Authors: Toledo-Fernández Aldebarán , Betancourt Ocampo Diana , González-González Alejandro
Published: June 2022

Efforts are being made around the world to survey the psychological effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The objective of this study was to describe severity of event-related stress, depression, and anxiety during the second stage of COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico, and to explore associations between these variables, sociodemographic characteristics, and specific concerns about COVID-19. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted in the State of Mexico from April 8th -18th, 2020, in a sample of men and women between 18-60 years-old. Variables were measured with the Impact of Event Scale-6, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, General Anxiety Disorder-7, and a questionnaire of concerns about COVID-19. A total of 5703 participants were analyzed. Around 24% of participants met significant event-related stress, mild levels of depression and anxiety, as well as high values in all concerns about COVID-19, especially regarding financial disruption, worsening of local security and concern of a family member becoming infected. These concerns associated mild-to-moderately with the indicators of psychological distress. Higher values of event-related stress were found in women, individuals with higher educational attainment and those with any current high-risk medical diagnosis, though the effect sizes were mild. Event-related stress, depression, anxiety, and concerns about COVID-19 reached significant levels during the second stage of the pandemic in Mexico though, overall, not a dysfunctional severity. It is important to report tracking of the progression of these variables during the following phases.

Children aged between 10 and 19 years constitute 22.8% of the population (243 million) approximately in India.One in 10 students (10.0%) had
ever used tobacco in any form. Proportion of students currently using any tobacco product was 4.5% (boys: 5.5%; girls: 3.1%). Tobacco use among
adolescent has reached to pandemic levels. Adolescents should be protected against initiation of any tobacco products. They can be taught refusal
skill (How to say NO) on tobacco use to prevent from using tobacco. Once adolescents start using tobacco in childhood, they continue to use
tobacco at adulthood also. The aim of the study wasto assess effectiveness of standardised teaching programme on knowledge and attitude on
Prevention of Tobacco Use for Adolescents at selected schools of Delhi, India. In this study Two group pre-test and post-test design with quasi
experimental approach was used. 200 adolescents, 100 each in intervention and control group were enrolled using simple random sampling. Data
was collected through online and physical mode using structured Knowledge questionnaire and attitude Likert scale. 45-minute standardised
teaching programme was administered to adolescents. Result showed that majority of adolescents were in aged group of 14 yrs with Mean ±SD

COMPAIRING CLINICAL AND RADIOLOGICAL OUTCOME OF LAMINECTOMY VS LAMINOPLASTY FOR CERVICAL SPONDYLOTIC MYELOPATHY: AN INSTITUTIONAL STUDY.
Authors: Barooah R. K. , Saha Debdatta , Anand Ankur
Published: June 2022

Introduction & Background: Laminectomy has been a traditional approach in the operative management of patients suffering from cervical
spondylotic myelopathy. Laminoplasty is an attractive alternative of laminectomy.
Objective: Majority of the previous comparative studies between laminoplasty and laminectomy done in a patient suffering from cervical
spondylotic myelopathy did not show any signicant difference in neurological outcome. Purpose of this study is to compare the clinical outcome
and radiological results following the operation in a similar group of patient at a 12 months of follow-up.
Study Design: Single centered prospective randomized blind control trial.
Materials & Methods: A consecutive series of twenty six patients who underwent laminoplasty for cervical spondylotic myelopathy has been
compared with a similar group of twenty ve matched patients who underwent laminectomy. They were similar in age, gender and ethnicity.
Results: Modied Nurick scale improved from pre-operative average of 2.51 to 1.44 in the laminoplasty group and from pre-operative average of
2.67 to 2.11 in the laminectomy group. Pain improved in 39% and 8% in laminoplasty and laminectomy group respectively. There was some loss of
range of movement in laminoplasty group, although the radiological effectiveness of decompression was greater in laminoplasty group.
Conclusion: Although both laminoplasty and laminectomy are effective at improving the clinical disease severity and quality of life, radiological
results are more favourable in laminoplasty group. We therefore conclude that laminoplasty is an effective alternative to laminectomy in patients
with cervical spondylotic myelopathy or radiculopathy.
A Cost-Effective Tethered-UAV-Based Coherent Near-Field Antenna Measurement System
Authors: Mauermayer Raimund A. M. , Kornprobst Jonas
Published: June 2022

For antenna measurements, the device under test (DUT) is usually transported to an anechoic chamber equipped with a scanner system. To measure on-site, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are a flexible solution as they can precisely maneuver a probe antenna over a surface in the DUT’s near-field region. In this work, the designed multi-rotor UAV enables electromagnetically optimal placement of the probe antenna and effective gravity center re-balacing by payload position adjustment. The on-board software-defined radio (SDR) serves as a dual-channel receiver for the dual-polarized probe and as a signal source. For phase-coherent measurements, the source signal is transmitted to the DUT via an optical fiber tethering the UAV to the ground control station. Power supply cables allow unlimited flight times. A laser-based tracking system originating from virtual reality (VR) applications measures the probe position and orientation. The developed operator software guides the UAV along a trajectory and records the irregularly distributed near-field samples. An inverse equivalent sources solver (IESS) with full probe correction computes equivalent sources for antenna diagnostics and the DUT far field. The deployed components make the system very cost-effective. Still, verification measurements demonstrate its usability and the accuracy of the results for frequencies up to several GHz.
Learning to Navigate Through Reinforcement Across the Sim2Real Gap

Published: June 2022

Amid the recent advances in robotics and machine learning, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have shown evident proliferation across various applications. Consequently, the involvement of UAVs in populated environments has progressively become inevitable, putting forward stringent safety and security measures. In this work, we develop a deep reinforcement learning-based UAV-navigation approach that blends decision making with behavioral intelligence. In particular, a reinforcement learning (RL) agent is trained to instruct the UAV on how to accomplish a goal-oriented task, while assuring the safety of the UAV and its surroundings. Upon arriving at the goal position, the RL agent slows the UAV down preparing it for landing. The safety of the UAV and the environment are attained through a robust collision avoidance capability, embedded into the RL-based navigation system and considers both static and dynamic obstacles in the environment. Training is exclusively carried out in simulation, where a high fidelity UAV controller model is used to perform the simulated maneuver. The proposed approach was tested in simulation and then shown to directly transfer to reality without explicit sim2real gap transfer techniques. Experimental results demonstrated the agent's capability to achieve the navigation task with 90% success rate.
Streaming Tensor-Train Decomposition with Missing Data
Authors: Thanh Le Trung , abed-meraim karim , Linh-Trung Nguyen , hafiane adel
Published: June 2022

Tensor tracking which is referred to as online (adaptive) decomposition of streaming tensors has recently gained much attention in the signal processing community due to the fact that many modern applications generate a huge number of multidimensional data streams over time. In this paper, we propose an effective tensor tracking method via tensor-train format for decomposing high-order incomplete streaming tensors. On the arrival of new data, the proposed algorithm minimizes a weighted least-squares objective function accounting for both missing values and time-variation constraints on the underlying tensor-train cores, thanks to the recursive least-squares technique and the block coordinate descent framework. Our algorithm is fully capable of tensor tracking from noisy, incomplete, and highdimensional observations in both static and time-varying environments. Its tracking ability is validated with several experiments on both synthetic and real data.
Solution of Inverse Source Problems with Distributed Spherical Harmonics Expansions
Authors: Eibert Thomas F. , Ostrzyharczik Daniel , Kornprobst Jonas , Knapp Josef
Published: June 2022

Inverse source solutions for field transformations and diagnostics are mostly working with surface current densities on appropriately defined Huygens surfaces around the test object. This gives excellent modeling flexibility, but the handling of the discretized surface current representation requires also substantial computational effort. Distributed spherical harmonics expansions of low order, for example based on a solution space partitioning as used in the multilevel fast multipole method, have somewhat reduced modeling flexibility, but they can save considerable computational effort, and they are, thus, an excellent choice of expansion functions for many practical inverse source problems. We discuss different forms of distributed spherical harmonics expansions comprising purely scalar spherical modes and vector spherical modes. Moreover, we discuss how the different surface source expansions consisting of electric and magnetic surface currents with Love condition or without, or consisting of directive Huygens radiators can be related to corresponding distributed spherical harmonics expansions.
Design and validation of an under-actuated prosthetic hand with adaptive force magnification.
Authors: Kumar Prashant
Published: June 2022

Amputees face significant challenges in performing daily activities after losing an upper limb. Replacing a lost limb with a device with capabilities comparable to a human hand is a keen area of interest for prosthetics researchers. Despite advances in the field of prosthetics, the number of amputees who use these devices remains low. This study presents an open-source, low-cost, and anthropomorphic prosthetic hand solution for people with upper-limb amputations that outperforms currently available devices in terms of usability and biomimetic performance. The work aims to improve the acceptance of these devices among amputees by reducing the cost and improving the performance of these devices.

We briefly discussed how the adaptive force magnification technique could be applied to a prosthetic device to improve biomimetic performance characteristics such as gripping force and velocity. A non-backdriveable modular under-actuated mechanism is designed that synergistically moves the fingers to adapt according to the shape of the object. The developed device costs one order less than the cheapest available prosthetics in the market and is customizable according to the user.

The experiments were conducted to evaluate the biomimetic performance characteristics and the grasping effectiveness of the device in performing activities of daily life.

Authors: Kornprobst Jonas
Published: June 2022

A non-reciprocal self-mixing receive antenna array is presented. First, the principle of the self-mixing concept is explained and it is found that self-mixing receivers achieve a large gain over a wide angular range, which is in contrast to reciprocity. In the second part, the design of a 4×2 antenna array operating from 34 GHz to 39 GHz including the receive amplifier and mixer is introduced. Measurements in an anechoic chamber verify the simulation results, showing promising results for future applications of self-mixing arrays with a wide angular receiving range.
Accurate and Stable Solutions to Electromagnetic Scattering Problems By Means of the Electric Field Integral Equation Augmented by a Weak Combined Source Condition
Authors: Kornprobst Jonas , Eibert Thomas F.
Published: June 2022

The combined source (CS) condition is employed to augment the electric field integral equation (EFIE), whereby the CS condition is implemented as a modification of the weak form Leontovich impedance boundary condition. By doing so, both electric and magnetic surface current densities can be modeled with Rao-Wilton-Glisson (RWG) basis functions. Strict point-wise orthogonality of electric and magnetic currents is not fulfilled. However, rotated RWG functions or Buffa-Christiansen functions, which are both often utilized in method of moments formulations, are avoided. The conditioning of the CS integral equation (CSIE) is improved as compared to the standard EFIE with Love currents, whereas the very good accuracy of the EFIE is retained. Objects that show poor accuracy when solved with magentic field and combined field integral equations, e.g. objects with sharp edges, can be solved very accurately with the proposed CSIE.

Authors: Bordin Claudio , Gomes de Figueredo Caio , Bruno Marcelo
Published: June 2022

In this paper, we introduce new distributed diffusion algorithms to track a sequence of hidden random matrices that evolve on the special orthogonal group. The algorithms are based on the Adapt-then-Combine and the Random Exchange methods, and diffuse Gaussian approximations of posterior densities computed in the Lie algebra of the special orthogonal group. Simulation results show that, in a scenario with strongly nonlinear observation functions, the proposed algorithms perform similarly to the centralized particle filter estimator and can outperform competing Extended Kalman Filters.

True Story of Poly(2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate)-Based Contact Lenses: How Did It Really Happen
Authors: Duskova-Smrckova Miroslava , Podešva Jiří , Michálek Jiří
Published: June 2022

Soft hydrogel contact lenses represent the most famous and commercially successful application of poly(2‑hydroxyethyl methacrylate). The scarcely crosslinked network of this hydrophilic polymer finds its use also in many other fields, be it in (bio)medicine or technology. Moreover, the polymer itself and its crosslinked forms, discovered more or less serendipitously in the early fifties by a group of Czech chemists, is extremely interesting due to its exceptional properties: it readily swells in water, is optically clear, soft, biologically compatible, sufficiently strong, stable, gas-permeable, cheap, and easy to produce. Looking for its as-yet undiscovered qualities and possible utilization still continues. The story of the invention of hydrogel contact lenses was referred to many times in various literary sources which, however, contain numerous errors and misinterpretations. In the present article, we put these records straight and present the correct chronology of the hydrogel contact lenses development including the dramatic patent litigation. A brief overview of the chemical nature, properties, and applications of the constitutive substance of the lenses, i.e., the hydrophilic methacrylate, is also given.

Freedom of the press and democracy
Authors: Kovalenko Iryna
Published: June 2022

This paper is devoted to elucidating the interdependence between freedom of the press and democracy. The author emphasizes that just as modern democracy is impossible without a free press, so freedom of the press is a phantom phenomenon in autocratic regimes, and draws attention to two aspects of this problem: the role of the media in ensuring transparency of political elections and government control. He criticizes the understanding of press freedom as an absolute phenomenon and emphasizes that the institution of the press even in today's most democratic societies experiences various external (from governments and oligarchy) and internal (from media owners and editors) pressures that affect its activities. However, the multiparty system in a democracy requires the publication in the press of different positions and views, as different publications give their sympathy to different political forces, both ruling and opposition. Political pluralism gives birth to the phenomenon of objectivity of the information field. Publication of different positions, different points of view on current social issues, allows consumers of media information to compare them and draw their own conclusions on this basis.

While arguing that freedom of the press is a relative concept, the author notes that in a democracy it may be restricted in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public order in order to prevent riots or crimes, to protect public health, to protect reputation or the rights of others, to prevent the disclosure of information obtained in confidence, or to maintain the authority and impartiality of justice. However, this restriction must meet three conditions: it must be strictly in accordance with the law, have just and legitimate goals, and be necessary and adequate to achieve such goals.
The Challenges of 190 Years of the Spanish versus British Pre-Colonial and Colonial Manipulations of Equatorial Guinea/ Fernando Po / the Bight of Biafra 1778-1968
Authors: Fonju Dr. Njuafac Kenedy
Published: June 2022

The main focus of this paper is to illustrate how the Spanish gained control of Equatorial Guinea during the late 18th and what prompted the British to mark their presence briefly for the continuation of Spanish lucrative imperialistic ambitions in the African Gulf of Guinea. That those European challenges in the zone lasted till the Second half of the 20th Century brings out the main pre-colonial and colonial agents which were appointed by the Spanish and British Monarchical and Republican Governments with a total of 110 appointed in different portfolios to manipulate the destiny of the Africans and looted resources for their home countries in their mission of the so-called civilization of the Black Africans in the forested zones. This is because the young generation of African historians who are shortsighted and thinking of demanding colonial crimes from their main Western European actors of the time have to know which of their agents were appointed and more research can been done on periodical considerations in order to rate the degree of atrocities and colonial crimes committed coupled with the looting of African extracted natural resources for the construction of Europe to the detriment of the African countries and Kingdoms they subdue even larger than their homeland. In 1778, the Spanish gained control of Equatorial Guinea via the Treaty of El Pardo which was an agreement between the Spain Empire and the Kingdom of Portugal. From 1778 to 1810 Spain directed Spanish Guinea through the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata, based in present-day Argentina. This marked the effective beginning of Spanish strength in the African territory and the British once more passed through Fernando Po, linking to the Bight of Biafra to show their presence in this part of the Gulf of Guinea in the name of British suzerainty. The scrutinized of diverse specialized sources and documents enable us to engage on historical method in our analyses using clear statistical table to censor

Summary: Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is an obstruction of the lumen of the pylorus by muscular hypertrophy of the pyloric sphincter fg [1]. It is a rare disease in Africa: a recent publication in Tanzania reported 102 cases in 5 years [10]. Currently the diagnosis is based on abdominal ultrasound and the treatment is surgical. It affects 2 or 3 children out of 1000 and is more common in boys with a ratio of [4]. It occurs between 3 and 6 weeks of life and rarely after 12 weeks. Materials and methods: We conducted a retrospective study from January 2018 to December 2021 using patient records in the pediatric surgery department of the Fousseyni Daou hospital in Kayes. Results: During the study period we had performed 3260 consultations and we had performed 975 surgical interventions in patients hospitalized in the pediatric surgery department. 8 cases of hypertrophy of the pylorus were operated on, i.e. 0.82% of the operations, including 6 boys and 2 girls. The weight of the patients was between 2kg800 and 3kg500. The age of our patients varied between 05 days and 37 days of life 3 patients had been referred to us by the malnutrition unit of our pediatrics department. The hemoglobin level and the rhesus group had been carried out in all the patients and a moderate anemia had been detected in 3 patients. The ionogram had been performed in only 3 of the patients. Ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of pyloric hypertrophy in all patients. A pyloromyotomy was performed in all patients with uncomplicated consequences. Conclusion: Pyloric hypertrophy is a rare pathology in our region (Kayes), the diagnosis is ultrasound and the treatment remains surgical.

Smart Academic Libraries Possibilities Through the Application of the Internet of Things
Authors: Jacobs Lorette
Published: June 2022

Internet of Things (IoT) technologies provide the opportunity for hybrid and digital academic libraries to move towards offering smart library services and access to resources. Within the context of higher education, smart academic libraries are new generation libraries that utilise smart technologies to offer library services and access to resources that are innovative, creative, and infused in technological advancements. Within the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, many higher education institutions revised their modes of teaching and learning towards a hybrid, blended, or even online approach. This forced academic libraries to consider alternative ways of offering information services and resource support. One of these alternatives relates to the use of IoT technologies to create smart academic libraries that can offer varied services and resources, using radio-frequency identification technology, sensors, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence. By following a bricolage design within the constructs of interpretivism, views from different authors were considered to propose an IoT architecture and possibilities towards promoting smart academic libraries. The conceptual relatives theory was used to propose ways in which IoT technologies can be utilised to apply smart technologies, develop smart users, offer smart services, and promote smart governance in an endeavour to reconstruct academic library services that are intelligent, flexible, autonomous, and adaptive. It is envisaged that smart academic libraries will support the creation of a teaching and learning environment where students, academics, and researchers can acquire competencies towards personal and professional growth and development.

Authors: Sadare Olawumi O. , Moothi Kapil , Daramola Michael O.
Published: June 2022

This chapter critically reflects on the potential roles of South African libraries in facilitating the actualisation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN). The implemented UN 2030 Agenda is all-encompassing, facilitating financial, environmental, and communal growth. The attainment of these SDGs will be via an inclusive agenda, leaving no-one behind. Libraries are major institutions that could assist universities to achieve the SDGs by playing a critical role in research and education. The society that is privileged to have unlimited, but controlled access to information will do well in eliminating inequity, in developing sustainable strategies for food security, in adopting quality inclusive education, and in supporting public health. In addition, the society will place more value on research and innovations. To achieve the purpose of this study, a critical review of literature was conducted. Therefore, this chapter highlights some expectations of librarians during this era of knowledge economy. It also highlights possible challenges that libraries could be facing in meeting such expectations due to the unprecedented Covid-19 pandemic. Furthermore, this chapter emphasises the significance of the government’s partnerships and national support to realise the inclusion of access to information, and individual access to information and communication technology in the UN 2030 Agenda. Additionally, suggestions on how the government can support libraries in meeting its expectations towards attaining the SDGs, are recommended. Conclusively, effective partnerships have become a crucial part of library management in the attainment of the SDGs.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma revisão bibliográfica sobre as lesões em corredores de rua e identificar o papel do treinamento de força para prevenção de lesões nesse público. Para a obtenção dos artigos desta revisão foram utilizadas as seguintes bases bibliográficas: PubMed, Google Acadêmico e Scielo. Foi verificado na literatura uma série de fatores de risco para lesões como: distância percorrida, volume de treinamento, duração, idade dos corredores e a sua biomecânica desenvolvida na corrida. Sobre o treinamento de força, ainda é limitado o número de pesquisas que demonstram os aspectos preventivos para lesões em corredores. Foram encontrados somente quatro trabalhos. A maioria aponta para menores porcentagens de lesões ao longo do tempo para os corredores praticantes de treinamento de força em comparação com aqueles que não praticam. Todavia os estudos não relatam as características do treinamento (frequência, volume, intensidade, densidade, etc.). Conclui-se que o treinamento de força pode ser uma ação preventiva para lesões em praticantes de corrida de rua. Porém, ainda são necessárias mais pesquisas para estabelecer o direcionamento das características ideais do treinamento para esse fim (frequência, volume, intensidade, dentre outras variantes do treinamento físico).

Published: June 2022

Background: The low coverage of exclusive breastfeeding shows that not many mothers succeed in exclusive breastfeeding. In post-partum mothers often because the pain experienced after childbirth makes the mother lazy to breastfeed the baby; this can cause the production of breast milk to be uneventful due to lack of stimulation in the breast so that the oxytocin cycle is not smooth and causes breast milk not to come out.

Objectives: This study aimed to find out the Effect of Breast Care and Gymnastics on Mothers with Less Breast Milk Production.

Design: This research design is the study of literature by descriptive methods.

Data Sources: Search articles using the Mendeley app with a period of 2017 to 2021 by entering the keyword" "breast care, breastfeeding mothers, less milk production.  Articles selected based on: Inclusion Criteria that articles related to breast care in nursing mothers, year of publication 2017-2021, international Publications, articles using English, original articles, abstracts, full text, and open access. Exclusion Criteria that articles other than English and It doesn't have DOI. There were 13 articles based on inclusion criteria.

Review Methods: A systematic review method based on established criteria, then collected and made a journal summary including the researcher's name, the year of publication of the journal, the title of the study, the method, and an overview of the results or finding.

Results: The 13 articles that reviewed and met the inclusion criteria, it was concluded that breast care and gymnastics in breastfeeding mothers significantly influenced breast milk production. This is due to the presence of touch in the breast that stimulates the mammary glands.

Conclusion: Breast care and gymnastics have a significant effect on increasing milk production in breastfeeding mothers.

Der Beitrag zeigt die Vorteile der Bilateralen Abkommen im Unterschied zum EWR-Abkommen für die Schweiz auf und entwirft ein modifiziertes Institutionelles Abkommen, das einen echten Rahmen darstellt, der durch sektorielle bilaterale Abkommen ausgefüllt und ergänzt werden kann. Auf diese Weise kann eine Abstimmung über ein Institutionelles Rahmenabkommen von umstrittenen Regelungen entschlackt werden, und politisch brisante Themen können einer Lösung in sektoriellen bilateralen Abkommen zugeführt werden. In den allfälligen Referenden können dann die konkreten Vorteile der vertieften Zusammenarbeit in dem betroffenen Sektor den Zugeständnissen im institutionellen Bereich transparent für das Stimmvolk gegenübergestellt werden.

Climate change impact has adverse effects on water use in crop production. A better crop water use indicators to decide upon the water use policies of that region or country is necessary. Water footprint indicates relationship between water use and crop yield. Rice, sugarcane and banana are the major crops which require a significant amount of water in Lalgudi block of Trichy district in Tamil Nadu.  This study analyzed the total water requirement, blue and green crop evapotranspiration, blue and green crop water use and blue, green and total water footprint for paddy, sugarcane and banana in Lalgudi block. The crop water footprint estimated by using FAO56-Kc for paddy, sugarcane and banana was 2173 m3 ton-1, 304 m3/ton and 501 m3/ton respectively. And by using ClimAdj-Kc, the crop water footprint for paddy, sugarcane and banana was 2228 m3 ton-1, 307 m3/tonand 503 m3/tonrespectively. It was found that quantity of water used for producing per ton of yield was higher in paddy in comparison to banana and sugarcane.

Three timescale i.e. monthly, seasonal and annual rainfall data of Bundelkhand region, Central India, was analyzed for 40 years (1981-2020).  The annual mean average rainfall for the region ranges between 657.7 mm and 1146.4 mm for the studied period with the month August receiving the highest amount of rainfall. The region receives about 90 % of its annual rainfall during South West Monsoon period i.e. from June to September. Temporal trend of rainfall for different timescale was analysed using nonparametric Mann-Kendall test and Sen’s slope estimator. Increasing and decreasing trend were found for the three timescale in which the study was carried out. Annual rainfall trend of Bundelkhand region is found to follow decreasing trend except for Sagar district. A decreasing South West Monsoon rainfall trend was also observed in 11 districts of Bundelkhand region.

The physico-chemical analysis of groundwater quality plays a significant role to manage the water resources for drinking as well as irrigation in the sub-humid and semi-arid agro-climatic areas. In this study, the hydrogeochemical analyses and spatial mapping of groundwater quality in the Jakham River Basin located in the southern part of Rajasthan were investigated.The groundwater quality samples were collected from 76 wells marked on the grid map of 5×5 km2 area.A spatial distribution in sampling location in the basin was prepared using GIS (Geographical information system) tool based on 6 physico-chemical parameters i.e., pH, EC, TDS, Cl, NO3and F.The groundwater quality data from the pre and post-monsoon seasons of 2019-20 were used to carry out a detailed analysis of water quality parameters.The water quality maps for the entire basin have been generated using anIDW interpolation technique for these parameters as per the identified location.The higher value of TDS and EC were found in the south-eastern part and along the roadside of study area, which were dominated by agriculture activities and industrial influence. The concentration was observed higher in the post-monsoon period. For EC and TDS, major part of the (>50%) of the study area comes under the safe limit of potable water. Major part of the basin witnessed fluoride concentration (0.40-80 mg/l) for both the season, which is lower than the permissible limit. Higher NO3 concentration was observed after the rainy season. The influence of geogenic activities could be clearly seen in the groundwater quality of the basin. Theresultant map shows that the entire basin has optimally goodgroundwater quality for human consumption. Hence, this study provides suggestion to prepare strategies for the proper management and augmentation of the groundwater condition in the Jakham River Basin.

An exploration was conducted in the year 2017-2018 at College of Horticulture, Bagalkot, Karnataka, India to evaluate nutritional quality of dehydrated spine gourd (Momordica dioica Roxb.) slices as influenced by different pre-treatments. Spine gourd is a high value underexploited vegetable which is rich in nutrition, medicinal value and also having potential to cure many diseases and disorders with good cultivation potential. In order to enhance its availability in the offseason along with proper retention of nutritional property dehydration was carried out with different pretreatments as a preservative method. The effect of pretreatments on nutritional attributes was observed in the present study. The treatment T2 which include blanching of spine gourd slices for 3 min. and steeping in 0.2 per cent KMS and 2 per cent salt solution for 10 min. showed significantly best results with respect to protein (1.93%), ash (8.11%), total phenols (831.20 mg GAE/100g) and L*(78.32), a*(0.68), except b* (32.28) values and carbohydrate per cent (p>0.01). The effect of pre-treatments showed non-significant results for moisture, water activity, fat, crude fibre and calorific value (kcal/100g). It was concluded form the study that the pretreatment with KMS (0.2 %) and salt (2%) solution along with blanching for 3 min. was considered best with respect to nutritional quality retention.
