Abstract: Nanoparticulate drug delivery systems have gained considerable attention for improving the therapeutic efficacy of poorly soluble anticancer drugs through controlled and targeted delivery. The present study aimed to formulate and characterize Docetaxel-loaded nanoparticles using Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) as a biodegradable carrier polymer. Nanoparticles were prepared by nanoprecipitation using optimized drug-to-polymer ratio and stabilizer concentration. The formulations were evaluated for particle size, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency, drug loading, and in-vitro drug release. FT-IR spectroscopy confirmed compatibility between drug and polymer, while zeta potential analysis indicated good colloidal stability. In-vitro release studies demonstrated sustained release of Docetaxel over an extended period. Kinetic analysis using zero-order, first-order, Higuchi, and Korsmeyer–Peppas models suggested a controlled drug release pattern predominantly governed by diffusion. The findings indicate that PLGA-based Docetaxel nanoparticles are a promising approach for targeted anticancer drug delivery with potential to enhance therapeutic efficacy and reduce systemic toxicity. Further in-vivo studies are recommended to confirm clinical applicability.

Abstract: Public safety in public areas has become a significant concern for governments and businesses globally. Video surveillance systems are being increasingly integrated to ensure public safety, with deep learning techniques enhancing their ability to detect potential threats. Traditional video surveillance often relies on passive monitoring, but with advancements in AI, surveillance systems can now actively detect risks such as weapons (guns and knives) in real- time. This paper presents a deep learning-based system for weapon detection using MobileNet- V2, a CNN model known for its computational efficiency. MobileNet-V2 has shown an improvement of approximately 35% in processing speed compared to its predecessor, MobileNet-V1, while maintaining similar accuracy levels. This increase in speed is crucial for real-time weapon detection, where quick identification and response are vital to preventing threats. The study compares two approaches to weapon detection using CNNs, evaluating MobileNet-V1 and MobileNet-V2. The results indicate that MobileNet-V2 outperforms MobileNet-V1 not only in terms of speed but also in its ability to maintain high accuracy, marking a significant advancement in the field of weapon detection through deep learning. These improvements are vital in practical applications, such as public spaces, where large amounts of video data must be processed rapidly. The proposed system demonstrates a clear enhancement over prior methods in detecting guns and knives, offering a reliable, fast solution for real-time surveillance. This research highlights the effectiveness of MobileNet-V2 in improving public safety through advanced AI technology, providing a scalable solution for detecting threats in urban environments.

Ayurveda: An Integrated Framework For Sustainable Health And Ecosystem Balance

Uncategorized

Authors: Shivani, Prof. Seema Kohli

Abstract: Ayurveda is an ancient Indian system of medicine that explains health as a dynamic balance between the body, mind, and the natural environment. According to Ayurvedic philosophy, human life is deeply interconnected with environmental elements such as air, water, land, vegetation, and climate. In the present era, environmental science highlights growing concerns including pollution, climate change, deforestation, and biodiversity loss, all of which pose serious threats to both ecological stability and human health. These challenges emphasize the urgent need for sustainable and preventive approaches to healthcare and environmental protection. Ayurvedic concepts such as Panchamahabhuta (five fundamental elements), Ritucharya (seasonal regimen), and Desha (influence of geographical and environmental factors) explain how changes in the environment directly affect human health and disease patterns. Seasonal variations, climatic conditions, and ecological imbalance play a crucial role in disturbing bodily harmony, leading to the development of various disorders. These principles closely align with environmental science, which also focuses on maintaining ecological balance for healthy living. This paper aims to correlate Ayurvedic principles with environmental science to develop an integrated framework for sustainable healthcare and ecosystem conservation. The study is based on a review of classicalAyurvedic texts, current environmental challenges, and modern scientific research related to medicinal plants, pollution, and ecosystem health. Integrating traditional Ayurvedic knowledge with modern environmental management offers a holistic approach to disease prevention, health promotion, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development.

Uncategorized

Authors: Gourani Shruthi, K. Someshwar

Abstract: This study focuses on the formulation and characterization of water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) multiple emulsions of Azilsartan Medoxomil to enhance its solubility, stability, and oral drug delivery performance. A total of nine formulations (AZL1–AZL9) were developed using Span 20, Span 40, and Span 80 at varying concentrations as primary emulsifiers, while Tween 80 was employed as the secondary emulsifier. The prepared multiple emulsions were evaluated for various physicochemical and morphological parameters including visual appearance, organoleptic properties, microscopic examination, globule size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, viscosity, pH, conductivity, drug content, entrapment efficiency, in vitro drug release, and stability studies. Among all formulations, AZL6 exhibited superior characteristics with a mean globule size of 2.6 μm, uniform droplet distribution, high entrapment efficiency of 98.2 ± 1.1%, optimum viscosity, and cumulative drug release of 94.3% over 12 hours. The formulation also demonstrated good colloidal stability with a zeta potential value of −29.5 mV. Drug release kinetic studies revealed that the optimized formulation followed the Higuchi diffusion model and Super Case II transport mechanism, indicating both diffusion- and erosion-controlled release behavior. Furthermore, post-formulation stability studies, including centrifugation stress testing, confirmed the physical stability of the emulsion system. The findings of this investigation suggest that multiple emulsions represent a promising and effective delivery approach for poorly water-soluble drugs such as Azilsartan Medoxomil, with potential to improve oral bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy.
