Navigating the Shift: Evaluation of Online Learning on MSW Students' Professional Development in Postpandemic India.

The COVID-19 pandemic prompted unprecedented public health measures, including lockdowns that forced educational institutions to transition from conventional learning (CL) to online learning (OL). This shift significantly impacted disciplines like social work, which rely heavily on practical and fieldwork experiences. This study aimed to evaluate the impact and effectiveness of OL versus CL for MSW students across 12 states in India.

Indian Psychiatric Society multicentre study: Diagnostic patterns, comorbidity and prescription practices for patients with Dementia.

Background: There are more than 5 million people with dementia in India. Multicentre studies looking at details of treatment for people with dementia In India are lacking. Clinical audit is a quality improvement process which aims to systematically assess, evaluate, and improve patient care.

Fabrication of α-FeO Nanostructures: Synthesis, Characterization, and Their Promising Application in the Treatment of Carcinoma A549 Lung Cancer Cells.

In the present work, iron nanoparticles were synthesized in the α-FeO phase with the reduction of potassium hexachloroferrate(III) by using l-ascorbic acid as a reducing agent in the presence of an amphiphilic non-ionic polyethylene glycol surfactant in an aqueous solution. The synthesized α-FeO NPs were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, dynamic light scattering, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry. The powder X-ray diffraction analysis result confirmed the formation of α-FeO NPs, and the average crystallite size was found to be 45 nm.

Clay minerals identification in rock varnish by XRD: A one-step reduction approach.

Rock varnishes are known to be fine, dark, glossy submicron films found in deserts bare rock surfaces. The oxides and hydroxides of manganese and iron bind together the clay minerals present in the varnish layer. The processes of oxide-hydroxide accumulation at varnish sites are due to iron and manganese oxidizing bacteria which may require clay minerals for additional nutrition.

Growth Kinetic Study of Tannic Acid Mediated Monodispersed Silver Nanoparticles Synthesized by Chemical Reduction Method and Its Characterization.

The complex process of nanoparticle formation in an aqueous solution is governed by kinetics and thermodynamic factors. This paper describes a room-temperature growth kinetic study and evaluation of thermodynamic activation parameters of monodispersed silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized in alkaline medium by chemical reduction method using AgNO as a source of Ag ions and tannic acid (TA) as a reductant (reducing agent) as well as a capping or stabilizing agent in the absence of any other external stabilizer. A simple and conveniently handled reaction process was monitored spectrophotometrically to study the growth kinetics in an aqueous solution as a function of the concentration of silver ion, hydroxide ion, and TA, respectively.

Anticancer potency of copper(II) complexes of thiosemicarbazones.

Being a structural and catalytic cofactor in a number of biological pathways, copper accumulates in tumors owing to selective permeability of the cancer cell membranes. Copper(II) ion forms the active centers in a large number of metalloproteins. The coordination of Schiff's base ligands to the metal ion results in the high extent of increase in anticancer activity.

Śodhana: An Ayurvedic process for detoxification and modification of therapeutic activities of poisonous medicinal plants.

Ayurveda involves the use of drugs obtained from plants, animals, and mineral origin. All the three sources of drugs can be divided under poisonous and nonpoisonous category. There are various crude drugs, which generally possess unwanted impurities and toxic substances, which can lead to harmful health problems.

Detoxification of Croton tiglium L. seeds by Ayurvedic process of Śodhana.

Objective: Croton tiglium seeds, known as Jamālgoṭa in Hindi, Marathi, and Urdu is well-known for its toxicity (severe purgative action). In Ayurvedic texts, the plant is known as Kumbhinī and is used for the treatment of constipation after Śodhana (detoxification process) of the seeds with Godugdha (cow milk).

Material And Methods: In the present study, C.

Ethnopharmacology, phytochemistry and pharmacology of Tephrosia purpurea.

Tephrosia purpurea (L.) Pers. is popularly known as 'Sarapunkha' in classical Ayurvedic texts.

Ichnocarpus frutescens Ameliorates Experimentally Induced Convulsion in Rats.

The present study was carried out to evaluate the anticonvulsant activity and probable mechanism of action of the methanol root extract from I. frutescens (MEIF) using different experimental animal models. Anticonvulsant activity of the single dose of MEIF (100, 200, and 400 mg/kg, p.

Anticancer activity of the roots of Ichnocarpus frutescens R. Br. and isolated triterpenes.

The roots of Ichnocarpus frutescens along with roots of Cissampelos pareira, Bauhinia vahlii and Ardisia solanacea are processed together and given orally to cure stomach cancer by the tribes of Chotanagpur and Santhal parganas of Bihar, India. In vitro anticancer activity of the residue from methanolic extract of roots of I. frutescens (MIF) and isolated triterpenes were evaluated by 3-(4, 5-dimethyl thiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay using MCF-7, BEL-7402, SPC-A-1 and SGC-7901 cancer cell lines.

Anti-inflammatory activity of ethanol extract of Vitex glabrata leaves.

Vitex glabrata (Verbenaceae) is commonly employed for the treatment of various ailments in traditional medicine. In this study, ethanol extract of Vitex glabrata (EEVG) was evaluated for the anti-inflammatory activity using carrageenan-induced paw edema and cotton pellet induced granuloma formation in rat models.
