 Abstract

Wild edible vegetables play an important contribution to the livelihood of the households who gather and consume them. As per the traditional knowledge, these wild edible vegetables or plants play a significant task in the sustenance of forest people residing in forested areas. The tribal consumed tubers, leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds and grains of the wild plants. A total of 30 plant species were documented as wild plants used as food. The plant species, their families, local name, plant part used and their mode of usage were also reported.

 Abstract

This study critically analyses the financial health of energy sector UPPCL and non-energy sector UPSRTC, two important service sector public enterprises of Uttar Pradesh. The main objective of this study is to analyse and compare the financial performance of UPPCL and UPSRTC. This study adopts descriptive and analytical research design to conduct the study. Financial data related to UPPCL is collected through form its financial statements available on its website while the financial reports of UPSRTC were obtained from Luckow regional office of UPSRTC. This study employed the financial ratios of profitability, efficiency, long-term solvency and short-term liquidity. The findings indicate that the two service sector firms differ significantly in their financial performance. The results bring to forth that in the considered period UPPCL is profitable, efficient, solvent and long-term and not has enough liquidity for short term obligations. Whereas, UPSRTC is in losses, more efficient, insolvent and long-term and having enough liquidity for short term obligations. The major limitations of the study is availability and of data and its scope in terms of analysis of two PSEs in UP. The future researchers may expand the scope of the research both in terms of data and number of PSEs from various sectors and state.

Abstract: This project proposes the development of a home automation system using Wi-Fi and ESP8266. The system will allow users to control various household appliances such as lights, fans, air conditioners, and electronic devices using their smartphones or other connected devices. The proposed system will use the ESP8266 microcontroller, which has Wi-Fi capabilities, to connect to the internet and receive commands from the user's device. The system will use a web interface that will allow users to control and monitor their devices remotely. The web interface will be hosted on a local server, and the system will use MQTT protocol for data communication.

 Abstract

One of the most common invasive medical procedures is peripheral intravenous cannulation, which has some risks and potential complications. This study aimed to empower the nurses on IV Cannulation to ensure that the patient experiences minimal discomfort during the procedure by accomplishing it successfully with a single needle prick. The sample size was 1125 nurses who were trained and were included in both pre and post-training practice checks. Nurses' knowledge, practice, and competency regarding these procedural skills were assessed. Considering the study findings, it was observed that the campaign aids in enhancing Nursing skills in IV Cannulation from 21% (pre-campaign) to 89% (post-campaign), reducing the number of patient complaints, and also enhanced patient satisfaction scores from 74.5% to 80.6%.

 Abstract

This study delves into the complex interplay between mental well-being and professional engagement among working women, given their increasing presence in the workforce. Modern workplaces impose significant pressure on women as they balance career, family, and societal expectations, often resulting in heightened stress levels and mental health challenges like anxiety and depression, impacting job performance and satisfaction. Workplace cultures and policies, including discrimination and limited career opportunities, further shape the mental health landscape for working women, necessitating inclusive and supportive environments to foster positive outcomes. Recognizing the intersectionality of mental health and gender, the study advocates for a comprehensive approach involving workplace wellness programs, destigmatizing mental health discourse, and advocating for work-life balance policies. Prioritizing the mental well-being of working women not only benefits individual success but also contributes to a more equitable and sustainable professional environment, thus advancing societal progress. This research seeks to illuminate the nuanced influence of mental health factors on working women's professional engagement, providing actionable insights for organizations, policymakers, and stakeholders to promote mental well-being in the workplace.

 Abstract

The present study aimed to design and evaluate a buccal patch for the transmucosal delivery of nateglinide, a hypoglycemic agent, to provide a non-invasive and patient-friendly alternative for diabetes management. A solvent casting method was employed to prepare buccal patches using a combination of polymers like HPMC, HPMC K4M, PVA. The optimized patch (DF3) exhibited a drug release of 93.32% over 09 hours. The buccal patch was found to showed good bioadhesion. This study demonstrates the potential of the developed buccal patch as a promising transmucosal delivery system for nateglinide, offering a convenient and effective treatment option for diabetes management.

 Abstract

Heart failure is a pathological medical disorder where there is an abnormality of heart function, which results in an inability to pump blood to the rest of the body resulting in poor perfusion of the organs. Congestive heart failure is a progressive disease generally seen in elderly, which if not properly managed leads to death. Heart failure is a serious condition with significant morbidity and mortality the continuous increases is local congestive heart failure cases and the economic burden associated with it has led to the over helming demand for bowel therapies quite a few drugs for heart failure have shown some promise in preclinical as well as early phase clinical trails but most of them were unsuccessful. In addition to the pharmacological and non-pharmacological intervention also plays an essential role in management of heart failure to assess the true effectiveness of these attractive compounds.

 Abstract

Dental caries and periodontitis are prevalent and persistent oral diseases posing significant health challenges. The inclusion of fungi as commensals within oral biofilms presents a novel avenue of research in oral biology. This study reviews existing literature on biofilms, with a focus on methodologies, highlighting the coexistence of Candida albicans with bacteria in oral biofilms and its implications for oral health. The study explores the efficacy of natural products, particularly traditional herbal remedies like Tulsi, Green Tea, and Neem, as antifungal agents against drug-resistant pathogens. The current study was conducted on Alternaria isolated from patients suffering with dental caries and standard strain of Candida albicans MTCC 227, procured from IMTECH, Chandigarh. To evaluate the efficacy of these plants against oral biofilm-forming bacteria, phytochemical screening using the methanolic leaf extracts and the antimicrobial activity was checked against the isolated strains. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of several bioactive compounds in the extracts, with Eugenol from Ocimum sanctum, Catechin from Camellia sinensis and Nimbidin from Azadirachta indica. This study proposes an investigation into the potential of organic herbs to halt or inhibit dental caries and associated diseases, providing a sustainable and alternative approach to oral health management.
