    A novel drug delivery system plays a pivotal role in enhancing patient adherence to medication regimens. Among these innovative approaches, fast dissolving tablets (FDT’s) stand out as a particularly promising option. FDT’s offer a range of benefits, including precise dosing, ease of transport, streamlined manufacturing, robust physical and chemical stability, and they serve as an excellent alternative for both paediatric and geriatric patients. The formulation of FDT’s harnesses the advantages of both liquid and conventional tablet formulations, while also surpassing the merits of traditional dosage forms. In this comprehensive review, we delve into the advantages and limitations of FDT’s, the imperative need for their formulation, key formulation factors, the role of excipients, methodology, and critical evaluation parameters

    Female Body as the ‘Other’: Rituals and Biotechnical approach using Perumal Murugan’s One Part Woman and Matrubhoomi: A Nation Without Women

    The article attempts to show how women’s identities are restricted to the female body, and its procreative function and also highlights the dangerous rituals such as female infanticide. With a focus on the societal demands placed on the female body, this study aims to focus on how much society intrudes into a person's private life. The article also offers a thorough examination using the novel One Part Woman (2018) and the movie Matrubhoomi: A Nation Without Women (2003) of how the objectification of women has entered our culture and become embedded in our way of thinking, causing us to view the female body as an inanimate object that must adhere to predefined gender stereotypes. It investigates how infertility is linked with the curse and performance of rituals takes place. Infertility is no longer viewed as a problem owing to advances in biotechnology, which have been particularly focused on the reproductive area. However, cultural customs and beliefs disregard the medical approach, while many harsh rituals are conducted in the hope of causing fertility. The research paper focuses on how cultural behaviours and rituals prevent women from using a medical anthropology perspective. The study piece illustrates the sinister rituals that are practised and how women are objectified by using One Part Woman (2018) and Matrubhoomi: A Nation Without Women (2003)

    Performance Improvement of Cloud Computing Data Centers Using Energy Efficient Task Scheduling Algorithms

    Cloud computing is a technology that provides a platform for the sharing of resources such as software, infrastructure, application and other information. It brings a revolution in Information Technology industry by offering on-demand of resources. Clouds are basically virtualized datacenters and applications offered as services. Data center hosts hundreds or thousands of servers which comprised of software and hardware to respond the client request. A large amount of energy requires to perform the operation.. Cloud Computing is facing lot of challenges like Security of Data, Consumption of energy, Server Consolidation, etc. The research work focuses on the study of task scheduling management in a cloud environment. The main goal is to improve the performance (resource utilization and redeem the consumption of energy) in data centers. Energy-efficient scheduling of workloads helps to redeem the consumption of energy in data centers, thus helps in better USAge of resource. This is further reducing operational costs and provides benefits to the clients and also to cloud service provider. In this abstract of paper, the task scheduling in data centers have been compared. Cloudsim a toolkit for modeling and simulation of cloud computing environment has been used to implement and demonstrate the experimental results. The results aimed at analyzing the energy consumed in data centers and shows that by having reduce the consumption of energy the cloud productivity can be improved

    Agricultural production can only be sustained on a long term basis if the land, water and forests on which it is based are not degraded further. Improvements in water resources management are essential to raise agricultural productivity and reduce land degradation and water pollution.  Salinization, alkalization and water logging should be addressed by a more careful approach to drainage and the regulation of water quantities through efficient use of irrigation water, which require that water be applied to growing crops at appropriate times and in adequate. The integrated management of water resources could only be possible through adoption of efficient and optimum use of irrigation water, which could only be ensured by judicious and economic use of irrigation potential whatsoever created to increase crop production. The integrated water resources management also includes the concept of rainwater management that has got an immense important on the way to develop the rainfed farming system. It has got relevancy particularly in installing small-scale irrigation system based on farmers’ participatory approach for sustainable crop production for maintaining sustainable growth and development of agriculture. Modern irrigation techniques like sprinkler and drip should be promoted when water is scarce and the topographic and soil conditions do not permit efficient irrigation by conventional methods.  Promotions of such water saving devices should be an objective of the national water policy.  Water resource management is a integrated and multidisciplinary activity, managing irrigation water that needs agronomy and crop husbandry, efficient methods and system of irrigation needs soils scientists and engineers. More than 98% of the irrigated lands are under the coverage of surface irrigation where more than 50% of water as considered as wastages wherein effective minimization of wastage of water used for irrigation and application of right quantity of water at right time will be the key to successful management of this crucial resource. So question of judicious management of water is pertinent while prioritizing researchable issues became of national importance

    EVALUATING THE COST-EFFECTIVENESS OF DIFFERENT GROUPS OF HYPERTENSION THERAPY: A PHARMACOECONOMIC STUDY

    Get PDF
    Objective: The study objective is to evaluate among the different groups of antihypertensive for their cost-effectiveness and to provide information about the effective management of hypertensives both clinically and economically. Methods: This study involves 81 patients aged 18–80 years on antihypertensive treatment who were enrolled from December to May with daily dose calculation. It is performed to analyze cost-effectiveness in the management of clinical condition. Data collection form to be entered with age, sex, food habits, occupational status, clinical data, and drugs was used for treatment. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio is calculated based on the incremental cost for per mmHg†reduction and cost for per patient†reaching target blood pressure (BP). Result: Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) show a significant average reduction of systolic BP (SBP) and beta-blockers (BBs) show an average reduction of diastolic BP (DBP). Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) are cost effective in SBP and calcium channel blockers are cost effective in maintaining DBP. Conclusion: ARBs, BBs, and ACEIs show the effective management of hypertensives both clinically and economically

The results obtained had showed better improvement in the return loss and radiation pattern in comparison to the other existing antennas

    Geographic Routing in Clustered Wireless Sensor Network

    A WSN is a network of gadgets that is known as nodes. It consists of sensor nodes distributed over a geographical area. The main task of a sensor node is to sense and collect data from certain domain, process them and transmit it to the sink where the application lies. Clustering provides a productive way to prolong the lifetime of WSN. In this paper, we first propose a distributed technique called energy efficient homogenous clustering technique that selects cluster heads to create a connected backbone network. EHC selects CHs on the basis of their residual energy and utility of sensor to its neighbors. Then we propose a route optimization technique in WSNs to make the best use of routing path among obstacles using Dijkstra’s shortest path algorithm. The simulation results show a reduction in average hop count, packet delay, and energy consumption of WSNs
