 Abstract

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common health problems among pregnant women and the reason for morbidity during pregnancy in worldwide. Occurrence of Gram-negative bacteria is more frequent and next to E.coli, Klebsiella spp. is a recurrently isolated organism causing UTI. Klebsiella pneumonia, Gram-negative, encapsulated, and nonmobile bacteria are bacteria that normally live in intestines and feces. They also have a high tendency to become antibiotic resistant. A total 183 samples having UTI obtained out of 300 samples from pregnant women, investigated for identification and characterization of the uropathogenic isolates. Klebsiella pneumoniae was obtained as the 2nd most bacterial pathogen having 12.5 % of occurrence. The identified pathogens were then screened for pathogenic factors namely haemolysin production, Mannose Resistant and Mannose sensitive Haemagglutination (MRHA, MSHA), Cell surface hydrophobicity and Serum resistance, biofilm formation, production of siderophores by recommended methods. Piperacillin/Tazobactam(P/T) and Norfloxacin (Nx) were found to be the most effective drug against Klebsiella spp. and biofilm production (65.2%) was observed as the most frequent pathogenic factor in Klebsiella spp.

 Abstract

This research has focused primarily on creating an IOT-based Prepaid Smart Metering System that would be ideal to alleviate some of the issues now existing in the conventional digital automated metering system in Eurasia. With its special ability to work with the Internet of Things (IoT), smart metres are a reliable system for tracking and real-time remote monitoring as well as an efficient system for running electricity. Thus, this design task is completed by evaluating the current functions and journals on the design of Smart Metering and making suggestions for a more advantageous future operation. The current system requires human workers to travel from home to home and block to block to read the electrical cadence for use in operation and invoicing.The goal of this idea is to use GSM to create a Smart Electricity cadence. This helps to recover the real-time cadence value over GSM and send it to visitors' cell phones, which can decrease fatal crimes. Additionally, this allows the power board to change the variable package pricing for a set period of time. The director can analyse the visitor power usage information and generate the report using online data. The prototype will be appropriate for introducing the guest billing system, gathering data on electricity usage from smart cadence, storing data in a centralised database, and producing reports

 Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: Badminton being an overhead sport requires scapular stability and coordinated motion at the shoulder complex. It has been proven that muscle imbalance due to the overuse leading to instability is a major factor leading to scapular dyskinesia (SD). Proximal muscle imbalance may lead to distal affection as well which may affect the hand grip strength. Hand grip strength is an indicator of the total body strength. The quality and amount of strength are specifically essential in heavy weight sports. Proximal stability before distal mobility" which simply refers to the fact that we must first have good mobility and strength along our core (mid-line structures along our spine) before we can maximize our extremity function (distal mobility). Objectives: Aims to find correlation between scapular dyskinesia and hand grip strength in elite badminton players. Methods: Study had begun with the presentation of synopsis to the ethical committee in PES MCOP. An approval was granted from the ethical committee various elite badminton courts were visited in and around the city.58 elite badminton players were selected on the basis of their inclusion and exclusion criteria . Lateral scapular slide test along with grip strength using handheld dynamometer was performed on the subjects and data analysis was done. Data entered and analysed. Results: There is significant correlation(p-value=0.195) between scapular dyskinesia and handgrip strength. Correlation Coefficient observed is -0.18 (t=-1.3117) which shows that there is correlation between scapular dyskinesia and hand grip strength. Method used is Pearson Correlation. Conclusion: The study concluded that there is significant correlation between scapular dyskinesia and hand grip strength which shows grip strength reduces with scapular dyskinesia.

 Abstract

Pain is one of the major features that disturb the regular activities of every individual at some point of time. Tennis Elbow or Snayugata Vata affecting Koorpara sandhi (Koorpara sandhi means elbow joint) is one such condition, where the major feature is pain. Effective treatment can definitely shorten the total span of painful symptoms and the patient would be able to perform daily routine activities without the suffering of pain. A 44-year-old female came to the outpatient department of our hospital with complaint of pain in right elbow and unable to perform day to day regular activities. She was given Nirgundipatra Upanaha (A mixture of Nirgundipatra, Saindhav lavana and Til oil were used for Local application and secured with bandage) once daily along with 2 Tablets of Trayodashang Guggulu 500mg each. The tablets were given twice daily, orally for a period of 21 days. Evaluation was noted on 0, 7, 14, 21 and 28th day. After 28th day, reduction in signs and symptoms like pain, tenderness, pricking sensation and improvement in functional activity was observed. The objective as well as subjective parameters were taken into consideration. Study implications can be stated as, due to increase in the patients of Tennis Elbow, an Ayurvedic treatment which is easy to perform, long lasting effect and non-invasive in nature will help the general public to lead pain free life.

 Abstract

Intellectual property rights refer to the property rights which are granted to an author or creator of a new invention or intangible asset. The concept of intellectual property was developed in the 18th century, with the first federal statute on patents being passed in 1790. Intellectual property rights are the legal protection granted to individuals who have invented something new or created something original that is capable of being physically reproduced or transmitted. The scope of intellectual property rights varies from country to country, but generally any form of expression that falls within the jurisdiction of copyright law and patent law is protected as intellectual property (see section 20(1)(b) of the Copyright Act 1957). More than other business models, e-commerce frequently involves the sale of goods and services that are dependent on IP and its licensing. Through e-commerce, you may exchange things like software, designs, training materials, systems, and more, with the IP serving as the major source of value. Because valuable commodities traded online must be safeguarded by technological security measures and IP laws, or entire firms risk being ruined by theft or piracy. This paper studies the history of IPR, Its types and role of IPR in e- commerce. The protection for any creative work such as music, text, software code, graphic design etc. cannot be revoked by anyone at all as it is not owned by anyone in particular. IP rights protect intellectual property in a wide variety of ways, covering protection of inventions and designs, protection for data and software, as well as protection for literary material like books and films. IP plays a role in facilitating smoother E-Commerce transactions.

 Abstract

The book Theory of International Politics without a doubt is a pillar in the field of international relations. Kenneth Waltz is considered as the founder of Neorealist theory or what is known "Structural Realism". His book was published at a time when Neo-liberalism was dominant. Indeed, he opened a huge debate in IR and challenged the consensus that prevailed at the time. The concepts of anarchy and power are at the center of Waltz's theory of international politics where he tried to explain how the structure of the international system is, and how this system affects the behavior of states, which they are considered as the main players in the international system. Thus, the current study's aim is to analyze and identify the main arguments and concepts of the book and the critics directed to it. To do so, in the first section, the intellectual background of the author and introduction to the book has been mentioned. Second, the arrangement of the chapters of the book is illustrated. Following are the main arguments and concepts of the book. Then critics directed to the book are presented, and finally, the conclusion is discussed
