 Abstract

ABSTRACT Alcoholism is a global phenomenon. The consequences of alcoholism remain the same everywhere with little variation in the magnitude. In the present study, an attempt has been made to study the effect of Psychological intervention on alcohol dependents. This is a Pre and post study in which the alcohol dependents were given Psychological intervention after administration of Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test. In the present research, Psychological intervention was taken as the independent variable and Alcohol Dependents as dependent variable. Initially, 90 participants were screened on the basis of having hazardous, harmful and dependence level of drinking on Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test. Finally, 42 participants left who gave their consent to participate in the study age range 25-35 years. After that 21 each in the experimental and control group were selected randomly. Finding indicated the significant improvement on the alcohol dependence usage of the participants of the experimental group than the control group after the intervention.

Prediction of lung cancer is most challenging problem due to structure of cancer cell, where most of the cells are overlapped each other. The image processing techniques are mostly used for prediction of lung cancer and also for early detection and treatment to prevent the lung cancer. Image quality and accuracy is the core factors of this research, image quality assessment as well as improvement are depending on the enhancement stage. The summary for the prediction of lung cancer by previous researcher using image processing techniques is also presented. There are three main components: multichannel super pixel level feature extraction and fusion, kernel sparse representation, and segmentation. In this method, sparse coding and dictionary learning, both part of kernel sparse representation, are implemented in a high-dimensional feature space F with the help of the kernel trick. Fusion system passes information within each decomposition level so that the details of the source image is preserved expressing the artifacts. It is difficult to determine whether narrowing of a spinal canal. In Proposed, Qualitative analysis like Clustering and quantitative analysis like feature extraction and image quality assessment is used to segment the cancer detected portion in lung scanned images. To segment the portion, have to filter out the acquired image based upon the masking methodology. The Clustering function will be applied extracted throughout the filtered image. After filtering and contrast enhancement, image quality assessment (Mean Square Error, Peak Signal to Noise Ratio etc.) is calculated to compare other techniques. After segmenting cancer region, the patient�s caretaker can receive the details through E-mail as report. Finally Accuracy estimation will be done for algorithm efficient level. After result, Feature Extraction and Image quality values are plotted and the message is sent to the caretaker through GSM.

 Abstract

Water is a necessary nutrient and plays a crucial role within the physical body. Pure drinking water is the source of all body fluids including blood, lymph, saliva, digestive enzymes, urines, etc. So, the right monitoring of water is much important for safe, pure and hygienic water. Source of water in most households is their wells. Therefore, testing our well water quality on a day to day basis is vital for maintaining a secure and reliable source of drinking water. The test results allow us to properly define the issues of a water system. This helps us to make sure that the water source is being properly shielded from potential contamination, which appropriate treatment is chosen and operating properly. The purity of drinking water is important for each and every one all over the planet, and today this is often a well-known problem due to many water prone diseases like cholera, diarrhoea etc. But the diseases that causes hormonal imbalance, genital disorders and tooth decay cannot be recognized through mere symptoms. So, the paper aims for solving these problems. The water samples are monitored in order to obtain the contents. Those contents are then used for purity prediction using machine learning algorithms. The results are then analyzed and checked for all the diseases which will be caused by drinking that water. The individuality is to get the water monitoring system which may be used at any home for domestic purpose. It can focus various regions that are suffering from disasters like landslides and floods. Because in such areas the water content varies and drinking that water can cause diseases that can't be recognized through mere symptoms. Main aim is to decrease the amount of living beings suffering from the harmful effects of polluted water.

 Abstract

In present investigation, acute toxicity of the pyrethroid pesticide Bifenthrin was carried out under experimental condition to adult Oreochromis mossambicus (Peters, 1852). The 96 h LC50 with 95% confidence limits of Oreochromis mossambicus is 2.423 (1.981-2.748)�g/l. None of the unexposed control fish died during the bioassay. Mortality rate of the exposed fish to the toxicant significantly (p<0.05) varied over the control at all concentrations during every 24h time interval. Significant relationship (p<0.05) was observed between mortality rate and exposure times (24, 48, 72 and 96 h) at all concentrations. Significant variation was recorded between mortality rate of fish at all the exposure doses at all the exposure times (p<0.01). The exposed fish exhibited abnormal ethological responses depending on dose of bifenthrin and duration of experiment. The opercular movement of the fish increased significantly (p<0.05) over the control with increasing concentration but decreased significantly (p<0.05) with the progress of time of exposure at all concentrations. The bifenthrin-based Marker pesticide was therefore classified as strongly toxic to fish.

Induced mutations is the best method to improve genetic variation within short time. Creation of genetic variation by induced mutations proved best for strengthening crop improvement programmes and represents a more efficient source of genetic variability than the gene pool protects by nature. In the present investigation seeds of finger millet were treated with different doses of gamma rays (GR) ranging from 200, 300 and 400Gy, varying concentration of ethyl methane sulphonate (EMS) 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4% and Sodium azide (SA) 0.02, 0.03 and 0.04%. Variations in the germination percent of seeds, seedling height, seedling injury and survival of plant at maturity of finger millet were recorded in M1 generation. The effects of the mutagenic treatments on quantitative traits resulting in reduction in traits such as percent seed germination except 200Gy (85.16%), 0.2% EMS (83.53%) and 0.02% SA (86.65%), seedling height except 200Gy (6.59cm), 0.2%EMS (6.54cm) and 0.02%SA (6.98cm) while survival of plant at maturity except 200Gy (79.26%), 0.2% EMS (78.41%) and 0.02%SA (81.54%) but increases seedling injury except 200Gy (-01.86%), 0.2% EMS (-01.08%) and 0.02%SA (-07.88%) was observed in treated M1 generated plants.

 Abstract

Earthworm, Eisenia foetida has a good regenerative potential and has been used in various studies to understand the regenerative process. Regeneration in earthworm is a sequential process starting with blastema formation by dedifferentiation and redifferentiation to restore the lost parts. Regenerative potential is dependent on the position of amputation and site specific.Eisenia foetida were cultured and two types of amputation were performed i.e. 20 segments amputated from anterior and posterior ends and 40 segments amputated from anterior and posterior end resulting in medial segments for regenerative studies. The growth and regenerative potential were compared and correlated. The anterior ends of the medial segment showed a better regenerative growth as compared to posterior end and quantified by the calculating coefficient of regeneration. It is also observed that medial fragment with more segments have a higher potential of regeneration and a good correlation was seen between the site of amputation and time for regeneration. Various theories are proposed relating to regeneration potential and site of amputation. A preference in anterior regeneration to posterior regeneration is hypothesized due to the presence of vital organs for survival. Regeneration should be studied at a genetic level to understand the mechanism.

 Abstract

Peace is the main precondition for the establishment of international relations and is one of the main concerns of countries involved in war and conflict and the international community. In order to ensure the establishment and consolidation of peace and security, several theories have been proposed and many institutions have been established. The United Nations, and for the most part the Security Council, is one of the most important institutions for achieving peace, and peacekeeping has been cited as the organization's primary goal. Many steps have been taken in Afghanistan since the fall of the Taliban government to bring peace, and many institutions, including the United Nations, have been cooperating with Afghanistan in bringing peace. The role of the United Nations in consolidating peace in Afghanistan includes three key areas: UN programs in Afghanistan, the elimination of terrorism in Afghanistan, and the role of the United Nations in establishing new structures such as the rule of law, elections and good governance in Afghanistan.

 Abstract

Indigenous vegetables are nutritious and available only in rainy season. These are grown naturally with no pesticide or chemical uses and are cost-effective. The aim of the study is to evaluate the phytonutrient content in developed food products using indigenous vegetables and to analyse the shelf life of the products. The study comprises at collection of indigenous vegetables from Vikramgadh of Palghar district and development of food products using them. These products are analysed for moisture content, ash content, phytochemical analysis, shelf life study using sensory evaluation and microbial testing. Nutritional assessment of all the developed food products was done using review of existing literature and �Indian Food Composition Table� (IFCT 2017) by Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) for other ingredients used in the preparation. The main indigenous vegetables used in this study are ambadi, nal bhaji, kardu, kartoli, bamboo shoots which are found to be low in calories, fats and rich in dietary fiber and various micronutrients as well as phytonutrients. With an idea of making healthy vegetable snacks and to increase the consumption of these underutilised vegetables for extended period of time in the diet, baked food products such as ambadi mathri, kardu sticks, nal bhaji sev, kartoli chips and pickle made from bamboo shoots were developed. These developed food products have shelf stability of more than a month. The overall acceptability of the food products was good. All the developed food products were observed to be better than their commercial food products counterparts as these vegetables are rich in antioxidant and have therapeutic application. These underutilised vegetables are useful in prevention of chronic diseases.

What did a wellbeing emergency mean for a financial emergency? For what reason did the spread of the coronavirus push the worldwide economy to the edge of total collapse? The appropriate response lies in two strategies by which coronavirus smothered financial exercises. Initially, the spread of the infection empowered social separation which prompted the shutdown of budgetary markets, corporate workplaces, organizations, and occasions. Second, the exponential rate at which the infection was spreading, and the increased vulnerability about how terrible the circumstance could get, prompted trips to wellbeing in utilization and speculation among purchasers, financial specialists and worldwide exchange accomplices.Beauty parlours, that were seeing some footfalls in January and February this year, are now running dry. For an industry that is based on human interaction and touch, salons have been greatly affected. Recently, various Coronavirus cases have become exposed in India. As the sickness is contracted fundamentally by contact and vicinity, the excellence and wellbeing industry is the most affected. In addition to the fact that it is hard to trim hair or apply make-up from a separation of six feet, the idea of work from home doesn't exactly work either. This article focuses on limitations and the measures they are taking to protect the strength of the group, clients, and approaches to defeat budgetary hits.

Despite the potential value of DNA evidence to resolve cases of sexual offences, DNA has very limited influence during such investigations. The prosecution of sexual offences is shaped by multi dimensional factors that restrict the path of justice delivery system. As a society for varied reasons we have very limited understanding of use of forensic evidence and its impact on case outcomes. In a country like India sexual offences are quieten down, criminal masculinity lies in putting down women. It is ironically surprising that many times women are treated as living trophies of the entire family. They carry on their shoulder the heap of family honour and a single dent on the chastity of such women is considered as a dent to the entire family. In such situation more than an offence against her body where she should be having the ultimate say to report and cooperate in investigation, she is being pulled back by several social and psychological factors to surrender the battle in between. This research paper appreciates the role and effectiveness of using DNA technology in timely resolution of cases of sexual offence. It also examines the multi dimensional factors such as social, psychological constraints with victim and her family which discourages them to promptly report and cooperate in investigation of such offences. This paper also discusses other practical reasons lack of which DNA technology is not exhaustively used in investigation of sexual offences. At last, the study concludes with the required measures in making DNA Technology a practical instrument in investigation of sexual offences.

These days, the availability of image processing software, such as Adobe Photoshop or GIMP have made image manipulation so common. Detecting such fake images is unavoidable for unveiling of the image-based cybercrimes. An image taken by digital camera or smartphone is usually saved in the JPEG format due to its popularity. JPEG algorithm works on image grids, compressed independently, with a size of 8x8 pixels. While unmodified images, have a similar error level. For resaving operation, each block should degrade at around same rate due to similar amount of errors across the whole image. The compression ratio of this fake image is different from that of the original image and is detected using Error Level Analysis. The objective of our paper is to develop a photo forensics algorithm which can detect any photo manipulation. The error level analysis was then enhanced using vertical and horizontal histograms of error level analysis image to pinpoint the location of modification. Results show that the proposed algorithm could identify the modified image while showing the exact location of modifications.
