A Study of Internal Working Female Migrants in Kochi City, Kerala
Authors: - Anzamol Ansari , - V. Nirmala
Published: February 2024

As migration is dominated by men, with women comprising either residual or dependent followers, its gender dimensions are rarely addressed in literature in India. The decision to migrate of women is often highly influenced by intra-household gender relations and hierarchies. They often migrate out of concerns of household poverty or to ensure family survival through remittances as supplementary income. In this context, the paper attempts to study the socio-economic background, and working and living conditions of working female migrants in Kochi city. It also examines the reasons for their migration, benefits received and the problems faced at work in the city. The paper is based on primary data collected from 184 female migrants working in urban informal labour market of Kochi city, Kerala State, during January to April 2023. The findings of the study revealed all the sample migrant women to be engaged in informal sector, owing to their low education and skill. While their push factors for migration were poverty and debt at native home, the pull factors to Kochi city included more regular employment and better income. They are largely self-employed and work as domestic help or street vendors. They work for hours longer than prescribed under minimum work hours, besides lacking social protection measures. Their perceived problems at work were low wages, work not regular and longer working hours. The major benefits of migrant family in Kerala were better employment and income, infrastructure and children’s education. The Lorenz curve shows that there is a significant decline in the income inequality among migrant households with the additional income earned by the female migrants. The study recommends the need for local language mediators, to help the migrants benefit from the State’s migrant workers welfare schemes.

Authors: - Pooja Parkash , - Ravi Parkash
Published: February 2024

Behavioral finance attempts to investigate the psychological and sociological issues that Influence investment decision making process of individual and institutions. It also considers how various psychological traits affect how individuals or groups act as investors, analysts, and portfolio manager. The study investigated the effects of behavioral factors on investment decisions making by unit trust companies in Kenya. Literature has documented that individual and even institutional investors have embraced heuristics in their investment decision making. The study therefore sought to establish whether heuristics (overconfidence behavior, herd behavior, and anchoring behavior) affect investment decisions in unit trusts. Descriptive design study was used through questionnaire survey of two hundred and eleven individuals. Semi structured questionnaire was used for data collection with 100% response rate
being registered. Analysis was done using Statistical Packages for Social Scientists. Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were used to summarize the research findings. The study established that unit trusts' investment decisions are affected by overconfidence, availability, and anchoring behaviors. Unit trust managers tend to be overconfident while making
investment decisions. Their decisions are also affected by experience of their past performance suggesting the effect of anchoring. According to the findings, managers who are overconfident are also likely to follow the masses in decision making. Behavioral finance models are not empirically supported and therefore should not be used in isolation for investment analysis by unit trusts. Investors on the other hand should be aware of the fact that fund managers are not immune from behavioral biases while making investment decisions. They should therefore closely monitor their investments' performance and actions of fund manager to ensure that these biases are eliminated.

Authors: - Saurabh Suman , - Gaurav Vatsa
Published: February 2024

Background: Tibial shaft fractures are common orthopaedic injuries that can lead to various complications, including non-union. Treatment of these fractures is challenging and requires a multidisciplinary approach.
Case details: This case report presents a 45-year-old male with an infected non-union of the tibia and chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, following a road traffic accident. The patient underwent a series of procedures over a long duration due to the persisting infection. The presence of HCV added complexity to the treatment, as individuals with HCV may have compromised immune systems, which can impede the healing process and increase the risk of infection. The treatment approach described in this case, including exchange nailing and bone grafting, proved effective in achieving fracture union.
Conclusion: Exchange nailing and bone grafting are effective methodologies in treating infected non-union of the tibia. This case highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and the need for further research in this area. However, further research is needed to establish optimal treatment protocols for similar cases.

Authors: - Gaurav Vatsa , - Saurabh Suman
Published: February 2024

Introduction: Humerus shaft fractures pose a significant challenge in Orthopaedic practice, with various treatment approaches available, including surgical methods like conservative management, Plating and Nailing. The choice between these methods remains debatable, necessitating further comparative studies.
Methods: This study compared Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) with Locking Compression Plates and Closed Reduction Internal Fixation (CRIF) with Intramedullary Interlocking nails for Humerus shaft fractures. Patients were categorized into two groups based on the intervention received. Perioperative parameters, radiological outcomes, and complications were assessed.
Results: Baseline demographics were comparable between the two groups. The Plating Group had longer surgery duration and higher blood loss compared to the Nailing Group. Both groups had similar rates of union and non-union, with no significant difference in shoulder function and pain outcomes at one year post-operation.
Discussion: Functional outcomes post-union remain acceptable despite notable deformities, suggesting the viability of conservative treatments. While ORIF with plating has been conventional, concerns over blood loss and nerve injury have led to exploration of CRIF with intramedullary nails. This study, consistent with previous findings, found no significant disparity in outcomes between the two methods, emphasizing the need for personalized treatment decisions. In conclusion, this study adds to the understanding of Humerus shaft fracture management, highlighting the need for individualized treatment decisions and further research in this field.
Migration- A Threat to Human Security in Assam
Authors: - Rumi Patar
Published: February 2024

Migration is a common phenomenon in the whole world. Most factors that led to migration of people from one place to another are due to climate change, in search of job opportunities, peace and security, education purposes etc. In the same way in case of Assam also we have noticing the same factors which attract the people from neighbouring countries to this land. Assam had been the melting pot of many ethnic groups and also received many migrated groups from the distant past. Till today the migration process is going on. But time by time it is also seen that some conflicts arouse among the migrated and the indigenous people of Assam. Therefore it is to be noticed that whether these migration has caused disturbance to the indigenous people or not? Whether indigenous people have accepted the migrated people heartily? What is the status of migration in Assam today? All these questions come to our mind when we think of migration in Assam’s context. All these aspects will be discussed in this paper.
In actual sense influx of large number of people into Assam has led to many problems which are sometimes due to scarcity of land or sometimes due to some other factors. People of Assam are insecure in their own land. Therefore it is very important to be aware of this.
This paper aims to study the different aspects of migration that disturbed the human security in Assam and tries to highlight how migration can be a threat to Assam’s peace and security.

Authors: - Gamze Tilbe İnce , - Mehmet Yüksekkaya , - Orhan Erdem Haberal
Published: February 2024

Numerous specific procedures are needed for nucleic acid detection using traditional approaches. Because of the time and instrumentation requirements, poor detection limits, and other factors, they are behind in creating point-of-care (POC) testing. In addition, some of these traditional approaches can be extremely sensitive. Microfluidic technologies are being used to overcome these challenges by enabling the efficient and automatic performance of all analytical stages, such as sample pre-treatment, reactions, separations, and diagnostics in microchannels on a small chip. The use of microfluidics technology in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology has resulted in many advantages. PCR microchips and portable thermal cyclers that can be used for POC testing have enabled faster amplification with accurate results. This paper proposes a low-cost, fast enough thermal cycler for POC testing that uses a polymer-glass microchip and an affordable Peltier element to quickly heat samples. A laser cutter was used to build the microchip needed to perform PCR, which was designed using a computer-aided design (CAD) software. The heating and cooling elements employed in the creation of the thermal cycler were Peltier elements, heat sink, centrifugal fan, and CPU fan. A microcontroller and H-Bridge modules were used to control the temperature with the help of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller algorithm. After that, the circuit components and PID control algorithm—which was created for temperature control—were combined to create the PCR cycle. The analysis focuses on the heating and cooling performances of suggested thermal cycler.

Authors: - S. Muthamizhkumaran , - R. Ramesh
Published: February 2024

Introduction: Increased LDL-C is a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Also, LDL-C is used for risk stratification and in planning appropriate treatment. This requires the accurate measurement of LDL-C. Though β quantification is the reference method for LDL-C estimation it can’t be used routinely. Even though homogenous assays are available, some clinical laboratories use the Friedewald formula, which has its disadvantages. Aim & Objectives: To identify which LDL-C formula best correlates with direct LDL-C among various levels of TG. Study Design: A retrospective diagnostic accuracy study. Materials and Methods: Complete lipid data of 15,094 was obtained from the hospital information system. Based on TG level data, it was grouped into TG <100 mg/dl (N=6022) and TG 100-200 mg/dl (9072). Direct homogenous assay was used to measure LDL-C. LDL-C was calculated using seven formulae (Friedewald, Hattori, de Cordova, Vujovic, Anandaraja, Chen, and Sampson). Results: Correlation between direct and formula-based LDL-C by ICC showed maximum correlation by Vujovic (0.978). Bland Altman plot between Vujovic and the direct method shows a bias of -0.38 and it may overestimate or underestimate by 23 mg/dl. Conclusion: LDL-C calculated using Vujovic showed maximum correlation with direct homogenous assay when TG <200 mg/dl.

The accuracy, precision, specificity, linearity, recovery, repeatability, reproducibility, robustness, limit of detection and limit of quantification of the method were evaluated. Uncertainty measurement was calculated for each analyte. The samples were extracted with dichloromethane using liquid-liquid extraction process. Each Pesticide was optimized in terms of different MS parameters and chromatographic conditions by GC-MS/MS using Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM) mode. In linearity regression co-efficient (R2) value of each pesticide was determined in the range of 0.9856-0.9997. The percent average recoveries were found from 87.98—119.99 at 1, 5 and 10 LOQ spiking level. The method performance complied with the regulatory requirements, and thus, can be implemented. LOD and LOQ of the pesticides were found 10µg/L and 30µg/L respectively. Expanded Measurement of uncertainty of all pesticides was below ±50 percent of mean recovery value as per SANTE 11312/2021. Organophosphorous, fungicides, and pyrethroids were the group of pesticides most frequently found. In this study, 12 pesticides were found above the MRL (EEC Council Directive 1980/778/EEC). Additionally, dieldrin, which is now banned by law in India, was found in samples of ground water. The method provided a high throughput analysis of multi-class pesticides with satisfactory selectivity, sensitivity, accuracy, and precision.
Diachronic and Physical Characteristics of Doctrinal Production in Moroccan Administrative Law
Authors: - Hind Siyouri
Published: February 2024

Modern Moroccan administrative law and its techniques are the direct result of the intervention of the French protector. However, the fact of French inspiration does not always mean that the case law is transposed as it was pronounced in its country of origin; adaptations are often necessary in order to allow its application in the Moroccan context. This study is guided by the concern to highlight the diachronic and physical characteristics distinguishing Moroccan doctrinal production based on genealogical and archaeological methods. The research revealed that the production of doctrinal ideas accompanied the events experienced by the process of judicial organization in Morocco. Which explains the sensitivity of the authors to the socio-political context. The doctrine in fact turns out to be indissolubly constituted by both rationepersonae and ratione materiae. Its freedom implies almost total freedom of writing, unless possible obstacles linked to the need to find a publisher are considered.

Authors: - Sivangi Sadhu , - Atul Dubey
Published: February 2024

Secret handwriting is a written note or message that is hidden and written with the help of invisible ink. There is a long history of using invisible ink for secret writing for various purposes. The practise involves writing information using fluids that are hardly visible under normal light. Invisible ink used as writing instruments makes the written message invisible to the reader, thus a visualisation or development technique is required to make the message visible .

Abstract
Children with intellectual disabilities face unique challenges in educational settings. This abstract explores the importance of tailored interventions and supportive environments in empowering their education. Intellectual disability encompasses a range of cognitive impairments that affect a child's ability to learn, communicate, and navigate daily tasks. In educational settings, these children often encounter barriers to accessing curriculum, participating in activities, and forming social connections. Tailored interventions play a crucial role in addressing the diverse needs of children with intellectual disabilities. These interventions may include individualized learning plans, specialized teaching strategies, and therapeutic support services aimed at enhancing cognitive, academic, and adaptive skills. Moreover, fostering supportive environments within schools and communities is essential for promoting inclusion, acceptance, and success for children with intellectual disabilities. This involves creating inclusive classrooms, promoting peer interactions, and providing appropriate accommodations and resources. By implementing tailored interventions and cultivating supportive environments, educators and caregivers can empower children with intellectual disabilities to reach their full potential. Through personalized support and inclusive practices, these children can overcome barriers, build confidence, and achieve meaningful educational outcomes. Ultimately, an emphasis on empowerment and inclusion ensures that every child, regardless of ability, has the opportunity to thrive and succeed in their educational journey.
