The diversity of insects is considered a key element in the ecosystem. Climatic conditions affect the distributional patterns of insects such as change in weather influence population dynamics and insect abundance. The present study was designed to ascertain the faunal diversity and abundance in two districts of Punjab, Pakistan. Insects were collected monthly for one year using light traps. Data were collected measuring the environmental variables, viz. temperature, humidity, and wind speed. Samples were then brought to the laboratory and shifted to vials. After that, the specimens were identified using taxonomic keys and literature. The maximum population recorded from the Hafizabad was 75.66% (N=14509), and the lowest population from the Faisalabad was 24.34% (N=4667). Insects belonging to 11 orders, 68 families, 123 genera, and 140 species were recorded from Hafizabad, while ten orders, 77 families, 145 genera, and 177 species were recorded from Faisalabad. Tanytarsus sp. was the most abundant taxon from both localities. The Shannon diversity (Hʹ) index was recorded as 3.60 and 2.747 from Faisalabad and Hafizabad, respectively. Evenness was recorded highest from Faisalabad (0.6955), and dominance was maximum from Hafizabad (0.4440). The diversity of species was determined to be significantly different from both areas, while abundance from Faisalabad was less due to environmental variable influence. Since insect biomass reduction is critical in the contemporary world and, in-depth studies on insect diversity patterns are helpful for insect conservation plans.

Published: February 2024

Oil is extracted from an aqua-oil mixture using an oil skimmer. It contaminates coastal areas and puts aquatic life at jeopardy by generating an extremely acidic, alkaline, and salty environment. 706 million gallons of used oil find their way into rivers annually, polluting them. Seawater has been tainted by oil spills, harming marine life. Therefore, we propose creating a small boat that may be used as an oil skimmer to remove oil from water.
When a group of these little boats cooperate, spilled oil may be cleaned up and recovered. With two rudders and a DC motor-powered system, the boat is operated by the operator via a remote control. An oil skimmer device on the boat separates oil from water and gathers.

Issue of ‘One Nation, One Election’ in Indian Perspective
Authors: - Dr. Arti Bhatnagar
Published: February 2024

This research examines the potential impacts—both positive and negative—of introducing simultaneous elections across India, known as "One Nation, One Election." This proposed change aims to synchronise national, state, and local election timings to reduce frequent election cycles. The analysis shows that synchronised elections could save significant costs for state and central governments by reducing expenses related to election administration, security, and disruptions in governance. Estimated annual savings could exceed ₹45 billion. The effect on state governments varies; while national issues might overshadow local concerns, state administrations could benefit from more governance-focused time rather than electioneering. This might decrease voter fatigue but could limit expressing dissatisfaction with state governments at different times. From an industry standpoint, synchronised elections offer more stable policies and less political uncertainty. Overall, simultaneous elections promote better governance focus and enhance political and economic stability. The paper provides a comprehensive evaluation based on evidence of the expected pros, cons, costs, and benefits.

A Novel Hybrid PWM Technique for Asymmetric Inverter
Authors: Prasanna Lakshmi , Jyothsna T. R.
Published: February 2024

Multi-Level Inverters (MLIs) are achieving broad popularity owing to the rapid development of power semiconductor devices. The capability of MLIs became recognized as a significant aspect of a system heavily reliant on Pulse Width Modulation(PWM) strategy. The conventional high frequency PWM techniques suffer from significant Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) along with power loss difficulties. This work recommends a hybrid PWM technique for lowering the THD and power loss of VSI adding the benefits of level-shift PWM and Phase-shift PWM. A novel form of carrier signals is employed in the proposed hybrid PWM technique. In contrast to existing PWM techniques, the proposed hybrid PWM technique minimizes switching and conduction power losses. In this work, the proposed PWM scheme is employed for asymmetric multilevel inverter. The proposed configuration is also examined using PLECS software to estimate losses and efficiency. The simulation work is done in the MATLAB/Simulink environment and the OPAL-RT(OP4510) test platform is employed to evaluate topology performance.

Authors: Rogozhin V. B. , Polushin S. G. , Lezova A. A. , Polushina G. E. , Polushin A. S.
Published: February 2024

The isotropic phases of four fractions of a mesogenic comb-shaped polymer were studied using the electric birefringence method. The fractions have either nematic – isotropic melt, or smectic-A – isotropic melt phase transition, depending on the degree of polymerization. All samples showed a structural transition in isotropic phase. Mathematical modeling of the electro-optical properties was performed based on the modified Landau-De Gennes theory using three- order parameters. The reason for the transition in the isotropic phase is the mutual rearrangement of the polar side groups of the polymer as a result of dipole-dipole interaction.

Unemployment and Its Role in Increasing Crime Rates within the Iraqi Society
Authors: Ammar Ghali Abdulkadhim El-Eisawy
Published: February 2024

Unemployment is a complex problem whose dimensions and effects are not confined to the economic aspect solely, but also extend to the political, social, cultural and security aspects. It has great consequences, the first of which is crime and the increase of its rates. Perhaps there is a big difference between the developing communities that are still suffering from economic crises and instability in most fields of life, and suffer from chronic unemployment, which almost takes the form of the heavy legacy passed down from one generation to the next and the developed communities that are thinking of the need to exploit leisure time ideally through the creation of more future job opportunities and the importance of providing generous pensions for aged groups, not to mention the development of service sectors, especially health services and increasing the percentage of those covered by health care and health insurance services. Perhaps the difference between these and those is the attraction factor of security stability, which is the most effective tool for crime prevention and control, rather than the huge money spent by developing communities in building and arming the security

Study on the Oral Health Attitude and Behaviour and the Changes in Dental Plaque According to the Use of Qraycam
Authors: Hyun-Kyung Kang
Published: February 2024

Background/Objectives: The study aimed to identify changes in dental plaque after intraoral application of a disclosing agent in two Qraycam groups and to investigate changes in oral health attitudes and behaviours.Method/Statistical Analysis: The study population consisted of 80 people who participated in the study between May and August 2019. The equipment used was Qraycam and a plaque control records (O’Leary index); oral health attitudes and behaviours were investigated. Differences in participant characteristics according to Qraycam use were analysed by ?2 test, while changes in the PCR(O’Leary index) by area for Qraycam use and non-use groups were analysed by pre-post paired-samples t-test. The influence on the oral health attitudes of the Qraycam use group was analysed by multiple linear regression analysis. All analyses were performed using IBM SPSS ver. 25.0 (IBM Co., Armonk, NY, USA) and the significance level for statistical testing was set to 0.05.Findings: In the Qraycam use group, a decrease in the PCR in the left and right sides showed statistically significant differences (p<0.05), while a change in the total PCR also showed a statistically significant difference (p<0.05), with the right side showing a greater change in dental plaque. In the Qraycam non-use group, there were no statistically significant differences in the decrease in the left, right, and total PCR. In the Qraycam-use group, the biggest influencing factor on oral health attitudes was oral health behaviour (p<0.05).Improvements/Applications: PCR(O’Leary index) decreased significantly in the Qraycam use group, influencing oral health education, attitudes, and behaviours. The active use of Qraycam for community-based oral health activities and clinical dentistry would assist oral health promotion.
Evaluation of Effective Sound Insulation Method for Noise Generated by MRI
Authors: Jung-Hoon Lee
Published: February 2024

Background/Objectives: MRI is a popular method in modern diagnostic medicine. However, MRI equipment produces 65 to 130 kHz noise when operated, which can cause patients to feel anxious or fear enclosed spaces. To lower the level of noise, method such as earplugs and headsets have been used.Method/Statistical Analysis: In this study, the researchers tried to find out the effective sound insulation method by measuring the degree of noise heard by the patients and evaluating the difference of noise by sound insulation material. A sound meter was placed in a water phantom made outside the magnetic field of the MRI to measure the noise using four sequences (EPI, T1, T2, GRE) and compared it to the sound felt by the patient.Findings: As a result, the average noise felt by the patient was measured to be 92.5 dB at EPI, 73.1 dB at T1, 87.4 dB at T2, and finally 74.4 dB at GRE. The average noise when the earplug was worn was measured to be 84.4 dB at EPI, 66.3 dB at T1, 79.4 dB at T2, and 67.7 dB at GRE. The average noise value when the headset was worn was measured to be 78.2 dB at EPI, 61.3 dB at T1, 74.4 dB at T2, and 65.3 dB at GRE. Finally, the average noise when both earplug and headset were simultaneously worn was measured to be 77.4 dB at EPI, 60.5 dB at T1, 73.3 dB at T2, and 63.4 dB at GRE respectively. Based on the above result, the most effective sound insulation was made when both earplug and headset were worn at the same time, the next effective sound insulation method was headset wearing, and the least sound insulation method was earplug wearing.Improvements/Applications: If it is not possible to apply a fundamental management method to eliminate the causes of noise, which is difficult to practice in actual clinical practice, it is suggested that hearing protection gear should be actively used to reduce the degree of noise-exposed to patients.

A medicolegal case is a case of injury or illness where the attending doctor, after taking history and clinicalexamination of the patient, thinks that some investigation by law enforcement agencies is essential to establish andfix responsibility for the case in accordance with the law of the land. It is a responsibility of a registered medicalpractitioner to judge each case properly and in doubtful cases, it is better to inform the police. This saves thedoctor from unnecessary and needless allegations later. This study was carried out retrospectively on Pattern ofMedicolegal Cases reported to casualty department of Pacific Institute of Medical Sciences, Udaipur, a tertiary careteaching hospital from 1st January 2022 to 31st December 2022. The main objectives of the study were to highlightthe pattern of medicolegal cases. Data was collected and analyzed. Out of 297 cases studied, RTA constitutes amajority of cases (61.95%), followed by poisoning (15.83%), trauma by animal (8.08%) and fall from height (4.04%).241 (81.15%) were males and 56 (18.85%) were females. The majority of the victims belonged to 21-30 years of age91 (30.64%).The rural victims constituted 245 (82.50%) compared to the urban counterparts, 52 (17.50%). Maximumnumber of medicolegal cases reported to casualty between 12 pm - 6 pm, 108 (36.36%). Most of the cases werereported during rainy season 117 (39.39%). The study concludes that the burden of medicolegal cases demandsexact fixation of MLC, proper documentation, report submission, prevention and its rational management.

Introduction: Medico-legal audits are an integral part of hospital/clinical audits and involve examination of the hospital records. The clinical audits aim towards improvement of quality of care and hence are limited to the scrutiny of patient’s clinical records. On the other hand, a medico-legal audit aims at the prevention of foreseeable litigations on the hospital and includes the perusal of all the hospital records. Aim: To perform a Medicolegal records audit at a tertiary care hospital Results: Road traffic accidents are the major Medicolegal cases(65%) arriving to the emergency department. Males are more involved in the Medicolegal incidents than females. Conclusion: The medico-legal auditing helps in the necessary changes to be put forth for the better functioning of the hospital.
