 Abstract

The healthcare industry across the globe is facing sever workforce shortage which is only likely to increase in future. India would need atleast 4.3 million nurses by 2024 owing to its large population, increasing incidence of disease and people needing medical needs. Climatic factors like supportive work culture, working conditions, justified work distribution, transparency etc. affect employee satisfaction. It is believed that the majority of the challenges faced by the Indian healthcare can be addressed through organisational climate. This research aims to study the influence of organisational climate on job satisfaction and intention to stay of nursing staff. Researcher surveyed 285 nursing professionals working at Maharaja Agrasen Hospital, Punjabi Bagh and Dwarka, India. Findings of the study established a direct and statistically significant link between organisational climate and both job satisfaction and nurse's intention to stay. Also, factors other than organisational climate also affected job satisfaction and intention to leave. Findings of this research were similar to findings of several of the previous researchers. Further research is needed to identify other factors which might influence job satisfaction and intention to stay.

The emergence of voice cloning technology has brought about several difficulties and the possibility of abuse in a few contexts, hence strong detection systems are required. This overview paper offers a thorough analysis of contemporary and conventional methods for identifying voice clones. A thorough examination of the advantages and disadvantages of conventional techniques, including Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) in conjunction with similarity measurements, is conducted. Furthermore, current methods utilizing machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) models are reviewed, emphasizing their versatility and efficacy in recognising artificial voices. A comparative examination of these approaches is included in the survey, and their accuracy, efficiency, and scalability are assessed. The purpose of this analysis is to clarify the status of voice cloning detection, point out areas of research deficiency, and make recommendations for future improvements to detection capabilities. The survey's findings are meant to guide the creation of more sophisticated and trustworthy detection systems, which will ultimately help to protect audio communications' authenticity.

 Abstract

A large wading bird in the Ciconiidae family, the Painted stork is classified as Near Threatened. A study was conducted from the Zoo in the Lucknow District of Uttar Pradesh, India. The only seasonal short-distance movements that painted storks exhibit are those made in pursuit of food and breeding grounds. These birds are migratory natives to the area. In many bird species, choosing the nest site is thought to be crucial to successful reproduction. In order to suggest management of the species for conservation, the study set out to determine the factors influencing the choice of nesting habitat and nest tree, as well as time management during nest building. In this species, little research has been done on the significance of choosing a nest site and nest building behavior. In trees or places close to bodies of water, painted storks prepare their nest. The Ashoka nest trees (Saraca longifolia) were the ones chosen. The availability of food was the primary factor influencing the choice of nest site. The female and male took part in cleaning the nest. The materials used to build the nest were grasses (Sacharum and Jussiaea), some soft green leaves (twigs of Eucalyptus), and pieces of old tree branches. These branches contributed to the fortification. The nest was made softer by the grasses and leaves. Eucalyptus leaves have the ability to repel insects.

 Abstract

The main aim of the present work is to formulate and evaluate the natural lip balm. Rising global demand for natural products whose production is harmless to the environment has stimulated the development of natural cosmetics and, within this category, organics (95% organic raw materials). The image of environmentally friendly production is one of the strongest attractions of organic products. Now a days naturally obtain cosmetics are widely used than synthetic cosmetics. Among all cosmetic product lip balm formulations are most widely used to enhance beauty of lips. The present formulation of lip balm is prepared by using the various herbal ingredients like beet root extract used for coloring purpose, almond oil used for rejuvenate the dead cells and excipients like coco powder as a flavoring agent, vitamin E capsule used as an antioxidant, petroleum jelly used as a base. Lip balms offer a natural way to maintain and promote healthy lips. Current cosmetic lip products are based on use of enormous chemical ingredients with various side effect hence in this work, an attempt has made to study natural ingredients use to formulate natural lip balm. The formulated lip balm is evaluated by physical examination and also microbial study can be performed.

 Abstract

This paper explores the complex relationship between food and human emotion in Anjali Joseph's novel Another Country, using Donald Winnicott's theory of transitional objects as a psychoanalytic framework to conduct a literary study. Food in the novel serves as a powerful medium for reflecting and mediating the protagonist Leela Ghosh's emotional states and cultural identity. Through a detailed analysis, the paper demonstrates how food acts as a transitional object, providing comfort and continuity amidst Leela's personal and cultural dislocations. The paper also highlights how culinary experiences mirror Leela's inner turmoil and facilitate moments of connection and intimacy, helping her navigate complex emotional landscapes. The symbolic significance of food is highlighted as it becomes a conduit for cultural memory and a vehicle for resolving emotional conflicts.

 Abstract

This paper compares three distinct approaches to signal amplification and conditioning for piezoelectric sensors and light intensity measurement. The first approach addresses the challenge of amplifying weak charge signals from piezoelectric plates in shape detection, proposing a compact, high-integration charge amplifier circuit with strong anti-interference capabilities. This design, validated through Multisim simulations and actual tests, demonstrates good passband flatness and less than 2% theoretical error, highlighting its feasibility and reliability. The second approach presents a novel charge amplifier for piezoelectric sensors, particularly beneficial in quasi-static applications. By eliminating the need for extremely large resistors and utilizing a simple analog and linear feedback network with general-purpose JFET operational amplifiers, the proposed circuit significantly reduces output offset voltage and implementation costs. Experimental results show a low-cutoff frequency of 0.2 Hz and a gain of 20.5 dB, with a minimal output offset voltage and a relative error of 2.1%. The third approach evaluates different signal conditioning circuits for light intensity measurement using LDR and photodiode sensors. It emphasizes the importance of accurate light measurement for various applications and highlights the performance of instrumentation amplifiers for fixed lux ranges and active low-pass filters for variable lux ranges. This comparative analysis underscores the advancements in signal conditioning solutions tailored to specific applications, enhancing measurement accuracy and efficiency.

 Abstract

Excessive gingival pigmentation can significantly impact a person's smile aesthetics. The growing emphasis on a perfect smile has led to a surge in gingival depigmentation procedures. These surgeries aim to improve gingival aesthetics by addressing pigmentation concerns. Periodontal therapy has received a significant boost with the advent of platelet concentrates. This innovative approach promotes rapid wound healing through two key mechanisms: enhanced blood vessel formation (neovascularization) and accelerated remodelling of scar tissue (cicatricle tissue). Compared to platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), concentrated growth factor (CGF) represents a novel autologous platelet concentrate. Its distinct centrifugation process yields a denser fibrin matrix enriched with a higher concentration of growth factors. This case report describes a successful surgical approach to gingival depigmentation by use of a CGF membrane as a periodontal dressing following the removal of pigment.
