 Abstract

This article is related to a survey conducted among the Secondary Students of Kottayam districts. This study is conducted i) to find the difference in Thinking Skills with respect to a) Gender b) Locale of the school and c) Type of management of the school and ii) to study the difference in Interest in Learning with respect to a) Gender b) Locale of the school and c) Type of management of the school The study was conducted on a sample of 520 Secondary Students randomly selected from the secondary schools of Kottayam district. The tools used for the data collection are �Test on Thinking Skills� (TTS) and �Learning Interest Inventory� (LII) constructed and standardized by the investigators. The data were analysed using the descriptive statistical technique Mean, Standard Deviation, and the inferential statistical technique, test of significance of difference between means for large independent sample. The findings of the study are 1) There is significant difference between the means of scores on Thinking Skills a) of Male and Female students of secondary schools and b) of the students from Urban and Rural secondary schools. 2) There is no significant difference between the means of scores on Thinking Skills of the students from Government and Aided secondary schools. 3) There is significant difference between the means of scores on Interest in Learning a) of Male and Female students of secondary schools and b) of the students from Government and Aided secondary schools. 4) There is no significant difference in the means of scores on Interest in Learning between the students from Urban and Rural secondary schools.

Cr(III) form 2 : 1 complex with Schiff base ligand of 5-amino 1,2,3,4 thiatriazole and ortho-methoxybenzaldehyde. Kinetic parameters like order of reaction activation energy, apparent frequency factor and apparent entropy of activation of second stage of the decomposition of complex have been determined using graphical method of Freeman -Carroll and Doyl�s method as modified by Zsako using non-isothermal TG curve.

 Abstract

Anaemia in India is a severe public health problem among younger children of age 6- 59 months. In addition to increased morbidity and poor effects on physical well-being (weakness and/or fatigue), anaemia is linked by delayed cerebral and psychomotor growth and a higher risk of maternal mortality. The present study investigated the anaemia and associated risk factors among children aged 6 to 59 months belong to rural India. The study used data from the fourth round of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-IV), which was conducted during 2015�16. In the NFHS-IV survey, a total of 259,627 children under 5 were collected from India, out of which a total of 0.18 million rural children were analysed. The study used Stata/MP Version 14.1 for appropriate bivariate and multivariate statistical analysis. Overall, 60 percent of children aged 6�59 months had some degree of anaemia. The severity of anaemia among children show that had 28 percent had mild anaemia, 30 percent had moderate anaemia and 2 percent had severe anaemia. Among children, the prevalence of anaemia in major states was highest in Haryana (73%), followed by Jharkhand (72%) and Madhya Pradesh (70%) and was lowest in Manipur (23%) and Mizoram (25%). The adjusted odds ratio results show that age of the child, sex, meal diversity, mother�s BMI and anaemia status, antenatal visits, substance use pattern, education and wealth were significantly associated with anaemia status of the children.

 Abstract

Diarrhoeal disease is the second leading cause of death among children aged under 5 years of age, and is accountable for death toll of 0.5 million children every year globally. In 2015, deaths from diarrhoea in India, among children under five accounted for 10 percent (117,285) of all deaths among children below the age of five. Thus, the aim of the present study is to investigate the prevalence of diarrheal diseases and associated risk factors among under-five children in nine priority states of India. The study used data from the fourth round of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-IV), which was conducted during 2015�16. In the NFHS-IV survey, a total of 259,627 children under 5 were collected from India, out of which a total of 157,358 children from nine selected states were analysed. The study used Stata/MP Version 14.1 for appropriate bivariate and multivariate statistical analysis. The study has found that the 11 percent of children under age five years had diarrhoea in the two weeks before the survey: it was recorded highest in Uttarakhand (17%), followed by Uttar Pradesh (15%), and Bihar (10%). The prevalence of diarrhoea rises from 14 percent among children under age six months to 19 percent among those age 6-11 months, when complementary foods and other liquids are introduced. Prevalence remains high (16%) at age 12-23 months, which is the time when children begin to walk and are at increased risk of contamination from the environment. The results depicted in table shows that the age of the child, antenatal clinic visits, caste religion and WASH indicator were significantly associated with the risk of diarrhoea among children.

 Abstract

As per modern view more than 20000 species of spiders are identified and is classifies into 60 families. Out of that some are not dangerous. Whereas Sushruta describes 16 species of Luta whereas vagbhata says about 28 variety. Acharya vagbhat included this lutavisha under the keetavisha (insects) since it posses the features of insects. The doshaavasthaa of luta is pittakaphaadhika. That means pitta kapha lakshanas will be predominant.In spider poisoning pain, swelling and itching are the main symptoms. The spider bite are both poisonous and non poisonous. Venomous proves fatal in a week. Moderately poisonous would take more time to prove fatal. Whereas bite by mild poisonous brings death within a fortnight. Luta visha is included in keeta visha. In Ayurvedic granthas there are various Agadas mentioned that are used as prativisha (antidotes) to act on poison due to Luta visha.

 Abstract

Petroleum is the foremost and mainstay of modern civilization. It is one of the nature's rare and valuable creation. Its formation takes millions of years which insist proper utilization of the resource. In present scenario, fuel stations are operated manually which consist a controlling unit to perform various tasks. The present manual fuel stations consumes more time and requires substantial man power. Moreover, it is prone to malpractices and higher probability of human initiated errors. These limitations restrict installation of fuel stations in distant areas. The main aim of this paper is to deal with all stated problems by developing an automated petrol dispensing system using RFID technology. Such a system enables a user to use a RFID based prepaid card to access petrol at fuel stations. Whenever the user wants to fill the tank from the fuel dispenser, user has to enter the amount first and then place the RFID card near the RFID reader. The Arduino Uno manages to read the data from the RFID reader and perform action according to the customer requirements as well as the amount is deducted from the user's card. The RFID and Arduino Uno are used for improvement of present petrol dispensing system by reducing human work and providing an auto guided mechanism to carry out the tasks consecutively. These systems are highly reliable and conserves the time.

 Abstract

The organophosphorus insecticide, Nuvan is widely used in agricultural field and private industrial premises to control pests, easily accumulates in aquatic ecosystems and exerts toxic effects on aquatic animals. The study aimed to evaluate the acute toxicity (LC50) of Nuvan on Anabas testudineus. Anabas testudineus were exposed to different concentrations of nuvan ranging from 0.00025 ppm to 2.048 ppm with parallel untreated control. At the doses of 0.0005 ppm, 0.001 ppm, 0.002 ppm, and 0.004 ppm 40%, 50%, 70%, and 90% mortality of Anabas testudineus were observed within 96 hrs, respectively, whereas, 100% mortality was observed at doses above 0.008 ppm. Based on probit analysis, the LC50 value of diazinon for 96 hrs of exposure on Anabas testudineus was found as 0.001 ppm. During the exposure trial several behavioral alterations including restlessness, sudden and quick movements, loss of equilibrium, increased opercular activities and paralysis were observed in the fish. The present study demonstrated that Nuvan is highly toxic especially to Anabas testudineus and thus, indiscriminate use of this insecticide in the agriculture and industrial sectors should be strictly controlled.
