 Abstract

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are short, naturally occurring molecules that play a crucial role in the innate immune defense of virtually all living organisms. These peptides exhibit potent activity against a broad range of pathogens, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and even certain parasites. In recent years, AMPs have gained significant attention as promising alternatives to conventional antibiotics, particularly amid escalating global antibiotic resistance. This review provides a detailed overview of AMP structure, classification, and mechanisms of action, highlights their potential therapeutic applications, and discusses current challenges and future perspectives in their development as clinically viable antimicrobial agents.

 Abstract

This study examined the socio-economic determinants affecting workforce efficiency among public health personnel, with the aim of identifying key factors and proposing evidence-based interventions to support these dedicated professionals. Utilizing a quantitative-correlational research design, the study gathered valuable insights from 353 public health professionals across Central Luzon. Findings revealed that socio-economic determinants including income, job security, and living conditions received neutral assessments (grand mean = 3.31), indicating a stable foundation with opportunities for enhancement. Education, notably, was viewed positively (M = 3.99), demonstrating strong professional preparation. Encouragingly, workplace factors such as collaboration and teamwork (M = 4.09), role clarity (M = 4.04), management support (M = 3.75), organizational culture (M = 3.72), and overall satisfaction (M = 3.64) all garnered favorable ratings. Workforce efficiency achieved a commendable grand mean of 3.85, reflecting strong performance levels among health professionals. Correlation analysis revealed meaningful relationships between income and organizational culture (p = 0.030), education and overall satisfaction (p = 0.030), and living conditions with both collaboration (p = 0.024) and workplace culture (p = 0.001). These connections provide valuable insights into areas where targeted support could yield the greatest positive impact. The key areas where additional support would be most beneficial were identified as workforce capacity and workload distribution (84.4%), opportunities to enhance compensation structures and timeliness (81.3%), medical supplies and equipment availability (78.2%), optimizing patient-to-staff ratios (75.1%), and upgrading facility conditions (72%). Supportive measures proposed included strategic hiring initiatives, wellness programs, competitive salary standardization, strengthened procurement systems, balanced workload distribution, digital innovation adoption, and facility modernization. The study concluded that while workplace environment and workforce efficiency demonstrated positive outcomes, socio-economic factors present valuable opportunities for growth and development. Recommendations emphasized integrated, supportive policy interventions addressing compensation equity, professional development opportunities, infrastructure modernization, and comprehensive employee welfare programs to further enhance both job satisfaction and service delivery excellence in public health settings.

 Abstract

The genus Alcanivorax is a group of marine bacteria that has the capacity to degrade hydrocarbons, and they are important agents in bioremediation in marine oil-polluted environments; once hydrocarbons enter the water column, these bacteria can become numerically dominant in oil-afflicted waters, and use alkanes as their primary source of carbon. This article discusses Alcanivorax taxonomy, hydrocarbon degradation mechanisms, ecological functions, and methods of either stimulating or inhibiting Alcanivorax activity in marine ecosystems. Overall, more knowledge of Alcanivorax species will provide a knowledge base for biotechnological advances for sustainable bioremediation of marine oil spills.

 Abstract

The global transition towards electric mobility has created an urgent need for intelligent and efficient electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. Conventional charging systems lack automation, remote monitoring capabilities, and the ability to interact with the power grid, leading to potential grid strain and inefficient energy consumption. This paper presents the design and simulation of a smart, automatic EV charging system leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT). The proposed system utilizes a NodeMCU (ESP8266) microcontroller as its core, integrated with voltage and current sensors to monitor the battery's state of charge (SoC). A relay module is employed to automatically control the charging process, preventing overcharging and enhancing battery longevity. The system communicates with an IoT cloud platform via the MQTT protocol, enabling users to remotely monitor real-time charging parameters and control the charging operation through a web-based dashboard. The complete system architecture, hardware, software logic, and simulation approach are detailed, demonstrating a cost-effective, reliable, and user-friendly solution for modern EV charging.

To study the difference in Achievement Motivation among undergraduate students with respect to streams (Arts, Commerce, and Science). To study the difference in Achievement Motivation among Undergraduate Students with respect to Gender. To study the difference in Achievement Motivation among Undergraduate students with respect to type of college. Researcher selected 180 students of undergraduate studying in two colleges. In the present study t-test ANOVA and Correlation was used to analyze the data by using SPSS. The study examined achievement motivation showed significant variation across the three streams (F = 27.742, p < 0.05). This highlights that students from different academic disciplines have different levels of motivation, possibly due to varying academic demands and career prospects. Male students exhibited significantly higher achievement motivation (t=3.988, p < 0.05) compared to female students, indicating that males may be more driven toward academic success than females in this sample. There was no significant difference in achievement motivation between students from government and private colleges (t = 0.734), indicating that institutional type does not have a considerable impact on students' motivation to achieve.

 Abstract

Energy is a key driver of economic development and social progress. In recent decades, a global transition has occurred from fossil-fuel-based energy sources to renewable alternatives such as solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal energy, and green hydrogen. These resources are considered clean and sustainable as they reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help mitigate climate change while offering significant socio-economic benefits. Rapid population growth and industrial expansion have intensified energy demand, making the adoption of alternative energy sources essential. For India, renewable energy provides a practical solution to its rising energy requirements. Government initiatives such as the Make in India program, along with supportive policies, have encouraged domestic manufacturing and attracted foreign investment, generating employment opportunities across sectors. In 2022, India became the world's fourth-largest producer of renewable energy, strengthening energy security and promoting sustainable development. The target of achieving 500 GW by 2030 further enhances opportunities for private-sector participation and technological advancement.

Abstract With an emphasis on the Udalguri district, this study investigates the political engagement, awareness, and perspective of the Tea Tribes s community in the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) elections within the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR). One of the most disadvantaged groups in the area is the Tea Tribes, who were first brought to Assam as plantation labourers. One hundred fifty Tea Tribes voters participated in field surveys to gather primary data for the study, which uses a mixed-method approach to incorporate qualitative and quantitative data. The main tool for collecting data was an interview schedule. According to the findings, the percentage of votes cast by Tea Tribes s voters may seem high, but it does not represent meaningful or educated political engagement. Low levels of political awareness and varying perceptions of political engagement indicate that participation is often symbolic rather than substantive. In an area where their identity has long been disputed, some people view voting as a way to establish their citizenship. Participation is a calculated move to assert rights and representation for a community that is more politically unaware. The study highlights the necessity of focused political education and inclusion initiatives to guarantee that Tea Tribes democratic participation is meaningful and well-informed.

 Abstract

The growing energy demand and environmental concerns have increased interest in renewable sources like solar power However, solar energy is intermittent due to changing weather conditions. This project integrates supercapacitors into solar systems to stabilize power output Supercapacitors provide high power density, fast charge-discharge rates, and long lifespan, making them ideal for storing excess solar energy and supplying it when sunlight decreases. A boost converter regulates voltage, while an Energy Management System (EMS) optimizes charging and discharging cycles This setup ensures stable power delivery, improved efficiency, and system reliability Supercapacitors, known for the rapid charge-discharge cycles, high power density, and long lifespans, outperform conventional batteries in handling quick energy fluctuations and minimizing downtime By connecting supercapacitors in parallel with solar panels and using real-time monitoring for voltage and current, it is possible to smooth out energy supply variations, ensuring a more reliable and optimized solar power output. Such systems enhance energy buffering, enable efficient energy utilization, and improve overall system resilience, making them highly beneficial for both off grid and grid-connected solar installation. This study examines the variation of solar radiation which effect on storage performance, supporting application such as off-grid systems, EV charging.
