Summary: There is clear indication that a person's innate level of psychological well-being is significantly influenced by their social environment and developmental history. The study was conceptualized in the context of research on the passage of teenagers into adulthood. The investigation of adolescents' psychological wellbeing was the study's main objective. 100 school-aged youths from Kerala's Kozhikode District, ranging in age from 15 to 17, made up the sample. The mean, standard deviation, and T-test were used to investigate the relationship between adolescents' psychological wellbeing and their sociodemographic profile. Findings: According to the mean score, 44% of schoolchildren reported great psychological well-being, compared to 56% who reported low psychological well-being. In terms of the manifestation of psychological well-being and sociodemographic profiles, respondents from different age groups demonstrated considerable disparities.

Published: August 2022

The Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is a unique signal analysis approach that has been actively applied to a range of difficulties in image processing in recent years. Windowing with varying area sizes is what makes it so powerful. DWT allows us to use small areas where we want high-frequency information more effectively. Wavelet research has picked up steam in the last few years. When it comes to digital signal processing and communication, DWT can be used in a variety of ways. As a voice and picture coding technology, it has many of the characteristics of primitive models of the human visual system. When this is taken into account, it is possible that coding methods will produce compression that is more pleasing to the eye than those that aim to minimise square error. Patterns and breakdown points can be revealed in data using DWT, which other approaches miss. DWT is becoming increasingly popular and is the subject of extensive research, in part because of its many advantages.

A group of people dwelling within a common territorial boundary having common ancestors and mores, believing in common morals, distinct of other similar groups which existed even before the concept of nation states is viewed as Tribe. More often the tribes and tribal are discussed with an attitude of holier than thou approach of regulating deforestations, tribal rights, ownership of tribal lands and what not but the question always persist; are we honest to ourselves when we argue on these. The tribal rights include ownership over both the land and the cherished biodiversity. The statutory provisions are in place for the protection of extant varieties of plants; those existing in the nature, whose ownership lies with the indigenous people which includes their beneficial usages which come as something which may be termed as traditional wisdom. The rapid deforestation is not only endangering the flora, diminishing the genome treasure and even bringing an end to the tribal. In this research paper an attempt is made to critically appreciate the statutory provisions related to the protection of extant varieties of plants and to find out the measures which may be taken for achieving the legislative intent.

Agricultural crop production systems are constantly evaluated to measure its impact on the crop producer, soil, crops and the environment. Hence this investigation was carried out to examine the place of multicropping practice in the drive for sustainable agricultural production in the high humid rainforest agroecology of southern Nigeria. Multicropping allows crop producer to plant two or more crops at a time on the same piece of arable farmland. This practice offers some benefits to crop producer’s resilience, harvest more crop species, income, community and soil quality improvement due to various dead plants and animals parts, nutrients balance due to planting shallow and deep rooted crops; and environmental biodiversity. Our findings revealed multicropping as a practice which offers hope to crop producer with more crops harvested throughout the cropping season, extra income and rich dietary intake of the community. It provides effective pests and diseases control of crops due to crop mix and canopy formation of crops, ameliorate soil physicochemical properties and biodiverse of the environment and act as carbon sink.

A Comparative Analysis of Diabetes Prediction using Different Machine Learning Algorithms
Authors:   Research Scholar, Department of Electronics and  Instrumentation Engineering, Odisha University of Technology and  Research, Bhubaneswar (Odisha), India., Mishra Srinivas
Published: August 2022

The endocrine disorder diabetes is a condition where the body's glucose levels are abnormally high. Diabetes type II is highly prevalent among elderly people. Worldwide, this number is rising quickly. Furthermore, diabetes creates major health issues that might result in organ failure and paralysis in addition to lowering the blood glucose content. Additionally, it shortens the patients' lives [1]. Early diabetes classification involves seeing a patient at a diagnostic facility and consulting doctors, which is a very time consuming process. A mechanism has been created to deal with these significant problems. A classification of the patient's level of diabetes using machine learning (ML) algorithms has been addressed in this paper. Previous works considered only five different ML algorithms. We have extended and compared the classification of diabetes prediction using eight different ML algorithms. The database used to train the models is taken from the Pima Indian Diabetes datasets as available from the UCI ML repository [2]. Accuracy, Precision, recall, and F1 score are the four metrics that have been used to analyze and compare the performances of prediction. In comparison to other methods, simulation results indicate that the Neural Network model has the highest accuracy, at 93%. Another performance metric has been the receiver operating characteristics (RoC) that also shows that NN has the maximum area among all the eight algorithms. Simulation results show this area as 0.740.

Cervical radiculopathy is a clinical condition that affects the nerve roots and is frequently brought on by inflammatory or compressive disease. Although many alternative techniques have been proposed for reducing patients' pain and disabilities, manual therapy has been proven to be an efficient method. The goal of the current study was to compare how well the Manual Cervical Traction and Natural Apophyseal Glides treated individuals with cervical radiculopathy for pain and impairment. Methods: The physiotherapy department of Mayo Hospital Lahore conducted a parallel design, randomized controlled experiment on 72 patients. Following baseline testing, participants were divided into two groups randomly. Natural apophyseal glides and baseline therapy were given to group A, whereas manual cervical traction and baseline treatment were given to group B. Three weeks of treatment were spent receiving three weekly sessions on a rotating basis. A neck disability index and a numeric pain rating scale were used for assessment at the baseline and second and third weeks of therapy. The data was examined using SPSS version 25. Results: Data was analyzed for 72 participants. Mean and standard deviation scores for pain in group A were 3.14 ± 0.601 and of group B were 3.34 ± 0.482 before treatment. The post treatment score for group A were 1.57 ± 0.502 and of group B were 1.63 ± 0.490 with P value 0.632. P value for disability was 0.11. Conclusion: Natural Apophyseal Glides is equally effective to manual cervical traction for relieving pain but found to be more effective for improving functional mobility.

Posture, balance, and movement issues are common in children with Down syndrome. Emerging research suggests that balance training may be advantageous for children with Down syndrome, making it a crucial component of physical activity programmes. Objective: to ascertain the impact of balance training and activities for core stability on postural control in kids with Down syndrome. Methods: single blinded RCT study was conducted, in which assessor was kept blind. While taking into account inclusion and exclusion criteria, children with Down syndrome were randomly divided into two groups with ages ranging from 5 to 17 years. There were 20 patients in the sample. Exercises for core stability were given to Group 2 and balance training to Group 1. The time between treatments was six weeks. The Comprehensive Rehabilitation facility Chakwal is where the data is gathered. The pre- and post-values of postural stability were measured using the paediatric Berg balance scale. Results: The present results are significantly better in the group B than in the group A. Core stability exercises shows better results than balance training. Conclusion: According to the results of the current study from the data of before the treatment and after the treatment, it revealed a positive change. In the duration of six weeks the core stability exercises were more effective than balance training in developing postural control among children with Down syndrome.

The major hindrance in transdermal delivery of drugs is complex barrier of stratum corneum.     New generations lipid based nano-system, particularly transethosomes have ability to permeate from rigid network of stratum corneum. They have proved to be a promising tool for the transport of drugs. This article reviews these ethanol-based, elastic, and deformable vesicles. The major components that provide the vesicles their distinct properties are phospholipids, ethanol, edge activator, and water. Ethanol imparts softness and edge activator increases the permeation by providing elasticity, making it possible to deliver drug molecules in blood. It is a non-invasive technique that can be used as a carrier for NSAID, anticancer, antifungal, and antihypertensive, among other drugs.

Garlic's pungent flavor has made it a prominent component in cuisines throughout the globe for decades. When chopped and put on the tongue or lips, raw garlic triggers unpleasant burning and prickling sensations by unknown processes. In this study, we demonstrate that raw garlic activates TRPA1 and TRPV1, two temperature-activated ion channels that belong to the (TRP) transient receptor potential. The allicin, a volatile component of fresh garlic, is the chemical responsible for TRPA1 and TRPV1 activation. Garlic, a member of the Allium produces organosulfur compounds inclusive of allicin and diallyl disulfide (DADS), which are accountable for garlic's spice and spicy fragrance. Allium extracts have been shown to provide a variety of health advantages, including hypotensive and vasorelaxant properties. Intriguingly, allicin and DADS have structural affinity with allyl isothiocyanate that exhibit ache and inflammation by TRPA1 activation.

Low back pain may have different causes and one of the cause is anterolisthesis. Anterolisthesis is the anteriorly slippage of a vertebrae onto its caudal one. Its Grading is done using mayerding classification system on a plain radiograph in oblique view. Grade I is identified less than the 25% of slippage, in grade II its 25 to 50%, grade III of 51 to 75%, and grade IV having 76 to 100% of slippage. Sometimes it may be symptomatic as well as asymptomatic; pattern of pain is usually localized and/or referred to the dermatome of slipped vertebrae. Non-operative management is preferred as long as failure of non-operative management and neurological deficit. Case Summary: we presented the case of traumatic anterolisthesis of grade I with the preexisting idiopathic scoliosis. Cases with other conditions have been reported before like spondolysis but not with scoliosis. Case was diagnosed with plain radiography as well as physical examination. The condition was managed with physical therapy. Conclusion: Grade I anterolisthesis can be manageable with non-operative methods such as physical therapy. Cryotherapy is found to provide maximum relive of inflammation based pain than thermotherapy. Early diagnosis and treatment is beneficial to rescue patient from state of kinesophobia.
