Title: In-vitro antioxidant activity of total phenolic and flavonoid content of Solanum nigrum: A comparative study
Year: 2022 Full Paper [Download] Page: 9-27
Abstract: In the traditional system of medicine, Solanum nigrum belonging to the family Solanaceae has been considered as a remedy for treating various ailments like epilepsy, gastric ulcers, etc., and is believed to have hepatoprotective activities. In this study, the total phenolic and flavonoid content of three extracts (Petroleum Ether, Ethyl acetate and Methanol) from the solanum nigrum leaves and their antioxidant activity was carried out by using spectrophotometric methods. Methanol extract with high absorbance exhibited the highest antioxidant activity containing the highest quantity of phenolics and flavonoids followed by Ethyl Acetate and Petroleum Ether. The presence of phenolic and flavonoid compounds indicated that these compounds can contribute to antioxidant activity. These active constituents alone or in combination with others may be responsible for the observed antioxidant activity. The findings indicated promising antioxidant activity of crude extracts of leaves needs further exploration for their effective use in both modern and traditional systems of medicines. The Solanum nigrum leaf can be regarded as a promising candidate for natural plant sources of antioxidants with higher values. A comparative study of the total phenolic and flavonoid contents extracted by the solvents, and their in-vitro antioxidant activity that could be an effective remedy in hepatoprotection was carried out in the study.

Year: 2022 Full Paper [Download] Page:45-49
Abstract: The importance of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the country’s economic and social development has long been recognized. Individual creativity and invention are frequently the driving forces behind entrepreneurship in the MSME sector. MSMEs contribute around 6.11% of the manufacturing GDP and 24.63% of the GDP from service activities as well as 33.4% of India’s manufacturing output. They have been able to provide employment to around 120 million persons and contribute around 45% of the overall exports from India. At present, India has approximately 6.3 crore MSMEs over 110 million workers for micro, small and medium enterprises across India, MSMEs have a far greater labor-to-capital ratio than major industries, and their total growth is substantially faster. MSMEs are also more evenly distributed geographically. As a result, MSMEs are critical to achieving the national goals of equity and growth, In contrast to the preceding concept of industry, the concept of ‘enterprise was introduce. Small businesses, both legal and informal, contribute roughly the same amount to GDP and employment in low, middle, and high-income countries. As income rises, the informal sector’s share of the economy declines and the formal SME sector’s rises. The most vital need is to provide large-scale employment as countries expand and agriculture’s share of employment and GDP declines. In India, the MSME sector is diverse, fragmented, and largely unstructured, it encompasses a wide range of manufacturing units, from traditional crafts to high-tech enterprises. MSMEs face a number of challenges, like financial issue, regulatory issues infrastructure , low productivity , lack of innovation, technical challenges, skill, competition, lack of professionalism, lack of standard policies, However, the government is trying to keep the MSME sector competitive. The cost of finance is gradually lowering, and both the public and private sectors are attempting to develop better products that are both quality and price competitive. MSMEs may be able to compete with larger enterprises if corruption is eliminated and a greater emphasis is placed on quality.

Title: The School for Scandal as an Anti-Sentimental Comedy: A Critical Assessment
Year 2022 Full Paper [Download] Page:50-53
Abstract: As a powerful genre in the eighteenth century, sentimental comedy was extremely popular in that period. A sentimental comedy arouses the emotions of sorrow, pity as well as compassion. It portrays the idea that human beings are essentially good at heart, but are astray as they are dominated by evil traits. An anti-sentimental comedy, on the other hand, is also called “Comedy of Manners”. When Sentimental comedy was on the path of decline, writers like Oliver Goldsmith and Richard Sheridan turned to anti-sentimental comedy which was basically an artificial comedy. These writers practiced this comedy to delineate the atmosphere of middle-class families. Moreover, in order to save drama from the path of decline, they were trying to restore the dramatic activities. An anti-sentimental comedy deals with the sophisticated and complex codes of conduct of the fashionable world. The central plot generally portrays the scandals, intrigues, lust and greed as the recurrent themes of the play. In this connection, William Congreve’s The Way of the World displays all the important features of an anti-sentimental comedy. The three plots of the comedy-love plot, Teazle plot and surface plot give an impression of a single strand of the play, the scandal plot. Love, intrigues and scandals are the crux of the main happenings of the play in which both Joseph Surface and Charles Surface, being in love with a girl, Maria. Joseph hatches an intrigue against Charles Surface to win the hand of Maria. At the end, when all the complications are resolved, both Maria and Charles Surface are rewarded with their union in love.
