 Abstract

The healthcare industry across the globe is facing sever workforce shortage which is only likely to increase in future. India would need atleast 4.3 million nurses by 2024 owing to its large population, increasing incidence of disease and people needing medical needs. Climatic factors like supportive work culture, working conditions, justified work distribution, transparency etc. affect employee satisfaction. It is believed that the majority of the challenges faced by the Indian healthcare can be addressed through organisational climate. This research aims to study the influence of organisational climate on job satisfaction and intention to stay of nursing staff. Researcher surveyed 285 nursing professionals working at Maharaja Agrasen Hospital, Punjabi Bagh and Dwarka, India. Findings of the study established a direct and statistically significant link between organisational climate and both job satisfaction and nurse's intention to stay. Also, factors other than organisational climate also affected job satisfaction and intention to leave. Findings of this research were similar to findings of several of the previous researchers. Further research is needed to identify other factors which might influence job satisfaction and intention to stay.

 Abstract

A large wading bird in the Ciconiidae family, the Painted stork is classified as Near Threatened. A study was conducted from the Zoo in the Lucknow District of Uttar Pradesh, India. The only seasonal short-distance movements that painted storks exhibit are those made in pursuit of food and breeding grounds. These birds are migratory natives to the area. In many bird species, choosing the nest site is thought to be crucial to successful reproduction. In order to suggest management of the species for conservation, the study set out to determine the factors influencing the choice of nesting habitat and nest tree, as well as time management during nest building. In this species, little research has been done on the significance of choosing a nest site and nest building behavior. In trees or places close to bodies of water, painted storks prepare their nest. The Ashoka nest trees (Saraca longifolia) were the ones chosen. The availability of food was the primary factor influencing the choice of nest site. The female and male took part in cleaning the nest. The materials used to build the nest were grasses (Sacharum and Jussiaea), some soft green leaves (twigs of Eucalyptus), and pieces of old tree branches. These branches contributed to the fortification. The nest was made softer by the grasses and leaves. Eucalyptus leaves have the ability to repel insects.

This paper explores the complex relationship between food and human emotion in Anjali Joseph's novel Another Country, using Donald Winnicott's theory of transitional objects as a psychoanalytic framework to conduct a literary study. Food in the novel serves as a powerful medium for reflecting and mediating the protagonist Leela Ghosh's emotional states and cultural identity. Through a detailed analysis, the paper demonstrates how food acts as a transitional object, providing comfort and continuity amidst Leela's personal and cultural dislocations. The paper also highlights how culinary experiences mirror Leela's inner turmoil and facilitate moments of connection and intimacy, helping her navigate complex emotional landscapes. The symbolic significance of food is highlighted as it becomes a conduit for cultural memory and a vehicle for resolving emotional conflicts.

 Abstract

This paper compares three distinct approaches to signal amplification and conditioning for piezoelectric sensors and light intensity measurement. The first approach addresses the challenge of amplifying weak charge signals from piezoelectric plates in shape detection, proposing a compact, high-integration charge amplifier circuit with strong anti-interference capabilities. This design, validated through Multisim simulations and actual tests, demonstrates good passband flatness and less than 2% theoretical error, highlighting its feasibility and reliability. The second approach presents a novel charge amplifier for piezoelectric sensors, particularly beneficial in quasi-static applications. By eliminating the need for extremely large resistors and utilizing a simple analog and linear feedback network with general-purpose JFET operational amplifiers, the proposed circuit significantly reduces output offset voltage and implementation costs. Experimental results show a low-cutoff frequency of 0.2 Hz and a gain of 20.5 dB, with a minimal output offset voltage and a relative error of 2.1%. The third approach evaluates different signal conditioning circuits for light intensity measurement using LDR and photodiode sensors. It emphasizes the importance of accurate light measurement for various applications and highlights the performance of instrumentation amplifiers for fixed lux ranges and active low-pass filters for variable lux ranges. This comparative analysis underscores the advancements in signal conditioning solutions tailored to specific applications, enhancing measurement accuracy and efficiency.

 Abstract

Excessive gingival pigmentation can significantly impact a person's smile aesthetics. The growing emphasis on a perfect smile has led to a surge in gingival depigmentation procedures. These surgeries aim to improve gingival aesthetics by addressing pigmentation concerns. Periodontal therapy has received a significant boost with the advent of platelet concentrates. This innovative approach promotes rapid wound healing through two key mechanisms: enhanced blood vessel formation (neovascularization) and accelerated remodelling of scar tissue (cicatricle tissue). Compared to platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), concentrated growth factor (CGF) represents a novel autologous platelet concentrate. Its distinct centrifugation process yields a denser fibrin matrix enriched with a higher concentration of growth factors. This case report describes a successful surgical approach to gingival depigmentation by use of a CGF membrane as a periodontal dressing following the removal of pigment.

 Abstract

We propose a network-level system using hybrid cryptography and blockchain techniques to fortify digital transmissions. Existing proposals for network security are often expensive subscriptions using third-party software or use a single algorithm and a hash-key system for security. This makes the system share the vulnerabilities of used algorithm along with giving the matter of security in someone else's hand. Additionally, any hardware solution available in the market is a USB that acts as an intermediary, or a bulky hardware extension that connects to the router. Introducing an intermediary reduces the speed of transmissions that can prove detrimental in some cases while also raising questions for practicality of the excess equipment. Our approach makes it so a single router is capable of securing all transmissions. TripleShield combines the strengths of a triple-layer encryption, secure key exchange and blockchain. Through a custom PCB that replaces the router, we look to both- fortify the transmissions along with maintaining an audit trail for everything. By using multi-layered encryptions and pen- testing we aim to make cracking the network a formidable nightmare for any adversaries.

Abstract: The reliability of any system, during which the linear displacement of a piston is regenerate into the rotation of a power transmission shaft, strongly depends on the reliability of the crankshaft. The crankshaft is that the vital element and any damage occurring to the crankshaft might put the system out of order. Crankshaft is massive volume production component with a complex geometry within the ICE. This converts the reciprocating displacement of the piston into a rotation of the crank. The crank shaft takes the power from piston that is generated because of combustion method within the combustion chamber of the cylinder. Throughout the power transmission method the load acts at a specific crank angle to the max and thus the connecting rod is analyzed for the stress developed, due to load conditions and the changes mentioned. The existing works design first the 3D model of the engine parts are built in the software 'CATIA V5' and are then transferred to 'ANSYS'. The analysis of crank throw distortion and stress provides a conceptual support to enhance the design by weigh reduction. The proposed research works the 3D model of crankshaft system, obtained from CATIA V5 software is analyzed in ANSYS to assess the motion and loads acting on the crankshaft. Topology optimization is help to optimize the performance of any machine. The present model is test in three different loading conditions 22624N, 32624N and 42624N load is applied in crank shaft. After analysis ad comparison of all present models it is seen that the lowest stress, deformation and weight are found in model 3 in all loading condition. The topology optimization process is help to reduce the material of workpiece without affecting the performance.

According to Ayurveda, Dosha, Dhatu and Mala are considered 'moola' of the body. The body is formed and maintained by their balance. Mala, in terms of Mutra, Purisha, and Sweda, are the waste products of Anna rasa. The traits of Mala, Dhatu, and Dosha change under any pathological condition. Acharya Yogaratnakara mentioned Mala Pariksha, one of the Asthasthana Pareeksha. When a person is suffering from diseases, changes can be seen in the Mala. By observing these changes, a diagnosis can be established, or they can be used as aids in diagnosis. The changes pertaining to Purisha (stool) have been documented in Brihattrayi under a variety of disease circumstances, even though they are scattered. The six-fold examination known as Sushruta's Shadvidha Pariksha will give first-hand information about changes in stool and serve as a diagnostic tool. Jala Nimajjana Purisha Pariksha is another tool for determining the status of Agni and understanding the Saama and Niramavastha of Purisha Mala. Modern aspects of stool examination provide detailed descriptions of physical, chemical, and microscopical changes.
