Aim/purpose The aim of the study is to analyse the methods and challenges of online laboratory practicum teaching by science teachers in Mumbai region, based on experiences of the COVID-19 emergency. Background To day the world is facing the highest risk on health due to the outbreak of Covid 19 which started around March 2020 and continuing till now. This resulted in the closure of over 90% of schools, colleges, universities all over the world and resulted in the sudden transition of online mode of teaching from the traditional class room teaching. The ongoing pandemic has given an opportunity to re-think the deep rooted class room mode to online of learning of all the subjects including the ones which require physical laboratories. Methodology For this, a survey method was undertaken and the data pertaining to the methods used to conduct of practicum in the science subjects during normal time (before the outbreak of the pandemic) and the methods used to conduct practicum during the lockdown due to covid-19 , the challenges faced by the teachers in the process, the perception of the teachers about online labs with respect to its effectiveness compared to physical lab, opinion regarding whether it can be used for understanding of the students in addition to the physical lab, whether they would recommend online platform to their institution in future was collected through google form from the teachers teaching in schools colleges in Mumbai region. The data was analysed using SPSS. Contribution The study results are expected to contribute to considering the technology enhanced methods like on line lab, virtual lab, simulation to supplement the physical lab and to create interest, self-learning, experimenting, exiting experiences for the learners by accessing various resources available crossing the geographical boundaries. Findings The results of methods revealed that most teachers were not equipped with the knowledge, skill and technology to conduct experiments by simulations. Some used online labs. Majority of teachers showed live demonstrations of experiments and videos of experiments from You tube, while some showed recorded experiments. The challenges faced were mainly due to lack of face to face interaction, instability in internet connection, inability to create a laboratory atmosphere online and difficulty in assessing learning outcomes. Even though the teachers feel online laboratories cannot be considered as effectively as the physical ones they are positive about considering the option for better understanding and practice beyond the campus. Recommendation: To provide Systematic training for teachers in the technology enhanced methods like on line labs, virtual labs, simulation. Steps need to be taken by government to minimize the challenges faced due to unreliable internet connection. Efforts to be taken by policy makers, institutions and educational technology providers to come together to make the technologies available at an affordable cost to all the students so as to create 21st century requirement of STEM skilled work Further Research The current study has focused only on teachers. A separate study is required to be undertaken for the students to know their perspectives, experiences, challenges and learning outcomes.

Abstract: Women generally spend last third of their life time in menopause after reproductive year has ended. The menopausal transition precedes menopause it is characterized by irregularity of the cycle, hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, anxiety, and sleep disturbances is one of the main symptoms; regular exercise may help to improve sleep quality. Diet also plays an important role in quality of life of menopausal women. OBJECTIVE- The present research was conducted to study the impact of yoga and walking on dietary habits and sleep pattern in menopausal women. METHODOLOGY- Purposive sampling was used to recruit 83 participants into control and experimental group. The impact of 3 months daily half an hour yoga training for these asnas (Warrior pose,vajrasna,child pose, cat cowpose,Butterfly pose, sleeping butterfly pose, parvamuktasana ,relaxing pose, pranayama) and walking was studied on dietary habits and sleep quality .The tools used to collect data were questionnaire and 24- hour dietary recall. The sleep quality was analysed using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Data collected were coded in Microsoft excel and statistical analysis was done using SPSS to interpret the results. RESULT-The age of study participants ranged between 41-51 years with the mean of 45 years There was no significant difference for energy intake (t-0.82 ,p=>0.05) highly significantly excess consumption of carbohydrate, highly significantly decrease in protein(t=-2.842,p0?.01) intake at baseline in intervention group participants. In the same participants post intervention there was non-significant difference in energy intake (t=-0.33,p=>0.05) highly significantly excess consumption of carbohydrate ad highly significant decrease in protein intake and for fats it was seen that participants before intervention consumed 22% of fats in their daily diet this difference was greater than the dietary guideline by 2.69 however post intervention there was reduction in the consumption of the fat by 1.96 (22%) but still this was significantly greater than dietary fat guidelines. In experimental group participants there was highly significant reduction in the sleep scores from 9.60 to 6.38 post intervention (t=13.53,p?0.01) however in control group participants there was highly significant increment in sleep scores from 9.03 to 9.72 post intervention.(t=-2.85,p=?0.01).Thus sleep quality increase in intervention group participants and deteriorated in control group participants post intervention. CONCLUSION- Thus overall yoga and walking had an impact on the fat intake and sleep quality in the intervention group participants as compared to control group .Fat intake reduced significantly by 1.96gm or 2% in intervention group participants . Overall sleep quality in intervention participants improved significantly.

Validation is the most recognized and important parameter of GMPs. This article provides an introduction about the process validation of the pharmaceutical manufacturing process and its importance according to The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This work is to present an introduction and general overview on process validation of the pharmaceutical manufacturing process. Quality cannot be ensured by sampling, testing, release of materials and products. Quality assurance techniques must be used to build the quality into the product at every step and not just tested for at the end. Process validation of a process will ensure production of a drug of reproducible quality. In the pharmaceutical industry, Process Validation performs this task to build the quality into the product because according to ISO 9000:2000, it has proven to be an important tool for quality management of pharmaceuticals.

Night travelling leads to lack of travelling judgment and dangerous for beginner drivers. Even the expert driver may miss the wheel judgment in 4-wheelers due to less visibility in front view lower position. On other hand GPS map, guided driving may distract the driving attention and lead to abnormal situations. The proposed system will be design to guide driver using infrared beam design to about wheel judgment and the vehicle passing lane space judgment. This technology could also extend to display mapping information and all other information that may guide driver on road. The number of vehicles on our roads is burgeoning day by day. This is turn forced almost all this vehicle manufactures to think about the extra safety instruments and electronic controls to attach with these products for giving the users a safety derived in all road conditions through a mass flow traffic. Currently central locking system and theft detection system is available in the vehicle these can alert car owner for theft detection but major problem with all these system is it can alert local users only not to the remote one.

Abstract Background Maternal healthcare is influential in improving the health of women and children. Its services are still a challenge in the rural area due to several factors like lack of infrastructure facilities, economic constraint of the people, socio-cultural and geographical location. This paper evaluates the availability of access to maternal healthcare services looking into the existing healthcare system in Pherzawl district, Manipur. Methods This study uses purposive and random sampling technique to find out the health seeking behaviour in access to maternal healthcare services among women of 15-49 years of age. Investigation is made on the services of three important component of maternal healthcare such as antenatal care, childbirth and postnatal care using in-depth interview and observation. Result The study found that 11.43% of women were receiving ANC check-ups more than four times during pregnancy while 2.86% of them have not done even a single visit. The reason behind is the inconveniences caused due to lack of awareness, their busy schedule for food security, poor cooperation from the husband and financial issue. Home delivery is high which constitute 38.57% wherein it is due to the poor quality of services and far distance from home. Majority of the home delivery is assisted by untrained traditional birth attendant. Government institutional delivery stood 42.86% with private hospital delivery is 18.57%. Moreover, 62.86% of women have not received postpartum check-ups due to lack of awareness which made them felt unnecessary unless they have serious health complications. Conclusion Maternal healthcare service is poor in the rural area. It is necessary that the healthcare system needs to improve the quality of services so that maternal healthcare services reach the target beneficiaries at the maximum. Also, stakeholders who are responsible for the proper implementation of healthcare services must be vigilant in serving the underserved population.

 Abstract

Afghans have a distinctive position in the medieval history of Indian Sub-continent. They first appeared as soldiers in the army of the Delhi Sultanate rulers. Later on they assumed multiple roles and became the traders, peasants, chiefs and rulers. Afghans were comprised of various tribes and sub-tribes. Most of them were pastoral nomads. However, some had turned to sedentary way of life and took agriculture as a means of livelihood. Being pastoral nomads, they not only took part in the overland trade of India themselves but also provided the means of transport and communication to other traders as well. Various Afghan tribes were engaged in this form of trade. One such important tribe was that of the Nuhani Afghans. They were involved in both the inland trade as well as the trade with Iran and Central Asia. In this paper an attempt has been made to study the role of the Nuhani Afghans in trade. It also attempts to look into the growing political status and its possible influences on the trading interests of the Nuhani Afghans.
