 Abstract

Public distribution system (PDS) is a vehicle for ensuring food security for all. This paper evaluates the current system of PDS in the Balangir district of Odisha on the basis several key factors such as access, efficiency, adequacy and preferences. The study is based on both primary and secondary data and used purposive sampling method to collect primary data of 93 household by structured questionnaire across the Balangir district of Odisha. In this study statistical tool like descriptive statistics, correlation and regression are used to examine the relationships between different variables. This study also explores whether the beneficiaries prefer food grain subsidies or cash transfer. The study shows that PDS in Odisha is functioning reasonably well and has significantly improved over the years, but the amount of grain and quality of the commodities provided are far from satisfactory. The household also express strong preference for distribution of food grain over cash.

 Abstract

In modern age, international trade is assumed an engine of economic growth and development. It facilitates vast international market with unlimited opportunities, technological advancement, competitive and efficient allocation of resources into units of economic size. It translates the agrain and traditional economy into the modern industrialized economy. It expands entrepreneurship and tertiary sector also. Hence, it is a great stimulus for growth and development. The entire data for the present study is collected from the secondary sources. The main objective of the paper is to study the trend of India and OECD countries. Foreign trade contributes to economic development in a number of ways. First, the primary function of foreign trade is to explore means of procuring import of capital goods, without which no process of development can start. Secondly, it provides for flow of technology, which allows for increases in total factor productivity, Thirdly,it generates pressure for dynamic change through competitive pressure from imports, pressure of competing for exports markets, and a better allocation of resources. This paper analyzes the growth of INDO-OECD countries during the period. We find that more than 50 percent trade is recorded with OECD countries during the period 1987-88 to 1999-00 but it declined 20 percent trade and is recorded more than 30 percent is recorded with OECD countries during the period 1999-00 to 2019-20.

 Abstract

The economic importance of aquatic animals and pesticides for the betterment of the human beings is obviously known and tested. These pesticides behave as pollutants, when viewed for the ecosystem, environment and non-target organisms. Fipronil 5%SC one of the broad-spectrum insecticide belongs to the phenylpyrazole chemical family. Fipronil's specificity towards insects is believed to due to its greater affinity to the GABA receptor in insects relative to mammals and its effect on glutamate-gated chloride (GluCl) channels, which do not exist in mammals. Because of its effectiveness on a large number of pests, Fipronil is used as the active ingredient in flea control products for pets and home roach traps as well as field pest control for corn, golf courses, and commercial turf. Its widespread use makes its specific effects the subject of considerable attention. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of fipronil pesticide on Indian major carp (Labeorohita) and Chinese major carp (Ctenopharyngdonidella) for the 96-h LC50 value were found 1.32 and 1.5mg/l, and observed the behavioural studies.

 Abstract

Water is the most important source for every living being on earth. Rivers are the major source for fulfilling useful purpose like drinking, washing & irrigation etc. River Narmada is also known as life line of Madhya Pradesh for its huge contribution to the state of M.P. In the present study two sample stations were selected named Mandleshwar (S-I) & Khedighat (S-II) to collect samples. Water sample of River Narmada from these two stations has been collected to evaluate its suitability for drinking, irrigation& all domestic purposes. The important physical and chemical variables like pH, Temperature, conductivity, Turbidity, Total dissolved solid(TDS),Suspended solid, Alkalinity, Total hardness, Ca, Mg, Chloride, Fluoride, Nitrate, Dissolved Oxygen, BOD, COD were examined in the laboratory. Standard method APHA (2002) was used during the analysis. After analysing variables in the lab it was concluded that the quality of water is safe and suitable for all useful domestic & agricultural purposes.

Life is a constant state of flux, in order to achieve its splendour and stateliness, Indian English literature had to travel a long way to get there. In tandem with this trip, the standing of women around the world has been rapidly changing in recent years. Indian women have a long history of blindly accepting the family structure and displaying a rebellious attitude. Slowly, though, the times changed, and people began to strive for self-sufficiency and independence. The current paper examines how her better half's self-centered perspective causes her to revert to being a soul and ambitious lady.

 Abstract

Aluminum was successfully used as the material for the chassis frame, a main structural member of heavy-duty trucks, to significantly reduce the truck weight and so allow the payload to be increased. The shape and configuration of the aluminum frame design were optimized while maintaining strength and rigidity equivalent to those of a standard steel frame by using computer-aided-engineering analysis. The stress analysis is important in life prediction of components to determine the critical point which has the highest stress. In this paper were are going to change the material of the chassis frame instead of using cast iron. The values of the equivalent stress, equivalent strain and total deformation are compared between cast iron,A354 alloy and A356 alloy. The analysis was done for a truck model by utilizing a commercial finite element package ANSYS workbench

Abstract: Background: Low back pain (LBP) is commonly accompanied by radiating pain in one or both legs and experienced by people of all ages. Many professionals are using laptop and computers in non-desk setting situations at the table, and on the bed and floor tend to stay in a static posture for long periods which can lead to poor spinal alignment and bad ergonomics. LBP is the leading cause of Years Lived with Disability (YLD) being one of the major public health problems globally that requires attention and may also to take physiotherapy intervention. Aim: To evaluate prevalence of LBP in work from home IT professionals. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 892 work from home IT professionals of Anand city, aged between 20-45 years fulfilling the inclusion criteria. Subjects were selected by a convenient random sampling method and general assessment was taken. Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) was used as the outcome measure. Data were analysed using SPSS software for descriptive and analytical statistics. Results and Discussion: Total 892 subjects (582 males, 310 females) selected based on inclusion criteria. The mean age was found to be 26.25 + 5.21 and the mean ODI score of all the subjects was 7.16 + 8.61 belonging to the minimal disability. Result shown that 91.31% subjects had minimal disability, 7.61% had moderate and 1.09% had severe disability, while 0% were crippled and bed bound. Out of total subjects, 69.05% reported LBP and 30.95% had no LBP. Conclusions: There was significant amount of prevalence of LBP among IT professionals while doing work from home. This study showed that the majority of IT professionals doing work from home experienced minimal disability due to low back pain according to the ODI scale.

 Abstract

This review paper discussed the nanomaterials used in concrete and focus on the effects on concrete resists by impact loading at elevated temperatures. Basically, the use of nanomaterials is to increase the performance of concrete, so its use is increasing in the field of concrete technology drastically. Numerous studies found that the use of nanomaterials in concrete improves the strength, durability, and other mechanical properties. The nanomaterials are beneficial to improvements in strength characteristics of the concrete. The studies found that different nanomaterials used in different amounts in concrete and kept at a temperature of 12000C then concrete tolerate high temperatures up to 4000C. The nanomaterials possess the tendency to accelerate the hydration reaction and fill the micropores, so they create the dense microstructural concrete. More the denser concrete more its strength. By doing comparative studies on nanomaterials found that some nanomaterials have unique property such as nano-zinc oxide act as a corrosion inhibitor and nano-alumina controls the setting time. All these aspects make nanomaterials added concrete essentials and sustainable materials for construction purposes.
