AISSMS College of Pharmacy - Extracurricular Activities-Impact On Personality And Career

 

Participating in extracurricular activities will help to build up all the required qualities to develop your personality.

Events like cultural programs, sports activities and NSS camps occur in almost every college, but the participant ratio is hardly as expected. It is not about the interest all the time. There can be different reasons hidden behind this. For example, one might feel less confident or lack courage to ask or say anything in front of so many people; shy nature could become a difficulty in expressing freely; one might find it tough to interact with strangers. But it is normal to feel this way. If you also relate to any of these challenges, it is totally alright to accept that but what is not correct is not improving this. It is merely a fear.

We live in the era of artificial intelligence where the world has become very competitive. This constantly demands you to push yourself towards grooming your personality. Only studies can make your living a little boring and ultimately affect your academic results too. Your brain always needs stimulation and extracurricular activities will give you that opportunity. You might not get likely results in the first time when you start participating but that doesn’t matter either.

You can choose your own activity. If you enjoy playing, then you can join some sports. It will help you stay healthy. Step into cultural activities; it will comfort your hesitation to interact with new people. Music, drawing, painting, social work; these activities build your time in yet another constructive way. Cherry on the top, if you stay consistent in participating in these extracurricular activities, you might find a profession in your hobby or passion.

AISSMS Polytechnic - Next Trends In The Electronics

For several years only silicon was used in electronics, but considering the current advances and availability in the materials, engineering has announced new paths for electronics.

Some new substitutes include the following:
1. 2-D electronics

Background – The growing research attention towards 2D semiconductors started with a discovery by Geim and Novoselov et al. in 2004, when they reported a new semiconducting material graphene. Carbon atoms in graphene form a hexagonal two-dimensional lattice, and this atom-thick layer draws attention due to its high electrical and thermal conductivity, superior mechanical strength, very high carrier motilities and very high tensile strength.

In 2010, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences decided to award the Nobel Prize in Physics for “groundbreaking experiments” in graphene research to Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov.

Examples- Transistors, chemical sensors, biological sensors, environmental sensors. Photo detectors, LASERS, and LEDs are some other 2D devices. Several companies around the world, including Samsung and Apple are developing applications based on graphene.

2. Spintronics

Background- Spintronics is known as magneto electronics and is developed from the discoveries in the 1980s, concerning spin-dependent electron transport phenomena in solid-state devices. Until now, spintronic technology has been experienced in information-storage devices, such as hard drives and spin-based transistors. The magnetic layers in the spintronic devices serve as spin polarizers or analyzers separated by non-magnetic layers through which the spin-polarized electrons are transmitted.

Properties-

• The capability to operate four instead of only two, plus, defined logic states results in greater information-processing power, higher data transfer speed, and higher information-storage capacity.
• It is estimated that spin transport electronic devices will be smaller, more flexible, and more tough compared to their silicon counterparts.
• Spintronic devices provide a new mode to manipulate the magnetization of magnetic nanostructures by a spin-polarized current.

3. Memristor

Background– The memory–resistor i.e. Memristor is a fundamental two-terminal circuit element defined as a nonlinear relationship between the integral of the voltage and the integral of the current. Each electronic circuit is made up of three passive components such as inductors, capacitors, and resistors, but there is a fourth component called memristor; these are semiconductors used to create low power consuming storage devices. Memristors are non-volatile components that have very high storage as well as speed. As the name directs, memristor performs equally like a conventional resistor but it has memory in the sense that its instantaneous resistance depends on the history of its input.

Properties-

• High speed transistors and flexible displays for mobile devices.
• Ultrasensitive and label free sensors and more efficient energy storage devices.

4. Organic Electronics

Background– Organic electronics deal with organic materials, such as polymers or small molecules. The resources used in this kind of technology are carbon-based, which are similar to the molecules of living things. Another class of organic semiconductors is polymers which are soluble in common solvents such as Chloroform or Xylene and their films can be formed by even simpler methods of spin coating.

Properties–

• Cost effective, mechanical flexibility, adaptable to synthesis processes, and lightweight as compared to conventional electronic materials making organic electronics an appropriate choice for definite applications.

AISSMS College Of Pharmacy - Are Students Ready For Online Learning ?

Due to COVID 19 Pandemic, the education process in developing countries like India is drastically changing. Although it is common practice in developed countries for educators to use online teaching or flipped classroom methodologies; the education in India is majorly by traditional classroom teaching with face to face interaction.

On the background of COVID 19 pandemic lockdown and physical distancing, the teachers have quickly undergone learning, training and adoption of online teaching pedagogy. But for effective online learning, the students also have to develop some of the skills.

Here Are Few Expectations From Learners

Perseverance - Students must be able to tackle technical problems, practice regularly on each lecture and ask for help whenever needed

Get Organized - Although e-content avails your flexibility in online learning but for classes with a set time table students must be able to manage time well. Have to check on the syllabus for a subject, Stick to a routine class schedule and complete assignments on time. Study the e-books, course material and have a revision of prior class before attending the next one. Be present in the online class at least 5 minutes before.

Communication Skills - Don’t hesitate to communicate with your teacher. Use of appropriate way of communication tools like a chat box, text messaging, email to professor will help solve your problem. Be open-minded and reach to your professor.

Technical Skills - Students can go through online tutorials for effective use of an online platform for learning. Check hardware and software requirements and get aligned accordingly.

Reading and Writing Skills - Students should get comfortable reading a document on a mobile/computer screen and learn to type along. Many of online assignments will require writing short answers.

Set Up Your Workspace (Study Environment) - Choose a quiet place and stay away from distractions (Avoid taking calls, messaging, playing games during lecture). Let other family and friends know your lecture schedule, so they will not disturb you. Use apps like Freedom or Cold Turkey to boundary disruptions and block social media sites that might seek your attention during lectures.

Motivation -And most important motivation . Keep yourself active and participative during class by raising hands, asking and answering questions in chatbox. Don’t be scared to reach out to your professor to ask relevant questions.

If you do lag behind, speak up. Remember teachers are always ready to help students

Happy Learning!

AISSMS Institute Of Management - The Visionary King Rajarshi Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj's strategy of Women Empowerment for Social Prosperity

Rajarshi Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj, during his rule, attempted to liberate the Non-Brahmin class from the grip of baised casteism. He enacted various laws against traditional standing and religion and offered significance to the current position of women in society. He committed himself to the social transformation idea of Mahatma Jyotiba Phule.

Nevertheless, he thought that education could not serve as a tool for the evolution and progress of Non-Brahmins and Dalits. So, he legislated various laws to advance social equality, justice, and value in his rule. Shahu Maharaj resuscitated the ‘Satyashodhak Samaj’ of Mahatma Jyotiba Phule. He was a passionate supporter of ideologies by Mahatma Jyotiba Phule. He understood the importance of education in the life of Bahujan Samaj.

Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj observed the situation and genuinely thought about improving the lives of the women in the dominant male society. He assessed the issues of women and concluded that education is not the only answer. He sensed the necessity of robust and enforceable laws to prevent the exploitation of the women in the current societal caste and varna system. His commitment to creating particular laws for women’s empowerment was incredible. They are significant today.

The legislated laws by Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj are as follows:

1. Free and Compulsory Primary Education to All Act, 1917

2. Inter-caste and Inter-religion Marriage Act, 1919

3. Widow Remarriage Act,1917

4. Divorce Act and Security of Women Rights after Divorce Act,1919

5. The Marriage Registration Act, 1919

6. The Prevention of Harassment to Women Act, 1919

7. Rights of Illegitimate Hindu Children and Jogtini Act, 1920

The acts legislated by Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj for the empowerment of women are still relevant in today’s context. Government of India legislated acts for the above-discussed issues after freedom which indicates how visionary was Shahu Maharaj about the empowerment of the women.
