https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/197
<p>With the advent of innovative technology, many traditional schools have resorted to modern techniques to facilitate student learning. Early steps recognize the role of technology in education. Which indicates the importance of audio-visual equipment like tele media, recording media, computer etc. Thus, educational technology emphasizes the art of employing so-called hardware, innovative media, and machine industry methods for educational purposes. It has now become clear that the systematic way in which technology is used to achieve a purpose is as important as the use of technology. Today the software aspect of educational technology has reached an important point i.e. it is useful in molding behavioural practices or in other words useful for solving problems of promoting learning and motivation. The most widely known meaning of educational technology today is more special than the acquisition of its hardware or software.</p>Shveta Joshi

<p>दलित साहित्य मनुष्य को मनुष्य के रुप में देखता है। जिसे हम दलित मनोवैज्ञानिक मुक्ति का साहित्य कहते है। हशिये के बहार पडा भारतीय दलित समाज आज आत्मसम्मान तथा बहिस्कृत जिंदगी से मुक्ति पाने का संघर्ष एवं अपने आत्मसम्मान की पहचान की लडाई लड़ रहा है। शोषण के प्रति विद्रोह भाव जगाना ही साहित्य कर्मियों का कर्तव्य है। दलित साहित्य का उद्देश्य दलित समाज में जागृति पैदा करके उनमें स्वाभिमान भरना है। वे चाहते है कि संपूर्ण समाज व्यवस्था को नष्ट करके समान समाज व्यवस्था का निर्माण हो, नवीन समाज व्यवस्था निर्मित हो वहाँ हरेक व्यक्ति को समान अधिकार मिले।</p>मीना राठोडरमेशभाई बनकर

https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/188
<p>India assumed the presidency of the G20 grouping from Indonesia on December 1, 2022, and will hold the post for a year. During its presidency, in a variety of social and economic sectors, India aims to identify, highlight, build and deepen international support for vitally important issues. This G20 conference in India is intended to continue pressing for reformed multilateralism that creates a multipolar international structure that is more accountable, inclusive, equitable and representative. India also intends to highlight inclusive growth and development at the G20 summit, placing a focus on women's empowerment and representation in essence of its G20 discussions.(indiafoundation, 2022).The G20 is an international forum for governance of the global economy, representing 85% of two-thirds of the world's population, 75% of global trade, and the worldwide GDP.(THE TIMES OF INDIA, 2023).India has been a member of the G20 since 1999 and will keep chairmanship for one year.(THE TIMES OF INDIA, 2023).India's Presidency comes at a time of global flux, with the Russia-Ukraine conflict and sanctions affecting the most vulnerable developing countries and LDCs. India's vision for global development, is shaped by green and digital uprisings and the pandemic effect. With a new emphasis on the "global common good", PM Modi has changed India's foreign policy. Through its leadership of the G20, India seeks to find long-term & appropriate approaches to global problems including climate change, emerging technologies, food and energy security.(THE TIMES OF INDIA, 2023).India will host the G20 Leaders' Summit in New Delhi in 2023. (THE TIMES OF INDIA, 2023).The objectives of this article are to analyze the country's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges (SWOC) in the context of India in the G20 summit. The current study is conducted using secondary data from books, government publications, open-source databases, and other literature sources. It is based on both descriptive and analytical research methodologies.</p>Rinkesh MahidaSani Chauhan

https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/190
<p><strong>Objective</strong><strong>:</strong> The aim of this study is to observe the apoptosis of <em>ALSTONIA SCHOLARIS</em> <em>(L.) R.Br.</em> against Daudi cells and to study its primary mechanism.</p> <p><strong>Materials</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Methods</strong><strong>:</strong> Antiproliferative activity of cultured Daudi cells was evaluated using 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay in a dose- and time-dependent manner after treatment with the hydroalcoholic extract of <em>A.</em> <em>scholaris</em>. Trypan blue viability assay was also performed. Apoptosis induction in the cells post treatment was determined by DNA fragmentation assay, Agarose gel electrophoresis, and Acridine orange/Ethidium bromide dual staining. Protein isolation and analysis was carried out using the standard polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis protocols.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong><strong>:</strong> The extracts inhibited the growth and proliferation of Daudi cells through induced cell death, which was dose-dependent and time-dependent. The IC<sub>50</sub> value was found to be 260 µg/ml after 72 h of treatment. The induction of DNA fragmentation and increase in a number of apoptotic ells post treatment suggest the possibility of apoptosis induction. A significant decrease in protein level was also observed.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion</strong><strong>:</strong> The results raise the possibility that the hydroalcoholic extract of <em>A.</em> <em>scholaris </em>could be a potent chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of various cancers. Further evaluation of its potency as a chemotherapeutic agent is imperative.</p>Felisa ParmarLinz-Buoy GeorgeHyacinth Highland

https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/189
<p>The word, ‘folk’ has wide range of understanding and connotations-ranging from ‘natural’ to traditional’ to ‘rural’ and in some cases ‘from the heart’ in India. Very ancients of this land, India, were past masters of all art forms that are folk. Folk literature also called folklore or oral tradition is that the lore (traditional knowledge and beliefs) of cultures having no written communication. In the new National Education Policy-2020 several important guidelines to preserve the tradition of multilingualism and folk wisdom have been given. Its background is based on folk Literature. In the context of globalisation, and changes to work patterns it is failing to redevelop vocational education resources to industries.</p> <p>The paper starts with folk literature and India’s Vocational Education and training which is essential mechanism of any strategy to improve farm and nonfarm productivity that improves rural incomes. Skill is the bridge between job and workforce. The discussion will go on to use of materials from folk literature for purposes of instruction at various levels of education is rather minimal included vocational education emerging with National Education Policy-2020. Finally, an attempt to make use of folk literature as a powerful educational tool to redevelop vocational education through skill development in India as it could be to increase inclusivity, innovation and prosperity. Efforts have to be made to sensitize our young learners towards the rich folk heritage of India and give it the prestigious position that it deserves in our life.</p>Dharti Gajjar

https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/182
<p>Gujarat is regarded as one of the world's economic centers, and as such, all of its sectors should be promoted. Energy is one of the sectors that is regarded as the foundation for the overall development. Since two to three decades ago, the amount of coal consumed to produce adequate electricity has increased proportionately, leading to an increase in carbon emissions (CO2). Gujarat is one of the states with excess energy supply and benefits from a 1600-kilometer coastline. Gujarat has one of the highest per capita energy consumption rates among many Asian countries and states. Because of the volume of carbon emissions, there has been an increase in the demand for modern technology and development. The Gujarat government has implemented a wide range of programmes and policies to address the issue of renewable resources and the associated environmental risk. Here, the researcher had examined a number of programmes and strategies for the use of renewable energy sources by the state. The researcher has also examined how various programmes and policies have affected environmental risk and how those programmes and policies relate to Indian government environmental policy. The inexperienced passageway project of the Indian government and the numerous concerns for climate change are also highlighted in this paper. The major goal of this research is to see if Gujarat Government can reduce carbon emissions and increase use of renewable resources. Here, the researcher has analyzed data for the years 2010 to 2020 using secondary data and tabulation techniques.</p>Hiral BhattMayuri Pandya

https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/201
<p>In shaping the Indian identity and Indian literature Hinduism has played a central role it has been a treasure trove of diverse cultural expressions.

https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/196
<p>Learning is defined as the active reorganization of an existing pattern of meaning, while teaching is the achievement of shared sense in the context of educating. This conception of teaching-learning requires some elucidation. In a teaching moment, the teacher acts intentionally to change the meaning of the student's experience, using curriculum materials. It is as if the teacher and student were standing side by side, looking together at the curriculum. According to Jean Piaget, during the latter sensory-motor stage, the child experiences his world where he develops an understanding of object permanence of an object which exists, even if that object is not within the field of his vision (Singer & Revenson, 1996, p. 21). On the other hand, Vygotsky in his sociocultural theory of development opined that the learner learns through social interactions and their culture (Langford, 2005). Therefore, what is to be taught in classrooms should be decided remembering the environment of the learner, his needs, and what is better for him. This research paper helps to develop an understanding of the philosophical perspective of a National Curriculum Framework for Teacher Education-2009.</p>Bhupendra Singh

https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/181
<p>Lot of rural development programmes were carried out by panchayat raj institutions in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir from time to time in order to develop the rural area. The Government of Jammu and Kashmir assures people’s participation in developmental activities and in the local governance institutions with adequate gender, class and caste representation as per the need of the amendment package. But, the level of people’s participation in developmental activities at grassroots level seems to be very low. Moreover, gram panchayats are not adequately accountable to gram Sabha. The idea of participation, as an important part of panchayat raj, has rarely been observed in practice. Against this backdrop, the study is designed to investigate the panchayat representatives in order to understand their role towards implementation of various rural development programmes. An attempt has also been made to fully understand the role of Gram Sabha in panchayati raj system and rural development. A structured interview schedule was administrated for this purpose. Besides, informal discussions and field observations also proved to be helpful in providing inputs to strengthen the arguments in analysis.</p>Younis Sheikh

https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/226
<p>This research paper delves into fair value accounting, exploring its benefits, challenges, and implications for financial reporting. Beginning with its significance and contrast to historical cost accounting, it navigates through its role in global reporting standards. The benefits of transparency, relevance and informed decision-making are weighed against challenges such as subjectivity, volatility's impact, illiquid asset valuation complexity and the potential for manipulation. The effects of fair value on financial statements, disclosure, ratios and valuation are scrutinized. The regulatory framework's intricacies, regulatory responses and global harmonization efforts are assessed. This research paper's concluding reflection underscores fair value's evolving importance in a dynamic financial landscape, emphasizing the need for on-going vigilance and adaptation.</p>Pragnesh Dalwadi

https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/224
<p>Data collection is a very important stage in social science research. In social science research, the data collection stage is very patient and challenging. The data collection methods are an important part of the research. During the collection of data, a researcher should identify the appropriate method of data collection based on the type and source of the data. If the researcher does not use the proper data collection method, they will encounter many difficulties while gathering the data, which may have an impact on their research. Therefore, the selection of data collection methods should be done with the utmost care. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, collecting face-to-face primary data from the research population was better. But when the social distancing era started, data collection in the traditional way in the field of teacher education became a challenging task for researchers. The researchers used several online data collection methods to deal with these challenges. Therefore, in this paper, researchers tried to identify online data collection methods for conducting the study or investigation in teacher education during the COVID-19 era.</p>RubeenaMinhajullah Maseeh

<p>ગુજરાતી સાહિત્યને મધ્યકાલીન અને અર્વાચીન એમ બે વિભાગમાં વહેંચવામાં આવે છે. મધ્યકાલીનયુગમાં સાહિત્ય મોટેભાગે ધર્મકેન્દ્રી જોવા મળતું હતું. નરસિંહ મહેતાથી માંડી દયારામ સુધીનું સાહિત્ય આપણને પદ્ય સ્વરૂપે અને ધર્મકેન્દ્રી જોવા મળે છે. એ સમયે પદ, રાસ, ફાગુ, આખ્યાન, ગરબી, કાફીઓ જેવા સાહિત્યસ્વરૂપો જોવા મળતાં હતાં. આ યુગમાં માત્ર પદ્યમાં જ રચનાઓ જોવા મળે છે.</p> <p>અર્વાચીનકાળને સાહિત્ય પ્રમાણે જુદા-જુદા યુગવિભાજનમાં મુકવામાં આવેલ છે. સુધારકયુગ, પંડિતયુગ, ગાંધીયુગ, અનુગાંધીયુગ, આધુનિકયુગ અને અનુઆધુનિકયુગ. ગુજરાતી સાહિત્યમાં દરેક યુગમાં તત્કાલીન પરિસ્થિતિ પ્રમાણે સાહિત્યમાં તેની છાપ જોવા મળે છે. અર્વાચીનયુગમાં ગદ્યમાં સાહિત્ય લખવાની શરૂઆત સુધારકયુગથી થઈ ગઈ હતી. આ યુગમાં વાર્તા, આત્મકથા, નિબંધ, ચરિત્રલેખન, નવલકથા, નાટક વગેરે સાહિત્ય સ્વરૂપો ખેડાયા. આ સાથે બાળસાહિત્ય પણ લખવાની શરૂઆત ધીમે ધીમે થવા લાગી. જેમાં જુદાં જુદાં સ્વરૂપો ખેડાવા લાગ્યા.</p> <p>ગુજરાતી બાળસાહિત્યને શિશુસાહિત્ય અને બાળસાહિત્ય એમ બે વિભાગ પાડવામાં આવેલ છે. જેમાં બાળકની વયને આધારિત સાહિત્ય લખવામાં આવે છે. તેમાં બાળવાર્તા, બાળકવિતા, બાળચરિત્ર, બાળનિબંધ અને બાળનાટક જેવાં સ્વરૂપો જોવા મળે છે.</p> <p>નાટકનું એક સ્વરૂપ તે બાળનાટક. નાટક અને બાળ એકમેક સાથે બિંબ-પ્રતિબિંબ સમાન છે. બાળને જોતાં જ એના પ્રત્યેક વર્તનમાં હાવભાવ, ચેષ્ટા અર્થાત અભિનય જણાય છે. બાળક કંઈ વાત કરે છે તો એકલા મોં વડે જ નથી કરતું, તે કંઈ ગીત ગાય છે તો એકલા કંઠ વડે જ નથી ગાતું, તે આઠે અંગ વડે ગાય છે. હાથના વિવિધ હાવભાવથી વાતનો ભાવ પ્રગટ કર્યા વિના એને સંતોષ થતો નથી. ઘટના મુજબ પોતાના કહેવાનો પૂરો ભાવ સમજાવવા તે દોડી બતાવે છે, કુદી બતાવે છે, કંઈક કંઈક ક્રિયાઓને અભિનય કરીને બતાવે છે, આંખોના મચકારા અને ચહેરાના હસવાના ભાવ પણ ઘટના પ્રમાણે ઉમેરતું રહે છે. જાણે કોઈ તાલીમ પામેલ નટ હોય તેમ તેની આંગિક ચેષ્ટાઓ ચાલે છે. આ ચેષ્ટાઓમાં કળા, સૌષ્ઠવ અને સુડોળપણું સારા પ્રમાણમાં આવી જતું હોય છે. નાટ્યાભિનયની રૂઢિઓ અને મુદ્રાઓ તે પોતાના અભિનયમાં ઉતારી ન શકે પરંતુ સ્વકલ્પનાનુસારના કળા-કૌશલ એના અભિનયોમાં આવ્યા વિના રહેતાં નથી. ઘટનાની સાથે અને પાત્રની સાથે તે એટલું એકરૂપ બની જાય છે કે નાટ્યકળા તેના વર્તનમાં કુદરતી રીતે આવી બેસે છે.</p> <p>નાટકનો વિચાર હંમેશા રંગભૂમિના સંદર્ભે થતો હોય છે. નાટકો ભજવાય છે, ભજવવા માટે હોય છે. તેથી તે રીતે વિચાર થાય એ પણ સ્વાભાવિક છે. પરંતુ તેથી કરીને નાટકો એ સાહિત્ય નથી એવું થોડું છે? ‘કાવ્યેષુ નાટક રમ્ય’ એમ કહીને સાહિત્યમાં રમ્ય તો નાટક જ છે એવી સ્થાપના થઈ છે. વળી, બાળકોના શિક્ષણની દ્રષ્ટીએ પણ બાળનાટકો અત્યંત મહત્વનાં છે.</p>શકુંતલાબેન ચાવડાપ્રશાંત પટેલ

2023-09-142023-09-142215515910.47413/vidya.v2i2.225THE OLD AGE AND DEATH – THE DEEPEST CRITICAL THOUGHT
https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/231
<p>The elderly were shielded by the depersonalization of medicine brought on by individualism and competitiveness. As they get closer to the end of their lives, older patients frequently need to make peace with themselves and acknowledge their accomplishments and shortcomings. Medical professionals should therefore be considerate while speaking with patients and providing them with information. The terror of the elderly is not death itself, but rather their current state of abandonment. Death denial and terror are nonsensical because life is only given with the condition that it will end one day. In this context, the objectives of medical care are to accompany and lessen pain, not necessarily to provide therapies that attempt to extend biological life. Today's world has undergone significant changes as a result of the denial of death, which directly affect how those who are terminally ill are cared for. There has also been a significant change in how terminally ill persons pass away. This essay offers a succinct history of death as well as a look at some of the religious teachings on pain and death. It also talks on how the medicalization of death stops the dying person from communicating with their surroundings, paying off debts, forgiving and receiving forgiveness, and being fully himself in the short time they have left. This essay concludes that the correct function for a doctor to play is to ‘listen’ to what the patient needs. By doing this, the doctor's profession will become a more magnificent, decent, humane, and ennobling activity.</p>Gautam Makwana

https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/233
<p>The global economy may be expanding, but the Indian software industry is still expanding at a steady rate. As part of the larger business finance role, financial analysis entails looking at historical data to learn more about a company's present and future financial health. IT has a great potential to be an engine of accelerated economic growth, efficiency, improvement for all economic sectors, strengthening India's export market position, reducing trade deficit, and a tool for effective governance. It improves access to information, safeguards consumers, offers access to government services, increases the effectiveness of skill development and training, enhances the liberation of health services, and encourages simplicity. According to the results of the current study, Tata Consultancy Services underwent "A study on financial condition and performance analysis with special reference to Tata Consultancy Services" during a five-year period from 2017–2018 to 2021–2022. The information was taken from the company's annual reports, and books and journals were used to gain more pertinent material. The researcher used Tata Consultancy Services for their study in order to understand the financial ratio in the IT sector. The purpose of this research paper is to determine the financial stability of "TATA CONSULTANCY SERVICES" by analysing the data with the aid of various accounting and statistical approaches.</p>Mehulkumar Chauhan

https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/239
<p>Hatha Yoga Pradeepika (HYP), Gherand Samhita (GS) and Yogattvopanishad (YTU) are very profound ‘WE ARE WHAT WE EAT’ Diet is an important aspect of our daily life. Life can not be sustained without adequate nourishment. Food has been much insisted upon by the scriptures of Hinduism, as the Physical, Mental and Spiritual. The present time science of food about nourishment has little, if any, knowledge about the contribution of food towards mental culture. It emphasizes merely the physical well-being. Yoga teaches us that the cause of disease is due to Under (Ajirnatvam), Over (Atijirnatvam), Wrong (Kujirnatvam) digestion.</p> <p>Yoga also teaches about the approach to food, the types of food as well as the importance of timing and moderation in diet. Pathya (wholesome diet and regimen) is defined as the Ahara (Diet) and Vihara (regimen) that give proper nutrition to body and mind, clear the micro channels of Body (Pantha/Marga/Srotas), and provide happiness; that opposite is Apathya (unwholesome diet and regimen).</p>Sarangi KaneriyaNehal Dave

https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/232
<p>Middle Age and Aging is a collection of behavioral scientists' research on aging, focusing on social and psychological adaptations for individuals in their second half of life. It highlights age-status, age-sex roles, psychological changes, social-psychological theories, attitudes towards health, family roles, work, retirement, leisure, and cultural settings. The suggestion suggests studying middle age as a distinct life stage with distinctive characteristics, drawing social science attention to its adaptability and plasticity, focusing on context, culture, biological growth, and individual development. Middle age, a social concept influenced by life expectancy growth, has significantly altered human life, including sexuality, gender roles, and life phases, necessitating the creation of an analytical category.</p>Gautam Makwana

https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/217
<p>This article delves into the topic of gender-specific differences in parenting and examines the importance of adopting a gender-responsive parenting approach. Parenting practices have traditionally been influenced by gender roles and stereotypes, with mothers and fathers often adopting distinct styles in raising their children. However, with changing societal norms and a deeper understanding of gender dynamics, the concept of gender-responsive parenting has emerged.</p> <p>The article reviews existing research on communication patterns, discipline styles, and gender stereotypes prevalent in parenting. It highlights that mothers tend to emphasize emotional expression and communication, while fathers may lean towards more authoritative and disciplinary methods. Moreover, parents inadvertently perpetuate gender stereotypes by assigning gender-specific activities and expectations to their children.</p> <p>The article underscores the significance of challenging traditional gender norms and promoting gender-inclusive parenting practices. By encouraging open communication and emotional expression in both boys and girls, parents can foster empathy and emotional intelligence. An equitable division of household and caregiving responsibilities is also crucial in nurturing healthier parent-child relationships.</p> <p>The study emphasizes the need for parents to adopt a gender-responsive approach, breaking away from rigid gender stereotypes, and allowing children the freedom to express themselves authentically. By understanding and embracing gender-responsive parenting, we can create a more inclusive and accepting society where all children can flourish, irrespective of their gender. The article concludes with practical recommendations to help parents adopt gender-responsive parenting strategies effectively.</p>Malvika KamdarVipul Patel

https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/242
<p>A nematode is a roundworm, a member of the phylum Nematoda. They are the most abundant multicellular animals on Earth, with over 28,000 known species. Nematodes can be found in almost all environments, including soil, water, plants, animals, and even the human body. There are many enzymes that have been derived from nematodes like Cellulase, Amylase, Pectinase, Lignin Digesting enzymes, Hemicellulase etc. These enzymes are important for a variety of industrial and agricultural applications. They are used to make food, paper, biofuels, and bioplastics. They are also used to improve the digestibility of plant material for livestock. These enzymes are essential for the breakdown of plant cell walls, which makes it possible to use these materials for a variety of purposes. Cellulase is used to make biofuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel. It is also used to make paper, textiles, and bioplastics. Amylase is used to make bread, beer, and other food products. It is also used to make industrial chemicals, such as glucose syrup and starch acetate. Pectinase is used to make fruit juices and wine. It is also used to make textiles and other industrial products. Lignin-digesting enzymes are used to make paper, biofuels, and bioplastics. They are also used to treat soil contamination and to improve the digestibility of plant material for livestock. Hemicellulase is used to make food, paper, and biofuels. It is also used to improve the digestibility of plant material for livestock.</p>Hitesh ChauhanThakar PrakashkumarMohsin AliLinz George

https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/251
<p><em>Adjustment is ongoing process where persons keep adjusting their behavior according to the needs and circumstances of the environment. This helps to balance between one’s needs and desires. Adjustment is the challenge for each and every living being and more challenging for the adolescent. Since it is the rapid phase of growth and development of their physical, emotions and sexual. Most of adolescence faced difficulty in adjusting themselves socially, educationally and emotionally into their day-to-day life. The aim of the present research was to study the emotional adjustment, social adjustment and educational adjustment of male and female adolescents in relation to gender. The sample consisted of 120 adolescents that was collected from different school of Ahmedabad city. 60 males and 60 females from age group of 14 years to 18 years were selected. Here gender was taken as an independent variable whereas different areas of adjustment such as emotional adjustment, social adjustment and educational adjustment were taken as dependent variables. For data collection, an adjustment inventory for school students by A.K. Sinha and R.P. Singh was used. To analyze the data, a ‘t’ test was used. Results indicate that significant differences were found between male and female adolescents in relation to emotional, social, educational, and adjustment.</em></p>Sonal ShahPrachi Shah

https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/245
<p>The present study mainly focused on identifying the efficiency of polypore mushrooms and exploring their medicinal value. In this experiment, the antioxidant and antimicrobial potentials of three mushrooms Trametes pubescens (Schumach.) Pilat, Spongipellis pachyodon (Pers.) Kotl. & Pouzar and Inonotus hispidus (Bull.) P. Karst. were tested along with their qualitative and quantitative analysis. The antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of methanolic crude extracts were determined using the Frap assay (ferric reducing antioxidant power) and agar well diffusion method respectively. The methanolic extracts of all three mushrooms revealed the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, proteins, phenolics, flavonoids, saponins, terpenoids, and cardiac glycosides. The antioxidant activity of Trametes pubescens, Spongipellis pachyodon, and Inonotus hispidus found to be 19.83±0.5, 38.5±0.8 and 39.5± 0.9 mg Fe (Ⅱ)/g of sample, respectively. The antimicrobial activity was tested against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Psuedomonas species. The inhibition zone was measured, in which all three species show maximum inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus. The correlation coefficient showed a positive relationship between total flavonoid content and antioxidant activity (r = 0.9). The Fourier Transformed infrared (FTIR) profiling indicates the presence of functional groups in these species for its pharmaceutical activities.</p>Hiral ChaudharyNainesh ModiRakesh Rawal

https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/261
<p>Mungbean (<em>Vigna radiata </em>(L.) R. Wilczek) is versatile crop mainly grown in subtropical regions with wide-ranging agricultural and nutritional benefits. Despite being the largest producer in the world, the productivity of mungbean is well below in India due to limited morphological variability observed in working collection of mungbean. In the present investigation, we have conducted morphological characterization and multivariate analysis to explore the genetic diversity among the 26 genotypes of mungbean (<em>Vigna radiata </em>(L.) R. Wilczek). These 26 accessions of mungbean procured from the Pulses Research Station, SDAU, Gujarat, and local markets were grown for evaluation in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications during June to August 2021. Morphological observations recorded at different stages of life for the grown genotypes. Significant variations observed in morphological traits of different genotypes. Principal component analysis and cluster analysis discriminated following genotypes such as VM, GM-6, SKNM-1608, SKNM-1701, SKNM-1704, SKNM-1801, SKNM-1802, SKNM-1806, and SKNM-1808 based on the morphological observations noted above. These genotypes can be recommended to use as parent for further plant breeding programmes to develop new variety and conduct field trials for different locations and climates.</p>Krishna DesaiNainesh Modi

https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/267
<p>Anthocyanins are natural occurring pigment. Anthocyanins belong to category of flavonoids which are water – soluble found in a variety of fruits and vegetables. In fruits, vegetables, and cereals, anthocyanins are the pigments which give them their red, violet, and blue colours for example purple and red berries, plums, grapes, cabbage, apples, etc., and other food. Because of high level of anthocyanins, it used as natural colorants. Anthocyanins are flavonoid compounds produced by the phenylpropanoid route known as anthocyanidin glucosides. The six most prevalent anthocyanidins are cyanidin, delphinidin, malvidin, peonidin, petunidin, and pelargonidin. Plants are shielded from oxidizers by several phenolic hydroxyl groups present in the structure anthocyanins. This review paper shows the different activity and properties shown by the anthocyanins which are used to cure the diseases. they done many antioxidants activity by using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazy), antimicrobial activity done by gram-positive bacterial test cultures, TNF-stimulated expression of the endothelial adhesion molecules VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 was used to assess the anti-inflammatory effects of various PASs.</p>Mayuree RanaShivani PatelNainesh Modi
