 Abstract

Coronaviruses have caused two large scale pandemics severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) in last two decades. It was thought that SARS-related coronaviruses (SARSr-CoV) is mainly found in bats. Previous studies have shown that some bat SARSr-CoVs have the potential to infect humans. The current outbreak of viral pneumonia in the city of Wuhan, China, was caused by a novel coronavirus designated 2019-nCoV by the World Health Organization, as determined by sequencing the viral RNA genome. Many initial patients were exposed to wildlife animals at the Huanan seafood wholesale market, where poultry, snake, bats, and other farm animals were also sold. Here we have taken an attempt to understand the genetic structure of 2019-nCoV and subsequent sequence analysis of multiple regions of its genome to identify unique motifs, receptor binding domain, hypervariable region which may direct some insight to future research for developing effective treatment against this novel coronavirus. We have identified unique motif in spike protein, multiple hypervariable regions, amino acids polymorphism in ORF8. These may affect the conformation of the peptide and shed some light to cross species transmission, and subsequent host adaptation

Abstract: Kerala � The God�s Own Country � is filled with the presence of music, dance, musical instruments, temple arts and temple rituals. The history of various traditional art forms rests in the soil of Kerala. About eighteen musical instruments are known as �Kshetra Vadyam�. It includes �Deva vadyam� and �Asura Vadyam� from which the distinct place for �Chenda� can be acknowledged by observing where it is present. It might be �Chenda�s resonance that make the seventeen �Ashtadasha Vadyam�s to below the �Chenda�. Some of the musical instruments which are being used for Pooja rituals in temples are also being used for some classical dance forms in Kerala. The study of such musical instruments and the classical dance forms associated to it are the foundation of this journal. Some musical instruments are used only outside the temple and some are used inside the temple only. �Sopana Sangeetham� is one of the popular among �Kshetra Sangeetham�. Only one musical instrument is used in �Sopana Sangeetham� ie Idakka. Idakka is a musical instrument which is inevitable in �Mohiniyattam� concert. Idakka is only used in �Kathakali� when female role is presented. The �Chenda� is an inevitable musical instrument in �Kathakali�. Altogether, five musical instruments in �Pakkamaelam� are used when �Kathakali� is staged from which four are �Kshetra Vadyam�s, �Chenda�, �Idakka�, �Madhalam�, �Chengila� and the one which is excluded in Kshetra Vadyam�s is �Ilathalam�. In �Krishnattam�, which is staged only in the surroundings of the Temple.�Idakka�, �Thoppi Madhalam�, �Sudha Madhalam�, and �Chengila� are borrowed from �Kshetra Vadyam,�s. �Mizhav� is a Kshetra Vadyam which is very important musical instrument for staging Kerals�s unique and traditional art forms, �Koodiyattam� and Nangyar Koothu�. Other than �Mizhav�, Idakka, Kuzhithalam, Conch, and Karumkuzhal are the musical instruments in Koodiyattam and Koothu.

Abstract Digit sucking is a natural phenomenon and is one of the most common learned patterns of behavior seen in children of preschool age. If digit sucking habit persists beyond the time permanent teeth begin to erupt, it may cause malocclusion. When the thumb is inserted into mouth mandible is positioned downward. The digit creates pressure on incisors blocking their effective eruption while allowing excessive eruption of the posterior teeth. The upper incisors are proclined and the lower incisors are retroclined. Starting from counseling to appliance therapy, sample treatment modalities have been reported in the literature. This case report describes a 5year-old girl who reported to our department with a history of thumb sucking habit which was intervened with the use of fixed habit breaking appliance.

 Abstract

One of the most complex challenges faced by today�s interconnected and interdependent common village is organized crime, which essentially constitutes to be nothing less than a guerrilla war against society. Organized crime in itself has multiple branches within, including illegal wildlife trade, terrorism, money laundering and trafficking and its impact can deter the very core of human society- from human safety to institutionalizing evils of corruption to having an adverse impact on the environment. The authors of this paper endeavor to establish the spread of organized crime as a phenomenon of increasing globalization and its further facilitation by the use of technology. The paper focusses on the recent increase in the industry of illegal wildlife trade and terrorist financing as substantiated upon in the recent reports released by FATF, keeping in mind the international jurisprudence and the challenges faced by them in addressing these transnational crimes and attempt to make a case for stricter implementation of legal instruments and concerted and coordinated efforts amongst nations to address the same.

 Abstract

Pesticides are documented to have strong impact on the physiological, biological, biochemical and morphological parameters of insects. This study reviews the sub-lethal impact of Cypermethrin (a synthetic pesticide) on various biological parameters of Callosobruchus chinensis. The designed insect was exposed to sub-lethal dose of Cypermethrin. The exposure did not produce immediate mortality of the insect, but had prolonged effects on its biological parameters. The laboratory analysis was carried out with LC10, LC20 and LC30 of the designed pesticide at a room temperature of 25-27 oC and relative humidity of 60-70%. The mean rate of oviposition decreased from control = (96 � 2), LC10 = (92 � 2) to LC20 = (79 � 2) and LC30 = (63 � 3). The percentage of egg development into larvae showed significant decline from control = (94%) to LC10 = (81%), LC20 = (67%) and LC30 = (55%) respectively. In the same way the percentage of adult emergence from the 4th instar larvae of C.chinensis showed significant decline from control (95.00 � 2.00%), LC10 (88.00 � 2.50%), LC20 (55.00 � 2.60%) and LC30 (40.00 � 2.85%). Similarly the mean life span of adult females decreases from control = 12.50 � 0.125 to LC10 = 8.25 � 0.190, LC20 = 6.50 � 0.150 and LC30 = 4.30 � 0.125. Since chemical pest control method is quick, easy and inexpensive, but it is associated with several negative effects on environment therefore in view of the environmental modifications that have significantly impacted our ecosystem, insect population and other beneficial non-target organisms, it is necessary to evaluate the lethal and sub-lethal effects of many pesticides frequently, as this will help to determine the dose response status of insect pests for preference and design of chemicals for control programme.

The purpose of the study is to explore the role of self-service technology (SST) service quality in enhancing customer-bank relationships. Specifically, based on the commitment-trust theory of relationship marketing, the study aims to examine the effect of SST service quality on customer trust and customer commitment in the context of mobile banking in Thailand. To test research hypotheses, the study employed a quantitative survey of 226 respondents. Structural equation modeling was utilized for data analysis. Results indicated that SST service quality embracing convenience, functionality, perceived control, and security within the mobile banking context has a large direct effect on both customer trust and customer commitment, two key constructs of relationship marketing success. The current study has extended the understanding of technology-driven service quality to relationship marketing body of knowledge. For managerial implications, it is imperative for bankers to provide higher quality services of mobile banking by prioritizing service quality factors to develop ongoing relationships with their customers.

 Abstract

Production of bulky silk is the need of the hour as the same is required for weft in the production of silk sarees. So far raw silk produced in charkha reeling device was used for the purpose. But due to non-availability of skilled labourers and improper working atmosphere in charkha reeling sector, alternative methods of production of bulky raw silk were thought off. In this context, introducing PVA yarn in the process of silk reeling has been developed by CSTRI by modifying the multiend reeling machine for the production of bulky void raw silk. The bivoltine cocoons along with Indian PVA yarn is used for the production of bulky silk. Using the Box and Behnken design of experiments the process variables viz., Number of cocoons, croissure length, reeling basin water temperature and reel speed have been standardized with 27 combinations of experiments. The study indicates that process variables significantly influence the reeling performance and quality of bulky void raw silk produced viz., reelability, non-broken filament length, single cocoon filament denier, raw silk percentage, average denier, cross section view of bulky void raw silk. Based on the response optimization in statistical analysis, it was observed that 20 bivoltine cocoons reeled per end along with Indian PVA yarn with 6 mm croissure length, 50�C basin temperature and reel speed of 100 m/min is ideal for the production of bulky void raw silk on modified CSTRI multiend reeling machine. The bulky void raw silk is quite useful as weft in the production of silk sarees with unique surface characteristics.

The present study deals with the cluster, discriminant and principal component analysis. The data for the present study was collected. Data on different morphological and seedling characters, namely tree height (m), tree diameter (cm), crown spread E-W (m), crown spread N-S (m), fruit weight (g), leaf length(cm), internodal length(cm), collar diameter (mm), number of branches per plant and leaf petiole (cm) were considered from five different districts comprising of ten seed sources. Two seed sources were considered from each district viz; Narag and Neripul from Sirmour district, Waknaghat and Sadhupul from Solan district, Sundernagar and Rewalsar from Mandi district, Mohal and Banjar from Kullu district, Basantpur and Sunni from Shimla district. Different morphological and seedling characteristics of ten seed sources were evaluated. Cluster analysis was performed and the seed sources were grouped into three clusters. Discriminant analysis was carried out to categorize the seed sources into high and low yielders. Tree diameter, Tree height and crown spread E-W are the most important characters that discriminate the two groups. Six seed sources from Mandi, Kullu and Shimla district were high yielder whereas other four seed sources were low yielder. Three principal components (PCS) were extracted out of ten which explained 34.675, 23.002, and 11.587 per cent of the total variation respectively amounting to 69.26 per cent of total variation.

In this paper software-defined network (SDN) approach used to provide a set of deliberate active allocators for virtual machines (VMs) in the cloud data center (DC). Each VM request has four parameters: CPU, RAM, disk, or memory. Virtual machine allocation is one of the challenges in cloud computing environments, especially for private cloud design. In this environment, each virtual machine is assigned to a physical host based on the resources available on the host. Specifically, in the case of different performance indicators and system requirements, quantifying the performance of scheduling and allocation strategies in the cloud infrastructure for different applications and service models is a very challenging and difficult solution.

Nowadays, there are numerous causes for visual impairment. Eye diseases which are evident in the retina can be spotted through a systematic and structured ophthalmologic examination. Subsequent rise of the patients with these diseases due to population growth, aging made the number of Ophthalmologists a controlling factor. Glaucoma is a type of deep-rooted disease which leads to vision loss thus making it irreparable. Therefore, this disease has to be detected at an early or intermediate stage for timely treatment. Various models have been developed based on image processing or deep learning to detect Glaucoma but the systems have either been computationally complex or of insufficient accuracy. In the proposed system, structured learning which makes use of the edge information of the fundus image is used for OD detection. Finally, the convolutional neural network (CNN) is used to check if it is glaucoma affected eye or not. Thus detecting Glaucoma at early stage with system producing the increased accuracy, specificity and sensitivity.

 Abstract

The aim of the article is to provide variant calling workflow and analysis protocol for comparing results of the two using two variant calling platforms. Variant calling pipelines used here are predominantly used for calling variants in human whole exome data and whole genome data. The result of a variant calling pipeline is a set of variants( SNPS, insertions, deletions etc) present in the sequencing data. Each pipeline is capable of calling its certain intersecting and certain unique variants. The intersecting and unique variants can further be distinguished on the basis of their reference SNP ID and grouped on the basis of its annotation. The number of variants called can be humongous depending upon the size and complexity of the data. R programming packages and ubuntu command shell can be used to differentiate and analyse the variants called by each type of pipeline.

 Abstract

Assam, one among the eight sisters in the North-Eastern region has been playing a vital role over the years in establishing a unique identity for India in the world scenario through its contribution in the production of tea. Although Assam was annexed into the British Empire in 1826, the British had made several detailed enquiries starting from 1778 about the resources of the region. The Britishers were keen to start tea cultivation so that they could compete with China which was the major explorer of tea during that period. In this context, the colonial government found the province of Assam the most suitable region to start the commercial cultivation of tea. As the tea plantations were highly labour intensive, the issues relating to labour gained high attention during that period. In due course of time, such requirement of labourers caused migration of labourers transforming the demographic structure of the whole society of Assam. Hence, through this paper an attempt has been made to study about the recruitment of tea garden labourers and how it led to the migration of labourers in colonial Assam. The current paper is basically a qualitative one based on secondary sources. Due to the laziness for working in the tea gardens by the local Assamese people and shortage of adult population, the tea plantations had to face the problem of shortage of labour. It is in this context that the colonial state provided a patronage and the migration of the black tribals i.e. the Adivasis started. The labourers were appointed mainly through two systems, i.e. Contractor system and Sardari system both of which proved to be brutal and inhumane. Moreover, inhumane practices were used in the whole process of transportation of labourers. After they reached the tea estates, the planters did not made proper arrangements for their living. Even after 72 years of independence, there is no marked improvement in the living standard of the tea garden labourers in Assam. The government, trade unions, media as well as the elite ones within the community have to play a positive role towards uplifting the condition of these people.

Abstract: The Corporate houses and different Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) have been constantly engaging in combating the COVID-19 pandemic situation in India. As a part of the CSR (Corporate Social Responsibilities) activity, several Indian corporate houses like the Mc Donald�s, the Audi, the Coca-Cola, the Volkswagen and many more Indian origin companies like the Infosys Foundation, the ITC Ltd, the TCS, the Reliance Industries Ltd etc. are trying to contribute money, foods, necessary commodities to the part of society where it requires the most and trying to make people aware about basic hygiene. Other than that the companies have taken precautionary measures for most of their employees to Work from Home and other flexibilities. Along with the corporate houses, the NGOs have been untiringly trying to help migrant labourers and other affected poor people in their own way apart from governmental measures. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) of India has already issued instruction to all states to utilize the services of NGOs to provide food and shelter to the migrant workers. NGOs like the MCKS Food for the Hungry Foundation, the Zomato Feeding India, the Give India, the SEEDS, the Uday Foundation, and the Khushiyaan Foundation etc. have been proving free foods or ration and shelters for migrant labourers and distributing free soaps, sanitizers & masks, medicines etc. to those who are not capable to buy. NGOs are also helping to those elderly persons who are abandoned by their families and friends. They are also collecting donations from the middle class and rich people who want to become a part of this philanthropic activity. All of them are trying to make India unite, hunger less and working with government to help those who needs it the most. The aim of this article is to focus on the role of the corporate houses and the NGOs in combating the pandemic situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in India.
