Herbal cosmetics are products intended to enhance and beautify human appearance. To nourish and moisturize the skin, the current study set out to formulate and evaluate herbal cold creams that contained plant extracts, liquid paraffin as a lubricating agent, beeswax as a stabilizer, and methylparaben as an antibacterial agent by using the water in oil method. The cold cream is prepared by using the neem oil and almond oil. After the preparation of the cream, the cream was evaluated for different parameters like appearance, PH, viscosity, stability test, dye test, spreadability, and test for microbial growth. From the evaluation study, it was concluded that it is a very good attempt to formulate the herbal face pack containing naturally available ingredients like neem and almond. It was also concluded that the prepared formulation was physico-chemically and microbiologically stable, and possessed characteristics of a standard cosmeceutical formulation for skincare.

 Abstract

Cardiovascular and respiratory diseases are major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly in regions with limited access to healthcare resources. Early detection of these diseases can significantly improve patient outcomes. In this study, we propose a lightweight machine learning model for accurate diagnosis of cardiac and respiratory abnormalities. The project aims to address the challenges associated with the scarcity of trained medical professionals and expensive diagnostic equipment in resource-constrained settings. Key steps include data collection, preprocessing, feature extraction, model development, validation, hardware integration, user interface design, clinical trials, regulatory approval, deployment, and continuous improvement. By implementing this approach, we anticipate significant advancements in early disease detection and improved healthcare accessibility in underserved communities.

 Abstract

Building and Engineering functional systems at the atomic level is known as nanotechnology, which is an emerging field of study centered on the manipulation of matter on a nanoscale scale. Numerous innovative drug delivery systems, including liposomes, microparticles, niosomes, a nd proniosomes, have been developed as a result of nanotechnology. Liposomes and niosomes possess certain drawbacks, such as the ability to leak, fuse, aggreg ate, distribute, transport, and store. Proniosomes are a dry formulation of water soluble carrier coated with surfactant and drug e ncapsulated in proniosomal vesicles, which helps prolong the duration of retention of drug in systemic circulation and by reaching the target tissue shows its action which results in reduc ed toxicity. This helps overcome the drawbacks of both liposomes and niosomes. The primary focus of this review is the drawbacks of niosomes and liposomes.

 Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic affected all aspects of life. The news media, in the process of bringing news to our home also witnessed serious blood bath in the form of massive retrenchment, drastic and sudden pay cuts, closing down of editions and sometimes even the entire newspaper. Ironically, the job loss and other related issues rarely find space in the news that is fed to us every day. The reporters and the camera men are also facing other challenges while reporting in the field. Many of them were out in the field reporting on the unprecedented movement of the migrant population post Covid-19 lockdown. Many of the journalists/ media workers contracted Covid-19 in the process. The apathy that the news organizations indulged in is horrific. Another issue plaguing the media industry, is the reporters and camera men being booked under many draconian sections as well as rampant attack on the journalists while they were reporting. Communal polarization of the newsrooms has affected the credibility of many journalists. This paper will attempt to contextualize the challenges faced by the media workers and its future implication for the media industry. The paper will analyze the secondary data available in the public domain and ratify those with interviews of eminent journalists who were directly affected by pandemic.

There's a famous quote by our First Prime Minister Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru in which he said the following ``You can tell the condition of a nation by looking at the status of its women''.

 Abstract

The present paper aims at tracing the existential approach in Girish Karnad's prominent plays. Girish Karnad was a modern playwright, who influenced the writing of western philosophical theory that expressed modern Indian society problems. He presented these dilemmas and problems in his plays deliberately. Existentialism is a contemporary twentieth-century philosophical movement that succeeded after the dreadful Second World War, basically it addresses the problems of individual human existence, which searches for our identity and meaning of life through our actions. Existentialism presents a philosophy of hope, ecstasy and exultation. It insists that philosophy should be connected with an individual's own life and experience. The promoters of existentialism philosophers are Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, Heidegger, Gabriel Marcel, and many more who have defined existentialism in their works. Inspired by them, Girish Karnad, an Indian English dramatist, started developing and taking out the theme of existentialism in his writings and creations. So, the present paper will mainly focus on the reflection of existentialism and the presentation of existential dilemmas of modern Indian society in Girish Karnad's plays like Yayati, Tughlaq, Hayavadana and Nagamandala.
