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.

Communication using VLC

Visible Light Communication technology is considered complimentary to Radio Frequency (RF) technology. The current Wi-Fi network uses Radio Frequency waves, but the usage of the available RF spectrum is limited. Therefore, a new technology, Li-Fi has come into the picture. Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) based Visible Light Communication system appears to have enhanced wireless capability to realize IoT, 5G Cellular Systems, and many more. Li-Fi is a recently developed technology.

The need for digital transformation in business

There was a time in business, where business as usual was good enough. Now no more. Where we are going good enough is dead and dying. In a world where everything is connected, there is only one major space to innovate, which is the digital transformations inside the organization. The organizations which are not digitally transforming are getting out of business. The research paper aims to identify, describe the impact of digital transformation of business in India and describe the key drivers of strategic business management development in the light of the recent waves of digital transformation. This research paper presents an overview of the existing literature, which is there concerning digital transformation. The research results from professional associations as well as the existing body of the recognized publishers were considered for making the research. Furthermore, we have conducted expert interviews as well as the market data where it was available.

Design of autonomous line follower robot with obstacle avoidance

This paper shows the design and implementation of the Line Follower Robot and its ability to select the desired line among the black and white lines. This can be combined with different colors. Since each color has its own distinct property, the robot can therefore easily differentiate among different colors and possess the ability to detect the presence of an obstacle and choose the other path to find its target. It is programmed in such a way that instructions are given to the robot which senses a line and attempts to move towards the target. The robot can easily move along very congested curves as it continuously data from the sensors. This robot avoids collision and it can detect collision with an obstacle sensor and hence reaching the target. The proposed system can be implemented in any commercial, industrial, medical, and also in educational labs

Blockchain based data privacy preservation for financial sector

Whenever people want to store information over the internet in cloud storage, security is the primary thing that comes to mind. There are more chances that anyone will leak such data if we store a data as it is or transfer a data as it is over the internet.In request to decrease the demand of monetary item data update among multi organizations, oversee multi-dimensional and broadened monetary information encryption, improve the traceback capacity, we propose a blockchain-based financial area.

Evaluate the effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme on knowledge and practice regarding breast feeding technique among primipara postnatal mother

Breast feeding immediately after delivery encourages the “bonding” of the mother to her infant. Initiation of breastfeeding, it is the first contact and first breastfeed. Objectives- To assess the knowledge and practice of primipara postnatal mothers regarding breast feeding technique in terms of pre and post –test scores in experimental groups and control groups. To evaluate the effectiveness of the video assisted teaching programme by comparing pre –test and post test knowledge and practice scores. To assess the correlation between knowledge and practice. Methodology-.A quantitative approach and quasi-experimental research design (pre-test, post-test, control group) was used for the study. Sample size was 60 primi para postnatal mothers 30 in control group and 30 in experiment group and sampling technique used was non probability sampling (Purposive sampling) technique Independent variables video assisted teaching breast feeding technique. Self Structured Knowledge Questionnaire was prepared with 40 questions and observation checklist for practice Questionnaire was prepared with 30 questions to collect the data and data was analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. Results-In pre test experimental group 17(56.7%) , 13(43.3%) had average ,good knowledge and none of them having below average and very good knowledge . In post test experimental group 20(66.7%), 8(26.7%) and 2(6.7%) good , very good average knowledge and none of them having below average. In pre - test control group 19(63.3%), 11(36.7%) had average, good knowledge and none of them having below and very good knowledge. In post - test control group 15(50.0%), 15(50.0%) average, good knowledge and none of them having below average and very good knowledge In pretest experimental group 24 (80.0%), 6(20.0%) had adequate, inadequate practice. In pretest control group 17(56.7%), 13(43.3%) had inadequate moderate adequate practice regarding. In post -test experimental group 23 (76.7%),7(23.3%) had adequate moderate adequate practice and0(0%)had inadequate practice. In pretest control group 19(63.3%) 11(36.7%) had moderate inadequate practice and 0 (.0%) had adequate practice The comparing pre and post test knowledge and practice in experimental group was found in the pre test 20.27 ± 3.45 and post test 28.50 ± 3.79.the pre vs post paired t ‘test value 36.877.In control group on knowledge was found in the pre test 19.97± 3.01 and post test 0.767± 0.86 pre vs post paired t ‘test value 4.892. In experimental group on practice score of mothers was found in the pre test 14.60 ± 3.69 and post test 22.90 ± 3.60. the pre vs post paired t ‘ test value 28.027.In control group on practice score of mothers was found in the pre test 11.43±3.29 and post test 12,20±.49 .The pre vs post paired t ‘ test value 6.185.There was no correlation coefficients were not significant in pre-post knowledge and practice in experiment and control group.
