 Abstract

Voting is one of the most usually used terms in contemporary age of democratic politics. The ever increasing popularity of democratic theory and practices has even made this term a household name. In democratic systems, and their number is quite large and ever increasing, each adult citizen uses 'voting' as a means for expressing his approval or disapproval of governmental decisions, policies and programmers of various political parties and the qualities of the candidates who are engaged in the struggle to get the status of being the representatives of the people. The study of determinants of electoral behaviour constitutes a very significant area of empirical investigation. Man is a rational creature in the philosophical sense of term; he is not so rational in the realms of his economic or political behaviour. An empirical study of the determinants of electoral behaviour displays the amazing fact that the behaviour of man is influenced by several unreasonable factors and pressure groups in invoking religious and communal factors, influence of money or charismatic personality of a leader and host of other irrational forces have their definite influence on the minds of the voters. The main purpose of the present study is to focus attention on voting behaviour in India and to highlight the factors that determine the voting behaviour in India.

 Abstract

From ancient times, people all over the world have used camphor (Cinnamomumcamphora), which is derived from camphor's wood tree, as a cure for a ample variety of symptoms, including cough, inflammation, ingestion, infection, congestion, pain, and irritation. Studies on the bioactive extract's safety should be conducted. In India, about 70% of contemporary medications come from natural sources. In addition to serving as traditional medicines, medicinal plants also serve as important trade commodities, supplying far-off markets with what they need. With a long tradition it was used as an antibacterial, antipruritic, rubefacient, abortifacient, aphrodisiac, contraceptive, and location suppressant, camphor is well known to many people as a key component in topical home treatments for various kinds of sickness. Camphor was employed for a sanitation during the leishmaniosis (kala-azar) epidemic in the 1400's to stop the plague's spread over Europe. When cholera, smallpox, and influenza were on the rise in the 19th century, mothballs made of camphor were employed on the Indian subcontinent as a cough suppressant. Hahnemann, the creator of homoeopathy, presented his findings during the "flu pandemic" of the 18th century in Russia. Research on camphor and its proposed use as a "divine medicine" for influenza when administered in very small doses Camphor has historically been used in domestic cleansers, as a food flavouring, as a good fragrance in cosmetics, as a rubefacient for treating minor muscle aches discomfort, and as a popular ingredient in household cleaners. Camphor is utilised in a variety of commercial goods on the Indian market, including VapoRub with Vicks. It is used as a antiviral anticoccidial insecticidal antimicrobial anticancer, antinoceptive and antitussive properties define camphor physiologically. Additionally, it aids in skin penetration. However, camphor is a highly hazardous chemical, and there have been numerous reported occurrences of camphor poisoning.

 Abstract

Emergency vehicles are an essential part of modern-day society, and their timely arrival at the site of an emergency is crucial for saving lives. However, in urban areas, the traffic congestion often slows down the movement of emergency vehicles, leading to delayed arrival and loss of valuable time. The Intelligent Traffic Signal System is a solution that aims to reduce this delay by dynamically adjusting the traffic signal timings in response to the approaching emergency vehicles. This research paper discusses the design and implementation of an emergency vehicles using Arduino and Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. The system uses RFID tags installed on emergency vehicles, which are detected by the RFID reader installed at the traffic signal. The Arduino board processes the data received from the RFID reader and adjusts the traffic signal timings accordingly, providing a green signal for the emergency vehicle to pass through. The results show that the proposed system can significantly reduce the delay in emergency vehicle arrival time and improve the overall efficiency of the emergency response system.

 Abstract

People with Major Depressive Disorder have problems with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and inflammatory systems that do not go away. Common methods of gauging cortisol include measuring diurnal fluctuations and assessing the cortisol awakening response (CAR). Activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in certain people with severe depressive illness is one of the most robust and often seen discoveries in biological psychiatry. Some of these discoveries relevant to evaluating and treating depressed people will be discussed below. Understanding the cause and effects of HPA axis activation in depressed individuals will be a priority for future researchers. To add, there are drugs in development that target the HPA axis, which might one day be a standard component of a psychiatrist's or family doctor's toolkit for treating mental health issues. For a long, psychiatrists and neuroscientists have worked toward a deeper understanding of the biological roots of MDD and other mood disorders. The effects of neurotransmitters like norepinephrine and serotonin on major depressive disorder have been the subject of a great deal of research. There has also been research on the relationship between MDD and hormone levels and stress response.

 Abstract

Plant pots made out of recycled materials, such as discarded bicycle parts, offer a sustainable solution to reduce waste and promote eco-friendliness. These plant pots can be made from a variety of recycled materials, including metal frames, handlebars, rims, and pedals. By transforming these materials into plant pots, they can be given a new life and purpose while simultaneously reducing the amount of waste that would have otherwise ended up in landfills or oceans. Additionally, using recycled materials in the production of plant pots helps to conserve natural resources and reduces the need for virgin materials. In conclusion, plant pots made out of recycled materials are a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional plant pots, and can contribute to a more circular economy.

 Abstract

In a nutshell, Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a condition that results in the brain's cells dying. It is the leading cause of dementia, which is characterised by a loss of mental capacity and independence in daily tasks. The cholinergic and amyloid hypotheses were put up as the disease's two main causes. AD is thought to be a complex illness. Furthermore, the disease is influenced by a number of risk factors, including advancing age, genetic predispositions, head injuries, vascular conditions, infections, and environmental variables. There are currently only two kinds of pharmaceuticals that have been licenced to treat AD, namely cholinesterase enzyme inhibitors and N-methyl d-aspartate (NMDA) antagonists. These medications are only effective in treating the symptoms of AD; they do not treat the underlying cause of the disease.

 Abstract

The term "oxidative stress" refers to an imbalance in the body's antioxidant enzymes between free radicals and their stabilizing agents. Normal cellular metabolism can generate reactive oxygen species, also known as free radicals, which interact with biomolecules including protein, lipid, and DNA to harm cells and bring about deteriorative changes. Free radicals are essential for cellular communication and physiological control at low concentrations, but at excessive concentrations, they can harm cells. In contrast, antioxidants reduce oxidants by giving their own electron to stabilize free radicals and turn them into non-reactive compounds in order to reduce the negative effects that these radicals have on the cell. Chronic disorders including cancer, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, and cardiovascular diseases all have oxidative stress as a major contributor to their etiology. Increasing amounts of pro-oxidant substances over time might result in structural flaws at gene expression anomalies brought on by functional changes at the mitochondrial DNA level, as well as in a number of enzymes and cellular structures. The current way of life, which includes eating processed food, being exposed to a variety of chemicals, and not exercising, is a significant factor in the development of oxidative stress. However, the capacity of medicinal plants with antioxidant capabilities to cure or prevent a number of human illnesses in which oxidative stress appears to be a contributing factor has been utilized. The diseases that oxidative stress is one of the triggers for are discussed in this overview, along with the antioxidant chemicals obtained from plants and their processes of antioxidant defenses that can aid in the prevention of these diseases. The impacts of antioxidant compounds employed to lower oxidative stress in a number of pathological dysfunctions in both positive and negative conditions are finally reviewed.

Abstract: - On the 1st anniversary of the war between 2 European Nations Russia and Ukraine New Delhi has still maintained the stance of neutrality and wants others also to focus on other pressing issues and stick to pragmatic neutrality and push for practical solution to the crisis. This stance of India comes from its unquestioned faith in its time tested partnership with Russia and its ability to manage and keep good relations with USA which can be defined as "Estranged Democracies of the Cold War era into Comprehensive Global Strategic Partners of today." Also in the world order where international relations are dominated by realist approach and the only thing that matters for every country existing in this world are its sole national interest and their responsibility to protect the national sovereignty and integrity of the country.
