Abstract
Acorus calamus Linn. also known as Vacha is one of the oldest herbs with creeping rhizome in Indian traditional system and has been used as laxative, diuretic, antioxidant, antimicrobial. The present study was carried out to investigate morphological, microscopical, physicochemical and phytochemical screening of Acorus calamus rhizome and powder. Morphological studies showed the presence of various diagnostic characters. In the microscopical studies, t.s. showed the presence of epidermis ,cortex,,fibrovascular bundle, endodermis contain parenchymatous cells and vascular bundle and powder of drug shows vessels with starch grain. Ash value, extractive value, foreign organic matter,moisture content and TLC were determined for quality standard of drugs. Phytochemical investigation shows the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrate, glycoside,, phenolic compounds and tannins. The result of the study could be useful for identification and preparation of monograph of the plant.

Abstract
Sunscreens are chemicals that provide protection against the adverse effects of solar and in particular UV radiation. In this present study UV absorption ability of flowers evaluated from flowers of Thunburgia alata Linn, Abutilon indicum Linn. Extracts were prepared by maceration with a mixture of distilled water and methanol (1:1). The method is performed by UV spectrophotomety in the range of 200 to 400 nm and results of all the extracts shows effective UV absorption in the given range.
Control the Arterial Mean Blood Pressure in Patient Monitoring System by Predictive Regulator
Authors: Nirmalya Chandra, Dr. Achintya Das
Abstract
Continuity in patient monitoring systems during the anaesthesia of Arterial Mean Blood Pressure is the crucial obligation for an anaesthetist. This medic assessing system is delusional due to the effect of various types of external and internal parameters. The evaluation of the assessment of Arterial Mean Blood pressure is trustworthy anaesthesia for an anaesthetist. The stability of the blood pressure of a patient body is affected before or after the surgical condition of the patient by the surgical disturbance excitation. In this article, we embedded a new technique applying a predictive regulator before the controller. The exploration of this regulator has reduced the deviation in between the predictive value of the feedback path and the referenced desired input so as to the system outcomes would follow the desired optimized trajectory.
A Study on Barriers of Social Participation Among Disabled Youth and Social Worker Intervention
Author: Dr. Balamani V
Abstract
Disability is the consequence of an impairment that may be physical, cognitive, mental, sensory, emotional, developmental, or some combination of these. A disability may be present from birth, or occur during a person's lifetime. There is an evidence of a consistent negative representation of impairment and disability, prior to the emergence of modern capitalism. These earlier representations run in three main themes: Cultural Understanding, Religious Belief and Myth. The Social Representations of disability were negative `It is a common myth that impairment is a punishment for sin. Killing of babies with impairments was common practice in societies. The disabled had difficulty in asserting their rights and dignity as an individual. They lack physical and intellectual fitness which in turn hurdle their participation in this world. They were physically, psychologically and verbally abused because of their impairments. For people with hidden impairments, life was harsh and unrelenting one. It is also recorded that people of small stature or ‘dwarves’ were treated as the objects of amusement by the crowd. Despite the introduction of the Disability Discrimination Act and evolving of humanity, there are still many strong discriminatory barriers facing disabled people in society. Disabled people continue to be more likely to live in poverty and lie outside the usual economic framework of everyday employment. The fundamental assumption that disabled people need to live on benefit and are in need of care distorts their real value. The marginalization of people with disabilities has often been addressed in terms of sociological processes or legislative needs, but very rarely in psychological terms within society. It is also intriguing that children with born impairments were systematically removed from society. This reflects some present-day law about termination of impaired fetuses. This is not to undermine a woman’s right to choose, which is essential. However, it is worthy of note that impairment is singled out as a special case. It is often the case that potential parents of disabled children are given the most negative prognosis and life scenario. This makes the decision-making process rather biased. It was also clear that many parents were told that their child would not be able to achieve an independent lifestyle or have a good quality of life and this lead to termination of pregnancy. This paper attempted to give a view about the challenges faced by disabled youth in social participation.
