 Abstract

Recently, air pollution has become more prominent among environmental issues in Asia than elsewhere in the world. This study is initiated to assess particulate matter (mainly PM2.5) in the outdoor air. The PM2.5 is mainly of anthropogenic origin and the main source is transportation sector. As a result of high concentration of PM compared to the recommended permissible levels for residential areas in India, the city dwellers suffer from its adverse effects. Annual mean PM concentration data from CPCB and other sources are analyzed here. Besides, spatiotemporal variations of PM, urban environment and its associated toxicity, public health issues, socio-economic effects, trans-boundary pollution are considered in this study. The findings of the study will help researchers and policy makers to understand to what extent city dwellers are affected by ambient air pollution and what action is still necessary.

 Abstract

Our need to pursue sustainable agricultural development stems from India's rapidly increasing population, which has placed a significant burden on food production. The transition from production-oriented to profit-oriented sustainable farming is therefore critically needed. When it comes to sustainable agriculture, a careful analysis of input and output can help strike a balance between environmental concerns and economic return. Even if it's somewhat difficult, the efforts being made in this situation ought to be more practically balanced. This fact is taken into account in the current study, which uses secondary data to outline the need for sustainable agriculture and recommend actions to take.

 Abstract

Warts, also known as verruca, are among the most frequent viral diseases seen in primary care, affecting 7% to 10% of the population. They are little benign growths produced by the Human Papilloma virus (HPV), a member of the papova virus family. They are inconvenient for both patients and physicians since therapy is sometimes time-consuming and lengthy. Warts are a disease that has tormented humans since antiquity. Warts induce ugliness by forming on places that cause loss of attractiveness, such as the face, neck, and hands. Depression can be caused by cosmetic values. Acharya Sushruta has dedicated a chapter on Kshudra Rogas, in which he explains 44 of them, including Charmakeela(~Warts). Ayurveda explains several therapy ideas, like as Ksharakarma, Chedana and Agnikarma. These indigenous therapy approaches are minimally intrusive and have been shown to be more effective. Acharya Susruta has cited. Kshara Karma is a unique process employed since ancient times that is superior to Shastra and Anushastra owing to its comprehensive multifaceted effects such as Chedana, Bhedana, and Lekhana karma. Charmakeela(~Warts) is said to be efficiently treated with Kshara Karma because Ksharalepa(~local application of Kshara) performs activities such as Chedana, Bedhana, and Lekhana. Charmakeela is caused by a vitiated Vyana Vayu and Kapha Dosa. Kshara pacifies the Vata and Kapha Doshas, which are required for Charmakeela's(~Warts) Samprapti Vighatana. Kshara lepa is a low-cost and easily available medication that may be used to manage such skin lesions. When compared to current therapy, there is a need to identify a medicine that is readily available year-round, less irritating, similarly safe, and cost effective in the treatment of warts. Patients who meet the inclusion criteria for either gender will be selected at random based on their history, symptoms, and clinical examination. Following diagnosis, 40 Charmakeela(~Warts) patients are randomly assigned to two groups: Group A and Group B, each with 20 cases . The group's characteristics will be observed before and after therapy. Kshara lepa is administered for a minimum of one day and a maximum of seven days, depending on the lesion. Follow-up will be done once weekly for three weeks. Chitraka kshara lepa results shows slightly better actions on removing warts than Apamarga kshara lepa.

 Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of literature-based instructional resources in enhancing soft skills, communication skills and intelligence among professional students. Through a pre- and post-intervention study with 180 participants, researcher examined the impact of literature on soft skills, communication skills and intelligence, and interest of the students in further improvement of soft skills. Significant positive changes were observed in all three areas, highlighting the potential of literature-based approaches. However, individual traits like pre-existing communication skills and handling unexpected changes influenced the magnitude of the impact. Our findings advocate for incorporating personalized literature recommendations and targeted reading activities to optimize soft skills development through literary resources.

 Abstract

This article represents an interval branch and bound (B & B technique) constrained global optimization method developed by Karmakar & Bhunia [17] for Sum of Ratios Fractional Programming Problems (FPPs). The constraints of this kind of FPPs involves sum of ratios fractional type constraints. There exist several efficient constraint-handling techniques to find global optimizers for various problems; but, not so effective for general sum of ratios fractional type constraints. A more updated and general interval ranking definitions in terms of decision maker's view point has been used to modify this B & B technique. The method is mainly based on the multi-section splitting criterion of the accepted/prescribed search region, calculation of interval inclusion of the fractional objectives and constraints and the selection of subregion depending on the modified interval order relations said earlier. Adequate number of numerical examples selected form the existing literature have been solved and compared in support of this technique.
