Published: April 2022

Two measures of fine particulate matter, PM2.5 exposure and exceedance are used to analyze convergence patterns of 212 and 108 countries during the period of 2000 to 2014. For exposure, sigma index diverges at the annual rate of +1.07%, while gamma index converges at -0.5% rate. For exceedance, sigma index also diverges at +1.24%, while gamma index converges at -1.22%. The results from income and regional subgroups also indicate that lagging countries are catching-up to leading countries throughout the period in each subgroup. Policy implications from these finding will be discussed.
PAST LAND-USE ACTIVITIES IN RELATION TO THE LONG-TERM SUSPENDED SEDIMENT YIELD OF KINTA RIVER, PERAK, MALAYSIA
Authors: HASHIM M. , ISMAIL W. R.
Published: April 2022

Soil erosion and the suspended sediment yield (SSY) of Kinta river catchment were investigated using river and sediment discharge data of Kinta River and its tributaries available from 1961-2006. A long-term annual SSY for the Kinta River basin recorded an average of 2417.6 t/km2/year, with a maximum SSY of 8,757.3 t/km2/year in 1973 and a minimum SSY of 720.4 t/km2/year in 2005. The Mann-Kendall test was conducted to analyse the long-term SSY trends, which revealed an overall decreasing trend of SSY for the Kinta River basin. This 46-year period was divided into four phases of different SSY trend. The second phase from 1970â1985 recorded the highest average of 4,062 t/km2/year, as a result of the rapid development process that occurred in the drainage basin. The declining trends in SSY were observed after many mining operations ceased after 1960 and dam construction start in 2003. Some increasing trends in the early 1970s to 80s were due largely to the initial implementation of the New Economic Policy (NEP) and Green Book Plan. It involved a large-scale conversion of forest areas into agricultural lands with the expansion of urban areas and improvement of infrastructures.

Published: April 2022

Exposure to air pollution from peat fires causes serious environmental issues. Peat fires occurred frequently and emitted particulates in some areas in Indonesia, including South Sumatra Province. Hotspots were commonly found in several areas, notably during the dry season. Objective of this study aims to elaborate the association between wildfire and PM10spatially and the possibility of wildfire contribution to PM10 concentration during the 2019 dry season (June to October). The PM10 concentration, meteorological data (wind direction and wind speed), and hotspot data had been collected. To address hotspot distribution from peat fire and large scale of wind direction in South Sumatra, the spatial analysis was used meanwhile the meteorological and PM10 concentration were analyzed using RStudio by windrose and CBPF method. The provided PM10 concentration data had violated national ambient air quality standard for 11 days. The detected hotspot area was distributed dominantly in OKI (Ogan Komering Ilir) Regency. The CBPF result and spatial analysis were found that the most probable source was likely coming from South East to East direction. The source was predicted from OKI Regency with a big portion of hotspots area (>50%). The study showed a good probability (0.6) that the prediction of the hotspot in OKI Regency contributed spatially and statistically to PM10 concentration for receptor location in Palembang City.

Authors: U.K. ENIYON , C. ANANTHARAJ , V. ARUTCHELVAN
Published: April 2022

To identify the viability and performance, distillery effluent having very high organic content was studied on continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). Under mesophilic and Thermophilic temperatures, different organic loading rates (OLR), optimum conditions for highest chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal and biogas generation was found at OLR of 3.72 to 42.16 kg COD/ (m3â¢d) and 4.21 to 43.17 kg COD/(m3â¢d). Highest COD exertion efficiency was found to be around 70% for OLR of 25.82 kg COD/(m3â¢d), when hydraulic retention time (HRT) reduced from 24 to 12 h at mesophilic condition. The steady state of hydrogen production was 1360 ml/lâ¢d obtained at the OLR of 25.82 kg COD/(m3â¢d) with Volatile fatty acids to alkalinity ratio of 2.2 to 0.5 and the hydrogen production of 1130 ml/l.d obtained at the OLR of 28.52 kg COD/(m3â¢d) with a conversion coefficient of 1.8 to 0.5 Volatile fatty acids to alkalinity ratio were recorded in these stages. The maximum of 70% of the Distillery Spent Wash was converted to hydrogen at the OLR of 25.82 kg COD/(m3â¢d) at mesophlic conditions with HRT of 12 h and hence the mesophilic condition favoured the hydrogen production from Distillery Spent Wash.

Published: April 2022

Access to clean water is the significant need in all nations on the planet in which many people and living live forms pass on because of tainted water related ailments consistently. Health problems caused by alum have been recently reported. Various reports have mentioned the direct and indirect toxic effects of alum in the form of tumours, cancers and allergies. No investigations have been done to discover whether seeds of Trigonella Foenum-graecum and Cuminum cyminum can be used as water coagulants. In order to partially replace alum as coagulant, the combination of Fenugreek seed powder and Cumin seed powder is used as coagulant in water treatment via coagulation-flocculation process. pH and coagulant dosage were identified for the combinations of Alum, Fenugreek and Cumin seed powder. The overall best efficient turbidity removal proportion is studied for both the synthesized turbid water and river water.

Published: April 2022

Coffee fruits are processed by either wet method or dry method at the estate level to obtain the coffee bean. Of these two methods, coffee processing by wet method requires large amount of water and thus generates enormous amount of effluent which needs to be treated extensively before discharge. Currently, the effluent treatment plant (ETP) module developed by Central Coffee Research Institute (CCRI) in collaboration with National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) during 1980 is employed for treating the coffee effluent. The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has recommended CCRI-NEERI ETP module for adoption at the estate level to treat the coffee effluent. In the present investigation, a new method viz., Acidification-Neutralization-Sedimentation-Filtration (ANSF) developed recently by CCRI was evaluated for treating the coffee effluent for four consecutive seasons (2017-2018 to 2020-2021) under field conditions. The results indicated that the BOD reduction by ANSF method is comparatively higher than the BOD reduction by CCRI-NEERI method. Further, ANSF method is relatively simple, as it does not require any chemical (or) biological inputs for treating the coffee effluent, excepting calcium oxide and biochar.

Published: April 2022

An investigation was undertaken to identify the constraints faced by farmers in practicing organic farming. The present study was carried out in Haryana state. Three districts namely, Hisar, Sirsa and Sonipat were selected purposively as the locale for the proposed study. Organic farming has been received considerable attention in Haryana in the recent years. This may be due to declining soil fertility, indiscriminate usage of agro-chemicals etc. and increasing demand of organic products in Metropolitan city Delhi and exportable opportunities of organic products. Awareness about organic farming is increasing in Haryana and even small number of farmers have converted and started organic farming. But majority of the farmers in the state are still engaged in commercial agriculture and adoption rate of organic farming practice is not significant. Many factors are responsible for the present dismal situation of organic farming in the state. Cultural and demographic attributes of the farmers play an important role in adoption/ rejection of new technologies/alternative methods. There is need for proper socio-cultural environment for promotion of organic farming in the state which have not been given due attention

Authors: GANGULY LOPAMUDRA , SATPATI LAKSHMINARAYAN
Published: April 2022

Background: In almost every culture around the world, there is a severe stigma associated with individuals seeing or being aware of this used material. Despite the countryâs massive waste generation, India lacks separate standards for sanitary waste disposal. As a result, the removal of menstrual waste is a severe issue in the country. In the designated districts, descriptive and cross-sectional research of adolescent girls were done. 788 women who had menstrual flow for at least three consecutive menstrual cycles were chosen as samples using the sampling technique. Data is being collected on 435 non-tribal women and 353 tribal women in the population. Following that, the data is arranged in a comparative analytical fashion. The data were analyzed using the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0, including descriptive and inferential statistics. Result: Menstrual waste management is a severe issue in several areas, according to the studyâs findings. Nonworking and working women, as well as non-tribal and tribal women, are divided into two categories. Women in the unorganized sector confront more significant challenges due to the unfavourable atmosphere for changing menstrual products and properly disposing them. The proper disposal of used absorbents necessitates user-centered design thinking that considers sociocultural norms surrounding menstruation, product availability, quality, and use, as well as existing sanitary infrastructure.

Published: April 2022

Recent advancement in water quality assessment and remediation technologies has led to the identification of trace amounts of emerging contaminants of anthropogenic origin. The presence and toxicity of these compounds in each environmental niche (i.e. air, water, soil) has been identified as a major health concern throughout the world. Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have been identified as one such class of ubiquitous, non-degradable, persistent organic pollutants (KaborÃ© et al., 2018). However, till date, India has no environmental quality standards and specific guidelines for the management of these compounds. Only limited studies on presence and toxic impact of these persistent organic pollutants have been carried out in India. There is an urgent need to conduct extensive and comprehensive studies for the detection of these emerging pollutants in the various environmental and biological matrices. This review paper summarizes the currently available literature on occurrence, distribution of Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in India.

The health status of any aquatic body is directly dependent on its physicochemical properties. This present seasonal assessment was carried out to evaluate the correlation between limnological parameters and fish diversity, as well as Comprehensive Pollution Index of Nandannagar jheel, North 24 Parganas, West Bengal, during the tenure of March 2019 to February 2021. Water samples were collected on monthly basis at 4 stations of this jheel and limnological characteristic like pH, dissolve oxygen, carbon dioxide, turbidity, water temperature, total alkalinity, total hardness, phosphate, nitrate and biochemical oxygen demand are measured. The principal component analyses (PCA) result showed that pH (-0.864), total alkalinity (-0.799), dissolve oxygen (-0.900), and carbon dioxide (0.853) were the main factors. Significant (p < .05) negative correlations were recorded between water temperatures and dissolve oxygen, carbon dioxide and dissolve oxygen, while significant (p < .05) positive correlations were found between pH and biochemical oxygen demand, pH and dissolve oxygen. In respect of fish faunal diversity, a total of 28 species belonging to 6 orders and 15 families were identified. Maximum representatives belong to order Cypriniformes having 6 species with 38% catch composition, whereas Perciformes with 12 species with 28.55% catch composition. Both the Shannon Weiner diversity index (2.871-2.998) and comprehensive pollution index (0.53-0.61) indicate the water body of this jheel is moderately polluted. The study recommends constant monitoring is needed to minimize the anthropogenic activities surrounding this jheel.

Published: April 2022

An interview-based survey was conducted involving the inhabitants at the periphery of the four water bodies selected for our study at Haldia. Questions were asked to human subjects who were directly or indirectly dependent on the water sources of those stations. The people were interviewed using a questionnaire. The study revealed that 40% of the respondents had expressed a high degree of health impact and 80% of the respondents reported short duration morbidity. A few inhabitants displayed symptoms indicating the presence of trace heavy metals toxicity in one of the water bodies where lead and cadmium toxicity was found in one station. Lack of awareness and knowledge is leading to more polluted water exposure which depicts a gradual recession on the quality of human health.

Published: April 2022

Soils containing a high amount of calcium carbonate are identifying as calcareous soils. This type of soil severely affects the plantâs growth as they tend to be low in nutrient availability and organic matter. An extensive study was conducted to characterize the calcareousness in Zaheerabad Mandal, Telangana State, India. A total of 48 geo-referenced soil samples were collected in five villages and analyzed for soil texture, soil-water availability, hydro geomorphology, and free calcium carbonate. GIS-based soil characterization is done with Arc GIS - 10.3 software and verified with the ground truth data. The observations showed that 34.14 % of the study area is affected with 35-60% of soil calcareousness, which indicated high calcareousness, followed by slight soil calcareousness in 32.42 % of the study area, i.e., 15-35% of calcareousness and 31.54% of the study area is free from calcareousness. This characterization of soil calcareousness alarmed the inferior cultivation methods in the study area and alerting the farmers for better land management by avoiding high pH substances such as pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.

Published: April 2022

The degradation of anionic azo dye via Hexacyanoferrate (III) ions (oxidant) in the aqueous alkaline medium has been investigated through kineticâspectrophotometric technique. The efficiency of this treatment strongly depends on the chemical structure of dyes. The effect on the reaction of various parameters (concentration of dyes, oxidant, and pH solution) has been examined. The degradation of acid red 27, acid yellow 23, and azo violet dyes follow the first-order kinetic model concerning [HCF (III)] and [Dye]. The degradation rates of dyes follow the order: acid red 27> acid yellow 23> azo violet. The successive products of the dyes reveal that the dyes are effectively oxidized via HCF (III) in aqueous alkaline medium. Thermodynamic parameters of acid red 27 dyes at four different temperatures ranging between 40 to 55 ÂºC reveal that the degradation rate of acid red 27 dye is much better from azo violet, acid yellow 23.

Published: April 2022

Jaunpur is an ancient city situated on the bank of River Gomti which bisects the municipal area of Jaunpur city (located between 25Â°44â to 25Â°46â North latitude and 82Â°40â to 82Â°43â East longitude) in the north and south directions. Population growth and urbanisation rate in the city is very high during the last few decades. The rate of environmental degradation has accelerated due to the population growth and the process of urbanisation and industrialisation has increased the level of pollutants. All the sources of water in Jaunpur city have been deteriorated with the growth of population, urbanisation and industrialization. The river serves as a major source of domestic water supply of the Jaunpur city, subsequently; the river receives back the untreated domestic wastewater from Jaunpur city (about 450 mld) directly during its course. It causes the river water quality deterioration. While entering the city Gomti river water quality can be seen less polluted but it increases as it run in the city core. The study aims to determine the water quality of river Gomti in Jaunpur city. Water quality variables are integrated to determine the water quality index value along the river. In order to determine the water quality, seven stations were selected along the stretch of river. Data have been collected on the water quality from Gomti river through sampling and analysis for pre and post monsoon, 2015 and 2016. The Water Quality Index (WQI) was calculated using the Weighted Arithmetic Index method. This method appears to be more systematic and gives comparative evaluation of the water quality of sampling stations. It is also helpful for public to understand the quality of water as well as being a useful tool in many ways in the field of water quality management.

Published: April 2022

The present work is aimed at assessing the trace metal contamination and its indexing approach for Shivnath River, one of the major tributaries of Mahanadi River of Durg, Chhattisgarh with respect to some trace metals like Al, Fe, Mn, Cu and Cr. This enables us to assess whether the quality of water is fit for drinking, irrigation and industrial use or not. For this study samples were collected for 2017 and 2018 in all three seasons and subjecting the samples to a comprehensive selected metal analysis. For the assessment of contamination level in water of the study area the data obtained were statistically analyzed first and then calculated for pollution index (PI), Contamination Index (CI), Heavy Metal Pollution Index (HPI). The mean of HPI values found were 67.22 and 75.12 in summer season of 2017 and 2018 respectively. The CI and PI values were less than 1.0 which indicates the water is not critically polluted with respect to heavy metals. It is due to presence of enough flow rate of River water, the metal concentration from domestic and urban runoff has been diluted rapidly with respect to a very small distance.

Published: April 2022

A number of interesting theories have emerged regarding the implications of pandemic Covid-19 on the world in terms of pollution, health statistics, economic cost etc. The healthcare sectors of even advanced and rich countries are completely puzzled over the causes, effects and treatment of this mysterious disease. The other side of Covid-19 is that the lockdown imposed during the first wave of Covid-19 had halted the industrial, transportation and other such economic activities which had influenced environmental indicators also. The present study assesses the impact of lockdown on purifying environment in Uttar Pradesh, which is the most populated state in India. The study found that there has been a reduction in the pollutant levels in most of the cities of Uttar Pradesh during lockdown period, thereby, improving environmental quality. Major reduction was observed mainly in PM2.5 and PM10.

The Black carbon is the aerosol particle that has been produced from the incomplete combustion of carbonaceous fuels. The concentration of the Aerosol Black Carbon (ABC) was measured by using the Aethalometer (Magee Scientific Model AE-31) at high altitude region, Ooty. This study has measured the diurnal and seasonal variation of ABC concentration for the winter and transition month of March (winter to summer), 2021. They were also influenced by the local meteorological conditions. The average winter (January-February) and March month concentration were recorded as 0.89Â±0.26 Î¼g m-3 and 1.46Â±0.62 Î¼g m-3 respectively, and it shows significant variation at diurnally during the winter as well as in transition month. Aerosol Black carbon concentration attains the peak during evening hours (17:00 to 20:00 LT) in winter and follows the bimodal peaks in morning (09:00 LT) and late evening hour (21:00 LT) during March month. The ABC concentration was significantly related with the Aerosol optical depth which denotes that the ABC is one of the contributors to the atmospheric aerosols. The results showed that their nature tend to change with the local meteorological conditions and to the seasonal variation.

Water plays an important role in the healthcare field and can become the source of health problems due to microbial or chemical contamination. However, the quality of water used in hospitals has not been well studied in developing world. This study aimed to assess bacteriological and physicochemical drinking water quality at the hospital of Tiaret Town to get insight into any potential health risks due to waterborne diseases. To evaluate water quality of hospital, five sampling sites were determined and water quality parameters were selected for physico-chemical and bacteriological analysis. The analysis results were compared with maximum permissible limit values recommended by World Health Organization (WHO) and Algerian drinking water standards (JORA). The obtained results indicate that, the water temperatures ranged between 18.10 and 18.40 Â°C. The pH ranged between 7.93 and 7.99. The electrical conductivity (EC) with maximum value of 1149 Ã¬S/cm. The HCO3 â content with a value of 146 mg/l at all sample points. The chloride (Clâ) values ranged from 114.30 to 115.10 mg/l and sulfate (SO4â2) values from 189.70 to 197.20 mg/l. The physico-chemical analysis indicated that parameters values of the water were far below drinking water standards. The microbiological results show that the microbial load of total germs and fecal coliforms is very important. The levels of total germs at 22 Â°C and 37 Â°C ranged between 2 CFU/100 ml to 128 CFU/100 ml and 40 CFU/100 ml to 134 CFU/100 ml respectively, while, the levels of total coliforms and fecal coliforms ranged between 13 CFU/100 ml to 146 CFU/100 ml and 00 CFU/100 ml to 371 CFU/100 ml respectively which indicates the contaminated than the hospital drinking water. The results show that the microbiological qualities of the water generally worsen from hospital taps.

Les céphalées (75%), la fatigue (71, 42%), la fièvre (46,40%) étaient les symptômes les plus cités. Chez les patients symptomatiques, 60% avaient une HTA, 71,43% un Asthme et 100% un Diabète. Le TDR sérologique (T) IgG/IgM a montré une sensibilité de 43,90% (IC95% : 32,19 – 55,60) et une spécificité de 85,71% (IC95% : 77,45 – 93,96) avec des VPN (51,06%) et des VPP (81,81%).

Conclusion : Pendant les trois mois de collecte de données au CTEPI-Gbessia, nous avons évaluer la capacité diagnostique du test GoldMag SARS-CoV-2 IgG/IgM dans la détection des anticorps dans le sérum des patients hospitalisés et une sensibilité moyenne a été rapportée. Pour rehausser la performance analytique du test il sera judicier de l’utiliser sur des patients symptomatiques.

Authors: Foba Ibrahima , Al Et.
Published: April 2022

But: le but de notre étude consistait à déterminer la prévalence du portage bactériologique et parasitologique des selles chez les professionnels de la restauration collective de la société Bramali.  Méthodologie: nous avions mené une étude rétrospective, descriptive et analytique de trois années de prélèvements de selles. Elle était réalisée chez des professionnels de la restauration affectés à la cantine de la société Bramali. Les prélèvements étaient effectués périodiquement tous les six mois. Les données étaient saisies sur le logiciel Excel Microsoft 365 et analysées sur Epi-info 7.2.4.0. Le test de khi2 était utilisé pour les liaisons statistiques. Le seuil de risque d’erreur était à 5% (p<0,05). Résultats: Douze travailleurs étaient suivis, composés essentiellement de femmes (83,3%). La moyenne d’âge était de 35,8 ans. Les ¾ des travailleurs avaient plus de 5 ans d’ancienneté dans le poste. Soixante prélèvements de selles avaient été effectués chez ces travailleurs et sept étaient porteurs de germes (11,7%). Les prélèvements porteurs de bactéries et de parasites représentaient respectivement 3,4% (n=2) et 5% (n=3). Les kystes d’Entamoeba histolytica étaient les plus répertoriés (42,8%), suivis de Candida albicans (28,6%) et Salmonella sp (28,6%). Aucun lien statistique (p˃0,05) n’avait été retrouvé entre le portage de germes et, le lieu de résidence, le sexe, l’ancienneté au poste, le niveau d’instruction.  Conclusion: Cette étude a montré l’importance du contrôle des agents travaillant dans la chaine alimentaire. C’est pourquoi, le respect strict des mesures d’hygiène en restauration collective doit être de rigueur. Cela permettrait d’éviter la propagation des maladies du péril fécal en milieu professionnel

Authors: Guindo I
Published: April 2022

Objectif : déterminer le profil de résistance aux antibiotiques de Mycoplasma hominis et Ureaplasma urealyticum détectés chez les femmes ayant une demande de recherche de mycoplasmes venues à l’Institut National de Santé Publique (INSP) de Bamako.
Résultats : cent quinze femmes ont été enrôlées dans cette étude. Les infections dues aux mycoplasmes ont été retrouvées dans 63,5% de la population étudiée.
Il ressort que 53,0% des infections étaient dues à Ureaplasma urealyticum, 6,1% au Mycoplasma hominis et 4,3% de coinfections impliquant les deux espèces bactériennes (U. urealiticum et M. hominis).
Les mycoplasmes étaient plus observés dans la tranche d’âge comprise entre 16 et 35 ans, cette tranche d’âge représentait 79% de notre population d’étude marquée par la perturbation de la flore vaginale. 
L’examen macroscopique des échantillons a montré que l’aspect mucoblanchâtre des prélèvements réalisés était le plus fréquent avec 75,7% des cas.
La résistance aux antibiotiques des mycoplasmes a été déterminée à l’aide du kit Mycoplasma IST-2 (bioMerieux, Marcy l'Etoile, France).
Elle variait entre 87 et 92% pour les fluoroquinolones, 23 et 57% pour les macrolides et la tétracycline.
Impact de l’Education Thérapeutique des Patients sur l’observance des sujets séropositifs, sous traitement antirétroviral au Centre Hospitalier Universitaire du Point G à Bamako
Authors: Kamate Emmanuel , Al Et.
Published: April 2022

Introduction : L’avènement du traitement antirétroviral a largement contribué à l’amélioration de la qualité de vie des patients. Cependant, il n’est pas rare de constater après un gain thérapeutique des patients tombés dans un cycle d’inobservance, corollaire d’avènement de mutants résistants aux molécules ARV. Objectif : Notre travail avait pour objectif d’évaluer le bénéfice de l’éducation thérapeutique sur l’observance aux ARV et la récupération chez les PVVIH jugés non observant.

Patients et Méthode : Il s’agitd’une étude quantitative et prospective chez des patients inobservants en échec thérapeutique. Le travail a consisté à inclure dans un programme d’ETP régulièrement conduit sur une période de 6 mois. Les variables de mesure de l’ETP étaient la charge virale et les CD4 6 mois après renforcement thérapeutique. Résultats : Au total, 50 patients ont été inclus, dont 54 % de femmes.  L’âge moyen était 38± 8,04 ans (23ans et 78ans).  Le délai moyen sous traitement ARV était compris entre 2 et 12ans. 54% étaient sous schéma de 2eme ligne.  Tous les patients étaient en échec virologique (100% de CV détectable). Mais la CV a été contrôlée indétectable après 6 mois de renforcement chez 94%. Le taux médian de CD4 a progressé de 216 à 313 cell/mm3.

Conclusion : L’ETP est une stratégie dont l’application apporte un bénéfice considérable dans la limitation d’émergence de mutants résistants chez les PVVIH.
Mélioïdose cutanée : A propos d’un cas au Mali
Authors: Dicko Adama Aguissa , Al Et.
Published: April 2022

La mélioïdose est une zoonose bactérienne transmise par voie aérienne et cutanée, due à un bacille tellurique Burkholderia pseudomallei. C’est une infection sévère par ces complications viscérales. Elle est observée essentiellement en Asie du Sud-Est et au Nord de l’Australie. En Afrique et particulièrement au Mali, elle est rarement observée. Nous rapportons le cas d’un monsieur de 25 ans, malien, chauffeur mécanicien sans antécédents médico-chirurgicaux particuliers reçu en août 2021 pour des lésions papuleuses persistantes du visage survenues à la suite d’une longue panne de véhicule dans les broussailles de Kita une région du sud du Mali à pluviométrie élevée. A l’examen on notait un état général conservé, une fièvre à 38°C et un IMC à 22 Kg/m2. Au niveau cutané, on observait des lésions papulo-pustuleuses et nodulaires par endroits prédominant au visage et quelques-unes au dos. Le reste de l’examen clinique était normal. L’examen bactériologique du pus a mis en évidence la présence d’assez nombreuses colonies de Burkholderia pseudomallei qui étaient sensible à l’imipénème et intermédiaire à l’amoxicilline-acide clavulanique. Le reste du bilan était normal. Le patient a été traité par l’amoxicilline-acide clavulanique avec une disparition des lésions en 15 jours. La mélioïdose doit être toujours évoquée devant des lésions papulo-nodulaires et pustuleuses dans un contexte de séjour dans une zone humide.

Published: April 2022

This research study was undertaken to determine emotional intelligence among mentally fit and mentally ill subjects from Haryana, India. The study also tries to find the gender differences among the variable mentioned above. The emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS- SANS) by Dr. Arun Kumar Singh and Dr. Shruti Narain was used in the present study to achieve the study’s objectives. A total of 200 subjects were taken from schools and hospitals in Haryana, India. The age range of all the subjects was between 12 to 17 years. The study results revealed that the mean scores of the subjects of the mentally fit group showed a higher level of emotional stability than the subjects of the mental illness group (Group 1= 22.37, Group 2= 14.97). In context to gender analysis, the study revealed that subjects showed the same level of emotional intelligence for both genders within the group. The study also revealed the same level of emotional intelligence for both genders among the mentally fit group and mental illness group. However, there seemed to be a difference between the groups when studying emotional intelligence.

Authors: Palit Shalmoli
Published: April 2022

Integral yoga has multi-dimensional aspect in our lives. On one hand it heads towards attainment of liberation, on the other hand integral yoga brings changes in intellectual, volitional, ethical, emotional, aesthetic and physical attributes of our lives leading to human perfection. For all perfection, the first pre-requisite is purification, suddhi. Mind, heart, the soul of vital desire and the life in the body are the seat of impurity, which when surrenders to the path of Yoga slowly clears of the impurities and develops their inner strength, which leads to the attainment of liberation or mukti. The path to liberation takes one to attain the siddhi or perfection that an aspirant desires of is attained when universality of being, of love and joy, of play of knowledge and of play of will in power and will in unegoistic action happens within an individual freely. The main intention here is to outline and analyse various developments that takes place when once the journey of yoga begins. The perfections and developments taking place within oneself help an individual to lead a comfortable life and enjoy an overall well-being with the enhancements of physical, vital and mental capacities.

Authors: Phukan Debashi , Saikia Dimpi
Published: April 2022

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) refers to a wireless system comprised of two components: tags and readers. The reader is a device that has one or more antennas that produce radio waves and receive signals back from the RFID tag. An RFID system for library normally consists of RFID tags, a self check-out station, a self-return system/ book drop system, a staff work station, a tagging/programming station, security gates, a shelf scanner for inventory/digital library assistant, conveyor belts and sorting systems, etc. The use of RFID reduces the amount of time required to perform circulation operations. This technology helps librarians eradicate valuable staff time spent scanning barcodes while checking out and checking in borrowed items . IIT Guwahati  Library offers a distinct service that is very useful for users, such as the ability to return books when the Library is closed. This paper discuss about the application and uses of RFID technology in the Central library of IIT Guwahati.
