Women discrimination in Vijay Tendulkar’s plays
Vijay Tendulkar is one of India’s most influential playwrights. He is the most prolific and controversial dramatist among the Post-Independence Indian play writer. Vijay Tendulkar is one of the significant dramatists of the Indian English genre. He is realistic in showing the problems of the common man, the conflict between human relationships,s, and discrimination against women in the patriarchal society. Vijay Tendulkar (1928-2008) is a leading contemporary Indian playwright who writes in Marathi about emerging issues in globalization. His prolific writing over a period of five decades includes thirty full-length plays, twenty-three one-act plays, eleven children’s dramas, four collections of short stories, two novels, and five volumes of literary essays and social criticism. His female characters are mainly from lower and middle-class families such as housewives, teachers, mistresses, daughters, slaves, and servants. The issues of gender discrimination, greed for money, sexual norms, violence, man-woman relationship, social issues, power, and morality have been featured prominently in his plays. He deals with all the problems and conspiracies, of contemporary society. The conspiracies are discussed in this paper under the heading – Woman Discrimination

COVID Detection using X-ray
As we know about the Covid-19 virus that has shaken everyone around the globe. People get affected to this deadly virus physically & mentally and due to bad medical facilities in some countries it has become difficult to handle this large crowd of patients rushing to the hospitals. COVID-19 tests kits were hard to come by, there are simply not enough of them and they cannot be manufactured fast enough, which is causing panic. When there’s panic, there are nefarious people looking to take advantage of others, namely by selling fake COVID-19 test kits after finding victims on social media platforms and chat applications. Since COVID-19 attacks the epithelial cells that line our respiratory tract, we can use X-rays images to analyse the health of a patient’s lungs. And given that nearly all hospitals have X-ray imaging machines, it could be possible to use X-rays to test for COVID-19 without the dedicated test kits. This project uses TensorFlow and Keras and deep learning using CNN algorithm to train the model.

Artificial Intelligence in weed control and management
Weed control and management play a vital role in the economic system. As the presence of weeds along with the crops have the power to decrease the yield, hamper the harvest and also lessen the quality of the crop which could lead to increment in the production cost and also decrease the market value of the crop in case weeds are not controlled. Weeds also hinder with the application of pesticides and interfere with irrigation. Automation in weed control is an emerging technology. Sturdy weed management technology will control the weeds despite the variables in the field. This paper mainly focuses on the mechanisms of weed control and management and their future scope.

Microporous Modified Atmosphere Packaging of food stuffs
MAP is broadly used globally to withhold the quality and to prolong the shelf-life of vegetables and fruits. It also helps in lowering processing cost and adaptable air permeability. By the progress and growing demand of fresh foods industry, the partial porousness of film in MAP can’t encounter the fresh-keeping desires of foods, specially vegetables and fruits. Microporous film can adaptably regulate the gas absorptivity in line with metabolic physiological characteristics of foods stuffs, which has slowly become a prominent fresh-keeping technology in the field of food industry. Various methods used to prepare microporous films. This paper is especially targeting the applying of environmentally friendly degradable film materials in fruits and vegetables preservation. Investigation has revealed that the bio-degradable material can upsurge the fresh-keeping outcome of microporous modified atmosphere packaging. Broad range of application of microporous modified atmosphere packaging is used in various foodstuff packages. Current and future trends of microporous MAP are briefly discussed.

Recent advancement in adipose stem cell-based bone tissue engineering
Adipose stem cells (ASCs), a variety of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are an essential element within bone tissue engineering (BTE). ASCs offer several advantages in isolation, culturing, maintenance, differentiation, repair, etc. Because of all these advantages of ASCs along with high paracrine activity, lacking major histocompatibility complex class II expression autologous ASCs are attracted towards treatment for organs damaged due to disease or injury and also in regenerative medicine. Bone is a very compound tissue and it takes part in various processes which include endocrine functions, hematopoiesis, mineral homeostasis and storage, body movement. Bone tissue engineering approaches involve combining cells and engineering materials with signaling molecules which is crucial for effective bone repair. ASCs are a vital element in BTE. BTE requires 3 important elements: (1) osteoprogenitor cells, (2) bioactive factors, (3) scaffold. In this review, we will be focusing on the recent discoveries which have employed the use of scaffolds, ASCs, bioactive factors in BTE. This review first outlined the advantages of ADCs in terms of isolation, culture, differentiation, etc. The different Growth factors involved in osteogenesis, which are the key segments in BTE. The available and recent innovations in the biological, mechanical, and structural necessities in the design of a profitable scaffold and their effects, which is succeeded by a summary of regular materials intended for scaffold fabrication were then briefed.

Recent trends in microfluidics-based skin-on-a-chip models and applications
Skin in the human body plays a major role being a dermal barrier, maintains homeostasis, and is a vital route for the administration of cosmetics and pharmaceutical formulations. Currently, skin diseases are also posing a threat globally, being ranked fourth among non-fatal diseases. Preclinical studies of drugs and therapeutics are required to be performed at a faster rate and ensure that the results obtained are accurate. Using conventional methods of animal testing is leading to high failure rates and an expensive drug development process. To circumvent these limitations, miniaturized microfluidic devices are gaining immense popularity with respect to diagnostics, biomedical research, and drug testing. Skin-on-Chip is one of the micro-engineered biomimetic platforms that can be used as an alternative to animal testing in preclinical studies. This review gives a brief overview of the limitations in the conventional drug development process. It gives clear insights into the general designing of the skin-on-chip device and collates recent developments that skin-on-chip models are subjected to, with an overview of the side effects testing of sorafenib using the skin-on-chip model. Integration of microsensors is also summarized in this review. The use of iPSCs and Skin-on-Chip in a combination resulting in better in vitro skin models is also highlighted. Further, this review gives information about the utilizations of Skin-on-a-Chip models in diffusion studies, wound healing, and progress in precision medicine tailored to the person. Finally, the potential challenges that have to be overcome for its widespread utilization are elucidated.
