 Abstract

Ornamental fish exhibit a diverse array of mating systems, courtship behaviors, spawning techniques, and parental care practices as part of their reproductive strategies. This research aims to elucidate these behaviors to enhance the success of captive breeding, which is essential for both the aquarium industry and conservation initiatives. These fish display various mating systems, such as monogamy, polygamy, and promiscuity, each influencing courtship behaviors and reproductive outcomes in unique ways. Courtship often involves visual displays, intricate movements, and nest building to attract potential mates. Spawning methods vary significantly, from simply releasing eggs without further parental involvement to more complex behaviors like mouthbrooding and bubble nest creation. Parental care can range from complete absence to active participation by one or both parents, significantly impacting offspring survival rates. Environmental factors, including water quality, lighting, and food availability, are critical for successful reproduction. This study addresses the challenges of breeding ornamental fish in captivity, such as mate selection, breeding tank setup, and offspring management. Additionally, it explores the implications of genetic diversity and the study of animal behavior in relation to breeding practices. Gaining insights into these aspects of reproductive behavior in ornamental fish not only supports the maintenance of healthy captive populations but also strengthens conservation efforts in light of the threats facing these species.

 Abstract

Xanthenes, the oxygen containing heterocycles present as the basic scaffolds of various pharmacological active molecules like benzoxanthenes and xanthene-1,8(2H)-dione, exhibited a wide array of biological properties The structural features and important biological activities associated with these xanthene-1,8(2H)-dione have attracted chemists to discover various synthetic routes, therefore, a number of strategies are reported for the synthesis of compounds based on xanthene-1,8(2H)-dione. In this review article we have summarized various methods for the synthesis and biological activities of xanthene-1,8(2H)-dione based compounds.

 Abstract

The rapidly increasing disquietude about ecological degradation and the restricted availability of versatile, eco-friendly materials have fueled a surge in attentiveness for plant-based polymer composites, essentially obtained from woods. These composites, often termed "green," have widespread potential in countless industrial sectors. Green composites evince less environmental harm and can conceivably supersede petroleum-based polymeric substances. Conserving fossil fuel resources is facilitated by developing biopolymer matrices, such as cellulose-reinforced biocomposites, utilizing renewable resources like plant oils, carbohydrates, and proteins. This paper delves into the processing of green composites, leveraging an array of naturally occurring resources, sustainable materials that minimize environmental harm, recent scientific breakthroughs in achieving green sustainability, and the role of nanotechnology in environmental conservation. Furthermore, this study examines the environmental implications of diverse composite materials, their production from eco-friendly materials, and the manufacturing aspects of green composites, including associated concerns. The benefits of green composite materials and their validity as a viable alternative to traditional composite materials are also explored.

 Abstract

Toda embroidery, a distinctive handcraft practiced by Toda tribal community people of the Nilgiris in South India. Bold geometric patterns are used in this embroidery by using red and black colour threads, through analysis of motifs, colour symbolism and stitch structure this paper examines how painting serves as a bridge between traditional and modern visual expression. By transforming threads into brush strokes it opens a new avenues for cultural preservation and artistic innovation. This study is used for developing Toda embroidery through faster techniques.

 Abstract

This study explores the effects of Winman software in tax calculation, focusing on how key user-related factors contribute to performance outcomes and potential errors. Conducted over four months, the research utilizes primary data collected through a structured questionnaire. Analytical techniques include Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to examine both predictive and theoretical dimensions of human error. The MLP model revealed that years in the current role significantly impact error prediction, while age showed minimal influence. SEM analysis confirmed a strong positive relationship between accuracy and consistency, with model fit indices (CFI = 0.96, TLI = 0.92) indicating a reliable structure. By integrating neural and structural modeling, the study highlights the importance of user experience and system interaction in software-based tax computation. These findings offer valuable insights for improving training, minimizing errors, and enhancing the overall efficiency of tax-related tasks using Winman software.

 Abstract

The Ramayana is a story of everlasting interest. It has influenced the hearts and minds of millions of Hindus for countless ages; it has inspired them to high thinking, splendid effort and right conduct. Even today, there is hardly a hamlet in India where the Ramayana story is not told and expounded in Sanskrit, or in the vernacular language, to hundreds of men, women and children who listen to the discourse with rapt and rapturous attention. Apart from daily or occasional expositions, it no exaggeration to say that young children are fed by the folkwomen with the important events of the story together with their mother's milk. Romesh Chandra Dutt has rightly observed that 'there is not a Hindu woman, whose earliest and tenderest recollections do not cling round the story of Sita's sufferings and faithfulness, told in the nursery, taught in the family circle, remembered and cherished through life'. Referring to the two great epics of ancient India, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, Jawaharlal Nehru says in his 'Discovery of India' 'I do not know any book anywhere which has exercised such a continuous and pervasive influence on the mass mind as these two. Dating back to a remote antiquity, they are still a living force in the life of the Indian people'. We have Ranganatha Ramayanam by Gona Buddha Reddy, in which Rama's life and achievements figure prominently. The present paper describes the important events in Balakandam of Ranganatha Ramayanam.

 Abstract

Badminton, a sport known for its speed, agility, and explosive movements, emphasizes the forehand smash, a critical offensive technique that can determine match outcomes. In pursuit of improving this skill, core and plyometric training have been widely explored as effective methods to increase smash velocity and vertical jump performance. This narrative review compares the effectiveness of these two training approaches, based on clinical and controlled studies, and finds that while both are beneficial, plyometric training offers a slightly superior impact on smash velocity.
