Information retrieving competence of the students during COVID-19: A study
Get PDFWith the advancement of computer science and information technology, enormous generation of data and information in particular has been observed in every field of knowledge over the past decades. The ultimate purpose of information creation is to serve the need of information seekers. Due to complex nature of information, it needs to be organised and retrieved effectively so that it can be put to use. Information Retrieval can be defined as the process of representing, storing, organising and accessing of information, generally documents that are suitable to an information need at the user end. The present study attempts to make an analysis of information retrieving competence of the students of the University of Jammu during COVID-19. In order to meet the purpose of this study, survey method was adopted and a questionnaire was distributed online to the students. The outcomes of the study reveal if information retrieval was difficult during the period, various reasons for information seeking and the effect on information retrieving ability of the students. It also brings into light the capability of students to evaluate information for further use and the things they have learnt while retrieving information during the pandemic
The efficiency and encounters of online education for higher secondary school students
Get PDFThe COVID-19 pandemic has limited the rapid implementation of electronic learning. In any case, little is a basic experience with the common sense and issues looked at by the students. Consequently, this review revolves around assessing the appropriateness of web browsing and the issues it presents to students' abilities to learn. This audit used a significant assessment configuration using a review overview, facilitated by 99 students from an auxiliary school in Jasin, Melaka. Information was clearly broken down (rate evaluation and overt repetition). The announcements mostly showed that the students had computers or PDAs and a web relationship at home. In addition, the cut-off point and applicability to use computers were found to be high (> 93%). Coincidentally, their inspiration in electronic learning was low (41.5%) and the capacity to work in an event was at a moderate level (66.7%). They similarly agreed that typical training (eye to eye) was great for their learning (98%). These revelations are great for the public power, principals, instructors and gatekeepers to see the significance of remarkable work environments and a consistent web relationship for productive learning. 
Artificial intelligence in modern dentistry
Get PDFAdvancements in the domain of computer science have made artificial intelligence (AI) almost ubiquitous in everyday life. Dentistry is known to easily adapt to new technologies and hence can easily acclimatize to this nascent field. With AI spreading into dentistry, models are being used to ascertain almost every dental condition, ranging from the routine dental caries to the more complex conditions like oral cancer, maxillofacial cysts, alveolar bone loss, and even appraising the urgency for orthodontic extractions. Artificial intelligence, has untapped potential and shows promising prospects. Multiple studies have been evaluated to highlight the progress made till date and it has been seen that AI based automated systems are exceptional in a limited domain and perform on par to dental specialists on a variety of performance parameters. Better adaptation and utilization of technology will help in better and precise treatment outcomes, while also reducing the work burden of the clinician. Databases such as PubMed Central and Google Scholar were used to scout approximately 33 articles of recent origin using keywords such as artificial intelligence; artificial neural networks; convolutional neural networks; deep learning; and machine learning were used. 
Optimization of process condition to improve percentage purity of aloe emodin from aloe vera by extraction using response surface methodology with the central composite design tool
Get PDFExtraction is a common separation technique in major chemical and pharmaceutical industries, and it has traditionally been a recommended method for separating active ingredients. The objectives of this research work were to optimize extraction conditions for the separation of derivatives of anthraquinone compounds, especially Aloe Emodin (AE) from Aloe-Vera latex (AVL) using the tool response surface methodology (RSM). This study used three process variables at different levels (20 experimental design runs) proposed by RSM with central composite design (CCD). Multiple regression analysis was used to produce a quadratic polynomial equation to predict extraction condition. The significant effects of the components were investigated using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The first series of single factor studies determined the range of independent variables, including extraction temperature (60-80°C), agitation speed (750-1250 rpm), and solid loading (10-20 gm). Based on the outcomes of single factor trials, the actual values of the independent variables coded were chosen. The optimum conditions for extraction variables for AE were found to be 77.66 °C (±1 °C), 1015 rpm (±10 rpm), and 20.15 gm (±0.01 gm). The maximum experimental purity of AE attained under these optimized settings was 95.36 percent, which was quite near to projected values.

Nano sulfated zirconia over silica for highly effective nano sulfated zirconia
Get PDFSulfated zirconia over silica core (NSZS) was synthesised using an ultrasonic-irradiated sol-gel media in which zirconia nanoparticles were distributed on a silica core created by applying ultrasonic irradiation to the sol-gel medium. In order to produce a highly effective catalyst, it is important to have a high surface-to-volume ratio, which the synthesised core-shell catalytic system fully meets. An ultrasonic titanium horn in a sonochemical glass reactor was used for the synthesis. The generated catalyst's crystalline size was 8 nm using this procedure. XRD, N2 Physiosorption, TG-DTA, FTIR, and SEM were used to analyse the produced catalysts. Isobutane alkylation with butene-1 catalysed at 98 percent efficiency by the catalyst after 26 hours of speed of a person's response. A 94 percent activity level was achieved after four and two rounds of regeneration, respectively. Nanoparticles that are not agglomerated may be formed by ultrasonic irradiation, as shown by the NSZS's properties

Association of leptin with insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes mellitus: A prospective study
Get PDFIntroduction: Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease that is characterized by impaired glucose metabolism and insulin resistance. Leptin is a 16-kDa protein hormone, which is secreted by adipocytes. Plasma Leptin concentration increases in proportion to body fat mass and regulate food intake and energy expenditure to maintain body fat stores. Leptin binds with a leptin receptor (LEPR) that is located on pancreatic beta cells to regulate insulin secretion. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective and case-control study was conducted in the Department of Biochemistry at Great Eastern Medical School and hospital over a period of 1 year. After the inclusion of participants in the study, their demographics such as age, BMI, gender, and smoking history were noted in self-structured questionnaires. Their blood was drawn and sent to the laboratory for Lipid profile levels, insulin resistance and leptin levels. The serum levels of Leptin were measured using a radioimmunoassay (RIA). Results: The probable association between Leptin and Insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes mellitus. 60 recent onset (<5 years) diabetics and age-sex matched 60 non-diabetic controls were assessed for physical and chemical parameters. 
Overview of metabolic syndrome in COVID-19 patients: A retrospective mono centric study in Central India
Get PDFMetabolic syndrome (MetS) is highly prevalent in Indian Subcontinent, andits components like high BMI, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension have been identified as risk factors to develop severe SARS-CoV2 (COVID-19); however, data on MetS and clinical outcomes in COVID-19 are limited. Thisstudy aims to determine association between MetS and disease out-comes, that is, morbidity and mortality among patients with COVID-19. This retrospective mono centric cohort study was performed from. 1st may to 15th may 2021, on 100 patient admitted in a tertiary care hospital. Hospital stay and mortality rates are compared between the Mets and non Mets group.
