In various regions of India, universities and colleges face challenges in providing effective counseling services due to difficulties in identifying the needs of the students, providing need-based Counseling services, demonstrating benefits to the stakeholders and limited awareness. To address these issues, the Student Self-Regulation Needs Inventory (SSRNI) was developed, aiming to evaluate the psychological, biological, and social needs of College students using DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) - based domains. This study included students from colleges in Rajasthan and TamilNadu, involving the formulation of assessment items based on inputs from Experts. A total of 549 students completed the questionnaire, and a test-retest analysis was conducted with a subset of students. The SSRNI questionnaire addressed self-regulation categories like Depression, Dependency and Study skills, adapted from established tools, aligned with DSM-5 criteria. The SSRNI exhibited strong internal reliability (alpha coefficient of 0.853) and construct validity. The SSRNI is a valuable tool for enhancing counseling services. This tool responds to the regional challenges and limitations in counseling services, ultimately benefiting students' well-being and the efficacy of counseling efforts.

In addition to endangering patient safety, the ongoing occurrence of clinical incidents, errors, avoidable adverse events, and hazards raises patient burden, expenses, and length of stay, all of which may contribute to higher patient mortality. The purpose of this study was to evaluate staff nurses' awareness, self-perceived reporting behaviors, and obstacles regarding patient safety incident reporting. A descriptive non-experimental design was employed with 240 nurses in a few Hyderabad hospitals. A checklist was used to gauge awareness of incident reporting, and a Likert scale was used to Knowledge of how to report incidents With a mean score of 9.3 (SD = 4.5), the knowledge of incident reporting scores were remarkably high, accounting for 90.4% of the maximum score. With a mean score of 4.23, nurses rated their existing reporting methods as modest. Among the main obstacles to reporting were worries about disciplinary action, blame, avoiding difficulty, and not submitting a report. The kind of hospital was associated with statistically significant differences in the mean for total awareness of the incident reporting system scores (p <.005*). The kind of hospital was associated with statistically significant differences in the mean for total awareness of the incident reporting system scores (p <.005*). There were statistically significant variations in the self-perceived reporting practices of nurses employed in recognized hospitals (t = 0.73, p <.005).The study allowed the researcher to evaluate staff nurses' awareness, self-perceived reporting behaviors, and impediments regarding patient safety event reporting at a few Hyderabad hospitals.

Recently, honey has become a target of falsification using inexpensive artificial sugar syrup. Current methods for detecting honey adulteration are destructive, slow, and expensive. This paper aims to use hyperspectral imaging (HSI) coupled with Machine Learning (ML) techniques to predict and quantify honey adulteration. The honey adulteration prediction approach proposed in this paper comprises two main steps: spatial and spectral dimensionality reduction and adulteration prediction. We used mathematical averaging to reduce spatial features and employed the Principal Component Analysis and Linear Discriminant Analysis algorithms for spectral feature extraction. Five ML regression models, including Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR), Support Vector Regression (SVR), Decision Tree Regression (DTR), Random Forest Regression (RFR), and K-Nearest Neighbor Regression (KNNR), were used for predicting the sugar concentration in honey. We used a public honey HSI dataset to assess the proposed system's performance. Results show that KNNR outperformed other models in quantifying honey adulteration, achieving a coefficient of determination R2 of 0.94 and a Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of 5.12. Findings indicate that HSI coupled with ML models can provide a fast and nondestructive prediction of honey adulteration.

The aim of this study is to provide natural ergogenic food products to the sports person. Marmalade is a food product made using fruit, peel and pulp. This acts as a convenient food for a sports person before a performance on the go. The ingredients Purple grapes, Watermelon and Beetroot juices were selected due to the following reasons. Purple grapes provide high run time (ergogenic effect) with the consumption of single dose. Watermelon juice relieves muscle soreness and fatigue. Beetroot juice increases the level of phosphocreatine resynthesis, increases muscle power in trained athletes and improves the release and reuptake of the calcium at the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The Synergistic marmalade was prepared in different variations and is compared with standard Grapes marmalade and the best one (Variation D) was selected using sensory analysis by 30 semi-trained panel members. The Nutrient analysis and Physiochemical analysis were carried out. The nutrients such as Potassium and Magnesium in Standard Grapes marmalade and Selected best sample were 210.3mg/100g and 10.16mg/100g and 213.6mg /100g and 12.32mg/100g respectively. Physiochemical analysis such as TSS was 65 % for standard as well as the selected variant, Titrable acidity was 0.67% for standard and 0.39% for selected variant and pH was 3.5 for standard and 3.27 for selected variant. All these parameters were tested to check the physical and chemical attributes of the Synergistic marmalade to be compared with the standard marmalade. The best variation was stored in two different packaging material – Glass jar and a Airtight plastic container in a refrigerator for a period of 21 days. During this period shelflife study was carried out using sensory evaluation and microbial analysis on 1st, 7th, 14th and 21st day. The results showed that the product is fit for consumption until 21 days and both the packaging were good for storage. The synergistic marmalade was popularized among adult sports persons by briefing on the significance, nutritional aspects, functional properties and other health benefits with the help of a pamphlet and questionnaire and analyzing the aftermath of the session.

Vitis vinifera L., commonly known as Muscat grapes is an aromatic food product which has a beneficial effect on the human body due to its phytonutrient potential. Studies have reported that grapes have antiobesity, antidiabetic, antiinflammatory, anticarcinogenic, cardioprotective, vasorelaxant, phytoestrogenic, and neuroprotective properties. This study aimed to identify the phytonutrients such as alkaloids, flavonoids, phenol, steroid, tannin, and terpenoids of the coloured seeded grapes. Whole grapes were collected during the vegetation period and divided into three groups as whole fruit (W), fruit skin (P) and seed (S). All three samples were freeze-dried and soaked with the aqueous solution. Ultrasonic homogenized material was used for extraction. Further analysis is done in FTIR for qualitative measurement of the main functional group and antioxidant activity was determined through the DPPH method. The findings revealed that Muscat grapes may be considered as a natural rich source of phenolic amalgam with a notable amount of antioxidant capacity.

Ayurveda Scholars has considered food (Ahara) as an important pillar for development, sustenance of a healthy life and longevity. Considering the importance of food in health and disease.Charak has mentioned that the health or state of disease depends on rationale use of food. Food has been also considered as an etiological factor of several disorder as well as management and prevention of diseases. Ayurveda has given the comprehensive classification of food that are described in respect of their rasa(taste), vīrya(potency), vipāka (taste after digestion) and prabhāva (special actions) under the chapter Annapana Vidhi Adhyaya of Charak Samhita e.g. corn with spike/awn, corn with pods/legumes, pulses, meat, leaf, fruits, greens, leafy vegetables, wine, water, milk, products of sugar cane juice. In the mid of 1980s the term ‘functional food’ was coined in Japan to refer the food substances which have additional special health benefits. Spices and condiments which are commonly used in every kitchen on regular basis during different cooking preparations such as turmeric, ginger, garlic, onion, coriander, cinnamon, cumin, clove, fennel, barley, Indian gooseberry, tulsi, aloe vera etc. has been described in Ayurveda thousands year back with their special health benefits. In India there are number of traditional products used as functional food but needs more scientific validation, it could be a research opportunity in nutrition to explore the relation between certain diseases and these food components.Functional foods provide great potential for prevention of several chronic diseases, when consumed in balanced proportion in food preparations with a healthy lifestyle.
