Abstract

The world is witnessing rapid technological growth, with the internet becoming a ubiquitous presence that transcends geographical boundaries, facilitating the flow of information. Data has become an integral part of our daily lives, connecting almost every aspect of modern life to some form of data. Whether it's social media, banking, or retail, our daily routines are intricately linked to data. This increased interconnectedness brings forth new and complex challenges in terms of privacy and data protection, making it crucial to ensure individuals have control over their personal data. India, as one of the fastest-growing economies, is at the forefront of this digital transformation, with various sectors being digitized and the launch of the Digital India program. In response to the growing concern over the protection of personal data and individual privacy rights, the Indian government has introduced several pieces of legislation. The bill's preamble aims to provide a legislative framework for protecting personal data and individual rights in India's rapidly evolving digital landscape. This research aims to analyze the efficiency of the law and the challenges associated with data protection in India. It will also compare the Indian data protection legislative framework with those of the European Union and the USA to identify areas for improvement. The comparison will focus on data protection principles, enforcement mechanisms, individual rights, accountability measures for data processors, cross-border data transfer provisions, and remedies available to individuals in the event of a data protection breach. The research will provide insights into the grey areas where the Indian legislative framework may face complex issues and propose improvements. In the digital age, it is imperative for countries to take significant steps to address the challenges arising from data protection and privacy concerns.

Accounting and audit have a pivotal role to play in the financial activities and record keeping process of any business. However, their roles and focus are different. While accounting translates to a much wider field, encompassing everything, including the flow of money from the organisation to the management of the company, auditing is more of a specialised service. Auditing is a part of the accounting world. It is an examination of accounting and financial records that is undertaken independently. This is done to determine if the company or the business undertaking has conformed its operations to the laws and the generally accepted accounting principles.

ABSTRACT Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels. This study aimed to investigate the potential antidiabetic effects of Momordica charantia (bitter melon) and Spondias mombin (yellow mombin) on streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. The experiment involved six groups of rats: a normal control group, a diabetic control group, a group treated with Metformin as standard drug,a group treated with Momordica charantia, and a group treated with Spondias mombin and a group treated with combination of both herbal drug Spondias mombin and Momordica charantia . Diabetes was induced in the rats using a single intraperitoneal injection of STZ. The treatment groups received oral doses of the respective plant extracts for a duration of four weeks. The results demonstrated that both Momordica charantia and Spondias mombin exhibited significant antidiabetic effects in the diabetic rats. Treatment with these plant extracts resulted in a reduction in fasting blood glucose levels, compared to the diabetic control group. Furthermore, the plant extract-treated groups showed improved glucose tolerance and increased insulin sensitivity compared to the diabetic control group. Biochemical analysis revealed that the plant extracts effectively restored altered lipid profile parameters, including total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, towards normal levels. Moreover, treatment with Momordica charantia and Spondias mombin significantly attenuated oxidative stress by increasing antioxidant enzyme activity and reducing malondialdehyde levels. Histopathological examination of pancreatic tissues showed that both plant extracts preserved pancreatic architecture and reduced STZ-induced damage, such as beta-cell degeneration and inflammatory cell infiltration. In conclusion, the findings of this study indicate that Momordica charantia and Spondias mombin have potential antidiabetic properties and may provide beneficial effects in managing diabetes. These plant extracts exhibited hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, antioxidant, and pancreatic protective effects in STZ-induced diabetic rats. Further research is warranted to explore the underlying mechanisms and identify active compounds responsible for these effects, which could lead to the development of novel therapeutic interventions for diabetes management.

 Abstract

This thesis analyses a selection of Shaw's female characters to reflect on women's roles and expectations within Shaw's contemporaneous Britain, and within modern Kurdish society. Employing interdisciplinary methodologies (close literary readings, sociological analysis, cultural studies theory, comparative literature approaches, historiographical research), the thesis demonstrates that an interpretation of Shaw's work from a feminist perspective needs updating for the 21st century. Moreover, perhaps, for the first time, the thesis reveals how Shaw's representations of femininity and feminism are extremely pertinent to Kurdish social/gender constructs. Consequently, this thesis provides original insights, which engage with the contemporary moment. The main-body of the thesis is arranged into three sections, which focus on three of Shaw's plays: Pygmalion (1912), Mrs. Warren's Profession (1893) and Saint Joan (1923). It identifies three different female "types" within the three plays, respectively: the aspirational young woman; the matriarch; the female 'warrior' figure, and argues that these feminine "types" are also prominent in Kurdish socio-cultural contexts. Correlatively, the thesis argues that when experiencing the plays from a Kurdish viewpoint, there is a dual-level of interpretation: not only do Shaw's characters evoke the stories and experiences of inspirational Kurdish women; a knowledge of these Kurdish women and their narratives, imbue Shaw's plays with layers of significance and connotations which would be absent from a British person's interpretations of the play. From this basis, the thesis elicits the similarities and differences between Western and Kurdish concepts of femininity and feminism.

 Abstract

Uncontrolled cell proliferation can cause cancer, which is characterized by the growth of an unusually large tumour that starts off as a localized illness but has the potential to spread and affect other organs or vital functions. Cancer is one of the worst diseases of our day, taking countless lives annually. The differences in the disease around the world, the influence of the medical facilities that are available, and other socioeconomic factors have all had an impact on the efficient care of this ailment. Therapeutic applications are being found for numerous groups of phytochemicals found in herbal medicine. Herbal medicine treatment has been found to be especially beneficial for cancer patients, with many reporting a large increase in survivorship. The anti-oxidative and superoxide scavenging properties of particular active ingredients in herbal medicine have been demonstrated in recent studies, along with their inhibitory effects on lipid peroxidation and anti-cancer qualities. Certain herbal remedies have analgesic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties. Apart from its numerous medicinal properties, herbal medicine finds application as a nutrient supplement with anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. Herbal medicine has been the subject of several in vivo and in vitro investigations using various cell lines. The mechanisms of actions are still unknown, though. Herbal anticancer medications have drawn a lot of attention lately because of their potential as complementary or alternative therapy to traditional cancer treatments. These medications, which are made from a variety of plants and other natural sources, show encouraging anticancer effects by inducing apoptosis, inhibiting angiogenesis, and having anti-proliferative effects. This abstract examines the state of the field, emphasizing the effectiveness, safety, and difficulties related to the creation and application of herbal anticancer medications in cancer treatment.

AIM: To study the efficacy of Alteplase versus Tenecteplase and to assess the quality of life in patients with acute ischemic stroke. METHODS: A hospital based prospective observational study was done at a tertiary care hospital located in Thiruvananthapuram over a period of 6 months. The efficacy of Alteplase and Tenecteplase is compared and the quality of life in these patients is assessed . There are two groups in the study. One group of patients treated with Alteplase and the other group with Tenecteplase. The efficacy was compared by the use of National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). The quality of life of the patients was evaluated before and after the treatment by using Stroke specific quality of life (SS-QOL) to detect whether the QOL has improved.The anxiety and depression in patient is also being assessed using Hospital anxiety and depression scale(HADS). The cost effectiveness of both drugs is also being analysed. RESULTS: The treatment with Tenecteplase gives better efficacy than that of Alteplase. At the end of the treatment, 25.3% improvement was seen in patients with treatment of Tenecteplase while Alteplase shows only 10% . The QOL shows 86% improvement in patients treated with Tenecteplase and 64% was observed in patients taking Alteplase. The HADS shows 36% improvement in patients treated with Tenecteplase while 38% in Alteplase. CONCLUSION: The result shows that the treatment with the Tenecteplase gives better efficacy and also shows superiority in upgrading the quality of life. Even though the treatment outcome of Alteplase was not superior to the outcome of Tenecteplase, only 15.3% of difference was observed between the outcomes of two groups.

 Abstract

Accidents are the most undesirable mishaps responsible for the destruction of a considerable number of National Resources. According to international statistics, Losses due to traffic accidents in developing countries are well over 1% percent of their gross national product (GDP). This percentage is nearly 2.5% in INDIA, and Globally, INDIA is in 3rd position from the South Asia region. This paper briefly overviews India's current road accident statistics, especially on National Highways, during the last seven years. India has a high rate of road traffic accidents, presents a clear picture of violation of traffic discipline, and day by day, the situation is getting worse, not only in terms of the number of people killed or injured but also of the high social and economic costs occurring from these accidents. This scenario is even worse in rural areas (comprising 63% of total accidents occurring in India between 2015 and 2021). Out of 31,41,601 reported accidents, 18,35,254 accidents occurred during the seven-year study period from 2015 to 2021. In this thesis, an attempt has been made to find out traffic accident trends in India. Also, an attempt to find out trends of accident data presented herein to either accident profiles or compare the proportion of accidents by road class, time, light, junction, collision, weather, locations, pavement, road surface condition, and alignment can be undertaken. Road safety initiatives should be taken to manage hazardous conditions and locations by imposing appropriate safety provisions.

 Abstract

Historically, plants have shown great promise in the treatment of diseases and have been a source of inspiration for novel drug compounds. There has been considerable public and scientific interest in the use of phytochemicals derived from dietary components to combat human diseases. Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) is the shining star among the cornucopia of traditional medicinal plants. Since 1970, when curcumin first attracted the interest of scientific medical researchers, studies have reported its suppressive effects on various medical conditions, including high serum cholesterol levels, free radical damage to tissues, diabetic cataracts, diabetic damage to pancreatic insulin-producing cells, diabetic wounds, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, psoriasis, cancer, atherosclerosis, inherited peripheral neuropathies, liver damage caused by chemicals and drugs, and microbial infections. Curcumin also shows especially exciting prospects for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and cystic fibrosis. The main aim of this work is to conduct phytochemical screening for the presence of major secondary metabolites, physicochemical parameters, and curcumin content in turmeric. Using a combination of solvent extraction, chromatography, and spectroscopic techniques, we systematically separated and identified the total curcuminoids and turmerones from turmeric root. The extraction was optimized for maximum yield and purity. The isolated curcuminoids, primarily consisting of curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin, were quantified using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Turmerones, including ar-turmerone, ?-turmerone, and ?-turmerone, were isolated and identified through Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The results highlight the efficiency of the applied methods and provide a robust approach for the extraction of these valuable bioactive compounds. This study not only contributes to the understanding of turmeric's phytochemical profile but also supports its potential therapeutic applications in pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals.

 Abstract

Organizational success hinges on the performance and satisfaction of its employees, with leadership styles, job satisfaction, and related factors playing pivotal roles. The literature review synthesizes empirical findings from various studies to elucidate the complex relationships between leadership, job satisfaction, and organizational performance. Saharso and Fadilah (2024) highlight the influence of transformational leadership, work environment, and job satisfaction on employee performance. Qaralleh et al. (2023) emphasize the positive correlation between job resources and job satisfaction among physicians. Setiawan et al. (2024) underscore the impact of leadership styles on employee performance. However, Cendiawan and Indradewa (2024) suggest an indirect effect of transformational leadership on employee performance through job satisfaction. Sjahruddin et al. (2024) and Ernawati and Abadi (2024) emphasize the role of employee engagement and organizational support in enhancing performance. The research methodology involves a comprehensive literature review, identifying relevant articles, and conducting thematic analysis. The research framework explores the relationships between leadership style, job satisfaction, and organizational performance, underpinned by Social Exchange Theory. The framework posits leadership style and job satisfaction as critical independent variables, impacting organizational performance through employee engagement, work climate, and commitment. Theoretical gaps include the need to explore lesser-studied leadership styles, the impact of digital transformation, and cultural factors. Future research should focus on integrating multiple leadership styles, considering contextual factors, and adopting a holistic approach to performance metrics. In conclusion, this study contributes valuable insights for organizational leaders and managers seeking to optimize employee satisfaction and drive organizational success. By fostering supportive work environments that enhance employee engagement and commitment, organizations can achieve sustainable performance outcomes.

 Abstract

Highway Pavement structures frequently fail to reach their intended design life due to factors such as poor construction material quality, inadequate compaction, suboptimal subgrade preparation, and overloading. Addressing this challenge, two primary methods are considered in pavement design to enhance longevity: increasing the thickness of pavement layers or augmenting the rigidity of these layers to diminish stress transmission to lower layers. The latter method, increasing layer strength and rigidity, has been identified as a more effective strategy for extending pavement life. This research focuses on the enhancement of the sub-base layer's strength and stiffness in a flexible pavement system through the application of geocell confinement. This project endeavours to investigate the multifaceted aspects of pavement engineering with a primary focus on the incorporation of geocells as a potential solution. The research contextualizes the performance of highway pavements, which largely depends on the strength and stiffness of their layers. With the construction phase often constrained by the availability and cost of aggregate materials, and considering the increasing scarcity of natural resources leading to project delays and cost escalations, the study underscores the necessity of exploring alternative materials and methods. By utilizing geocells, the research proposes a sustainable approach to pavement design, aiming to achieve enhanced pavement quality with reduced reliance on natural materials, thereby addressing both economic and environmental concerns in pavement construction and maintenance.

 Abstract

The COVID pandemic was declared a public health emergency of international concern on January 30th, 2020. It later went on to be declared a pandemic on March 11th, 2020. A pandemic is a spread of a disease that has affected many people in different countries and continents. Post 11th March unexpected things happened like a complete shutdown of regular activities such as schools, colleges, offices. During this time, a lot of industries had to re-examine their working norms, they faced major difficulties for just staying put. Considering the post pandemic world, things have changed dramatically. If we compare it to the pre-pandemic world, especially in reference to the IT industry, the working norms have changed in a humongous manner. This is primarily due to the fact that working from home is easier in this industry than in any other. Many companies have claimed a significant increase in revenue when people started working from home. In this situation, when a lot of things change, the functioning of the management and employee expectations also change. There must be a common ground where both employee and employer can work in harmony to increase productivity and provide an amicable working environment for all. The focus of the recovery is not only the revenue generation, but it's also important to analyse the impact it had. Many things have improved for the better, including employee behaviour, working norms, and a focus on health. This research study focuses on understanding the impact of the pandemic on employee engagement, the issues and challenges faced by the employees and the companies because of sudden and prolonged work from home. The study suggests ways to improve employee retention and new management techniques incorporated in IT industry post pandemic. The findings show the impact of sudden work from home. It was most amicably accepted and adapted by folks working in the IT industry. The companies were able to accommodate the work from home policies. Initially, it enhanced the performance, deliveries, and productivity. Later, when people got used to working from home, companies had to revamp the policies to accommodate more flexibility. The study highlights that virtual engagements, investing in employee growth, giving growth opportunities, and incorporating frequent check-ins are likely to help employee retention and create a healthier working environment specially post pandemic. Mid approach between work from office and work from home is "hybrid" mode of working which is preferred by both employees and employers as per the results. This creates better working norms for both employees and employers working in the IT sector.

Aim: To assess the impact of taking proper breaks while working on digital devices in reducing the digital eye strain. Methodology: This was a questionnaire-based prospective study determining the role of taking proper breaks and the role of daily reminders in enhancing patient compliance and in-turn reducing digital eye strains. The study examines compliance variations with the 20-20 rule in two distinct groups, Group-I (Subjects who got daily reminders) and Group-II (Subjects who did not get any reminders). The occurrence of symptoms related to digital eye strains were also compared between the subjects in the two groups and from baseline. Result: The analysis reveals that Group-II exhibits a notably higher forgetfulness rate (60%) compared to Group-I (28%), implying a greater tendency to overlook the 20-20 rule. This discrepancy underscores the potential influence of awareness on adherence, as Group-I's lower forgetfulness rate suggests heightened attentiveness to the rule. Conclusion: A significant proportion of respondents were not aware of the 20-20 rule and do not actively implement it. Making the patients aware about proper visual break practices can significantly reduce digital eye strain prevalence. From the data, it seems that both Group-1 and Group-2 generally have lower symptom prevalence compared to the Baseline group. However, Group-2 tends to have higher symptom prevalence compared to Group-1 indicating that reminders may play an important role in reduction in symptoms of digital eye strain. The data suggests a discrepancy in compliance with the 20-20 rule between the two groups, highlighting the importance of reminders in getting better compliance. Practically, these results could inform targeted interventions, focusing on raising awareness among Group-II individuals to mitigate forgetfulness.

 Abstract

Hyperandrogenism and persistent anovulation are two characteristics of the complex condition known as polycystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS).6% to 20% of women in their reproductive years may be impacted, depending on the diagnostic criteria. Early in the pubertal years is when PCOS symptoms first appear. Period irregularities, anovulation, and acne are features of both PCOS and normal female pubertal development. Because of the intricately entwined pathophysiology, identifying the causative factors is difficult. Most clinical data that are now accessible include findings and results for adult females. Different diagnostic criteria have been established for PCOS in teenage girls, while the Rotterdam criteria are recognized for adult women. Menstrual irregularity ,clinical hyperandrogenism, and/or hyper androgenemia are diagnostic features for teenage girls. It is not necessary to use the results of a pelvic ultrasound to diagnose PCOS in teenage girls. Teenagers exhibiting the clinical indicators of androgen excess and oligomenorrhoea/amenorrhoea-two characteristics of PCOS-can be considered" at risk for PCOS" even in the absence of a formal diagnosis. Education, measures promoting a healthy lifestyle, and therapy aimed at symptom relief are all part of the management of PCOS, for both individuals at risk and those with a diagnosis that has been established. Metformin, combination oral contraceptive pills, spironolactone, and topical therapies for acne and hirsutism are examples of interventions. Management should involve planned transitions to adult care providers and routine follow-up visits in addition to screening for related comorbidities. A thorough understanding of the pathophysiology of PCOS will allow for the early detection of girls who are highly predisposed to the disease. Appropriate therapy interventions when implemented on time will enhance quality of life, reduce related comorbidities, and improve overall management of PCOS during adolescence.

As a means to resolve the Tribal Voice in India, the centrality of the Fifth and Sixth Schedules of the Indian Constitution is widely acknowledged. However, their final incorporation, despite intense nationalist opposition in the run-up to Indian Independence, remains historically unexplained. This article addresses this lacuna by reconstructing the circumstances under which the Indian National Congress came to accept scheduling as a viable method of providing protection to Tribal Communities. This strategic shift can be explained as a result of combined political pressures generated by communist-led tribal movements and a steadily mounting challenge heralded by a new stream of educated middle-class tribal activists in eastern India. Foremost among the latter was Jaipal Singh Munda who mobilized a large constituency of supporters demanding a separate province of Jharkhand. Taken together, there is enough evidence to prove that in the period 1937-1950, the tribes were not silent and their collective agency had a deep impact on the constitution-making process. Finally, the article argues that this period witnessed a significant change in the character of the Congress as erstwhile freedom-fighters turned into ruling elites.

Soaps are essential for maintaining our hygiene and health because they eliminate dirt from the body in addition to having bactericidal properties. Our study's objective was to create herbal soap using the melt-and-pour technique. The purpose of this research is to create an antibacterial polyherbal bath soap using some of the antibacterial qualities of herbal plant extracts. In this review, we looked at the various herbal plants that are used to make soap that has antibacterial, antifungal, and antibacterial properties. Many naturally occurring herbal plants contain a range of chemical components that are used in cosmetic preparations. Because they have a high activity level and no negative effects, herbal cosmetics are particularly significant. Fungi is the most common type of skin infection in humans, and it requires special care to keep the skin healthy and to heal. A specific type of soap called soap is used to treat different fungal infections. Both conventional herbal remedies, such as plant extracts or herbal oils, and allopathic medications can be used to treat these infections. It aids with acne and pimple prevention, skin brightening, softening, and smoothing, and skin polishing, replenishing, and rejuvenation. In this review, we looked at various herbal plants that have antifungal, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties, including turmeric, guava, banana, and mango leaves, as well as Aloe Vera and Tulsi. Because of their antibacterial and antifungal properties, all of these herbal remedies are highly regarded and well-known in Ayurveda. People are most commonly affected by fungal skin infections, which need careful attention both during treatment and in order to maintain healthy skin. On Candida albicans, Azadiracta indica, Aloe berbadendis, Curcuma longa, and Ocimum sanctum exhibit activity. Soap NoHerbal helps to address fungal skin infection issues. Antibacterial soaps clearly contain antibacterial agents that have the ability to either kill or inhibit bacteria. The majority of commercial soaps include ingredients that may be bad for your skin. It was determined what the formulations' physicochemical parameters were (pH, foaming ability, stability, and physical evaluation). The formulation had an excellent foaming index and a pH level that was almost identical to that of skin, according to the results.

Access to clean, safe water is essential for human health and well-being. Water quality in Chhattisgarh, a state in central India, has been a source of worry owing to industrial activity, agricultural runoff, and poor sanitation. This project will investigate the physiochemical and microbiological quality of water in various areas throughout Chhattisgarh, giving critical information on the overall water quality state. Physiochemical parameters such pH, turbidity, TDS, DO, BOD, COD, and heavy metal concentrations were investigated. Microbial tests were also performed to detect the presence of coliforms, Escherichia coli, and other infections. Water samples were collected, kept, and tested using predetermined processes. To capture water quality oscillations, samples were gathered from a range of sources, including rivers, ponds, wells, and tap water, throughout various seasons. Preliminary studies show considerable differences in physiochemical parameters and microbiological contamination levels between locales. Industrial and agricultural regions are highly polluted, including high levels of heavy metals and microbiological pollutants. These findings have significant consequences for both human health and the environment. Contaminated water sources increase the risk of waterborne infections, compromising community health and economic output. This comprehensive study of water quality in Chhattisgarh provides a foundation for policymakers, environmental agencies, and community stakeholders to develop targeted activities for water quality management and pollution reduction.

Land ownership in India has historical significance, with millions relying on land for livelihood. The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (LARR Act, 2013) ensures participative and transparent land acquisition, providing better compensation and rehabilitation for affected landowners. Historically, property rights in India were enshrined as fundamental rights under Articles 19(1)(f) and 31 of the Constitution. However, the 44th Amendment in 1978 reclassified these rights as constitutional rights under Article 300A, permitting compulsory acquisition for public purposes. The Supreme Court of India has upheld fair compensation as essential, recognizing property rights as both constitutional and human rights. Key rulings, such as Kesavananda Bharati v. State of Kerala, have balanced public necessity with individual rights. This evolution highlights the importance of just compensation and rehabilitation in land acquisition.

 Abstract

There is a growing need to evaluate potential planning approaches from an economic vantage point due to increasing demands on healthcare funding. Concerned individuals, groups, non-governmental organizations, volunteer agencies, and people's organizations--representing the entire community but notably the poor, whose rights and privileges have been seized by an exploitative class that controls the political and economic power--must take the lead in the struggle. The need to rationalize health care finance has given rise to a number of new models, including local health cooperatives, partial health insurance coverage, limited partnerships, joint ventures, health cess, public-private cost sharing, and taxable and tax-exempt bond financing. Immediate action is required to address financial concerns and explore significant alternatives. Medical treatment and its financing are about to undergo a sea shift as a result of current trends in the health care industry. Sufficient medical services in a budget-conscious market have been gaining prominence, rather than high quality at any cost. Government and corporate participation in health care decision-making may moderate high-tech and high-finance options.

The banking system claims that everyone's primary source of income comes from loans. A bank's primary source of revenue is, therefore, loans. One of the greatest threats to a bank's viability and profitability in today's cutthroat market is the difficulty of accurately assessing the risk associated with a loan application. Many individuals visit different banks every day to seek for loans. Every applicant does not get approval. Most banks utilize their risk assessment and credit scoring systems to determine whether or not to approve a customer's loan application. Getting a loan approved is a tedious process for bank employees. A more efficient, accurate, and quick loan approval procedure is possible with the use of modern technologies like machine learning models. Predicting whether or not a borrower will get a loan is an important yet long-standing problem for the financial services sector. Historically, banks and other lenders relied on manual processes and subjective criteria to evaluate loan applications, which often led to inconsistent decisions and increased risk of loan defaults. With the rise of ML algorithm, there is now an opportunity to create more accurate and reliable predictive models that can help financial institutions make better lending decisions. This research uses ML techniques to identify trends in a shared dataset of loan-eligible individuals. The dataset is prepared by performing exploratory data analysis and data balancing. The explored algorithms include Cat Boost, Gradient boosting and XGBoost. Preprocessing data, selecting features, balancing data, training and testing, classification, and comparing performance using accuracy and precision as classification metrics are the main goals of the project. Recall and f1-score. Following Gradient Boost Classifier (86.39%) and XGBoost (84.61%), the results reveal that Cat Boost Classifier had the greatest accuracy at 88.16%. The findings show that ML algorithms have the ability to make loan approvals better and decrease the likelihood of defaults.

 Abstract

People are sociable animals. To succeed in life, we require the company of others, and the quality of our relationships has a profound effect on our happiness and mental health. Maintaining social connections with others can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression; increase self-esteem; bring comfort and joy; avoid loneliness; and even lengthen one's life. Conversely, having few close social ties can be extremely harmful to your mental and emotional well-being. According to data from 2021, people spend an average of 142 minutes a day on social media platforms worldwide. That is more than two hours a day spent absorbing information that may influence our opinions, mental health, and general mood in a favourable or unfavourable way. Therefore, it is critical that we figure out how to make sure that there is a tonne of optimism in our news feeds. In essence, the amount of time we spend on social media greatly influences how we are affected by it. Being social beings, humans may spend more time interacting with one another in the modern world over a brief Facebook post or in response to a "story." Even while digital communication offers advantages, it is crucial that we develop relationships through face-to-face conversation. Overusing our phones to experience life can have a seriously negative impact on our mental health. In light of this, it's imperative that we reevaluate our online behaviours in order to move towards a more positive mindset and way of life. Social pressures and developmental obstacles can be present throughout childhood and adolescence. Social media can exacerbate mental health conditions such as anxiety, sadness, bullying, and low self-esteem in certain children. It may be tempting to just take away your child's phone or other gadget if you're concerned about how they're using social media. However, that can lead to more issues by cutting off your youngster from their peers and the advantages of social media. Alternatively, there exist alternative methods to assist your child in utilising Facebook, Instagram, and additional sites responsibly.

During COVID-19, quick advancements were made in the field of vaccines, which brought about the growth of several controversies about the safety of vaccines. Under the shadow of those controversies, we hypothesize that those who took vaccines could be higher risk takers and more pro-social as they took the vaccine decision to protect themselves and others. This study helps us determine "The Risk-taking Behaviour, Prosocial Behaviour, and Vaccination Hesitancy among Adults Who Took the Second and Booster Dose of the COVID-19 Vaccine". Purposive sampling was used to collect responses from 313 persons aged 18 to 40 on the vaccination hesitancy scale, prosocialness scale, and risk-taking scale, respectively. We conducted descriptive statistics, Spearman's correlation, the Mann-Whitney U test, and regression analysis. Results showed that there was no significant relationship between vaccine hesitancy and various doses of vaccines, and also no relationship between vaccine hesitancy and prosociality among adults who took multiple doses of vaccines; Interestingly, there was a negative relationship between vaccine hesitancy and risk-taking behaviour among adults who took various doses of vaccines. There was a negative relationship between vaccine hesitancy and the first dose; there is no significant relationship between vaccine hesitancy and subsequent vaccine doses.

The seed of a multipurpose plant of pharmacological interest is flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum L.), whose mucilage can be utilized as a natural matrix to create dosage forms with longer release and possibly replace synthetic polymers.The high concentration of ?-linolenic acid (ALA, omega-3 fatty acid), lignans, and fiber found in flaxseed is making it a popular addition in functional foods.Flaxseed may enhance the blood sugar-lowering benefits of several diabetes medications and may also lower blood sugar levels, according to some research. Blood sugar levels falling too low is a worry. Pay special attention to your blood sugar levels if you use flaxseed and have diabetes.According to some, it's among the planet's most potent plant-based foods. Using a cheap, naturally occurring flax seed polymer that is safe for use in fast-dissolving films is the goal of this work. The concept of Fast dissolving drug delivery system offers a solution for those patients having difficulty in swallowing tablets/capsules etc.This work investigated the possibility of developing rapid dissolving films allowing fast, reproducible drug dissolution in the oral cavity. Fast mouth dissolving thin film is a solid dosage form, which disintegrate or dissolve within 1 min when placed in the mouth without drinking of water or chewing. Oral film includes various ingredients for its formulation which includes polymers, active pharmaceutical ingredient, sweeteners, saliva stimulating agents, disintegration agent, plasticizer etc . but the first and far most a very essential ingredient which helps in film formation is a Polymer. Fast dissolving Film is prepared using hydrophilic polymers that rapidly dissolves on the tongue or buccal cavity, delivering the drug to the systemic circulation via dissolution when contact with liquid is made. Water-soluble polymers are used as film formers for fast dissolving films. Our current work is designed to manufacture oral thin films (the mouth dissolving film of domperidone) using the solvent casting method, taking into consideration the aforementioned factors. Using this procedure, an aqueous solution was created by dissolving HPMC in 25 milliliters of distilled water, and it was left for an hour to eliminate any trapped air bubbles. Afterwards, the mixed solution was placed on a petri dish and allowed to dry for a whole day at room temperature. Once the film had dried, it was carefully taken out of the petri dish, sliced into 2x2 sq cm strips, and stored in a desiccator. A innovative strategy to increasing consumer acceptance is the use of oral thin films of domperidone, which have several advantages such as quick disintegration, water-free self-administration, a high percentage of the drug, and a long mucoadhesion time.

There is a thin difference between people who work voluntarily and one who are taken advantage by an employer in a contractual agreement. NITI Aayog had evaluated around 47% of the gig work is in medium skilled jobs, about 22% in high skilled and about 31% in low skilled jobs on a study "India's Booming Gig and Platform Economy" the trending example of the gig workers are the startups like Swiggy, Zomato, Ola and Uber. These startups are the main source of providing gig workers in Indian economy. In research studies by Boston Consulting Group (BCG) have indicated that participation in the gig economy is higher in developing countries (5- 12%) versus developed economies (1-4 percent). Abundance of these jobs are in kind of job with limited- income such as ridesharing, delivery person, wellness, caretakers and microtasks. The paper discusses various notion relating to social rights and protection related to gig workers. Also, in this paper we will analyze the legal frame work of gig workers around the globe. The rise in change of traditional workers to the gig workers create the need for proper legislative rights and authority to hear the problems and provide the solution for the gig workers with the dynamic change in the world. On one side the employers of online platform companies like Amazone, Flipkart, Swiggy and Zomato are in benefits, as they can easily appoint, transfer or dismiss the gig workers as per to their wish on the other hand, gig workers are in drawback as they are not considered permanent employees like any other employees under Indian contract act nor they are provided with any benefits like any other permanent employees in a company. Hence this paper discusses various variability of the gig workers in today's world.

This empirical study conducts a comprehensive ratio analysis to evaluate the financial performance of Bosch Ltd over a five-year period, with reference to Suman and Co as a benchmark. The analysis covers liquidity ratios, profitability ratios, leverage ratios, and other key financial metrics to gain insights into Bosch's financial health and resilience. The findings reveal a nuanced picture of Bosch's performance, highlighting both strengths and areas for improvement. One of the key findings of the study is a slight decline in Bosch's current ratio over the five-year period. This decline suggests potential liquidity challenges for the company, indicating a decreased ability to cover short-term liabilities with current assets. Such findings emphasize the importance of closely monitoring liquidity ratios to ensure the company's ability to meet its short-term obligations efficiently. Moreover, significant fluctuations in Bosch's net profit ratio were observed during the study period. These fluctuations underscore the importance of closely monitoring profitability factors and implementing strategies to maintain or improve profitability levels. By understanding the drivers behind these fluctuations, Bosch can better manage its resources and operations to enhance overall profitability. Additionally, the study identifies a decreasing trend in Bosch's quick ratio over the five-year period. The quick ratio, which excludes inventory from current assets, highlights the company's ability to meet short-term liabilities using its most liquid assets. The decreasing trend in this ratio underscores the need for Bosch to optimize its inventory management practices and implement effective liquidity strategies to maintain financial health. Despite these challenges, Bosch maintains a generally healthy liquidity position and stable capital structure. The study acknowledges the company's resilience in navigating through financial challenges and highlights its ability to maintain financial stability over the years. Based on the findings, the study proposes several recommendations for Bosch to enhance its financial performance and resilience. These recommendations include continued monitoring of financial metrics, targeted strategies to address weaknesses identified in the analysis, and leveraging strengths to capitalize on growth opportunities. Furthermore, benchmarking against industry standards, such as Suman and Co, is recommended to provide valuable insights for informed decision-making and strategic planning.
