    Background: The escalating prevalence of obesity is a significant health concern, closely associated with non-communicable diseases like diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and coronary heart disease. Research indicates that apple cider vinegar (ACV) may aid in lowering blood glucose levels, total cholesterol, triglycerides, body weight, waist circumference, and BMI, as demonstrated in animal studies and clinical trials. The primary objective of the study is to assess the impact of apple cider vinegar effervescent tablets on overweight and obese individuals within a period of 30-days. Methods: This observational study took place at the outpatient department of general medicine at Sudha Institute of Medical Science in Erode, involving 45 participants with abnormal weight. Participants consumed an apple cider vinegar effervescent tablet daily in the afternoon for 30 days, alongside mild exercise and a low-sugar diet recommendation. Anthropometric measurements and participant satisfaction data were collected on the 0th (baseline), 15th, and 30th days. Data analysis was conducted using Microsoft Excel, with descriptive statistics such as mean and percentage utilized. Results: This study comprised 75.56% of participants aged between 18 and 40 years. 44.44% of participants fall into the overweight category. Additionally, 95.5% of participants expressed an interest in weight reduction. The results revealed that reductions of 1.13 cm in waist circumference, 1.07 cm in hip circumference, 1.46 kg in weight, and 0.58 kg/m² in BMI over the 30-day period. Following the 30-day consumption of ACV, improvements were observed in abnormal food intake and resolved issues such as digestion, appetite, constipation, cravings, and gas problems. Conclusion: This study concluded that daily consumption of apple cider vinegar effervescent tablet has a positive impact on weight loss and alleviates issues related to digestion, appetite, constipation, cravings, and gas problems

    This paper describes a process that an organization can use to develop its organizational capabilities through the use of Building Information Model (BIM). The process involves identifying and tapping the skills of its employees to deliver lean and green projects. This paper aims to identify the various capabilities necessary to effectively implement Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the construction industry. The study was conducted through a mixed-method approach. It revealed that adopting a BIM adoption culture is necessary for an organization to achieve desired project outcomes. Through a study, the authors of the proposed framework stated that adopting a BIM-based approach can help organizations improve their project outcomes and reduce their carbon footprint. They also noted that it can help them focus on the human factors within their organizations. This paper explores the importance of the social and technical skills of an employee in developing an organization's capabilities to achieve green and lean results
