subject: Angle plate inserts; Backward/forward arrangements; Friction factor; Nusselt number; Thermo-hydraulic performance
description: A novel type of angle plate inserts (APIs) was designed to improve the convection heat transfer in a circular pipe. In the present work characteristics of heat transfer, flow resistance, and overall thermo-hydraulic performance of turbulent airflow in a circular tube fitted with APIs were investigated at the Reynolds numbers range of 6000-18000 through numerical simulation. Our main attention was paid to the effects of the APIs with forward or backward arrangements, and the angle plates with various inclined angles (? = 30, 45 and 60) inserted in the circular tube for a constant pitch of 0.03 m. The results show that the Nusselt number is augmented by 2.39-4.63 times (Nu = 124.25-239.76) as that of the smooth tube. The value of performance index (PI) lies in the range of 1.34-1.63, which demonstrates that the angle plate insert has a very good overall thermo-hydraulic performance. The numerical results obtained were compared with those from plain tubes of published data and empirical relations. The maximum increases in Nusselt number for the inclined forward angle plate insert were 1.34 to 1.5 times and, while those for the backward angle plate insert were 1.46 to 1.63 over the plain tube, respectively. The friction factor ( f ) resulted in an increase of 4.28-23.12 times in case of forward arrangement and 8.09-31.76 times in case of backward arrangement. In addition, the use of the angle plate insert strip with backward arrangement leads to better overall enhancement ratio than that with forwarding arrangement around 8% to 9%. 2018 Pushpa Publishing House, Allahabad, India.

Numerical study on magnetohydrodynamics micropolar Carreau nanofluid with Brownian motion and thermophoresis effect
subject: Finite difference method; Magnetohydrodynamics; Micropolar Carreau nanofluid; Nonlinear thermal radiation, joule heating
description: The current work explores the investigation of the influence of nonlinear thermal radiation on unsteady, magnetohydrodynamics boundary layer flow of micropolar Carreau nanofluid past a stretching sheet. Viscous dissipation, internal heating, Brownian motion, heat source/sink, thermophoresis, chemical reaction, and Joule heating effects are considered in the study. To analyze the model, the governing partial differential equations are rephrased and written in the non-dimensional form with the relevant dimensionless quantities. To obtain the solutions, the nonlinear non-dimensional governing equations are numerically solved using finite difference approximation. The impact of every significant flow parameter on fluid motion, micro-rotation, temperature, concentration, surface drag, heat, and mass transfer rates are presented through plotted graphs and tables. It is noted from the study that the fluid flow and angular motion increase, whereas the temperature declines with higher values of the micropolar constant. Further, it is noticed that thermal distribution is a rising function of radiation parameter, and due to the nonlinear thermal radiation effect, there is an increase of 4.903% in temperature distribution when compared to linear thermal radiation. To support the validity of the solutions, a comparison was made with notable results from the existing literature for the specific case of this study. 2023 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

Numerical surfaces of fractional Zika virus model with diffusion effect of mosquito-borne and sexually transmitted disease
subject: AtanganaBaleanu (AB) derivative; diffusion; disease-free equilibrium; equilibrium; q-homotopy analysis transform method; Zika virus
description: This paper analyzes the dynamics of fractional partial differential equation (FPDE) model of Zika virus that incorporates diffusion using AtanganaBaleanu (AB) fractional derivative. Zika virus disease is an infection transmitted predominantly by the bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito and may be a severe epidemic if not contained in its premature stages. The q-homotopy analysis transform method is employed to analyze and compute the solutions for this nonlinear partial differential model, and the fractional derivative is defined in AtanganaBaleanu sense. We determine some new approximate numerical results for different values of parameters of alpha. Numerical models focused on various distributions of the population help to explain how the spread of humans and mosquitoes influences the disease's transmission. With the utilization fixed-point hypothesis, the existence and uniqueness of the solutions obtained for the proposed model are presented. 2021 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Nurses' perception about Human Resource Management system and prosocial organisational behaviour: Mediating role of job efficacy
subject: altruism; communication; human resource management system; non-profit hospital; nurse perception; supervisory support
description: Aims: To examine the relationship between nurses' perception about human resource management system and prosocial organisational behaviour through job efficacy. Background: Literature suggests that non-profit organisations are often confronted with financial constraints on one side and the expectation of delivering high-quality services on the other. Employees voluntarily engaging in service-oriented behaviours help to bridge this gap to some extent, and human resource management system plays a significant role in eliciting the requisite behaviours. In this article, the case of nurses from non-profit hospitals has been undertaken to examine the aspects of human resource management system that needs focus while promoting prosocial organisational behaviours among the nurses for ensuring better service delivery. Method: Cross-sectional design was employed. Data were collected from 387 nurses working in non-profit hospitals in India through questionnaires and were analysed with the help of structural equation modelling. Findings: In the absence of sophisticated human resource system in non-profit hospitals, the study found that nurses' perception about human resource management system is positively related to prosocial organisational behaviours, and job efficacy partially mediates the relationship. Conclusion: Positive perceptions such as involvement with the job and communication as well as supervisors' support are essential human resource practices for fostering self-efficacy and, thus, improving prosocial organisational behaviour of nurses working in non-profit hospitals. Implication for Nursing Management: Non-profit hospitals should focus on nurses' participation and supervisory support, which would provide a better human touch approach to patient care and also improve service quality. The findings shed light on the nursing management of non-profit hospitals in terms of human resource management that has to be given much attention for institutionalizing prosocial o…

Nurturing a Better Future for Best Schooling Practices: A Review Portraying the Alternative Schooling, Bangalore, Karnataka, India
subject: Conditioning; Delinquency; Flowering; Initiative; Inner Transformation; Self-Discovery; Valley School; Whole-Child Education
description: Schooling is an essential stage in the socialization of a child. Schooling has a direct effect on a child's educational achievement, acquisition of skills, social cognition, and feelings (Sylva, 1994). Every schooling practice has the potential to mould the child and shape future citizens. Today many different schooling practices are prevailing in India. However, the majority of these schooling practices focus more on the cognitive development of the child and nurtures the values of competition and insecurity among the children. The schools have turned into factories that bring out mechanical individuals who cannot question, express, and voice themselves but who can only become a part of the race of obtaining marks and jobs. This kind of schooling may help in increasing the literacy rates but has not helped in producing truly educated and ethical citizens. It has led to moral degradation in society (Parihar, Parihar & Sharma, 2018). In this context, it is imperative to analyse the alternative schooling practices that nurture a better future. One such school that educates the heart, allows the flowering of the child and nurtures good citizens is the Valley School, Bangalore. Through this article, an attempt has been made to present a description of prevailing schooling practices and the challenges faced in the educational context. The authors put forth a review of schooling practices at valley school, one of the best alternative schools and ignite the discussion on Valley school being the best in nurturing a better future. 2020 Horizon Research Publishing.

Nurturing Adult Socio-Emotional Skills and Engagement: The Transformative Power of Mentoring Program
description: There has been a growing interest in understanding the ways education could integrate socio-emotional learning (SEL) skills in their curriculum. This chapter explores by considering mentoring approach as a channel to foster SEL skills that would be beneficial to both adult learners and educators alike. The chapter emphasizes on the key SEL skills and also focuses on the need for higher institutions to promote adult SEL, not only for faculties but also for adult learners. Two main types of mentoring have been addressed, viz the traditional mentoring versus alternative mentoring approach. The chapter also discusses about incorporating the train-the-trainer model for mentoring. In essence, this SEL-based adult mentoring ensures that both mentees and mentors benefit. The mentees have gained self-awareness, responsible decision-making skills, relationship skills and emotional intelligence through this mentoring approach, while the mentors have acquired a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment that promotes their emotional intelligence and decision-making skills. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

Nurturing Rural Women as Entrepreneurs: Jharkhand State Livelihood Promotion Society (JSLPS) Based Case Evidences
subject: Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Rural Livelihoods Mission; entrepreneurs; Jharkhand State Livelihood Promotion Society; Palash; rural women; self-help groups
description: This study examines the dynamics of rural womens entrepreneurship in Jharkhand (India), emphasising the role of the Jharkhand State Livelihood Promotion Society (JSLPS) under the National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM). With merely 0.68 per cent of rural women entrepreneurs nationwide situated in Jharkhand, the report highlights a primary developmental necessity. Data was obtained from 521 Rural Women Entrepreneurs (RWEs) across six districts of Jharkhand, using a qualitative study design supplemented by five illustrative case studies. The analysis informed by the Resource-Based View (RBV) framework demonstrates that both tangible resources (such as access to micro-credit, training and digital platforms) and intangible resources (including empowerment, peer support and social capital) are essential for enterprise sustainability and growth. JSLPS interventions, including the Palash brand, SHG federations and market access through trade fairs and internet platforms, have facilitated womens move from informal employment to empowered entrepreneurship. The case studies, encompassing bakeries, soap production, incense manufacturing and handicraft businesses, underscore context-specific issues and adaptive tactics such as digital onboarding, communal ownership and skill development. Despite infrastructural and societal challenges, these businesses demonstrate scalable, replicable, and robust forms of grassroots entrepreneurship. The study indicates that a tailored, locally integrated and digitally inclusive support structure is essential for promoting RWEs. It proposes that forthcoming interventions incorporate institutional collaborations, policy changes and multi-sectoral frameworks to fully capitalise on rural womens entrepreneurial potential and convert them into catalysts for inclusive and sustainable development. 2025, National Institute of Rural Development.

description: Decoding the world of artificial intelligence and its usage in the current intelligence landscape enhance bottom-up growth in building resilient global business. The areas of artificial intelligence (AI) concerned with human-to-machine and machine-to-human interaction. The Next Wave in AI-driven speech is Natural Language Generation (NLG). Natural Language Generation (NLG) is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) programming to produce written or spoken narrative from a dataset. NLG is related to computational linguistics, natural language processing (NLP) and natural language understanding (NLU). NLG research often focuses on building computer programs that provide data points with context. Sophisticated NLG software has the ability to mine large quantities of numerical data, identify patterns and share that information in a way that is easy for humans to understand. The speed of NLG software is especially useful for producing news and other time-sensitive stories on the internet. At its best, NLG output can be published verbatim as web content. The goal of Natural language generation (NLG) is to use AI to produce written or spoken narrative from a dataset. Therefore, this study aims to study how NLG enables machines and humans to communicate seamlessly, simulating human to human conversations and using NLG how organizations are building new customer experiences, monetizing information assets, introducing new offerings and streamlining operational costs. Therefore, the coverage of this chapter will answer to the industrialists and new start-ups. What can NLG do for business? and what are the future applications of NLG? 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Nutrition food labels on consumers purchase behaviour: A triangulation approach
subject: Health consequences; Marketing food labels; Nutritional labelling; Purchase behavior
description: The research paper is about the efforts taken by the marketers in the new century to market the products with the most attractive term "Nutrition food labels". Nutritional labeling is the practice of providing nutritional information on the labels of food packages. Since nutrition label introduces the product to the distributor or target consumer by providing them with all the information regarding the product. The main aim of a marketer is to achieve maximum customer satisfaction, because once if a customer is satisfied it automatically increases customer loyalty and has a positive impact on the firm's profitability position. Our research would help the other researchers to understand the factors that will lead to final purchase identifying the factors that will influence the consumer in making their final purchase decision. The variable matrix proposed with regard to nutritional label would help the researchers in figuring out the measures that would intensely gain the awareness of making use of food labels. Further it would help other researcher to conduct similar studies in different geographical locations across the globe. Other variables can be included along with the variables identified in our study; researchers can also come up with a new study considering this study as a base paper. It is important to assign weights to most discussed variable and then to finalize the variable matrix and hence the researchers have used Dedoose software to analyze the literature review and to find the most promising variable which can be used for the present study. Moreover, lifestyle has a major impact on the consumers brand preference by giving importance to nutritious content. The researchers have concluded that the nutritious labeling descriptions should be considered by the consumers which will help them to maintain a balanced diet but are the consumers aware of the consequences of consuming the wrong product with false information. This mixed approach method has provid…

Nutrition paves the way to environmental toxicants and influences fetal development during pregnancy
subject: Diet; Heavy metals; Neurodevelopment; Preeclampsia; Pregnancy nutrients; Toxic chemicals
description: Nutrition plays a major role in the healthy pregnancy and development of the fetus. In addition, nutrition can expose humans to a wide range of potentially hazardous environmental constituents, such as organic pollutants and heavy metals from marine or agricultural food products while processing, producing, and packaging. Humans constantly face these constituents through air, water, soil, food, and domestic products. During pregnancy, the rate of cellular division and differentiation is higher; exposure to any of these environmental toxicants can lead to developmental defects as they cross the placental barrier and, in some cases, can harm the successive generation too, as some contaminants can act on the reproductive cells of the fetus (Diethylstilbestrol). Pregnant women are considered a vulnerable population to food contaminant exposure and require a proper dietary chart and conscious food choices. Food is a source of both essential nutrients and environmental toxicants. Here, we have researched the possible toxicants of the food industry and their influence on the fetus's in-utero development, along with the importance of dietary interventions and the need to balance a healthy diet to overcome the harms. The cumulative exposure to environmental toxicants can influence the mother's prenatal environment and affect the fetus's development. 2023

Nutritional Value, Fatty Acid and Phytochemical Composition, and Antioxidant Properties of Mysore Fig (Ficus drupacea Thunb.) Fruits
subject: antioxidant activity; Ficus drupacea; minerals; mysore fig; nutrients; proximate analysis
description: Ficus drupacea is a fruit-bearing tree that is distributed in Southeast Asia and Australia. The objective of this research was to ascertain the following with regard to ripened fruits: (i) their nutritional value, (ii) their mineral status, (iii) the fatty acid composition of fruit and seed oil, (iv) their phytochemical makeup, and (v) their antioxidant properties. The ripened fruits contained 3.21%, 3.25%, 0.92%, 1.47%, and 2.20% carbohydrate, protein, fat, ash, and fiber, respectively. Fruits had an energy content of 30.18 kcal/100 g. In terms of mineral content, the fruit was rich in potassium, magnesium, calcium, and nitrogen, with values of 21.03, 13.24, 11.07, and 4.13 mg/g DW. Iron, zinc, manganese, and boron had values of 686.67, 124.33, 114.40, and 35.78 g/g DW, respectively. The contents of oxalate and phytate were 14.44 and 2.8 mg/g FW, respectively. The fruit and seed oil content were 0.67 and 8.07%, respectively, and the oils physicochemical properties were comparable to those of fig fruit and seed oils. Omega-3 (?-linolenic acid), omega-6 (linoleic acid), and omega-9 (oleic acid) fatty acids were abundant in the oils. Fruit extracts in acetone, methanol, and water have greater concentrations of phenolics, flavonoids, and alkaloids. The 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, total antioxidant activity, and ferric reducing antioxidant power assays demonstrated increased antioxidant activities in close correlation with the higher concentrations of phenolics, flavonoids, and alkaloids. The results of this study demonstrate that the fruits of F. drupacea are a strong source of nutrients and phytochemicals, and they merit more investigation and thought for possible uses. 2024 by the authors.
