Background: Hair loss, or alopecia, is a common problem affecting both men and women. There is a growing demand for herbal cosmetics due to their minimal side effects. Aim: The present study aims to formulate a polyherbal hair oil, designed to promote hair growth and treat alopecia. The polyherbal hair oil formulation was developed using a combination of herbs, including amla, pumpkin seed, green tea, aloe vera, almond oil, sesame oil, and coconut oil. Method and Results: The potent chemical constituents responsible for the hair growth were determined by phytochemical screening of the herbs. Formulated polyherbal hair oil underwent a series of evaluations to ensure its quality and safety. Parameters such as viscosity, pH, saponification value, colour, odour, sensitivity, irritation, and acid value were assessed. These provided important information about the physical and chemical properties of the hair oil, ensuring its suitability for use. Increasing popularity of polyherbal hair oils for alopecia can be attributed to the growing preference for natural and safer alternatives to conventional hair care products. Conclusion: By harnessing the therapeutic potential of herbal ingredients, these formulations offer a holistic approach to hair care, by promoting healthy hair growth. It provides a promising solution for individuals experiencing hair loss. These formulations offer the benefits of herbal ingredients with fewer side effects and improved safety and efficacy. The combination was carefully selected to obtain the best possible formulation for stimulating hair growth.

 Abstract

The recent moves of Indian government, whether it be Digital India or demonetization or DBT, all intends to drive India towards cash-less economy. Although these initiatives are the key to address the issues of financial inclusion, poverty alleviation, cheap access to credit and corruption, but the fact that 95 percent of transactions in India are cash based cannot be overlooked, as India is a cash based economy, with the cash-to-GDP ratio being 12 percent. Only 10-15% of the population is estimated to have ever used any kind of non-cash payment instrument, compared to 40% of people in countries like Brazil, and china. Thus, the journey of Indian economy from cash towards going cashless is highly debatable. Therefore, this study discusses the concept and the various dynamics of going cashless along-with the current position of India. The study also puts forward the benefits and adverse impact of going cashless. It also assessed the growth on the path of being cashless in terms of digital payments. Moreover, an effort is made to know about pitfalls on the way of going cashless for India. It is obvious from this study that the future of the Cashless India looks pretty promising. In spite of the pitfalls in going cashless, the response of the people towards this move of the government is a clear indication that the journey of Indian economy from cash to cashless is likely to succeed in near future, if the prerequisite infrastructure are made available and the hindrances are removed. This revolutionary shift, into the new era of digital payments, entails a need of series of radical reforms in a phase wise manner, especially in rural areas as it can't be forced abruptly.

Abstract: In India, nursing admissions have been increasing steadily, but there is a significant discrepancy between the intake of students and the number of qualified graduates. To address this issue, this research aimed to investigate the qualities and behaviors expected from both nursing faculty and baccalaureate nursing students to enhance the teaching-learning process. A cross-sectional survey was conducted, where participants ranked the top 10 qualities/behaviors from the Teacher Behavior Checklist (TBC) list of 28 items. The study involved 23 nursing faculty members and 86 BSc Nursing students. The results revealed six key factors deemed crucial for effective teaching and learning by both faculty and students: Confidence, Professionalism, Knowledge of Subject Matter, Good Listening Skills, Positive Attitude/Humor, and Student Encouragement. Further research is recommended to explore these aspects across different nursing institutions and to compare views on effective teaching between baccalaureate and associate degree nursing programs.

 Abstract

Voice feminization is a multifaceted process that encompasses various interventions aimed at aligning the voice of transgender individuals with their gender identity. While increasing vocal pitch is commonly emphasized as a key objective, it is important to recognize that achieving a truly feminine voice involves more than pitch alone. Nevertheless, both surgical and non-surgical approaches have predominantly concentrated on pitch elevation as a primary focus of voice feminization interventions.

Murshidabad Plain is part of the moribund delta. The position of the Bagri tract is within the quadrilateral, bounded by Bhagirathi, and Padma,and partly by Mahananda. In this study region of the river Bhagirathi, flowing from north to south dividing the district into two topographical divisions showing contrasting physical characteristics. The major old river basins in the Bagri tract are described in this paper. The simulated satellite images in MS form and DEM form demarcate the nature of river actions by their dynamic equilibrium. The main features of satellite images are contour, slope, watershed, flow direction etc.
