Iodine deficiency is amongst the most widely prevalent nutritional problems of Indian peninsula. India is one of the major iodine deficient countries in the world. Iodine deficiency is the most common cause of preventable mental retardation and brain damage. It causes goitre and decreases the production of hormones vital to growth and development. In India it is estimated that about 200 million people are at risk for iodine deficiency disorders. Iodized salt is undoubtedly the strategy for the country still iodine is not fully utilized by the people because of improper handling, usage and storage practices and the data regarding its losses in iodized salt during storage at household level are not available. Keeping the above facts in consideration, the present study was planned with the objective to determine the effect of storage place, duration, type of storage vessel on the iodine content of the salt.Keywords
Iodine, Iodized Salt, Iodine Deficiency Disorder (IDD), Iodine Loss, Storage Practices.

The use of catalysed exchange of deuterium (D) between hydrogen (H) gas and liquid water using the bithermal hydrogen water (BHW) process is a promising and environment-friendly approach for the production of heavy water. However, the use of this approach is limited by the lack of a suitable catalyst that has good activity at high operating pressures required for practical applications. We report the development of hydrophobic platinum-doped carbon aerogel (PtCA) catalyst which shows good catalytic activity for H/D isotope exchange reactions at operating pressures up to 20 bar.Keywords

The school plays an important role in enhancing educational competence as well promoting psycho-social development of children and adolescents. Today's children have to cope with heavy syllabi and stress of examinations, often manifesting psychosomatic complains, problems of sleep and appetite, behavior problems and declining performance, as signs of stress. Parents are facing their own problems, and when they face problems related to school performance and behavior of their children, they often approach teachers for help. This paper focuses on how school counseling can help students of various gender,age, etc. to resolve their problems of life with their own abilities, potentials etc. In modem education time school counseling is necessity for overall personality development of students.Keywords

To evaluate therapeutic efficacy of Achyranthes aspera against arsenic toxicity, mice were given aqueous ischolar_main and leaf extracts at both low and high doses (100 and 200 mg/kg body wt) after being intoxicated with sodium arsenate (0.1 mg/kg body wt). Significant alterations (P < 0.05, 0.001) were seen in various haematological parameters, Ig level, macrophage yield, viability, phagocytic index and progesterone level. Results clearly depict that both A. aspera extracts significantly restore the unbalanced level up to the normal. This study shows the protective efficacy of A. aspera on altered haematological and immunological system. It is possible that future work on drug formulation may use this plant as a source.Keywords

In public key infrastructure, each node has a public private key pair. Public key is used for encryption of message while private key is applied on that message to generate original data. When sender used own public key for encryption of message then he attach private key with that message and send to the receiver. There is the problem of security, how to securely move private key over the network. In this paper, we have developed refreshment protocol for providing security to the private key (private key is known as share). Refreshment protocol allows refreshing shares using different cryptography algorithm such as DES, AES and Blowfish within each node to refresh all sub share which is distributed by threshold cryptography.

This research was aimed at assessing the effectiveness of marketing services. The study was conducted in Faridabad from Haryana, Hapur from Uttar Pradesh and North-West Delhi from Delhi selected purposively to explore the marketing extension system as they adequately represent the periurban agriculture. 90 farmers, 30 rice, wheat and tomato grower farmers from each district were selected to constitute the total sample size. Interview schedule were used in eliciting information from the farmers. Effectiveness were analysed using indicators specifically marketable surplus, producer share in consumer prices, middlemen share in consumer prices, marketing cost, marketing margin, price spread and marketing efficiency using Shepherd’s equation. The study found that marketing cost is high when more intermediaries are involved in marketing of produce. Producer’s share in consumer’s price is high when produce is directly sold to consumer by producer. Marketing efficiency of cereals is high than vegetable crop because of heavy transport and post harvest losses occur in vegetables.

Indigofera tinctoria is a well-known medicinal plant that possesses several therapeutic activities. Isothiocyanate derivative from hydroethanolic extract of Indigoferatinctoria (HEIT) was isolated by means of chromatographic techniques, i.e. adsorption chromatography,thin layer chromatography and high-pressure liquid chromatography. Structural characterization of isolated compound was done using various spectroscopic techniques (liquid chromatograph–mass spectrometry,1H nuclear magnetic resonance and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy) and the possible structure was identified as 1-[1,2-Diisothiocyanato-2-(3-isothiocyanato-2,2-dimethyl-propylsulphanyl)-ethoxy]-3-isothiocyanato-2,2-dimethyl-propane (C16H22N4OS5;m/z 446.70; ITC-1). Maximum yield of ITC-1 was obtained as 22 mg/5 g HEIT with 97% purity.Keywords

Concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) cells have always shown higher efficiencies (∼37%) compared to single junction high efficiency Maxeon cells(23%), HIT cells(22%) and the thin film CdTe (13%) cells/modules. However, outdoor field performance of these technologies does not reflect the similar performance, as shown under standard conditions. The techno-economic considerations for a specific site it is important to evaluate a technology as per field performance indicators such as annual yields (Yi) and Performance Ratio(PR). In this paper the performance of a multi junction solar cells based on III-V compound-materials (GaInP/GaInAs/Ge) concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) system with very high concentration ratio of 500X has been evaluated. The outdoor performance of CPV has been compared with the other high efficiency flat plate solar photovoltaic technologies under similar condition and same period of time. A radiation analysis on Direct Normal Incidence (DNI) has been also carried out throughout the year of 2011 for the test site to find out the suitability of CPV. It has been found that the CPV system showed lowest PR compared to the technologies.Keywords

Ever since beginning of Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) in India, a boom is observed in the Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) applications. Usages of SPV water pumping systems for drinking water and irrigation purpose has increased. National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE) has established test facilities for evaluation of solar water pumping systems, and also studied various different SPV based water pumps of different capacities, types, and applications. It has been observed that the most of the pumps underperform due to poor design of the system, low efficiency of components and mismatch among components. It is observed that these pumps could have performed more efficiently if technical barrier discussed above are solved. This paper describes the major aspects needed to be incorporated in designing of SPV pumping systems. A specific case of assessment of two submersible pumps of same capacity and same type but with different array capacities has been presented. From experiment it found out that to maximise the water output of a solar water pumping system at a particular site, the incident radiation profile of that particular site should be studied& analysed and PV array capacity should be fixed according to a particular range of irradiance radiation where maximum annual irradiation has fallen.Keywords

In India where Iron Deficiency anemia is a most common health problem, there is a need to know about the iron rich food supplements. These supplements should be including in our daily diet. Niger seed (Guizotia abyssinica) is a type of oilseed crop which is reported to be containing very high amount of iron in plant based foods and may be of immense help in improving the iron status of vulnerable population group. In the present study, an iron rich food supplement i.e. niger seed Laddoo has been prepared and its nutrient analysis was done by standard procedure. This study showed that the supplement made with two parts of niger seeds and one part of jaggery i.e. 2:1 ratio was found to be more acceptable. The highly accepted variation was analyzed for its biochemical composition. It contained 20.71 g protein, 34 g of fat, 7.83 g crude fibre, 213 mg calcium, 42.61 mg iron, 4.7 g ash per 100 g of Laddoo. It was concluded in the present study that niger seed Laddoos had a large amount of nutrients among other plant foods. Due to its easy availability and convenient method to prepare the Laddoo, it can be used for preventing anaemia and malnutrition.Keywords

The concept of mid day meal has long history in India. In 1925, a mid day meal programme was introduced for children belonging to poor socio-economic status in Madras corporation area. It has been reported that mid day meal has catered to the nutritional needs of school children in both urban and rural areas. The present study was, therefore, an attempt to evaluate the nutritional contribution of mid day meal to the actual daily nutrient intake of primary school children. To attain the objective of the study, two hundred school children in the age group 6-12 years were selected from urban and rural areas using purposive random sampling. Hundred primary school children were selected from both the areas. Results of the survey conducted in 6 primary schools of Kanpur revealed that cyclic menu for six days was being followed by the schools undertaken in the study. It was found that Tahari and milk was the most liked (59%) meal, followed by Dal chawal (45%), Dal roti (35%), Roti sabji (31%) and least preferred meal was Sabji chawal (30%). The energy content of six days menu varied from 350-442 Kcal which is below the recommended norms of 450 Kcal.Keywords

We have learnt time and again that food supply shocks have resulted in food price spikes, instability, violence and even regime collapse. When the supply chain at the primary producers (farmers) level is functioning well, the success will ripple down the whole chain. In this review, we present our approach for the development of an extension model for the promotion of precision conservation agricultural practices (PCAPs) uptake among rice–wheat smallholder farming households, considering the demand as well as the prospect for developing and up-scaling rice–wheat production system in Africa. PCAPs are technologies and practices that are capable of helping farmers to apply right resources at the right place and, at the right time, using the right method. The combination of these technologies and practices can help in achieving optimum resource stewardship and resource conservation in the farmers’ field. However, extension strategies and supports are needed to facilitate the adoption of these best practices at the farmers’ level.Keywords

Whey is obtained from milk as a byproduct in the manufacturing of paneer and cheese. The whey contained 6.90% total solids. The protein, fat, ash and carbohydrate/lactose content of whey were 0.87, 0.36, 0.43 and 4.91%, respectively. Low value dairy products such as whey, pose a huge opportunity to be converted into value-added products. The development of nutritionally and highly acceptable balanced protein foods to feed the growing population in under developed countries is receiving increasing attention of the food scientists and nutritionists. This study was planned to evaluate the sensory characteristics of whey enriched cookies prepared from blends of whey and water in the ratio of 25:75, 50:50, 75:25 and 100:0, respectively and subjected to baking temperatures of 175 °C. However the cookies developed after the whey incorporation were equally accepted in following attributes i.e. taste and flavor, body and texture, colour and appearance and overall acceptability as the control samples. Browning of cookies was enhanced with the increased amount of whey due to the Maillard reaction between the additional protein and lactose. Crispiness also increases as whey incorporation increased. The ranking of the product ranged between liked slightly to liked very much.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the ameliorative potential of quercetin (QC) against paracetamol (PCM)- induced oxidative stress and biochemical alterations in mice blood. A total of 36 mice were randomly allocated into six groups, six mice in each. Group I served as healthy controls, while groups II and III were administered with N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and QC alone respectively. Group IV was administered with PCM alone. Groups V and VI were administered with PCM on day 0 followed by NAC and QC, respectively, for 6 consecutive days. On day 7th blood samples were obtained and subjected for the assays of oxidative stress and serum biochemical panels. Erythrocytic lipid peroxides contents of alone PCM-intoxicated mice were significantly higher, while reduced glutathione contents were found to be significantly lower in comparison with the healthy controls. The activities of antioxidant enzymes were also found to be singnificantly lower in these mice. Additionally, significantly increased activities of serum aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase and alkaline phosphatase, as well as levels of bilirubin, urea and creatinine were revealed by these mice. Postadministration with QC remarkably alleviated the over production of MDA and improved GSH levels in PCM-intoxicated mice blood. In addition, antioxidant enzymes; glutathione peroxidase, glutathione-S-transferase, superoxide dismutase and catalase activities were also improved significantly in these mice. QC had also considerably ameliorated the altered biochemical parameters toward normalcy. Thus, it can be concluded that QC may constitute a remedy against PCM-induced oxidative stress and reno-hepatic injuries.Keywords

In this decade, there is a major change to doctor's place, as it includes running in private practices, government work, implementation of government policies, burden of paper work and regulation, electronic health record and changing credentialing demands. In spite of all this there are two major demands that they have to update their knowledge according to the recent researches and another is to come up with the patient's needs and demands. Nowadays patient's relatives and attendants expect that as they are paying for the services of the doctor, it is moral responsibility of the doctor to save the patient's life. So doctors are in persistent stress about the professional integrity and facing common problem which is known as burnout. Burnout is a state of emotional, mental and physical exhaustion and diminished interest. It is caused by excessive and prolonged stress when one feels overwhelmed and unable to meet constant demands. Thus it leads to the disturbed family life, professional life and social life etc. Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize and understand emotions of our self and others and to use this awareness to manage our behavior and relationships. This is very essential for doctors as they are more resilient to the stresses of the profession and less likely to experience burnout. This paper aims to find out the burnout and emotional intelligence among medical professional of different branches. Sample includes 10 doctors each from ten different branches included by incidental purposive sampling that is a total of 100 samples of medical practitioners of Government hospital.Keywords

Isothiocyanate derivative from hydroethanolic extract of Indigofera tinctoria (HEIT) was previously isolated, purified and characterized as 1-[1,2-Diisothiocyanato-2-(3-isothiocyanato-2,2-dimethyl-propylsulfanyl)-ethoxy]-3-isothiocyanato-2,2-dimethyl-propane (C16H22N4OS5; m/z 446.70; ITC-1). To elucidate hepatoprotective efficacy, liver toxicity was induced in mice via intoxication of N-Nitrosopyrrolidine (NPYR) followed by CCl4 for 50 days. Both low and high doses of crude HEIT were given orally to NPYR treated mice for 21 days. Silymarin was also administered to compare the results. After completion of post treatment, various hepatic toxicity markers were evaluated. Results showed that both doses of HEIT and ITC-1 have successfully normalized the levels of AST, ALT (P<0.001 v/s NPYR treated group), ALP and bilirubin (P<0.01). ITC-1 has showed better remedial response against liver toxicity in comparison to Silymarin. Thus, we concluded that both I. tinctoria and ‘ITC-1’ have future remedial aspect in diminution of hepatic toxicity.Keywords

Uttar Pradesh is the largest state of India in population and fourth largest state in terms of area. On the basis of its large size, diverse geography, climate and topography, the state has been divided into 4 regions, namely Western, Central, Eastern and Bundelkhand. Present study was conducted with an objective to assess physical growth and nutritional status of school going children age 6-14 years, residing in western and eastern Uttar Pradesh (UP), India. Survey was conducted at Bulandshahr district in western region and Chandauli district in eastern UP. The multistage stratified random sampling was used for identification of schools. Data was collected from 38 schools (Western Uttar Pradesh 20 schools and Eastern Uttar Pradesh 18 schools). Selected children in Western Uttar Pradesh (WUP) were 413 (Male 186 and Female 227) and in Eastern Uttar Pradesh (EUP) total children were 340 (Male 167 and Female 173). The clinical signs and symptoms examination was carried out for prevalence of macro and micro nutrients deficiencies. Anthropometric measurements i.e. body weight, height and mid upper arm circumference were measured. Body Mass Index (BMI) was calculated as weight/ height2 to assess chronic energy deficiency. Physical growth of children was assessed by height for age (stunting) and BMI for age (under and over weight) by using z score suggested by WHO. Physical growth of the children was compared with WHO growth standards. Present study revealed that the overall mean height of children from both the regions were lower than the WHO standards however, height and weight measurements exhibit uniform increase with age in both the sexes. Prevalence of sever stunting was higher among boys and girls of WUP in comparison with EUP. The clinical signs and symptoms of protein deficiency were noticed tripe among girls than boys in both WUP and EUP. This indicates that overall girls were not receiving adequate protein in the diet. However symptoms of vitamin A and B complex deficiency were higher in boys of both the regions.Keywords

Augmenting agricultural productivity is the goal of the National Food Security Mission (NFSM), Government of India. The aim of the present study was to analyse the socio-economic changes brought about by NFSM in 2022 in Uttar Pradesh (UP) and Karnataka. For this, 160 beneficiary farmers and 80 non-beneficiary farmers from both states were part of personal interviews and focused group discussions. The socio-economic transformation was higher for beneficiary farmers in terms of annual income, occupational status, crop diversification, earning members, material possession, agricultural productivity and access to the programme than for non-beneficiary farmers of both states. Comparative analyses of the transformation of beneficiary farmers in Karnataka and UP revealed significant changes in the socio-economic indicators, except earning members, education, social participation and agricultural productivity. The changes brought about by this Mission, before and after its launch, revealed a significantly higher socio-economic impact on the beneficiary farmersKeywords
