Introduction: Ageing is the natural process, Old age is a crucial phase where the physiological, psychological and socio-cultural changes take place. The majority of older people in India suffer from knee pain, 95% of them are under 85 years of age. Among these 87% have acute diseases and 96% have chronic diseases. Knee pain can be the result of an injury or pathology of the knee joint. The aim of the present study was to assess the effectiveness of mustard plaster on knee joint pain among elderly in selected rural areas at Hoshiarpur, Punjab. Methods: Quasi-experimental research design i.e. non randomized control group design and purposive sampling technique was used to select elderly (= 60 years of age) who had knee joint pain in a selected rural area of Hoshiarpur, Punjab. Modified KOOS pain assessment scale was used to assess the level of pain experienced by the elderly. Among experimental group Mustard powder 20gram with 40gm of wheat flour was mixed in Luke warm water and the paste was spread over a flannel cloth which was double folded and then applied to the knee joint for 7 days. A hot water bottle (1100 F) was placed on the mustard plaster to apply heat to the knee joint. the post test was conducted after the completion of 7 days of topical application of mustard plaster by using modified KOOS pain assessment scale. For control Group regular practice of the participants were encouraged. Results: In experimental group, during pretest, 63% elderly were having moderate knee joint pain, 27% were having mild knee joint pain and 10% were having severe knee joint pain. During posttest 47% elderly were having mild knee joint pain and 40% were having moderate knee joint pain, 7% were having no knee joint pain and 6% were having severe knee joint pain. While in control group, in the pretest, 67% elderly were having moderate knee joint pain, 20% were having mild knee joint pain and 13% were having severe knee joint pain whereas during posttest, 63% elderly were having moderate knee joint pain, 23% were having mild knee joint pain and 14% were having severe knee joint pain. There was statistically significant reduction in mean knee joint pain score in experimental group i.e. 8.53 as compared to control group i.e. 12.96 at p<0.05 level of significance.

 Abstract

Malaysia's service industry, including tourism, has been booming since the mid-1990s. Significantly, the tourism industry has grown significantly since 1970, with a significant increase in foreign exchange revenue, employment opportunities, and potential tourism attractions. The expansion of Malaysia's hotel industry has stimulated the growth of the country's tourism industry, owing to increased availability and hosting opportunities, food, drink, and other services. This trend puts the hotel industry's ability to please customers in jeopardy. The study's aim was thus to boost quality service standards and related factors in Malaysia's tourist hotels. The Theoretical framework shows interlink between the quality of service and the variables that directly influence the quality of service delivery The hospitality industry in Malaysia began to grow early on, but it was largely state-owned. Also, we will study the future scope and This study suggests recommendations that good management practices be implemented because they play a significant role in ensuring service quality, and that before designing a service or product, guests' expectations should be understood in the end we will summarise the conclusion.

This part will begin to investigate to a certain extent about Lebanon in general, its economy, the legislature, and the absence of departments that include the vital part. The reasons why its vitality is significantly reduced in the administrations period are explained. The motivation behind this examination is to understand and distinguish the case and approach to enhance flows and flow, consider the investigation, explore the objectives of the importance of this examination. The reasons are so far a predictable issue for the general population. It ended up in Lebanon by identifying electrical energy through a special part. Private-generation companies took a generation. They began working in the crude courses in 1925 in Beirut and then in Tripoli. Before the outbreak of the joint war in 1975, Lebanon had every minute of power every day. If so, the 15-year conflict has crushed much of the nation's capacity. After decades, this part has not been fully renewed and has not been created with the evolving interest of the Authority. This involves a power outage of three hours a day in Beirut and in some cases 12 hours or more outside the capital. After the war ended and the beginning of redrawing and developing in 1993, the Lebanese government gave awesome importance to the division of power and the need to renew it, creating it to take care of the growing demand for energy. The cost of these pledges was about $ 1.8 billion that year. However, the original citizen was not ready for the full force of the different reason I had expressed in the previous section and I would refer to the comfort at the top and come once.

 Abstract

We have study the infra red and electronic spectra in this paper. Widely studies of diffrent carbonic anhydrases (1) and alkaline phosphatases(2) indicate the presence of a catalytic Cu2+ bound to three imidazole residues of enzyme histidines. In the carboxy peptidases (3) and in thermolysin (4), the critical Cu2+ is bound to two imidazoles and a carboxylate group of the enzyme. Inspite of the obvious interest such systems would have few chelating ligands using imidazole rings have been made so far, and none which combine three simple imidazole rings as models for the metal binding sites of carbonic anhydrase.

 Abstract

Diasporic writers peregrinate their native culture to the other parts of the world through their works and build a bridge between their homeland and new abode. Decade back diasporic literature is dominated by nostalgic emotions of homelessness people but now it presents a different and positive picture of people who adapt new change easily. They are successful in establishing a relation between two cultures by negotiating with the new cultural space. The sense of homelessness and genuine pain with which every immigrant suffers from2 has been minimized through various platforms of social networking. Diasporic writers use fiction because it provides them an ample space to portray their fictional characters in new land facing the different problems in different situations. Chitra Divakaruni, through her strong narratives, grasps the crucial moments of life and portrays such dynamic character that exhibits the true culture of her home land. Divakaruni wonderfully projects the generic qualities of the spices and herbs and merges it with the fictional elements that serve the purpose of the narrative. The Mistress of Spices works as a channel to broadcast the precious value of Indian spices and herbs and its healing properties to the world. Divakaruni beautifully blends Indian spices and herbs in the story of The Mistress of Spices and tries to globalize the significance of this ancient therapy method of Ayurveda which is deeply associated with Indian culture.

 Abstract

E-tailing is one of the fastest growing industries in India. Even the brick and mortar retailers are also showing keen interest in ensuring their presence in this online market space as a part of their omni-channel strategy to reach out to their customers. The COVID-19 pandemic induced restrictions on movement of people accelerate the pace of growth of the e-tailing in India. Given this scenario, there is an intense competition among the players to capture the patronization of a large chunk customers on consistent basis. Therefore, connecting with customers at emotional level is imperative to win over the good will and loyalty of the customers. This is the ultimate antidote against travails of intense rivalry that one witnesses in Indian e-tailing. ORS is once such construct through which an e-tailer can understand that to what extent and at what level it connects with customers emotionally. This insight will help an e-tailer to change their strategies to have a better relationship with its customers. The research explores the impact of ORS on CBBE of market leaders, amazon.in and flipkart.com as CBBE is positively connected with loyalty. It also shows that how these market leaders perform on ORS. At the end of this paper, the researcher gives many suggestions to e-tailers to improve their ORS.

 Abstract

Advancement in human lifestyle due to science and technology causes contamination of environment. Heavy metals are one of such pollutants that may come from both natural and human activity and could be a serious problem/threat because of their toxicity, long persistence, and bioaccumulation and bio magnification of metals in the food chain. This is a study of determination the level of heavy metals Zn, Cu, Pb and Cd in surface water, soil sediments and whole soft body tissues of bivalve species Lamellidens corrianus, Lamellidens marginalis, and Parreysia cylindrica inhabiting in Nandur-Madhmeshwar reservoir of Nashik district during summer, monsoon and winter seasons. The bioaccumulation results revealed that mean values of concentrations of heavy metals in whole body tissues, metal body burden and BWAF and BSAF in dry soft body tissues of three bivalve species Lamellidens corrianus, Lamellidens marginalis, and Parreysia cylindrical collected from Nandur-Madhmeshwar reservoir of Nashik district. This result indicates that Lamellidens marginalis have greater potential for copper bioaccumulation, and Lamellidens corrianus for lead bioaccumulation, while Parreysia cylindrica have greater potential for cadmium and zinc bioaccumulation. Therefore, Lamellidens marginalis is proposed as sentinel animal for monitoring for copper, Lamellidens corrianus for lead while Parreysia cylindrica for cadmium and zinc in the studied fresh water reservoir.

 Abstract

Nowadays, most cases for verification are done using biometrics, but certain alternatives still use physical signatures such as Banks and Document signing. In this paper, we compare signatures and verify whether the given signature matches with the original signature or is a forgery. This is done using Artificial Neural Networks, which is a part of artificial intelligence and has brought in a lot of solutions to real world complex problems that need extensive study and research for arriving at a solution which is difficult to do so with the help of standard conventional techniques that does not make use of sophisticated algorithms. Convolutional Siamese Network, which is one part of the Artificial Neural Network, is the technique used here for signature verification. We will see how this is done by first understanding what a Siamese network is and then explaining about the various steps involved in the signature verification process such as uploading dataset, pre-processing, training, testing and finally the implementation part which tells us if the signature is authentic or forged.

Improving the overall performance of MEMS devices is one of the key necessities. Energy harvester output comes accurate if the material chosen has mechanical properties to fulfill requirements. During analysis of devices on simulation tools input parameters include Young`s modulus, bulk modulus, shear modulus which are mechanical constants utilized. Hence, material selection based on mechanical, electrical and chemical properties is necessary. Fabrication flow is highly dependent on material selection as well as properties for material to respond to temperature, pressure, stress, strain, and performance after going through fatigue. This paper discusses material selection based on mechanical properties and fabrication flow for the same material.

 Abstract

Over the past two decades, the international community has made significant progress in saving the lives of six-year-olds. However, these advances have failed to help all children grow up, especially children with disabilities. Much research on early childhood development focuses on the impact of biological and psychological factors on brain development and the effect of early intervention on a child's development. However, research tends to exclude children with disabilities, so very little information is available on interventions and that work in this high-risk group. This article will attempt to provide an overview of the child's development and developmental disabilities. It will also highlight family-based interventions aimed at providing positive promotion of development in a safe, sustainable and caring environment. It focuses on making a case for improving the opportunities for children with developmental disabilities to achieve their full potential and potential, including interventions that include early childhood development. Finally, it will strive to encourage the international research community to use a systematic approach to implementing early intervention strategies for children with developmental disabilities in low-income areas.
