Exploring public awareness and practices regarding toothbrush contamination and disinfection: A cross-sectional survey

BACKGROUND: Oral hygiene plays a pivotal role in maintaining overall health, with toothbrushes being a fundamental tool in daily dental care. However, little attention has been given to the critical issue of toothbrush contamination and its implications for public health. This study aims to understand the knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding toothbrush contamination and disinfection among the public. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a cross-sectional questionnaire study consisting of 15 questions that cover points of knowledge, attitude, and practice towards contamination and disinfection of toothbrush reporting was developed in Google form format among 350 participants who gave consent to participate in this study. The collected data was analyzed using the SPSS version 26 software package. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant gap regarding toothbrush contamination, mode of storing the toothbrush, and various practices used for toothbrush disinfection among each participant. It was also seen that general awareness and practice of toothbrush disinfection was higher among female participants in the study, which was also a statistically significant result. CONCLUSION: Understanding these aspects is essential in promoting healthier oral hygiene practices and subsequently improving public health. This study underscores the need for targeted educational campaigns and emphasizes the role of individuals in safeguarding their oral well-being.

Thesis

To adorn home linen using doodle art

Doodle art, a spontaneous and free expression of creativity, transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. Unbound by rules, doodle art emerges from the margins of notebooks to captivate with its whimsical lines and imaginative patterns. This unique form of self-expression invites individuals to unleash their creativity, turning idle moments into vibrant canvases of personal inspiration. Whether intricate or simple, doodle art celebrates the beauty found in spontaneity, inviting artists to explore the limitless possibilities of their imagination. Doodle design converted into a screen for screen printing. Screen printing Originating in ancient China, this method has evolved into a dynamic process where ink is meticulously pressed through a mesh screen to breathe life into designs on diverse textiles. Screen printing transforms surfaces into vibrant showcases of visual beauty. These doodle design screen printing is implemented into home furnishing. Home furnishings, the soul of interior design, weave comfort and style into the fabric of our living spaces. Home furnishings breathe life into houses, transforming them into homes. This realm of design is a tapestry of functionality and aesthetics, where every piece tells a story and contributes to the overall ambiance of a space.

Design and testing of solar charged voice recognized Arduino car

This research study is an advent of voice recognition technology that has ushered in a new era of human-machine interaction, enabling seamless and intuitive control of various devices and applications. In this research paper, we present a novel application of voice recognition technology in the realm of robotics - a Voice-Activated Arduino Car Control System. This system combines the power of Arduino microcontrollers, voice recognition software, and motor control mechanisms to create a versatile and user-friendly platform for controlling a robotic car using voice commands. The primary objective of this research is to design and implement a voice-activated control system that enhances the accessibility and usability of robotic cars. To achieve this, we have developed a comprehensive system architecture comprising hardware and software components. The hardware includes an Arduino microcontroller, motor drivers, sensors, and a microphone. At the same time, the software incorporates a voice recognition algorithm, and the solar panel is used to recharge the battery which is user-friendly.

Comparative phytochemical and in vitro antioxidant studies of ethanolic, hydroethanolic, and aqueous root extracts of rhinacanthusnasutus(l.) Kuntze

Rhinacanthus nasutus(L.)Kuntze (Nagamalli) has long been used in traditional medicine to alleviate abscess pain, tinea versicolor, pruritic rash, ringworm, and skin diseases. The current study sought to explore the existence of numerous phytochemicals as well as the total phenolic, flavonoid, and tannin levels of Rhinacanthus nasutus. In qualitative analysis, the various phytochemical compounds were screened using standard methods. In quantitative estimation, the total phenolic content of each extract was 74.75, 82.47 & 61.25 mg of GA/g extract, the total flavonoid was 368.2, 512.25&160.6 mg of Ru/g extract, and the total tannin was 17.5, 38.5&22.6 mg of CTN/g extract respectively. In-vitro antioxidant activity of ethanolic, hydroethanolic, and aqueous extracts of Rhinacanthus nasutus root was determined by DPPH free radical scavenging assay and determination of total antioxidant activity. The hydroethanolic extract had shown very significant DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl) radical scavenging activity compared to other extracts. In the DPPH free radical scavenging assay IC50 value of alcoholic, hydroalcoholic, and aqueous root extracts was found to be 282.28, 114.62, and 597.96 µg/mL respectively. The total antioxidant activity of the Rhinacanthus nasutus root extracts was calculated from the calibration curve of ascorbic acid, the results show the antioxidant activity of ethanolic, hydroethanolic, and aqueous extracts were 37.675, 50.85, and 28.225 mg of AA/g extract respectively. The quantitative phytochemical and antioxidant assays showed significant activity for hydroalcoholic extract when compared with ethanolic and aqueous extracts. Thus the present study revealed the comparative phytochemical and in-vitro antioxidant potential of ethanolic, hydroethanolic, and aqueous root extracts of Rhinacanthus nasutus.

Improvised approach to Deepfake detection

Deepfakes are realistic, human-synthesized videos that are incredibly simple to produce thanks to the advent of sophisticated algorithms fueled by advances in the field of deep learning. Deepfakes are being used to create fictitious news stories about terrorism, politics, and retaliation in order to incite societal unrest. The development of efficient techniques for identifying deepfakes is imperative, given the mounting concerns surrounding them. Our work in this field offers a brand-new deep learning-based method that effectively distinguishes between authentic videos and artificial intelligence-generated phony ones. Our technique can identify deepfakes that are both reenactments and replacements. To counter the threat posed by artificial intelligence (AI), we suggest a system that makes use of AI. In order to train an InceptionV3 model to categorize films as either real or manipulated, depending on whether they have undergone any kind of alteration, this method uses an MTCNN neural network to extract frame-level information. We assess our method on a large-scale balanced and mixed data set in order to mimic real-time scenarios and improve the model’s performance on real-time data. This dataset was painstakingly created by combining multiple available datasets.

Efficient establishment of foreign manufacturing units in India: utilizing operation research approaches amidst changing import regulations

With increasing regulatory policies from countries, companies have to find an efficient way to set up their manufacturing units in other countries as well. Currently majority of the companies set up their manufacturing units in China as they are able to manufacture products at a cheaper price, however this will not work for the long term, as if the companies intend to sell their products in countries with restrictive import policies, they will have to diversify and set up their manufacturing units in that/those countries as well. To select the right location for setting up a manufacturing unit, a company must look into what we classified as Internal and External factors which we will be going in-depth further into the research paper. This research paper sets out to provide a framework to those companies that are looking to set up their own manufacturing units in a country using operation research tools such as Linear programming which includes visualizing the “Internal” factors as a transportation problem. One probable limitation of this research paper is assuming that the current demand for the products in the economy will remain equal to the forecasted demand or demand in the coming years after setting up the manufacturing units, demand will be used in the linear programming problems later in this research paper.
