Objective: To Study The Incidence Of CVS In Computer Users And To Evaluate The Efficacy Of Tear Substitutes&Role Of Ergonomics In The Management Of CVS.
Materials and Method: 100 subjects in age group 10-60 yrs., who have been using computer for minimum of 2hrs/day for at least 5-6 days/week, were chosen. Each subject underwent for Visual Acuity examination, Slit Lamp Examination, CVS Scoring&following tests. (1) Schirmer Test (2) Tear Film Break up Time (Tbut)
Results: Out of 76 subjects having CVS score >6, 52 used the computer for 4 - 8 hrs.&4 used for <4hrs. Thus, more is the exposure time more is the chances of CVS.
Conclusion: There was more improvement after 4 weeks and 8 weeks in the group taking lubricants and ergonomics into consideration than lubricants alone.

This communication presents results of a preliminary study to understand and assess the colour changes in Lonar lake, Buldhana district, Maharashtra, India, using remote sensing data of recent years (2019 and 2020). In addition, the study has utilized IMD gridded weather data and spectral profiles of algal pigments from the published literature. In order to verify whether the colour change is a cyclic event, long-term satellite data of Landsat 8-OLI and Sentinel 2-MSI sensors from 2014 onwards were analysed using spectral response in red and green bands. It was observed that even though a cyclic pattern exists, the colour change events occurred only during the 2019 and 2020 periods. The present analysis showed a change in colour of the lake from green to brown twice during April–June 2019. However, in 2020, there was a change in colour of the lake from green to brown and eventually to pinkish-red, which was not observed earlier. Rainfall and temperature were used to identify possible causes of abiotic stress on algae population of the lake. The study observed light rainfall and reduction in temperature just prior to the colour change event during both the years. In the absence of field data, the published literature on absorption spectra of different algal pigments was reviewed to identify pigments causing brown- and red-coloured appearance of the lake. Though cause of stress on the algae population is not known and is to be precisely identified by field surveys, the change in colour of Lonar lake appears to be caused by pigment(s), like phycoerythrin and carotenoids. However, this needs to be verified in the ground through water quality analysis.Keywords

Shifting cultivation (SC) is a system of agriculture widespread in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. In India, it is rampant in the East and North East states. SC has been overwhelmingly portrayed as a threat to ecosystems and climate, ignoring the ecological value of the fallow phase and secondary forests. Finding ways to manage the practice of SC without affecting agricultural productivity is essential for climate change mitigation, biodiversity conservation and the welfare of indigenous communities. This study analyses recent research on the impacts of SC with regard to ecosystem effects at different stages of the process.Keywords

Kalanamak is an important aromatic rice variety in India. Tall stature of Kalanamak causes lodging due to which its yield and other characters severely declines. Introgression of the semi-dwarfing gene (sd1) from CSR10 was performed with the help of markerassisted breeding. Backcross-derived plants were characterized for semi-dwarf nature. Improved Kalanamak lines were analysed for the sd1 gene and to check the presence of aroma, sensory analysis test and amplification with betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (badh 2) derived primer was performed. Improved versions of Kalanamak rice lines were either on par or superior in terms of yield, grain type and cooking quality with reduced height implicating the potentiality of marker-assisted backcross breeding for improvement of this rice variety.Keywords
