 Abstract

HIV still poses a serious hazard to public health, and co-infection with Hepatitis B and/or C virus adds another element of danger. When compared to a single/mono infection, this double/triple infection increases morbidity and mortality. Hence, the regular checking for HBV and HCV infections in People with HIV (PWH) will be helpful in proper patient care and management. To study the prevalence of HBV and HCV coinfection among PWH and people without HIV (Non-PWH). A total of 220 cases with HIV (n=110) and without HIV (n=110) infection were included in the study. Samples were tested for HBV and HCV infection by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) method. Odds ratios, 95% confidence interval was calculated and the relative risk factors were analysed. Among the 110 PWH, 4 patients shown, HIV-HBV co-infection (Odds ratio (OR):2.0377 with 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 0.3655 to 11.3620) and in 5 patients, HIV-HCV co-infection (OR: 5.190 with 95% CI: 0.5964 to 45.1758 was observed. In 110 Non-PWH, 2 were HIV-HBV co-infected (1.81%) and 1 was HIV-HCV co-infected (0.90%). None of the participant either from PWH or from Non-PWH is positive for Triple co-infection of HIV-HBV-HCV. Our study demonstrates the co infection of HBV and/or HCV in HIV patients that significantly associated with immunodeficiency. The prevalence of HIV-HCV co-infection is more than HIV-HBV con-infection. But the prevalence of HBV is more in non-PWH than HCV. These findings emphasis the necessity of improving integrated care approaches, especially for the population with immunodeficiency, in order to lower the risk of viral transmission.

 Abstract

Sexual harassment at work is the absolute reverse of gender equality, which has been pushed for all over the world. It is a kind of gender discrimination that violates Articles 14, 15, 19, and 21 of the Indian Constitution, which guarantee a woman's right to equality and right to life. These Articles guarantee every Indian citizen, regardless of gender, the right to equal protection under the law, the right to live a life free from any kind of discrimination, and the right to protection of life and personal liberty. On July 9, 1993, India signed the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). After the horrific gang rape of Bhanwari Devi, a social worker from Rajasthan, a petition was brought for the first time before India's supreme court in 1997 to uphold the fundamental rights of working women. In this research paper, one of the most important causes is the male-dominated organisational structure. For example, a lot of the harassment women face at work isn't "sexual" in nature or intent, but it's done to show that men are in charge. In organisations, women usually have less power in the hierarchy than men, so sexual harassment is one way for the powerful to keep control. When they started looking for a job in an organisation, whether it was an educational institute, a private business, or the government, they were harassed and given sexual favours by the person in charge. In exchange, they were promised a job, which is what led to sexual harassment of women. The current research suggests that the most important thing to do at this point is to examine the problem in greater detail and come up with preventative actions that could better evaluate the situation.

Abstract: PURPOSE: The aim of the study is to determine the occurrence of sleep disorders in stroke patients and their prevalence in relation to stroke. INTRODUCTION: Stroke is a medical condition in which poor blood flow to the brain results in cell death. Stroke is one of the most common neurological disorders in clinical practice. According to WHO, it is the second commonest cause of death worldwide. It is forecasted that the deaths because the of stroke will rise to 6.5 million by 2015 and by 2020, stroke and coronary artery disease are expected to be the leading causes of losing life. Earlier Surveys on stroke indifferent parts of India shown that the prevalence of stroke varies in different regions of India and ranges from 40 to 270 per 1, 00,000 populations. Stroke is responsible for around 11% of all deaths worldwide. METHODS: This Study was conducted in the neurology department of Lalitha Super Speciality Hospital, Guntur Andhra Pradesh. A 300 bedded multi specialty tertiary care hospital for a period of 6 months from 2020-2021.The procedure of the study was a prospective observational study was conducted in the hospitalized stroke patients. The inclusion criteria for the study are the patients admitted in the hospital of any age, in patients who are diagnosed with stroke, patients who are willing to participate in study and patients with sleep disorders with past medical history of stroke. RESULTS & DISCUSSION: A sample of 202 patients were enrolled into the study. The data was taken from the patient who is admitted in the hospital. In this study the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea, possible etiologies of obstructive sleep apnea in different types of stroke patients. In order to validate the patients having obstructive sleep apnea all the patients were advised to go through polysomnography test, however, majority of the patients did not report for polysomnography test. Out of 202 patients 145patients were males and 57 females. The majority of the participants belonged to the age group of 30 to 79. Out of 145 males 74(51.03%) were alcoholics and 71(48.97%) are non-alcoholics. Out of 145 males 80(55.17%) are smokers and 65(44.83%) are non-smokers. Out of 145 males 79(54.48%) patients had obstructive sleep apnea. Out of 57 females 35(61.40%) patients had obstructive sleep apnea. Females are more susceptible or more likely to develop Obstructive sleep apnea compared to males. Patient counseling was provided to patients regarding proper sleeping posture, sleep time and duration of sleep for avoiding Obstructive sleep apnea. CONCLUSION: The results clearly show that there is clear association between Obstructive sleep apnea and Stroke in males and females. However, females are more susceptible or more likely to develop Obstructive sleep apnea compared to males. Patient counseling was provided to patients regarding proper sleeping posture, sleep time and duration of sleep for avoiding Obstructive sleep apnea. Sleep disorders are highly prevalent in patients with stroke and in those at risk for stroke. Thus, sleep disorders screening through questionnaires such as the ESS and the Berlin Questionnaire should become a part of standard of care in stroke clinics. Finally, newer strategies to educate future health-care professionals and the public about the importance of sleep and its impact on stroke and cardiovascular disease are vital.

The rising industrialization process was a game changer in the development of the global economy. Social movements have changed green chemistry since the 1940s and resulted in shifts in industrial positions and sustainable processes with improvements in environmental effect and awareness of businesses and the general public. The 12 principles of "green chemistry," which were developed by Paul Anastas and John Warner in the 1990s, are centered on limiting or avoiding the use of harmful solvents in chemical processes and analyses as well as the formation of residues from these procedures. The creation of analytical techniques, which gave rise to the term "Green Analytical Chemistry," is one of the most active fields of research and development in green chemistry. This research exercise tries to explore the evolution of Green chemistry.

ABSTRACT Organic food refers to crops or livestock that are grown on the farm without the application of synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, and without using genetically modified organisms. The high growth of population and life expectancies during the recent years increased demand for food supplies in India. Consumer surveys indicate that the public is concerned about the awareness of the organic food products and safety of the produce that they purchase in stores due to possible pesticide contamination. The paper aims to find out the consumption pattern and purchase frequency of organic food in urban area of Bengaluru. The size of the sample was 106. The study was conducted using Google forms and through interview. Face to face interview was carried out in Organics Store with the consumers who had come to purchase organic food products. Demographic profiles considered in this study are; age-group, gender, education, occupation, income and number of members in the household. Among the 106 respondents, the numbers of female respondents were 62.3 percent while the study had 37.7 percent of male respondents 32percent of the respondents preferred supermarket as place of purchase. 97 percent of the respondents agreed that organic foods are healthier 82 percent of the respondents agreed that organic foods are natural. Consumers are more inclined towards organic products due to health benefits that it possesses. Middle-aged group are the most common respondents for organic food. This is because they become health conscious at this stage of life. Increasing the awareness level of organic products, encouraging people to create their own organic garden can increase consumption of organic foods.
