Periods and Paychecks: Navigating Menstrual Leave in Modern Employment
Authors: - Sowmuki P
Published: February 2025

This research paper deeply explores the ideologies of menstrual leave among various parts of the nation and across the globe in the status of Modern Employment. It also examines the concept of menstrual leave and its implications for workplace equity, employee well-being, and organisational productivity. The study explores the impact of menstrual symptoms on work performance, highlighting how discomfort and illness can lead to absenteeism and decreased productivity in the workspace. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing policies and employee experiences, this paper advocates for implementing menstrual leave as a supportive measure that acknowledges the realities of menstruation. The research also addresses potential challenges, such as stigma and unequal treatment, while emphasizing the importance of fostering an inclusive workplace culture. By promoting open dialogue and implementing well-defined menstrual leave policies, organizations can enhance employee satisfaction, reduce absenteeism, and contribute to a more equitable work environment. The findings suggest that menstrual leave is not only a matter of health equity but also a strategic investment in overall organizational success. Though it is addressed in major parts of the country, surveys show that it is ironically unfavourable to working women. In approval of the survey, this probe further emphasizes the stumbles faced by women in the workplace. The purpose of the study is to identify if Menstrual leaves are primarily used by women who need them. Also, the researcher wants to point out the dilemma faced by women in gaining both menstrual leave and not losing their already hand-slipping job offers which will be analyzed based on the Doctrinal method. Further, it addresses advocacy and activism in shaping a workplace suitable for women, which also proves to have a crucial impact on work efficiency.

Published: February 2025

This study examined the academic and licensure performance of Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSE) graduates from Pangasinan State University Binmaley Campus from 2014 to 2023. It aimed to analyze their General Weighted Averages (GWA), Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) ratings, employment status, and the relationship between academic performance and licensure outcomes. Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were utilized to interpret the data, which revealed consistent trends in academic performance and LET ratings over the years. The average GWA ranged from 85.50 to 88.50, while LET ratings varied from 76.77 to 80.03. Employment data indicated a general increase in employability, particularly for graduates with higher LET ratings. The findings established a moderate positive correlation (r = 0.601) between GWA and LET ratings, suggesting that strong academic performance contributes to licensure success. However, the relationship was not statistically significant (p = 0.066), implying the influence of other factors such as test-taking skills and external preparation. Notably, the institution's performance consistently outpaced national averages, reflecting effective academic and licensure preparation strategies. The study recommends regular curriculum alignment with LET requirements, enhanced review programs, and comprehensive graduate tracking to provide insights into employment outcomes. Supplemental measures, such as workshops on test-taking strategies and alumni mentorship, are proposed to improve licensure readiness. These findings underscore the importance of academic excellence in achieving licensure success and professional readiness, while emphasizing the need for institutional support in addressing broader licensure preparation factors.

Role of Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI) in Adverse Drug Event Monitoring for medication safety in patient
Authors: - Aarti , - Sanjay Kumar Singh , - Mithilesh Kumar
Published: February 2025

A pharmacovigilance system is a specialized domain within the pharmacological sciences that pertains to the reporting of Adverse Event Reactions associated with medical devices and pharmaceuticals. An adverse event represents a potential public health concern that necessitates continuous documentation, evaluation, and surveillance. Regulatory measures about pharmaceuticals have been enhanced and fortified since the catastrophic sulphanilamide incident of 1937 and the thalidomide tragedy of 1960. In response to these historical events, a Pharmacovigilance System was established, designed to receive, diagnose, assess, monitor, and mitigate the detrimental effects associated with medical products.(1)
The Central Drug Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) oversees the pharmacovigilance framework in India. Within India, the pharmacovigilance initiative is tasked with the oversight of adverse drug responses. India has instituted a comprehensive Pharmacovigilance Program to monitor and document adverse drug reactions. Similarly, the United States has implemented stringent regulations to fortify the pharmacovigilance requirements set forth by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA). The World Health Organization (WHO) has established an International Monitoring System in cooperation with the Uppsala (1–3)Monitoring Centre (UMC).
Improving patient safety and welfare in the Indian population by monitoring drug safety & thereby reducing the risk associated with the use of medicines is the primary mission of the pharmacovigilance program in India. Advocating for safe drug use may become a top focus for the Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission, which also functions as the National Coordination Centre for India's Pharmacovigilance Program. The risk of adverse reactions necessitated the pharmacovigilance system for patient safety. A literature search documented better health literacy of patients through intervention. (3)

Economic Empowerment of Tribal Women in India through NGOs, SHGs and MFIs – A Critical Review
Authors: - Dr.K.B.Nayak
Published: February 2025

Today, though the tribal people constituting about 8.6 percent of India’s population is an integral part of India's socio-economic and political fabric, but they are considered as the most backward and weakest sections of the population in terms of various factors of their backward socio-economic status such as poverty, illiteracy, lack of developmental facilities and adequate primary health facilities etc. Throughout India, half of tribal population constitutes women who are vulnerable in terms of their socio-economic status today. In fact, women in tribal society play a vital role in their social, cultural, economic and religious ways of life and are considered as an economic asset in their society. But they are still lagging far behind in their different walks of life like education, employment, good health and economic empowerment etc. Poverty is one of the major factors that deprive them not only from fulfilling their basic needs of life but also from opportunities to participation in development programs and decision-making process. In tribal area, the condition of women is very measurable even in their day-to-day life. They spend the greatest amount of their time and energy in collecting fuel, fodder water, looking after livestock and kitchen. It is acute poverty which pushes them towards the down - to the lowest strata of society. Therefore, there is a need of economic empowerment of tribal women in India. In this paper, an attempt has been made to intensively review available literature and studies on various issues and policy strategies for economic empowerment of tribal women in India. A number studies in different periods have revealed significant improvement in the status of tribal women through Micro-Finance facility and because of intervention of NGOs, SHGs and MFIs in rural India. Finally, this paper suggests some remedial measures for economic empowerment of tribal women in India. For instance, besides pro-women policies in respect of “land relations”, more help and support are needed from the government, which will promote the NGOs, SHGs and MFIs to attain expected results in near future.
A Pilot Study: Comparing Inter-Role Conflict, Self-Efficacy, and Home Environment in Early Adulthood Females
Authors: - Ankita Singh , - Mahendra Kumar
Published: February 2025

Societal happenings of women's lives showcase an array of responsibilities being performed by them, including their chores and associative chores of their family members, etc. Inter-role conflict, self-efficacy, and home environment are critical factors influencing the mental health and well-being of women, particularly during early adulthood (ages 20 to 40). This study investigates the interplay between these variables among homemakers and employed females, exploring how conflicting role demands impact their psychological health and ability to manage responsibilities effectively. The study found that homemakers reported significantly higher self-efficacy (M = 36.88) than employed individuals (M = 34.45, p < .001), suggesting greater perceived control over responsibilities (Bandura, 1997). However, no significant difference was found in role conflict between the two groups (p = .120), indicating that both experience similar levels of work-family dynamics (Greenhaus & Beutell, 1985; Kossek & Ozeki, 1998). Employed individuals reported a significantly more positive family environment (M = 437.57) compared to homemakers (M = 427.21, p < .001), possibly due to financial stability and structured time management (Bronfenbrenner, 1986; Perry-Jenkins et al., 2013). These findings suggest that employment status influences self-efficacy and family environment but does not significantly impact role conflict.
Tribal health in Indian context – Need for an extensive policy
Authors: - R. Rajendran , - K. Vijayakumar
Published: February 2025

The degree of health in a community is a crucial determinant of its well-being. Health is one of the most significant aspects of human growth and development. The world's second-largest tribal population resides in India. One of the most socioeconomically disadvantaged groups is the tribal population. Due to their vulnerability and lack, tribal groups have many difficulties in many different areas, and health is one of the main issues that makes these problems worse. For some time, tribal health has been a topic of continuous debate and thought. The tribal community, which has long been naive and irresponsible, is one of the most neglected and vulnerable groups in the country. Its socioeconomic level, low health, and unhygienic environments make it more vulnerable to disaster and change. This study aims to raise awareness of the various facets of tribal health and the medical resources available in the country's tribal populations. This article also attempts to explain the need for a comprehensive health policy to address the health requirements of the country's indigenous population. It is believed that a comprehensive national health program is required to reduce health problems among the tribal population. To address the country's health issues and its correlations, a comprehensive national policy on tribal health is desperately needed.

Scarcity Marketing across Economies: Contrast between Global North and Global South Market Strategies
Authors: - Jaiveer Makkar
Published: February 2025

This research paper investigates the application and effects of scarcity marketing strategies across the diverse economic environments of the Global North and Global South. Differentiating itself from other promotional strategies, scarcity marketing, founded on theories such as commodity theory and psychological reactance, has become a popular tool in the marketing arsenal especially in the digital age — however, its form and effectiveness differs based on economic context. This study shows contrast here with the ways in which scarcity is used in the Global North to claim luxury, exclusivity and technological sophistication for brands by building their scarcity strategies around digital platforms, while in the Global South, genuine scarcity or rarity is more common so that the talk tends to be of building scarcity with more nuance. These differences make it crucial to adopt the methods that take into account concerns about affordability, cultural values and earning the trust of communities. While acknowledging the limited nature of the current literature, especially the shortage of literature on the Global South, this review paper strives to lay the groundwork for the establishment of contextually relevant, ethical, and sustainable marketing practices in both Global North and Global South markets. It adds on the ongoing discussion about how marketing approaches need to adjust to shifting economic landscapes and consumer priorities.

Authors: - Prachi Hitendragiri Goswami , - Khyati Shah
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND: Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a progressive disorder of the Central Nervous System. Gait impairments are a common and early feature of PD, and are major cause of functional dependence, falls and death. Approximately 50% of Parkinson's patients have freezing of gait (FOG). Alternative gait rehabilitation technique, such external sensory cueing, which incorporates visual, auditory, and tactile stimulations, have received a lot of attention lately. AIM OF STUDY: To study the effectiveness of visual cues & auditory cues on gait parameters in individuals with Parkinson’s disease. METHODOLOGY: 30 subjects were selected for study. Subjects were randomly allocated into two groups. Group 1: Auditory cue Group 2: Visual cue, for 1 time/day, 5 days/week, 4 weeks and 20-30 minutes gait training. Both groups receive Conventional Physiotherapy for 20-30 minutes of session. Dynamic Foot Print, Velocity, Cadence and Tinetti Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment Test (POMA-G) were taken as an outcome measures and checked before intervention and after the end of 4 weeks. RESULT: Result shows there is statistically significant difference in within group analysis in step length, stride length, velocity & POMA-G but no difference was found in cadence in both groups (p-value < 0.05). Between group analysis shows statistically significant improvement in POMA-G (p-value < 0.05), but not in step length, stride length, cadence and velocity (p-value ˃ 0.05). CONCLUSION: As results shows improvement in auditory cue and visual cue groups but there is no significant difference in between group analysis on gait parameters which are step length, stride length, cadence, velocity and POMA-G. It suggests that both interventions are beneficial and can be used in clinical practice easily for the patients who have difficulty in walking with minimum cost of therapists and patients as well.
Emerging Mappila - A Critical Assessment of Social Arbitrations in Malabar Muslims at the Post-1970’s Gulf Boom
Authors: - Muhammed Ashique PP
Published: February 2025

It has often been considered that many of the landscapes of Kerala are subjected to various socio-economic transformations due to numerous historical shiftings. The early locations include three major regions; Travancore, Cochin and Malabar. Each of them has unique social, economic and cultural features distinct from each other. Malabar region contains majority of state’s Muslim population, where they were known as Mappilas. In history, their contributions in different social dynamics, as well as their string attempts to counter the imperialistic forces in the pre colonial, colonial, and post colonial periods were unique and worthier than any other communities in rest of the state. But they were excluded from the mainstream society due to various external and internal factors within various social constructions. Malabar region had a glorious trade relation with Arabs since the pre-colonial era and this flourished trade of Indian products declined as a result of British foreign policies later on.
Here, in the proposed paper, I would like to engage with the socio-economic transformations, cultural shifting and the progression of Mappilas from margin to mainstream during the 1970’s as a result of gulf boom in Malabar. This paper reveals the experiences of a Mappila Muslim with the impact of gulf boom in the Malabar region and how it boosted the empowerment of a blighted community. This paper will empirically analyse the regional development of each of these three locations of the state and tries to prove that the Malabar region was completely neglected by various social domains sketching it as an area of polarized people. This paper, by evaluating the impact of Nithaqath law of Saudi Arabia in Malabar economy, concludes that the social and economic status of Mappila Muslim was resulted by nothing but petro dollar.

Authors: Chadaryanti Diyah , Susilawati Dewi
Published: February 2025

Background: IUD is one of the non-hormonal contraceptive methods and is considered an ideal long-term contraceptive method for spacing pregnancies. The advantages of using IUD include requiring only one insertion for a long period of time at a low cost, being safe as it does not have systemic effects on the body, not affecting breastfeeding, and allowing for quick return of fertility after removal. One of the factors contributing to the low usage of IUD contraception is the low level of knowledge among Women of Reproductive Age (WRA) regarding IUD contraception.Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of IUD contraception education through animated video media in increasing knowledge and attitudes among mothers of Childbearing Age (CBA).Research Methodology: The research method employed in this study is a Pre-Experimental Design using the One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The study was conducted at Pusyandu Susukan, East Jakarta, with a sample size of 45 individuals in Desember 2021. The health promotion media provided was in the form of a video about IUD.Results: The analysis revealed a significant difference in the level of knowledge among women of childbearing age before and after receiving health promotion, with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). It is recommended that women of childbearing age increase their knowledge about IUD contraception by attending health education sessions conducted by healthcare providers and seeking information about IUD contraception at nearby healthcare facilities. The Research Conducted on Desember 2021Conclusion and Recommendations: IUD contraception education through animated video media is effective in improving knowledge and attitudes among mothers of Childbearing Age (CBA).

On the relative growth of entire Dirichlet series with respect to Dirichlet series absolutely converging in half-plane
Authors: Sheremeta Myroslav M. , Mulyava Oksana M.
Published: February 2025

Let $\Lambda=(\lambda_n)$ be an increasing to $+\infty$ sequence of non-negative numbers, $\lambda_0=0$,
and by $S(\Lambda, A)$ we denote a class of Dirichlet series
$F(s)=\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty}f_n\exp\{s\lambda_n\},\, s=\sigma+it,$
with the abscissa of the absolute convergence $\sigma_a=A\in (-\infty, +\infty]$. For $\sigma<A$ we put
$M_F(\sigma)=\sup\{|F(\sigma+it)|:\,t\in{\Bbb R}\}$. The growth of the function $F\in S(\Lambda, +\infty)$
with respect to the function $G(s)=\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty}g_n\exp\{s\lambda_n\}\in S(\Lambda, 0)$ we identify
with the growth of the function $1/|M^{-1}_G(M_F(\sigma))|$ as $\sigma\to+\infty$. In terms of generalized orders,
the connection between the growth of this function and the behavior of the coefficients $f_n$ and $g_n$ has been studied.

It is assumed that each oscillator interacts with several of its neighbors on both sides. The main result concerns the existence of solitary traveling waves solutions in such equations. By means of the critical point theory, sufficient conditions for the existence of such solutions are obtained.
Fixed point theorems for weak, partial, Bianchini and Chatterjea-Bianchini contractions in semimetric spaces with triangle functions
Authors: Bisht Ravindra K. , Petrov Evgen O.
Published: February 2025

This paper advances a line of research in fixed point theory initiated by M. Bessenyei and Z. P\'ales, building on their introduction of the triangle function concept in [J. Nonlinear Convex Anal, Vol 18 (3), 515--524 (2017)]. By applying this concept, the study revises several well-known fixed point theorems in metric spaces, extending their applicability to semimetric spaces with triangle functions. The paper focuses on general theorems involving weak, partial, Bianchini and Chatterjea-Bianchini contractions, deriving corollaries relevant to metric spaces, $b$-metric spaces, ultrametric spaces, and distance spaces with power triangle functions. Notably, several new and interesting findings emerge in the context of weak and partial contractions.
Ultrametric-preserving functions as monoid endomorphisms
Authors: Dovgoshey Oleksiy
Published: February 2025

Let $\mathbb{R}^{+}=[0, \infty)$ and let $\mathbf{End}_{\RR^+}$ be the set of all endomorphisms of the monoid $(\RR^+, \vee)$. The set $\mathbf{End}_{\RR^+}$ is a monoid with respect to the operation of the function composition $g \circ f$. It is shown that $g : \RR^+ \to \RR^+$ is pseudoultrametric-preserving iff $g \in \mathbf{End}_{\RR^+}$. In particular, a function $f : \RR^+ \to \RR^+$ is ultrametrics-preserving iff it is an endomorphism of $(\RR^+,\vee)$ with kelnel consisting only the zero point. We prove that a given $\mathbf{A} \subseteq \mathbf{End}_{\RR^+}$ is a submonoid of $(\mathbf{End}, \circ)$ iff there is a class $\mathbf{X}$ of pseudoultrametric spaces such that $\mathbf{A}$ coincides with the set of all functions which preserve the spaces from $\mathbf{X}$. An explicit construction of such $\mathbf{X}$ is given.

First of all, we study the Hilbert boundary value problem for the Beltrami equations with sources in Jordan domains of the complex plane. Assuming that the coefficient of the problem is a function of countable bounded variation and the boundary date is measurable with respect to the logarithmic capacity, we prove the existence of nonclassical solutions of the problem in the sense of limits along all non-tangential paths quasi-everywhere on the boundary.
In another case, when the notion of the boundary limits is weakened and is understood in the sense of limits along arbitrary systems of arcs by Bagemihl-Seidel, the Hilbert problem is already solved by us with arbitrary measurable coefficients. In this case, we also prove here similar solvability theorems for the Riemann boundary value problem on the conjugation, including also nonlinear boundary conditions.
Our final theorems on mixed boundary conditions allows us, in particular, to obtain a solution to the Poincare boundary value problem on directional derivatives, including the nonlinear case. Note that all found solutions are represented through generalized analytic functions with sources.
Polygons and non-starlikeness of Teichmüller spaces
Authors: Krushkal Samuel L.
Published: February 2025

The problem of starlikenness of Teichm\"{u}ller spaces in Bers' embedding has been raised in 1974 and is solved (negatively) for Teichm\"{u}ller spaces of sufficiently large dimensions.
The original proof given by the author relies on the existence of conformally rigid domains established by Thurston.
Later the author found another proof of non-starlikeness of universal Teichm\"{u}ller space based on geometric features of rectilinear polygons.
This paper provides a complete solution of the problem for Teichm\"{u}ller spaces $\T(g,0)$ of closed Riemann surfaces of genus $g \ge 2$.

Mappings that satisfy the inverse Poletsky inequality in a domain of the Euclidean space have been studied. Under certain conditions on the definition and mapped domains, it was found that they have a continuous extension to the boundary in terms of prime ends if the majorant involved in the Poletsky inequality is integrable over spheres. Under some additional conditions, the extension mentioned above is discrete.

The paper is devoted to the study of the approximation properties of the biharmonic Poisson integral for the upper half-plane. The problem of approximating functions by biharmonic Poisson operators for the upper half-plane in the metric space $\displaystyle{L}_{p}\left(-\infty,+\infty\right)$ is considered. The main result of the paper is based on the representation of the integral kernel of the biharmonic Poisson integral obtained by applying the parameterization approach. It was found that the considered integral kernel belongs to the class of delta-shaped kernels. An upper bound is obtained for the approximation of functions by biharmonic Poisson operators in terms of the first-order modulus of continuity.

The most popular and efficient way for fertilization is soil application which needs to be applied in more significant quantities. Nevertheless, foliar fertilization is more practical and cost-effective in some situations. The main diagnostic methods for crop nutrients are foliar and soil fertilization tests to improve crop growth responses. Due to insufficient fertilizer application, particularly when utilizing the usual approach as a soil fertilizer addition, soil degradation will continue and become more expensive and impacting plant growth. To evaluate the influence on the maize vegetative growth, several NPK fertilizer levels were applied using foliar spraying, soil application and their combination treatments at different dosages. Experimental design was factorialal arrangement in a complete randomized block design (CRBD) with three replicates.   Data analysis using Genstat softwar (Discovery edition3). The droplet properties such as volume median diameter, droplet deposition, uniformity, and coverage percentage are influenced by the layer of the plant canopy. In addition, the main growth characteristics of maize plants were measured. The upper layers of the plant canopy are the more in the spray deposition (0.529 µl.cm-2), but the higher coverage percentage (33.36%) and the better deposition uniformity (5.54%) obtained in the bottom layers of the maize canopy. The findings demonstrate also a considerable increase in plant height, leaf number, leaf area, stem diameter, wet weight, dry weight, and percentage of N content in plants treated with foliar application and soil fertilization simultaneously (47.52cm, 14.98 leaf.plant-1, 8077, 6.06cm, 52.13gm, 14.31gm, and 2.71%) respectively. The findings imply that soil fertilization and foliar spraying can be used to enhance maize growth.

The study aims at improving the quality characteristics of low-fat beef burgers. This is done by adding rice bran due to its high fibre content, which reached 40.27%. The burger was prepared using four treatments: the first treatment was a control treatment, the second treatment was through adding rice bran by 10%, the third treatment by 20%, and the fourth treatment by 30%. The chemical content of the product was thoroughly studied. The product was stored in the freezer (-18 ±2) for 90 days. during which some qualitative characteristics were monitored, including moisture, protein, fat, ash, carbohydrates, fibre, and cholesterol. As well as the physical characteristics, which included water holding capacity, loss by dissolving, loss by cooking, shrinkage by diameter, cooking yield, retained moisture, and retained fat. Chemical indicators included thiobarbituric acid and sensory characteristics, as well as color, flavor, tenderness, juiciness, and general acceptability. The results brought to light an increase in the fibre content in the burger prepared by increasing the addition of rice bran. It increased from 10.52% when 10% rice bran to 14.12% and 18.88% when rise adding rice bran to 20% and 30% respectively. The concentration of cholesterol decreased from 68.96 in control to 64.57, 61.86 and 57.43 mg.100-1 gm-1 when adding 10%, 20% and 30% rice bran respectively. Thiobarbituric acid decreased from 0.48 in control to 0.28 m.kg-1 when adding 30%.  The loss after thawing, the cooking, and the shrinkage in diameter was also decreased with adding rice bran. The ability to hold water, the cooking yield, the percentage of retained moisture, and retained fat also increased. The duration of storage also had a significant (p<0.05) effect on the studied traits. The treatments to which rice bran was added also obtained acceptable evaluation scores, close to the evaluation scores of the control treatment. Especially the treatments to which 20% rice bran was added. The results disclosed that the addition of rice bran improved all quality characteristics of the product.

In the current study, we evaluated genetic variation and bottleneck analyses of Iraqi native cows in three locations of Babylon province. A total of 70 individuals of three cows' population were genotyped using ten the short tandem repeat markers (STR). The STR loci showed high variation of polymorphism. The average total number of alleles (TNA) and effective number of alleles (Ae) values were 5.30± 0.17 and 3.89± 0.11, respectively. The TNA at the marker level ranged from 3.00 (ETH3) to 8.00 (TGLA227), while the Ae ranged from 2.69 (ETH3) to 5.54 (TGLA227). The Shannon index (I) at the marker level ranged from 1.05 (ETH3) to 1.87 (TGLA227), with mean 1.48± 0.28. Also, the mean polymorphism information content (PIC) was 0.65±0.15, with a range of 0.54 (ETH3) to 0.81 (TGLA227). The average observed heterozygosity (Obs_Het) was 0.54 ± 0.18 and varied from 0.16 (ETH3) to 0.77 (TGLA53). The average expected heterozygosity (Exp_Het) was 0.75±0.25, with a range of 0.62 (ETH3) to 0.85 (TGLA227). The means HS unbiased gene diversity, and inbreeding coefficient (FIS) were 0.73±0.23, and 0.24±0.09, respectively. The mean Fis, Fit and Fst, and gene flow (Nm) were 0.296 ± 0.065, 0.314 ± 0.090, 0.032 ± 0.002, and 7.259 ± 2.113 respectively.  The native cow's population is not at bottleneck, and normal L-shaped distribution of allele frequencies, that it has not experienced any recent decline in effective population size and has remained in equilibrium between mutation and drift. The Bayesian analysis showed that all animals were heterogeneous and formed three distinct clusters.
