 Abstract

The present research focuses on the formulation and evaluation of an herbal cream incorporating Moringa oleifera leaf extract, known for its rich antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. Moringa oleifera, often referred to as the "miracle tree," contains bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, phenolics that are beneficial for skin health. The extract was obtained using alcoholic extraction, and a cream base was formulated using suitable emulsifiers and stabilizers. Various concentrations of the Moringa extract were incorporated to determine the most effective formulation. The cream was evaluated for physicochemical properties including pH, viscosity, spreadability, stability, and skin irritation potential. The optimized formulation demonstrated good stability, non-irritant properties, and significant antioxidant and antimicrobial effects. This study supports the potential of Moringa oleifera as a natural, effective, and safe ingredient in herbal cosmetic formulations aimed at improving skin health.

 Abstract

Dragon fruit (Hylocereus spp.), a tropical and subtropical fruit belonging to the Cactaceae family, has gained significant attention due to its rich nutritional profile and various therapeutic properties. This review highlights its taxonomy, morphology, origin, distribution, and chemical composition. Dragon fruit is a valuable source of essential nutrients including vitamins (notably vitamin C, B-complex), minerals (calcium, iron, phosphorus), amino acids, organic acids, and dietary fiber. Its pulp and peel contain beneficial phytochemicals such as flavonoids, polyphenols, betacyanins, and antioxidants, which contribute to its therapeutic effects. The fruit exhibits several pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-cancer, anti-Parkinson's, hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, laxative, anti-obesity, and wound-healing effects. It has also been reported to aid in cholesterol regulation, digestive health, and immune system enhancement. The seeds and skin are rich in essential fatty acids like linoleic, oleic, and palmitic acids, which further add to its health benefits. Due to these attributes, dragon fruit holds significant promise as a functional food and nutraceutical agent in modern health management. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the nutritional and therapeutic significance of Hylocereus spp. based on recent scientific findings.

 Abstract

Abstract: Toni Morrison's Beloved asks that question: what does freedom look like when its possibilities are behind closed doors, on neglected porches, shrouded in moonlit hallways? The book, which takes place after the American Civil War, explores the hard and long-lasting emotional scar that slavery causes -- not only on the body but also the mind and spirit. Instead of portraying slavery as an issue of physical violence, Morrison shows its effect on the human psyche, its rupture of kinship and its deformation of the sense of self. Sethe's history as an enslaved woman of Sweet Home is a horrific past that lingers with her, in freedom. So she determined to shield her children from the horrors of returning to a life of slavery that she does the unthinkable, she kills her own daughter. "The madness will not be in his, Ahab's, but in the system." This is not madness but a system that is not so much cruel as makes death a better option than continued slavery. In doing so, Morrison demonstrates how slavery works to disable a person's ability to trust, love, and decide. A spirit of Sethe's dead daughter, who returns as the enigmatic figure Beloved, represents imprisoned trauma and unhealed anguish. The return of Beloved makes Sethe remember (in defiance of her best attempts to forget) her past, showing how violence and abuse and oppression and slavery continue to live inside the heads of the freed. By cantering the story on the interior lives of former enslaved people, Morrison speaks their suffering and perseverance, and reminds us that the end of slavery was not the end of its long reach. Beloved appears as a testament to the enduring psychological wounds left by an inhumane system. Key Words: Psychological, emotional, trauma, madness, mysterious.

 Abstract

In a rapidly evolving democracy like India, the effectiveness of political leadership is central to national progress. While the Constitution of India grants broad eligibility for political office, including minimal restrictions on education and background, increasing public concern over criminalization, dynastic politics, and lack of administrative knowledge among leaders necessitates a re-evaluation. This paper examines the current eligibility framework, contrasts it with global practices, and argues for a paradigm shift that prioritizes capability, integrity, and public accountability in Indian politics.
