Higher education is important for the social and economic development of an economy. In the recent past, the higher education sector has developed many folds in Pakistan. However, many aspects of the higher education sector are unexplored and need scientific examination. For example, how far the administrative services which aim to facilitate students and academic staff are efficient? The efficiency of administrative services is vital for the generation of human capital in the form of students with enhanced capabilities. In addition, efficient administrative services lead to efficient academic services leading to the growth of quality research and development in the country. The current study aims to examine the efficiency of administrative services between academia and students. Data is collected through a survey from seven female hostels of International Islamic University (IIU), Islamabad, Pakistan. Efficiency is examined through students’ perceptions about the quality of administrative services being provided. Students’ response reveals their views about administrative services in IIUI. The analysis includes several relevant dimensions of administrative service such as accommodation facilities, social services like sports and health, general aspects like cafeteria and foods, library, and laboratory facilities, etc. Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) is used to evaluate the efficiency perception and importance of academic services. Based on the empirical results, the nature of inefficiencies is identified to find possible dimensions for improvements.

Water is essential for life on earth. There were civilizations everywhere there was water. The issue of severe freshwater shortage on Earth results from the planet's limited freshwater resources, quickly growing human population, and improving living standards (mainly due to industrial and agricultural advancement). Numerous studies and research programs have focused on the future of the water situation and the quest for non-traditional water sources, such as desalination. Desalination has been regularly employed since the 1960s. Major technologies have improved efficiency, dependability, and cost since then. MSF served as the standard thermal technique for many years. The most advanced thermal process is MEE. However, it is not commonly employed. Since reverse osmosis (RO) has surpassed MSF as the most popular desalination method, it needs to be used as a standard. Desalination technology costs have significantly decreased over the past 30 years due to research and development that has reduced energy usage and improved design. Table 1 lists desalination methods according to their anticipated prices. Most of the costs associated with desalination are related to capital expenditure and energy prices, whereas expenses like operation and maintenance are almost constant.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: Currently, dermatologists across India are inundated with cases of dermatophytosis presenting with unusual large lesions, ring within ring lesions, multiple site lesions (tinea cruris et corporis), and corticosteroid modified lesions, making diagnosis a difficult bet. This changed face of dermatophytosis has created a real panic among dermatologists. The recent prevalence of dermatophytos is in India ranges from 36.6–78.4%. Skin mycosis is the most frequent form of skin infections accounting for 20-25% of world population Dermatophytosis management has become an important public health issue, with a large void in research in the area of disease pathophysiology and management. Methodology: A cross sectional study was conducted to find out the prevalence of Qooba in adult rural population of Pune, Maharashtra. Subjects in the age group of 30 – 60 years of either gender attending the outpatient departments of hospitals from the designated study areas were included for the study. The random sampling method was used to obtain the sample of studied population. Approval of the Institutional Ethical Committee was also obtained. Assessment of subjective and objective parameters was done as per the pre-tested Performa and scales. KOH test was used as investigation of evaluation. The collected data was entered in MS-Excel and the master chart prepared accordingly data. The qualitative data was analyzed by chi square test. Result: The prevalence of dermatophytosis was 18.88%. Majority of patients (60%) having dermatophytosis were in the age group of 30-35 years. Dermatophytosis was found to be predominant in males. Itching was found in all the positive cases. The results revealed that Tinea Cruris was the most prevalent among the cases. Conclusion: Overcrowding, low socioeconomic status, unhygienic living conditions, outdoor work, increased physical activity and excessive sweating predisposes to ring worm infection. The present study showed the involvement of several fungi in dermatophytosis infection and hence detection of the causative agent is necessary for appropriate treatment of dermatophytosis.

Published: November 2022

As a result of economic development and climatic change, arid and semi-arid areas are confronted with significant difficulties in the management of limited freshwater resources. For the most part, groundwater is the most significant water supply in these regions. Groundwater level prediction is a critical component of appropriate sustainable development and must be done correctly. The use of physical-based models is often used in the modelling and prediction of groundwater. However, owing to data shortages in many arid and semi-arid regions, they are not relevant in these areas. The usefulness of data-driven techniques in modelling complicated and nonlinear hydrological processes has been shown in many studies. It is the implementation and comparison of four algorithm-based models for forecasting groundwater levels that is the focal point of this research. This article compares the different Artificial Neural Network method and applies to the Jaspura Block of Banda Districts which is part of the Yamuna River Basin. For the forecast of groundwater levels four distinct algorithms Levenberg Marquardt, Gradient Descent, Scaled Conjugate Gradient and Bayesian regularization are used for optimal design. The ANN training data for input is collected from Recharge and Discharge data while groundwater level data for output layer were being used. The best algorithm comes to the Levenberg Marquardt algorithm in comparison with the other algorithms.

Population tendencies of Blackbuck Antilope cervicapra in four consecutive years at Basur Amruth Mahal Kaval Blackbuck Conservation Reserve, Karnataka, India
Authors: C. Vinay Kumar , Kumara Vijaya
Published: November 2022

This study was carried out to ascertain the status and trends of blackbuck population (Nt) in four consecutive years from 2017 to 2020 and to investigate the causative factors taking away their livelihood in a fragile and dynamic habitat of Basur Amruth Mahal Kaval Blackbuck Conservation Reserve with an area of 7.36 km2. Our results emerged with population changes (Nt) with total of 238, 262, 277 and 296 individuals in each year respectively displaying steady state increase. Adult females increased from 136 to 189 whereas adult males (59-60) showed near stable numbers prior to increased predation chances at the habitat edges between open grassland and tall bushes where fawns might be rarely detected. The population density (ïDp= 32.336 to 40.217 individuals per sq. km) showed gradual increasing trend. The dwindling blackbuck population prefers open grassland habitat with less fragmentation forces and avoid thick and tall vegetations. Population estimations of blackbuck using line transect methods in these areas with mixed vegetations containing tall shrubs (Prosopis juliflora, Dodonaeaviscosa) probably lead to biased detections. Habitat fragmentation, reduced grassland area due to invasive growth of weeds including Barleriamysorensis, overgrazing and poaching activities are the timeline issues of conservation in this area.

A review on adsorption efficiency of widely adopted adsorbents used in Defluoridation of aqueous media
Authors: Das Rosalin
Published: November 2022

The review article provides an insight on various adsorbents and their efficiency in fluorideremoval fromdrinking and waste water. The capacity of fluoride removal of adsorbent is dependent on pH, contact time,temperature, surface area of adsorbent and initial concentration of fluoride solution etc. In comparison tothe traditional natural methods, the synthetic and nanostructure-based adsorbents, exhibited higherperformance and efficiency of defluorination which provides a sustainable approach to safe drinking waterquality. The present paper deals with some widely adopted natural adsorbent, synthetic and nanostructurebasedadsorbents. The natural adsorbent includes, thermally treated lateritic soil, modified natural magnetiteore (Fe3O4) with aluminum and lanthanum ions, lateritic soils, Titanium hydroxide, limestone (LS) andaluminium hydroxide, sedimentation with calcium and aluminium. The Synthetic adsorbent includes,Surface-functionalized polyurethane foam (SPUF); Schwertmannite; Carbonaceous material from pyrolysisof sewage sludge; Chitosan. And the effective adsorbent nano scale structure includes, nanoscale aluminiumoxide hydroxide (AlOOH), Magnetic iron oxide/aluminium hydroxide composite, sulfatedoped Fe3O4/Al2O3 nanoparticles, nano-scale aluminum oxide hydroxide (nano-AlOOH), Graphene Nanoparticlesadsorbent, Al2O3/Bio-TiO2 nano composite (ABN), Green synthesized Fe3O4/Al2O3nanoparticles with coatedpolyurethane foams etc. The activated alumina is most conventional fluoride adsorbing material. However,activated alumina performs well in acidic environment with complex regeneration issue. Although othertraditional adsorbents remove fluoride from water but they have lower efficiency, which restrict theirapplication. In case of synthetic and nano structured based adsorbents, due to increased surface area, nontoxicnature, limited solubility in water and high adsorption efficiency, these methods are widely accepted andproven environmentally suitable.

Published: November 2022

Disease investigations in free-living and captive birds play crucial role in strategic planning for theirconservation by generating database on existing prevalence and spread of diseases. Most of the nativeIndian birds are not allowed to be kept as pets due to the legal protection which has been provided to themunder different legislations. This step has diverted bird-lovers to keep different types of exotic (i.e., non-native)birds as in-house pets. Out of all exotic birds, Budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus) is one of the mostcommon pet birds which are kept as in-house companions in urban as well as rural areas of India. Thesebirds have close proximity to humans (keepers, zoo-keepers, sellers, owners and veterinary practitionerswhile handling); however, the details pertaining to existing status of diseases (e.g., infectious, non-infectiousand zoonotic diseases) of Budgerigar population in India are sparse. Therefore, a study was undertaken todetermine prevalence of endoparasites and ectoparasites in Budgerigars kept by owners and sellers atdifferent places in Gujarat (India). Ascaridia spp., Capillariaspp., Strongyle spp., Eimeria spp. and OtherCoccidia were identified as common endoparasites/protozoa while Knemidocoptes spp. (mite), Sideroferuslunula (feather mite) and Heteromenopon spp. (lice) were identified as common ectoparasites in the screenedpopulation of Budgerigars. The prevalence rates varied among birds kept by owners and sellers whichwere correlated with various managemental aspects. The data generated through the study will provideinformation on existing endo- and ectoparasites of Budgerigars which will be beneficial to understandepidemiological aspects. Similar investigations involving wider geographic locations can be encouraged togenerate strategies for disease prevention and treatment.
Prevalence of Xenoestrogen in muscle tissues of edible fin and shell fish collected from local fish market in Mumbai, India
Authors: Shingadia Hitesh U.
Published: November 2022

The uptake of noxious waste transpires directly from surrounding marine water across the absorptivebody surface and from food in conjunction with the seawater to finally into the alimentary canal of theaquatic organisms. Xenoestrogen are often associated with sewage outfalls and industrial sites. Recentstudies also suggest that the public may be exposed to BPA (Bisphenol A) by handling cash register receiptsapart from plethora of sources. Phthalate esters are widely used plasticizers that are present in many dailyused products. Fishes and various other invertebrates have been widely documented as bio-indicators ofpollution and have been investigated to estimate the health of the environment. The bioavailability of variousxenoestrogen compounds is a key factor in of concern in tissues of aquatic biota. Researchers have raisedconcern as some laboratory animal studies report subtle developmental effects in fetuses and newbornsexposed to low doses of BPA. The widespread use of phthalates makes them almost ubiquitous and thus,the issues about their long-term effects on human health are of great concern. The aim of this study was tosurvey the actual presence of xenoestrogens in muscle tissue of few of the edible variety of fishes ofcommercial significance. In the present study the actual presence of the suspected endocrine disrupterMonomthylpthalate in 12-51 ng/g & Bisphenol A (BPA) in 5 to 68 ng/g in the muscle tissue of finfish andmonomthylothalate in 18-26 ng/g & BPA in 8 to 36 ng/g in the muscle tissue of shell fish. Based on thepresent measured concentrations in the edible muscle tissues and on literature derived toxicity data it wasconcluded that neither eco-toxicological effects nor estrogenic effects are likely to occur in the presentsituation. The bottom dwelling organisms predominantly devour upon the benthic fauna which mighthave accumulated variety of xenoestrogens that was absorbed by the sediment since BPA, justify itsoccurrence. Safe disposal of industrial effluents, domestic sewage and navigational activities should bepracticed in harmony with nature and enforcement of laws be enacted to protect our marine environmentand/or, recycled to circumvent these contaminants from entering into the marine environment.

Higher accumulation of lead in perennial old plant leaves were observed. Young plants eithershowed noresidual lead or the amount of lead if present was insignificant. No residual lead was observed in smallherbs present on both the sides of the road. Significant decrease in total chlorophyll and phaeophytincontent was recorded in plant leaves situated on the roadsides of the ghat area when compared to plantscollected from deep inside the forest area far away from freeways / highways. Insignificant decrease or nochange in carotenoid content was recorded in plant leaves collected from the plants available on the roadsidesof the ghat area. Change in leaf colour and heavy surface deposition was noted in exposed leaves of theplants. Residual lead level was untraceable in control plant leaves. Initial increment in photosynthetic ratewas observed at LC00 (MAC) of lead nitrate in petriplate culture compared to control valuefollowed bydepletion of photosynthetic rate in higher lead nitrate concentrations in petriplate culture. Tissue respirationand photosynthesis rate significantly declined in lead exposed seedlings in petriplate cultureexperimentsdepleting the productivity of the exposed seedlings when compared to control seedlings. The GPP valuedecreased in all exposed seedlings indicating the impact of the toxicant. Notable but insignificant amountof residual lead was noted in lead nitrate exposed 6day old seedlings in petriplate culture. The observedobservation in all parameters studied relates to residual lead accumulation in the seedlings which might have impacted different physiological activity in the exposed ragi seedlings.

The study of biographies of those personalities who have contributed in one way or the other in influencing history can be quite fascinating because it furthers our understanding of broader issues and processes in any given society. Quite a number of historians have written biographies of those among the colonial chiefs who in one way or another played important roles in shaping the destinies of their people and of this country to a certain extent. There were those who utilized every opportunity created by the colonial officials to improve education, agriculture, health, water and infrastructure in their areas. Such colonial chiefs included senior chief Waruhiu wa Kung‟u, chief Musa Nyandusi, Odera Akong‟o, Njiri wa Karanja and paramount chief Kinyanjui Gathirimu just to name a few. As I read through the literature on colonial chiefs, it occurred to me that there is no one who has written a biography on colonial chiefs in Thagicu District even though there were a few chiefs among them the likes of senior chief Kathuru Nyagah and chief Mwendwa wa Kitavi who played very important roles in shaping the destinies of their people. The mention of the name of senior chief Kathuru among the Thagicu rekindles memories of a leader who through collaboration with colonial officials played a significant role in improving the lives of Thagicu people. Hence it is for this reason that this research was carried out with a view to exposing who chief Kathuru was and how and why he had become what he was. This thesis was an attempt to write the biography of the Late Senior Chief Kathuru Nyagah of Thagicu community.

Latar Belakang: Operasi bedah sectio caesarea mempunyai risiko mengganggu intregritas atau keutuhan tubuh bahkan dapat merupakan ancaman kehidupan pasien. Pasien post operasi sectio caesarea dapat mengalami hipotermi yang disebabkan oleh suhu yang rendah di kamar operasi, luka yang terbuka dan aktifitas otot yang menurun akibat efek anestesi spinal, sehingga dapat memperlama proses penyembuhan luka operasi. Salah satu penatalaksanaan untuk menangani kasus hipotermi di ruang pemulihan adalah dengan penggunaan selimut elektrik, namun penggunaan selimut tersebut di Rumah sakit P Jakarta belum dijadikan standar prosedur operasional.
Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui pengaruh elektrik blanket terhadap kejadian menggigil dan peningkatan suhu tubuh pasien post operasi sectio caesarea yang mengalami hipotermia di ruang pemulihan rumah sakit P Jakarta.
Metode:  Penelitian kuantitatif dengan desain penelitian, one group pre-test post-test design adalah kegiatan penelitian yang memberikan tes awal (pre-test) sebelum diberikan perlakuan, setelah diberikan perlakuan barulah memberikan tes akhir (post-test). Pada pasien menjalani bedah section caesarea diruang pemulihan Rumah Sakit P di Jakarta. Populasi pada penelitian ini adalah semua pasien yang menjalani operasi sectio caesarea di Rumah Sakit P di Jakarta selama penelitian berlangsung dan memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi penelitian.
Hasil: Pada uji paired sampel T-Test Pada data menunjukan nilai signifikasi sig (2-tailled 0,00) yang artinya nilai signifikasi 2-tailled 0,00 < 0,05. Maka terdapat pengaruh yang bermakna antara data suhu sebelum dan sesudah pemberian intervensi berupa electric blanket.
Kesimpulan: Adanya pengaruh elektrik blanket terhadap kejadian menggigil dan hipotermi serta peningkatan suhu tubuh pasien yang menjalani pembedahan sectio caesarea selama berada di ruang pemulihan rumah sakit P Jakarta.
