Abstract

Modern man habituated to use products of plastic leaving the traditional method of life styles. Every city is generating thousands of metric tons of waste per day, which is polluting air, water and soil of the respective areas disturbing the life of the human beings. The solid waste from the panchayat, municipality and corporation were collected covering the slums, commercial and other residential areas including apartments. The solid waste collected from these areas segregated and individual weight of the components was calculated. Our study aimed at the collection, segregation and preparation of quality organic compost including the study of recycling options available for the non degradable waste.

Abstract

JFM works were taken up in the North Coastal Reserve forest (RF) of Andhra Pradesh for the regeneration of degraded forests. Soil samples were collected and analyzed from ten treatment practices number one and three treatment practices number seven areas. Pothavaram RF, Burna RF areas having fertile soils with high IVI value. Darakonda RF, Mallavaram RF areas having low micro and high macro elements concentration and having good number of diversity in one area and dominance in other area. Murari RF, Korra RF areas having slightly acidic soil nature and macro elements are in medium concentration and micro elements are in high concentration showing very poor growth of species. Baliagam RF, Maribanda RF areas having medium fertile soil conditions, but with less diversity. Shikargangii RF is having low microelements concentration and medium macro elements concentration with poor growth of species. The bamboo forest areas Tarlakota, Lammasanghi and Divanchervu RF areas having good fertile soils having good number of grown clumps. The study helps to improve the degraded forest areas by selecting the species suitable to the soil conditions and also helps to improve the soil characteristics by planting different species to improve the particular macro or micro element. The study also helped to identify the impact of the JFM works and also to identify the endemic and endangered species.

Abstract

This paper seeks to refocus the attention of environmentalists on the importance of population trends to environmental sustainability. It examines the determinants of family planning service, use and the barriers in accessing family planning services among urban and rural respondents. Data were collected from a household survey of 250 married men and women. The results indicate that the present generations which are educated practice well planned family planning among other respondents. The most striking result observed was there is a decrease in number of off springs from the past three generations. The key factors that are affecting the family planning in rural areas were identified as lack of awareness, lack of facilities, belief of family, orthodox nature of elders in family etc. As a fact it is understood that it is the women who want to control the number of children they have but are unfortunately not allowed due to the above reasons.

Abstract

Women's health is increasingly recognized as an area that has emerged because of an increase in women's demand for unique health care services that consider gender, life circumstances, education, and religion, economic and socio-cultural environments. The three major constructs related to comprehensive women's health outcomes include personal factors, the health system factors, and social, economic and cultural factors. The present work is a cross-sectional study designed to examine the perceived and actual health status and health practices of women aged 18 to 64 years during the period December to March 2012. The health status survey a structured questionnaire was used. The results indicate that the perceived health condition by the women is good as a fact that in spite of many health effects they were not in medication and doesn't visit a doctor.

Abstract

Present situations, the most critical attacks are those that combine Cross site scripting techniques to access systems and Hypertext Transfer protocol parameter pollution techniques to access the information by polluting the HTTP parameters. The potential damage associated with this kind of threats, the total absence of background and the fact that the solution to mitigate these vulnerabilities must be worked together with programmers, systems administrators and database vendors justifies an in-depth analysis to estimate all the possible ways of implementing this technique. It is a quite simple but effective hacking technique. HPP attacks can be defined as the feasibility to override or add HTTP GET/POST parameters by injecting query string delimiters. It affects a building block of all web technologies. We have to investigate business logic flaws triggered by HPP. As we know, it is tricky and time consuming since manual testing is required. In this paper we are proposing a novel approach to prevent http parameter pollution using reverse proxy. This approach provides a mechanism of records HTML response in order to test the application behavior as well as unexpected exploits. And also this approach also prevents other vulnerabilities.

Abstract

A population-based cross-sectional study was carried out in coastal zone of Visakhapatnam among 170 workers in 41 randomly selected Xerox (photostat) shops. The aim was to evaluate the relations between work with Xerox equipment and the occurrence of eye, nasopharyngeal, skin and general symptoms (often denoted as sick building syndrome (SBS), chronic respiratory symptoms, and respiratory infections. Work with self-copying paper was significantly related to weekly work-related eye, nasopharyngeal and skin symptoms, headache and lethargy, as well as to the occurrence of wheezing, cough, mucus production, sinusitis, and acute bronchitis. Xeroxing was related to nasal irritation, and video display terminal work to eye symptoms, headache, and lethargy.
