 Abstract

Domestic workers are an indispensable part of the everyday lives of a large segment of India's urban population. However, in the absence of a national policy to recognise the specific nature of domestic work, their categorisation as 'workers' is merely theoretical. This issue brief highlights the isolated nature of domestic work in India, with particular reference to legislative and social issues, which keep them at bay from availing their rights as 'recognised workers'. There has been a significant increase in the number of women domestic workers in India in recent times. The domestic service is now accepted as an important category of livelihood. The domestic labour debate was particularly prominent in the western academia amongst feminists in the 1960s and 1970s. The steep decline in agrarian produce and livelihood security in rural areas has caused migration of rural people to urban areas. The number of women domestic workers is constantly growing in the informal sector of urban India. Domestic work has remained unorganized, unrecognized and unrewarding for the domestic workers. The domestic workers are denied of minimum wages, healthy work period, safe working conditions and other benefits in the absence of trade unions and state intervention. The women domestic workers do not have support networks and civil society support under the existing circumstances. They experience exploitative situations and multi-faceted abuses. The national and international legal instruments are largely ineffective under the existing circumstances

Abstract: The "Disease Prediction" method focuses on predictive modeling to forecast the user's disease based on input symptoms. This method analyzes the symptoms provided by the user and outputs the likelihood of the disease using a random forest classifier. The system collects data from various health-related websites, ensuring real and accurate symptom data without any dummy values. The preprocessing phase involves cleaning and standardizing the data, followed by splitting it into training and testing sets. The model is built using the random forest algorithm, which excels in handling both structured and unstructured data. The prediction phase leverages a Flask framework to interface the model with users, providing them with a convenient and efficient way to input symptoms and receive disease likelihood predictions. This approach not only saves time and cost associated with doctor visits but also provides early detection and management of chronic diseases. The system achieves an average prediction accuracy probability of 95%, demonstrating its potential to improve healthcare accessibility and decision-making.

 Abstract

Potholes are a serious risk to both public safety and the economy, but finding them usually requires labor- intensive, time-consuming manual inspections. This research explores the deep learning prospects for automated pothole recognition using a synergistic CNN and YOLO approach. For our pothole-detecting research, we have collaborated with CNN and used YOLOv5. These results demonstrate the deep learning prospects for automated pothole detection, which might enhance road safety, minimize car damage, and save maintenance expenses. Future directions that could be explored include pothole severity rating, mobile platform integration, and transfer learning.

Nyctanthes arbor-tristis, also known as the "Night-Flowering Jasmine," has been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we developed an antioxidant face serum incorporating Nyctanthes arbor-tristis extract as the primary active ingredient. The serum was formulated to protect the skin from oxidative stress, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve skin elasticity and firmness. The Nyctanthes arbor-tristis extract-based serum significantly scavenged free radicals, reduced inflammation, and improved skin hydration. This novel formulation offers a natural and effective solution for promoting skin health and protection, making it an attractive addition to the growing market of natural and organic skincare products. Nyctanthes arbor-tristis Linn, also referred to as Parijat or night jasmine, is one such plant. This plant, which belongs to the Oleaceae family, grows natively in tropical and subtropical climates across the globe. It has several therapeutic and pharmacological qualities, although being mainly valued for its aesthetic qualities. Each portion of this significant traditional plant from India has therapeutic significance and a variety of pharmacological effects, including antibacterial, antifungal, antipyretic, antihistaminic, antimalarial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. It is utilized in Ayurveda, Siddha, and Unani medicine. Phytochemicals such as flavanol glycoside, oleanic acid, tannic acid, carotene, friedeline, lupeol, glucose, and benzoic acid compounds are found in Nyctanthes arbor-tristis. Nyctanthes arbor-tristis may be a less expensive and potentially harmful substitute for pharmaceutical medications.

Indigofera suffruticosa, commonly known as Indigofera anil L, is a plant traditionally used in various folk medicines for its diuretic properties. This study aimed to evaluate the diuretic activity of Indigofera suffruticosa through experimental models. The plant material was extracted using aqueous solvents, and the extracts were screened for diuretic activity using spargue dawley rats. Diuretic activity was assessed by measuring urine output, electrolyte excretion, and urine pH. Results indicated that the aqueous extract of Indigofera suffruticosa exhibited significant diuretic activity compared to the control group, with a notable increase in urine volume and electrolyte excretion. The findings suggest that Indigofera suffruticosa possesses potential diuretic properties, supporting its traditional use in folk medicine. Further studies are warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and identify active constituents responsible for its diuretic effects.

 Abstract

Vitamin B12 deficiency in early childhood is an important cause of neurodevelopmental delay and regression. Most of these cases occur in exclusively breast-fed infants of deficient mothers. Symptoms and signs of vitamin B12 deficiency appear between the ages of 2 to 12 months and include vomiting, lethargy, failure to thrive, hypotonia, and arrest or regression of developmental skills. Approximately one half of this cases exhibit abnormal movements, variously described as tremors, twitches, chorea, or myoclonus. Urinary concentrations of methylmalonic acid and homocysteine are characteristically elevated in vitamin B12 deficiency. Hyperglycinuria is sometimes present. The early diagnosis and treatment of vitamin B12 deficiency is crucial for significant neurological impairment and long-term prognosis. Treatment with vitamin B12 corrects these metabolic abnormalities very rapidly (within a few days). Vitamin B12 supplementation of pregnant women may prevent neurological and neuroradiological findings of the infants. Because of the importance of vitamin B12 in the development of the foetal and neonatal brain, vegetarian and vegan mothers should be aware of the severe and not fully-reversible damages caused by insufficient nutritional intake of vitamin B12 during pregnancy and lactation. Therefore, efforts should be directed to prevent its deficiency in pregnant and breastfeeding women on vegan diets and their infants. It is also important to take the nutritional history of both infants and their mothers for the early prevention and treatment. Here an interesting case of vitamin B12 deficiency in a 10-month- old boy presented with psychomotor regression, hypotonia and lethargy.
