Longevity of the antimicrobial effect of Silver Diamond Fluoride on cariogenic bacteria in children- A Systematic review
To critically evaluate the effect of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) on the bacterial load of cariogenic bacteria in children. Electronic databases were searched from Google Scholar, PubMed, Wiley online library, SciELO, Science Direct, Scopus, Cochrane from 2013 till the 15th of August 2020 to list out studies undertaken to evaluate the effect of silver diamine fluoride on cariogenic bacteria in children from 2 to 10 years. Abstracts and subsequently eligible full-text articles were screened. Results: Six hundred sixty-five studies were obtained from all the databases. After a thorough screening, five studies met all the inclusion criteria. Four studies assessed the bacterial load with the microbiological culture method, two studies assessed bacteria with Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) bio-luminometer. Conclusion: Peak antimicrobial action of SDF was appreciated from the 3rd -30th day of post-application.

A research study to find out the changing role of the International Monetary Fund (IMF)
The International Monetary Fund or the IMF plays an important role in its global response to economic crises. It was created in 1944 to maintain the standard of fixed exchange rates which were established at the end of World War II. Since the abandonment of the gold standard in 1971, the IMF has adopted a new core mission, providing loans to economically troubled countries. The IMF is primarily governed by an executive board that consists of representatives of the IMF member countries, with a heavier weighting to countries that provide more money to the Fund. The executive board sets the broad policy and approves loans. The IMF has the potential to play a strategic and crucial role in stabilizing and supervising the global economy, it has its limitations due to the dynamic changes which are happening around the world’s financial markets. Since countries have shifted to the flexible exchange rate system, financial independence and autonomy have increased. This development is bound to make the role of the IMF ineffective. For this research, I have collected real information by conducting a survey. I interviewed approximately 85 respondents living in Mumbai in order to fulfill the objectives of this research.

Are we doing justice to our citizens? Public financing of healthcare in developing countries with special reference to India
Public expenditure in health care has accounted for a rising proportion of national income in the current and previous centuries and this is regardless of their level of economic development. In this context, the central idea of the paper is to analyze the degree and volume of public health financing systems in developing countries [lower and middle-income countries (LMICs)] with a focus on India. The indicators selected include per capita income of the country (in PPP USD terms), life expectancy at birth (LEB) of the total population, infant mortality rate (IMR), the share of total health care expenditure (THE) as a proportion of GDP, government health expenditure (GHE) as a proportion of total health care expenditure (THE), private health expenditure (PHE) as a proportion of total health care expenditure (THE), etc. A positive relationship between the per capita income of the country and its corresponding health care resource commitment. In average terms, public sources contribute 45 percent of health financing, while the rest is by private means. Countries like Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Seira Leone spend relatively low from public sources. Life expectancy is having a positive relationship with total health care spending in the countries analyzed. Given the context of serious market failures and government failures, the low-income country populations are in a vicious cycle of ill-health and poverty. Public spending is a major way of removing the clutches of deprivation. Scholars suggest that rich people gain more from public subsidies in education and health than do poor people for four sets of reasons: private costs, differential costs and benefits, patterns of government expenditure, and rationing.

Warehouse Security System
For ages, Agriculture is one of the main areas in terms of income for Farmers. Proper food storage has a very important role when it comes to food security that is affected by both food loss and food wastage. Food product losses can be avoided, which is automatic increases food availability. In this report, we are proposing an IoT-enabled warehouse monitoring system to deploy in remote areas where the very minimum accessibility for farmers with good security facilities reduces losses of food and increases the safety of food. This framework will monitor warehouse parameters such as Humidity, temperature, Smoke, and motion, which can affect grains. The ESP32 WiFi microcontroller module collects the data from the different sensors and sends data to the Blynk App dashboard, WhatsApp, and Telegram App. Many numbers of these IoT nodes can be installed inside the warehouse and which will get information about the warehouse environment to the farmers through Blynk, Telegram, and WhatsApp notifications to alert the user. Along with the security inside the warehouse, this proposed system also monitors the entry door of the warehouse to alert the farmer if any strange person wants to enter the warehouse. In such a situation, the photo of the person will be captured by the ESP32 CAM and send to the Telegram App of the farmer to allow or not to allow him inside. If the farmer authorizes the person, then, the person can enter inside the premises of the warehouse.

Effect of social media-based counseling on study habits of distance learners
In this modern era of technological advancements, teaching-learning activities along with counseling get privileged with the use of information communication technology for enriching the quality. In this concern, social media has played a significant role in teaching and taught interaction, especially in the field of distance education. Study habits play an important role in distance learning. However, it is difficult to understand the level of study habits on the part of distance learners. The main objectives of this study were to ascertain the study habits of distance learners with and without social media-based counseling and compare the result. It has also tried to compare study habits of distance learners with respect to their gender and discipline of study. About 80 distance students were taken as a sample of the study. The post-test-only experimental design was taken as methodology. It was found that the study habits of students gone through social media-based counseling were high in comparison to traditional counseling. It is also found that there exists no significant difference between male and female distance learners with respect to their study habits. A similar result was also obtained for their discipline of study. It is evident from the study that there exist strong correlations between learners' access to social media and their study habits. It is suggested that distance education institutions must encourage social media-based counseling for their learners in order to enhance their study habits.
