 Abstract

Pediatric stomach cancer is an exceedingly rare malignancy with varied incidence rates and outcomes across different regions. This systematic review aims to comprehensively analyze the epidemiology, diagnostic strategies, and treatment modalities for pediatric stomach cancer from 2020 to 2024. A systematic review of literature published between 2020 and 2024 was conducted. Databases searched included PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Studies were included if they reported on pediatric patients (age 0-18) with stomach cancer, and provided data on epidemiology, diagnostic methods, or treatment outcomes. 10 studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. The result showed that incidence of pediatric stomach cancer ranged from 0.3 to 2 per million children annually, with higher rates reported in urban settings. Genetic predispositions, particularly mutations in CDH1 and TP53, were identified as significant risk factors. Endoscopy emerged as the primary diagnostic tool, demonstrating high sensitivity and specificity, while complementary imaging techniques such as MRI and CT scans played crucial roles in staging. Despite these advancements, the median time to diagnosis remained between 2 to 4 months, indicating ongoing challenges in early detection. Treatment involved surgery and chemotherapy, with multimodal approaches showing improved survival outcomes. However, variability in treatment protocols and the occurrence of adverse effects like neutropenia and cardiotoxicity were noted. Studies highlighted the need for standardized treatment protocols and enhanced diagnostic capabilities, particularly in resource-limited settings. This review concluded that underscores the importance of early detection and standardized treatment protocols in managing pediatric stomach cancer. Future research should focus on large-scale, multicentric studies to validate genetic findings and optimize treatment strategies, as well as addressing barriers to early diagnosis in different regions.

FoMO and social comparison are two common terms that are generally recognized among university students and has an impact on their psychological well-being. The study investigates the influence of fear of escape (FoMO)and Social Comparison on university students' Psychological Well-being. This study aims to uncover the extent to which these factors contribute to student's general mental health through a comprehensive review and empirical analysis of existing literature by examining the prevalence of FoMO and Social Comparison in university. The sample consisted of hundred university students (N=100) pursuing bachelors or undergraduate courses from various universities of Delhi NCR. The sampling was based on random sampling method. The data was collected using questionnaire method and the tools used were Fear Of Missing Out Scale (FOMOS), Social comparison Scale (SCS) and Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS).This study has adopted an exploratory research design and employed regression analysis. Regression analysis is used in the study to look at how social comparison and FoMO negatively affect students' mental health. Research suggests that stress and anxiety can be increased by comparing oneself to peers in terms of accomplishments, attractiveness, or way of life. This is made worse by FoMO, which intensifies the pressure to keep up with others and results in a lowered sense of self-worth and self-esteem. According to the study, these actions might obstruct one's own growth and perpetuate a vicious cycle of unhappiness and inertia. Digital connectedness and excessive social media use also intensify these harmful impacts. In order to lessen these effects, the research emphasizes the significance of setting up sound boundaries and developing self-awareness and self-compassion. To encourage good mental health outcomes and resistance against social comparison and fear of missing out, it is essential to foster a supportive and genuine atmosphere in social circles and educational environments.

 Abstract

In India, women constitute almost half of the overall population. However, in the realms of work and starting businesses, the involvement of women in the workforce and their chances for entrepreneurship are significantly minimal. Given that women fall into the category of the vulnerable population, it is crucial to give them the necessary focus and recognition to escape their vulnerability in economic, political, and social aspects, enabling them to lead self-sufficient lives. Empowerment of women can only be realized when they possess economic and financial autonomy. This requires a dedicated support network in infrastructure areas such as banks, markets, etc. Such a support network is provided by the government, civil society, self-help groups, women's associations, and non-governmental organizations, which are essential in lifting women from various vulnerabilities and motivating them to engage in economic endeavors such as entrepreneurship. The topic of conversation revolves around the reference to a key federal program known as Mudra Yojana, which is significantly encouraging women's entrepreneurship by increasing the number of women's accounts established and loans provided to them annually.

Today, the rice sector heavily relies on synthetic pesticides to prevent loses. Nonetheless, these chemicals carry toxicity risks and can have harmful impacts on humans, animals and ecosystem. Thus, this study aims to observe the effectiveness of common Indian spices. The mortality and repllency rate were determined using a random arrangement with five different treatments. In this study, we have demonstrated the effectiveness of various Indian spices, viz, Myristica fragrans (mace), Piper nigrum (black pepper), Cinnamomum zeylanicum (cinnamon), Carom copticum (ajwain), Laurus nobilis (bay leaves) in protecting stored rice from Sitophilus oryzae infestation. The data was subsequently subjected to statistical analysis, with the significance level set at P< 0.05. Mace and Black pepper exhibited the highest effectiveness causing 90% and 85% of mortality respectively. In terms of repellency, the assessment of various reveals that Mace shows a significant repellent effect, demonstrating a notably high repellency rate within 12 hours. Therefore, the results indicate this trend (Mortality- Mace> Black pepper> Cinnamon> Ajwain> Bay leaves) (Repellency- Mace> Black pepper> Cinnamon> Ajwain> Bay leaves). This was an attempt to explore an alternative approach to pest management demonstrating that these spices contain elements with natural insecticidal and repellent properties. Experiment was performed to check the effecient of spices and repllency behaviour on Rice Weevil.

 Abstract

The paper examines the central theme of tradition versus modernisation in the play, The Starved (Bhukha) by Mangalu Charan Biswal, which delves into a socio-cultural context and focuses upon five Bajanias, rural folk performers who become poverty-stricken and culturally subjugated because of their low caste, passion for traditional livelihoods and the replacement of modernisation into traditional practices. The paper aims to study the conflict between tradition and modernization and its impact on the poor and marginalised people. The dominance of modernisation predicts the downfall of a long-preserved culture and its practices. The paper tries to suggest possible solutions to the problems shown with possible further studies on the same topic.
