Medicinal plants are those plants whose activity imposed on different ailments. The plants of Medicinal importance are used since time immemorial. People of the globe use medicinal plants for various purposes. Medicinal plants act on different diseases, even in a raw form used for various purposes. The poultice, juice or latex are used widely by a large number of people to cure pain, as anti-bleeding agent and coagulant during instant exposure may be the time of temporal treatment. The knowledge and extension activity on medicinal plants depend upon the geographical position and climatic condition also. Therefore, local knowledge on medicinal plants and their conservation is essential. In this book authors have made their articles based on the knowledge gathered from the surroundings. Hope that everybody would be benefitted from this treatise.

Research in colonial studies has traditionally revolved around the historical, political and economic aspects of the colonial regime. The case is no different with the British Empire in India. The Empire was, however, built less by military force and more through cultural reinforcement. To this end, the British engaged many tools – religion, language and sport. Among the three Cs of Victorian England that defined civilisation, Cricket stood on par with Christianity and the Classics. Beyond being a sport, cricket was the Englishman’s representation of his ‘English-ness’ in the colonies and a tool used for colonisation – a scantily researched area. This book traces, through the colonial postulates of Edward Said and Homi K. Bhabha, the colonial path cricket took to its growth in the colony. The game moved from the ‘exclusivity’ of the English to the ‘mimicry’ of the natives as a part of the informal modes of rule employed in a colonial framework. Once formal modes were employed in the Empire, phases of ‘cultural reinforcement’ by the colonists followed by ‘patronage’ by the natives took over the spread of the game. Historical narratives are filled with examples supporting each phase in the sport. The very same tool that was used to establish the native’s ‘effeminacy’ was used, finally, to invert the hegemony. The book argues how decolonisation, in India’s case, did not occur through ‘rejection’ of the colonial culture, but, paradoxically, through ‘adaptation’ and ‘assimilation’ in clear colonial terms. This discussion achieves recency and relevance through its exposition of the telling decolonising moves in cricket to ‘subvert authority’ through the IPL. Mikhail Bakhtin’s theory of the carnival helps view the shift of cricket from the colonial to the carnival mode.

The book covers many areas of Medicinal plants research including traditional and scientific research that boost extensional activities in India and abroad. Many plants incorporated in India but many years the traditional use practice is going on so these are important tools to use the components in herbal therapy. People use traditionally as well as mixed preparations to share their knowledge. In industry, many components have ben widely used to prepare medicines that is economic. In addition to the applied aspects it boosts ecological value because of the wide use of components as living parts or the products in India and abroad. The articles would convey the message for long term use and wide preservation techniques to conserve the species in a global basis.

Our Universe is majestic, magnificent in its splendour and deeply mysterious at the same time. Throughout this book, we shall try to act as Cosmic Detectives. Through careful observation of some very elementary clues scattered across the sky, we try to gradually discover some of the deepest and darkest secrets or mysteries of the Universe. From our familiar shoreline on the Earth, we dare to venture into the harrowing depths of vast unknown Cosmic abyss. Believe me, it will be a fascinating journey indeed!

The impact of COVID-19 was worst on women during this pandemic. Women were affected more than men by the social and economic effects of this pandemic. To understand and mitigate the various issues on women during this pandemic, a NATIONAL WEBINAR on “Peace, Security and Justice: Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Women” was organized by Women Cell, Bahona College in collaboration with IQAC, Bahona College, Jorhat, Assam on 20-21 July 2020 during the lockdown period due to COVID-19. More than 1200 participants all over India participated in that webinar and many of them also expressed their interest in submitting their original articles/research papers on various issues related to the theme of the webinar. A good number of articles/research papers were received which were decided to publish in the form of an Edited Book after these were reviewed by the Expert Committee and entitled “COVID-19: Negotiating the Immediate and Beyond”. The contributors of this book are leading academicians, research scholars, and students from all over this country who actively participated in this webinar and enlightened this book with their valuable knowledge. Women are the backbone of any society and contribute significantly to the betterment of any society. Without them, no society exists. But still, during this pandemic situation due to COVID-19 they were the worst sufferers in almost all sectors in the society. Therefore, the aim of this Book was to understand and mitigate the various issues faced by women during this pandemic period on the basis of effective wisdom, learning, and findings of the large resource pool available across the country. This Book is the outcome of all the collaborative efforts of all the contributors. I sincerely hope that this Book will be of great value and a research guide for all of us especially to the women in any society.

The impact of cutting parameters in the confronting procedure for the most part influences the Tool life and Production time of item. The developing rivalry for higher profitability with great surface finish has made the need of utilizing top notch machining instrument. The significant cutting parameters in confronting process chiefly cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut influence the Tool life and Production time of the completed material. This paper reviews the streamlining of cutting parameters in confronting process utilizing Taguchi method. An exceptionally structured symmetrical exhibit of Taguchi is utilized to examine the impact of slicing parameters through the modest number of analyses. Taguchi technique is an integral asset of improvement. ANOVA is utilized to discover which input parameters altogether influence the execution attributes. Sign to Noise (S/N) proportion is utilized to gauge the varieties of test information. 1. INTRODUCTION Turning is a machining procedure used to get the ideal element of round metal. The primary objective in present mechanical period is to create minimal effort quality item with required measurements in an optimum time. Therefore, the optimum cutting parameters are to be perceived first. In turning, the metal is in rotational movement and a cutting tool is utilized to shear away the undesired metals. This procedure requires lathe machine or turning machine, cutting tool, work piece and fixture. The work piece is fixed in the machine chuck and is pivoted at rapid. The cutting tool is taken care of in corresponding to the hub of turn. During this machining procedure the cutting parameters profoundly relies on the work piece, cutting tool material, and so on. These are dictated by understanding or machine catalogue. Surface roughness, Tool life and machining time is a widely used attribute of product quality and in most cases a technical necessity for mechanical products. Thus the optimum selection of cutting parameters such as feed rate, depth of cut, cutting speed, etc, generates optimum conditions during machining and becomes the main exigency of manufacturing industry. Surface roughness, Tool life and machining time is an important criterion to find the quality of a surface. It is an important response parameter. In machining process various parameters are: Input Parameters: Cutting speed, Feed rate, Depth of cut, Insert radius, Cutting fluid, etc. Output Parameters: surface roughness, Tool life and machining time.

such as very simple manner used under this methods and techniques we are known.

This book has all non-clinical chapters, as for all clinical chapters I will be publishing the second book soon. These standards should be used by all healthcare service leaders in hospital commissioning, operations, quality improvement, patient safety and risk management.
