Authors: Dr. Bheemanagouda  , Sam Stanley
Published: May 2024

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) plays a crucial role in promoting globally recognized accounting standards in the Indian context. In this endeavor, ICAI has introduced the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) to align with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). We aim to assess the impact of implementing the new accounting standards compared to the pre-existing standards. To achieve this, we employed Grays comparability index model on the key items of the consolidated financial statements of selected NIFTY FIFTY companies and examined the outcomes. The analysis reveals significant alterations in the figures of current and non-current liabilities, as well as total income and total expenses. These changes are attributed to various recognition and disclosure criteria introduced by the new accounting standard.

Authors: Cempaka Laras , Annisaa Dhita Noor , David Wahyudi , Ramadhan Kurnia
Published: May 2024

Chocolate drinks are widely consumed due to their rich flavor and polyphenol content. Previous research has highlighted the flavor richness and high polyphenol content of Arabica coffee. This study aims to examine the effects of adding Arabica coffee on the physical characteristics and sensory profiles of chocolate drinks. The composition of the chocolate drinks used in this study includes fermented cocoa powder, Java Preanger Arabica coffee powder, Cascara Arabica, and stevia sweetener. Physicochemical analysis methods encompass color testing, pH measurement, and total soluble solids (TSS) determination. The five tested formulations resulted in a slightly dark yellowish-red color, with pH values ranging from 5.82 ± 0.10 to 6.22 ± 0.08, and TSS content ranging from 5.17 ± 0.76 to 5.90 ± 0.46. In addition to physicochemical analysis, sensory analysis was conducted using the Check-All-That-Apply (CATA) method facilitated by XLSTAT. Although no formulations matched the ideal product, the most preferred formulation consisted of 80% cocoa and 20% coffee, attributed to its sweet flavor. With lower percentages of coffee addition, attributes such as chocolate flavor, sweetness, caramel flavor, and milk flavor became more prominent in the chocolate drinks.
Consumer perception versus scientific evidence of farmed and wild fish: insights from Malaysia
Authors: Goh Ee Von , Azam-Ali Susan , Mitra Soma Roy , McCullough Fiona
Published: May 2024

Understanding consumer perceptions is crucial for shaping market demand, building consumer confidence, and promoting sustainable practices in the aquaculture sector. The main goal of this study is to examine consumers' perceptions of farmed and wild fish on various attributes, aiming to identify any discrepancies between consumer perception and scientific facts. Using random purposive sampling, a survey was conducted with 250 consumers in selected Malaysian populations recruited via street-intercept interviews. The findings reveal that the debate between consuming farmed fish and wild fish lacks a clear answer, with consumer perceptions, especially regarding freshness and sensory characteristics, often differing from scientific evidence. While fish farming offers advantages in quality control and post-mortem biochemistry, the nutritional composition of fish can vary based on farming conditions. To ensure the success of the aquaculture industry in Malaysia, there is a need to enhance practices, raise awareness among aquaculturists, and educate consumers about the benefits of well-managed aquaculture. By adopting a multidisciplinary approach and addressing the crucial nexus between consumer perceptions and sustainable aquaculture, this study makes a valuable and timely contribution to the ongoing discourse in the aquaculture sector. It offers insights that can inform strategies for promoting responsible seafood consumption and advancing the sustainability agenda in Malaysia's aquaculture industry.

Strength in roots: pride in place in left-behind places
Authors: Le Chavallier Marc
Published: May 2024

The political focus on "restoring pride in place" in left-behind areas has increased recently, yet the precise connection between these concepts remains ambiguous. This paper examines existing literature on "left-behind places" and explores various dimensions including economic, social, political, and moral aspects. It also delves into the definitions of pride in place, highlighting its grassroots nature and its reliance on local agency. The paper argues that pride in place cannot be imposed from external interventions but is endogenously grown within communities. It suggests that the core relationship between both pride in place and left-behind areas lies in the moral realm: left-behind areas are embodied communities have less pride due to a lack of local agency and capacity to autonomously improve their area. Therefore, while government-funded initiatives may address certain aspects of pride in place (e.g. regenerating high streets), the most effective method to restore of pride in left-behind places requires empowering communities through bottom-up approaches and direct devolution of power.

Authors: Andrusiv Uliana , Zelinska Halyna , Lagodiienko Volodymyr
Published: May 2024

The article delves into the pivotal role of ecological modernization, specifically the environmentalization of production at enterprises in the building materials sector. A comprehensive study was conducted on the product range of Ivano-Frankivskcement PJSC, one of the largest enterprises in the Western region. This case study serves as a tangible example, demonstrating that the adoption of environmentally friendly production necessitates both the environmentalization of production processes and management. The implementation of a comprehensive environmentalization strategy involves the incorporation of ecologically oriented measures in both the internal and external environments of the production system, while the environmentalization of the management system entails a restructuring of organizational forms and management methods to align with ecological principles.
It was established that an essential part of ecological modernization is the introduction of environmental management systems. This includes requirements for waste and its processing, control over the use of water resources, and implementation of environmental certification and standards. Ecological modernization at enterprises in the construction industry helps to reduce the sector's ecological impact on the environment, contributes to the preservation of natural resources, and improves people's quality of life. It is proposed that enterprises producing building materials switch to the use of a dry method of production - an innovative technology that will contribute to the reduction of morbidity in the population and will protect the natural environment from harmful impurities and combustion products. The main advantage of this is energy-saving and highly efficient cement production technologies. It is emphasized that when carrying out production activities, enterprises in the field of production of construction materials should also apply management technologies of controlling, outsourcing, foresight, etc., with the help of which adverse environmental and economic problems can be detected promptly, and suggestions for their elimination can be made.

Authors: - Koushik Joshi , - Ravikumar Sharma , - Dr. Yadunath Waykole
Published: May 2024

Food is an essential entity for all the living beings. Food habit is a key source of individual’s health. The quality of healthy life is dependent on the quality of food the person consumes. There are some protocols explained in Ayurveda for the processing and consumption of food through which one can achieve a healthy life and can increase the life expectancy. Since many years raw food is being processed with some or the other chemicals for its better Shelf-life, Taste, Appearance, Smell etc. for the purpose of mass distribution, attractiveness, large selling, Easy to cook, Easy to eat etc. And these all processing and generative methods fall under the term of Hybridization and Food additive criteria. In spite of being used with good purpose, a long term use of these products will give a bad impact on human health system. The health issues and deadly diseases which we are observing since last few decades could be probably due to these processing methods. The diseases like Cancer, Coronary diseases, Liver failure, Organ toxicity, all the metabolic and endocrinal disorders etc. are in a peak stage. And one among the reason could be the quality of food which is being used. These types of changes in life style will unknowingly lead to exposure of toxins in one or the other way. Which we can call it as a Gara visha (artificial/concealed poison). Gara visha is a type visha which is produced by combination of two or more non poisonous / poisonous substances. Through this poisoning symptoms/ disease may manifest in few weeks to months. Poisoning may generate through improper food habit, drugs , medications etc. Gara visha will produce symptoms such as Pandu(Anemia), Grahani(IBS), Hridrog(Heart diseases), Gulma(Tumors) etc.

Various unrefined medications were consumed, including Curcuma longa (turmeric rhizomes), Nirgundi (Vitex negundo Linn), Azadirachta Indica (neem leaves). The cream is prepared by slab Technique. Final samples underwent accelerated stability testing in an environmental chamber with a temperature of 25 ± 100C and a humidity of 60 ± 10% RH. It was discovered that every product was stable, showing no evidence of phase separation or color change. Additionally, a patch test was performed for sensitivity testing, and there was no indication of any allergic reactions or skin irritation. This work primarily it focuses on evaluating the microbiological quality of prepared cosmetics. To everyone's amazement, both formulations passed the microbiological limit tests according to international standards. It has been established that the formulation of herbal cosmetics is safe for use and can be applied as a barrier to protect skin.

As per the nature of law, changes are bound to be happening in the system if any component of the system gets altered by any means. Change of climate and subsequently loss of biodiversity threatens the existence of human being. The loss of biodiversity, which has been happening worldwide, poses a serious threat to the anthropological system. An investigation of the current trend and future scenario shows that this loss is likely to continue in the foreseeable times. India has a huge variety of biodiversity and in the last few decades, its biodiversity has
come under threat from climate change which accelerated by the anthropogenic activities of various sources of pollution. Biodiversity conservation and sustainable development are the possible ways to curtail the impact of climate change. Although, adequate efforts have been made worldwide to tackle the environmental challenges, the adverse effects of climate change are still accelerating and the rate of loss of biodiversity is continuing globally.

Job satisfaction refers to the extent to which employees feel content, fulfilled, and positively evaluate various aspects of their work and work environment. Interpersonal communication involves the exchange of messages, ideas, and information between individuals. The aim of the study is to explore the relationship between interpersonal communication and job satisfaction among working adults of age 25-40. To measure the variables interpersonal communication and job satisfaction, standardized tests, namely Interpersonal Communication Skills Inventory and Generic Job Satisfaction Scale were used. Inferential statistics was used (Pearson correlation and linear regression) to test the hypothesis. Another objective of the present study was to see if interpersonal communication acts as a predictor of job satisfaction.
The correlation between interpersonal communication and job satisfaction was studied using Pearson’s correlation. The results showed that there was a significantly positive relationship between the two variables (0.283, p = 0.001). This recommends that as interpersonal communication is upgraded, working grown-ups will quite often encounter an expanded job satisfaction, underlining the compelling job relational correspondence can play with regards to work fulfillment.
Studying Lyrics as the True State of Subconscious Devotement to the God with a Special Reference to Rabindranath Tagore’s Gitanjali, Song 1, 2 and 3
Authors: - Tuhin Subhra Nag
Published: May 2024

Rabindranath Tagore produced his literary manifestation through art, and vice versa. His artistic creation and literature are known in every corner of the literary world for their sublimity, mirth, vigour, rejuvenation, mourning, despair, death, connection with mankind, God, and nature, as an ensemble ecstasy of experiencing shades of life. Those ecstatic qualities of ultimate demonstration published Gitanjali in life in the year 1910 with 156 songs in togetherness, which brought Tagore the honour in 1913 of becoming the first Nobel laureate as an Asian in literature. Tagore has shown the world his musical devotion towards nature, love, humanity, and God. In every aspect of life, it has become relevant to its core and hidden subconsciousness. The true inspiration of Bhakti Andolon (Bhakti Movement), which made its resonance in the 16th century, especially in Bengal, was inculcated in the verses of Gitanjali, which murmur the sole devotee of Tagore at the feet of Lord Krishna, the incarnation of Lord Vishnu, the one who preserves the creation. The hearty samarpan (surrender) of a poetic persona like Rabindranath Tagore thoroughly influences readers, scholars, and researchers for the study of literary and psychological assessment simultaneously over the years. His choice of rendition through the words and gradual escalation towards the almighty signify the subconscious state of his core devotion as worship. It clearly seems Tagore’s conscious and deliberate movement from his own body to the cosmic devotion of Lord Krishna. This article aims to assess a brief study of the subconscious state of Tagore’s spiritual mind through his lyrics in Gitanjali, specifically in songs 1, 2, and 3. The descriptive research method is taken as the methodological approach for the study. For the expected substantiation of the stated facts, this article has taken a few references from anonymous sources as a secondary study of research.
