 Abstract

The landscape of higher education is increasingly defined by complex moral and ethical challenges. This quantitative study investigates the moral dilemmas faced by university students in Lucknow, focusing specifically on the impact of educational level (undergraduate versus postgraduate) and residential status (hosteller versus day scholar). Recognizing a critical gap in contemporary moral education, this research aims to systematically measure ethical decision-making patterns. A descriptive survey method was utilized, selecting a sample of 200 students from Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University using a simple random sampling technique. Data was collected via the self-constructed University Student Moral Dilemma Scale (USMDS), which measures 70 situational statements across three dimensions: Academic & Digital Integrity, Societal & Professional Responsibility, and Interpersonal Relations. Statistical analysis, employing Mean, Standard Deviation, and independent t-tests, revealed no significant differences in moral dilemmas based on educational level across all three dimensions. However, while residential status did not significantly impact Academic & Digital Integrity, hostellers demonstrated a significantly higher degree of Societal & Professional Responsibility and Interpersonal Relations compared to day scholars. These findings suggest that the independent living environment of hostels fosters distinct social and interpersonal ethical frameworks. The study provides vital educational implications for curriculum planners and administrators to integrate targeted moral education interventions tailored to the contextual realities of student life.

 Abstract

Science media has emerged as an important agent of social transformation in the making of Viksit Bharat 2047. As a social institution, media shapes values, attitudes, and behaviour by spreading scientific knowledge through newspapers, television, digital platforms, and community radio. This paper examines the role of science media in national development and analyzes its sociological impact on public awareness, modernization, and behavioural change. Campaigns such as Pulse Polio, COVID-19 vaccination drives, Swachh Bharat, and Digital India illustrate how science communication has influenced health practices, sanitation habits, digital literacy, and acceptance of innovation. From a sociological perspective, science media supports modernization by encouraging rational thinking and scientific temper. At the same time, unequal access to information reflects existing social inequalities based on class, caste, gender, and the rural-urban divide. Marginalized communities often remain excluded due to illiteracy, poor internet connectivity, and language barriers. The spread of misinformation through social media also weakens trust in science and public institutions. The paper further highlights the need for inclusive strategies such as regional-language content, community participation, digital access, and media literacy programmes to make science communication more democratic and effective. It argues that strengthening science media can reduce knowledge gaps, empower citizens, and accelerate equitable development. Therefore, science media is not only a source of information but a concrete sociological force essential for achieving the vision of a modern, inclusive, and developed Viksit Bharat 2047.

 Abstract

The rapid growth of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and decentralized applications has increased the demand for secure and low-latency computing systems. Blockchain technology provides transparency, trust, and decentralized security, while edge computing improves performance by processing data closer to the source. This paper presents a systematic review of blockchain-enabled edge computing systems and discusses their applications, advantages, and implementation challenges. The paper highlights scalability, latency reduction, and secure communication in distributed environments. A valid contribution of this study is the presentation of a simplified integrated framework that supports secure communication between edge devices using blockchain mechanisms. The study also explains the role of Ethereum smart contracts in edge environments and identifies future research opportunities for lightweight and scalable architectures.

 Abstract

This paper examines the development of modern Indian English poetry with special reference to Nissim Ezekiel and his contribution to literary modernism in postcolonial India. Early Indian English poetry was largely influenced by British Romantic and Victorian traditions, focusing on idealism, mythology, and nationalism. However, after independence, Indian English poetry gradually shifted towards realism, urban consciousness, psychological conflict, and social criticism. In this transition, Ezekiel emerged as a major modernist voice who introduced intellectual discipline, irony, realism, and conversational language into Indian English poetry. His poems portray urban middle-class life, cultural confusion, emotional isolation, and social contradictions with honesty and satire. Through works such as Night of the Scorpion, The Patriot, and Goodbye Party for Miss Pushpa T.S., Ezekiel presents realistic aspects of contemporary Indian society. The paper also highlights the difference between romantic Indian English poets and Ezekiel's modernist approach. It concludes that Ezekiel played a significant role in establishing Indian English poetry as a mature and internationally recognised literary tradition.

 Abstract

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), particularly in the neck and shoulder, are common occupational issues among dental professionals due to prolonged static postures and repetitive movements. Shoulder pain is frequently reported and may impact both performance and well-being. Handgrip strength serves as a reliable indicator of upper limb function and musculoskeletal health. AIM: The aim of the study was to observe the correlation between the shoulder pain upper limb musculoskeletal disorder and handgrip strength among dental professionals. METHOD: An observational study was conducted involving 100 dental professionals (50 males and 50 females) with an average age of 35 years. Participants completed a structured questionnaire to assess the presence of shoulder pain and upper limb MSDs, followed by handgrip strength testing using a dynamometer. Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were used for data evaluation. RESULTS: Improving grip strength may help workers adopt better postures, reducing musculoskeletal injury risk, and also alleviate shoulder pain and disability. Strengthening hand and forearm muscles can enhance overall upper body function, reducing strain on the shoulder joint and leading to improved outcomes. CONCLUSION: This study found that dental professionals with weaker grip strength tend to experience more shoulder pain and disability due to postural instability. Therefore, exercises that strengthen the hand, forearm, and upper body muscles may help improve functional capacity and reduce discomfort.

 Abstract

The present research work was an attempt to design a formulation of Bilayer floating tablets with Teneligliptin as sustained release layer and evogliptin as immediate release layer for the treatment of type II diabetes mellitus. The extended release was prepared by wet granulation method using HPMC K 100M as sustained release polymer and sodium bicarbonate as gas generating agent to reduce floating lag time. Immediate release layer was prepared by direct compression using sodium starch glycolate as super disintegrant. Gastro retentive floating drug delivery systems have been designed to increase its residence time in the stomach. The granules were evaluated for bulk density, tapped density, Compressibility index, and hausner's ratio. The granules showed satisfactory flow properties. The tablets were subjected to weight variation test, hardness test, friability test, drug content test and swelling index. All the tablets were passed the tests. With the incorporation of a gas generating agent the floating lag time was 27 sec, and the duration of floating was >8hrs. The drug release from the prepared tablets was sufficiently sustained (more than 8hrs). The release kinetics of the Bilayer floating tablet was evaluated using regression coefficient analysis. The formulated tablets show a Zero order drug release and the mechanism is correlated well with Korsmeyer peppas mode with super case II transport mechanism. Stability studies did not show any changes in physical appearance, physicochemical properties, and drug release.
