Authors: Ángel Gómez Karen , Gómez Cardona Laura
Published: June 2022

Desde el contexto general y local, la violencia de género, como parasol de las diferentes violencias en contra de las mujeres, sigue teniendo relevancia y se ha recrudecido en la coyuntura de la pandemia por el COVID-19. La pandemia y el posterior confinamiento global agudizaron no solo la impunidad de los agresores, sino también los componentesde violencia cultural, sometimiento y aislamiento de las mujeres dadas comúnmente antes, durante y después de una situación límite o un desastre que implique de manera macro a una parte de la población. Por este motivo, a través de esta revisión bibliográfica, se concluye que la pandemia por COVID-19 evidenció una violencia de género expresada como violencia intrafamiliar y facilitada por el confinamiento y la falta deacceso a la justicia colombiana.
Effect of large scale roughness of block ramps on dissolved oxygen efficiency in water
Authors: Esmaeili Varaki Mahdi , Kamakoli Masomeh , Biabani Roya , Navabian Maryam
Published: June 2022

Block ramps are generally characterized by super critical flow over the ramps, and the presence of roughness lying on the surface of the block ramps induces excessive turbulence, which causes some turbulent energy dissipation and air entrainment. Aeration in a block ramp is caused by the intensity of turbulence created in the water flow by surface roughness of the block ramp and hydraulic jump downstream of block ramp. Macro or large-scale roughness like boulders, as a protruding element on surface of block ramp, could increase intensify turbulence and flow aeration along block ramps. This paper presents an experimental investigation of the dissolved oxygen efficiency in block ramps with slopes of 1:3, 1:5 and 1:7, on which large-scale granular materials with different arrangement patterns were glued. Comparison of results indicated that, for both free and ramp hydraulic jumps, the block ramps with a slope of 1:3 and large-scale roughness increase the dissolved oxygen efficiency almost 20% above that of the similar smooth block ramps. By reducing of the slope of block ramps to 1:5, the dissolved oxygen efficiency of the block ramps with large surface roughness became 3 and 19% for free and ramp hydraulic jumps, respectively. However, the block ramps with 1:7 slope had corresponding dissolved oxygen efficiency of 19 and 32%, respectively. Furthermore, installation of large scale roughness with the structured arrangement have better performance to increase dissolved oxygen (DO) in comparison with the interlocked large-scale roughness.
Experimental study of cavitation index in an ogee spillway by considering convergence angle of sidewalls
Authors: Foroudi Ali , Barati Reza
Published: June 2022

Cavitation is among the most complex and common damage occurring in spillway structures, which is one of the most expensive parts of a dam. The cavitation index, as the one of the most efficient approaches, can be used to analyze this important hydraulic phenomenon. The present study examines the changes in the cavitation index caused by changes in the convergence angle of an ogee spillway's sidewalls with an arc in the plan. To this end, a spillway was constructed on the 1:50 scale. Then, it was tested with four different convergence angles, including 0°, 60°, 90°, and 120°, relative to the spillway's sidewalls and six different flow rates per unit width ranging from 6.74 to 48.42 (l/s)/m. The results indicated that as the flow rate increased, the cavitation index relatively declined at both crest and chute of the spillway while growing at its toe. It was observed that the lowest cavitation index was found to be 1.54 in.X/Hd = 2.42 at an angle of 0° and a flow rate per unit width of 40.52 (L/s)/m.
Estimation of local scour depth around twin piers using gene expression programming (local scour around twin piers)
Authors: Devi Geeta , Kumar Munendra
Published: June 2022

The scour around the bridge piers has been estimated using conventional empirical formulae; however, these formulae are unable to predict the scour depth precisely. The present study is conducted in two parts (a) experimental investigation for evaluating the behaviour of local scour around twin piers positioned in the transverse direction of flow and (b) an empirical equation to estimating scour depth is proposed utilising new evolutionary artificial intelligence technique gene expression programming (GEP). Experimental results for the present study demonstrate the influence of the rate of flow and clear spacing between the piers on the scour depth. Additionally the results of the soft computing technique GEP during testing and training of proposed modelling, fitness function root mean square error is observed as 0.00133 and 0.00113, with the coefficient of determination as 0.950 and 0.955, respectively. Furthermore, in order to find out the role of each variable for scour depth sensitivity, analysis has been conducted. The findings of the sensitivity analysis show that the pier spacing and rate of flow play the most significant role in scour depth estimation. Results of this study demonstrate a good agreement with the proposed GEP model and conclude that it is a better approach for forecasting scour depth.

Published: June 2022

The partial denitrification and anammox (PDA) process has received attention for its ability to optimize treatment of wastewater containing a low -N concentration. This study investigated the suitable operational conditions for -N accumulation by hydrogenotrophic denitrification (HD) in operation of a laboratory-scale moving bed biofilm reactor, for future application in the PDA process. -N accumulation was achieved by minimizing the H2 flow rate under optimized conditions (i.e., 15 mL/min H2 flow rate, 40 mg-N/L influent -N, 7.0 h hydraulic retention time, and 2 L working volume). Hydrogenophaga comprised 39.2% of the bacterial abundance after -N accumulated, indicating its contribution to the -N accumulation. In addition, an intermittent H2 supply maintained the -N accumulation rate (NAR) and maximized the nitrite accumulation efficiency (NAE). A H2 supply ratio of 0.7 (i.e., ON: 7 min, OFF: 3 min) was optimal, which induced increases in NAR, NAE, and the -N removal efficiency that reached 0.07±0.01 kg-N/m3/d, 64.4±14.5%, and 89.2±8.9%, respectively. The ratio of H2 supply rate to the -N loading rate was calculated as 4.3 in this experiment, which may represent the optimal balance for maximization of -N accumulation by HD.
De la homogenización a la diversidad: reflexiones sobre las emergencias indígenas y la ciudadanía multicultural en Colombia y Brasil
Authors: Diaz Uribe Mauricio Alejandro , Roque Fernandes Fernando
Published: June 2022

El objetivo de este texto es presentar elementos que permitan una reflexión sobre fenómenos de emergencias políticas y sociales en el contexto del llamado multiculturalismo de finales del siglo XX. Durante los años noventa, varios países latinoamericanos adoptaron nuevos modelos constitucionales y llevaron a cabo reformas jurídicas que reconocieron oficialmente la diversidad étnica y cultural, incluyendo derechos colectivos territoriales en sus naciones. Esto inauguró una nueva etapa para las formas de organización indígenas quienes, basadas en un proceso histórico de movilizaciones y demandas étnicas, participaron activamente en este proceso, cuestionando las políticas indigenistas de homogenización, asimilación o integración, que conllevaron la exclusión social y el genocidio físico y cultural de las poblaciones indígenas en la formación histórica y política de las naciones latinoamericanas. Así, desde un análisis histórico comparativo que se centra en Colombia y Brasil, siendo los primeros Estado-nación que acataron e incorporaron las políticas de la ciudadanía multicultural, comprobamos la influencia o el aporte de las movilizaciones indígenas en los avances constitucionales y a su vez los posteriores dilemas y contradicciones que enfrentaron estas organizaciones, entre los reconocimientos formales a la diferencia cultural/étnica y el avance de modelos de desarrollo neoliberales en sus territorios, ahora legalmente reconocidos por los Estados multiculturales.

Study of the glow that occurs when a bullet passes through a ballistic gel are presented. This phenomenon is all the more interesting as the glow occurs in various areas of the gel, including those that did not contact direct with the bullet. The emission spectrum of the gel mainly consists of a continuous component with atomic lines laid on it. The continuous component can be explained in different ways: one of the options is thermal radiation; however, the description of the observed phenomenon as luminescence is also not improbable.

Published: June 2022

The object of study in this work was the most advanced AlInGaN LEDs of the “UX:3” design with a distributed system of reflective contacts located on the back side of the emitting chip. The current dependences of the output optical power and emission spectral characteristics, including their distribution (mapping) over the emitting surface, in a wide range of operating currents up to ~ 30A have been studied. An analysis of the near-field emission by intensity and spectrum revealed a high uniformity of the current density distribution at all levels of excitation (no current crowding). Thus, the saturation of the optical power and the quantum efficiency droop are explained by purely internal factors, which are well described by the ABC-model.

Published: June 2022

The rise of a toroidal bubble in water obtained by injecting a pulsed jet of air into the water through a nozzle vertically upwards has been experimentally investigated. It was found that despite the decrease in the cross-section of the toroidal bubble during the ascent, its radius, depending on the distance traveled, grows linearly, as in the case of self-similar vortex rings. The coefficient of expansion of the bubble at different volumes of injected air is determined. A comparison was made with toroidal bubbles obtained when balloons burst in water. A qualitative explanation of the observed differences is given.

Authors: Penn Rick , Nezamis Eric
Published: June 2022

Estimates from the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) highlighted large increases in job openings and quits throughout 2021. Job openings reached a series high in December 2021 of 11.4 million, and quits reached a series high in November of 4.5 million. By contrast, layoffs and discharges trended lower throughout 2021, reaching a series low of 1.3 million in December. The series lows followed the large increase in layoffs and discharges that occurred at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, when this measure reached a series high of 13.0 million in March 2020. The movement in these JOLTS estimates signaled a stronger demand for labor in 2021, following the February–April 2020 pandemic-induced recession.
Online Partner Seeking and Sexual Behaviors Among Men Who Have Sex With Men From Small and Midsized Towns: Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Pravosud Vira , Ballard April M , Holloway Ian W , Young April M
Published: June 2022

Background

Men who have sex with men (MSM) residing outside of large urban areas are underrepresented in research on online partner seeking and sexual behaviors related to transmission of HIV.

Objective

We aimed to determine associations between the use of the internet or social networking apps (online tools) to meet partners for sex, dating, or for both purposes (online partner seeking) and sexual behaviors among MSM residing in small and midsized towns in Kentucky, United States.

Methods

Using peer-referral sampling and online self-administered questionnaires, data were collected from 252 men, aged 18 to 34 years, who had recently (past 6 months) engaged in anal sex with another man and resided in Central Kentucky. Using multivariable logistic regression models, we assessed associations of online partner seeking and HIV-related sexual behaviors.

Results

Most (181/252, 71.8%) of the participants reported using online tools for partner seeking. Of these 181 respondents, 166 (91.7%) had used online tools to meet partners for sex (n=45, 27.1% for sex only; and n=121, 72.9% for sex and dating) and 136 (75.1%) had used online tools to meet partners for dating (n=15, 11% for dating only; and n=121, 89% for sex and dating). Adjusted analyses revealed that MSM who had engaged in condomless insertive and receptive anal intercourse were less likely to report online partner seeking (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.22, 95% CI 0.07-0.68; P=.009 and aOR 0.25, 95% CI 0.10-0.66; P=.005, respectively). Increased number of insertive and receptive anal sex partners and substance use before or during sex were associated with higher odds of online partner seeking (aOR 1.31, 95% CI 1.11-1.55; P=.001; aOR 1.20, 95% CI 1.05-1.39; P=.008; and aOR 2.50, 95% CI 1.41-4.44; P=.002, respectively).

Conclusions

Among MSM who reside outside of large urban areas and practice online partner seeking, HIV risk-reduction interventions should address safer sex practices, including the risks for HIV transmission associated with alcohol or drug use before or during sex. MSM who do not practice online partner seeking are in need of continued outreach to reduce condomless anal sex.
Time-Varying Associations Between Device-Based and Ecological Momentary Assessment–Reported Sedentary Behaviors and the Concurrent Affective States Among Adolescents: Proof-of-Concept Study
Authors: Zink Jennifer , Yang Chih-Hsiang , Alves Jasmin M , McAlister Kelsey L , Huh Jimi , Pentz Mary Ann , Page Kathleen A , Dunton Genevieve F , Belcher Britni R
Published: June 2022

Background

Previous studies on affective state–sedentary behavior (SB) associations have not accounted for their potentially time-varying nature and have used inconsistent SB measurement modalities. We investigated whether the strength of the associations between affective states and SB varied as a function of the time of day and by SB measurement modality (device-measured SB vs ecological momentary assessment–reported screen-based SB) in youth.

Objective

This study aimed to establish a proof of concept that SB–affective state associations may not be static during the day. In addition, we aimed to inform the methodology of future work, which may need to model associations as functions of the time of day and carefully consider how SB is operationalized or measured.

Methods

A total of 15 adolescents (age: mean 13.07, SD 1.03 years; 10/15, 67% female; 6/15, 40% Hispanic; 10/15, 67% healthy weight) wore thigh-mounted activPAL accelerometers and simultaneously reported their screen-based SBs and concurrent positive and negative affective states via ecological momentary assessment for 7 to 14 days (N=636 occasions). Time-varying effect models (varying slopes) examined how each measure of SB was associated with concurrent affective states from 7 AM to 8 PM.

Results

Time-varying effect model plots revealed that these associations varied in strength throughout the day. Specifically, device-based SB was related to greater concurrent negative affect only after approximately 5 PM and was unrelated to concurrent positive affect. Screen-based SB was related to greater concurrent negative affect only from 7 AM to approximately 9 AM. This was also related to greater concurrent positive affect from 7 AM to approximately 9:30 AM and from approximately 3 PM to approximately 7 PM.

Conclusions

We provide preliminary evidence to suggest that future confirmatory studies investigating the SB–affective state relationship should consider the time-varying nature of these associations and SB measurement modality. There may be critical time windows when specific types of SBs co-occur with affect, suggesting that interventions may need tailoring to the time of day and type of SB if future studies using similar methodologies can replicate our findings.
Exploiting Intersentence Information for Better Question-Driven Abstractive Summarization: Algorithm Development and Validation
Authors: Wang Xin , Wang Jian , Xu Bo , Lin Hongfei , Zhang Bo , Yang Zhihao
Published: June 2022

Background

Question-driven summarization has become a practical and accurate approach to summarizing the source document. The generated summary should be concise and consistent with the concerned question, and thus, it could be regarded as the answer to the nonfactoid question. Existing methods do not fully exploit question information over documents and dependencies across sentences. Besides, most existing summarization evaluation tools like recall-oriented understudy for gisting evaluation (ROUGE) calculate N-gram overlaps between the generated summary and the reference summary while neglecting the factual consistency problem.

Objective

This paper proposes a novel question-driven abstractive summarization model based on transformer, including a two-step attention mechanism and an overall integration mechanism, which can generate concise and consistent summaries for nonfactoid question answering.

Methods

Specifically, the two-step attention mechanism is proposed to exploit the mutual information both of question to context and sentence over other sentences. We further introduced an overall integration mechanism and a novel pointer network for information integration. We conducted a question-answering task to evaluate the factual consistency between the generated summary and the reference summary.

Results

The experimental results of question-driven summarization on the PubMedQA data set showed that our model achieved ROUGE-1, ROUGE-2, and ROUGE-L measures of 36.01, 15.59, and 30.22, respectively, which is superior to the state-of-the-art methods with a gain of 0.79 (absolute) in the ROUGE-2 score. The question-answering task demonstrates that the generated summaries of our model have better factual constancy. Our method achieved 94.2% accuracy and a 77.57% F1 score.

Conclusions

Our proposed question-driven summarization model effectively exploits the mutual information among the question, document, and summary to generate concise and consistent summaries.
Effect of prophylactic intravenous amiodarone administration on reperfusion ventricular fibrillation after release of aortic cross-clamp in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery: study protocol for a double-blind randomized controlled trial. (Preprint)
Authors: Zhou Xiaokai , Zhang Zhenfeng , Gong Chanjuan , Fang Yin
Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND

Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a common arrhythmia occurred after the release of aortic cross-clamp (ACC) in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery. Repeated defibrillation and long duration of VF could increase myocardial injuries. In patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), VF is easier to occur and more difficult to be terminated. Amiodarone, known as class III antiarrhythmic agent, has the prominent properties of converting VF and restoring the sinus rhythm. Before ACC release, administration of amiodarone has been confirmed useful to reduce occurrence of VF. However, few studies focused on the effect of amiodarone before ACC release on reducing VF in patients with LVH.

OBJECTIVE

This study concentrates on the efficacy of prophylactic intravenous amiodarone administration on reperfusion VF after release of ACC in patients with LVH undergoing CPB surgery.

METHODS

This will be a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The trial is to enroll 54 patients with LVH aged 18 to 75 years who will undergo CPB surgery. All eligible participants will be randomly allocated to either the amiodarone or placebo group by using the block randomization in a 1:1 ratio. The primary endpoint will be the incidence rate of VF 30 minutes after ACC release and be assessed using the Chi-square test. All data will be analyzed in accordance with the intention-to-treat principle.

RESULTS

This study has been approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. This clinical trial protocol was developed based on the SPIRIT (Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials) 2013 Statement.

CONCLUSIONS

With this trial, we are hoping to demonstrate that prophylactic infusion of amiodarone before ACC release could reduce the occurrence of reperfusion VF in LVH patients.

CLINICALTRIAL

This study was registered on Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (http://www.chictr.org.cn/) with the ID ChiCTR2000035057

Published: June 2022

This study aimed at exploring the role of farmers' tenure in securing a loan, specifically the 'hiraman' agreement among farmers. A sample of 50 respondents was randomly selected and the data were collected mainly through a questionnaire. A descriptive research design was used to analyse and interpret the data collected. The findings revealed that hiraman agreements among farmers are common in a certain area of the Philippines. Most of the borrowers who joined this agreement are farmers who have a tenure as tenants, followed by the farmers who are registered owners/partly owners. It also revealed that there were no farmworkers/laborers that have been entered into this agreement as their role is primarily for the cultivation only, such as planting, growing, harvesting, etc. Furthermore, the study showed the unique characteristics of the agreement and the major reasons for the farmer availing of and securing this loan. However, farmers still encountered constraints during the agreement such as uncertainties in the legal rights of the borrower, and the unavailability of payment instalments. Hence, conducting sustainability training and seminars for resource efficiency, intensification of the subsidy programs, and increasing the presence of formal institutions in the areato help increase the farmers' income is highly recommended.

Abstract: Falling down from a wheelchair is among the significant reasons for clinical issues that are faced by older individuals, small babies, and handicapped individuals. These individuals will more often harm themselves from tumbling down when they are alone. When a falling occasion happens, clinical consideration needs to give promptly to diminish the gamble of the faller from getting serious wounds that might prompt demise. A few advances have been created and a few used webcams to screen their exercises. Nevertheless, the cost of movement and foundation is exorbitant and only relevant for the indoor environment. Some clients additionally stressed over their security issues. The current marketed gadget is by wearing a wearable remote crisis transmitter which confines the development of the client and produces a high Phoney problem. This examination proposed a wheelchair-individual fall identification framework using Arduino and gyroscopic sensor which is financially savvy and dependable to identify falls and alarm encompassing to call for help. For fall discovery, the mpu6050 sensor GSM module and Arduino are carried out into the framework. At the point when fall occasions happen, the information incorporating the area of the wheelchair will be sent to the caretakers of that person and the alarm fixed to the device will be turned on automatically. Also, this framework requires less execution cost and gives a speedy reaction. It can introduce in the current business wheelchair. For the future proposal, a superior GUI configuration can be executed into the framework other than that, more discovery frameworks can be added to build the precision of the framework.

Effects of Combined Waterlogging and Salinity Stress on Plants: A Review
Authors: Sachan Shephali , Ganguly Mukur , Verma Sangeeta
Published: June 2022

Abstract: The present scenario of the growing human population has led to the unsustainable expansion of agriculture and irrigated land, which is one of the main reasons for waterlogging and excessive salinity problems in semiarid, arid, and coastal regions. Waterlogging and salinity combination reduces the crop yields and ultimately leads to economic losses in different dimensions. The reduction of plant growth occurs at a much higher rate when compared to the growth reducing the ability of any individual stress. In the event of saline waterlogged stress, the functioning of intracellular K+/Na+ homeostasis gets disturbed; stomatal conductance, transpiration rate and net photosynthetic rate get decreased as well. The decreased chlorophyll content confirms the decreased photosynthetic rate in such conditions. Some plants develop adaptive features like low respiration rate, improving antioxidant capacity, increase in stele diameter, vascular number, aerenchyma and metaxylem development, increase in endodermis layer, salt ion channelization and their removal. The present review discusses in detail the changes, from phenotypic to molecular level, which the plant goes through to overcome the adverse effect of waterlogging and salinization stresses. We further suggest the integration of proper irrigation and drainage systems like management approaches to deal with the combined waterlogging and salinity problems.

Published: June 2022

Abstract: Modern farming practises have the potential to feed the world's 7.6 billion inhabitants. Despite the availability of sufficient food, individuals continue to suffer from malnutrition. Plant diseases reduce both the amount and the quality of total production. Building an image processing model for prediction or classification applications presents several obstacles. We present a deep learning model for illness detection that makes use of CNN and Capsule Network (CapsNet). The backbone of image processing is a convolutional neural network (CNN). The new architecture called as CapsNet is suggested to reduce the limitations and to achieve greater performance than standard neural networks. In this project, we analyze CNN and CapsNet for tomato plant disease datasets. The performance of both the models are measured and analysed. As a result, this approach may be used to a variety of plants and on a huge scale.

Abstract: This study designs and develops an improved bridgeless (BL) Cuk converter-based electric vehicle (EV) battery charger with a high-power factor and higher efficiency. It offers a low-cost, high-power-density-based charging solution for EVs. This charger has fewer components functioning during a single switching cycle, which decreases the extra conduction loss experienced by the typical charger's diode bridge rectifier. As a result, it boosts the charger's efficiency. The suggested topology also avoids the undesired capacitive coupling loop and unwanted conduction via the body diode of the inactive switch in the previously developed BL Cuk converter. This considerably enhances the charger's efficiency. A flyback converter synchronises the orders for constant current and constant voltage charging. The suggested charger draws a sinusoidal current from an alternating current main, and the overall harmonic distortion in the supply current is kept within the IEC 61000-3-2 requirements. The suggested charger's increased efficiency and power quality indices are studied to verify its good charging performance under all operational situations. Keywords: Bridgeless (BL) Cuk converter, discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), flyback converter, power factor correction (PFC), and power quality are all terms used to describe a battery charger (PQ).
Optimization of Operating Parameters for Tyre Pyrolysis Oil Blended Single Cylinder Diesel Engine
Authors: Bhatt P M
Published: June 2022

Abstract: Increasing industrialization and motorization led to a significant rise in demand for petroleum products. As these are the non renewable resources, it is difficult to predict the availability of these resources in the future resulting in uncertainty in its supply and price and impacting growing economies like India, importing 80% of the total demand of the petroleum products. Many attempts have been made by different researchers to find out alternate fuels for Internal Combustion engines. Many alternate fuels like Biodiesel, LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) and Alcohols are being used nowadays by different vehicles. In this context pyrolysis of scrap tyres can be used effectively to produce oil, thereby solving the problem of waste tyre disposal. In the present study Experimental investigations were carried out to evaluate the performance and emission characteristics of a single cylinder diesel engine fuelled by TPO10, TPO15, and TPO20 keeping the blend quality by controlling density and viscosity of tyre pyrolysis oil within permissible limit of euro IV diesel requirement to study its replace ability. The investigation involves three parameters such as blend proportion, injection timing and injection pressure, a simultaneous optimization method called Taguchi was used in this work. This method requires fewer numbers of trials for fixing optimum levels. As per this method nine experiments were required to be conducted and the results were used for optimization. This is the primary advantage as well as disadvantage of this method. In order to eliminate this difficulty and improve the quality of the research work, twenty-seven experiments were conducted in this work and the results were used for optimization. In addition, an ANOVA was also performed for the parameters to evaluate its percentage contribution over the desired output. Using the optimum levels, a full range experiment was conducted to compare its performance and emission behaviour with standard diesel operation.

Study of Bacterial Diversity of Raw and Pasteurized Milk
Authors: Jain Akshita V
Published: June 2022

Abstract: Milk is considered as a wholesome food containing protein, fats, sugars, vitamins and minerals. Milk, due to its high nutritional value, can support a rich microbiota. Even though, raw milk is sterile during secretion and pasteurized milk is packed sterile, contamination of milk may take place during handling, pre-processing activities and during storage. The main aim of this study was to detect adulteration, chemical and physical qualities and to assess the microbial load in raw and pasteurized milk. The current study's preliminary goal was to determine the quality of milk samples using physical tests (such as pH, color, taste, and texture) and to detect adulteration using various parameters such as (presence of starch, sugarcane, benzoic acid, etc), chemical tests (acidity, alcohol, phosphatase, protein, etc), and microbiological tests. Raw milk is appearing more contaminated with coliforms and normal flora than pasteurized milk. Adulteration of starch, sugarcane, and benzoic acid was discovered in milk samples analyzed. All of the milk samples did not meet the nutritional requirements. Keywords: Microbial Load in the Milk, Pasteurized Milk, Raw milk, Adulteration, Nutritional Quality of Milk
