 Abstract

Pollution threat created by textile industries in India is becoming a major ecological concern. The waste generated by textile units is in form of post producer and post consumer. Post producer waste is produced during the manufacturing stage and dumped at landfill sites in large amount at the outskirts of cities. Usually this waste is seen as fiber, yarn, fabric and garment leftovers. As per environmental concern this waste can be managed by reduce, recycle, reuse and restore. To overcome the pollution created by these units a small research was carried out. Yarn waste was collected from textile units of Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The waste was segregated and mixed with potter�s clay as dough or sandwich layer and small pots were made by hand. Later on cooling effect and tensile strength was studied respectively in experiment.

 Abstract

Natural Killer cells (NK Cells) act as the first line of defense against viral propagation. Being key players of innate immunity, they help in controlling viral propagation. In the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic scenario,Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus2 [SARS COV-2] is known to infect humans. Following infection, viral replication machinery in order to maintain functional integrity, tweaks the host immune system in its favor. Even though the molecular tinkering might not completely render the virus immune-proof to the host immune system, but buys time to allow its multiplication and spread. SARS-COV-2 infected patients develop severe and uncontrolled immune response. This is associated with increase in several cytokines and migration of immune cells to the affected area. NK Cells of innate immunity are known to be attracted towards and kill an infected cell without much antigenic specificity.SARS COV2 evades first line-of-defense by inactivating NK Cells. The Spike Protein1 (SP-1) on the virus when presented by HLA-E, interacts with the inhibitory receptor CD94/NKG2A on NK cells to inactivate it, preventing destruction of the infected cells. Crosstalk between innate and adaptive immunity is also prevented as active NK cell stimulates TH1 (T-helper 1) cells expansion via induction of IL-12 by macrophage. Therapeutic intervention with NK cells in hyper-activated inflammatory COVID patient might be a significant strategy. The CD94/NKG2A receptor [C type lectin receptor that recognize carbohydrate moiety] can be used as a plausible target for carbohydrate moieties(of the virus) ,thereby preventing interaction with HLA-E and thus switching off inhibitory signals. Antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity may also be a probable way. In this case, mAb(monoclonal antibodies) designed against SP1 protein can be produced; Fab of the mAb region binds to displayed SP-1 peptide by HLA-E ,and Fc region of the mAb binds to CD16A on NK cells and destroy the infected cell.

Background: - Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common cause of vaginal discharge among women in reproductive age. BV is associated with alteration of normal vaginal flora. BV is a sexually associated condition. It is characterized by increase in vaginal pH and presence of vaginal lactobacilli, Gardnerella vaginalis and Mobiluncus. BV is of special public health concern in India because of the high burden of reproductive and pregnancy related morbidity. High co-infection rates with sexually transmitted infections (STI) can increase the possibility of BV. BV can also increase the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Pregnant female with BV can also increase the risk of preterm labour, premature rupture of membranes, chorioamnionitis and postpartum endometritis. Methods: - A total of 250 samples of vaginal fluid samples were coming to departmental laboratory of Department of microbiology of the patients attending OPD Gynaecology and Obstetrics department of Santosh Medical College & Hospital, Ghaziabad in one year. High vaginal swab samples were taken from females were whiff test, gram stained, BV Blue test & RT-PCR were done. Diagnosed on the basis of Amsel�s criteria, Nugent scoring, BV Blue test & RT-PCR for bacterial vaginosis. Results: - Prevalence of BV were 66.8%. According to various tests it was found that Amsel�s criteria shows 74%, Nugent scoring showed 66.8%, BV Blue test showed 68.8% & RT-PCR showed 66.8% bacterial vaginosis positive. Conclusion: - Bacterial vaginosis can be considered a health problem among females. As Nugent scoring was considered as the gold standard method for diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis. As concluded that RT-PCR test, Amsel�s criteria and Nugent scoring test are most sensitive and specific.

 Abstract

Natural herbs have always been a part of Indian tradition as well as in developing countries around the world. Several studies using herbal extracts have shown significant potential as psychotherapeutics and psychiatric pharmaceuticals. One such herbal drug is Tulsi, which is indigenous to the Indian subcontinent and vastly used in Ayurveda and Siddha medical systems. Invitro studies have been performed to determine the adaptogenic, anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective, antimicrobial and immunomodulatory effects though clinical efficacy and safety studies are still underway. An extensive literature review was performed to identify the possible effects of Tulsi on the CNS. Recent research has been carried out on Tulsi for its CNS effects including anti-stress, anti-Alzheimer, anti-depressant, anti-anxiety, anti-epileptic, anti-oxidant activity. Databases included in this article involved articles from books, theses, electronic databases Google Scholar, Medline, PubMed, Science Direct, and Indian Medical databases from the past five years of research. All the studies have reported favourable outcomes with very few adverse effects reports. Further studies are yet to be carried out to determine its exact mechanisms, dosage forms and to identify which type of population is more likely to avail the therapeutic benefits of Tulsi. This review has identified and compiled the traditional herbal approach of utilizing Tulsi in CNS disorders.

INTRODUCTION: The growth of the world population, increasing urbanization, rising standards of living, and rapid development in technology have all contributed to an increase in both the amount and the variety of wastes generated by industrial and domestic and other activities. The problems of dealing with greater volumes of often more dangerous waste materials are particularly acute in developing countries where these changes have not been met by improvements in waste management technologies. Plastic is the common term used for a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials it�s used in a huge, growing, range of application from packaging to buildings from cars to medical devices, toys, clothes. This synthetic material composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine, and sculpture. Which have high molecular weight Macro molecules by polymerization makes plastic. During manufacturing allows it to be cast, pressed, or extruded into a variety of shapes like films fibers, plates, tubes, bottles, boxes, and much more by application of heat and pressure or force. METHODOLOGY: Quantitative approach was adopted to achieve the objectives of the study, which is felt to be most appropriate in the field of education for its practicability in real life situation. It has the advantage of practicability, feasibility and to a certain extent for generalization. Research design was Descriptive research design. The study was conducted at Gajanana I.P.S police colony, Chittoor. Population includes Housewives residing at Gajanana I.P.S Police colony, Chittoor. Sample size consists of 100 Housewives under inclusion criteria. Non probability convenient sampling technique was adopted based on inclusion criteria. RESULTS: Out of 100 samples majority (59%) were having moderate knowledge, 18per cent were having inadequate knowledge and 23per cent were having adequate knowledge on hazards of plastic usage. There is significant association between level of knowledge of housewives with religion, education, occupation, monthly income, type of family, usage of plastic bag was significant at <0.05 level where as remaining demographic variables (age, source of information) are not showing any significant. So null hypothesis rejected. The mean knowledge score was 1.95 and the standard deviation was 0.642.Based on the findings, it is found that most of the Housewives had moderate knowledge on hazards of plastic usage. CONCLUSION: Association of knowledge on hazards of plastic usage among housewives with their selected demographic variables like religion, education, occupation, monthly income, type of family, and plastic bag usage significant at 0.05 level. Hence HO2 was rejected. And some of the variables have not shown significance such as age and source of information. So null hypothesis rejected. The mean knowledge score was 1.95 and the standard deviation was 0.642. These findings suggested structured teaching Programme will improve the knowledge regarding hazards on plastic usage.

In a period that is apparently soaked with state sanctioned trial of all tints and stripes, it is anything but difficult to fail to remember that evaluations not just measure the execution of understudies, yet additionally unite and upgrade their learning. Evaluation for learning is best clarified as a cycle by which the appraisal data can be utilized by educators to change their instructing systems while understudies change and modify their learning draws near. Successfully executed, developmental evaluations can change over homeroom culture to one that resounds with the victory of learning. In this paper, we present 10 proverbs that show ways that developmental appraisals can be better comprehended, acknowledged, and actualized.
