Is women’s economic empowerment really worthwhile to the men counterpart?

Compared to the earlier decade’s women are increasingly entering the workforce particularly in the professional works and organized sectors still there remains a large number of invisible women workers in unorganized sectors. Today, many women have established their own economy i.e., entrepreneurial empire and are now ruling their world as they wished to. According to the World Bank 2011 report women perform 66 percent of the world’s work, produce 50 percent of the food, but earn 10 percent of the income and own 1 percent of the property. Women usually invest a higher proportion of their earnings in their families and communities than men. Women are becoming empowered in various fields, though still inequality between men and women runs across the board, including in education, economic opportunities, representation in governance, family life and other fields also. Hence the present study aims to identify men’s perception towards women economic empowerment

Educating rural girls in their life skills through painting

Education is the foundation stone and girls are the pillars for the sustainable development of a nation. National Education Policy 2020 of India has touched life skill to bring forth some modifications in curriculum for mental well-being of adolescents, but an exclusive picture mode is missing in all life skill fields of studies. Focusing on the literacy on selected life skills through a contemporary creative medium, this article presents a new methodological approach in life skill training. Pictures generally attract children.A module with digital paintings on  life skill quotes was prepared by the researcher and after training of rural girl participants, significant difference in the calculated T-test value from the table value was observed in analysis. Thus result gave initial evidence within the context by the participants on the effectiveness of the use of digital painting in the module in training life skills selected for the study, which has great educational significance in mental health area

Evolution of IOT in health care by protecting and safeguarding private security in healthcare

Machines are being linked together in order to lessen the burden of medics in the near future while also offering effective services to patients. Furthermore, these gadgets generate a large amount of data during transmission. A clinical IoT based network is a networked system that must be protected from beginning to finish in order to function and communicate. To avoid sensitive data leakage from such devices/systems, connection should be encrypted. We are proposing dynamic encryption model which works well on health records generated from IoT machines.  Similarly, we ensure the security of the data through a two-way authentication system with the approval from agent/patient to access and share the data

An automated software development for analysis of the morphological-tensile property relationship in egg shell bio-based particulate composites using machine learning algorithms

© 2022 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. This is an open access article under the CC-BY license: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/This work explored the importance of quantitative observation through imaging methods of optical and electron microscopies on the mechanical properties of particulate polymeric composites. Egg shell powder (ESP) reinforced polypropylene carbonate (PPC) polymeric composites with different filler weight percentage (wt.%) from 1 to 5 wt.% were considered. A cost-effective Image Analysis Software (IAS) was developed to extract black particles from the original optical images. During this process, the optimal image can be reproduced based on its originality by controlling the threshold values from 0.1 to 0.6 in real time situation. Using one-dimensional (1D) Gaussian distribution analysis, the authentication of the particle distribution data was studied and linked to the tensile strength of the composites. The mean value of the particle area collected from the left and right side of the scattered curves has a significant effect on the tensile strength of the composites. The proposed model was validated by comparing the predicted statistical results with the measured tensile strength for different wt.% of ESP composites. From the results obtained, a close agreement of 99% accuracy was observed between the experimental results and the proposed model for the tensile strength of the composites. The innovative study provides more practical and quantitative knowledge on improved particulate polymeric composites, in addition to the detection of failure processes through optical/electron microscopic examination of images. Evidently, the proposed cost effective, accurate and less stressful model can be employed by several composite-based industries to correlate the tensile strengths of particulate polymeric composites with their morphological properties.Peer reviewe

Elevated lipid peroxides induced angiogenesis in proliferative diabetic retinopathy

Oxidative stress is associated with causation of diabetic vascular complications. A case–control study was undertaken to evaluate the association of platelet thiobarbituric acid reacting substances (TBARS) with the severity of diabetic retinopathy for the first time. Platelet TBARS levels were estimated using standard protocol. Platelet TBARS levels in the cases with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, and healthy controls were 0.56 ± 0.09, 0.69 ± 0.11 and 0.41 ± 0.1 nmol/h/108 platelets, respectively. A significant increase in platelet TBARS levels was observed in the cases as compared to controls (p < 0.001). Elevated TBARS levels were observed to significantly increase further during the proliferative stage of the disease (p < 0.01). The increase in platelet TBARS levels, and thereby at retinal level, is associated with angiogenesis in diabetic retinopathy. Supplemental anti-oxidant therapy in diabetic retinopathy may prevent ocular angiogenesis resulting as a consequence of oxidative stress
