Preferred Parenting Style Among University Students
This paper aims to investigate the preferred parenting styles of modern youth, if/when they become parents. To successfully conduct the exploratory study, a preferential parenting style questionnaire was made. A sample of 195 students aged 18 to 25 was taken. ANOVA, t-test, and descriptive analysis were done using IBM SPSS Statistics (Version 27). It was found that the students prefer the permissive parenting style and there was no major gender difference in this preference. This paper also aims to expand the literature on parenting style preference in the context of the Indian populatio
TRADITIONAL HEALING WITH ANIMALS (ZOOTHERAPY) BY THE MAJOR ETHNIC GROUP OF KARBI ANGLONG DISTRICT OF ASSAM, INDIA
Objective: To survey and document the traditional knowledge related to medicinal uses of animals among the ethnic groups in Karbi Anglong district of Assam.
Methods: A long term field survey was conducted from July 2008 to October 2009 by performing personal interviews through structured questionnaire with more than 500 respondents, who provided information regarding the use of different animals and their products in their traditional medicine. Most of the information on the use of various animals in traditional medicine by them was provided by elderly people in the age groups of more than 50 years.
Results: A total of 48 different animals were recorded to be used for different ethno-medical purposes against various diseases, including tuberculosis, asthma, cancer, paralysis, jaundice, leprosy, toothache, rabies, dysentery, baldness, rheumatism, arthritis, weakness, piles etc. The highest percentage of animals used for traditional treatment is mammals (about 40%) followed by insects (about 21%) and birds (about 19%).
Conclusion: The findings reveal a rich traditional knowledge of indigenous people of Karbi Anglong about the use of animals and their product in traditional medicine. It is suggested that this kind of traditional knowledge should be included into the scientific literature for the conservation and management of medicinal faunistic resources

Intrusion of Supraerupted Maxillary First Molar Using Modified TPA and TAD's - A Simple, Clinically Efficient Approach.
The orthodontist treating adult patients often encounters a dentition that was neglected after premature loss of posterior teeth. The adjacent teeth tend to tilt and rotate, and the occluding tooth can supraerupt. This early loss of posterior teeth and a delay in replacing the missing teeth results in over eruption of antagonist teeth. Overextrusion of maxillary molars usually results from early loss of antagonistic teeth. The elongated dentoalveolar process may induce problems such as functional disturbances and occlusal interference and cause great difficulty during prosthetic reconstruction. This case report demonstrates the efficient use of TAD's along with modified TPA in a patient with an supraerupted maxillary first molar in a 23-year-old girl. Treatment objective was to intrude the maxillary 1st molar to facilitate prosthetic replacement of lower 1st molar. The treatment mechanics involved: 0.022 x 0.028 MBT appliance for initial leveling & aligning followed by modified TPA with soldered hook for intrusion of first maxillary left molar. A section of Elastomeric chain was stretched from the mini-implant placed in the left buccal 1st molar region to the soldered hook on the Transpalatal Arch. Activation was done every 21 days. We preferred 150 g force to intrude the molar in this study. Intrusion was finished when tooth was leveled with the neighboring teeth. Amount of intrusion achieved was 3 mm in a span of 6 months and to avoid root resorption, intrusive force levels was kept optimal
Emotion-guided Cross-domain Fake News Detection using Adversarial Domain Adaptation
Recent works on fake news detection have shown the efficacy of using emotions
as a feature or emotions-based features for improved performance. However, the
impact of these emotion-guided features for fake news detection in cross-domain
settings, where we face the problem of domain shift, is still largely
unexplored. In this work, we evaluate the impact of emotion-guided features for
cross-domain fake news detection, and further propose an emotion-guided,
domain-adaptive approach using adversarial learning. We prove the efficacy of
emotion-guided models in cross-domain settings for various combinations of
source and target datasets from FakeNewsAMT, Celeb, Politifact and Gossipcop
datasets.Comment: Accepted as a Short Paper in the 19th International Conference on

Comparative Studies of Tomato and Cherry Tomatoes Different Varieties under Poly House Condition
Research was carried out at Vegetable Research Farm, Department of horticulture, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P.) during winter season of 2020 - 2021, to evaluate different varieties of poly house condition traits of 7 Hybrids, with three replications in Randomized Block Design (RBD). Analysis of variance in the present investigation indicated that the genotypes evaluated differed significantly among all the treatment for all Thirteen traits. The hybrids Arka rakshak (887.01 kg) yield/hac and Total cost of cultivation (INR ha-1) 72,250.00. Cost Benefit Ratio of different varieties of tomato, Variable cost and total cost of cultivation of different varieties, Economics of cherry tomato and tomatos, Yield per hectare & plant height (cm).
