 Abstract

"In this study, we aimed to formulate and evaluate the antifungal properties of herbal hair products. We selected a combination of specific herbs known for their potential antifungal effects. Through in vitro testing, we assessed the efficacy of these herbal formulations against common fungal strains that affect the scalp. Our findings provide valuable insights into the potential use of herbal ingredients in combating fungal infections and promoting healthy hair. Further research in this area could lead to the development of natural and effective solutions for hair care. "One possible source of naturally occurring antimicrobials is plant essential oils. Recently, there has been a significant increase in interest from scientists on essential oils and extracts derived from a variety of plants. While the safety of chemical additives has been questioned, consumer desire for natural preservatives has surged. There have been reports of antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antiparasitic, and antidermatophytic qualities in the plant oil. It is today regarded as a valuable source of natural ingredients for the creation of industrial products as well as medications to treat a variety of illnesses.

 Abstract

Herbal and ayurvedic medications have gained international attention throughout the last ten years, with both financial and medical consequences. The globe over, there are now more legitimate worries about the effectiveness, safety, and quality of herbs due to their frequent and extensive use. Paederiafoetida, a member of the Rubiaceae family and locally referred to as "Gandhavadulia" (English:"skunkvine"), has a wide range of pharmacological and phytochemical significance. As a result, valid scientific proof or evaluation is now required in order for herbal health claims to be accepted. This review examines the pharmacognostic, phytochemical, pharmacological, and prospective features of this plant in addition to the conventional knowledge.Humans have been using nature's resources for ages to find novel phytoconstituents that have been used to treat a wide range of illnesses. Many of these treatments are still effective in contemporary medicine. Emerging data also points to the need for ongoing research into using naturally occurring active molecules to treat human diseases, as well as the need to find innovative, active natural and semisynthetic or synthetic substances.

 Abstract

An evaluation was conducted on the foundry properties of selected Nigerian Bentonite Clays to address the demand in foundry, steel, and metallurgical industries, as well as future industrial development. Samples were collected from six locations in four states of Nigeria, with five different points sampled from each location for investigation. Using the cone and quartering technique, the samples were homogenized to obtain representative samples, which were then subjected to tests to determine their foundry properties.The chemical composition of the raw samples was compared favorably with Bomu, Amake, and Yobe bentonite clay deposits in Nigeria, as well as Wyoming bentonite in the USA. Based on the CaO content in their chemical composition, the clay samples were classified as calcium-based Bentonite clay. The cation exchange capacity of Samples A (83.973) and E (72.453) fell within the standard value range (70-120) for Montmorillonite. Conversely, Samples B (60.977), C (55.14), D (65.405), and F (62.289) slightly fell below the standard value range for Montmorillonite. However, these results still indicated that the samples are suitable for applications in the foundry industry, as they compared well with values (64-105) for Wyoming bentonite.The pH values of samples A, B, C, E, and F indicated that they are basic clays, while sample D is an acidic clay. Based on these findings, the clay samples are deemed suitable for application in the foundry industry and can be used for commercial sand casting. It is recommended to conduct further investigations into the selected Bentonite samples for other industrial applications. Additionally, exploring Bentonite clay deposits in other parts of Nigeria where research is lacking would be beneficial in determining their properties and usefulness as binding agents in the foundry industry, thereby contributing to the sustainability of our economy and industrial growth.

 Abstract

The present study was conducted to study the level of awareness among female law students towards the fundamental rights of constitution of India. For this study a sample of 100 female students from three law colleges of Jammu were selected. The data was collected with the help of self constructed questionnaire and was analyzed using percentage statistical technique. This study has concluded that all majorities of law students had a full knowledge regarding the fundamental rights of Indian constitution but still there is a need to create awareness among the students in order to make them more sensitive as well as defensive regarding fundamental rights.

 Abstract

In the unstable terrain of displacement, refugees are continually confronted with instability, a desire to belong, and the emotional burden of being uprooted. This article explores Abdulrazak Gurnah's and Caryl Phillips' complex portraits of migrants in postcolonial literature. By methodically analyzing chosen novels such as Gurnah's By the Sea and Desertion, as well as Phillips' Crossing the River and Higher Ground, the study investigates the various vulnerabilities that constitute the refugee experience. Gurnah's evocative narratives, rooted in the colonial past, reveal the fears and precarious lives of immigrants faced with a new world. C Caryl Phillips, on the other hand, takes a larger approach, weaving together the stories of persons from many backgrounds to reveal the universality of displacement while also acknowledging its various forms. By examining how the writers use literary strategies to create empathy and understanding for their characters, the paper provides light on the emotional anguish, ongoing negotiation of identity, and need for belonging that define the refugee experience. It believes that the accounts not only illustrate refugees' ongoing struggles, but also encourage readers to recognise their humanity and confront the complexities of displacement in contemporary society.
