 Abstract

This paper outlines the design and practical implementation of a simple dynamic dual-axis solar tracker (DAST) that uses fewer segments and is less expensive to track the sun's evolution. A dual-axis device is designed to tilt the PV board using a servo motor and rotates with a mechanical motor in response to the strongest daylight detected by light-dependent resistor sensors fixed along the frame's four edges. To determine its effectiveness, the DAST model was essentially developed and tested using a real-time virtual instrument that was dependent on Dominate. Additionally, a correlation based on trial results between the energy produced by the clever DAST and a fixed board reveals that the former generates 36.26% more energy than the latter. It is easy to implement the suggested dynamic DAST without having extensive knowledge of sun-oriented electronic design and sun-oriented following innovations.

 Abstract

Metal compounds that are carcinogenic and harm human health through occupational and environmental exposure include arsenic, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, lead, mercury, and nickel. However, the fundamental processes leading to tumor development remain poorly understood. Oxidative stress, which is a discrepancy between the system's capacity to quickly detoxify reactive intermediates and the rate at which free radicals are produced, may be caused by interference with metal homeostasis. As a result, this incident results in protein modification, lipid peroxidation, DNA damage, and maybe symptoms of numerous diseases, including cancer. Numerous molecular markers and common mechanisms of action are included in this overview. Free radicals produced by metals, oxidative stress, protein, lipid, and DNA damage, responsive signal transduction pathways important for cell growth and development, and the functions of antioxidant enzymes and DNA repair systems are all discussed. It is also discussed how certain regulatory factors, such as AP-1, NF-B, Ref-1, and p53, interact with non-enzymatic antioxidants, such as carotenoids, flavonoids, glutathione, selenium, vitamin C, and vitamin E. Cellular oxidative stress markers, such as catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase, are also discussed. Oncogenic stimulation is associated with dysregulation of defensive mechanisms, including the cellular antioxidant network against free radicals and a deficit in DNA repair. These findings support the hypothesis that DNA repair proteins and newly developing regulatory factors responsive to oxidative stress serve as possible predictors of tumor initiation and progression.

 Abstract

Financial literacy is a multifaceted concept and is considered to be one of the most researched areas and also a crucial component which envisages financial inclusion. It encompasses across all the levels of societies and economic strata. The lack of understanding the concept of financial literacy would result in poor investment decision making. Therefore, financial literacy acts as a catalyst which can improve the quality of life, as it boosts the savings and investment decision taken by individuals to ensure a safe and secured future. The paper is an attempt to methodically use a case study approach of women in Sadalga Taluka, Chikkodi" in order to understand the in-depth concept of financial literacy and its impact on investment decision making. The objective of the study is to closely examine the literacy levels of women using 4 demographic factors namely age, income, occupation and education level and also assess the components like Financial Awareness and Knowledge of Financial Products, Attitudes towards Savings and Investments, behaviour towards Savings & Investments and Financial Motivation were analysed in the research. It also encompasses the analysis of the influence of 4/2 demographic factors that impact the savings and investment decisions. The primary data for the study has been collected by developing a questionnaire as a survey tool consisting of 34 questions through convenience sampling technique and also conducted a face-to-face interview method. The four components namely, 129 women respondents belonging to varied economic, social and financial background residing in Sadalga village in Chikkodi. The data has been analysed using frequencies, percentages and cross tabulation. The findings of the study reveal that; although women having a reasonable income-generating employment backed up by their family bread-winners, they possess lesser financial knowledge. Majority of women (66%) respondents are well educated and belonged to the "others" (other than agriculture) category of occupation. They are presumed to be occupants of agriculture or running their family-owned businesses. It points to the understanding that the respondents with higher income levels have not sensed the need for financial literacy and knowledge on avenues of investment. The women who hold an above the average annual income are more motivated to invest in good investment avenues and are more inclined to make informed decisions for future. From the survey conducted and the interview, it was observed that a minimum percentage of women (32%) had lower level of financial literacy, and such individual women preferred gold investment as a conservational investment option.

 Abstract

Water is one of the most prevalent chemicals and comes in a variety of forms. Lakes are critical lentic freshwater habitats, with water quality influenced by a variety of environmental and seasonal factors. Three sites were chosen based on anthropogenic interference, and physio-chemical parameters of surface water were studied for the sixth month of the year 2020. Different physio-chemical characteristics utilized for water quality testing, such as temperature, pH, Turbidity, Hardness, Alkalinity, DO, BOD, COD, Phosphate, Chloride, Nitrate-Nitrogen, Nitrite-Nitrogen, Ammonia-Nitrogen, Silicate, must be understood in detail. Drinking water is an essential component for all living things. Lake water is a vital natural resource that contributes to human health, economic prosperity, and ecological diversity.This research will help raise public awareness about the importance of maintaining a healthy and environmentally friendly environment. These bodies of water are extremely valuable, and their water should be protected from pollution.

Abstract: Upper crossed syndrome is caused by weak lower and middle trapezius, tight upper trapezius and levator scapulae, weak deep-neck flexors, tight suboccipital muscles and sternocleidomastoid, weak serratus anterior, and tight pectoralis major and minor. Poor posture is the main driver of UCS. Postural deviations are a common problem among children caused by long term effects of poor posture induced by different factors of modern lifestyle. Sitting is the most common body position of every school child during classroom activities. The daily physical stresses associated with carrying bagpack causes significant forward lean of head and trunk. The simultaneous occurrence of forward head posture and rounded shoulders is a typical manifestation of upper crossed syndrome. Method - Observational study was conducted on 200 Subjects. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subjects were selected and explained about the procedure and informed consent was taken from all the included subjects and their teacher/parents before starting the procedure. Pectoralis major contracture test, Pectoralis minor contracture test, Upper trapezius muscle length test, Lower and Middle trapezius weakness test was done. Lateral view photo was taken then cranio-vertebral angle measured using kinovea software .Data was recorded and analysed. The results were analyzed and documents. Result - : According to the tests performed as mentioned above 1% population was tested positive for pectoralis major contracture test, 72 % population was tested positive for pectoralis minor tightness test, 89.5 % and 90 % tested positive for middle and lower trapezius weakness test respectively , 73% tested positive for upper trapezius tightness test and 76.5 % population showed decreased cranio-vertebral angle values which suggests forward head posture. The above mentioned results collectively suggest that 24% of the population exhibited upper cross syndrome. Conclusion - The study concludes that there is 24% of the population showing prevalence of the upper cross syndrome in school going children's. Hence it is necessary to create postural awareness and ergonomics advice among school going children
