Our study proposes a quantitative investigation to identify trends of anxiety and physical activity among medical students or graduates while studying for the United State Examination Licensure Examination Steps at Pass Program in Champaign, Illinois. The research emphasizes students' physical activity and anxiety contributing to study performance, such as retention and concentration with USMLE question bank improvement. The quantitative research study aims to evaluate medical students and graduates by providing participants with questionnaires. The study is divided into two phases. The first phase provides a clinical questionnaire to participants, and the second phase interviews to evaluated responses and eliminate any barriers in the research. Students or graduates engaged in physical activity are more likely to retain and have efficient concentration while studying for the USMLE examination. Physical activity controlled participants' anxiety; however, physical activity did not significantly change the daily USMLE test banks. Medical students and graduates are less physically active and have developed generalized high levels of anxiety. The study estimated that 73.3% of students claimed that they suffer from anxiety, contributing to test banks' low performance. The research has shown that medical students and graduates are not regularly physically active. Females are less physically active than males. The concentration results presented that 59.7% of participants stated daily physical activity improved concentration by providing efficiency on USMLE question banks. 59.5% of participants mentioned that physical activity significantly helped students and graduates control their anxiety levels. 51.1% of participants stated they did not witness any significant changes (increase or decrease) in daily question bank performance with regular physical activity. 46.9% of students stated that physical activity improved retention of study material with daily physical exercise activity. The research has significantly shown medical students' and graduates' study hectic schedules hinder participants' physical activity. The stress of USMLE has caused students and graduates to experience a high level of anxiety. Students or graduates engaged in physical activity are more likely to retain and have efficient concentration while studying for the USMLE examination. Physical activity controlled participants' anxiety; however, physical activity did not significantly change the daily USMLE test banks.

Greenhouse farming in Kenya is becoming a lucrative investment as well as a means of improving food production in marginal environments. The Greenhouse is intended to regulate external conditions including soil moisture content suitable to different types of crops. Many farmers use timers to control irrigation, but timers do not account to day to day changes in plant use. The aim of this study was to analyze the challenges faced in regulation of soil moisture content in greenhouses; The study was guided by Mamdani Fuzzy Logic Theory that uses Nested “IF THEN RULES”. Preliminary data was collected through Observation and Interview schedules. The population of the study comprises five greenhouse farmers and four field officers. Experimental Research Methodology was applied. The study found out that most small scale farmers had a lot of difficulties in determining and controlling soil moisture content. Apart from having a person on site at the right time to control the turning on and off of the water taps, they also mention the following as being the prevalent challenges: Lack of appropriate equipment to measure, monitor and regulate the soil moisture content, inability to determine the correct or the optimum moisture level for a particular crop, inability to determine water holding capacity of a specific type of soil in the greenhouse for a particular crop, inability to measure the nutrient concentration at a given soil moisture content and its uptake by the crop, Source of power to the Greenhouse and Lack of enough funds to buy the equipment.

The present study investigates the anti-inflammatory activity of Hamelia patens leaf extracts using carrageenan induced paw edema in albino rats. This anti-inflammatory medicinal value of the Hamelia patens leaf has been mentioned in ancient literature. Dried leaves of Hamelia patens were crushed and the extract was prepared with ethanol using shaker. Indomethacin and Hamelia patens are compared in terms of their anti-inflammatory properties. Test groups were given standard Indomethacin (10mg/kg) and Hamelia patens leaf extract in 200mg/kg and 400mg/kg; after 1% Carrageenan (0.1 ml) injection. Hamelia patens leaf extract showed higher reduction in paw edema and potent anti-inflammatory activity in comparison with indomethacin. It also showed decrease in lipid peroxidation due to its anti-oxidative nature, leaving a large prospect for future anticancer research.

Religious institutions in India are too rich in terms of their income through donations and treasures. But this wealth of the country is kept confined to the institutions itself. This paper explains the current scenario of Indian religious institutions by carrying out an empirical as well as the descriptive research on the topic. It will focus on the need of the hour for using these funds for the social upliftment and development. It will also emphasize whether nationalisation of these institutions is required or not. This paper also analyses that if the religious institutions are already under State control, then there should be a transparent mechanism in which all the funds collected through religious institutions are utilized. And it will also study that the funds need to be circulated in the economy for the boom of the economy. It has also emphasized on some international systems where taxes has been imposed upon the religious institutions for the development of the country and the institutions itself. Lastly, we would be discussing whether there is a need for imposing Aastha Tax in India. And what should be the nature of such taxes (if imposed) and their advantages and disadvantages as well.

A highly efficient and expedient protocol for the synthesis of hydrazones catalyzed by citric acid is investigated via reaction of hydrazine hydrate with different carbonyl compounds. The use of inexpensive, non-hazardous easily available citric acid as a catalyst for the synthesis hydrazones employing grinding technique is reported. The structures of the synthesized compounds are established on the basis of physical, chemical and spectral data.

Agricultural Machinery is mostly used in off road i.e. in the field. In the field these machines perform different field operations like Ploughing, where the parts are subjected to stresses like tensile stress, compressive stress and shear stress thereby high wear due to heavy loads. The critical components in the agriculture machinery are either forged or fabricated out of medium carbon steel by unorganized sectors in India. As a result the users suffer on account of quality and short service life of these components. Recently Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) has come up which has high strength, high wear resistance and less manufacturing cost. This material is now being widely used in production of critical agricultural machinery components for cost effectiveness uses. The paper described the Mechanical, Tribological properties of Austempered ductile iron and its application areas in agricultural machinery in India and abroad.

The aim of this project is investigating parameters that affect response of buried pipelines due to high-frequency seismic excitations. The main focus of the study is on reinforced concrete pipelines. Steel pipelines are also studied for comparison purposes. Two-dimensional finite element models are developed for dynamic analysis of pipelines loaded by seismic waves that propagate from the bedrock through the soil. The models describe both longitudinal and transverse cross-sections of pipelines. The interaction between pipelines and surrounding soils is accounted for, including a nonlinear behavior. The pipelines studied are assumed to be surrounded by frictional soils with dense, medium and loose stiffness. The effects of water mass, burial depth, soil layer thickness and non-uniform ground thickness caused by inclined bedrock are studied. It is demonstrated how two-dimensional plane strain models can be used for seismic analysis of pipelines with circular cross-sections.

Market efficiency depends on several things such as stability, confidence, and the flow of accessible information in any country. Others also caution that one must be aware of social or transactional costs which persons grapple with in cases involving political and market settlements. This has to do with “time”, “money”, and the “effort someone loses” in obtaining what he wants during a controversy in the market or political system. This also entails that people should fight less in order to reduce “friction” instead of contributing to this in public matters. Thus, according to Economists, other costs, including search and information costs, bargaining costs, keeping trade secrets, and policing and enforcement costs, can all potentially add to the cost of procuring something from another party. When elections are encountering numerous problems such as they produce risk and uncertainty, economic success may be greatly hampered. Market transactions could be affected. Elections are very important activities, which help nations to elect their prime leaders and parliamentarians. So whenever problems occur due to risk and uncertainties that are involved, the nation in question could fall into pandemonium, which could lead to anarchy. The purpose of the study was to determine how behavioural and social factors cause certain conditions to prevail as a result of conflicts which result from political elections. The use of comparative method enabled the author to combine theories of neuroscience, psychology, microeconomics tools to investigate conditions that occasion these instabilities in elections. Results show that certain behavioural characteristics emerge that illuminate on how leaders perceive themselves in power that negatively influences the political system. The conclusion is that behavioural economics concepts could be utilised to aid leaders in the Third World to desist from certain tendencies which prevent some good governance principles to function in these societies.
