Abstract This study explores India's trade dynamics from 1991-1992 to 2019-2020, a period marked by significant economic reforms. Utilizing data from reputable sources like the RBI, WTO, UNCTAD, World Bank, and WITS, detailed analysis was conducted on exports and imports, categorizing them by industries, countries, and regions. Through rigorous cleaning and analytical methods such as time-series analysis and trend detection, the study reveals fluctuating trade balances, with exports and imports both experiencing substantial growth. The widening trade deficit underscores the need for sustainable balance policies. Furthermore, global events like the 2008-09 Global Financial Crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic have impacted India's trade. Pre-1991, India operated as a closed economy with high import duties and restrictions on foreign investment, emphasizing domestic control of commercial sectors. Ethical considerations were prioritized, adhering to terms of use specified by data sources. India's trade balance shifts between surplus and deficit due to global ties and economic factors. Exports rise steadily, demonstrating product competitiveness. Imports grow, showing increased international product integration. However, the widening trade gap, reaching $184 billion in 2018-19, calls for sustainable policies. External events like the Global Financial Crisis and COVID-19 affect India's trade balance, emphasizing the need for adaptability.

 Abstract

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) remains a major global health challenge, with millions of people infected worldwide. While significant progress has been made in HIV treatment over the past few decades, here is still an urgent send for novel therapeutic agents to combat drug resistance and improve patient outcomes. In silico drug design has emerged as a powerful tool in the discovery and development of new anti-HIV drugs. By leveraging computational methods and structural data, researchers rapidly identify promising compounds, optimize their properties and predict their interactions with viral targets. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in in silico drug design strategies for HIV, including structure bases drug design, ligand-based drug design, and machine learning approaches. We discuss the key viral targets for drug discovery, such as reverse transcriptase, protease, and integrase, and highlight successful case studies of computationally-designed HIV inhibitors that have progressed to clinical trials. We also explore the challenges and future directions in this field, such as the need for more accurate binding affinity prediction tools and the integration of in silico methods with experimental validation. Overall, in silico drug design offers a promising avenue for accelerating the discovery of novel anti-HIV therapeutics and improving the lives of those affected by this devastating virus.

Abstract: The novel Wife by Bharati Mukherjee deftly examines the psychological decline and deep estrangement that its lead character, Dimple Dasgupta, undergoes throughout her move from Calcutta to a suburban existence in the United States. This research explores the complex interplay of cultural dislocation, marital strife, and societal expectations that lead to Dimple's unravelling mental condition. The way that Mukherjee depicts Dimple's trip offers a moving look at the psychological effects of migration and the difficulties that immigrants have juggling competing cultural identities. Dimple experiences a bewildering identity crisis as a result of her move to America, which upends her sense of self, which is firmly anchored in her Indian ancestry. Through Dimple's internal difficulties and exterior battles to fit into American culture while retaining her cultural identity, Mukherjee exposes this problem. Dimple has increasing psychological discomfort as a result of the conflict between her conventional upbringing and the modern cultural standards she meets, which exacerbates her mental decline over time. The novel sheds light on the psychological decline and alienation that immigrants go through when they have to balance their ethnic identity with society expectations. Through Dimple's story, Mukherjee asks readers to reflect on the psychological and emotional toll that migration takes, providing a nuanced portrait of the resilience and internal conflicts faced by people torn between two very different cultural contexts.

Methylene blue is a common dye utilized in various industries such as textiles, printing, and laboratory trying out. in terms of treating wastewater containing methylene blue dye, natural adsorbents can be effective and environmentally pleasant alternatives. Activated Carbon isn't always a "natural" in its processed shape, activated carbon can be derived from natural assets like coconut shells, wooden, or coal. It has a high surface place and porosity, making it effective for adsorbing a wide variety of pollution consisting of methylene blue dye. The effectiveness of those natural adsorbents can range depending on factors consisting of the unique dye awareness, pH of the solution, contact time, and temperature. additionally, the regeneration and reusability of the adsorbents have to also be considered for sensible applications. normal, herbal adsorbents offer a promising approach for the remedy of methylene blue dye and other pollution in wastewater.

The paper proposes a methodology of deriving a composite index of regional FDI attractiveness scores. By adopting a research methodology that is deductive in nature, the paper first selects a set of variables (proxies) which seeks to include all the identifiable, measurable, and comparable aspects affecting the inflow of FDI. The paper next aggregates these variables using the technique of TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) used in Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM). Regional rankings based on actual per-capita FDI inflows are next compared with those based on TOPSIS based composite rankings. Regional difference in actual FDI inflows can thus be attributed to differences in regional FDI attractiveness scores.

The study investigated the impact of Preksha Meditation on the happiness levels of 30 retired individuals from Amroha district, Uttar Pradesh, with a mean age of 73.33 years, using the Happiness Scale (HS-RHMJ) developed by Himanshi Rastogi and Janki Moorjani (2017). The scale comprises 62 items across five dimensions of happiness, rated on a five-point Likert scale. Before and after a one-week Preksha Meditation training program of morning and afternoon sessions, participants completed the scale. Results indicated a significant increase in mean scores from pre-test to post-test for total dimensions of happiness. The 't' value was significant at the 0.01 level (p < 0.01), suggesting a notable improvement in total happiness dimensions post-intervention. This suggests that Preksha Meditation positively influences the overall happiness levels of retired individuals.

 Abstract

The state-making process is often blamed for the ongoing inter-state border disputes in India's northeast. The colonial demarcation and re-demarcation of borders left persisting legacies of border plurality and inconsistencies in the region. Post-colonial reorganisation of states was followed by border disagreements between Assam and its four adjoining states of Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Mizoram, and Meghalaya. The territorial claims of these states beyond their constitutional borders apparently have historical roots, particularly in the state-making exercise in the region. Since the outset of these disputes, the post-colonial federal constitution has attempted to address the problem by applying different settlement mechanisms. This study thus makes a retrospective analysis to understand how state-making practices since colonial rule have contributed to the current border discord and also attempts to understand available constitutional mechanisms for resolving the issue.

 Abstract

Culture is the distinctive feature of a society. Each society can be differentiated from another based on their cultures. Each culture is unique in its own way and has to be preserved by that society Bharati Mukherjee's novels and short stories often reveal the emotional and psychic consequences of the search for self-identity in the alien land. Mukherjee is at her best in the depiction of cross-cultural conflicts and how her heroines take control over their destines. Cultural conflicts arise between individuals or social groups separated by cultural boundaries. Mukherjee admits that it is difficult for the Indian immigrant women to assimilate American values system sacrificing the soul of the Indian spiritual life. Cross- cultured confrontation is a great influence on immigrants today. The two protagonists of Mukherjee, Jasmine and Dimple face Cultural shock due to their immigration to the foreign land and who could not cope up with their changed circumstances and with the two socio- cultural environments accompanied with the feelings of rootlessness and nostalgia.

This article focuses on the functional verification of a DMA controller within a microcontroller system-on-chip (SoC) using UVM. DMA is an integral part to modern computer systems, enhancing performance by offloading data transfer tasks from the CPU. The proposed work employs the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) to develop a comprehensive verification environment that includes essential components like drivers, monitors, scoreboards, and sequencers. The verification covers various data transfer modes (fixed-to-fixed, fixed-to-block, block-to-fixed, and block-to-block), boundary conditions, and error cases to ensure the functional correctness of the DMA controller. Different code coverage was obtained such as FSM coverage of 100%, Expression coverage of 90.13%, Conditional coverage of 93.33%, and Statements coverage of 99.34% which leads to overall code coverage of 86% for the DMA Controller. Advanced SystemVerilog features such as assertions, coverpoints, and covergroups are incorporated into the testbench to improve its effectiveness. The proposed work also demonstrates successful verification through detailed test cases, validating the DMA controller's functionality and providing a robust basis for future enhancements in SoC design

 Abstract

Managers who promote ethical behavior are likely to influence the well-being of their employees. This study examined psychological empowerment as an important variable linking ethical leadership to employee well-being, work engagement, and emotional exhaustion. We used a survey to distribute questionnaires to 56 auditors from two audit firms in Bhopal. The study supported all the hypotheses that we proceed as a sample. Good and authentic ethical leadership has a strong influence on psychological influence. Thus, psychological empowerment is positively related to work engagement and negatively related to emotional exhaustion. The result showed that psychological empowerment partially mediates the effect of ethical leadership on work engagement and commitment, and it fully mediates the effect on ethical leadership and emotional intelligence. This study found that ethical leadership stimulates the psychological empowerment of employees; thus, it increases engagement and commitment to work and also reduces mental exhaustion.

 Abstract

The rich tapestry of India's cultural heritage is intricately woven with the threads of its traditional handloom industry. Handloom, being the second-largest employment generator next to agriculture, plays a pivotal role in the textile industry. Moreover, the products of the weavers in different parts of the state or region signify the identity of the people. As we explore the world of handloom in India, it is essential to consider the broader context of the handloom industry in the 21st century. As such, for centuries, master weavers have played a significant role in shaping and preserving the cultural legacy. In the same way that Thenzawl, the handloom hub of Mizoram, is located in the district of Serchhip, where a significant portion of the industry is handled by master weavers. More than 70 percent of weavers work under master weavers (Government of India, 1996), and little is known about their existence. The dominance of master weavers is so great that they have established weaver cooperatives, each operating in a unique manner in this particular area. So the case study focuses on the operations of master weavers as handloom entrepreneurs.

 Abstract

The main aim of this studywas to reduce the use of cement so as to produce a CO2 emission free cementitious material and Geopolymer Concrete (GPC) was the best alternative solution present out there. GPC utilizes industrial waste material such as fly ash from thermal power station to provide practical solution to waste management as well as environmental protection method. In this study we have used low calcium fly ash (ASTM class F), along with fly ash, water wasenable to bind effectively. Therefore we also have replaced water completely with alkaline solution to hold fly ash, aggregate and sand together. The alkaline solutions we have used are - sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium silicate (Na2SiO3). The main purpose to introduce alkaline solution was polymerization. That is the reason scientist Davidovits named this mix as geopolymer concrete. GPC required high temperature for curing to happen the polymerization, to neglect this necessity we also have used Ground Granular Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) in the proportion FA:GGBS as 60:40. Thus, the curing of GPC was done at ambient temperature without keeping it in water unlike the conventional concrete. Amongst both the alkali solutions i.e. NaOH and Na2SiO3, sodium hydroxide was used in different molar concentration of 10M, 12M and 14M with keeping silicate to hydroxide ratio constant as 1.5, three different sets of 9 cubes and 3 cylinders were casted. It was observed that the specimen of 12M concentrated solution has the maximum compressive strength, split tensile strength.

In recent years, the retail landscape has been transformed by the rise of organized retailing. The advent of major organized retailers has led to a decline in both the market share and profit margins of unorganized merchants. This shift is largely attributed to increasing consumer income levels. The intense competition among organized retailers provides consumers with numerous choices. This paper seeks to identify the factors that influence customers' decisions when selecting a retail outlet.
