Background: Dementia care is incomplete without active caregiver involvement. Yet, existing cognitive interventions often overlook this crucial aspect. This study aims to develop and evaluate the feasibility of a Caregiver Driven Cognitive Training (CDCT) program in the Indian context, recognizing caregivers as essential partners in the care process.

Toward Resilient Maternal, Neonatal and Child Health Care: A Qualitative Study Involving Afghan Refugee Women in Pakistan.

Background: Afghan refugees in Pakistan, particularly in Quetta, Balochistan, encounter formidable barriers in accessing maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) services. These challenges have been intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic and entrenched systemic health inequities.

Methods: This qualitative study, conducted from February to April 2023, aimed to assess the obstacles within health systems and community environments that hinder MNCH service access among Afghan refugees.

Unveiling the potential of Hamigeran-B from marine sponges as a probable inhibitor of Nipah virus RDRP through molecular modelling and dynamics simulation studies.

The Nipah virus (NiV) is an emerging pathogenic paramyxovirus that causes severe viral infection with a high mortality rate. This study aimed to model the effectual binding of marine sponge-derived natural compounds (MSdNCs) towards RNA-directed RNA polymerase (RdRp) of NiV. Based on the functional relevance, RdRp of NiV was selected as the prospective molecular target and 3D-structure, not available in its native form, was modelled.

Enhanced Drive Current in 10 nm Channel Length Gate-All-Around Field-Effect Transistor Using Ultrathin Strained Si/SiGe Channel.

The continuous scaling down of MOSFETs is one of the present trends in semiconductor devices to increase device performance. Nevertheless, with scaling down beyond 22 nm technology, the performance of even the newer nanodevices with multi-gate architecture declines with an increase in short channel effects (SCEs). Consequently, to facilitate further increases in the drain current, the use of strained silicon technology provides a better solution.

Sustainable oxalic acid treatment of lignocellulosic fibers for ensuring improved performance of treated fibers based bio PBS composites.

Plant-based macromolecules such as lignocellulosic fibers are one of the promising bio-resources to be utilized as reinforcement for developing sustainable composites. However, due to their hydrophilic nature and weak interfacial bonding with polymer matrices, these fibers are mostly incompatible with biopolymers. The current research endeavor explores the novel eco-friendly oxalic acid (CHO.
