Mentha spicata assisted AgCuO nanocomposite enables anti-diabetic and vitamin-C sensing activities
Diabetes mellitus (DM), a multifactorial chronic health condition, affects a sizable portion of the global population, and more people are expected to contract it in the future, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). Diabetes mellitus can be treated with conventional drugs, but most of the medications have a variety of side effects. The use of nanocomposites (NCs) to treat diabetes has been prioritized in this scenario. In this study, AgCuO NCs were synthesized using a green method using Mentha spicata leaf extract and their physicochemical properties were investigated with a variety of analytical techniques. According to an extensive in vivo and in vitro analysis of the biological activities of as-synthesized AgCuO NCs, AgCuO NCs possess effective antibacterial, anti-diabetic, and anti-hyperlipidemic characteristics. When AgCuO NCs are administered to STZ-induced animals in a concentration-based manner, the blood levels of inflammatory and liver marker enzymes are reduced and antioxidant enzyme levels are increased. Besides, AgCuO NCs exhibit excellent sensing activity with a limit of detection of 86 nM against Vitamin-C. This study reveals that AgCuO NCs derived from Mentha spicata may, therefore, prove to be a very successful anti-diabetic and biosensor candidate in the future. 2024 Elsevier B.V. -

An efficient classification of cirrhosis liver disease using hybrid convolutional neural network-capsule network
Liver cirrhosis is the diffuse and advanced phase of liver disease. Several morphological methods are used for imaging modalities. But, these modalities are biased and lack in higher detection accuracy. Hence, this work introduces automated cirrhosis liver disease classification using an optimized hybrid deep learning model. In this work, Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) is considered for the process. Initially, an Extended Guided Filter (EGF) is used for eliminating the noise from input MRI images. Binomial thresholding is used to segment the tumor from the image. Then, Feature Extraction (FE) phase is carried out by Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) and Gray level Run-length Matrix (GRLM). Finally, a hybrid of two Deep Learning (DL) algorithms Convolutional Neural Network and Capsule Network (HCNN-CN) are integrated to classify the Cirrhosis liver disease. Moreover, for fine tuning the parameters of the neural network, an optimization approach Adaptive Emperor Penguin Optimization (AEPO) is used. The proposed HCNN-CN-AEPO is compared over several approaches and depicted accuracy and sensitivity value of 0.993 and 0.986 on the real time dataset. The experimental results proved that the proposed HCNN-CN-AEPO can exactly diagnose the tumour. 2022 Elsevier Ltd -
The nutraceutical properties and health benefits of pseudocereals: a comprehensive treatise
This review article depicts the possible replacement of staple cereal sources with some pseudocereals like Chia, Quinoa, Buckwheat, and Amaranth, which not only provide recommended daily allowance of all nutrients but also help to reduce the chances of many non-communicable infections owing to the presence of several bioactive compounds. These pseudocereals are neglected plant seeds and should be added in our routine diet. Besides, they can serve as nutraceuticals in combating various diseases by improving the health status of the consumers. The bioactive compounds like rutin, quercetin, peptide chains, angiotensin I, and many other antioxidants present in these plant seeds help to reduce the oxidative stress in the body which leads toward better health of the consumers. All these pseudocereals have high quantity of soluble fiber which helps to regulate bowel movement, control hypercholesterolemia (presence of high plasma cholesterol levels), hypertension (high blood pressure), and cardiovascular diseases. The ultimate result of consumption of pseudocereals either as a whole or in combination with true cereals as staple food may help to retain the integrity of the human body which increases the life expectancy by slowing down the aging process. 2022 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. -

Development challenges for agriculture in Maharashtra
Maharashtra is heralded as one of the economically advanced states, but this illusion crashed under the attack of COVID-19 virus and economic deterioration is expected to follow. It is argued here that the state policy dished out a raw deal to the agricultural sector and set the sector under severe stress. The path of this retrogression, reasons behind the trends and the possible policy platform for the last six decades are traced. Stagnation has gripped the agricultural sector, and it is losing cultivable land to other uses. This is accompanied by a sharp increase in small and marginal holdings. Surprisingly, the state has no agricultural policy document in place and the sector largely depends on only sporadic firefighting approaches with a policy paralysis. 2020 Economic and Political Weekly.

The broad-basing process in India and muslims
Muslims are recognised as numerically the most important among religious minorities in India. Broad-Basing has covered them, but the rate of catching up with the rest is not satisfactory. There has been a faster decline in poverty rate among Muslims than among the rest. The preponderance of the informal economy into which most of the Muslim workers are caught, their lower representation in higher education and gender biases are major stumbling blocks in their progress. The lower work participation of Muslim women is a significant factor in Muslims lagging behind others in employment. Most Muslim converts in India are believed to have come from the lower social groups, particularly artisans. Rural artisans suffered deprivation both during the colonial period due to cheaper imports of manufactured goods from England, and also subsequently after independence due to the rise of modern industry. Most of the artisans were reduced to the status of agricultural labourers. Thus the destiny of Muslims in India is tied up greatly with that of the informal sector. Their Broad-Basing can be promoted with the improvement in the status of the informal sector. 2020 selection and editorial matter, M. V. Nadkarni. -
Sex determination using finger print ridge density among the medical students of NIMS medical college, Jaipur
To determine the sex of an individual plays an important role among forensic pathologists and scientists particularly when the fingerprints recovered from the crime scene does not match any of the criminal record so in that case fingerprint ridge density plays an important role in determining the sex of an individual. The present study was done among the 100 medical students of NIMS Medical college (50 males and 50 females) shobha nagar, Jaipur. Finger ridge density was counted on the radial border of each print. Result of the study shows that females have higher number of finger ridge density count as compared to males. Application of Bayes theorem suggests that finger print ridge density count <14ridges/25mm2 is more likely to be male while finger print ridge density count >14ridges/25mm2 is more likely to be female. 2016, World Informations Syndicate.

Offline Handwritten Character and Numeral Recognition: A Kernel-Based Approach
Automatic character recognition for the handwritten Indic script is a challenging area for research in the field of pattern recognition. Although a great amount of research work has been reported, all the state-of-the-art methods are limited with optimal features. This article aims to suggest a well-defined recognition model which harnessed upon handwritten Odia characters and numerals by implementing a novel process of decomposition in terms of 3rd level fast discrete curvelet transform (FDCT) to get higher dimension feature vector. After that, kernel-principal component analysis (K-PCA) is considered to obtain optimal features from FDCT feature. Finally, the classification is performed by using probabilistic neural network (PNN) on a handwritten Odia character and numeral dataset from both NIT Rourkela and IIT Bhubaneswar. The outcome of the proposed scheme performs better compared to existing models with optimized Gaussian kernel-based feature sets. Copyright 2022, IGI Global. -
Inter-State Migration, Footloose Labour and Accessibility to Health Care: An Exploration among Metro Workers of a Camp in Bengaluru
The neoliberal political economy that India adopted in 1991 has brought in huge Foreign Direct Investments, which has led to a perceptible increase in the number of migrants in the major cities of India due to various structural reasons in their place of origin and rapid developmental activities in the cities. Bengaluru has the second largest migrant population after Mumbai, and as per the labour department of the government of Karnataka; there are more than 65 lakh migrant workers in Karnataka, who are involved in various developmental projects, including the metro railway project in Bangalore. Even though the Karnataka Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board (KBOCWWB) offers certain social security, including health care for registered migrants, they must wait more than a year to get these benefits. With privatisation and increased out-of-pocket expenditure for health related issues, the migrants face a major hurdle in surviving at the migrated workplaces. Many of them are unaware of welfare boards, and the number of migrants who are registered with them is very small. This paper aims to understand the accessibility of health facilities for migrant workers working in the Bengaluru Metro Project. This research will understand the legal, economic and psychological aspects related to the health status of migrant workers through qualitative study. The study used in-depth interviews to elicit responses from selected inter-state migrant workers to understand their access towards health facilities. The thematic analysis of the interview transcripts revealed a substantive gap in workers access to health facilities. The unregulated working conditions have added more stress to the workers, and due to poverty and unemployment back home, these hurdles are not forcing them to go back. More awareness creating interventions from the government can transform their lives. (2024), (University of Duisburg). All rights reserved. -
