This study, titled "A Study on the Impact of Cashless Transactions on Financial Behavior," investigates how the growing use of cashless payments influences financial habits across different demographic groups. The primary objective is to assess the impact of cashless payments on spending and saving behaviors. The research also explores public perception of cashless payments in economic contexts, examines associated financial behaviors, and identifies barriers and challenges that hinder broader adoption, such as security concerns and limited merchant acceptance. A descriptive research design was employed, utilizing surveys distributed via Google Forms to a diverse sample, primarily targeting individuals aged 18-25 with varied educational backgrounds and a balanced gender distribution. The results reveal that the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) is the most preferred cashless payment method, with a significant portion of respondents engaging in daily transactions. While many respondents reported increased spending due to the convenience of cashless payments, the impact on saving habits was mixed. Additionally, security risks and the limited acceptance of electronic payments by some merchants were identified as key barriers. The study's findings provide valuable insights into the changing financial behaviors driven by cashless transactions and highlight strategies to overcome the identified challenges for broader adoption.

This study focused on the impact of coaching and mentoring on women's advancement in leadership roles, an increasingly important topic in both organizational and societal discussions. Coaching and mentoring provide personalized support to enhance women's leadership skills by tackling specific challenges and nurturing their strengths. The goal was to promote sustainable growth, resilience, and adaptability in women's evolving roles. Leadership development required a shift from short-term wins to a more comprehensive, strategic perspective, which can significantly influence both personal and organizational success. By utilizing approaches like VIA strengths, addressing Imposter Syndrome and Unconscious Bias, and employing techniques such as job crafting, negotiation, and creative visualization, the study aimed to facilitate a mindset shift. It explored how coaching and mentoring contributed to leadership growth among women. Additionally, the study sought to cultivate a growth mindset and a more strategic perspective in the 15 women who participated.

 Abstract

Diabetes foot ulcers represent the first cause of hospitalization in diabetics and a significant cause of health care costs (more than 20%-40% of health care resources have been reported as related to diabetes-related foot care). According World Health Organization, its' possible encompass all foot complications in the term diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) that has been defined as "ulceration of the foot (distally from the ankle and including the ankle) associated with neuropathy and different grades of ischemia and infection". These foot vascular complications represent a very common precursor event prior of lower extremity amputation among persons with diabetes. Thus, it explains that the foot ulcerations are considered as significantly predictive of morbidity, mortality, and disability in the world as well as in Bangladesh.However, the present study has conducted to determine the level of patients' knowledge towards diabetes foot ulcer, to identify the factors associated with different level of knowledge and practices of foot ulcer and to examine the relationship between patients' knowledge & practices towards diabetes foot ulcer. This study was a non-experimental descriptive type of cross-sectional study. It was used to examine the patients' knowledge and practices regarding diabetes foot ulcer. This study was conducted two public hospitals, one is Khulna medical college hospital and another one is diabetes hospital in Khulna. The target populations of this study were patients' who were admitted in hospital. A total 220 patients employed in surgical ward and dressing room of outpatient department (OPDs) who are directly involve in diabetes wound care management for more than 6 months will be recruit for the study. The participation will be entirety voluntary. Simple random sampling was used for data collection. Data were collected from primary and secondary sources. Primary data were collected from the respondent of the study area. Secondary data were collected from the secondary sources. The data collection tools were divided into three parts. Part one was patients' Demographic Data Form; Part two were patients' Knowledge regarding foot ulcer questionnaire; and Part three were Practice regarding foot ulcer questionnaire. The questionnaires were hand deliver to ensure a higher response rate. The complete questionnaires were collected on the same day within 4 hours of distribution to improve data quality. The investigators were checking all questions for completeness. Data were analyzed by using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21. From the result it was found that poor glycemic control, inappropriate foot care and smoking as important risk factors of diabetic foot ulcer. The study revealed that residence, level of education, occupation, number of family members and monthly family expenditure were significantly different between cases and controls. It was that most of the component parts of foot care were significantly associated with development of diabetic foot ulcer. Neither duration of foot examination at home nor presence of any foot complications before diabetes made any significant difference between the two groups for the development of diabetic foot ulcer. Smoking habit, early start of smoking along with increased duration was significantly associated with development of diabetic foot ulcer. Level of HbA1c, measuring indicator for glycaemic status of the respondent in this study, was found significantly varied between the two study groups for the development of diabetic foot ulcer along with other influencing factors like types of diabetic management, regularity of treatment, exercise habit and food habit. Confounders like serum lipoproteins, BMI of the respondent and other diabetic complications were found insignificant except diabetic neuropathy. A physician can play the most vital role by giving proper foot care education to the diabetic individuals about the risk factors and how to prevent them and early diagnosis of the problem along with prompt treatment to decrease the burden.The government should allocate adequate resources and manpower to prevent or minimize the problem before it becomes out of control. As it is not possible to reverse the situation once this foot ulcer has been established, diabetic patients must be careful about the possible risk factors of diabetic foot ulcer.

 Abstract

Ayurvedic dosage forms hold a unique place in pharmaceutics and therapeutics. Kashtaushadhis are predominantly plant - based drugs that are used in the preparation of medicines and are mainly dealt with under the subject of Bhaishajya Kalpana. Among the various categories of kashtaushadhi formulations, Kwatha kalpana is the one which is a widely used dosage form. Sharangdhar Samhita highlights the importance of combining different herbs in a particular proportion to minimize toxicity and increase therapeutic efficacy. Reference of Pathyadi Kwath is found in Sharangdhar Samhita and it is indicated in Urdhvajatrugat vyadhi. Kashaya or Kwath is a widely used Kalpana in the treatment of many disorders. However,the shelf life of kashaya is very less. It also becomes a less preferred form by patients due to its bitter taste, difficult transportation and tedious preparation. To overcome these problems, Granules prepared from Kwath using Guda will be a better solution. Thus, the Pathyadi Kwath can be converted into a new dosage form i. e. Granules, which could be easy to carry and palatable form with increased shelf life.This study aims at conceptual study of Pathyadi Kwath Granules as a new dosage form of Pathyadi Kwath and to know its physicochemical properties. In present study, review of Pathyadi Kwath and granules has been done. Also the necessary physico-chemical tests to be carried out for Granules are reviewed. This study would be beneficial for preparing Granules of Pathyadi Kwath effectively.
