Antibiotics are a family of medications used to treat against bacterial, fungal and parasitic infections. Numerous side effects are associated with antibiotic use and extremely high doses of antibiotics can have severe consequences. In present investigation, the approach was to study the effect of Amikacin sulphate on liver and kidney of albino rat. As this drug is reactive and the prolonged 9- days treatment to the albino rat created histopathological changes. It destroy the structure of hepatocytes, sinusoids, endothelial cells, Kuffer cells and bile canalicule in the hepatic cords. Where as in the kidney Bowman's capsule, glomerulus and their capillaries are degenerated. The cell wall of proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henley's, distal convoluted tubule and collecting tubule are diminished. These effects are dose dependant. Due to this histopathological changes in liver and kidney will not perform their normal physiological functions. The excessive drug may destroy the liver and kidney, affect the physiology and at last leading to death of animal.Keywords

The present study was carried out with the objectives to study the children'ss perception about their parents' parenting and factors influencing their perception in the year 2012-13. The sample comprised 206High School children in the age group of 12-15 years, studying in 7th and 8th standards in government High Schools from 3 villages of Dharwad taluk. Children's perception about parenting was assessed using Bharadwaj et al. (1998) scale. The results revealed that majority of the children had positive perception towards their parents' parenting. This indicated that parents tend to be accepting, protecting, indulgent, realistic, moralistic and disciplining their children. Further, socio-demographic factors such as age, ordinal position, family size, educational level of the father and socio-economic status of the family had significant influence on children's perception about parenting.Keywords

Pharmaceutical pollution doesn't seem to be harming humans yet, but disturbing clues from aquatic life suggest now is the time for preventive action. Generally water system are monitored for nearly 80 harmful substances and prohibited nastiest include bacteria, viruses, strong acids, pesticides, and some metals. Waste pharmaceuticals include a wide variety of items, including over-the-counter and prescription medications. The main way drug residues enter water systems is by people taking medicines and then naturally passing them through their bodies. These wastes come in the form of solid pills and capsules, creams, liquids and aerosols. Many pharmaceuticals intended for pets are similar or identical to those prescribed to humans and should be treated exactly the same metals. Sources of Pharmaceutical waste included health care institute, Agriculture, Flushing medications down to the toilets etc. These entities are affected by environment and by human beings. In human exposure to pharmaceutical and personal care product from environmental complex function of factors including concentration, types, pharmacokinetic of each drugs etc. Environmental effect on feminising effect on male fish and alter female-to mal ratio. When the pharmaceutical and personal care product (PPCPs) are active at very low concentrations and released continuously in large or widespread quantities Then Disposal of unused or unwanted pharmaceuticals is an emerging and complex environmental issue. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency is working with various stakeholders to find convenient and environmentally responsible ways for residents to manage waste pharmaceuticals. Dispose to pharmaceutical waste by do not flush your medicines down the toilet or down the drain. And dispose to potentially dangerous medications.Keywords

The article contains general information about tuberculosis. Generally TB is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. TB is classified into two types,
1] MDR-TB- Multi drug resistant
2] XDR-TB- Extended drug resistant
For the treatment of TB two types of drugs generally used
1] First line drugs
2] Second line drugs
The standard treatment is recommended by WHO [World Health Organization] i.e. DOT DOT is [DIRECTLY OBSERVED TREATMENT] it have several benefit but also it fails in India because of Some factors like incorrect prescription of drug, resistance to first line- second line drugs etc. To improve the failures of DOT new strategies are developed i.e. NTP and RNTCP programs.

Rice is a major food crop in the world. It is being consumed by more than half of the world population. Available data indicate that world output has witnessed some decline for the recent past. Production of milled rice in the world totaled 409.2 million tonnes in 1999 but declined to 384.4 million tonnes in 2002. In India, rice production and its export witnessed fluctuations as it declined during 2009-10, but however went high in 2011-12. However Indian Agricultural trade will in future operate in an external trade framework mainly due to the global openness in trade in agriculture. To avail the new trade opportunities, right decisions need to be made regarding which crop to grow more and which one to grow less or, which one to purchase more and which to purchse less. The most important to such decisions lies in finding out the export competitiveness of a crop in relation to the prevailing world market prices, therefore; this paper tries to assesed the export competitiveness of Indian rice. Results of the policy analysis matrix for the years under consideration (Table 1 to 4) depicts that social revenues were much higher than the private revenues. Implying that Rice grown in country is net taxed, the average nominal protection coefficient (NPC) was 0.48 thus indicating that Rice producers in country were disprotected and also the average effective protection coefficient (EPC) was found to be 0.44 indicating a high export competitiveness of the India Rice. However, the average domestic resource cost (DRC) was found to be less than one (0.37) this means that domestic resources were efficiently utilized in case of rice crop in the country and also indicated that they have comparative advantage in the production of rice crop. All the indicators (NPC, EPC and DRC) were less than unity thus a reflection that the domestic price of Rice in the country is lower than the world market price and hence competitive worldwide. It is therefore recommended that, in order to improve the competitiveness of Indian Rice in particular and Agriculture in general, attention needs to be given to domestic market thereby rationalizing subsidies on certain inputs and improvement of domestic market performance.

The present study was under taken in Akola, Amravati and Buldana district in Vidarbha region of Maharashtra state. From each selected district one tahsil has been selected purposively where soil is saline or sodic. The selected tahsils are Akola, Daryapur and Shegaon from Akola, Amravati and Buldana districts, respectively. From each tahsil four villages were selected randomly and from each selected village ten farmers were interviewed. Thus, the total 120 respondents were the sample for this study. The objectives of the study were, to study the personal, socio-economic, situational and psychological characteristics of the farmers and to study the knowledge of the respondents about the soil testing techniques and its recommendations in saline sodic track of Vidarbha. The exploratory research design was used for present study. The findings revealed that majority of the respondents were in middle age group, educated upto high school level possessed small land holding (1.01-2.00 ha), having agriculture as main occupation, annual income upto Rs. 50,000, farming experience in between 11 to 20 years, medium level of extension contact, they have followed crop rotation on their field, have to travel above 45 km distance from their village to reach soil testing laboratory, followed seasonal cropping pattern, medium level of motivation and low level of innovativeness. Majority of the respondents having medium knowledge level about soil testing techniques and its recommendations. As regards the relational analysis, age, land holding, occupation, farming experience, crop rotation, distance from soil testing lab and cropping pattern was non-significantly corelated with knowledge. Annual income, extension contact and motivation were significantly correlated with knowledge. Whereas, education and innovation was highly significant with knowledge.

The inevitable consequence of the widespread use of antimicrobial agents has been the emergence of antibioticresistant pathogens, fueling an ever-increasing need for new drugs. In an effort to develop antimicrobial agents, a series of chalcones were prepared by Claisen-Schmidt condensation of bromo and chloro acetophenone with appropriate aromatic aldehydes in the presence of aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide and ethanol at room temperature. The synthesized compounds were characterized by their physical constants, TLC, IR and NMR spectroscopy. Further all the synthesized compounds were successfully evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal activities by cup-plate method.

Improper agricultural practices, intensive farming with monoculture cropping pattern are responsible for deterioration of soil quality. To overcome the adverse effect of current cultivation practices, sustainable agricultural practices should be adopted. The evaluation of soil health status of Aurangabad district has been carried out with 240 surface soil samples from 12 villages of 3 blocks. The soil was analyzed for various soil fertility parameters such as pH, EC, organic matter and availability of NPK. The soils of Aurangabad district are moderately alkaline in nature with a mean value of pH 7.89. The soils are good soil with EC ranging from 0.2 to 1.70 dS/m with mean of 0.74 dS/m in Aurangabad district. The soils of Sillod block, 27.5 per cent, have to face seed emergence problem due to higher EC. The organic carbon content of soils of Aurangabad is low, mean value being 0.39 per cent. The half of the soil of Aurangabad district is having low organic carbon less than 0.40 per cent. The available nitrogen of soils of Aurangabad is low, with mean of 158.39 kg/ha. It is remarkably very low in Sillod and Aurangabad blocks. Part of Aurangabad, 52.08 per cent is very low in available phosphorus content, whereas 38.75 per cent soils have low available phosphorus content. They are very rich in potassium with a mean value of 443.60 kg/ha.There is dire need of improvement in soil organic carbon by using organic manures including intercropping, mixed cropping and adopting integrated nutrient management programme.Keywords

To study thze quality of irrigation water from Ahmedpur tehsil, the present investigation was carried out during the year 2010-2011. Total three hundred ground water samples were collected from 30 villages of Ahmedpur tehsil periodically in two season's i.e. summer season (May, 2010) and winter season (October, 2010). The ground water samples were analyzed for its composition and parameters like pH, EC, cations (Na+ and K+), anions (Cl-, SO4- and boron). Soil samples were also collected from the same places of Ahmedpur tehsil, with a view to studying the changes in chemical properties of soil viz., pH and EC. The water samples were alkaline in nature with dominance of sodium and sulphates. Majority of the well waters were higher in salinity class, indicating moderate suitability for irrigation. Among the cations Na+ was dominant in water followed by K+. The relative proportion of anions were in the sequence of SO4→Cl-. The boron concentration of irrigation water ranged from 0.90 (winter) to 1.07 (summer) ppm which was moderately safe (C2) for irrigation. Irrigating the soils with such water, average pH and EC of soils were changed accordingly in summer and winter season.Keywords

Sugarcane is a very useful industrial crop grown in India for its economic importance and various applications of products and byproduct to industry. It has a wide range of genetic diversity which provides a tremendous scope for genetic improvement of economic traits. An improvement in cane yield and quality characters in sugarcane crop is normally achieved by selecting the genotypes with desirable character combinations existing in nature or by hybridization. Hence, the information in a collection of some genotypes of sugarcane in order to formulate a sound breeding plan for its improvement has been reviewed here.Keywords

A field experiment was conducted at Main Agricultural Research Station (MARS), Raichur during 2012-14 to study resource recycling and management from different IFS models in NE Karnataka. Different combination of crops, animals, fishes and birds were examined in form of seven integrated farming systems (IFS) models. Among different IFS models crop+cow+goat+poultry birds+fish (F7) emerged as the best integrated farming system in terms of resource recycling, resource management and nutrient budgeting. The waste material/by products of crops and animals were recycled and used as inputs for other components of integrated farming system. The F7 system (19,122 and 20,623 kg ha-1 during 2012-13 and 2013-14, respectively) added highest amount of organic residues in both the years which is closely followed by F5 system (18,368 and 19,614 kg ha-1 during 2012-13 and 2013-14, respectively). Quantity of N, P and K added and nutrient budgeting varied between IFS models.Keywords

Investigations were carried out in Main Agricultural Research Station (MARS), Raichur district of Karnataka during 2012-14 to find out a sustainable mixed farming model which is economically viable by integrating the different components like crops, livestock, poultry, rabbits and fish on a 2.5 acre land holding. Seven integrated farming system models were developed to find out the best package on the land holding of 2.5 acre suitable for the North-East Karnataka region. Among various IFS models, F7 model registered highest net returns (Rs. 1,89,069 ha/year) and least observed in conventional cotton alone (F1) system (Rs. 74,592 ha/year). The similar trend was observed in return per day, diversity index and employment generation (Rs. 518/day, 2.92 and 206 mandays/ha/year).Keywords

This study characterizes existing farming systems adopted by small and marginal farmers in Raichur district of North-East Karnataka (16° 12' N latitude and 77° 20' E longitude at an altitude of 389 m above the mean sea level). A rapid rural appraisal was conducted via informal discussions with 125 randomly selected farmers (25 farmers each from Raichur, Manvi, Sindhnur, Lingusugur and Devdurga talukas of Raichur district) using a pre-tested, structured questionnaire. Farming was the main income-generating source for the majority of households in the area. This study distinguished farms based on various farm enterprises adopted in their respective farms viz., crop based, dairy based, small ruminants (goat/sheep) based, vegetable based, agro-forestry based, horticulture based etc. Paddy, cotton, maize, ground nut, vegetables, cattle, sheep/goat and poultry farming were the major farming activities that were undertaken by the farmers. Socio-economic status of most of farmers is determined by farming system adopted in their farm. Proper integration among crop-livestock farming activities could be suggested as a better solution to enhance long term sustainability as well as farmers’ living standards by improving farm production. Among 125 farmers selected for characterization 98.4 per cent of the farmers adopted crop based farming system.Keywords

Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the overall prevalence of classical swine fever (CSF) in pigs in India, through a systematic review and meta-analysis of published data.
Materials and Methods: Consortium for e-Resources in Agriculture, India, Google Scholar, PubMed, annual reports of All India Coordinated Research Project on Animal Disease Monitoring and Surveillance,and All India Animal Disease database of NIVEDI (NADRES) were used for searching and retrieval of CSF prevalence data (seroprevalence, virus antigen, and virus nucleic acid detection) in India using a search strategy combining keywords and related database-specific subject terms from January 2011 to December 2015 in English only.
Results: A total of 22 data reports containing 6,158 samples size from 18 states of India were used for the quantitative synthesis, and overall 37% (95% confidence interval [CI]=0.24, 0.51) CSF prevalence in India was estimated. The data were classified into 4 different geographical zones of the country: 20% (95% CI=0.05, 0.55), 31% (95% CI=0.18, 0.47), 55% (95% CI=0.32, 0.76), and 34% (95% CI=0.14, 0.62). CSF prevalence was estimated in northern, eastern, western, and southern regions, respectively.
Conclusion: This study indicates that overall prevalence of CSF in India is much lower than individual published reports.

In many wireless sensor networks due to the limited energy of sensor nodes energy conservation is one of the most important challenges. To enhance the lifetime of the network emphasis is given to design energy efficient routing algorithms. In WSN, sensor nodes which are nearer to the base station having a task of collecting data for the entire area and send to the base station. This node has an additional load and depletes its energy faster. This paper addresses the problem of lifetime maximization by load balancing. This paper proposes energy efficient load balanced data collection algorithm considering different network parameter (e.g., density, degree). In this method, Data collection tree topology is built at the sink node. Performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by considering various parameters like topology, availability of resources and the energy utilization of nodes in different paths of the tree, which may vary and ultimately impacts the overall network lifetime. Sensor nodes are switched from their original path to other based on the load and it reduces communication overhead.Keywords
