Post-Maternity Privileges and Challenges Faced by Women in Private and Public Sector Banks in Haryana

The study on post-maternity privileges and challenges faced by women in private and public sector banks in Haryana could certainly be of special interest and significance to Haryana state’s banking sector since they would be concerned with the issues affecting the working womenfolk in the banking sector to streaming their objectives and strategies for the welfare and amelioration of working women after maternity. Hence the present study is a conscious attempt to ascertain empirically the extent of conflicting situations of post-maternity psychological challenges faced by working women encounter due to the changing and often incongruent role expectations in the context of family, child, profession, and societal norms. The present study is based on primary as well as secondary studies. The primary data have been collected from 370 working women respondents of public and private sector banks in Haryana. Random sampling method have been used for primary data collection. This area will be chosen because the study is mainly focusing on post-maternity privileges and challenges faced by women in private and public sector banks in Haryana. Area of research branch and respondents have selected through simple random sampling and banking sector will be categorized in two levels (private banks and public banks)

Concurrent Access Algorithms for Different Data Structures: A Research Review

Algorithms for concurrent data structure have gained attention in recent years as multi-core processors have become ubiquitous. Several features of shared-memory multiprocessors make concurrent data structures significantly more difficult to design and to verify as correct than their sequential counterparts. The primary source of this additional difficulty is concurrency. This paper provides an overview of the some concurrent access algorithms for different data structures

The title compound, C38H50O5 {systematic name: 10-(3-hy­droxy­benzo­yl)-2,2,7,7-tetra­methyl-3,6,8-tris­(3-methyl­but-2-en­yl)-3,4,4a,5,6,7-hexa­hydro-4a,8-methano-2H-cyclo­octa­[b]pyran-9,11(8H)-dione}, is a polyisoprenylated benzophenone, isolated for the first time from the fruits of Garcinia indica during our investigation of bioactive compounds from this plant and their large-scale extraction. The relative configuration of the title compound was chosen based on comparison of its spectroscopic and optical rotation data with that of the isomorphous and isostructural compound isogarcinol, whose absolute configuration is known. The crystal packing features O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. A Cambridge Structural Database analysis revealed that the crystal structure reported here is isomorphous and isostructural with that of isogarcinol

Use of nanomaterials in the pretreatment of water samples for environmental analysis

The challenge of providing clean drinking water is of enormous relevance in today’s human civilization, being essential for human consumption, but also for agriculture, livestock and several industrial applications. In addition to remediation strategies, the accurate monitoring of pollutants in water sup-plies, which most of the times are present at low concentrations, is a critical challenge. The usual low concentration of target analytes, the presence of in-terferents and the incompatibility of the sample matrix with instrumental techniques and detectors are the main reasons that renders sample preparation a relevant part of environmental monitoring strategies. The discovery and ap-plication of new nanomaterials allowed improvements on the pretreatment of water samples, with benefits in terms of speed, reliability and sensitivity in analysis. In this chapter, the use of nanomaterials in solid-phase extraction (SPE) protocols for water samples pretreatment for environmental monitoring is addressed. The most used nanomaterials, including metallic nanoparticles, metal organic frameworks, molecularly imprinted polymers, carbon-based nanomaterials, silica-based nanoparticles and nanocomposites are described, and their applications and advantages overviewed. Main gaps are identified and new directions on the field are suggested.publishe

CRL A systematic narrative review of the shared mechanisms in substance abuse and eating disorders Objective: Eating disorders (ED) and substance use disorders (SUD) have high rates of comorbidity and the highest mortality rates of any mental health disorders. Several reasons for the comorbidity have been suggested. The aims of this review were to synthesise the research evidence for comorbid ED and SUD and evaluate the quality of the studies. Methods: Six databases were searched, using terms related to ED, SUD, and psychological mechanisms. The search yielded 3,725 papers. 20 papers met inclusion criteria. Data on the measures used and mechanisms explored was extracted, and the quality of each paper was rated by two independent raters. Findings were synthesised in a narrative review. Results: Of the 20 papers, five papers measured DSM-5 Axis II personality pathology and showed mixed results, with evidence for clusters A, B and C in both disorders. Twelve papers measured various personality temperaments or dispositions. Impulsivity and novelty seeking were two aspects of personality traits repeatedly linked to comorbid ED and SUD. Five papers explored emotional regulation and showed individuals with comorbidity are more likely to struggle with emotional regulation skills. Conclusion: Papers focusing on personality pathology and traits failed to propose specific mechanisms for how ED-SUD comorbidity occurs. Personality traits are not considered modifiable and therefore do not readily lead to treatment targets. Emotional regulation-based factors used schema-based models and proposed several treatment options. Future research should focus on schema (and related cognitive) based models. SIP A qualitative exploration of working with Panjabi speakers in Buckinghamshire Memory Clinic Introduction: Government reports have highlighted the rising rates of dementia in Black, Asian and Ethnic Minority individuals. However, many ethnic minority groups face barriers in accessing memory services, and often feel services are not set up for them. South Buckinghamshire Memory Clinic aimed to explore the needs and views of non-English speaking Panjabi individuals, to consider how they might best work with this group. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were carried out with eight Panjabi speaking members of the local community, aged between 55 and 76 years old. The authors also conducted focus groups and interviews with staff from the memory clinic to explore their experiences of working with Panjabi speaking service users. Results: Thematic analysis of the data revealed four key themes for community members: wanting to be around “people like us”; negative views of memory difficulties; believing services “don’t have things for people like us”; and valuing professional help. Data from staff members revealed six key themes: A desire to be person-centred; staff don’t always feel confident; family members want to be helpful; having a choice in interpreters; difficult to keep tests reliable and valid; and using flexible approaches to gathering information. Discussion: This study made several recommendations for South Buckinghamshire Memory clinic including use of second languages in the staff team to support assessments, using resources specifically made for Panjabi individuals, and being mindful that families may not want an interpreter, but service users may still benefit from being offered one. TDRP Stigma and its Impact on Seeking Professional Psychological Help – Are there Cultural Differences? Introduction: Individuals from a South Asian background are thought to utilise mental health services less often than other individuals. Literature has suggested several barriers to accessing mental health support, one being stigma. Corrigan et al.’s Why Try? model is used to understand perceptions of stigma from others (public stigma) and stigma towards the self (self-stigma). This paper aims to explore whether a population of South Asian individuals has more negative views towards seeking professional psychological help, when compared to White British individuals, and whether stigma or acculturation play a role in this. Methods: An online questionnaire was used to gather data on people’s attitudes towards seeking professional psychological help, views on self-stigma, perceptions of public stigma and levels of acculturation. Results: There were no differences in attitudes towards seeking professional help between the two groups. Public stigma was not associated with attitudes to seeking help, however greater self-stigma was associated with poorer attitudes to seeking help, regardless of culture. Acculturation impacted the relationship between public stigma and attitudes to seeking help only. Conclusion: This paper adds a novel contribution in its recruitment of individuals who have experienced mental health difficulties. The paper highlights the importance of looking at other barriers outside of public or self-stigma to understand why South Asian individuals may be underrepresented in mental health services

A Perspective on therapeutic potential of weeds

Nature gives us a diverse plethora of floral wealth. Weeds have been recognized as invasive plant by most of scholars in today’s world with extraordinary travel history. They are considered to be noxious for adjoining plant species and also as economic hazard. Weeds inhabited in almost entire biomes and have capability to survive in harsh conditions of environment thereby become source of inspiration for finding novel phytoconstituents. Weeds play a significant role in absorbing harmful micro pollutants that are affecting ecosystem adversely. There are so many examples like canna lily, bladder wort, coltsfoot, giant buttercup etc. playing crucial part in sustaining environment. Different isolation and characterization approaches like high pressure liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectroscopy etc. have also been fetched for obtaining novel constituents from weeds. The main aim of this review is to analyze the therapeutic potential of weeds established in New Zealand and effort to unfold the wide scope of its applications in biological sciences. Upon exploration of various authorized databases available it has been found that weeds not only are the reservoir of complex phytoconstituents exhibiting diverse array of pharmacological activities but also provide potential role in environment phytoremediation. Phytoconstituents reported in weeds have immense potential as a drug targets for different pathological conditions. This review focuses on the literature of therapeutic potential of weeds established in New Zealand and tried to unveil the hidden side of these unwanted plants called weeds
