Health Risk assessment due to ingestion of toxic metals through uptake of some food items by the people living near the Indian part of sundarban areas.
Authors: Patra Khokan , Ghosh D. , Ghosh P.B.
Published: May 2023

Health risks assessment of the people near sundarban areas due to uptake of toxic metals like lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) during lifetime consumption through some food items was done in terms of Target Hazard Quotient (THQ), Hazard index (HI), Cancer Risks (CR) and Target
Cancer Risk (TCR). Study revealed that THQ ranged from 0.1 to 13.0 for Cd, 0.25 to 12.25 for Pb and 0.13 to 12.0 for As. Excepting in the vegetables lentils, both THQ and HI values of the metals were greater than the tolerable limit of one signifying the presence of noncancerous risks of toxic
metal to the people. On the other hand, CR values varied from 0.3 × 10 – 5 to 12.9 × 10 – 5 for Pb and were lower than the permissible limit (1.0 × 10– 4). In contrast, both CR and TCR values of As were higher than the prescribed tolerable limit
in all food stuffs highlighting a potential risks of cancer. Among the food materials, the rice, potato and wheat due to higher rates of consumption were identified as the most potential sources for these toxic metals enrichment in human body. Thus, an integrated management action plan for
the reduction of anthropogenic activities responsible for the contribution of these toxic metals in these marine dominated remote areas might be urgently taken into account.

Authors: Panda Tanistha , Roy Nirban , Dutta Samya , Maity Trishita
Published: May 2023

Photocatalysis is the phenomenon that utilizes electromagnetic radiation (light energy) to initiate chemical reactions in the presence of a photocatalyst, such as titanium dioxide (TiO2). It has a wide range of implementations, consisting primarily in air and water purification,
self-cleaning, cancer treatment, and antifogging. The positive sides of this process involve being eco-friendly, cost-effective, and the ability to remove a wide range of pollutants. Nevertheless, it has the mandatory requirement of a light source and may be less effective in low-light or
dark environments, as well as with competing reactions. Ongoing research aims to improve efficiency and overcome these limitations by combining the process of photocatalysis with other methods and using new materials.

Published: May 2023

Abstract: Although mortality from ischemic heart disease has declined over the past decades in Argentina, ischemic heart disease remains one of the most frequent causes of death. This study aimed to describe the role of individual and contextual factors on premature ischemic heart disease mortality and to analyze how educational differentials in premature ischemic heart disease mortality changed during economic fluctuations in two provinces of Argentina from 1990 to 2018. To test the relationship between individual (age, sex, and educational level) and contextual (urbanization, poverty, and macroeconomic variations) factors, a multilevel Poisson model was estimated. When controlling for the level of poverty at the departmental level, we observed inequalities in premature ischemic heart disease mortality according to the educational level of individuals, affecting population of low educational level. Moreover, economic expansion was related to an increase in ischemic heart disease mortality, however, expansion years were not associated with increasing educational inequalities in ischemic heart disease mortality. At the departmental level, we found no contextual association beween area-related socioeconomic level and the risk of ischemic heart disease mortality. Despite the continuing decline in ischemic heart disease mortality in Argentina, this study highlighted that social inequalities in mortality risk increased over time. Therefore, prevention policies should be more focused on populations of lower socioeconomic status in Argentina.

Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Obesity is associated with different medical conditions, such as cardiologic, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary, and constitutes a severe health problem. AIMS: This study aimed to evaluate the use of intragastric fluid-filled balloon in the reduction of weight and other measurements related to body composition. METHODS: This is a retrospective, monocentric study involving all patients who opted for the intragastric balloon Spatz® placement from January 2018 to July 2019, with fulfillment of inclusion and exclusion criteria. The patients were analyzed after 6 and 12 months after the intragastric fluid-filled balloon placed. RESULTS: A total of 121 subjects were included in this study, with 83 (68.6%) females and 38 (31.4%) males. The mean age was 36 years and height was 1.64±0.09. Weight mean and standard deviation was 89.85±14.65 kg, and body mass index was 33.05±4.03; body mass index decreased to 29.4 kg/m2 with a mean weight of 79.83 kg, after 12 months of follow-up. There were statistical differences between body mass index and the 12 months in fat percentage, fat-free mass (kg), visceral fat area, and basal metabolic rate. There was a significant variation according to gender, with males having highest reduction. The percentage of excess weight loss was 46.19, and the total weight loss was 9.24 at the end of the study. CONCLUSIONS: The study demonstrated a benefit of intragastric fluid-filled balloon on weight loss after 12 months. At the end of treatment, body mass index and the measurements of body composition were significantly lower. Men benefited more than women from the treatment.

ABSTRACT: Strawberry is one of the most socially and economically important small fruits in Brazil, with strong demand by the food industry driving high levels of production. However, phytosanitary problems, especially insect damage, can hamper strawberry cultivation. A pest of great concern is the strawberry sap beetle, Lobiopa insularis (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae), which damages the fruits. Chemical control has not been effective against L. insularis, as it makes harvesting and marketing the product unfeasible. Parasitoids have been effectively utilized to control various strawberry pests and support sustainable production. We report the occurrence of the wasp Cerchysiella insularis (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) as a parasite of L. insularis on strawberries in São José dos Pinhais, Paraná, Brazil. Samples of strawberries (San Andreas cultivar) attacked by L. insularis were collected from February to March, 2019. Lobiopa insularis larvae were individually placed in rearing pots, fed on San Andreas strawberries, and checked weekly for symptoms of parasitism or parasitoid emergence. Parasitism rates were 33.85% in March and 45.90% in February. The sex ratio varied between 0.88 and 0.86. All parasitized larvae were infested by C. insularis. The natural parasitism rate above 33% and high sex ratio of C. insularis in strawberry crops indicated that it may have the potential in the control of L. insularis.

Abstract Paratanaisia bragai is a digenetic trematode that reaches sexual maturity in the kidney collecting ducts of domestic and wild birds, while the snails Subulina octona and Leptinaria unilamellata serve as its intermediate hosts in Brazil. The present study analyzed the morphology and morphometry of P. bragai. Adult specimens of the parasite were collected from naturally infected Columba livia kidneys, fixed and prepared for observation via bright field and differential interference contrast light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The parasite has an elongated and flattened body, with a subterminal oral sucker located at the anterior end of the body, as observed by all techniques used. Staining the parasite with hematoxylin-eosin enabled observation of the pharynx, located posteriorly to the oral sucker, the vitelline glands, which are extra-cecal and extend anteriorly to the pre-ovarian region and later to the median region of the body, and intestinal caeca parallel to the vitelline glands. The presence and functionality of the acetabulum are controversial points in the literature, but it was observed in all specimens analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, with a major diameter of 38.36 ± 6.96 (28.77 – 45.39) and minor diameter of 31.59 ± 7.04 (21.75 - 38.16). Close to the acetabulum, scales were observed in the integument of the parasite. Scales with (1 - 5) blade divisions were identified. In the genital pore, it was possible to see the everted cirrus with rosette shape. The excretory pore (first morphometric record) is dorsal and subterminal, with major diameter of 12.27 ± 9.16 (5.79 - 18.75) and minor diameter of 3.95 ± 1.49 (2.89 - 5.00).

Authors: Aditya  , Jarial R. S. , Bhatia J.N.
Published: May 2023

Hypsizygus ulmarius, a species with high biological efficiency, is multi-nutrient and is a medically good source of myco-chemicals. A study was carried out to evaluate different types of spawn to produce H. ulmarius utilizing various agroforestry wastes. Among seven different grain substrates evaluated, pearl millet grains were found to be the best substrate for spawn production as it supports much faster (11 d) and enhanced growth of H. ulmarius. A minimum period (13.67 d) was recorded for the complete spawn run, time taken for the first flush (20.33 d) along with the maximum number (38.33) of sporocarps produced in the wheat straw substrate. The longest stipe length (6.40 cm) was however, recorded in pine needles while the maximum (9.10 cm) cap diameter was found in maize straw substrate spawned with pearl millet grains spawn. Out of seven locally available substrates evaluated for production and yield parameters of H. ulmarius, maximum yield (640.00 g/0.5 kg dry substrate) having 128 percent biological efficiency was obtained when the wheat straw substrate was used significantly followed by wheat and maize grains spawn on the same substrate. Minimum time for spawn run, maximum number of sporocarps, maximum yield and biological efficiency was recorded in wheat straw substrate showing the best production substrate for H. ulmarius using pearl millet grains spawn. The results showed that agroforestry wastes can be alternatively used as potential substrates for cultivating H. ulmarius. H. ulmarius contain high amounts of proteins, carbohydrates, dietary fibers, unsaturated fatty acids, enzymes, and plenty of minerals among the commercially cultivated species. This mushroom has a good profile of vitamins, including B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), A (retinol) and C (ascorbic acid), all of which are suitable for diet formulation and act as sources of energy.

“It’s a Two-Way Thing”: Symbolic Boundaries and Convivial Practices in Changing Neighbourhoods in London and Tshwane
Authors: Wessendorf Susanne , Monson Tamlyn
Published: May 2023

While there is a considerable body of literature on symbolic boundaries that engages with long-established/newcomer configurations, work on conviviality has only rarely taken this angle, despite its general focus on contexts of immigration-related diversity. This article connects these works of literature by examining insider-outsider configurations between long-established residents and newcomers in two very different contexts of rapid demographic change, where the established population is already marginalized and feels further threatened by newcomers. Drawing on ethnographic research in Newham, UK, and Mshongo, South Africa, we advance debates on conviviality by revealing how perceptions of inequality, lack of civility, and lack of reciprocity shape symbolic boundaries against newcomers, which may, in turn, be softened by convivial practices. We also consider what the differences between the sites might reveal about the enabling conditions for conviviality in such neighbourhoods.

Diversity Management: Opportunities and Challenges in the Workplace
Authors: Tripathi Ashish Anand
Published: May 2023

In a multiethnic, multicultural, multireligious, and complex country like India, diversity is a significant problem. Today's workplaces are diverse, with workers from various backgrounds and orientations. If organizations can, they will profit significantly, attract, motivate, and keep exceptional workers with multiple demands and environments into a cohesive and devoted team. Although workplace diversity comes with several difficulties, it can also give an organization an unfavorable competitive edge. More than ever, Indian businesses must deal with the issue of a varied workforce, which necessitates developing a plan for fostering a culture in which individuals value one another's differences. India is renowned for its tolerance and ability to embrace variety. In managing equality and inclusion at work, this research examines the connections between performance reviews, cultural issues, affirming action (AA), and organizational competencies. First, it was shown that performance assessments were a significant cause of prejudice, especially because raters had so much influence on the actual procedure.

The Role of Organizational Structure in facilitating Communication and Collaboration within teams: A Quantitative Study
Authors: K. Anuj
Published: May 2023

Any team's success depends on effective communication and collaboration. The team's organizational structure is a major component that may have an impact on collaboration and communication. The division and assignment of duties within a team is referred to as organizational structure. Communication inside an organization can be impacted in several ways. For example, teams with a hierarchical organization may have communication barriers since information may need to travel through numerous tiers before it reaches the intended recipient. As team members have greater direct access to one another, teams with flat organizational structures could experience fewer communication hurdles. The organizational structure can also affect how well people collaborate. Teams having a functional structure—in which individuals are grouped according to the function or area of expertise—may have a more specialized knowledge base, but they might have trouble working across functions. Teams with a cross-functional structure, in contrast, may have more potential for cross-functional collaboration but may encounter difficulties coordinating efforts across several domains of knowledge. To emphasize, organizational structure is essential for promoting teamwork and communication. Teams may choose the optimal strategy for the needs and realize the full potential for communication and collaboration by understanding the advantages and disadvantages of various organizational structures.
The Role of Emotional Intelligence in Conflict Resolution: A Cross Sectional Study
Authors: Kapoor Laxmi
Published: May 2023

Understanding, managing, and resolving problems in a peaceful and beneficial way is the goal of conflict resolution. Understanding of self-emotions, as well as those of others, is a requirement for emotional intelligence. Conflict resolution requires the capability to understand the viewpoints of others and to empathize with them, especially when parties have a history of deeply held disagreements. According to research, people with high emotional quotients are more inclined to approach problems in a positive and cooperative way, which results in more favorable outcomes. At times when there is a conflict socially, it is the emotional intelligence that keeps a person calm and composed during such situation. Additionally, emotionally intelligent people can read and understand the emotions of others, which allows them to respond to the wants and worries more effectively. To be précised, effective conflict resolution depends on having strong emotional intelligence. Fostering effective and peaceful conflict resolutions requires the capacity to recognize, regulate, and understand self-emotions as well as those of others. Therefore, to improve the ability to resolve conflicts, people and organizations alike should give emotional intelligence skills top priority.
Use of Computer Designing for Architectural Infrastructures in Different Terrain
Authors: Painuly Sanjay
Published: May 2023

The use of CAD in architectural practice and education has drawn fierce criticism in recent years, according to literature. The mental efficacy of modern students in institutions and, primarily, practicing architects was thought to be negatively impacted. Contrary to the prevalent practice of using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) in the design process, the earlier method of drafting was positioned favorably. This study is a moralist polemicist against broad generalizations like that. Before proposing a curative remedy, it aims to assess the viability of the goals of previous literature. In that respect, the objective goal of this study is to analyze and contrast quantitatively the advantages and drawbacks of using computer-aided design (CAD) vs conventional approaches in architectural practice and education. Secondarily, it seeks to vehemently amplify whether computer-aided design (CAD) use should be continued or discontinued based on an analysis of identified CAD users. Therefore, a variety of interdependent schemata were developed to organize the scope's boundaries in order to achieve the full phenomena of this expansive aim. The methodology sold follows the quantitative paradigm. From the viewpoint of experts, secondary data for the theoretical framework was gathered through databases, books, and journals.
AI Based Precision and Intelligent Farming System
Authors: Rana Samir
Published: May 2023

The growing global population and the increasing demand for food have led to a pressing need for sustainable agricultural practices. To address this challenge, we present an AI-Based Precision and Intelligent Farming System that leverages state-of-the-art machine learning techniques to optimize resource utilization and crop yields. This study demonstrates the integration of various data sources such as satellite imagery, IoT sensors, and historical data to develop a comprehensive and adaptive system for precision agriculture. Our approach employs deep learning models, including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, to analyze and predict crop health, growth, and potential yield. Furthermore, we propose a reinforcement learning-based decision-making module for effective irrigation, fertilization, and pest control management. The proposed system is extensively evaluated on real-world datasets, showing significant improvements in crop yield, water efficiency, and overall sustainability compared to traditional farming methods. Our findings suggest that the AI-Based Precision and Intelligent Farming System has the potential to revolutionize agriculture and contribute to global food security while minimizing environmental impacts.

Authors: Rawat Monika
Published: May 2023

In today's cutthroat business climate, customer service must be personable if it is to succeed. To successfully attract and keep customers in the long term, service industries need to have a wide range of cutting-edge offerings. Banks in the public sector exist to serve the populace as a whole, regardless of factors such as demographics, sexual orientation, political affiliation, educational attainment, or employment status. Everyone, even the elderly, pays the same interest rate. As a result, maintaining cordial and cooperative ties with all clientele is essential. Although public sector banks in rural regions stick to tried-and-true methods of customer relationship management, those in urban centers use a wide range of novel approaches. The rise of discerning consumers has been facilitated by liberalization, privatization, and globalization, giving rise to customer-focused marketing. Both acquiring new consumers and keeping the ones you already have may be difficult for marketers. Experts in marketing are always thinking of new ways to identify customers' evolving wants and requirements and meet them. Marketers and academics are increasingly interested in customer relationship management as a means to actively involve consumers in products and services. Client relationship management in the banking industry requires constant focus in order to reduce customer churn, foster the acquisition of new clients, and increase transaction volumes.
Analyzing the Impact of Welfare Measures on Job Performance and Job Satisfaction of the Teachers
Authors: Kaur Rupinder
Published: May 2023

The research discussed factors including working conditions and fringe benefits that are part of welfare management methods that have an impact on teachers' job performance. Research hypotheses were used to direct the investigation. Employees are greatly inspired by welfare reforms, which contributes to the expansion of businesses. There is a close link between employee morale and job satisfaction, making welfare measurements an important component in both. The purpose of this research is to examine and assess existing worker protections and benefits. The survey, which gauges the effect on morale, draws the conclusion that most employees were happy with the welfare measures offered by the government, non-governmental institutions, and labor unions. A statistically significant and beneficial influence of working conditions on teachers' job performance was found, among other things, in the analysis of the replies. It has been suggested that the Calicut Education Service (CES) and individual schools implement rules that are supportive of teachers' families, improve working conditions, and guarantee timely payment of benefits.
Multiple Target Localization Using Wideband Echo Chirp Signals
Authors: Kundlia Anmol
Published: May 2023

This work proposes a unique technique for wideband chirp signals-based detection and estimate of the range, velocity, and direction of arrival (DOA) of numerous far-field objects. A wide region is covered by the wideband signal that is created. The targets reflect them, and an echo signal is created. The range, radial velocity, as well as DOA of the echo signal are extracted to identify the objects. Using the LCT, the range, radial velocity, and DOA are determined. The main goals of the system under consideration are to transmit a wide band signal over an area, to detect targets nearby, to obtain an echo signal from a target that has been reflected, and to extract features from the echo signal, such as range, radial velocity, and DOA, in order to achieve superior performance metrics than previous ones.

Published: May 2023

Inline deduplication is a technique that can reduce the amount of storage space used in a cloud environment. It can also improve restore and backup times. However, it is not always effective due to the various factors that affect the effectiveness of this process. For instance, the type of data that is stored and the method that is used to perform deduplication are all important factors that affect the effectiveness of this solution. The goal of this paper is to provide an overview of the various aspects of inline deduplication and its effectiveness in improving the performance and reducing the cost of storage in a cloud-based environment. We then conduct a case study to demonstrate the efficiency of this process in an Amazon Web Services instance. Experiments were able to demonstrate that in cloud environments, the level of deduplication that is achieved can improve performance and reduce the amount of storage space that is used. In case study, the use of inline deduplication on Amazon Web Services led to a 60% reduction in the storage space usage. After conducting a comprehensive analysis of the various aspects of inline deduplication, we concluded that it is a standard feature that can be used by cloud storage providers to reduce their costs and improve the performance of their customers.
