 Abstract

The present investigation deals with pond water quality of Darwa village of Isuapur block at saran District. The pond water parameters such as temperature, pH, turbidity, electrical conductivity, alkalinity, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, phosphate, sulphate, c, iron, chloride and fluoride were estimated in the samples to evaluate their quality. The data of physico- chemical parameters are compared with WHO (1992) and IS: 10500 standards for drinking water. Our result revealed that concentration of DO, BOD, Total hardness, Calcium, magnesium, sulphate, turbidity, alkalinity, phosphate, iron and chloride are within permissible limits and Iron, phosphate are negligible in this pond . The concentration of from 20 mg/l to 60 mg/L which is higher the permissible limit of WHO health based guide line values. The concentrations of nitrate above 40mg/L cause Blue diseases in infants (Sharma, 1997). The higher concentration of nitrate needs proper treatment before the use for drinking purposes and irrigation purposes. Finally it can be suggested that an intensive study may be carried out before the domestic consumption.

BACKGROUND: Neonatal sepsis is the leading cause of newborn mortality and morbidity worldwide. To combat the problem it should be diagnosed promptly and treated adequately. OBJECTIVES: to look for the correlation of C reactive protein and leucopenia in blood culture proven sepsis cases and culture negative suspected sepsis babies METHOD: The study was conducted in one of the busiest hospitals of Jorhat, Assam. It is a hospital based case-control observational study. Cases were neonates with bacterial blood culture positive and controls were gestational age matched babies with suspected sepsis having negative blood culture. CRP, total count reports were studied. Data was analysed statistically using SPSS.16 RESULTS: Total 602 blood cultures were sent during the study period out of which 46(7.6%) were bacterial culture positive[ 29 ( 63%) were males and 17 (37%) were females]. Early Onset sepsis were 27(59%) and 19 (41%) were Late onset sepsis were 19 (41%). CRP(p=0.005) and leucopenia(p=0.036) had significant correlation with culture positive sepsis. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of CRP was 74%, 54% , 61% and 68% respectively and that of leucopenia was 9%,100% , 100% and 53% respectively. Mean CRP was 11.28 mg/dl and mean white-cell count was 12,175/mm� in culture positive sepsis. CONCLUSION: CRP and leucopenia has significant correlation with culture positive sepsis. Leucopenia was associated with less number of culture positive cases but its specificity and positive predictive value were very high. Leucopenia was associated more with early onset sepsis. These diagnostic markers can be used in early diagnosis of neonatal sepsis and can help in deciding the use of antibiotics in suspected cases and in high risk cases. However, clinical diagnosis of sepsis is also very important and should always be considered in deciding the management of neonatal sepsis.

This study aims to bring about the pernicious outcomes of Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), 2019. It intends to dispense the facts and statements on different significant aspects like economy, employment, foreign relations and international trade. It compares the economic condition of the country preceding and following the introduction of the law. This study is an attempt to explore the relationship between religious intolerance and the overall development of the country. Using the existing established links from different studies conducted by researchers, economists and financial analysts, between the economy of a country and such laws based on religious grounds, it tries to analyze and analogize its outcomes concerning India. It explains how CAA can take India on an expedition to its past in terms of financial stability. This research proposes to state the social conflict and the obstacles that the country is experiencing as a consequence of the newly established law.

 Abstract

Let N be a near ring. An additive mapping d : N ?? N is said to be a derivation on N if d(xy) = xd(y) + d(x)y for all x,y ? N or equivalently d(xy) = d(x)y + xd(y) for all x,y ? N. The purpose of the present paper is to prove some theorems in the setting of a semigroup ideal of a 3-prime near ring admitting a derivation, thereby extending some identities on derivations.

 Abstract

The scattered islands of the Indian Ocean are small Malagasy islands located off Madagascar administered by France for over a century, they are now integrated within the French Southern and Antarctic Territories. There are five of them: Europa Island, Bassas-da-India Island, Juan-de-Nova Island, the Glorious Islands, made up of Grande Glorieuse Island and Lys Island, and finally Tromelin Island, the only one located outside the Mozambique Channel and they are called "ocean sanctuaries of primitive nature", with a remarkable terrestrial and marine biological heritage. A bundle of evidence shows that the islets claimed by the successive governments of Madagascar from 1972 were Malagasy state territories and more precisely dependencies of the Sovereign Kingdom of Madagascar until its annexation by France, August 6 1896. Sovereignty over the Scattered Islands has poisoned Franco-Malagasy relations since the independence of Madagascar on June 26, 1960, the date when France granted it independence. With independence, French sovereignty was challenged by Madagascar, Mauritius and the Comoros. These claims, which have been attenuated for a number of years, have been gaining momentum recently, presumably for economic reasons. The Exclusive Economic Zones (ZEE) granted by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), in fact give hope for significant hydrocarbon resources in the Mozambique Channel.

 Abstract

Kerala model of healthcare rests on a decentralised public health system built over decades and a strong welfare state has had previous experience of dealing with the 2018�s Nipah outbreak, which equipped the state to develop a robust response to Covid-19. Kerala�s success, in large part, can be credited to the ASHAs� meticulous pre-Covid-19 data collection of every household, their intricate database of every person who moved out of Kerala for work and their health indicators. This enabled the state to develop a rapid �trace-test-isolate-support� strategy. ASHAs, who are recognised as being central in its resistance against the disease.

 Abstract

INTRODUCTION The current pandemic scenario has put up an immeasurable burden on health care services. As we are approaching the epidemiological peak, with no signs of any vaccine or an antiviral treatment in the market for the prevention or management of COVID-19, it becomes imperative to have an efficient workforce to prevent the disruption of the health care system. In this hour of need, the role of medical students in the clinical environment needs to be reassessed. Medical students have been kept out of the picture fearing the risks involved to them. But recognizing the possibility that COVID-19 can result in health care worker shortage, the students need to be embedded in the clinical environment. Though medical students are not directly involved in managing COVID-19 patients, they can serve as information providers like volunteering in information cells, creating patient education materials, spreading awareness etc. Based on this backdrop, the overarching purpose of this study is to analyze the awareness of medical students regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. AIM & OBJECTIVES 1. To assess the knowledge and awareness of medical students regarding the latest guidelines on COVID-19. MATERIALS & METHODS A web-based cross-sectional survey was conducted using �Google Form� to obtain responses from undergraduate medical students. The study was carried out following the Checklist for Reporting Results of Internet E-Surveys (CHERRIES) guidelines. Informed consent was obtained and they were requested to provide authentic answers. A survey comprising 13 close-ended questions (in the English language) were formulated using reference materials on COVID-19 developed by WHO, CDC and ICMR. It covered general awareness and the latest guidelines on COVID-19. The questionnaire was validated by the faculty for clarity and acceptability. The final survey link was distributed among the students through various media platforms. All the collected data were entered into Microsoft Excel and descriptive statistics was performed using SPSS software version 21. RESULTS On evaluating the results from the sample size of 206, the Mean score was 10.4 with a median range of score 10. The scores were classified as excellent (?95%), good (80-95%), fair (60-80%) and poor (<60%). The overall knowledge of students was excellent (16.6%), good (62.2%) and fair (21%). On further analyzing the year wise results, no statistically significant difference was noted. Even first-year students had good awareness (64.8%) regarding the guidelines. DISCUSSION & CONCLUSION Majority of medical students have a good level of awareness regarding the COVID-19. This is a very reassuring finding that shows they are keen on following the updates and guidelines. With adequate training, they can be considered as part of the team involved in the fight against COVID-19. Including them would also reinforce the students the important values of altruism and service in times of need. For spreading awareness and dispelling myths related to COVID-19 pandemic, medical students can be involved and this would also decrease the burden on our health care system.
