Abstract

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.

 Abstract

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. Watershed management, industrial effluent treatment, and public awareness campaigns are essential measures for conserving water resources and ensuring that all Chhattisgarh residents have access to clean drinking water

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.

 Abstract

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.

They are found across every industry. The employers in gig economy provide flexibility in work life, balance in work and lifestyle and freedom to choose the gigs and profiles they are interested in where one after the other the gig employees are provided with little or no health or retirement benefits, tax complexities and non-remunerated business expenses also it saves company resources like office space, training programme and company benefits. 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.

 Abstract

The thermal performance of a slab refers to its ability to resist heat transfer. By improving the insulation properties of the slab, we can reduce heat loss, which can lead to energy savings and increased comfort. By incorporating GGBS (Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag) and pumice stone into the concrete mix of the hollow slab, we can significantly improve its thermal performance. GGBS is a byproduct of the iron and steel industry and is known for its high thermal resistance and low thermal conductivity. Pumice stone, on the other hand, is a lightweight and porous volcanic rock that provides excellent insulation properties. The combination of GGBS and pumice stone helps to reduce heat transfer through the slab, making it more energy-efficient. This can lead to lower energy consumption for heating and provide higher cooling purposes in buildings. A hollow slab is a type of concrete slab that contains voids or hollow spaces within its cross-section. It is filled with a cavity refers to a type of construction where the slab has voids or hollow spaces within its cross-section. These cavities can be created using various methods, such as using precast hollow blocks or forming voids during the casting process. This design helps reduce the weight of the slab while maintaining its structural integrity. It's often used in buildings to achieve longer spans and decrease material usage. Thermocouple testing in concrete slabs is a great way to identify temperature variations. By placing thermocouples at different points on the slab, you can measure and monitor the temperature changes over time. This helps in evaluating the thermal performance and identifying any potential areas of concern. It's an effective method to ensure the desired temperature control and optimize energy efficiency. By monitoring temperature changes using thermocouples will provide valuable data to assess the success of your experiment and optimize thermal performance. It's an exciting project that combines energy efficiency, sustainability, and improved comfort in building design. This data will provide valuable insights into the thermal performance of the slab and the effectiveness of using GGBS and pumice stone in enhancing insulation properties. It's an essential step in evaluating the success and achieving energy-efficient and sustainable building practices.

It is becoming more widely acknowledged that spirituality and decision-making processes interact and have an impact on mental health. This abstract investigates how spirituality affects mental health and decision-making. A moral compass and increased meaning in decisions are two ways that spirituality, which is frequently associated with values, beliefs, and purpose, can direct decision-making. People who have a solid spiritual foundation typically have higher levels of resilience, coping skills, and psychological health in general. Additionally, spirituality cultivates a sense of interconnectedness that may impact decisions made regarding prosocial and altruistic actions. On the other hand, tension and cognitive dissonance can result from decisions that contradict spiritual beliefs. Developing holistic approaches to personal development and psychological interventions requires an understanding of the subtleties of spirituality's influence on mental health and decision-making.

The concept of a Uniform Civil Code has been discussed in our nation since independence. While some advocate for its implementation, arguing that it would unify the population and eliminate discriminatory personal practices, the issue is multifaceted. Implementing such a code could potentially suppress diversity and enforce what may seem like 'progressive' ideas onto a population perceived as 'backward.' When it comes to matters of religion, legal imposition often fails if the desire for change does not arise from within the community. Trying to rationalize personal faith is challenging. However, this does not justify hiding behind claims of diversity and religious freedom to justify outrageous customs. It is essential for both the courts and the government to intervene to safeguard fundamental rights in such situations. Nevertheless, in areas where personal beliefs are deeply ingrained, court rulings might not effectively alter perceptions. In our nation, many people strongly identify with their religion, and personal law plays a significant role in their religious identity. This vulnerability makes people highly prone to disruptions. I will endeavour to assess the feasibility of implementing a Uniform Civil Code in India and explore its potential repercussions. This assessment will be based on considerations of practicality and morality. Additionally, I will examine how individuals respond when there are attempts to alter deeply held beliefs by referencing the case of the Sabarimala temple entry. Can the Supreme Court dictate how religions should manage their affairs? If so, under what circumstances? These inquiries, along with others, will be addressed by referencing case studies, Supreme Court judgments, and scholarly opinions.
