In Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs), efficient and reliable routing is a significant challenge due to dynamic topologies, node mobility, and the potential presence of malicious or uncooperative nodes. This paper presents a Reputation-Based Opportunities Routing Protocol using Q-learning (RORQ), a novel approach that combines reputation systems with reinforcement learning to enhance the routing decision-making process. The protocol assigns reputation scores to nodes based on their past behavior, such as successful packet forwarding or malicious activity, and uses these scores to inform routing decisions. Each node learns optimal routing paths through Q-learning, where the state is defined by network conditions and node reputations, and actions correspond to choosing routing paths. The Q-learning algorithm continuously updates the routing policy by maximizing the cumulative reward, which is based on successful data delivery and node cooperation. The proposed method dynamically adjusts to changing network conditions, ensuring both the efficiency of data transmission and the trustworthiness of routes, thereby mitigating the impact of unreliable or malicious nodes. Simulation results demonstrate that the RORQ protocol improves packet delivery ratios, reduces the impact of malicious nodes, and enhances overall network performance compared to traditional routing protocols in MANETs.

 Abstract

The present study compares the antimitotic activity of Annona squamosa leaf extract to Methotrexate utilising a fenugreek seed germination experiment. The inhibition of root elongation was employed to detect inhibited cell division. Phytochemical screening of the extract revealed the presence of biologically active substances such as alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and glycosides. Methotrexate and Annona squamosa extract slowed root development in a dose-dependent manner. Although methotrexate showed greater inhibition, the extract also had significant antimitotic effects, particularly at higher dosages. These findings indicate that Annona squamosa has significant potential as a natural source of antimitotic drugs.

The global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented disruptions to all sectors, with education being among the most affected. As traditional classroom learning became impossible during lockdowns, educational institutions rapidly transitioned to online platforms to ensure continuity in learning. This study explores the role and effectiveness of Microsoft PowerPoint as a teaching aid during this transition, focusing specifically on students of Class VII in an English medium SSC school in Mumbai. The research aimed to assess how PowerPoint presentations impacted students' understanding and engagement in online classes and to identify challenges encountered during their use. Adopting a descriptive research design and using a questionnaire as the primary data collection tool, the study gathered insights from students through convenience sampling. Findings indicated that the majority of students found PowerPoint presentations helpful in enhancing their learning experience due to their interactive and visually engaging format. However, a small number of students faced issues such as difficulty concentrating and screen fatigue. The study concludes that Microsoft PowerPoint served as an effective ICT tool in online education, although its success depended on students' adaptability and access to digital resources. The research underscores the importance of integrating varied digital tools in the curriculum and recommends further exploration of ICT effectiveness across different educational boards and inclusive settings

Trivrut as per season: Trivrut kalpas refer to Ayurvedic medicinal preparations, or formulations, based on the Turpeth root plant, also known as Operculina turpethum. These formulations are widely used in Ayurveda for various health conditions, particularly for their purgative and cleansing properties. Ayurvedic texts like the Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and Astanga Hridaya mention Trivrut and its various uses. A concept in Ayurveda that focuses on the proper preparation, dosage, and administration of medicinal preparations, including those involving Trivrut. Some Trivrut kalpas are designed for use in specific seasons, reflecting the principles of seasonal Ayurveda. So this article focuses on Trivrut as per season

 Abstract

The increasing population of stray animals poses significant challenges, including inadequate healthcare, lack of shelter, and low adoption rates. Pet Adoption and Rescue is an innovative web-based platform designed to bridge the gap between individuals who find stray animals and rescue organizations, volunteers, and potential adopters. The platform provides an Instagram-style reporting interface, allowing users to report stray animals with images, location details, and health status. Additionally, it features a categorized adoption feed with pet profiles, an interactive three-stage adoption process, and a location-based search for nearby pets and shelters. To enhance rescue efforts, the system integrates volunteer registration, donation modules, and real-time notifications. By leveraging technology, this project aims to streamline pet adoption, improve rescue efficiency, and increase community engagement. The implementation of this platform is expected to enhance the adoption process, reduce shelter overcrowding, and promote responsible pet ownership.

The main objectives of the study were test the effect of straw drinking in reducing thirst distress among patients undergoing hemodialysis, test the effect of mouth wash in reducing thirst distress among patients undergoing hemodialysis, test the effect of straw drinking on interdialytic weight gain among patients undergoing hemodialysis, test the effect of mouth wash on interdialytic weight gain among patients undergoing hemodialysis, compare the effect of straw drinking and effect of mouth washes in reducing thirst distress, compare the effect of straw drinking and effect of mouth washes in reducing interdialytic weight gain and to determine the correlation between thirst distress and interdialytic weight gain among patients undergoing hemodialysis. Experimental cross over design was adopted with a sample size of 90. The tools used were personal and clinical data sheet, thirst distress scale and calibrated weighing machine. The subjects were randomly grouped into two, a coin was tossed to decide which intervention has to be given first to the subjects in Group A. Subjects in Group A received frequent mouth wash as first intervention followed by straw drinking, group B received the straw drinking as the 1st intervention followed by mouthwash. They followed each intervention for 5 days. The post test to assess the thirst distress and interdialytic weight gain were done during 2 consecutive dialysis after each intervention. Both the intervention had a significant impact on thirst distress and interdialytic weight gain. And while comparing both intervention mouth wash was better intervention which was accepted by majority of the subjects. There is a weak positive correlation exist between thirst distress and interdialytic weight gain.
