Human resource insufficiency in the resource constraint countries like India insists that the existing human resources are optimally utilized. Supportive supervision is one such strategy to ensure retention of knowledge and skills of existing service providers for optimal implementation of any national health programme. The present study ascertained and documented various models of supportive supervision for implementation of Integrated Management of Neonatal and Childhood Illnesses (IMNCI) strategy, to reduce under 5 mortality, in terms of its feasibility, sustainability, effectiveness, success and limitation in selected districts of Rajasthan, Orissa and Bihar states in India. The comparison of IMNCI indicators one year after the initiation of supportive supervision had shown that three post natal visits by health workers within 10 days of birth increased by 11.3 %, 20.2% and 37.6% in the districts - Tonk in Rajasthan, Mayurbhanj in Orissa and Vaishali in Bihar, respectively. There was a marked increase in the referral rates for both young infants and sick children in these states. More focused and regular supervisory visits kept health workers motivated and led to better IMNCI indicators in Bihar as compared to Rajasthan and Orissa. Model of supportive supervision involving both internal and external agency was found to be more feasible, sustainable and successful.

Wear of soil engaging components occurs because the materials used are normally softer than the natural abrasives in the soil. Most of blades of rotavator are manufactured locally which are hardly at par with the standards in terms of material, shape and size which affects operational life of rotary tool. So, there was a need to study wear characteristics of rotary blades so as to provide the proper blades in the rotary tools. Study was conducted in rotary soil bin in loamy soil and sandy loam soil. L-Shape blade of four different makes was mounted on the two flanges and their speed varied from 140-150 rpm. Two rollers along their stand were mounted on soil bin for compressing the soil upto 4.5 - 5.0 kg/cm2 compaction. The width of rotary blades was measured before and after the wear test. The profile change of rotary blades can also be used to determine the wear characteristics of tillage tools. The decrease in width of blade T1,T2, T3 and T4 at starting point of blade section were 10.65%, 13.95%, 3.68% and 4.36 %, respectively in loam soil while the decrease in width of blade T1,T2,T3 and T4 at starting point of blade section were 15.10%, 17.10%, 13.50% and 18.65 %, respectively in sandy loam soil.Keywords

Distributed Arithmetic (DA) is a high speed multiplication technique used for implementation of digital filters. The complicated multiplication-accumulation operation is converted to the shifting and adding operation when the DA algorithm is directly applied to realize FIR filter. In this paper the distributed arithmetic based design scheme for non recursive DSP systems requiring high speed computing is designed. Implementation for FPGAs has been done on Spartan 3E series FPGA, target device (XC3S500E) from Xilinx. A significant decline in delay is reported for an FIR filters from 8.188ns to 4.778ns using DA algorithm.

Nutritionally, mushrooms are low in energy and fat but high in protein, carbohydrate, and dietary fibre. Mushrooms contain a variety of minerals and trace elements such as potassium, and copper and vitamins such as riboflavin, niacin, and folates. They have been used as food for centuries because of their unique taste. Mushrooms are valuable resources for food, medicine and nutraceuticals. Now days, the people are more health conscious and focused on valuable food. This paper review focused on composition and medicinal importance of mushroom.Keywords

Now-a-days people are more health conscious so they prefer nutritious diet to protect from diseases. Due to medicinal importance of mushrooms, cultivation of mushrooms have now become popular all over the world. In addition to its nutritious importance, cultivation of this crop is also good source of income. In Sangrur district, farmers are adopting it as additional source of income on large and small scale. Cultivation of mushroom is a scientific and technical approach. KVK Sangrur is providing practical training on mushroom cultivation during growing season. Mushroom cultivation can help reduce vulnerability to poverty and strengthens livelihoods through the generation of a fast yielding and nutritious source of food and a reliable source of income. Every year approximately 60 farmers got trained by KVK Sangrur and nearly thirty per cent farmers of district are adopting mushroom cultivation from small to large scale.Keywords

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to evaluate the immediate effect of Muscle Energy Technique on Quadratus Lumborum Muscle on pain level and active Lumbar Range of motion in patients with acute and sub acute nonspecific Low back pain. [Subjects and Method] Sixty patients with nonspecific low back pain and limited lumbar ROM were selected. The subjects were randomly assigned to an experimental group(n=30), which received treatment consisting of Muscle Energy Technique to Quadratus Lumborum muscle and hot pack, while that of control group received only hot pack to lower back. Pain levels using NPRS and Lumbar ROM using Modified Schober’s test were measured before and immediately after the interventions in both groups. [Results] Both the groups showed significant improvement in outcome measures. However, the Experimental group showed better results on comparing with control group. [Conclusion] The combination of Muscle Energy Technique to Quadratus Lumborum muscle along with hot pack treatment was found to be effective in reducing pain and improving lumbar ROM after a single intervention session.Keywords
