 Abstract

Printmaking is a lake of sweet water in which every artist wants to quench their thirst. In the 20th century many Punjabi artists of India emerged as important figures in the field of printmaking. These artists have enriched the field of printmaking with their unique perspectives on the cultural and social changes in post 20th century Punjab and their technical skills that have contributed to the richness of Indian textile art (a wall of hand woven fabric often with pictorial designs). Their works incorporate traditional motifs, folklore and religious themes. It helps preserve and promote Punjabi culture and identity. The Artist of Punjab have experimented with various new and latest printmaking techniques such as etching, woodcut, lithography and screen printing. Their innovative approaches have enriched the Indian printmaking landscape. The Influential and Famous Punjabi artists like, Abdur Rahman Chugtai, S.L. Parasher, Manjit Bawa, Satish Gujral, and, Kanwal Krishna, Paramjit Singh, Anupam Sood, Kavita Nayar, Krishna Khanna, Harjit Singh Kular, Sukhwinder Singh have gained national and international recognition. Their works often reflect a combination of contemporary themes and traditional aesthetics. Many artists in the workshops spend their lives teaching art, organizing workshops and mentoring young artists. It has helped to nurture new talent and spread appreciation of printmaking as an art form. Punjabi artists actively participate in exhibitions and collaborate in India and globally. These platforms allow them to showcase their works to a wider audience and engage in cultural exchange. Overall, Punjabi Artist have played a significant role in enriching India's artistic heritage, contributing to the diversity and dynamism of the country's art scene.

 Abstract

The significance of validity, uniqueness, and reliability in the iris biometric validation system for person identification is covered in the study. The validation method is built on iris recognition and fingerprint technology, which is very genuine and distinct from other recognition systems. The shortcomings of the unimodal biometric system are addressed by the multimodal biometric procedure. This procedure considers noise sensitivity, population coverage areas, hacker vulnerability, a variety of intra- and inter-class concerns, and non-universality requirements. The convolutional neural network (CNN) approach, in particular, is the primary emphasis of the paper's deep learning-oriented machine learning system. Using real fingerprints, the fingerprint-based iris recognition technology verifies people's identity for use in high-security protection systems.

 Abstract

The advancement in human needs, what we call the development, is deeply suffering from the basic concept of existence and identity in form of "sustainability. The natural solar radiation, natural solar energy forms and the artificial green energy is the only solution for sustainable development. The fundamental source of this ultimate type of energy required is the Sun. In this communication, an attempt has been made to parameterize the natural variability factors in solar radiation due to changes in earth-sun relative positions and orientations even for the same place and the given surface. The solar radiation assessment challenges are classified as: regular annual cycle variation factors, regular daily cycle variation factors, place variation factors, surface variation factors and the natural atmospheric attenuation factor.

 Abstract

The African Union has been granted enhanced jurisdiction to mediate conflicts in Darfur and Abyei, including inter-state and intra-state disputes, tackle ideological threats, and engage in peacebuilding initiatives. The AU Charter has strengthened the member states' ability to tackle conflict-related matters via collaborative efforts. According to Article 3(f) of the Constitutive Act of AU, the goals of the AU is to promote stability, security, and peace. Additionally, Article 4(e) of the AU stipulates that one of its core values is the nonviolent settlement of disputes between member nations. The African Union consistently and legitimately dispatches its Pan-African forces to regions experiencing armed hostilities. Over the years, the African Union (AU) has proved that it is committed to proactively managing and resolving violent disputes in Africa. This article evaluates the AU's approach to avoiding, confining, and resolving interrelated violent crises inside and between African states. The analysis has primarily examined AU's involvement in resolving conflicts in Darfur and Abyei, taking into account the extended duration of armed conflicts in these two cases.

 Abstract

The buccal region of the oral mucosa offers an effective pathway for systemic drug delivery. Medications administered through the oral mucosal layer bypass the gastrointestinal tract, which often has a high first-pass metabolism and can degrade drugs. The buccal drug delivery system allows for direct absorption into the systemic circulation, enabling painless administration, rapid enzymatic action, high bioavailability, and reduced liver metabolism. However, oral drug delivery routes are often limited by significant presystemic metabolism, which can lead to drug breakdown in acidic environments due to poor absorption. Buccal delivery is an appealing option because it allows for easy administration through the buccal mucosal membrane lining the oral cavity. This review paper provides a comprehensive overview of the oral mucosa, mucoadhesion, factors influencing the process, assessment methodologies, and strategies for overcoming challenges in formulating buccal drug delivery systems.

 Abstract

This article discusses the issue of willpower in Hoda Barakat's novel Tiller of Waters, which is set among the ruins of Beirut during the Lebanese Civil War. The protagonist, Niqula, must negotiate a landscape of physical and mental destruction while dealing with the loss of his history, identity, and humanity. Willpower emerges as a guiding force throughout his journey, helping him to survive the trauma of battle while resisting despair. This study examines Niqula's psychological difficulties, as well as his relationship to memory and survival, to see how Barakat presents willpower as a way of both inner resilience and resistance against destructive forces. In doing so, the novel provides a moving reflection on the fragility and power of the human will in the face of great tragedy.

 Abstract

Strong medicinal substances are developed in large part by the use of medicinal plants. Approximately 80% of people in underdeveloped nations still receive their main medical treatment from traditional medicine. Phytochemical screening of neem, licorice, cassia tora and hibiscus extracts reveals different profiles of bioactive compounds. Phenolics are present in neem and hibiscus, but not in licorice and Cassia Tora. Tannins are commonly found while steroids are found only in Neem and Cassia Tora. Alkaloids are found in all but licorice, and glycosides are found in neem and licorice, but not in Cassia Tora and Hibiscus. Flavonoids are the same in all extracts, suggesting a common phytochemical class. The evaluation parameters show that all four substances are solid, odorless and have a similar brown color. Their loss on drying ranges from 0.11 to 0.23% and the pH of their 1% aqueous solutions ranges from 3.2 to 4.3. Licorice has the highest yield (50%) and Cassia Toral the lowest (28%). Total ash content is highest in neem (8.5%) and acid insoluble ash content is highest in licorice (4%). Water-soluble ash varies slightly, with values for water-soluble extracts ranging from 7.8% for licorice to 9.5% for neem. Licorice contains the most alcohol-soluble extracts (3.8%). Solubility tests show that all substances are soluble in distilled water, ethanol, benzene and petroleum ether. In acetone, neem dissolves slightly, while others dissolve completely. Unlike others, licorice dissolves easily in chloroform. Toluene dissolves Neem, Cassia Tora, and Hibiscus but not Licorice, highlighting selective solubility and unique chemical interactions with solvents.
