    Determinants of Women’s Empowerment: an Extensive Review of Literature
    (Chitkara University Publications, 2024-04-10) Rajwinder Kaur
    Background: The present study is based solely on existing literature. A qualitative study can be conducted to delve deeper into the specific aspects studied. Incorporating additional studies could yield more comprehensive results. Purpose: Women are playing an important part in the overall growth of social system. Women’s economic and social contributions are essential for every nation’s development. Women empowerment refers to empowering or enabling women to make decisions in life and let them do what they want. Women empowerment is much more significant to any nation’s progress. Methods: The current research approach is review-based descriptive research that relies heavily on secondary sources of data. The study looked at a number of research publications on the key determinants of women empowerment. Results: An extensive past literature is reviewed in order to get final results of the study. The study came up with several determinants of women empowerment in the society. Conclusions: Women have undergone and suffered much more in the male dominated society. Women became more aware of their importance as time passed. Women’s independence arrived as a breath of fresh air because they were not permitted to make decision making for them. There are several factors which affect the empowerment of women in the society.

    Importance of Pharmacovigilance in Ayurveda
    (Chitkara University Publications, 2021-11-08) Susheel Kumar; Rashmi Arora; Ritchu Babbar; Rajwinder Kaur
    Introduction: Ayurveda has been introduced in India around 1500 BC. Ayurvedic medicines are more accepted these days as people are looking out for the natural medications. The major function of this system is to preserve the normal wellness of people and to cure the patient. These medicines, which are generally considered as safer, are now in the aura of doubt, due to some of the recent incidences of Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR), during their usage. Objective: Pharmacovigilance is an important step in Ayurveda to overcome and continuously monitor the ADR. Pharmacovigilance is the law and regulations for pharma industries, which deal with the detection, assessment, monitoring, understanding, prevention and reporting of adverse effects of medicines. Thus, this is the recurrent theme of ayurvedic pharmacology (dravyagunavigyan) and healing (chikitsa). The most important aim of pharmacovigilance, that is to enhance patient care and safety of the drug use, and as a result elevate rational drug use are recurring premise of ayurvedic pharmacology cology (dravyagunavigyan) and therapeutics (chikitsa). Methods: The data was collected from different websites and databases such as PubMed, Biomedical Sciences, Science Direct, Wiley Online Library, Google Scholar, WHO, Bentham science etc. A total of 80 articles were downloaded, studied, categorized and 52 were selected to write the manuscript. Results and Conclusion: There is requirement of an appropriate post-clinical surveillance program for ayurvedic drugs based on its quality, safety, and efficacy, for public health and disease management, which is now accessible in National Pharmacovigilance Programme for ASU (Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani) drugs, Ayurveda has explained a broad hypothesis on homeopathy medicines, in relation with its usage, causal ADR, treatment and its prevention. Spontaneous reporting of ADR related to Ayurveda plays an essential role in the identification and detection of new signals and communicating novel research questions.

    In Silico Evaluation of Reserpine as Potential Anti-Candidal Agent
    (Chitkara University Publications, 2021-05-07) Nidhi Rani; Rajwinder Kaur; Prerna Sharma; Praveen Kumar
    Background: Candida albicans is a fungus that can cause mortality if not treated properly. Lanosterol 14α-demethylase produces Ergosterol, the main sterol in the fungal cell membrane, when the enzyme Lanosterol-demethylase is present (Cytochrome P450DM). This enzyme is a target enzyme for azole antifungal medications. Purpose: In silico evaluation of reserpine as Potential Anti-Candidal agent. Method: The target enzyme was chosen and modelled as part of the project. Molecular docking studies were used to investigate Reserpine’s inhibitory impact on Cytochrome P450. MolegroVirtual Docker was used to conduct molecular docking and Chem sketch was utilised to build compound structures. Result and conclusion: According to the docking research, reserpine exhibited interactions with the demethylase enzyme.
