Objectives: A study was conducted in Jaipur, Rajasthan. The objectives were to determine (1) the oral health status (caries and fluorosis experience) and treatment needs of children in Jaipur, (2) the fluoride concentration in drinking water sources in Jaipur, and (3) possible caries risk factors.
Materials and method: Children aged 6 and 12 years from four socio-demographic areas were targeted in this study. Schools were stratified on the basis of socio-demographic status: rural, urban-upper middle class, -lower middle class, and -lower class. A total of 1600 children aged 6 and 12 years, that is, 400 in each of the socio-demographic classes constituted the sample size of study. Dental caries and fluorosis experience was determined according to WHO guidelines. A questionnaire was completed by the 12-year-olds to obtain information on oral health behaviour and exposure to caries risk factors.
Results: The mean dmft scores for 6-year-olds was 1.01 and 60% were caries-free. The equivalent DMFT scores for 12-year-olds were 0.50 and 72%, respectively. Fluorosis prevalence (very mild or more) was 51.5%. The results of the multiple variable logistic regression analysis indicated that most degrees of fluorosis were associated with significantly less caries experience compared with no fluorosis (ORs of 0.56 or less). Socio-demographic status was also a significant independent predictor of caries experience of caries. Compared with rural children, urban-upper middle class children were more than 50% likely to experience one or more DMFT (OR=1.56).
Conclusions: Caries experience in the primary and permanent dentitions of children is lower than the goals set by National Oral Health Care Programme (NOHCP). High levels of fluorosis are probably due to high levels of fluoride naturally occurring in drinking water (1.25-2.5 mg/L) in urban and rural area respectively, and this indicate that further control of dental caries in Jaipur must be achieved by means other than water fluoridation. Urban children are more likely to experience caries compared with rural children because of easy access to a rich sugar diet.

Due to costlier and unaffordable health care, Government has been introducing various measures time to time. Similarly, a newer health insurance scheme was introduced for Below-Poverty-Line population, called Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana. A descriptive study was conducted in a multispecialty tertiary level institute of North India to understand the awareness level and utilization of the scheme and Out of pocket expenditure borne by the beneficiaries and impact of financial burden and quality of care provided by institute. 53 (42.7%) respondents got awareness about scheme through media while 39 (31.4%) through political gatherings. Satisfaction level was more than 75% with respect to clinicians' clinical and behavioural characteristics, while satisfaction was 70.0% with nursing cooperative care and sympathetic nature. The hospital had spent about 4.85 lakhs for treatment against the total incentives of Rs 5.72 lakhs. None of beneficiary made any expenditure from Out of Pocket. These findings are an eye opener to know where the patients stand with regard to their knowledge and awareness about insurance schemes. As catastrophic health expenditures are a major cause of impoverishment and protection can be further enhanced if government design changes as incorporated by RSBY or make the premium affordable, especially for the poorer sections.Keywords

Bathing is an important activity of daily living and should be a pleasurable experience. Adequate and suitable bathing and washing facilities can help to ensure that patients are bathed in private and with dignity. The study was conducted in a Government Multispecialty Hospital with the objective to assess and analyze the inadequacies in public health facilities. Poor access and inadequate adaptations for wheelchair users were also highlighted. A total of 74 baths, 142 washrooms and 124 washbasins (both in IPD and OPD of Hospital) were surveyed. None such studies had been conducted to assess the inadequacies in the public health facilities in health care organizations. All bathrooms and washrooms had proper location and were spacious. 99.5% of the baths had dual water supply; cold and hot. 99.5% baths were clean and non slippery. No bath hoists and non slip mats were present in any of the bath, while 37.8% (28) didn't have bath rods. There were separate male and female washrooms with having appropriate signage (98.0%). About 15.5% (22) washrooms were not properly clean and 17.6% (25) were foul smelling. The facilities for the handicapped and wheelchairs users were not appropriate. 97.0% (121) of the washbasins have mirrors, while towel rods and soap cases were found in 88.7% (110) and 97.5% (121) respectively. So, lot emphases need to be given to improve the decor, cleanliness, and general environment for making washing and bathing a dignified and relaxing experience. Hospital managers, doctors, and matrons should focus on these important issues and it might be a good idea to make these facilities a key factor in star ratings of hospitals.- Cost Analysis of Outsourcing Bio-medical Waste Management Services in a Tertiary Level Multispecialty Government Hospital

With the notification of Biomedical Waste Management (BMW) Rules 1998, health care institutions are self responsible to dispose of BMW and it costs a significant part of overall budget of a hospital. In the BMW management, two types of costs are incurred by hospitals viz. internal and external. Internal cost is the cost for segregation, disinfection, internal storage and transportation and external cost involves off site transport and final disposal. A descriptive study was conducted in multispecialty Hospital to do cost analysis in outsourcing of BMW management. Approximately 183 Kg of infectious waste is generated daily while load of plastic and general waste is 49 kg and 1,050 Kg respectively. The total expenditure was INR 28, 60,394 after deducting the revenue generated (INR 5, 67,060/-). Load of BMW produced per bed/day is 1.84 Kg. and the hospital has to bear the expenditure of INR 7,837/-per day and INR 11.26/bed/day.Keywords

This study aims to understand children's (in the age group of 6 to 10 years) influence on Environmentally Sustainable Consumption Decisions (ESCD). The data was collected from 120 respondents consisting of children and their parents. The scope of study was extended to 10 product categories and across three decision-making stages of sustainable consumption. Quantitative analysis was conducted on data collected through a 33-item questionnaire. The results show that children do exercise influence on environmentally sustainable consumption of certain product types. These findings help marketer to gain at better understanding of the influence of children's power on environmentally sustainable consumption decisions (ESCD)so that they can better design their market actions. This exploratory study demonstrates that children and parents both perceive children's influence on environmentally sustainable consumption decision for various product categories.Keywords

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the major causes of cardiovascular diseases in developing countries. CHD among neonates and young children is responsible for the largest proportion of mortality (30-50%) caused by birth defects. Though there is a significantly reducing trend observed in both overall and infant mortality resulting from CHD in developed countries like USA and Europe, CHD contributes 14% among 10.3 million total deaths in India, with 1931 disability adjusted life years (DALYs) per 100,000 (refs 2, 3).- Dynamics of Higher Education in Punjab

The present study attempts to review the growth of higher education in state of Punjab based on three parameters: number of institutions (including universities, colleges of general education and professional education), enrollment of students in various courses and teachers employed during the period 1990**2014. For an in-depth analysis, average annual growth rate were calculated during the period 19902014, which is further divided into three sub-periods: P2 (1990**1999), P3 (2000**2009), P4 (2010**2014). The results reveal that due to social and political pressure, the higher education system in Punjab, especially, private universities and professional colleges has expanded rapidly during the period 2004**14, but this expansion is without proportionate improvement of essential infrastructure facilities and faculty employment. This affects quality and standard of higher education in the State adversely. The study advocates adoption of effective measures to mobilize financial resources and reassessment of courses offered, so as to ensure better job placements and implementation of public**private partnership for better management of higher education institutes.Keywords

Needle stick and sharp injuries (NSSI) among Health Care have a significant impact on the morbidity and mortality. Preventing NSSI is an essential part and every healthcare facility should have an infection control program in work place. A two months descriptive study was conducted in city hospital, Chandigarh to evaluate NSSI among Housekeeping Workers (HkW) specifically to determine the occurrence of NSSI, circumstances under which NSSI occur and measures to prevent NSSIs. Out of 434 HkW, 244 were identified at risk of NSSI. The self structured questionnaire were administered to participants to assess awareness and importance of handling BMW, education and training of BMW handling, causes of injuries etc. 93.0% (214) of HkW had knowledge of segregation, categorization and significance of color coding, 96.5% (222) were well aware of the efforts taken by the hospital authorities in the BMW management. No HkW has ever been imparted training regarding BMW management and all came to know while working in the hospital only. After NSSI exposure 32% (74) of HkW responded immediately, 10 per cent took action later on the same day while the rest did not take any action. When asked about factors for NSSI, 94% (214) responded that they themselves were responsible. NSSIs are observed in all categories of Healthcare workers (HCW) and there is a scope for improvement in safety protocols. Preventive strategies have to be devised and reporting must be made mandatory. Such programs and innovations are necessary for all HCW safety and security.Keywords

Pregnancy is long and special journey for a woman but it places the health of the mother at risk. Pre-eclampsia is very serious and second leading cause of maternal morbidity. Stress can cause hypertension through repeated blood pressure elevations as well as by stimulation of the nervous system to produce large amount of vasoconstricting hormones. Among different complementary therapies, music therapy is found to be very effective in the recent years. In this study, A Quantitative Quasi Experimental Research Design and Approach was used. Sample was collected by using non-probability purposive sampling technique with sample size of 50. Study was conducted in Guru Gobind Singh Medical college and Hospital, Faridkot and Guru Nanak Dev Hospital, Amritsar. Music therapy was provided to experimental group for 20 minutes in morning and evening for 2 consecutive days to the antenatal mother with PIH. Structured interview has been used to assess the stress by Modified perceived stress scale. Sphygmomanometer and stethoscope used to measure the blood pressure. In experimental group, values of mean and SD during pre-interventional assessment are 6.04±2.05 and during postinterventional assessment are 3.8±1.38 respectively. In Control group, values of mean±SD during preinterventional assessment are 5.4 and 1.8 and during post-interventional assessment are 5.12±1.81 respectively. In a paired t-test, the experimental group showed significant decrease in level of stress and blood pressure at 0.05 level of significance after two days. According to value of chi square, blood pressure is significantly associated with demographic variable Education and Occupation at 0.05 level of significance.Keywords

In order to avoid illegitimate use of any intruder, intrusion detection over the network is one of the critical issues. An intruder may enter any network or system or server by intruding malicious packets into the system in order to steal, sniff, manipulate or corrupt any useful and secret information, this process is referred to as intrusion whereas when packets are transmitted by intruder over the network for any purpose of intrusion is referred to as attack. With the expanding networking technology, millions of servers communicate with each other and this expansion is always in progress every day. Due to this fact, more and more intruders get attention; and so to overcome this need of smart intrusion detection model is a primary requirement.
By analyzing the feature selection methods the identification of essential features of NSL-KDD data set is done, then by using selected features and machine learning approach and analyzing the basic features of networks over the data set a hybrid algorithm is made. Finally a model is produced over the algorithm containing the rules for the network features.
A hybrid misuse intrusion detection model is made to find attacks on system to improve the intrusion detection. Based on prior features, intrusions on the system can be detected without any previous learning. This model contains the advantage of feature selection and machine learning techniques with misuse detection.

The recent downward trends in solar tariff may be attributed to the factors like economies of scale, assured availability of land, and power evacuation systems under the Solar Park Scheme. The scheme aims to provide a huge impetus to solar energy generation by acting as a flagship demonstration facility to encourage project developers and investors, prompting additional projects of similar nature, triggering economies of scale for cost-reductions, technical improvements and achieving large scale reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It would enable States to bring in significant investment from project developers, meet its solar renewable purchase obligation (RPO) mandate and provide employment opportunities to local population. The State will also reduce its carbon footprint by avoiding emissions equivalent to the solar park’s installed capacity and generation. The solar park is a concentrated zone of development of solar power generation projects and provides developers an area that is well characterized, with proper infrastructure and access to amenities and where the risk of the projects can be minimized. Solar Park also facilitates developers by reducing the number of required approvals. The most important benefit from the solar park for the private developer is the significant time saved.Keywords

Software exertion estimation is an indispensable factor in any software industry. As software created in size and unusualness, it is to a great degree hard to decisively expect the cost of software progression. This was the trouble in past years. The best ensnarement of software industry was the speedy changing nature of software change which has made it difficult to make parametric models that yield high exactness for software improvement in all regions. This paper packs a couple of classes of software cost estimation models and systems. No single system is best for all conditions, and that an attentive relationship of the results of a couple of approaches is well while in transit to make functional assessments. The usage of workforce is measure as exertion and described as total time taken by headway partners to play out a given task. It is regularly imparted in units, for instance, man-day, man-month, and man-year. This regard is essential as it serves in as explanation behind evaluating diverse regards vital for software wanders, like cost or total time required to make a software thing. This paper reviews an analysis of changed estimation procedures and represents the models utilizing line of code(LOC) and function point as a gauge of framework measure.Keywords

Institutional investment has played a major role in determining the augmentation of the Indian stock market. This study has been undertaken to reexamine this role of the institutional investors in the current scenario. The present study aims at investigating the dynamic relationship of foreign institutional investors and domestic institutional investors with the Indian stock market return, in the presence of market fundamentals such as exchange rate and call money rate. The present study has tried to analyse the dynamic interaction of these specified variables with respect to the NSE stock market index, Nifty return, by considering a period of five years, from January 2015 to December 2020. The study has used monthly data set. To explore the dynamic relationship of the institutional investments with the NSE stock market index nifty return, augmented Dickey-Fuller test and vector auto regression model have been used. The study result showed that there does not exist any interlinkage among the different variables of the study, such as FII, DII, and stock market of India.Keywords
