 Abstract

The research into phytochemical and antimicrobial screening of compounds from natural sources has always been of great interest for scientists looking for new sources of useful drugs against infections and diseases (Silva RP,. 1998). Medicinal plants have been used in the management of microbial infections for thousands of years. Plants are natural sources for antimicrobial compounds to ward off microbial organisms competing with them in their environment (Thawabeth et al., 2019). Bacteria that can cause wound infections are Coliform bacilli, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella spp. The presence of the microorganisms in wounds significantly slows down the wound healing process (Perescacho and Rouseffm et al., 2008). Citrus is a good source of vitamin C, carotenoids, flavonoids, essential oils, acridone alkaloids, minerals and Vitamin B (Madhuri et al., 2014). Sweet orange also contains fiber, bio active components and phenolic compounds. Generally, antioxidant reduce oxidative stress which is a common feature in health dysfunctions in apparent support of the suggestion by that these bioactive compounds, including the antioxidants compounds, in sweet orange juice could reduce the risk for cancers and many chronic diseases (Crowell PL 2009).

 Abstract

This study delves into the phytochemical composition of Gynura procumbens, a medicinal plant with reported therapeutic efficacy. Through rigorous extraction and analysis, we aimed to identify and quantify the bioactive compounds present in its hydroalcoholic extract, focusing particularly on phenolic compounds and flavonoids. Qualitative screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, tannins, saponins, flavonoids, terpenoids, and phenolic compounds, affirming its rich chemical diversity. Subsequent quantitative analysis using spectrophotometry and chromatography provided insights into the concentration of these phytochemicals. Biological assays were conducted to evaluate the antioxidant potential and cytotoxic effects of the extract, shedding light on its possible therapeutic applications. Advanced analytical techniques, including mass spectrometry, facilitated the identification of active compounds, thus elucidating the extract's chemical profile. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of Gynura procumbens' medicinal properties and its potential role in disease management. Harnessing the bioactive constituents of this plant could lead to the development of novel pharmaceuticals or nutraceuticals with significant health benefits. This research underscores the importance of exploring natural sources for new therapeutic agents to address current healthcare challenges.

 Abstract

Online reviews and ratings significantly influence consumer behaviour. Positive eWOM can drive interest and lead to further investigation, while negative eWOM can deter potential buyers. During the evaluation phase, eWOM provides consumers with detailed comparisons and user experiences, helping them weigh the pros and cons of different products or brands. Credibility and trust often influence purchase intentions, as high ratings and positive reviews serve as social proof. Post-purchase behaviour is influenced by customer satisfaction and loyalty, as satisfied customers are more likely to become repeat buyers and brand advocates.eWOM also provides valuable feedback to companies, helping them improve their products and services based on customer experiences. Consumer attitudes are formed through perceived quality and value, with detailed reviews highlighting specific features, benefits, and drawbacks. Consistent positive eWOM enhances a brand's image and reputation, creating a strong, favourable perception among consumers. The strategic implications of eWOM for businesses are profound. They include active engagement with consumers, influencer collaboration, incentivising positive eWOM, creating shareable content, and employing monitoring and analytics for effective crisis management. By addressing and managing online feedback strategically, businesses can mitigate damage and proactively shape consumer perceptions and trust, making them feel strategic and in control.

 Abstract

Speed in sports is a critical component that often determines the difference between success and failure, especially in fast-paced competitions. Speed encompasses a combination of physical agility, mental quickness, and reaction time, making it a multifaceted trait that is highly valued across various sports disciplines. From sprinting in track and field to quick transitions in basketball or rapid reflexes in table tennis, speed plays a pivotal role in the performance of athletes. The Importance of Speed in Sports Speed is one of the most fundamental athletic attributes, whether it's in sprinting, swimming, or team sports like soccer and hockey. In many sports, the faster an athlete can move, the greater their advantage over their opponents. For instance, in track and field, sprinting events like the 100 meters are purely about explosive speed, where fractions of a second can separate victory from defeat. In football, wide receivers rely on speed to break away from defenders, while speed in basketball allows players to drive past their opponents or catch them off-guard during a fast break Anxiety is a major factor in sports. Anxiety is brought on by the difficulties involved in participating in sports. Anxiety can either serve as a powerful motivator or it can get in the way of excellent athletic performances. The level of anxiety also varies depending on a variety of factors; anxiety is likely to be higher in highly competitive sports than in relatively non-competitive sports due to the high expectations placed on competitors in these sports to succeed. Sports psychologists are now particularly interested in researching how anxiety affects athletic performance. The level of perceived anxiety is a crucial factor to take into account when evaluating a person's performance. Research demonstrates that All of us, especially athletes, experience anxiety to varied degrees. However, in the world of sports, some competing circumstances by nature elicit greater anxiety than others. Anxiety may at times be advantageous when performing tasks that call for strength or power. To analyze the data Mean , Standard deviation and t value has been used.

 Abstract

This article is about exploring and highlighting the role for semantic analysis for educators, students, designers and consumers today. Here, visual perception of symbiosis inspired built form has been explored semantically. A catalogue of 17 designs of built structures that connote the idea of symbiosis was shortlisted by the researchers and 3 Design industry experts on the basis of a primarily visual examination. The conceptual grounding of this exercise was that the source forms are expressions and material manifestations of theoretical concepts, and could be investigated using semantic analysis. A cohort of 23 final year B. Des. students were tasked to verbally describe these images in English language. These descriptions were later rationalized by the experts in to 64 symbiosis related key-terms. These terms were analyzed by the experts using card-sorting and organized in to a set of 8 semantic-factors. This article shares the process and results of this exercise of analyzing symbiosis inspired built forms, and the synthesis of semantic factors underlying them.
