 Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the 'Ni'matnama, Book of Delights of the Sultans of Mandu' as a primary source which encapsulates the unique epicurean culture of medieval Malwa under the rule of Ghiyath Shah who commissioned the text under his very unpolitical reign. The text depicts recipes, aphrodisiacs as well as perfumes adored by the Sultan during that time, which also subsequently came to dominate the elite circles. It was sponsored under the royal aegis of the Sultan indulged in extreme pleasures of life leaving behind the matters of polity and bureaucracy; the latter being matters of extreme interests of his various contemporary rulers, as opposed to his. It is, therefore, my aim to asses this distinct and invaluable source in reshaping our understanding of the kingdom of Malwa during the tumultuous 16th century, an era which has been understood more politically than culturally.

ABSTRACT: The research review is conducted to assess the clinical pharmacist interventions/patient counseling impact on cancer patients quality of life (QoL). Most of the anticancer drugs have low therapeutic index and significant levels of toxicity which may lead to drug related issues, in such situations the effectiveness of the treatment may be significantly impacted by a clinical pharmacist intervention. A clinical pharmacist intervention includes patient counseling, medication adherence, drug interactions and management of adverse events. The pharmacist intervention has a positive role in increasing chemotherapy related knowledge, improving patient positive emotions dealing with adverse reactions caused by chemotherapy and improving the patients QoL. Hence, the impact of clinical pharmacist interventions especially, patient counselling role and outcome in cancer patients QoL were assessed.

 Abstract

Gandhiji had paid four visits to Assam. In 1921 he was invited by Congress leaders of Assam to propagate the message of non-cooperation movement in Assam. His second visit to Assam in the year 1926 was mainly concerned with the 41st Congress session held at Pandu, Gauhati. But this visit was described as a khadi tour as he focused all his attention on explaining to people the significance of and the need for khadi work. The third visit of Gandhiji to Assam was in the year- 1934, which is described as the Harijan tour during which he spoke about removal of untouchability, which he used to describe often as a curse on Hindu society. His fourth and last visit in 1946 was a visit of historical significance as during this visit Gandhiji inaugurated the Assam branch of Kasturba Gandhi National Memorial Trust. Till Gandhiji's visits, Assam was in its regional cocoon. Gandhiji's visit helped it to pull itself out of the cocoon and its bonding with the national movement got strengthened. His visits provided a new link to cement the emotional bonds between Assam and the people of rest of India. This paper is on the significance of Assam connections of Mahatma Gandhi in strengthening national movement for freedom and in spreading his messages in Assam.

 Abstract

The main purpose of the study is to compare the colour fastness properties of Denim fabric dyed with three natural dyes namely Natural Indigo, Manjistha and Pomegranate Peel. The dye uptake was assessed in terms of general appearance, brilliance of colour, evenness of colour and texture by means of visual inspection. The colour fastness properties of the dye when subjected to laundering, pressing (dry and wet), crocking (dry and wet), and perspiration (acid and alkaline) were assessed and analysed using ANOVA method. From the analysis of the results, it was concluded that Pomegranate Peel dyed samples exhibited remarkable colour fastness properties followed by Natural Indigo dye and Manjistha dyed samples.

 Abstract

With the government's new mission of achieving a $5 trillion economy by 2025, the sector's importance for the economy's socioeconomic growth has grown. COVID-19, which is said to have emerged in Wuhan in December 2019, has caused widespread havoc across the world. It has resulted in a large number of human casualties around the world, especially in Europe, the United States, China, and many other developed economies. The objective of this study is to enumerate and rank the factors influencing the performance of Micro, Small, and Medium-Sized Enterprises (MSME). The results showed that the main drivers are government support, entrepreneurial spirit, and organizational reform. MSMEs can improve their performance by focusing on these components. Additionally, this strategy will improve the resilience and profitability of MSMEs by restructuring their operations.

 Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) are considered to be the main driver behind the creation of work opportunities for both the educated unemployed and the unskilled rural populace in India, a developing country. They work to increase employment opportunities, reduce the rate of poverty, and promote balanced regional growth, all of which are essential components of sustainable development. They use different technological capabilities, offer a variety of goods and services, and vary in size. These industries stand out for their low capital costs, robust job growth, decentralized industrial operations, and utilization of locally available resources, which increases the number of prospective business owners.

 Abstract

A lot of time is wasted queuing to enter the classroom and collect materials. It is very difficult for teachers to deal with many students without technology as they are always there to answer questions. The American student spends 1025 hours a year following the instructions given to him. In daily teaching activities, teachers and professors try to find out if the students (or the audience) were satisfied with the lecture, which parts of the lecture were interesting to them, which presentation techniques and methods were more effective and motivating. something more Previous research has shown that students' attention spans begin to wane after about 10 minutes. As a result, at the end of the lecture, students remember about 65% of the information given in the first 10 minutes, and only 25% in the last 10 minutes. The main contribution of this paper is its innovative approach to the smart classroom environment and the multidisciplinary research project. Our work focuses on using observational and cognitive techniques to explore audiences and their behavior in cognitive environments. The information collected can provide insight into classroom performance levels by correlating sound and movement, presence and intensity. These smart environments can keep students engaged. It provides responses to lessons, useful for instructors to use Python skills to improve the quality of lessons and deliver reminders. A comprehensive review of the Smart Classroom project will highlight new ideas and research.

 Abstract

This research investigates the relationship between perceived stress and sleep quality among medical students, employing a correlational approach. A targeted sample of 100 medical students, aged 18 to 27, will be meticulously selected through stratified random sampling and snowball sampling method. The primary instruments for gauging perceived stress levels will be the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), a widely recognized tool in stress assessment. Simultaneously, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) will be employed to measure the participants' sleep quality. These standardized instruments enhance the reliability and validity of the study's findings. By utilizing a correlational design, the study uncovered the complex relationship between perceived stress and sleep quality, offering insights that can contribute to the broader understanding of mental well-being among medical students. The chosen age range of 18 to 27 ensures a focused examination within a critical developmental period, where stress and sleep patterns may significantly impact overall health. The use of stratified random sampling and snowball sampling method further enhances the study's representativeness, considering potential variations in stress and sleep quality across different demographic factors. The analysis, employing Pearson product-moment correlations, demonstrated a statistically significant negative correlation (p<0.01) between perceived stress levels and sleep quality, clarifying on the intricate relationship between these variables among college students. This methodological choice strengthens the external validity of the findings, allowing for broader generalization. This study also delves into the intricate interplay between sleep quality (SQ) and perceived stress (PS), presenting a comprehensive model encapsulating their reciprocal relationship. Sleep quality is formulated as a function (f) of sleep duration, sleep efficiency, and sleep disturbances, while perceived stress is represented by a function (g) involving life events, daily hassles, and coping mechanisms. The study introduces a temporal aspect, acknowledging that SQ and PS change over time, influenced by external factors. In conclusion, this research adopts a robust methodology, incorporating ethical considerations, standardized assessment tools, and a carefully selected sample. By investigating the correlation between perceived stress and sleep quality among medical students, the study aspires to contribute valuable insights to both academic discourse and practical approaches to supporting the mental health of this specific demographic.
