 Abstract

Water quality profile based on physicochemical parameters is short and easy approach to assess present status of any water body. Reservoirs have social and economic importance for humans, as they bring industrial, agricultural and urban development, contributing with hydroelectricity and supplying water for human consumption and irrigation. Uttarmand is a medium irrigation project constructed across the river Uttarmand, a tributary of Krishna river in Patan Tahsil of Satara district in Maharashtra. Various anthropogenic activities adversely affect physicochemical parameters of the water. Thus, water quality assessment from selected sampling stations of the reservoir was carried out from January, 2019 to December, 2019. The water quality parameters analyzed includes temperature, pH, turbidity, total dissolve solid (TDS), total hardness, alkalinity, chlorides, free CO2, dissolved oxygen, BOD, phosphate and nitrate. Variation in physicochemical parameter was observed which gives baseline information in water quality monitoring strategies.

 Abstract

Background: Gastric ulcer disease remains the most common gastrointestinal disease. This affects about 4 million people every year worldwide with an incidence of 1.5%-3% and 2-14% of these will progress to perforation. Mortality is reported in 30% of cases and caused morbidity in 50% of patients. Some studies have suggested that mortality in patients with peritonitis accompanied by candidiasis ranges from 20%-75%, whereas others have argued that the presence of fungal isolates in patients with perforated peptic ulcer does not affect the outcome. A recent study reported an incidence of 45% of patients peptic ulcer perforation cases accompanied by candidiasis in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya in 2019. Methods: This was a cross sectional study based on medical record data of patients with gastric ulcer perforation accompanied by candidiasis who underwent laparotomy and gastric repair surgery at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya from January 2019 to December 2020. Results: There was no significant correlation between candidiasis and mortality in gastric ulcer perforation patients (p=0.989). Conclusion: Candidiasis does not increase mortality in patients with gastric ulcer perforation.

 Abstract

An IoT-based vehicle theft detection and remote engine locking system is GPS technology that helps the users identify the vehicle in theft mode and enables the controlling mechanism technique. At present day scenario, there is a rise in the number of vehicle thefts exponentially. Criminals are becoming smarter day by day and have reached the stage of applications present against the existing vehicle safety system. Vehicle theft has become a major issue which should be traced and prevented. The proposed system overcomes most of the limitations and the cost effectiveness and also reducing complications by making use of few high-priced products like ignition key. In proposed method we have the extension for controlling mechanisms which remotely locks the vehicle engine and prevents the theft. In proposed technique, user start/stop the vehicle either by using the android application or by the ignition keypad-based security unlocking system, tracks exact location (latitude, longitude) of the vehicle using the application anywhere any time. Android application is very helpful for locking the vehicle engine in case of theft and upon rash driving of vehicles. In this way vehicles are provided with better controlling mechanism and thus reducing the crimes.

 Abstract

The pandemic situation has wreaked havoc in the lives of people and economies throughout the world. During the lockdown, people had a lot of free time in their hands. At this time, Social media became very important to individuals for obtaining relevant information. It also helped businesses to market their products to their respective target demographic. Social media has helped consumers to expedite their search for services during the pandemic from the comfort of their homes. This extraordinary situation has rendered traditional approaches of marketing such as distributing flyers in order to gain new customers obsolete. Businesses who have been able to shift to an online platform have been able to stay afloat. Social media marketing has helped businesses to make itself known to new interested consumers and facilitate growth in sales and revenue. Social media also can help a business in building a community of potential consumers and enable it to closely interact with them. Social media also gives a customer the opportunity to leave their feedback, complaints and criticism from his/her home itself. Marketing in social media is of low cost and has a higher potential to reach customers throughout the world. COVID-19 has changed the needs and interests of consumers. This has generated the requirement of businesses to change their marketing strategies, introduce new products in order to cater to the needs of the people. Food and medicine delivery services and software companies have boomed during the Pandemic. The pandemic taught the lesson that businesses should be flexible and there is a need to make decisions quickly and effectively in response to such emergencies. The present study attempts to facilitate understanding in readers as to how important and helpful social media really was during the pandemic.

 Abstract

Purpose: Organizations are often regarded to benefit from workforce diversity and inclusion since it broadens their expertise and viewpoints. The purpose of this study is to bring together the disparate literature on workforce diversity and inclusion. as well as to shed light on future research avenues in the field of workforce diversity management. Design/Methodology: - This research looked at a variety of empirical and conceptual studies on workforce diversity and its implications. Using the literature published between 1987 and 2021. The paper uses secondary data gathered for the review of workforce diversity and inclusion. Findings: A literature evaluation was commissioned to focus on workplace diversity and inclusion. Through the review, it was clearly understood the implication of workforce diversity and inclusion to the modern era. According to the findings of the review, there is a large body of research in the field of diversity and its outcomes. More study in the domain of inclusion and its related effects is needed because it is a comparatively recent topic of investigation. Practical implication: This study examines the effectiveness of literature reviews in broadening existing knowledge on a specific area and formulating research prospects for future studies for researchers. Originality/Value: This study contributes a theoretical perspective to the management of key diversity and the development of diverse organizations.

 Abstract

Since its first discovery in an Iranian male in 1961, zinc deficiency in humans is now known to be an important malnutrition problem world-wide. It is more prevalent in areas of high cereal and low animal food consumption. The diet may not necessarily be low in zinc, but its bio-availability plays a major role in its absorption. Phytic acid is the main known inhibitor of zinc. Compared to adults, infants, children, adolescents, pregnant, and lactating women have increased requirements for zinc and thus, are at increased risk of zinc depletion. Zinc deficiency during growth periods results in growth failure.

 Abstract

The dental plaque-induced periodontal disease presents the characteristic signs of inflammation and loss of supporting periodontal tissue. Biofilm removal, antibiotics along disinfectants are considered conventional methods of periodontal therapy. However, it has some limitations. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (PDT) seems to be a unique and interesting therapeutic approach toward periodontal therapy. There is a great need to develop an evidence-based approach to the use of PDT for the treatment of periodontitis and periimplantitis. However, the low wavelength lasers exhibiting deep tissue penetration basically do not interact with the periodontal tissues within the pocket. Therefore, PDT as a low-level therapy with short irradiation time does not produce any thermal change within the gingival tissue and root surface or destruction of the intact attachment apparatus at the base of pockets. PDT may be an effective way to treat the bacteria linked to periodontal diseases and could provide a better option than antibiotics or other mechanical methods for treating periodontal diseases and may prove to be a promising alternative to conventional periodontal therapy in near future.
