The antioxidant activity is increasing as there is realization of that formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) have been linked in pathogenesis of several human diseases. Physalis minima L. are commonly known as Country gooseberry, which is widely used in the indigenous system of medicine for the treatment of diuretic, fever and dropsy. The leaves aqueous extract of the plant was studied for its invitro antioxidant activity by two methods viz DPPH radical scavenging assay and Nitric oxide scavenging assay. Its free radical scavenging activity was estimated by IC50 value and the values at various concentrations 5 to 25mg/ml. At 25mg/ml DPPH radical scavenging assay and Nitric oxide assay showed maximum inhibition 92.30% and 75.41% These results clearly indicate that aqueous extract of leaves of Physalis minima is effective in scavenging free radicals and has the potential to be a powerful antioxidant.Keywords

Estimation of major crop yield rates at the district level using calibration estimation technique is reported here when auxiliary information is available at the unit level only for the selected villages within each district and when the sampling design under consideration is two-stage equal probability without replacement. An estimator was developed for the complex sampling design under consideration using the calibration approach. Through evaluation using real data collected from a pilot survey, we found that the proposed calibration estimator performs better than the usual design-based Horvitz-Thompson estimator under two-stage sampling design.Keywords

The companies are expected to discharge their social obligations to benefit society and environment. The transportation and logistics companies work to curb the time and place barriers and for that utilizes the resources from society itself. This study deals with compliance and expenditure of transportation and logistics PSUs in context of CSR along with determining the impact of various CSR parameters on aggregate CSR expenditure. The data of four companies have been studied from 2014-15 to 2020-21 and explained through percentages and descriptive statistics and analyzed through sample t-test, one-way ANOVA and panel regression analysis. The companies across the sector differ in their compliance and expenditure significantly, however do not differ in their approach over the years and the aggregate CSR expenditure gets significantly determined by its various parameters. There is a need of specified guidelines on CSR expenditure to ensure the inclusive growth and efficient contribution towards social activities.Keywords
