Adolescents and young adults are now facing mounting emotional distress and mood instability, thus reviving academic interest in integrative meditation. The current study focused on the impact of 30 days Pragya Yoga intervention on the psychological well-being of young adults aged between 18 and 25 years. Simple random sampling was used to distribute 83 respondents (37 male, 46 females) into experimental and control groups. The experimental group were subject to systematic Pragya Yoga program involving asanas, pranayama, meditation, relaxation, and self-reflection, but the control group got nothing. The grading of psychological well-being was done through the PGI General Well-Being Measure that was pre-intervention and post-intervention. The findings showed statistically significant improvements in the well-being of the yoga group. There was an increase of 25.6 to 28.6 with a large effect size (d=1.398) in the male participants. There was an improvement of female participants (25.4 to 27.2 with a moderate-large effect size (d=0.768). The standard deviations were declining across the genders, resulting more emotionally stable after the intervention. The control cohort was exhibited insignificant improvement and thus supporting specificity of the practice. Overall, the results indicate that Pragya Yoga produces significant improvements of emotional regulation, self-image, and well-being providing a viable and culture-specific mental-health source to young adults.

Quality and longer vase life are the most important factors in cut flowers, while chemicals are the reliable ones for enhancing both. To prevent chemical usage, the study was undertaken to evaluate biostimulants for enhancing the vase life of cut flowers. Eleven different treatment combinations of bio-stimulants were used in this experiment to study their effect in enhancing the vase life of chrysanthemum, where extracts of aloe vera, Ocimum gratissimum leaves, lemon juice, Mentha piperita leaves and Moringa olerifera leaves were used at 2 % and 4 % concentration along with 2 % sucrose. The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design replicated thrice and in each treatment, 10 flowers were used. Chrysanthemum var. Snowball was used in this experiment. Lemon juice at 4 % + Sucrose 2 % (B7) recorded the maximum vase life (14.94, 15.15 and 15.05 days was observed in B7 in Y1, Y2 and pooled respectively), the best antimicrobial activity by recording the minimum count of microbial colonies (43.33 × 104, 56.67 × 104 and 50.00 × 104 CFU/mL in B7 in Y1, Y2 and pooled respectively), maximum total vase solution uptake (15.76 and 15.53 g in B7 in Y1 and pooled respectively) of chrysanthemum var. Snowball during the post-harvest period. A correlation study demonstrated that maintaining an acidic vase solution helped in suppressing microbial growth and this combined effect enhanced a longer vase life. From the study, it could be recommended that lemon juice at 4 % + sucrose 2 % effectively enhanced the post-harvest life of chrysanthemum.

BackgroundPersonnel in the armed forces experience high levels of stress, danger, and trauma that can adversely impact their mental and emotional health. The armed forces organisations must prioritise preventive and proactive measures to improve the mental and emotional health of their personnel. Improving the psychological immunity of the armed forces personnel will help them handle the stress they experience daily and enhance their life satisfaction. The main objectives of this study were to assess the effects of a yoga-based intervention program on psychological immunity and life satisfaction among active armed forces personnel in India and to study the relationship between psychological immunity and life satisfaction.MethodsA pre-test-post-test control group design was adopted for the study. We have screened 50 samples for this study, and 42 (Mage 33.62 ± 4.12) were selected. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups: control and intervention. Psycho-Immunity Scale (PIS) and Life Satisfaction Scale (LSS) were used to assess the participants' psychological immunity and life satisfaction, respectively. A yoga intervention was provided to the yoga group, comprising pragyayogasana (Pragyayogasana is a series of 16 asanas which must be performed in the mentioned sequence for physical, mental, and spiritual well-being), pranayama (mindful and controlled breathing), and meditation, administered six days a week for one month.ResultsA significant enhancement in psychological immunity (p < 0.01) and life satisfaction (p < 0.01) was observed in the yoga group. Also, a substantial improvement in all the components of psychological immunity, viz., self-confidence (p < 0.01), total adjustment (p < 0.01), emotional maturity (p < 0.01), and psychological well-being (p < 0.01), was found in the yoga group. In contrast, no such difference was obtained in the control group. Also, a significant positive correlation was found between total adjustment and life satisfaction (r = .32).ConclusionThese results revealed that the yoga-based intervention program significantly enhanced the armed forces personnel's psychological immunity and life satisfaction. Results also suggest promising implications for policymakers aimed at improving armed forces personnel’s overall health and optimal functioning.Trial registrationThis study was registered at the Institute Ethics Committee-National Institute of Technology Rourkela, India (IEC-NIT Rourkela).

Analysis of data on 10 characters on 61 wheat genotypes. The characters days to maturity, Number of grains per spike, grain weight per spike and 1000 grain weight showed significant and positive association with grain yield. Path coefficient analysis revealed thatdays to 50% flowering, no. of tillers per plant, days to maturity and 1000 grain weight per ear were the important yield contributing characters. Other characters have indirect influence on yield through rest correlated characters. Correlation coefficient which provides the nature and degree of association of various pairs of characters is considered useful for making effective selection that practiced for the improvement of yield. Path coefficient indicates the relative importance of each component (Write, 1921, Dewey andLul, 1959, Tyagi et al., 1988). Path coefficient analysis is an efficient statistical technique specially designed to quantify the inter relationship of different components and their direct and indirect effects on seed yield. Through this technique yield contributingcharacters can be ranked and specific traits producing a given correlation can be considered accordingly (Rao et al., 1991).

Yagya Therapy (Yagyopathy) represents an ancient Indian practice that integrates spiritual, environmental, and physiological elements into a holistic therapeutic framework. This study describes the method and application of Yagyopathy for the management of various diseases, based on about one and a half decade of practice at the Department of Ayurveda and Holistic Health, Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya (DSVV), Haridwar. Yagyopathy utilizes herbal formulations (havan samagri) transformed into medicinal fumes through ritual fire offerings. These are inhaled during deep breathing and mantra chanting, enabling efficient pulmonary drug delivery while simultaneously offering psychological and spiritual benefits. Scriptural references, particularly from the Vedas, support the daily performance of Yagya for mental, environmental, and physical purification. At Department of Ayurveda and Holistic Health, Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya, patients are prescribed a home-based Yagya protocol that includes disease-specific herbal formulations, lifestyle modifications, and other Ayurvedic interventions. Observational insights and follow-up data, including clinical, pathological, and patient-reported outcomes, indicate therapeutic potential across a range of diseases—such as respiratory, metabolic, psychological, and autoimmune conditions. Case studies and large-scale usage data further demonstrate the growing application and acceptance of Yagyopathy both within India and internationally. With its emphasis on the synergy between body, mind, and environment, Yagya Therapy offers a promising complementary modality in contemporary integrative healthcare.

The vibration, damping, and buckling behavior of graphene-reinforced sandwich beams are investigated in this work. The honeycomb sandwich beam is composed of graphene-reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite skins and a GFRP strip-reinforced honeycomb core. The governing equations are developed by using the finite element formulation along with the higher-order beam theory (HOBT). A significant degree of agreement is found when comparing numerical results to accessible literature. Additionally, this work examines the effects of graphene reinforcement, GFRP honeycomb core thickness, graphene-reinforced GFRP skin layer thickness, and end conditions on the vibration, damping, and buckling behavior of honeycomb sandwich beams. The sandwich beam with graphene-reinforced skins outperforms the neat sandwich beam in terms of natural frequency, damping, and buckling, with improvements of 8.04%, 10.56%, and 18.29%, respectively. The lightweight GFRP honeycomb core, combined with the advanced graphene-reinforced composite face sheets, offers interesting applications and further research.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is supporting advances in healthcare diagnosis, treatment, and patient care through the application of machine learning techniques, which is causing a revolution in the sector. Artificial intelligence's (AI) revolutionary impact on healthcare is explored in this research. Machine learning algorithms are changing traditional medical practices and improving patient outcomes; this is the main emphasis of the research. Artificial intelligence algorithms can analyse large amounts of medical data, including EHRs, MRIs, and genetic information, to spot patterns, find outliers, and provide tailored insights to doctors. Healthcare services may be delivered more efficiently, accurately, and conveniently with the help of AI-driven technologies. Among these options are precision medicine, remote patient monitoring, and early disease detection. To ensure the responsible deployment of AI-driven advancements and equitable access to these technologies, it is necessary to appropriately address the various ethical, legal, and socio-economic problems surrounding the use of AI in healthcare. There is much hope that AI will improve people's lives and completely alter the way healthcare is provided. It is possible that this might be achieved if healthcare practitioners, researchers, lawmakers, and technologists worked together.

Fairness emphasizes the need to design AI systems that do not perpetuate bias or discrimination, recognizing that algorithms can inadvertently reflect and amplify societal prejudices if not carefully managed. This principle is particularly vital in social media, where biased algorithms can lead to unequal treatment of users based on race, gender, or socio-economic status, ultimately impacting the diversity of voices represented on these platforms. Developers must strive to create algorithms that actively promote inclusivity, ensuring equitable access to information and opportunities for all users. Accountability is another critical principle, necessitating that organizations and developers take responsibility for the outcomes of their AI systems. This principle reinforces the idea that organizations should not only design ethical systems but also be prepared to address any adverse effects or failures that arise from their use. Transparency in AI operations is essential for fostering trust among users.
