This research examined the occurrence of Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium in clinical samples processed at Kitwe Teaching Hospital Laboratory, along with their resistance to antimicrobials and presence of virulence determinants. A total of 230 clinical specimens were analyzed to identify suspected Enterococcus strains. Standard laboratory techniques were employed to isolate, characterize, and confirm the species of Enterococcus, followed by testing their susceptibility to antimicrobials and detection of resistance and virulence genes using polymerase chain reaction. Among the 230 cultured specimens, 89 were stool samples, 3 were swabs, and 138 were urine specimens. Out of these, 71 isolates were confirmed Enterococcus by PCR using genus specific primers. The resulting prevalence rate of 30.9% was thus obtained. The most prevalent species was Enterococcus faecalis, accounting for 56.3% of the 71 Enterococcus isolates. The prevalence of E. faecium was 14.1%. All tested E. faecalis isolates displayed resistance to ciprofloxacin and erythromycin. Furthermore, high rates of resistance were observed among E. faecalis isolates for chloramphenicol and tetracycline (97.5%), vancomycin (90.0%), nitrofurantoin (75.0%), penicillin (75.0%) and ampicillin (67.5%). Only two E. faecium isolates exhibited susceptibility to tetracycline and vancomycin, while the remaining isolates were 100% resistant to all other tested antimicrobials. Multidrug resistance was detected in all E. faecium isolates. In addition, various antibiotic resistance genes (aac(6′)-Ie-aph(2″)-LA, ermA, ermB, tetK, tetL, tetM, tetX, vanA) were identified in both E. faecalis and E. faecium isolates. A positive association between phenotype and genotype was found for tetracycline and erythromycin.

Published: April 2024

A healthy body holds a healthy soul & mind. This statement justifies the World Health Organization’s definition of 1948 that health is “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” (WHO, 1948). The definition has a holistic concept. According to the great Aristotle, Man is a social animal. He needs affection & concern from the family and society as a whole. The human’s live dimensions are interconnected with each other. For instance, the physique and mental are inter associated. The poor physical health results in poor mental ability & vice versa. Above all the poor access to medial ventures is always a constraint in a country like India. To overcome from it, Government is taking keen interest by designing several schemes & programmes. ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activist) initiative is one of them.

Authors: - MR LARA CHIANG K SANGMA
Published: April 2024

In the landlocked hill state of Meghalaya, one of the largest tribes is the Garos, a Tibeto Burman group. They adhere to a patriarchal and matrilineal structure. Matrilocal is the basis for the residence. After marriage, the groom live with the bride and start a family. Another important part of Garo society is the duty and responsibilities of the A•gate and Chawari towards the clan and family. Compared to the Heiress and her spouse, A•gate and Chawari have distinct roles and responsibilities. In order to establish a family, the Chawari and his spouse must move out of their in-laws' home and construct a new home on the land that has been provided to them. A Nokkrom, unlike a Chawari, will not have to leave the in-laws' home after getting married. In contrast to the Nokna, the A•gate would only receive a limited plot of land on which to construct a home, engage in agriculture, and survive. Sometimes the family does not give A•gate any movable or immovable property.
It will first attempt to determine A•gate's and Chawari's roles within the Garo Society. Second, examines into how A•gate and Nokna's responsibilities to the families and clan differ. Lastly, if at all possible, provide any suggestive measures.

Published: April 2024

For a considerable time, conventional economic models have assumed that people make logical judgements when presented with all available information; nevertheless, actual data frequently challenges this presumption. This study explores the fascinating field of behavioural economics and decision making, illuminating the complex interactions between emotions, social influences, and cognitive biases that affect our decision-making.

The trip starts with Prospect Theory, which revealed the human propensity to place a higher value on losses than gains and completely changed our understanding of how people make decisions in risky and uncertain situations. The "nudging" theory developed by Thaler and Sunstein shows how little interventions can improve decisions and open the door to new policy applications. By disproving the idea of irrationality, Gigerenzer's investigation of constrained rationality highlights the function of heuristics in streamlining difficult decisions.

A recurring topic is real-world applications; Duflo, Kremer, and Robinson's work demonstrates how behavioural insights might enhance agricultural performance. As behavioural economics develops further, it presents interesting directions for future study, such as the dynamics of group decision-making, the creation of policies, and the impact of technology on decision-making.

In summary, behavioural economics goes beyond the classroom and offers a useful lens through which we may see the intricacies of human decision-making.

Published: April 2024

land is an asset, and transferring the ownership of a piece of property from one party to another is both a significant and time-consuming procedure. Not only there's a lot of documentation, but there are also numerous middlemen and several verifications at various stages of the process. This reduces the overall reliability of the procedure and increases the risks of forgery. It also takes a lot of work to learn about earlier transfers. This issue is readily solved by using blockchain for the land registration system. By eliminating agents from the process, this will reduce corruption. It will also boost speed and build trust in the system without any involvement of any central agency. Blockchain is a decentralized, unalterable database that tracks every valid transaction.

The Law and Science of Eyewitness Evidence
Authors: - Vasudev Digambar Sawant
Published: April 2024

Eyewitness testimony is heavily reliant on their memory and visual perception, both of which are highly prone to error. Eyewitness memory's propensity for error has long been shown in instances of wrongful conviction. Currently, decades of scientific studies on memory and visual perception have shown important error sources and strategies for enhancing eyewitness accuracy. Similar to a few other legal fields, eyewitness testimony that involves experimentation in the identification process lends itself to scientific study.

Consequently, eyewitness testimony has evolved into a test bed for applying science to legal interpretation. This article looks at the responses given to this corpus of research by legal players, including state and federal courts, state legislators, and law enforcement organisations.

Although decisions from the Supreme Court have established a constitutional floor, we discover that this largely does not inform first-hand evidence-based law. As we document in a comprehensive fifty-state survey of rulings, state courts have increasingly used eyewitness memory science to reduce misidentifications. In our second examination, we look at what more state legislators have accomplished by examining the twenty-four state statutes that govern the process of eyewitness identification. Third, law enforcement organisations have embraced updated identification procedures, notably through the adoption of a model policy by twenty-nine states.

Published: April 2024

Let G be a graph. A dominating set D⊆V(G) is called a secure dominating set of G if for each vertex u∈V(G)∖D, there exists a vertex v∈D such that uv∈ E(G) and the set (D∖{v})∪{u} is a dominating set of G. If every u∈V(G)∖D is adjacent to exactly one vertex in D, then D is a perfect secure dominating set of G. Let D be a minimum perfect secure dominating set of G. If S⊆V(G)∖D is a perfect secure dominating set of G, then S is called an inverse perfect secure dominating set of G with respect to D. A disjoint perfect secure dominating set of G is the set C=D∪S⊆V(G). Furthermore, the disjoint perfect secure domination number, denoted by γ_ps γ_ps (G), is the minimum cardinality of a disjoint perfect secure dominating set of G. A disjoint perfect secure dominating set of cardinality γ_ps γ_ps (G) is called γ_ps γ_ps-set. In this paper, we extended the study on the concept of disjoint perfect secure domination in graphs. Furthermore, we characterized the disjoint perfect secure domination in the Cartesian product and lexicographic product of two graphs.

The Impact of Displacement on Tribal Communities: A Reading of Rajam Krishnan's When the Kurunji Blooms through Michael M. Cernea's Impoverishment Risks and Reconstruction Model
Authors: - KAVIMANI N , - CHANDRASEKAR R
Published: April 2024

The clutches of displacement are one among the many haunting issues that present-day societies face owing to postcolonial atrocities, disasters, and various development projects. Having been uprooted from their familiar surroundings means a multi-pronged disaster at every level for the societies facing such an experience. Disruption in lifestyle patterns, social networks and cultural security threatens the foundations of a community therefore producing conflicts at various layers. From prehistoric times Adivasis' existence has been devoid of mainland interferences due to which their voices are unable to reach national attention in the last few decades. When it comes to displacement of Adivasis, the hue and cry is far less compared to the other societies facing similar experiences. Rehabilitation is also in a state of lack. The distortion that might fall on Adivasi communities at the dawn of the development project can be seen in When the Kurunji Blooms by Rajam Krishnan. The novel pictures the fall of the Badagas, a community native to the Nigiri Hills, at the advent of the hydroelectric project that brings electricity, water, and education by shattering communal values.
This paper attempts to read the novel along with the anthropologist Michael M. Cernea’s Impoverishment Risks and Reconstruction Model (IRR) as the model offers multiple critical lenses for textual analysis.

Exploring Couvade Syndrome: the Surprising Symptoms of Sympathetic Pregnancy
Authors: - Shilpa J
Published: April 2024

This study describes the pivotal developmental phase of pregnancy and impending parenthood, highlighting the distinct experiences encountered by both expectant mothers and fathers. Couvade syndrome, informally termed sympathetic pregnancy, emerges in soon-to-be fathers who display symptoms mirroring those of their pregnant partners. Despite being often trivialized, Couvade syndrome can provoke distress in men, exhibiting symptoms such as gastrointestinal issues, psychological strain, and behavioral modifications. Although not formally acknowledged as a medical condition, its widespread occurrence underscores the necessity for deeper explorations into its causative factors. The term "couvade" originates from the French "couvee," signifying incubation or nurturing, coined by anthropologist Edward Burnett Tylor in 1865. Across diverse cultures, Couvade syndrome has piqued interest due to its intriguing resemblance to pregnancy symptoms in men. The proposed rationales for this occurrence encompass psychological, physiological, and societal dimensions, encompassing anxiety, hormonal shifts, and gender roles. Several predisposing factors, including socioeconomic status, first-time parenthood, emotional stressors, and cultural background, may heighten susceptibility to Couvade syndrome. Manifestations range from physical discomforts to emotional turmoil and behavioral alterations, reflecting a multifaceted reaction to the imminent fatherhood journey.
While no standardized treatment protocol exists for Couvade syndrome, coping mechanisms such as stress management, regular physical activity, wholesome nutrition, and abstention from substances like alcohol and drugs are recommended. Additionally, alternative modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), yoga, and pharmacotherapy may offer relief from symptoms. Couvade syndrome typically dissipates postpartum as fathers shift their focus to the newborn. Despite its transient nature, further research is imperative to deepen comprehension and extend support to expectant fathers during this distinctive transition to parenthood.

This is the area where Homoeopathic Medicines plays vital role in the treatment of malnutrition. This itself creates its need to study.
Materials and Methods:
This clinical study was conducted in the sample of population from Dhwani Homoeo Clinic, Ahmedabad, and Gujarat. Fifty cases of malnutrition were analyzed. The study sample included children aged 3 to 8 years and of both sexes. These cases were analyzed after considering their age, sex, low body weight, poor appetite, thin arms and legs, weakness, faintness, fatigue, irritability and recurrent history of infection in body. The investigations were conducted in necessary cases. The cases were analyzed up to one year with regular interval of follow-ups. All the cases were analyzed under following protocols:
Conclusion:
As a result of study of selected 50 cases it was found that the age groups between [6-8 years] were found to be more prone to such disorders [60%]. Maximum sex incidences of the patients of the study were male children [54.00%]. Out of selected cases 28 children [56%] were belong to nuclear family. It was observed that those children [27 cases] [54%] who were taken care by other family members and not mothers were more prone to develop malnutrition.56% of children [28 cases] were having poor dietary intake as a root cause of malnutrition.54% of children [27 cases] had reduced absorption of macro and micro nutrients.76% [38 cases] had recurrent history of infection, 70% [35 cases] had poor appetite, 64% [32 cases] had irritability of mind, 54% [27 cases] had wasting of muscles. 84% [42 cases] cases were improved by Nutrition as well as Health Education as well as Homoeopathic Medicine.

In the dynamic realm of cybersecurity, where the sophistication of threats continues to escalate, the integration of AI-driven technologies into Security Operations Centers (SOC) presents a groundbreaking paradigm shift. This paper introduces an AI-enabled OSSEC (Open Source SECurity), which amalgamates advanced linguistic capabilities with the foundational core of Security Operations Centers.

Traditional security setups often grapple with the overwhelming influx of data logs, hindering their ability to discern crucial patterns and respond effectively to potential threats. The AI-driven OSSEC addresses this challenge by harnessing natural language processing prowess to efficiently analyze and interpret diverse logs. This innovation not only streamlines the monitoring process but also empowers the system to identify nuanced anomalies that might evade conventional detection mechanisms.

Furthermore, the AI-enabled OSSEC doesn't confine itself to analysis alone; it proactively provides actionable insights and strategies for mitigating identified risks. This proactive approach ensures organizations not only detect potential threats but also respond promptly with well-informed measures. Embracing this technology fortifies cybersecurity posture, enabling Security Operations Centers to navigate the complexities of the digital landscape with unparalleled agility and precision.

This convergence of linguistic intelligence with cybersecurity operations signifies a monumental advancement in building a more resilient and responsive defense against the continuously evolving cyber threat landscape within the power sector.
