Aim: To assess the effect of skipping meals on nutritional status of individuals both males and females 20 - 40 years. Objective: 1)To assess nutritional status using anthropometric measurements. 2) To assess the nutritional status using 24 hour recall method. 3) To assess the dietary patterns, sleep patterns, medical history, reproductive health and physical activity of both the groups. 4) To observe the effect of skipping meals on various factors. Methods: The study was conducted in Mumbai. Purposive convenience sampling method was used for the participants both males and females in the age group of 20 - 40 year. Total sample size was 70. Tool used were 24hr Dietary recall method. Anthropometric measurement like current weight, height, body mass index (BMI), waist to hip ratio (W/H) were collected and analyzed using WHO criteria. The data collected was coded using statistical analysis tool. Analyses were performed using SPSS software version 20. P<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results and discussion: In this study 43 females and 27 males were included, in which 82.9% samples belonged to nuclear family. Majority of the samples were found to be graduates (50%) who majorly belonged to high socio- economic status (52%). The BMI of the samples was found to be falling in obese category 48.6%.Waist-Hip ratios revealed that, females had a higher risk (38.6%) of metabolic complications compared to males. It was observedthat the BMI increases when the samples skipped meals and showed a positive correlation at (p = 0.00). Samples who ate less than 3 meals in a day showed higher BMI (26.15 � 2.8) compared to those who had more than 3 meals in a day. These two parameters showed positive correlation among them. (p = 0.027). Conclusion: In the present study it can be concluded that less than 3 meals in a day and intake of less calories from food increases the individuals BMI.

The places which are far from Grid connection equip micro grid by using Renewable Energy sources. In this paper Remote area places depends on Renewable energy sources like wind power which is capable of supply for local loads. But loads are varying with respect to time; to meet the power demand of this varying local load can be handled by WECS with battery enabled system. Grid side converter connected with Wind generation and BESS are capable of handling the variable load in the system, which can act as static synchronous compensator. This STATCOM is responsible for providing necessary active, reactive power to the grid. The Grid side converter is also responsible for maintaining the quality of power, constant frequency, voltage levels. In this paper different loads are considered like Linear, Non linear and dynamic loads. The system is capable for handling the any type of load demand. Simulation is also gives the results regarding different load demands.

Abstract: Migration of people from one nation to another for higher education and better economic prospective has become a reality in post modern world. Geographical displacement gives rise to cultural and psychological displacement as well. Diaspora community is always confronted with a complex problem of negotiating boundaries in order to resolve crises arising out of displacement. Displacement has emerged as a multidimensional metaphor in the fictions of Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni. She deals with the issue of displacement at various levels including magic and reality, memory and experience, suppression and rebellion and so on. It is one of the recurrent themes of Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni. The present paper is devoted to critically look at the displacement crisis at revealed in her fictional world.

 Abstract

The Treaty of Lisbon has modified and enhanced the regulations and relations of the European Union. The European Union was fundamentally an Economic group. Presently, it has not only concentrated only on the market economy but has a mandate beyond that dimension. It created a much more centralized form of leadership and also regulated foreign policies. A uniform procedure was made for the member countries with regard to their entry and exit in and from the European Union. The formulations of enactment of new policies were also done under this Treaty. This treaty was basically to remove the defects which the earlier treaties of the European Union were possessing. It also played a very important role in the enhancement of the European market and the creation of an Open Market System. Treaty of Lisbon has been proved to be very effective to the objectives it aimed at. It has played a major role in expanding the European market economy. It has protected the rights of the member-states. It also has granted greater power to the directly elected representatives of the people. More legal rights have been granted to the member-states as they had before. The Author here will be discussing the major impact that the treaty had done in order to upgrade and enhance the European Market and has also tried to state the shortcomings of the treaty.

 Abstract

Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Cloud computing and storage solutions provide users and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in third-party data centers. It relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale, similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network. At the foundation of cloud computing is the broader concept of converged infrastructure and shared services. In Real time the issue we are discussing about is patent (ownership) misuse. The seller buys the ownership of a document or a streaming resource and it is being shared with other partners in the same business stream. This in turn causes great financial loss to the seller. The seller or the owner of the entity should be aware of file is being shared. We overcome this issue using security access protocol. The idea is we add limited access time to the file. The file or screening resource is controlled from owner side even if the resource is shared. If an unauthorized user tries to access the file, he will be promoted for access code; the owner can decide to grant access permission for the request user. A payload will be generated from the client side and sent to the origin user. The Payload contains the client details such as IP address, filename etc. with the help of payload, original user can check whether he have permission for the file he is trying to access.

 Abstract

intensive care unit acquired weakness (ICUAW) is a syndrome encompassing the myopathic, neuropathic, and atrophic changes associated with a critical illness. The deleterious effects of the illness itself can lead to rapid muscle loss, delirium, and chronic organ dysfunction. Early mobilization is considered gold standard care. The possible benefits of early mobilization include minimizing muscle wasting, reducing orthostatic intolerance, maintaining bone health, improving lung function by increasing functional residual capacity, maintaining a joint range of movement, and increased psychological wellbeing. The Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment tool (CPAx) is a numerical and pictorial composite of 10 commonly assessed components of physical function graded on a six-point Guttman Scale from complete dependence to independence. 30 Patients were recruited from the cardiac ICU of Vikhe Patil hospital. The sampling method was purposive sampling. Post-op CABG and Valvular replacement surgery patients were included aged over 18 years old with CICU length of stay of over 72 hours. The CPAx assessment tool was used to assess the patient on the 1st, 3rd, 6th post-operative day of the CICU. Conventional physical therapy treatment is given from the first day until the day of discharge. The CPAx contains ten components which include respiratory function, cough, bed mobility, sitting and standing balance, transfers, stepping, walking, and handgrip strength. On the day of discharge from the cardiac ICU, the CPAx was used again to assess the physical function status of the patient. The mean score for POD 1st is 14.23, POD 3rd is 29.07, POD 6th is 40.92, discharge day 43.62. there was a negative correlation between CPAx score on day 1 and length of stay (p-value-0.3672) and the correlation coefficient (r) is 0.02613

The present investigation entitled �Effect of plant growth regulators on chemical composition of mango (Mangifera indica L.) cv. Dashehari.� was carried out at the instructional Farm, Deptt. of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, IGKV, Raipur (C.G.) during the year 2017-18 employing Randomized Block Design with three replications. Three levels of NAA i.e., 15, 25 and 35 ppm, three levels of GA3 i.e. 15, 25 and 35 ppm and three levels of 2, 4-D i.e. 15, 25 and 35 ppm were sprayed at pea and marble stage of fruit development. All the treatments significantly influenced the number of fruits retained at pea, marble and harvesting stage of fruit growth and development as compared to the control. Qualitative characters like TSS (21.61%) and ascorbic acid (57.63 mg/100g) increased with the foliar application of 35 ppm 2,4-D and 35 ppm NAA respectively. While, reducing sugar( 5.71%) , non-reducing sugar (14.26 %) and total sugar (19.97 %) were increased with 35 ppm foliar application of 2,4-D. Acidity content of fruit (0.17 %) was recorded minimum under the superiority of treatment foliar application of 2,4- D at 35 ppm concentration. Among the different concentrations of plant growth regulators; the foliar application of 35 ppm 2, 4-D were found to be optimum concentration by which chemical composition of fruits can be significantly influenced.

Conventional 2-level PWM inverters generate high dv/dt and high frequency common mode voltages which is very harmful in electric drives applications. It may damage motor bearings, conducted electromagnetic interferences, and malfunctioning of electronic equipments. Due to capacitor voltage unbalancing, neutral point potential also varies from zero. This paper presents a simple method to control the harmonics, common mode voltages and neutral point potential variation in neutral point clamped (NPC) inverters using different structures of sine-triangle comparison method such as Phase Disposition (PD), Phase Opposition Disposition (POD), and Common Mode Voltage off-set voltage addition method. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of these simple methods to control common mode voltages. Neutral point potential variation is limited to less than 2% of dc capacitor voltage using a simple closed loop PI regulator.

 Abstract

Insects represent the culmination of evolutionary development of terrestrial arthropods and have adopted to the most diverse types of environment. The transition from aquatic to terrestrial mode of life was a crucial step in the evolution of higher metazoa and undenieable so in the tracheaete arthropoda. Insects of any water body plays significant role in maintaining ecological balance and becomes part of food chain, food web at specific trophic levels .Besides , they functions as biological indicators for determining the water quality and pollution in respective water bodies. The present investigation also reveals the role of insects and their types in a particular water body i.e river Tawi in Jammu. In Jammu region there are so many water bodies starting from wells, ponds, springs, lakes, and reaches upto streams but lacking coastal areas or oceans since the region is surrounding by hilly terrain. The river tawi is considered as holly and sacred river from religious point of view and supposed to be a life line of the Jammu city and other towns located on the banks of river . During this investigation it has been observed that there are large no of insect species present in the river but maximum emphasis were given on the subject about presence of some developmental stages of insects found frequently on the river banks. The most common method used for this study was hand nets , scoops and forceps capturing and even manual capturing was also carried out keeping in view the harmless nature of insects .In this study about 2-3 kms area of river tawi were investigated near the main tawi bridge.It has also been observed and realized during the investigation that the impact of pollution gradually reduces the population of some important insect species in the river. There are about 4-5 species of insects were observed and studied at different developmental stages ( larval , nymphal and adults ).
