ABSTRACT
In this study, we processed Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) data using partial subpixel mapping methods for delineating surface occurrences of fertilizer mineral i.e., phosphorite in dolomite and carbonate-bearing chert in the Aravalli Supergroup. We applied feature-oriented principal component analysis to derive an image composite for delineating the spatial extent of carbonate rich zones within the Lunaveda Group of rocks. Subsequently, we used image spectra of the surface exposure of rock phosphate of the existing mine at Khatama area as the reference for implementing adaptive coherence estimator (ACE) algorithm in the VNIR -SWIR bands of ASTER data to derive the abundance map of phosphorite. We confirmed the presence of phosphate in the identified phosphate anomaly zones during field surveys by implementing rapid colorimetric test that is proven for identifying the presence of phosphate in the samples.
We also used the available surface geochemical data of P2O5 to establish the synergy between geochemical data and identified geochemical anomaly.

ABSTRACT
The demand for raw materials is increasing rapidly, leading to higher production targets for mining industries. Currently, largescale opencast mining operations are causing extensive damage to forest areas, agricultural land, and various habitats for humans and animals. Despite these negative impacts, mining plays a crucial role in our national economy, serving as the second backbone of the country after agriculture. Given the inevitability of mining operations, it is essential to carry them out in a sustainable manner, minimizing or even eliminating environmental harm. This study focuses on the challenges associated with iron ore mining and emphasizes the significance of ecological restoration and land reclamation in mitigating environmental consequences. The focus of this research work is the implementation of a comprehensive procedural approach to achieve sustainable mine reclamation in an easy way. The primary objective is to restore the biodiversity of the Saranda Forest ecosystem. To accomplish this, a three-tier plantation model was adopted, involving the strategic planting of 2,664 trees and 3,136 herbs/shrubs in 1.5 hector degraded backfilled area. This initiative aims to rehabilitate the degraded land that has been adversely affected by mining activities.

Published: September 2024

This study observed the effects of school plant variables on the performance of technical education students. The correlational survey research design was adopted for the study. The study sampled is Ambrose Alli University ( AAU), Ekpoma,. 50 technical education students in the department of vocational and technical education were used, no sampling method was used as all the technical education students were used for the study. A researcher- designed questionnaire titled ‘School Plant Variables Questionnaire” (SPVQ) was used to collect data on relative organization and utilization of school plant facilities in the schools. The construct and content validity of the instrument was done by experts in research. The questions items were reviewed by the specialists and corrections were affected as suggested by them. After a test- retest treatment within two weeks interval, the scale recorded a cronbach alpha of 0.75. The study found out that school plant facilities (Classrooms, workshops, relaxation centres) were located considerable distance from where students resides thus requiring longer time for students to move into or from them for teaching and learning. Also, a significant relationship was established between school plant organization and utilization on academic performance with F- value (0.36) critical F- value (0.19) at 05 level of significance. School plant organization and utilization on student attendance/ punctuality at lessons were found to be significantly related with F-value (0.7921) critical F- value (0.16) at .05 level of significance. The study concluded that school plant organization and utilization have a role to play on the effectiveness of instruction and the ultimate performance of students in their examinations. It thus recommended the construction of ‘Integrated Classrooms’ that can house almost all teaching and learning activities, with relaxation centres under one big roof and hostel accommodation to accommodates all students closer to the big roof building.

Glutathione is one of the non-enzymatic antioxidants that is also involved in regulation of cellular proliferation and apoptosis. The application of Glutathione for skin lightening and depigmentation in dermatology started after discovery of its anti-melanogenic properties. There is still a lack of evidence regarding its patient population, dosage schedule, and safety on long-term use. The objective of this study is to analyze the usage pattern of Glutathione from dermatologists in India based on their clinical experience. Questionnaire-based cross-sectional study conducted amongst dermatologists to understand indications, administration, safety, and adverse events associated with Glutathione therapy. Data entry was done in Microsoft Excel and descriptive statistics was applied. Seventy-one responses were collected with the average experience of dermatologists being 5.24 + 7.32 years. 52.11% of these dermatologists routinely prescribe Glutathione therapy. The most common use is skin lightening given through the oral route. The preferred dose for oral route is 250mg given twice daily empty stomach for 4 weeks, topical route is 2% (w/w) applied once daily for 10 weeks, and intravenous route is 1200mg injection given weekly over 30 minutes. Only 3 out of 37 prescribing doctors have seen side effects. 54% of dermatologists feel that there is insufficient safety data available for this therapy. This study shows the current practices of Glutathione therapy by dermatologists while also pointing to the need for more studies to be done with a larger sample size for a longer duration so that the use is standardized with improved safety.

: To obtain balanced knee with severe varus deformity, release of contracted tissues and removal of osteophytes is necessary. MCL release is essential step towards achievement of ligament balancing during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with varus deformity. This led to over-release of the superficial MCL, hematoma formation, knee joint line elevation and instability. To overcome these, method of bone resection of medial proximal tibia (MPT) with minimal medial soft tissue release called reduction osteotomy (RO). Our study aims to evaluate clinical, radiological benefits of RO over progressive medial soft tissue release during a primary TKA with severe varus deformity, and quantification of method of bone resection of MPT for achieving soft tissue balancing in TKA. This study was conducted at Apollo Hospitals, Navi Mumbai included 24 patients having osteoarthritis with varus deformities more than 10 degrees. All necessary blood investigations with X-ray knee AP(standing), lateral view, scanogram were done and clinically, OKS(Oxford Knee Score) and KSS (Knee Society Score) were assessed pre-operatively & post-operatively. Patients were followed up at 3 months.: There was significant improvement in OKS and KSS at 3 months. For each unit of medial gap deficit, there was corresponding 2.14 units of Proximal tibia vertical osteotomy thickness. For each unit change of Pre-op varus angle, there was a corresponding 0.38 units of Proximal tibia vertical osteotomy thickness.: This prospective RCT on TKA indicated that in patients with severe varus deformity, addition of MPT Vertical Reduction Osteotomy step was better than conventional technique, as it could decrease intraoperative time, by bypassing the step of progressive release of medial soft tissue structures and repeated assessment of medial versus lateral gap balance to achieve a rectangular extension gap. Morbidity and complications due to risk of excessive soft tissue release and need for thicker insert or constraint implant was avoided.

Giant cell tumors (GCT) are benign tumors with potential for aggressive behaviour and capacity to metastasize. Although rarely lethal, benign bone tumors may be associated with a substantial disturbance of the local bony architecture that can be particularly troublesome in peri-articular locations. It is characterized by a proliferation of mononuclear stromal cells and the presence of many multi- nucleated giant cells with homogenous distribution.There is no widely held consensus regarding the ideal treatment method selection. There are advocates of varying surgical techniques ranging from intra-lesional curettage to wide resection. Although GCT is classified as a benign lesion, few patients develop progressive lung metastases with poor outcomes. Treatment is mainly surgical. Options of chemotherapy and radiotherapy are reserved for selected cases. A case of giant cell tumor of distal femur with pathological fracture is reported here. A 39 yr old male with h/o trivial trauma presented with swelling and tenderness over Left thigh and knee. A detailed work up was done and a GCT of distal femur (causing pathological fracture) was confirmed. Patient was managed with surgery in which Tumor excision, curettage and bone grafting was done, and the fracture fixed with locking compression plate. After 6 months of follow up, fracture was well united with no radiological sign of recurrence of tumor.

The satellite system used for navigation and positioning is called the Global Positioning System (GPS). The GPS Garmin 60s and 64 have similar weaknesses to other GPS models, but their main advantage is their user-friendly interface, allowing anyone to operate them and quickly determine their geographic coordinates. On the other hand, the Trimble GeoXT 3000 Series offers the advantage of higher GPS accuracy. It includes advanced features such as integrated cellular data, which enables voice calls using a handheld device, and it can also be used for taking photos. The research aims to analyze the positional errors of the Garmin GPS models 60s and 64s compared to the Trimble GeoXT 3000 Series in boundary measurement within the ULM KHDTK area. The data processing method involves using descriptive statistics to determine the differences in actual position distances between the two sets of sampled coordinate points. The primary data collected consists of 40 sample points spaced 100 meters apart. The results of this study indicate that the positional errors of the GPSMAP 60s and GPS Garmin 64s devices compared to the Trimble GeoXT 3000 Series have mean values of 6.747 meters and 5.318 meters, respectively. With a 95% confidence level, the range of positional errors is between 6.10 meters and 7.39 meters for the GPSMAP 60s and between 4.63 meters and 6.01 meters for the GPS Garmin 64s.Sistem satelit sebagai navigasi dan penentuan terhadap posisi yang dimiliki dan banyak negara yang mengelolanya yaitu Global Positioning System (GPS).

Objectives. To analyze War on Drugs encounters and their relationships to health care utilization among White people who use drugs (PWUD) in 22 Appalachian rural counties in Kentucky, West Virginia, Ohio, and North Carolina. Methods. We recruited White PWUD using chain referral sampling in 2018 to 2020. Surveys asked about criminal–legal encounters, unmet health care needs, and other covariates. We used generalized estimating equations to regress unmet need on criminal–legal encounters in multivariable models. Results. In this sample (n = 957), rates of stop and search, arrest, incarceration, and community supervision were high (44.0%, 26.8%, 36.3%, and 31.1%, respectively), as was unmet need (68.5%). Criminal–legal encounters were unrelated to unmet need (stops: adjusted prevalence ratio [APR] = 1.13; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.97, 1.32; arrest: APR = 0.95; 95% CI = 0.78, 1.15; incarceration: APR = 1.01; 95% CI = 0.89, 1.14; community supervision: APR = 0.99; 95% CI = 0.90, 1.09). Conclusions. Contrasting with findings from predominantly Black urban areas, criminal–legal encounters and unmet need were unrelated among White Appalachian PWUD. Research should explore whether and under what conditions White supremacy’s benefits might buffer adverse impacts of the War on Drugs in Appalachia.

We have our work cut out for us… but then, we always have in our industry. Following the crippling effects of the oil embargo in 1973, the price of crude oil climbed high and fast to the top of the charts. That increase in crude oil value brought students to petroleum engineering programs in droves around the world. It was not just the crude; it was the value of the degree program. Students rightly saw an opportunity to work in an industry that fueled the engine of the global economy, lit their homes, warmed their food, and moved people around the continents, all reliably and affordably.
The post-embargo peak in enrollment was only topped by the peak following the shale boom of the mid-2000s. After the post-embargo boom in the 1980s came the bust. Similarly, many of us were not left standing when the mid-2000 boom busted. The price of oil is climbing again; natural gas and crude oil use is up and consistently so, but the petroleum engineering enrollments are not (Fig. 1).
Depending on where you started along the x-axis in your career (Fig. 1), you may already know this story. What’s different now in an industry known to be cyclical, where we’ve seen this before? If higher crude oil prices and concomitant salaries are not bringing in the students, what will?
The demand for STEM graduates is high across industries, and it’s particularly acute in the oil and gas sector. The US faces a significant shortage of STEM graduates to meet the needs of critical industries. This scarcity raises concerns about our ability to fill specialized roles, such as petroleum engineering, which are crucial for the energy sector’s development over the next century. If we struggle to produce enough STEM graduates overall, how can we expect to meet the specific demands of the oil and gas industry in the coming decades?
There are a few reasons for this new trend. More than half of Americans say that STEM studies are too hard and nearly a quarter believe that STEM studies are not useful for a career. The National Academies have been sounding the alarm for more than 20 years about where we are going technologically, as a nation, and who is going to get us there.
Second, within STEM degrees in general, there are fewer petroleum engineering, or equivalent graduates. While additional energy types in the mix have been growing for years, the sharp move toward renewable energy and simultaneously painting hydrocarbons as undesirable is recent.
