A calcaneal spur also called an enthesophyte, is an abnormal bone outgrowth at the inferior part of the calcaneus bone which is a common cause of heel pain. The surgical treatment of plantar fascia release and excision of the spur is available but the complication includes incomplete pain relief and nerve damage may occur. Siddha treatment is one of the best for the management of calcaneal spur. A patient was successfully treated with kattukattal method is presented in this case study. Presentation of the case In this study, we present a case of the calcaneal spur in an adult woman of 36 years who did not have any chronic disease, treated with five sittings of kattukattal without any oral medication. The calcaneal spur was painful, which affected his foot function and was associated with plantar fasciitis. The spur length was measured using a radiograph. Methodology Here the patient is treated externally by kattukattal with Thirugukalli (Euphorbia tortilis), Thaluthalai (Clerodendrum phlomides), Notchi (Vitex negundo) leaves are stir-fried in castor oil and placed inside the banana stem, tied over the heel. This has Anti-inflammatory and Analgesic activity. After the first sitting pain was relieved partially and after the fifth sitting she had a great prognosis. The patient was assessed by LEFS, a self-report questionnaire, and Perceived pain intensity was evaluated by a visual analog scale. Discussion and Results The probable mode of action of kattukattal with heated herbs pacifies the vitiated vathakapha dosha and reduces pain and inflammation. This increases blood circulation at the heel region helps to flush out toxins material from the blood and reduces pain and local inflammation. This case confirms that kattukattal is an easy and economical procedure which can be performed at OPD level and can avoid injections, surgery and other proceeding complications.

Are cryptocurrencies and digital assets in a bubble?
This paper aims to try to conclusively figure out whether cryptocurrencies and digital assets, which some investors call “assets of the future” are in a financial bubble, and using past data aims to find out what will happen if this bubble bursts, and what will be the future of this asset class. This paper hypothesizes that cryptocurrencies are in fact in a bubble, but due to the utility and use cases of this technology, some elements of this asset class may survive and may be able to fulfill the purpose of cryptocurrencies. Through the research conducted in this paper, it is concluded that cryptocurrencies were in an economic bubble, and the bubble burst in 2022, causing massive losses. The paper, however, also concludes that some parts of cryptocurrency may survive and like the hypothesis states may be able to be the future of finance as a whole, and fulfill the initial purpose of why cryptocurrencies were created.

Student attendance recording and performance analysis using a web application.
Smartphones are becoming more preferred companions to users than desktops or notebooks. Knowing that smartphones are most popular with users at the age of around 26, using smartphones to speed up the process of taking attendance by university instructors would save lecturing time and hence enhance the educational process. This paper proposes a system that is based on a QR code, which is displayed for students during or at the beginning of each lecture. The students will need to scan the code in order to confirm their attendance. Face recognition and location detection techniques are also included in the app to verify student identity to eliminate false registrations The proposed model computes numerical reputation values for an entity and its aspects based on opinions collected from various platforms. Our proposed system also offers an advanced visualization tool that displays detailed information about its output.

The Contribution of Social Media in Fueling Rebellion Among Teenagers
Marketing strategists have utilized social media platforms to increase sales, establish brand identity, and raise awareness. However, there are difficulties in converting public participation into financial growth. As a result, the current study looked into the challenges and success of social media marketing in attracting customers. The food retail market in India was the focus of the study because it has a diverse retail pattern and a simultaneous rise in social media use and internet use. The quantitative component of the research helped identify the relevant factors that customers perceive as having a significant impact on social media marketing's efficacy. Interviews with social media strategists were part of the qualitative research component, which helped decipher the implemented strategies as well as the opportunities and challenges associated with social media marketing. Two major Jakarta-based retailers served as the subjects of the study. According to the quantitative results of the survey, consumers did not consider the social aspect of social media marketing to be helpful in achieving their goals. Customers' perceptions of the relevance of social media marketing were found to be significantly influenced by factors such as belief (relevance of social media in obtaining up-to-date information and the capacity to share experiences), community participation (active participation in a retailer's social media page and stimulating the retail brand), monetary (obtaining better prices and free coupons for making purchases), and psychological (seeking a sense of affiliation and belonging in the community and establishing and maintaining relationships with other members).
