Published: April 2024

Bladder cancer (BC), arising from bladder epithelial cells, is the most prevalent malignant tumor of the urinary system. Its main pathological variants include transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), squamous cell carcinoma, and adenocarcinoma, with TCC further divided into non-muscle-invasive BC (NMIBC) and muscle-invasive BC (MIBC). NMIBC accounts for 70% of all BC cases and is characterized by a favorable prognosis yet a high recurrence rate (31 – 78%). Conversely, MIBC accounts for the remainder of BC cases, characterized by high heterogeneity and poor prognosis. Current treatment methods for BC predominantly encompass surgical resection, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. However, these methods lack specificity, exhibit limited clinical efficacy, and often yield unsatisfactory treatment outcomes, predisposing BC to recurrence. On the other hand, BC stem cells (BCSCs) are a subset of cells within heterogeneous BC, possessing robust abilities in self-renewal, differentiation, tumorigenicity, metastasis, and drug resistance. They play a pivotal role in the initiation, progression, metastasis, and relapse of BC, rendering them ideal targets for targeted therapy. Research efforts in this field are currently focused on investigating the evolutionary origins, biomarkers, mechanism governing stemness maintenance, drug resistance, metastasis, metabolic reprogramming, immune evasion, and targeted therapies related to BCSCs. This article provides a comprehensive review of the latest advancements in the biological characteristics and therapeutic prospects of BCSCs.

Paxlovid (Nirmatrelvir/ritonavir): An Innovative Method Method for Treating Covid-19?
Authors: - Prathamesh D. Wankhade , - S. G. Jawarkar , - Dr. Monika P. Jadhao
Published: April 2024

Nirmatrelvir Ritonavir 3-c like protease COVID-19 SARS-COV-2Despite the need for innovative, efficient treatment for the Covid Pandemic,
there is currently no curative regimen available, leaving patients to rely on supportive and general treatments. The 3C like-protease (3CLpro) and the main protease (Mpro), two SARS-COV-2 proteins, have been identified as potential targets for antiviral medications. The Mpro might be viable therapeutic target since it plays a significant role in both the pathogenesis of the virus and processing. Nirmatrelvir, an antiviral medication, prevents SARS-CoV-2 from reproducing by blocking Mpro. Another HIV protease inhibitor, ritonavir, was coupled with nirmatrelvir to develop.

Ritonavir inhibits the cytochrome P450 3A metabolizing enzyme, extending the half-life of nirmatrelvir and serving as pharmacological enhancer. Despite major modification of the SARS-COV-2 viral genome, nirmatrelvir still has strong antiviral effectiveness against contemporary coronavirus strains. However, there are still a number of open issues.

The effectiveness of nirmatrelvir and ritonavir in treating SARS-COV-2 infection, as well as their safety and potential adverse effects are discussed in this review of literature.

Authors: - Nagib Mahfuz , - Md. Mahedi Hasan
Published: April 2024

Software Developers often find it painful and tedious to locate or pinpoint the errors that reside in the source code which causes serious hindrance in the progression of developing any software. In the field of software engineering, it is very crucial to understand the software metrics that are directly involved with the progression of the software. Besides, various classification algorithms have been used to foresee the errors in building the software. In this paper, we focus especially on ensemble algorithms as they tend to provide more precise and statistically efficient outcomes than the other traditional algorithms. This paper contains twenty software metrics that are pivotal in identifying errors in software applications. Eight Java projects have been gathered to showcase the significance of the software metrics in predicting errors. In this study, three ensemble methods are considered, MultiBoostAB, Dagging, and Decorate. For a detailed inspection of the performance, accuracy, recall, precision, F-measure, and ROC Curve were appraised. The comparisons exhibit Decorate as the highest-performing method and Dagging as the lowest.
Die by Fire (Isaiah 66: 16): A Study of Divine Justice in Old Testament and in African Yoruba Context
Authors: - Peter Olanrewaju Awojobi
Published: April 2024

This study attempts to reread Isaiah 66: 16 in the light of divine justice in African Yoruba culture in Nigeria. The study survey various uses of fire in ancient Israel and in the African Yoruba tradition. In the event of justice, a parallel is sought between Yahweh and a Yoruba deified divinity called Sango whose presence is marked by fire, thunder and lightning. The parallel is with the view to establish the significance of fire on justice in African Yoruba Christianity. African Biblical Hermeneutics was used for the study. It was discovered that fire was used as medium of divine justice and mercy in African Yoruba tradition. Fire marked divine presence, manifestation of the glory of God, revelation of God’s power, cleansing of human and vessels for holy use, and use for domestic purposes especially cooking. The African Yoruba Christians in Nigeria see fire as a weapon of divine justice. Therefore, in their prayers to God they call down fire to kill their spiritual and physical enemies. They are fond of using the words: ‘die by fire’. In this way, the Bible becomes a sure and reliable weapon in the battles of life and thus makes the biblical text relevant in any context, condition and generation.

Authors: - Akash Pant
Published: April 2024

Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) is a crucial metric for businesses to understand the long-term value of their customers. This research paper delves into the significance of CLV, explores various methods for calculating it through data analysis, and discusses the implications of accurate CLV estimation on business strategies. By leveraging data analytics techniques, businesses can gain valuable insights into customer behaviour, preferences, and profitability, ultimately leading to improved decision-making and enhanced customer relationships.
Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) is a vital metric for businesses to comprehend the long-term value of their customers. The research paper highlights several key points regarding CLV:
Calculation Factors: CLV calculations should consider indirect costs like administrative, marketing, and legal costs, not just direct expenses.
Limitations: CLV based solely on spending may not fully represent a customer's value, as factors like brand advocacy, referrals, and feedback also contribute.
Historical Data: CLV is often calculated using past customer data, which may not accurately predict future customer behaviours due to changing trends and customer preferences.
Pareto's Principle: This principle, known as the 80/20 rule, can be applied to CLV to identify high-value customers and key factors influencing CLV.
Overall, the paper emphasizes the importance of understanding CLV beyond mere spending, considering historical data limitations, and utilizing tools like Pareto's Principle to optimize customer value and business strategies.

Merger and Acquistion in India Banking System
Authors: - Abhay Rana
Published: April 2024

The landscape of the Indian banking sector has undergone significant transformations over the past few decades, with mergers and acquisitions (M&A) playing a pivotal role in its evolution. This trend has been primarily driven by the need for stronger and more resilient banking institutions capable of supporting India's burgeoning economic growth and expanding global footprint. The Indian government, along with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), has actively encouraged consolidation in the banking sector to enhance operational efficiency, achieve economies of scale, and improve risk management practices.

The rationale behind the push for M&A in the Indian banking system includes addressing the issue of non-performing assets (NPAs), which has plagued many banks; increasing competitive advantage in both domestic and international markets; and fostering the development of banks that can be classified as global or regional champions. Moreover, the digital transformation in the banking industry and the emergence of fintech companies have further necessitated traditional banks to reassess their business models and market positions, often leading to strategic mergers or acquisitions.

This paper examines the impact of M&A on the Indian banking system, highlighting key transactions that have reshaped the industry landscape. It delves into the regulatory framework governing M&A in banking, evaluates the successes and challenges post-merger or acquisition, and discusses the implications for stakeholders, including implications for market competition, customer service, and employee welfare. The analysis also explores how M&A activities align with broader economic reforms and financial inclusion goals in India.

Authors: - Nyamura, K Gemtessa , - Bongani Ngwenya
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Rapid urbanization in Ethiopia, driven by the government's efforts to modernize and diversify the economy, has led to significant land expropriation in the capital city of Addis Ababa and its surrounding areas. This process has resulted in the displacement of peri-urban indigenous communities, particularly in the Addis Ababa and Sheger cities in Oromia region. This study investigates the socio-economic, cultural, and policy implications of land acquisition on these communities. Through a comprehensive literature review and analysis of a survey of 223 evicted households in Lemmi Kura Sub city of Addis Ababa, we examine the consequences of land dispossession, including loss of livelihood, food insecurity, and inadequate compensation and rehabilitation measures. We also explore potential mitigation strategies, such as sustainable urban planning, land use management, and strengthening community resilience. Our findings highlight the urgent need for inclusive policies that prioritize the rights and well-being of marginalized communities while promoting sustainable urban development.

Published: April 2024

This article highlights the potential for change of economic activity in historically underprivileged regions, focusing into the dynamic areas of rural women's empowerment through entrepreneurial initiatives. Entrepreneurial efforts emerge as effective instruments for building overall empowerment in the face of systemic problems such as restricted access to education, economic marginalization, and gender inequities. This study begins by detailing the particular problems that rural women confront, such as educational limitations, economic marginalization, and strongly established gender stereotypes. These problems set the setting for a more in-depth analysis of how entrepreneurial initiatives might act as positive change drivers. The paper emphasizes the various importance of entrepreneurial efforts in tackling these difficulties. Entrepreneurship becomes a vehicle for skill development, financial inclusion, and community building in addition to economic rewards. Entrepreneurship contributes to altering society narratives and challenging gender stereotypes by giving practical chances for women to break away from defined positions. This article proposes for a holistic strategy to rural empowerment that mixes economic activities with education, skill development, and technology. It hopes to stimulate future study, policy interventions, and grassroots activities that acknowledge the multiple links between entrepreneurship, gender equity, and rural community life. Finally, this investigation enables readers to imagine a future in which entrepreneurial initiatives act as transforming forces, releasing the full potential of rural women and creating resilient, empowered communities.
Chabahar Port: A Geopolitical Need Or, Economic Compulsion for India

Published: April 2024

In the year 2024, in the case of Chabahar port in Iran, two important events took place; first, the visit of Mr. S Jaishankar, India’s External Affairs Minister to Tehran in January 2024 and second, one is the terror attack on Chabahar port by Jaish-al-Ahad on 3 April 2024. Both these developments are pole apart as far as the development of Chabahar port and the realisation of The International North-South Transportation Corridor (INSTC) is concerned. The first one talks about development, hope, connectivity, and the future of trade through a new corridor and the second one is about the existing security challenges in the region which has put this project on a slow grind since the year 2002. As we are aware the International North-South Transportation Corridor (INSTC) is a multi-modal transportation network connecting India, Iran, Russia, Central Asia, and Europe. It aims to facilitate the movement of goods and reduce transportation costs by providing an alternative route to traditional sea routes. The Chabahar Port, located in southeastern Iran, plays a crucial role in the INSTC as a key maritime gateway.

The purpose of the present study is to understand the relationship between perfectionism, attachment styles and perceived social support in a single child. The sample included 100 individuals, between the age of 18-30, Indian citizens, who fulfill the criteria of being an only or a single child. The sample was selected using Non-Probability sampling techniques like convenient, purposive and snowball sampling techniques. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics (mean) and Pearson’s correlation analysis. The findings from this study suggest that there is an association between perfectionism, attachment styles and perceived social support. This association or correlation is such that perfectionism is negatively correlated with secure attachment style and positively correlated with all the three insecure attachment styles in an individual. Perceived social support is positively correlated with secure and dismissive attachment style whereas negatively correlated with fearful and preoccupied attachment style. Perfectionism and perceived social support are negatively correlated. Furthermore, the single child sample of the present study is found to have high perceived social support, a dominant fearful attachment style (although secure and preoccupied also have very close and similar values) and to not have high perfectionistic tendencies.
A Study of Teacher Effectiveness in Relation to Job Satisfaction and Occupational Stress of Secondary School Teachers
Authors: - SANJAY KUMAR NAIK
Published: April 2024

This study investigates the relationship between teacher effectiveness, job satisfaction, and occupational stress among secondary school teachers. The findings reveal that the majority of secondary school teachers exhibit moderate levels of teacher effectiveness (62.08%), job satisfaction (90.5%), and occupational stress (76.4%). Approximately 15 to 16% of teachers display high levels of teacher effectiveness (15.9%), job satisfaction (14.9%), and occupational stress (16.3%), while 13 to 15% demonstrate low levels of these variables (teacher effectiveness - 13.3%, job satisfaction - 15.1%, occupational stress - 15.3%). Moreover, gender does not appear to influence teacher effectiveness, job satisfaction, or occupational stress significantly. However, there is a positive correlation observed between job satisfaction and occupational stress. These findings shed light on the complex interplay between teacher effectiveness, job satisfaction, and occupational stress, highlighting potential areas for intervention and support within secondary school settings.

Let G be a nontrivial connected graph. A dominating set D⊆V(G) is called a doubly connected dominating set of G if both 〈D〉 and 〈V(G)\D〉 are connected. Let D be a minimum connected dominating set of G. If S⊆V(G)\D is a connected dominating set of G, then S is called an inverse doubly connected dominating set of G with respect to D. Furthermore, the inverse doubly connected domination number, denoted by γ_cc^(-1) (G) is the minimum cardinality of an inverse doubly connected dominating set of G. An inverse doubly connected dominating set of cardinalities γ_cc^(-1) (G) is called γ_cc^(-1)-set. In this paper, we characterized the inverse doubly connected domination in the lexicographic product of two graphs and give some important results.

Let G be a connected simple graph. A set S⊆V(G) is a restrained dominating set if every vertex not in S is adjacent to a vertex in S and to a vertex in (G)∖S . A set S of vertices of a graph G is an outer-restrained dominating set if every vertex not in S is adjacent to some vertex in S and V(G)∖S is a restrained set. The outer-restrained domination number of G, denoted by (γ_r ) ̃(G) is the minimum cardinality of an outer-restrained dominating set of G. An outer-restrained set of cardinality (γ_r ) ̃(G) will be called a (γ_r ) ̃(G) -set. This study is an extension of an existing research on outer-restrained domination in graphs. In this paper, we characterized the outer-restrained domination in graphs under the lexicographic product of two graphs.

Objective: To assess the malnutrition status of the children <5 years of age in the Uttarakhand region. Methods: The descriptive cross-sectional research study on 55 children aged <5 years was conducted in the Hasanpur and Mandawar village. The data was collected by using tools like socio demographic profile, breast feeding practices and Anthropometric assessment like height, weight, BMI and MUAC) of the children. Gomez's Classification was centred on assessing wasting in children. Result: The result showed that out of 55 children 10.9% showed mild wasting, 43.63% moderate wasting and 40% showed severe wasting. The assessment of Mid Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) measurements in children indicated that 8% displayed severe malnutrition, 27% exhibited moderate malnutrition, and 65% maintained a normal nutritional status. 43.63 % were moderately underweight and were severely underweight. Breastfeeding was received by 86.6% of the children. Conclusion: The study conclude that most of the children were malnourished.
