The researcher based the study on the following objectives: To examine how training affects performance appraisal in church-based organizations in Kenya; To find out how working conditions affect performance appraisal in Church-based organizations in Kenya; To assess the effect of employee attitude on performance appraisal in church based organizations in Kenya; To find out the effect workload has on performance appraisal in church based organization in Kenya. Performance appraisal is a crucial tool in HRM for use in all kinds of Organisations, whether profit making or nonprofit making, private or public, religious or secular and small or large. There has been a dilemma whether performance appraisal is necessary in Church based Organisations which have its human resource drawn mainly from clergy and volunteers who believe that their service is mainly driven by faith and not by supervision or evaluations from earthly masters. For church based organisation which conduct Performance appraisal there are factors which affect the system, In this Study the Researcher selected four of this factors. A Descriptive Survey approach was used in the investigation.The descriptive survey method was utilized in this case since the study is based on the state of conditions as they are in the field, and no variables were changed. The researcher used stratified and purposive random sample approaches to get credible key informants. The total number interviewed were 84 respondents, including: 21 Ministers, 21, Pairing elders, 21 Evangelists 21 Secretaries. Data was subsequently evaluated utilizing descriptive analysis techniques. Frequencies, percentages, summing ratings, and Mean are among the descriptive analysis approaches. To evaluate the data and exhibit it in tables and charts, computer-based quantitative data products (SPSS Version 22.0) were employed. To analyse qualitative data, the content analysis method was applied. The Nvivo 8 computer suite was used to analyse all data acquired from Focused Group Discussions or In-depth Interviews. The researcher also used the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22.0. In the Study it has been observed that P.C.E.A embraces performance appraisal and in its GAC of 2013 the Business committee which runs the Church from one General Assembly to the other ,it was instructed to ensure that there is use of current management skills to ensure formulation and implementation of church programmes.The church since the time has been having the practice of performance appraisal in some of its parishes and presbyteries. The results in the study show that; on how training affect Performance Appraisal and to what extent, majority of the respondents indicated it is great at 60% while 40% showed it was greater. Effect of Working condition has 80% indicating it is Greater and 20% responding it is great. On extent of effect of attitude,55%felt it is Greatest 27%Greater and 18% great. Finally on the extent of effect of Workload, 37% responded it is greater at 37% and 63% responding it is great.

 Abstract

ABSTRACT The phrase "social media" is used to describe a wide range of digital platforms that allow users to publish, distribute, and debate user-generated material. In order to better understand how social media has affected our society, we'll be breaking it down into its component parts. Numerous studies have revealed both positive and harmful results from frequent social media use. Increases in social engagement and communication, educational opportunities, and access to health-related information are all positive outcomes. Increases in mental health issues like depression and anxiety, as well as criminal behavior like catfishing, bullying, and even terrorist acts, are just some of the negative effects of social media on communities. To a large extent, positive results may be expected when individuals use social media for the correct reasons and to accomplish their goals. Organizations with a stake in this issue should work together to limit any negative effects and maximize any positive ones.

जैविक घटक मानवी जीवनाच्या सर्व क्षेत्रात परिणाम घडवून आणतात. प्राचीन काळापासून युद्धे वा संघर्ष होतहोती. या संघर्षात अतिरेकी संघटना किंवा व्यक्तींद्वारे जैविक घटकांचा वउपयोग केला जात होता. ज्याची व्याख्या जैविक दहशतवाद म्हणून केली जाते. ज्यामध्ये सूक्ष्मजंतू आणि त्यांचे विष जैविक शस्त्र म्हणून वापरले गेले आहेत. वर्तमान परिस्थितीत आण्विक, अनुवांशिक पद्धतींच्या अनुवांशिक रचना बदलून, नवीन वैशिष्ट्यांसह सूक्ष्मजीव तयार करणे शक्य झाले आहे जे त्यांना अधिक प्राणघातक बनविले जाते. अतिरेकी आता नवीन, अधिक विध्वंसक आणि सहज प्रवेश करण्यायोग्य शस्त्रे शोधत असल्याने शीतयुद्धानंतरच्या काळात जैविक शस्त्रांच्या वापरामुळे धोका निर्माण होत आहे, जैव दहशतवादी हल्ल्यांचा धोका भूतकाळापेक्षा वर्तमान काळात एक जागतिक आव्हान बनले आहे.

Plants have been one of the most important source of medicines since the beginning of human civilization. Plant-based medications, health goods, pharmaceuticals, food supplements, and cosmetics are in high demand. Murraya koenigii, often known as the curry leaf tree, is a multipurpose tree that provides therapeutic goods. This research aims to give a summary of the chemical constituents found in Murraya koenigii leaf extract, with a focus on their pharmacological effects. Leaf extracts were used to conduct qualitative and quantitative phytochemicals screening in two distinct solvents: water and methanol. The goal of this research was to find out what phytochemicals components were present in curry leaf extract. The extracts contained glycosides, alkaloids, oils, spooning, cardiac glycosides, phenols, terpenoids, and flavonoids, according to spectral phytochemicals analysis by LC-MS and FTIR. Isolation, purification, and multiplication culture development methods were used to test the extract's antibacterial effectiveness against Staphylococcus aurous grime +Ve round shaped bacteria. TLC was performed on Murraya koenigii leaf extract, which revealed various Rf values. The extract that yielded promising results was column fractionated, and the obtained fractions were tested for antibacterial and antioxidant activities using a spot assay. The antibacterial and antioxidant activity of Murraya koenigii leaf extract demonstrated that plants had both antimicrobial and antioxidant activity, according to the findings.

 Abstract

One of the most important freedom and right which is provided through the Indian Constitution to its citizens is the freedom of speech and expression. Among other fundamental rights, the freedom of speech is considered the most important freedom because this is the basic right without which other rights have no value until a person has right to express what he feels, his other freedoms are worthless. Freedom of speech and expression has been provided under article 19 (1) (a) of the Constitution of India. India is a democratic country and to preserve the essential feature of democracy, freedom of press as now included in the freedom of speech and expression is necessary. It is important to note that freedom of press was not there in the constitution when it was implemented. The freedom of press was included in the freedom of speech after Supreme Court judgment in the case of Romesh Thaper vs. State of Madras . In this case the apex court observed that the freedom of press is the most important part of freedom of speech and expression. Justice Patanjali Sastri in the instant case observed that freedom of press includes propagation the view and ideas and that freedom is ensured by the freedom of press. Freedom of press includes news papers and films i.e. motion pictures as medium to express the views among which motion pictures are much important because it is interesting as well as easy to express the views with the help of pictures with sound effects and drama. However, presently the concept and quality of pictures i.e. movies, serials etc have completely changed. Though the motion pictures are subject to censorship but the change between the theme, story and concept of the films can be seen apparently from the past to present.

 Abstract

The main aim of our research was to development And Evaluation of Topical Drug Delivery for Wound Healing in Diabetic Patients. Topical route is most suitable route for skin infections. The development of topical drug delivery systems designed to have systemic effects appears to be beneficial for a number of drugs on account of the several advantages over conventional routes of drug administration. A novel cream formulation consisting of Vildagliptin was prepared. The formulation was subjected to in-vitro diffusion studies and in-vitro cell line study. No change of the physical properties was observed; the pH was in a proper range (approximately pH 4.60 to 5.78). The formulations showed good spread ability, no evidence of phase separation and good consistency during this study period. Prepared formulation show good drug release and in-vitro cell line study show the moderate wound healing activity. Batch F8 show the optimum drug release and good wound healing activity. So it is concluded that optimized batch is F8. From the present study it can be concluded that it is possible to develop creams containing Vildagliptin having wound healing property and can be used as the provision of a barrier to protect skin.
