Kashmir valley has been witnessing an increase in allergy disorders due to aeroallergens present in the environment. Aero allergy from Populus deltoids specifically seed menace is the new addition in the list of aeroallergens in valley. The female species of the plant has left the valley sneezing and coughing ever since it started shedding seeds in the months of April and May every year. There is a sudden spurt in lung and throat illnesses, and cold and fever, during these days. The seeds are also allergic to eyes and many schools in Srinagar, capital city of Jammu and Kashmir state, have even prescribed masks to the students. The white fluffy substance - a product of poplar, cover the roads during April/May each year and is often mistaken for sleet or cotton, but go closer and it could trigger instant sneezing, a running nose and throat irritation due to allergens presence. Detail clinical studies are required to test seed menace of poplar on atopic population in the valley. The strategies and precautions to reduce this seed menace are discussed in this article.Keywords

Realizing the importance of carbon monitoring and reporting in climate change, it becomes imperative to assess the contribution of less significant but equally important forest carbon sub-pool of shrubs and herbs in mitigating the atmospheric carbon. The present study was conducted to calculate the strata wise biomass carbon of undergrowth (herbs and shrubs) in the coniferous forests of Western Himalayan region. Quadrates of 0.1 ha were laid in six forest types and within these plots, shrub plots (5m X 5m) were laid at the opposite corners. Herb plots (herbs including freshly fallen litter) (1m X 1m) m were laid inside the shrub plots at the opposite corners for undergrowth measurements. Shrub and herb measurements were taken by total harvest method and sub-samples weighing 200 g packed tight were transferred to the laboratory and oven dried at 65 ± 5 °C to a constant weight. The estimated biomass from these plots was extrapolated to one ha. The total herb biomass hence calculated was converted into carbon equivalent using a factor of 0.50. The entire results were subjected to statistical tools using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results revealed that shrub biomass carbon was found to be highest under Deodar (closed) strata 0.65 t ha-1 ( ±σ 0.48) and minimum under Deodar (open) 0.17 t ha-1 ( ± σ 0.20) with p<0.05. For herb biomass carbon the highest values were observed under Fir-Spruce (closed) 1.32 t ha-1 ( ± σ 0.46) and minimum under Blue Pine (open) 0.59 t ha ( ± σ 0.49) with p<0.05. The open forests were subjected to a high biotic interference as a result of uncontrolled grazing, fuel wood and fodder collection that led to the lower values for undergrowth biomass carbon. However these strata were found to have a promising potential to fix atmospheric carbon into herbs and shrubs once the conservative interventions are brought into practice.Keywords

Problem statement: Home based care of neurosurgery patients is a difficult task for caregivers in the family. These patients remain bed ridden for quite a long time even after operation. They may develop many complications. Caregivers face a lot of problem in looking after such patients. The majority of these problems can be minimized if caregivers are properly trained.
Purpose of study: To ascertain the problems faced by family caregivers in home care of discharged postoperative neurosurgery patients. To ascertain the quality of home care of discharged postoperative neurosurgery patients. To explore the opinion of family caregivers about their role in home based care.
Methods: This cross sectional interview based descriptive study was done in 2010 in Chandigarh. These patients were visited at their home. Modified caregiver strain index was used to assess stress on the caregivers. Quality of home care was assessed by a15 item questionnaire. Verbatim responses were recorded for the purpose of qualitative research. Results and Finding: Overall 58 patients and their caregivers were interviewed at home. Mean age of the patients was 38.9 years and, of caregivers was 39.1 years. Caregiver and patients were either related by blood (43.9%) or were spouses (45.6%). Condition of 74.1% patients improved after operation. A high strain was noticed in majority of the caregivers (63.2%). Quality of care at home as found to be good in half of the patients whereas average to poor in other half. Depression was reported in 31% of patients. Many (36.2%) patients and some (8.7%) of caregivers had to quit their job due to the disease. Conclusion and Recommendations: Caregivers of neurosurgical patients faced significant stress. Quality of life and quality of care of many patients was poor. There is a need of training of caregivers. A cadre of professional caregiver needs to be built.

In the wake of the current COVID-19 a restraint was put on the supply of non-essential items. At the same time, provision of essential food items, health supplements, nutraceuticals, food for special dietary and special medical purpose, infant/baby food, animal feed/pet food needs to be ensured. Apart from these items, food delivery services, e-commerce, cold storage and warehousing of food products, fuel such as coal, rice husk, diesel/furnace oil and all raw materials, intermediaries, packaging materials needed to support the above list of products are required to be included in the essential list to ensure uninterrupted functioning of food supply chain. This article describes methods to ensure food safety along with prevention of COVID-19 infection while ensuring food security for all.Keywords

Micro-services architecture has changed the paradigm of software designing and software development behaviour as they are lightweight, easy adoptable, faster to be built and deploy at business servers. The nature of today’s market changes so abruptly that the software industry faces problems or impediments to hit the market demand due to complex, large, monolith clumsy applications which are complex to be broken easily and eventually fails to hit time-to-market approach. In this work, a novel migration approach has been proposed to improve the business deliveries and cover time-to-market approach by using advanced Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery process and sophisticated Devops and cloud tools like Jenkins, Git and Amazon cloud which has micro-services deployed in the containerization form. Finally, a model and a robust system has been investigated and proposed in terms of decomposition, testing, security, performance, inter service communication, persistence, transaction management aspects. The whole analysis revolved around to propose a novel approach to how to reduce the build and deployment time and make the end business product available to end customer in a faster and rapid way.Keywords
