The British East India Company used the enormous sums of money produced by the provinces under its control to buy Indian commodities, raw resources, and spices. The company's political clout in India steadily grew starting in 1757. India saw frequent famines, widespread poverty, a high percentage of illiteracy, and one of the lowest life expectancies in the world. Objective: Examining India's economic situation under the British Crown rule after East India Company rule is the study's goal. Method and Materials: The study is based on a wide range of published and unpublished research articles, papers, books, government reports, etc. Results and Discussion: There are so many Causes of the 1857–1858 Revolt. The so-called Indian Mutiny of 1857 served as the impetus for Britain's move from East India Company to Crown administration through the Government of India Act of 1858. Conclusion: India's economy was looted for British profits during the British Crown's dominion, which resulted in deindustrialization, agricultural crises, trade exploitation, and pervasive poverty. By the time India gained independence in 1947, its economy was weak and in poverty as a result of British policies that hampered its growth.

Oxidative stress is acknowledged as a significant contributor to the initiation and advancement of Diabetes Mellitus and its associated consequences. Consequently, antioxidant-based treatment approaches have garnered heightened interest in diabetes research. Detarium Senegalense (DS), a plant extensively used in traditional West African medicine, has antidiabetic and antioxidant characteristics. The present study therefore assessed and compared the antioxidant potential of fractionalized extracts of Detarium Senegalense in diabetic Wistar rat models. Male Wistar rats, with weights ranging from 150-200 grams, were deployed and randomly separated, with each of the 6 different groups having 7 rats per group. The first group took just water and ordinary feed (control), while groups 2-6 were subjected to streptozotocin (ST-Z) induction (60 mg/kg intraperitoneally). Group 2 was the control and received 60mg/kg streptozocin only intraperitonially, group 3 received ST-Z and 50mg/kg metformin (MET-F). Group 4, 5 and 6 received 250 mg/kg each of D. Senegalense (DS) extracts of ethyl acetate (DS_EA), N-hexane (DS_HE), and chloroform (DS_CE) respectively. Fasting blood glucose levels, Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Malondialdehyde (MD-A), Catalase (CATL), were assessed and compared weekly over a 10-week period, before and after therapy. The experimental animals exhibited superior antioxidant bioactivity compared to control animals. Diabetic rats demonstrated a substantial elevation in MD-A, a depletion in CATL along with SOD. Administration of 250mg/kg each of hexane (DS_HE), ethyl acetate (DS_EA) as well as chloroform fractions (DS_CE) derived from the ethanol extract from the bark of the stem in conjunction with 50mg/kg of the anti-diabetic drug metformin (MET), substantially decreased MD-A levels while enhancing CATL and SOD, with the ethyl acetate extract demonstrating the greatest efficiency. The DS extract exhibited considerable antioxidant capabilities, substantiating its use in traditional medicine.

Treatment of wastewater from heavy metal pollutants still remains a serious challenge for some developing countries without centralized waste water systems. The study examines the potentials of raw and nano composite from Spondias mombin seed as an adsorbent for removal of lead (II) ions from contaminated water. Instrumental techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer (FTIR), and Atomic absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) were used to characterize the absorbents. The study analyzed the effect of various factors including absorbent dosage (0.2 – 1.0g), lead concentration (100-300 mg), contact time (30-180 min), pH (2-10) and temperature (30-50°C) respectively, on the absorption of pb2+ ions. The experimental findings revealed that the adsorbents have high absorption capacity and high percentage removal for the removal of pb2+ ions from aqueous solutions. Absorption isotherm kinetic models and thermodynamic studies were applied to access the absorption mechanism of lead (II) ion removal. The Langmuir absorption isotherm and pseudo-second-order model were found to fit the equilibrium data for nano composite while Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-first-order fitted the equilibrium data for raw fruit. According to the results obtained, a linear model was generated which indicated good predictability and the results agreed with the experimental data. The contact time and absorbent dosage were predicted to have a positive effect on the absorption process. However, after the investigation on the efficiency of raw and nano composite of Spondias mombin fruit on the removal of lead (II) ion from aqueous solutions as the impact of different variables were investigated. The study showed that the raw and modified adsorbents can be considered effective adsorbent for the removal of lead metal ions from wastewater by varying some basic parameters. The physiochemical properties of the absorbent were analyzed and the results obtained confirmed the adsorption potentials of the raw and nano composite. The removal efficiencies of both adsorbents on the Pb2+ ion were strongly dependent on their contact time, initial metal ion concentration, absorbent dosage, pH and temperature. The Langmuir isotherm model was well fitted to the experimental data, indicating that the two absorbents were effective in removing Pb2+ ions from aqueous solutions with low absorption energy. The experimental data of Pb2+ ions adsorption by raw and nano composit adsorbents studied were fitted with the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic model respectively, revealing that adsorption occurs by physiosorptions and chemisorptions technique. The thermodynamic data showed that the adsorption process was exothermic, spontaneous and feasible in nature. Therefore, this work exposed the possible removal of lead (II) ions by raw and nano composite from agro waste of Spondias mombin from wastewater, which is generally a low cost agro waste.

The trace metal zinc is essential in all types of organisms, where it has many catalytic, structural and regulatory functions. Zinc homeostasis in cells and organelles is maintained by various types of zinc transport protein. These include Cation Diffusion Facilitator (CDF) family proteins, which export zinc to the extracellular space or to the cytoplasm. Homologous CDF proteins are found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, where the human variants are the ZnTs or SLC30 family. One of the first and best characterised prokaryotic CDFs is the Escherichia coli zinc exporter ZitB, which is driven by the proton motive force in an antiport manner. In this article we provide an analytical review and expand on the biochemical and computational characterisation of ZitB and assess its potential for high-resolution three-dimensional structure determination. Consistent with structures determined for other CDF proteins (YiiP, ZnTs 3, 4, 7 and 8), the 313 residues of ZitB are predicted to form six transmembrane spanning α-helices with a long cytoplasmic C-terminal tail. An unusual feature of ZitB is an exceptionally high (8.0%) content of histidine residues. Using the IPTG-inducible plasmid pTTQ18, we demonstrate the cloning and amplified expression in E. coli of non-tagged, wild-type ZitB at levels of ~15% of total protein in preparations of inner membranes. ZitB was solubilised in the mild detergent n-dodecyl-β-D-maltoside (DDM) and purified by immobilised metal affinity chromatography in yields of ~1.8 mg per litre of culture medium. The structural integrity of purified ZitB was confirmed by mass spectrometry and circular dichroism spectroscopy.

Introduction: One key aspect of fetal assessment is the measurement of amniotic fluid volume (AFV) which has been linked to various pregnancy complications. Postdated pregnancies those extending beyond 40 weeks of gestation present significant risks such as fetal distress, oligohydramnios, meconium staining, macrosomia and fetal post-maturity syndrome. Management of these pregnancies varies with some advocating expectant monitoring while others recommend induction of labor to mitigate risks. Ultrasound assessments like the amniotic fluid index (AFI) are crucial in guiding decisions about timing and mode of delivery, balancing the risks of prolonged pregnancy with those of premature birth. The aim of this study was to evaluate the AFI in postdated pregnancies and assess the associated maternal and fetal outcomes at Pravara Rural Hospital (PRH), Loni. Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at PRH, Loni with a sample size of 220 postdated pregnant women over two years. The inclusion criteria were women aged 18-35 years with a single live intrauterine gestation, cephalic presentation, and gestational age >40 weeks, who provided informed consent. The women underwent history-taking, obstetric examination and investigations including ultrasound and fetal Doppler. Delivery outcomes, including Apgar scores, birth weight, NICU admissions, and perinatal follow-up were recorded. Results: Among 220 participants, 92.72% were under 20 years old, with a mean age of 19.49 ± 1.44 years. Meconium-stained liquor occurred in 55.91% of cases. Most deliveries were vaginal (79.55%), followed by LSCS (16.36%). The mean birth weight was 3.03 ± 0.37 kg with 50.45% of infants having an Apgar <7. Maternal complications included atonic PPH (2.73%) and perineal tear (2.27%). Fetal complications included meconium aspiration syndrome (4.09%) and perinatal mortality (4.09%). Conclusion: Postdated pregnancies carry significant risks. Early assessment and

This study examines fitness consumption through the lens of social discipline and embodied practices, analyzing how individuals construct their identity in relation to an ideal body. Using a mixed-methods approach that includes questionnaire surveys and interviews, the study finds that fitness consumption is shaped by geographical location, information access, and social circle dynamics. Women and highly educated individuals show a stronger preference for personal training services. Women’s engagement is largely driven by societal expectations of physical appearance, whereas highly educated individuals view personal training as a status symbol. Additionally, social circle influences significantly impact men’s fitness consumption, highlighting gendered expectations. The study reveals that fitness consumption extends beyond health pursuits, serving as an expression of social status and values.

Elegy is a prominent and important topic of Arabic poetry in Nigeria, as through it the poet can express his feelings and pain he suffers due to the magnitude of the calamity resulting from the loss of a loved one who has a high status in the hearts of the people, despite all this, the elegy of women, whether a wife, daughter or sister, was very little and rare among Nigerian poets. Perhaps the reason for this is what critics have said, that the most difficult elegy for a poet is to eulogize a child or a woman, due to the narrowness of speech and the scarcity of attributes. This may lead to the failure of the poet, especially in the eulogy, which is a reminder of the tragedy and praise of the virtues of the deceased, and mentioning and enumerating his good qualities. This has led poets to abandon this type of elegy, except for a few of them. Among the contemporary Nigerian poets who practiced the elegy of women, despite the difficulty involved, is the poet Muhammad Nazir bin Muhammad Al-Qaurawi. This article aims to conduct an analytical literary study of the poet’s poem “Al-Hamziyah” in which he mourned his sister, with the aim of discovering the poem’s artistic values and highlighting the poet’s emotional quality in it. The article will focus on addressing this problem using the analytical method, relying on the following elements: a brief overview of the poet - presentation of the poem - structure of the poem and the poet’s emotional quality in it - the most important ideas contained in the poem - elements of elegy in the poem - artistic values in the poem - artistic evaluation of the poem - conclusion - list of references.

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are common health issues affecting workers across various industries. These disorders include conditions like back pain, neck strain, shoulder problems, and repetitive strain injuries, often caused by prolonged poor posture, repetitive movements, or heavy physical work. The prevalence of WMSDs varies globally but is generally high, especially among occupations involving manual labor, desk work, or tasks requiring repetitive motions. Studies indicate that a significant percentage of workers experience discomfort or injury at some point in their careers, leading to substantial personal and economic consequences. The impact of WMSDs on quality of life can be profound. Workers suffering from these conditions often experience chronic pain, reduced mobility, and decreased productivity. These physical limitations can lead to emotional distress, loss of job satisfaction, and social isolation. Moreover, the ongoing health issues can increase healthcare costs and result in work absenteeism or disability. Addressing the prevalence and impact of WMSDs is crucial to improving workers' well-being, enhancing productivity, and reducing associated healthcare burdens
The term Human-Wildlife conflict (HWC) refers to the interaction between Human and Wild animals, which as a result causes a negative impact on the Human population, wild animals, their habitats and resources. This conflict takes place when the rapidly thriving human population get their hands in the well-established territory, which ultimately creates the competition for habitat as well as resources. HWC now becoming a very serious global issue and for resolving this conflict the global concern is required for the conservation of wildlife and development of humans alike. Taking into consideration, that expanding demands for access to land and resources by the exponential growth of the human population and urbanization, it is clear that this growing conflict between human and wildlife will not be abolished in the coming future. So the reason is very obvious and clear for the better understanding of this continuously increasing conflict and hence management options are very crucial for the good survival of both human as well as wildlife. The study reveals that human wildlife conflict is a growing problem throughout the study area and a number of causes have been identified in this regard. The issues need to be solved sincerely in order to avoid Man-animal conflict. This research articles reveals the damaged caused by wild animals to human being from 2014 to 2024 in Chenab region of Jammu and Kashmir along with the impact and mitigation strategies.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), with their notable electric conductivity, mechanical electricity, and high surface region, have emerged as essential materials in the design of high-overall-performance electricity garage devices. Their particular one-dimensional structure facilitates rapid electron/ion shipping, enhances electrode structure, and comprises volumetric changes, making them valuable in lithium-ion, lithium–sulfur, and metal air batteries and bendy super capacitors. CNTs have shown extensive improvements in power density, cycle lifestyles, and fee functionality either used for my part or in hybrid structures with graphite, metal oxides, and conductive polymers. Despite these benefits, several challenges hinder the large-scale software of CNTs. These encompass high manufacturing costs, poor dispersion in composites, weak interfacial bonding with energetic materials, and aggregation for the duration of fabrication, which adversely influences electrochemical overall performance and reproducibility. To triumph over those barriers, researchers are employing scalable and eco-friendly synthesis strategies, consisting of optimized chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and refining post-treatment approaches to improve purity and shape. Surface functionalization—each covalent and non-covalent improves compatibility with different materials, even as hybridization techniques beautify electrical pathways and structural integrity. Recent advances in CNT-based composites show their ability to suppress polysulfide shuttling in Li–S structures, boost electrolyte accessibility in bendy super capacitors, and increase mechanical and electrochemical stability beneath high-performance conditions. The use of 3D CNT frameworks and vertically aligned nanotube arrays has enabled the improvement of high-loading, binder-unfastened electrodes with superior ion accessibility. Additionally, CNTs display strong compatibility with emerging stable-nation and gel-based electrolytes, beginning new paths toward compact, safer strength devices.

Digital Literacy is one of the core competencies in the new Competency Based Curriculum (CBC), it enhances quality and standard of education and therefore intends to help learners achieve their potential both in school and in life. Despite the Kenyan government efforts to achieve one child one laptop (1:1) by 2030, its implementation process in public primary schools in Rongo Sub-County has been met with managerial challenges which has widened the digital and knowledge divides between Kenya and other developed countries in the world. The study primarily explored administrative challenges in the implementation of digital learning in public primary schools in Rongo Sub-County, Kenya. The study was guided by the Technology, Organization and Environment (TOE) model theory. The study employed descriptive survey design with a target population of 199 public primary schools. The study was carried out among 60 sampled public primary schools using a simple random sampling procedure. The study used questionnaires and interview schedules to get information from the respondents. The input of the supervisors was vital in developing and ascertaining the validity of the research instruments. A pilot study was carried out in three randomly selected schools with three headteachers, three deputy headteachers and three grade one class teachers in neighboring sub counties with the same characteristics as the sampled schools. Test-retest technique was used to get a reliability of 0.78, 0.70 and 0.72 for headteachers, deputy headteachers and grade one class teachers respectively. The questionnaires were distributed to headteachers, deputy headteachers and grade one class teachers. The collected data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS Version 21.0) Windows. The findings were presented using frequency tables, mean, percentages, pie charts and bar graphs. The findings of the study showed that 63.6% (61) of headteachers and deputy head teachers agreed that the government did not allocate enough resources to schools towards the implementation of digital literacy while 67.7% (65) of them said that the available primary curriculum did not support digital literacy in schools. The study concluded that managerial challenges such as administrative challenges, were still major challenges affecting the implementation of digital learning in public primary schools in Rongo Sub- County. The study recommended that the government should uniformly provide ICT resources to all public primary schools. The results of this study are useful in the current implementation of CBC and digital learning in Kenya and beyond. The researcher adhered to research ethical considerations.
