 Abstract

A child's future health depends on proper nutrition during the first 1,000 days of life, as well as during pregnancy and the early years of life. According to research, the diet of the mother, weight, and lifestyle choices might affect the infant's immune system, organ development, and metabolism. Building a relationship with parents or other caregivers in a secure and loving setting, eating the right foods. The 1,000 days hold both great possibility and great fragility in a child's life. The ability of a child to develop, learn, and thrive is significantly impacted by how well or how poorly mothers and children are fed and cared for throughout this period. This review aims to discuss the importance of maternal nutrition and how it impacts the development and expansion of a child during this critical period of development, which is supported by the most recent literature.

The NBFC sector is about to undergo a dramatic transformation propelled by cutting-edge technology like automation and artificial intelligence (AI). A more complex picture is emerging, notwithstanding the concerns of some that these developments could result in job losses. Automating routine processes like as data processing and loan eligibility checks is a possibility. But this allows NBFC staff members to concentrate on higher-value tasks. Imagine loan officers with enhanced client service and the ability to customize loan products thanks to AI-powered creditworthiness analysis tools. In a similar vein, personnel can concentrate on strategic goals and cultivating deeper customer relationships by freeing up time with automated back-office operations that streamline processes. A workforce that is more tech-savvy will be required for this tech-driven transition. NBFCs will be better equipped to navigate the future if they place a high priority on staff training and upskilling. NBFCs can guarantee that their staff members have the abilities to prosper alongside intelligent technology by promoting a culture of continuous learning, which will increase employee engagement and satisfaction.

Feminism is a social theory and political movement that was developed and initiated to tackle misogyny, sexual harassment, and sexual discrimination. Feminism criticism in literature is concerned mainly with how gender effects the creation and analysis of literary works, including stereotyping, discrimination, tyranny and patriarchy. Jane Eyre is a fictional character who has an emotional connection to Rochester, In this paper, using feminist approach and text analysis, Jane Eyre dares to pursue love, fight against unfair laws, portraying the true image of woman, the traditional symbol of the Western awakening feminist awareness, women begin to fight for their rights and desires. Charlotte Bronte's novel Jane Eyre is a well known work based on her own personal life. The author portrays a strong and independent woman who aspires to true love and equality in this novel. At that time, Jane Eyre was different from any other woman. She struggles for her life and defends her destiny in the midst of hardship and in difficult situations. Jane Eyre's character was very different from male-dominated society of the Victorian period. She stands for a young woman who dares to fight for her love and rights. This paper argues that Jane's transformation into a feminist in seeking autonomy, equality, and love is gradually influenced by the historical, cultural, and contemporary background of the Victorian era and key points of feminism, as well as the events of Victorian period.

The paper assess the geopolitical significance of the Horn of Africa (HoA) stems from its strategic location, natural resources, socio-economic complexities, political instability, international influence, and humanitarian concerns. Understanding these factors is crucial for comprehending the region's dynamics and the complex interactions that shape its geopolitical landscape. Addressing the region's challenges requires concerted efforts from both regional actors and the international community to promote stability, economic development, and security. As a critical nexus for global trade routes and security, developments in the Horn of Africa have far-reaching implications beyond its borders. The Horn of Africa sits at a critical juncture between the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, and the Indian Ocean. This geographic position gives it control over major maritime routes, including the Aden-Suez Canal route, which is crucial for global trade, particularly oil transportation. The Horn of Africa is rich in natural resources such as potash, diamonds, and increasingly significant discoveries of oil and gas reserves. These resources attract international interest but also contribute to local economic disparities and conflicts over resource control.

 Abstract

Color image enhancement is a complex and challenging process with several applications. It is quite difficult to maintain the color of the provided image in every circumstance. This work uses a relatively simple improvement technique that optimally preserves the hue and range of the R, G, and B channels of a color image. The first stage is to use meaningful rigid ordering of pixels, meaning that the pixels are aligned in a fixed way, to transform the intensity image to the target intensity. After the image has been enhanced, applying the new algorithms to it should fit the target intensity in the image. This research presents an investigation of new methods that increase color and compares them to a well-known histogram-based approach that preserves the hue and range of a color image. The outcomes show that, in comparison to other approaches, the algorithms in this study provide substantially superior enhancement. These algorithms, though relatively simple, produce very good results when Hue and range preservation are important.

The purpose of this study to develop medicated chocolate of Atomoxetine. Atomoxetine is a prescription medicine used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This medicine helps to modulates the activity of certain chemical messengers in the brain, which increases attention and decreases restlessness. The crucial aspect in formulation of medicated chocolate is to mask the bitter taste of drug. Initially the inclusion complex between Atomoxetine and beta cyclodextrin was prepared by kneading method. Different molar ratio of complex is prepared. Complex was characterized using FTIR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, % drug release study. Medicated chocolate containing Atomoxetine were prepared using ingredients like cocoa powder, cocoa butter, pharmaceutical sugar, lecithin, dicalcium phosphate, flavor. The initial compatibility studies between drug and excipients were carried out using DSC and FTIR spectra. The concentration of cocoa powder [X1] and cocoa butter [X2] were selected as independent variables. The hardness [Y1] and % CDR [Y2] were selected as dependent variables. The prepared medicated chocolate was evaluated for hardness, in vitro drug release, thickness, weight variation, drug content, moisture content, fat and sugar bloom. The results indicated that concentration of cocoa powder [X1] and cocoa powder [X2] were significantly affected the hardness [Y1] and %CDR [Y2]. Formulation F4 was found to be best formulation with % drug release in 30 min 9%. There was no drastic change in the results of medicated chocolate of an optimized batch at end of one month accelerated stability Study

This article examines the major barriers to effective professional development for English as Foreign Language (EFL) teachers, with a particular focus on the context of Oman. Despite the critical role of continuous professional development (CPD) in improving teaching practices and student outcomes, there are numerous challenges that hider its successful implementation. This study recognizes six major barriers for successful continuous professional programs. The article provides a detailed analysis of each of these barriers through a review of existing literature, including works by Afshar and Ghasemi (2017), Lorimer (2018), and Omar (2014). It highlights the lack of adequate funding and resources as primary obstacles to CPD, with frugal budgets limiting access to high-quality CPD opportunities, especially in developing countries. The ubiquitous time constraints are also significant factors, as teachers often struggle to balance their professional responsibilities with the demands of ongoing development. The relevance and practicality of CPD programs are vital for their success, yet many programs do not address the specific requirements and contexts of EFL teachers. Furthermore, inadequate administrative support and a lack of collaborative culture deter the healthy concept of sharing of best practices. Technological barriers like limited access to necessary tools and digital literacy skills further complicate the issue. Lastly, the article also discusses the unique cultural and educational challenges in Oman, emphasizing the need for cultural appropriateness of CPD programs rendered in the country. The findings highlight the necessity of addressing these barriers to improve the effectiveness of professional development ventures and support the professional growth of EFL teachers.

It is well known that languages have an interconnection with each other with the constant reciprocation of words. This results in an influence of one on another. Such a reciprocation and influence of language languages can be traced or seen from the literature. Though subscript has a very long stretch of multi thousand years, there has been a parallel flow of original languages. Now, those languages of the Indian subcontinent are known as Prakrit. Which eventually emerged into today's original languages of India. In this article, we are trying to mark the similarities and differences of language structure of Sanskrit and Marathi, Which highlights the abiding connection of the duo.
