Background: Many public health topics in the subject of Community Medicine have a psycho sociocultural aspect to them, and these are taught by traditional methods like didactic lectures with little or no interaction of faculty and students. This limits the comprehensive understanding of the students regarding sensitive issues. There is a felt need to improve the knowledge and understanding of many of these competencies among students through available cinema movies addressing these concepts.

The ESCRT protein complexes are sequentially assembled which interact amongst each other to form a functional ESCRT machinery. Deregulation of these events are shown to be involved in various disease development including tumor formation and viral infections.

Though reports have been published about the relaxation effect during both verbal "OM" chanting and listening to "OM" chanting, there is a paucity of literature concerning the cortical areas activated/deactivated after verbal "OM" chanting and listening to "OM" chanting using quantitative electro-encephalography (qEEG).
Purpose: The objective of this study was to compare the effects of verbal "OM" chanting and listening to "OM" chanting on cortical sources as compared to baseline, as assessed by qEEG.
Cooperative CO photoreduction with tailored organic synthesis offers a potent avenue for harnessing concurrently generated electrons and holes, facilitating the creation of both solar fuels and specialized chemical compounds. However, controlling the crystallization and morphologies of metal-free molecular nanostructures with exceptional photocatalytic activities toward CO reduction remains a significant challenge. These hurdles encompass insufficient CO activation potential, sluggish multielectron processes, delayed charge-separation kinetics, inadequate storage of long-lived photoexcitons, unfavorable thermodynamic conditions, and the precise control of product selectivity.
