 Abstract

Compulsive behaviours such as overeating and bingeing might risk a person's life in the case of an eating disorder. Stress in medical school has been linked to an increased chance of developing an eating issue, according to prior research. Medical students were recruited to participate in a study to examine the link between stress and eating problems. Eating disorders and stress will be studied via the use of a questionnaire approach. The majority of medical professionals were suffering from high levels of stress, and there was a concerning rise in the incidence of eating disorders among them. As a matter of fact, based on our findings, there seems to be no link between stress and the likelihood of having an eating problem. To be sure, this mustn't be wholly ignored either. Medical students should be educated about the dangers of eating disorders and its repercussions.

 Abstract

The literature of Tripura, a northeastern state in India, is a profound reflection of its complex social fabric, characterized by the coexistence of diverse ethnic groups, primarily the Bengali and tribal communities. This paper explores how themes of migration, diaspora, and the quest for identity are articulated in Tripura's literary works. Through an analysis of selected texts, this study examines the impact of historical migrations, the resulting diasporic experiences, and the ongoing negotiations of identity within and between these communities. The narratives of belonging and displacement, often intertwined with the state's turbulent history, reveal the intricate dynamics of cultural assimilation, resistance, and the constant search for a stable sense of self in a changing world.

 Abstract

The research assessed the competencies of newly elected Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) officials in Tarlac City, focusing on capacity development to improve youth governance. It used a quantitative approach to evaluate 76 barangay, revealing that officials were "Moderately Competent" with a grand mean score of 4.30. Proposed solutions included a Livelihood Partnership for funding and targeted capacity development training on Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) functions, governance, and ethical standards.

 Abstract

Introduction: A disorder could be defined as a set of problems, which result in causing significant difficulty in persons daily life. Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) is defined as poor optimization and functioning of multiple joints, muscles, tendons, nerves and bones due to the work environment Aim & Objective: To study the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorder using Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire. Methods: We conducted prevalence study among 100 bus drivers from Pune. We collected data from the different bus depo in pune city as per inclusion criteria. We used Microsoft excel for data entry. Results: Total prevalence of musculoskeletal disorder among local bus drivers in Pune city was found 61%. Conclusion: The study also concludes that low back pain is the most prevalent form of musculoskeletal disorders in local bus drivers of Pune city followed by knee pain, neck pain.

 Abstract

Determining cancer's stage (extent) is necessary for most cancer types. The size of the tumor and the scope to which cancer has spread control the location. However, this can be useful for determining a patient's prognosis and treatment. In contrast, Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) does not typically form tumors. Instead, it usually affects all of the bone marrow in the body, which can spread to other organs, such as the liver and spleen. So, unlike most other cancers, ALL is not staged.Image segmentation is the most crucial part in image processing techniques. Nu- merous segmentation techniques are used to segment digital images into smaller re- gions called segments, consisting of sets of pixels in order to analyze important infor- mation from the images. Segmentation simplifies the process of information retrieval from the region of interest .It helps in converting the digital image into more relevant information and easier to analyze. This presents a comparative analysis of existing segmentation techniques and its modification to form new segmentation techniques to overcome some of the drawbacks of the existing image segmentation approaches.Leukemia, a type of cancer affecting the blood and bone marrow, requires early detection and accurate classification for effective treatment. Traditional diagnostic methods often involve manual examination of blood smears, which is time-consuming and subjective. In this study, we present a MATLAB-based approach for automated leukemia detection using image processing and machine learning techniques. We preprocess microscopic blood smear images, segment leukemia cells using K-means clustering and Otsu's thresholding method, and extract features to characterize cell morphology and texture. A K-nearest neighbors (KNN) classifier is employed to clas- sify segmented cells into leukemia and non-leukemia categories. The performance of the proposed methodology is evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score metrics. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of the computational approach in accurately identifying and classifying leukemia cells, with implications for improving diagnostic efficiency and patient outcomes in leukemia management.

 Abstract

The examination of will is a prominent issue in Raja Alem's novel The Dove's Necklace, expressing the struggle between human liberty and external circumstances. The protagonists must traverse a maze of society expectations, cultural conventions, and personal wants that influence and confine their choices. Alem digs into the complexity of human agency, demonstrating how the characters' decisions are impacted by their surroundings while also exhibiting moments of resistance and willpower. The story depicts volition in a complex light, with the battle for self-determination plagued with internal and external conflicts, finally raising the question of how people may exercise genuine freedom in a society dominated by inflexible social systems.

 Abstract

The study evaluated the qualification standards and competencies among employees in the Municipality of Concepcion, Tarlac. It aims to identify potential successors in different offices within the agency and to outline strategic development initiatives to help them develop their full potential and capabilities. This preparation will equip them to assume critical roles in the agency as future leaders. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the study conducted documentary analysis and interviews with 26 purposively selected participants holding second-level positions with salary grades 15 to 22. The findings revealed that out of the 18 operational offices, only 10 had a proper system of ranking positions, hence, potential successors were able to determined. On the other hand, there were no identified potential successors to be groomed among those other offices without a well-distributed system of ranking positions. The study also showed that only 5 out of the 26 potential successors met the required qualifications and competencies for key positions in the agency. A significant of 96.15% corresponding to 25 participants, identify the insufficiency and mismatch of qualifications and competencies as the primary challenge in meeting the standards for key positions. The study recommended that the agency prioritize internal and external learning development interventions to help employees address their deficiencies in job qualifications and competencies. This approach will ensure organizational stability, continuity, and the development of a competitive workforce. Additionally, establishing a structured mentoring program, offering targeted training sessions, and providing access to professional development resources can strengthen the proposed succession plan. These measures will enhance employees' readiness for critical roles, foster a robust talent pipeline, and promote effective public administration.
