Abstract: Melapalayam is a small western neighbourhood of Tirunelveli, a city in Tamil Nadu, India. It is one of the developing residential districts. The present study during the rainy season of December 2023, it involves thecollection of twenty groundwater samples, which were subsequently subjected to a thorough analysis of their physico-chemical parameters. The primary focus of this investigation encompasses the determination of key characteristics, including pH, Electrical Conductivity, Total Dissolved Solids, Dissolved Oxygen, Biochemical Oxygen Demand, Chemical Oxygen Demand, Calcium, Magnesium, Total Hardness, Chloride, Sulphate, Sodium and Potassium. Groundwater suitability for domestic and irrigation purpose was examined by using WHO standards. The main objectives are to study about by using the Water quality index, Wilcox diagram and Piper Diagram whether it is suitable for drinking and irrigation or not. The quality of groundwater samples were discussed with respect to these parameters and thus an attempt was made to ascertain the quality of groundwater is fit or not for drinking and other purposes.
A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Verbal Coaching Among Pregnant Women During Labor Process
Samarpita Pramanik
Abstract: Labor is a very crucial process in every woman’s life. The second stage of labour is regarded as the climax of the birth by the delivering woman, her partner, and the care provider. However, the provision of skilled care and avoidance of complications during the second stage of labor has been relatively neglected. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of verbal coaching among pregnant women during labor process. This was a mixed methodology study which consisted of both a quantitative as well as a qualitative aspect. The findings reflect that the respondents of the control group had a longer duration of labor time than the respondents of the experimental group. The study reflected that there was a statistically significant difference in the total duration of labor between the control and experimental group (p-value=0.002). In the qualitative part, the experiences of pregnant mothers during the labor process were assessed. Four themes were generated during this survey which were as follows- a. Sense of autonomy; b. Health care personnel’s Behaviour; c. Care Process; d. Needs Fulfilment
Constitutional Approach of Treatment of Multisystemic Disorder: A Case Report
Dr. Mridupawan Dutta, Dr.Mridusmita Bhagawati & Dr. Tina Devi
Abstract: As we all know that Homoeopathy has an individualistic approach for treatment of various disease among which constitutional approach is the best. Constitution is defined as a person’s physical and mental make-up which is revealed through his physical built, his characteristic desires, aversions and reactions as well as emotional and intellectual attributes. Physical make-up of the individual illuminates many aspects of personality and many of the behavioral patterns. Physical characteristics are linked closely to the genetic make-up and this suggests that the physical and psychic characters are intimately related. The term constitution emphasizes on physical structure as well as the biological function, comprising inherited qualities modified by the environment. Every person is born with a certain part of organization which is determined by the genes and the environmental influences. During intrauterine life, the embryo is liable to receive the effect of various physical and emotional factors on mother. It develops certain attributes during this stage of life. After nine months of intrauterine life, it comes out with certain attributes and enters the world which has altogether different environment. In the course of its growth, it comes across different environment and accordingly modifies its reaction by learning through experiences. It develops certain likes and dislikes, certain positive and negative attitudes which, in due course, become a part of its behavioral pattern. Throughout his life, a person learns through his personal experiences, but the impact of early environment plays a great role in the making of his constitution. Thus, the constitution of a person is the sum total of the result of the influences of early environment on hereditary characteristics.

Dr. A. Rathinavelu, M. Poovarasan , A. Asrar Ahamed , S. Srikanth & J. Somesh
Abstract: The contamination of water bodies with artificial dyes causes serious health and ecological concerns. The discharge of dyes into water systems from various industries, including textiles, paper, and others, causes significant ecological disturbances and poses health risks to humans. This study deals with the development of eco-friendly Nano composite made with French green clay and MnO2 and to examine the potential of composite for Malachite green (MG) removal. The composite's adsorptive capabilities are improved by the addition of MnO₂, while the French green clay serves as a stable matrix. The various material characterization technique was employed for both French green clay and of the Nano composite sample before and after adsorption of MG dye. X-ray diffarction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) analysis were all employed to characterize the crystalline nature, surface morphology and functional groups of the nanocomposite thoroughly. The operational parameters such as effect of time and adsorbent dosage were investigated. According to the results, French green clay-MnO2nanocomposite act as an effective and environmentally friendly adsorbent for MG dye removal.

Dr. S. Basheer Ahamed, Dr. N. Mohamed Siddiq, Dr. S. I. A. Muhammed Yasir, Dr. M. Mohamed Riaz & Mr. S. Mohamed Shahin
Abstract: This study examines the rise of digital wallets and their impact on consumer spending behaviour in Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu. With the rapid growth of digital payment platforms such as Google Pay, Paytm, and PhonePe, India has witnessed a shift from traditional cash-based transactions to mobile wallet usage. The research focuses on understanding how the frequency of digital wallet use influences spending patterns, with particular attention to demographic factors such as age, gender, and occupation. A sample of 390 respondents was surveyed using stratified random sampling, and data analysis was performed using tools such as percentage analysis, Chi-Square tests, and t-tests. The findings indicate that digital wallets are widely adopted, particularly among younger, working professionals, and students. The study also reveals that male users tend to spend more via digital wallets than female users, and occupation significantly influences usage frequency. The study highlights the need for targeted marketing strategies, security enhancements, and consumer education to further boost adoption, especially among rural and older populations. The findings suggest that digital wallets are a key driver of financial inclusion and a catalyst for changing consumer spending behaviour in India’s evolving digital economy.
Plato’s Concept of an Ideal State and Modern-Day Democracy
Ahmad Shamshad
Abstract: Plato’s concept of the ideal state, as articulated in his work “The Republic,” remains a significant philosophical reference point for understanding governance and society today. His vision, rooted in the pursuit of justice and the common good, provides a contrasting lens through which to examine modern-day democracy. While it is not without its flaws and limitations, it remains a powerful and enduring contribution to the history of political thought, prompting us to reflect on the nature of good governance and the pursuit of a more just and equitable world. Plato’s concept of an ideal state is a significant contribution to political thought. It has inspired countless philosophers and political theorists to consider the nature of justice, the role of government, and the relationship between the individual and the state.
