.56). The calculated unpaired t-value was 5.92, which was higher than the table value (2.02) at 5% level of significance, indicating that slow paced breathing exercise was effective in reducing labour pain perception. No significant association was found between pre-test pain perception scores and selected demographic variables. Conclusion The study concluded that slow paced breathing exercise is an effective non-pharmacological intervention for reducing pain perception among primigravida mothers during the first stage of labour. It can be incorporated into routine maternity nursing practice to promote a positive childbirth experience.
