This is why HR is a key area where data is particularly valuable. Data is an integral part of the HR landscape. Its data repository captures the dynamics of the organization’s people and their workplace interactions. HR data can help organizations uncover more effective strategies for team management, enhance overall company performance, and yield improved business results, especially during times marked by uncertainty and change. A 2022 report by Harvard Business Review Analytic Services found that progressive organizations utilize people data beyond the HR department, and they often combine this people data with business data to deliver critical insights to their decision-makers.</p> K.

Leaf identification plays a crucial role in botanical research, ecological studies, and biodiversity conservation. <em>Phoenix sylvestris</em>, commonly known as the wild date palm or silver date palm, is an economically and ecologically significant palm species. Traditional methods of identifying plant species based on morphological characteristics can be challenging, especially when dealing with closely related species or in cases of morphological variation. In this study, we present a DNA-based approach for the identification of <em>Phoenix sylvestris</em> leaves through DNA extraction, amplification of specific genetic markers, and sequencing. Leaf samples were collected from various geographical locations to encompass genetic diversity. DNA was extracted using a modified CTAB method, and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the nuclear ribosomal DNA was amplified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Sanger sequencing was performed to obtain DNA sequences, which were then compared to reference sequences in public databases for species identification. The results demonstrate the efficacy of this approach in accurately identifying <em>Phoenix sylvestris</em> leaves, even in cases where morphological characteristics may be ambiguous or variable. This DNA-based method provides a reliable tool for rapid and accurate identification of <em>Phoenix sylvestris</em>, contributing to its conservation and management efforts, as well as facilitating research on its ecology, distribution, and evolutionary history. This study presents a multifaceted analysis of <em>P. sylvestris</em> extract, encompassing phytochemical characterization, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer evaluations, along with molecular docking simulations. The phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of various bioactive compounds such as phenolics and flavonoids contributing to its medicinal properties. Assessment of antioxidant activity through DPPH assay demonstrated significant radical scavenging potential, indicating its potential therapeutic application in oxidative stress-related disorders. Moreover, the antimicrobial evaluation against a panel of pathogenic microorganisms highlighted the extract's efficacy in inhibiting microbial growth, suggesting its utility as a natural antimicrobial agent. Furthermore, the anticancer potential was evaluated against various cancer cell lines, revealing promising cytotoxic effects, particularly against specific cancer types. Molecular docking studies provided insights into the interaction between bioactive compounds of <em>P. sylvestris</em> extract and key molecular targets implicated in cancer progression, validating its potential as a source of novel anticancer agents. Overall, this comprehensive investigation underscores the pharmacological significance of <em>P. sylvestris</em> extract, emphasizing its therapeutic versatility and potential for drug discovery and development.</p> Phillips Shamroy R Padmini R Copyright (c) 2024 Phillips Shamroy R, Padmini R https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-06-07 2024-06-07 45 6 1 20 10.53555/jaz.v45i6.4825 Comprehensive Multivariate Analysis Of Rice (Oryza Sativa L.) Genotypes Of Tamil Nadu For Yield And Yield Attributed Traits https://jazindia.com/index.php/jaz/article/view/3621 <p>An experiment was performed to assess the variability parameters for biometrical traits in 104 rice genotypes. Higher estimates of GCV and PCV were found for single plant yield and filled grains per panicle along with high heritability and genetic advance. Single plant yield exhibited significant positive genotypic correlation for most of the yield contributing characters like number of productive tillers, number of filled grains per panicle, number of tillers, panicle length and thousand grain weight. The highest positive direct effects on yield were exhibited by number of filled grains per panicle followed by number of productive tillers at genotypic level for the improvement of rice yield. Estimates of genetic variability analysis exhibited, single plant yield and number of filled grains per panicle are positive for practically all variability factors tested. The study revealed high genetic variability, indicating that the genotypes could be utilized for further rice breeding.</p> Sumithra V Sivakumar S Juliet Hepziba Sheela J Kavitha Pushpam A Arumugam Pillai M Copyright (c) 2024 Sumithra V, Sivakumar S, Juliet Hepziba, Sheela J, Kavitha Pushpam A, Arumugam Pillai M https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-06-11 2024-06-11 45 6 21 27 10.53555/jaz.v45i6.3621
