Seroprevalence of Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies among Healthcare Workers | Chapter 3 | Medicine and Medical Research: New Perspectives Vol. 9

The state of Guanajuato in Mexico has a high prevalence of COVID-19 cases, significantly affecting healthcare workers due to their contact with infected patients. It was made a review of the literature on seroprevalence of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in healthcare workers, and it was found a significant association between seropositivity and the type of work unit, as well as community exposure, while training in the proper use of personal protective equipment demonstrated a preventive and protective effect against SARS-CoV-2. These findings highlight the importance of healthcare workers adequately protecting themselves both in their work environment and in the community, not only in Guanajuato state.

Seasonal Occurrence of Spotted Pod Borer (Maruca vitrata F.) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) in Indian Bean and Correlation with Meteorological Aspects | Chapter 7 | Current Research Progress in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 4

 

Aim: The present study aimed to highlight the population dynamics of spotted pod borer infesting Indian beans in relation to weather parameters.

Background: The indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides by legume growers necessitates the exploration of alternative, sustainable pest management strategies. To develop such strategies, it is inevitable to understand the pest population and its dynamics.

Methodology: The study was conducted at a College farm at Navsari Agricultural University during Rabi of 2022-23 and 2023-24. 50 plants were randomly selected from the net plot area. The observations on the number of larvae per plant and per cent pod damage were counted. The weekly mean observation made on insect pests was subjected to Pearson’s correlation coefficient analysis. Also, correlation analysis was conducted for the data of per cent pod damage with weather parameters.

Results: The larval population, in the year 2022-23 started from 51st SMW. The peak activity was observed in the 4th SMW when 6.46 larvae/plant population was recorded which coincided with the peak flowering stage. During the second season (the year 2023-24) also, the pest population started from 51st SMW with a pest population of 0.8 larvae/plant. The peak pest population was observed on the 4th SMW with 6.84 larvae/plant. The pod damage started from the 2nd SMW with 10.05 per cent and gradually increased. The peak was recorded in the 12th SMW, highest pod damage was observed at 55.89 per cent. Similar to the previous year, the pod damage was recorded from the 2nd SMW with 11.67 per cent, and the peak was seen in the 8th SMW with 56.63 per cent damage. The correlation of a number of larvae per plant with maximum (r=-0.63), minimum (r=-0.62), average temperature (r=-0.74), and average vapour pressure (r=-0.59) showed a significantly negative correlation. During the years 2023-24, minimum (r=-0.637) and average temperature (r=-0.610) showed a significant negative correlation. In the case of pod damage, it was revealed that maximum temperature (r=0.58) and bright sunshine hours (BSSH) (r=0.59) exhibited a significant positive correlation with pod damage per cent, in the year 2022-23. A similar trend was seen in years 2023-24 where maximum temperature (r=0.692) and BSSH (r=0.787) showed a significant positive correlation.

Conclusion: Temperature and to some extent vapour pressure play a significant role in the population fluctuation of spotted pod borer in Indian beans. The correlation of per cent pod damage to the weather parameters suggested that maximum temperature had a significant negative effect, while, bright sunshine hours had a significant positive effect. This knowledge will enable the farmers to keep track of the said pest according to the changing climate.

Population Dynamics of Mistletoes: Case Study on Golden Shower (Cassia fistula L.) in Purwodadi Botanic Garden, Indonesia | Chapter 2 | Contemporary Research and Perspectives in Biological Science Vol. 6

Background: There were about 1600 species of mistletoes throughout the world except Antarctica. Loranthaceae is the most dominant family and has the most species of mistletoe in tropical zones.

Aims: The aim of the study is to document the population distribution and dynamic of mistletoe species within this study site and to uncover their diversity in C. fistula in Purwodadi Botanic Garden, Indonesia.

Place and Duration of Study: Research was conducted in Purwodadi Botanic Garden during 2012- 2019.

Methodology: An explorative and descriptive study design was adopted. Data of mistletoes species and hosts, number of parasites, plant height, and stem diameter at 120 cm of DBH was collected by direct observation in determined blocks, where the mistletoes and C. fistula were found. Binocular was used to observe and count the mistletoes on the hosts. Infested host prevalence was counted by the proportion of the number of the infested host by mistletoes and the total number of hosts, while parasite density shows the proportion of parasite number (individual) and the total number of hosts.

Results: The population of mistletoe Dendrophthoe pentandra and Viscum articulatum in Cassia fistula varied by year and environment of habitat. The density of D. pentandra and V. articulatum has increased since 2012 and reached the highest density in 2015. The density of D. pentandra in the blocks differs significantly. V. articulatum is a hyperparasite mistletoe only found as a parasite on D. pentandara in C. fistula.

Conclusion: There were two mistletoes parasitized Cassia fistula in Purwodadi Botanic Garden during 2012-2019, i.e. Dendrophthoe pentandra and Viscum articulatum. The infestation and density of mistletoes on their hosts are dynamic in a community. The parasite density tend to increase from 2012 until 2015 and then decline to the lowest in 2019. The highest declining population due to mortality of mistletoes occurred in 2019 after 2015.

Social, Cultural and Educational Evolution of Kaibarta Community in Assam | Chapter 4 | Current Progress in Arts and Social Studies Research Vol. 8

Assam is one of the old states of India. This region marked by significant ethnic diversity, has historically encompassed a blend of tribal and non-tribal communities, contributing to a complex social landscape. It is to be noted that the non-tribal category is included into three major groups such as the General Caste, the Scheduled Castes (SC) and the Other Backward Classes (OBC). There are sixteen SC, twenty seven Scheduled Tribes (ST) and twenty nine OBC communities listed in Assam. The people of all communities are peace loving and are focused on maintaining social peace and harmony in the region. They have moved away more or less from their traditional social lifestyle. The members of the Kaibarta community play a very important role in the overall development of Assam. The traditional culture and heritage of the Kaibarta community are rich and significant. The present study is an attempt to discuss the social, cultural and educational Evolution of the Kaibarta community in Assam. The secondary data were collected from both government and non-government publications. In order to achieve the objective of the present study, the descriptive research method was used in this work. The findings revealed that in spite of having a huge potential for development, most of the people of the Kaibarta community have remained backward even after seventy-three years of independence of the country. By now it is almost clear that the Kaibarta community in the state is faced with different social, cultural, and economic problems for development.

Effect of Plant Density and Planting Dates on Pigeonpea Blister Beetles (Mylabris pustulata Thunberg; Coleoptera: Meloidae) Population in Southeastern, Nigeria | Chapter 3 | Current Research Progress in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 9

There are limited documents recorded on the population of Mylabris pustulata at varying plant densities of improved pigeonpea in the rainforest agro-ecological region of Southeastern Nigeria. There is limited documentation on the optimal planting time during which the population of M. pustulata is minimal. The early maturing pigeonpea cultivar (ICPL 84023) was evaluated to ascertain the extent of protection to which plant densities and dates of planting will have on the population of blister beetles (Mylabris pustulata Thunberg (Coleoptera: Meloidae). A field trial was carried out at the Postgraduate Teaching and Research Farm, Department of Crop Science and Technology, Federal University of Technology, Owerri Imo State in April, July and October 2009 and repeated in 2010. The experiment was laid out in a 3 x 4 factorial and treatments consisted of four plant populations namely: 190,474 plants ha^-1, 125,000 plants ha^-1, and 80,000 plants ha^-1, 55,556 plants ha^-1 with three planting dates, April, July, and October. All data collected were subjected to analysis of variance using Genstat Discovery Edition 3 (2009). The result showed a high population of M. pustulata at higher plant densities than at lower plant densities. Also, the April planting season recorded a very high population of M. pustulata on the pigeonpea while there was an absence of the blister beetles during the July and October planting seasons. The absence of M. pustulata on pigeonpea flowers during the July and October planting seasons indicated that sowing time is an important factor influencing the population of M. pustulata. Appropriate plant density and time of sowing may be an important integrated management of the M. pustulata population in this locality. Based on the findings, low-density planting in July is recommended to reduce the pest population and optimize the yield of pigeonpea.

Evaluation of Policy-based Initiatives' Impact on Indian Tribal Populations: Current Circumstances and Potential for Development | Chapter 1 | An Overview of Literature, Language and Education Research Vol. 10

Anomalies, complications and difficulties at policy, planning, implementation, administration levels, allied problems with both the educational and healthcare systems, content, curriculum, medium of instruction, pedagogy, supervision, monitoring, teacher/colleague interaction related hitches, social, economic, and cultural issues are some of the reasons why tribal communities continue to lag behind the general population in health and education. To address various issues along with other allied variables, several social and government programmes have been witnessed over time to improve the general living standard of tribes in India. National and International scholarship schemes for higher education of ST Students, Pre-Matric Scholarship Schemes and Post-Matric Scholarship (PMS) Schemes are among them. The government of India also has achieved a number of milestones in the area of tribal health by launching various schemes and devising different portals such as National Tribal Health Portal, The Sickle Cell Disease Support (SCD) Corner; ALEKH: A Learning Endeavour for Knowledge in Healthcare and, The Tribal Health Compendium etc. The fact that just launching programmes and schemes is not a panacea for the scourge of illiteracy among tribal masses. The benefits of these programmes have only recently reached them. The tribal population's lack of awareness of these plans, the distinctive character of their houses, and administrative officials' disinterest in implementing these schemes and programmes are barriers to ST education and health.

The Genetic Diversity of Triturus vittatus vittatus (Synonym Ommatotriton vittatus) Along the Southern Border of its Distribution | Chapter 6 | Advanced Research in Biological Science Vol. 2

 The aim concerning this chapter is to interrogate the genetic diversity of Triturus vittatus vittatus (analogue Ommatotriton vittatus). This salamander species is in the direction of different breeding sites during the whole of the southern border of its classification. Two mitochondrial DNA markers, 12S and 16S, and the nuclear rhodopsin deoxyribonucleic acid (RHO) were used to examine the genetic differences in this species. AMOVA reasoning was conducted to investigate the classification of the variation and differential relatedness among populations, domains, and populations within domains. This analysis of the 163-bp RHO DNA sequence acted not reveal any important genetic variation with the different populations in the miscellaneous habitats according to discovery of population differentiation. In contrast, contrasting of 12S rRNA (357 bp) and 16S rRNA (521 bp) revealed high variation between the regions for the different public. AMOVA showed high unlikeness between the breeding sites of newts at the pertaining to the south border of their distribution.

Weekly Variations of Intracerebral Hemorrhage Occurrence among Different Populations in Southwest China | Chapter 10 | Research Highlights in Disease and Health Research Vol. 6

 The causes of an increase in intracerebral bleed (ICH) on a given epoch are uncertain. Previous research has found that it changes by region and public. In this study, a total of 5038 patients accompanying first-onset ICH were registered to detect weekly differences in ICH occurrence in southwest China and to evaluate differences in ICH incident among various populations. We discovered that the repetitiveness of ICH in southwest China varies on a newspaper basis and is very influenced by determinants like sex, age, comorbidities, lifestyle, and place of residence or business where one can be contacted. This shows that regional and people factors grant permission affect newspaper fluctuations in the incidence of ICH.

A Model of Medical Care around the World| Book Publisher International

 

The fact that further than 40 million people have no health insurance in the United States( US) and 36 of 57 countries don't meet introductory norms for healthcare in Africa is well known. Although the health sector has significant impact on global frugality both as an employer and a provider of goods and services, nevertheless, the major limiting factor to ameliorate health issues is attributed to lack of perpetration capacity. Accordingly, grounded on in- depth literature review and endured scripts, this paper provides a kind of guidance by pressing diversity and walls in design process of a model of medical care. The results show political commitment and high insurance content are the foundation of any effective response to successful health system challenge. still, given the applicability of the need to wide the assignments learned from this handwriting to the world population and to different institutions around the world, we supposed it necessary to restate this exploration into seven different languages which include English, French, Russian, Arabic, Indian, Japanese and Chinese.

Association between Human Genome with Clinical Outcome | Chapter 8 | Innovations in Microbiology and Biotechnology Vol. 6

There have been many fascinating new innovations in genetics as a result of the successes of the Human Genome Project and subsequent advances in genotyping. The genetics field has been compelled to consider on a genome-wide scale by genome-wide association studies, which have discovered novel genetic risk factors for many prevalent human illnesses. Looking ahead, it is clear that the present advances in genome-wide association studies will alter when new methods for identifying genetic susceptibilities that result in features specific to a familial trait are developed. Since the human genome is now able to provide complete and accurate information data that allows access to specific DNA groupings to analyse clinical queries, innovation has given researchers a comprehensive understanding of human genomes. The methods used to examine the use of genome-wide association studies with population-based legal analyses have been improved. Related techniques from genome wide association studies have also been incorporated into standard therapeutic practise.

Fatality of Cases by New Coronavirus Disease (COVID 19): A Case Study in the Mexican State of Guanajuato | Chapter 04 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 9

 The goal of this research is to explain the COVID-19 pandemic and report on fatalities in the Mexican state of Guanajuato until October 2, 2020.

The National Epidemiological Surveillance System Database from Mexico was used for this study. Age, sex, comorbidities (diabetes, COPD, asthma, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, immunosuppression, chronic renal disease, obesity, and smoking), date of death, and real-time reverse transcription polymerase test results were all collected. In statistical analysis, the Case Fatality Ratio, Chi-squared test, and P-value were used to show relationships between variables. The impact of comorbidities on death from COVID-19 was demonstrated using the odds ratio and 95 percent confidence intervals. The statistical relationships were also determined using a Bayesian network model. risk factors, comorbidities, and mortality There were 100,109 suspected cases, with 41.69 percent of them testing positive for SARS-CoV-2. COVID-19 discovered that being over 60 and male had a higher risk of death. In Guanajuato State, 1,457 fatalities (48.68 percent) happened in the Mexican Institute of Social Security, with a case fatality ratio of 15.63 percent; meanwhile, 1,260 deaths (42.10 percent) occurred in the Ministry of Health, with a case fatality ratio of 4.14 percent. Diabetes (OR 5.16, CI95 percent 4.77–5.59), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR 6.34, CI95 percent 5.37–7.49), immunosuppression (OR 2.85, CI95 percent 2.17–3.76), cardiovascular disease (OR 4.20, CI95 percent 3.51–5.02), hypertension (OR 4.74, CI95 percent 4.39–5.11), chronic kidney disease (OR 6.27, CI95 percent 5.30–7.42), COVID-19 has an influence on death.

Age and sex were the two most important risk variables for mortality among COVID-19 patients in Guanajuato. Diabetes, COPD, immunosuppression, cardiovascular disease, chronic renal disease, obesity, and smoking, on the other hand, are all variables that increase the chance of mortality. On the other hand, comorbidities and risk factors are strongly linked. SARS-CoV-2 disease lethality is unaffected by HIV/AIDS, however asthma appears to be protective.

Cancer Scenario in India: A Brief Study | Chapter 16 | Emerging Trends in Disease and Health Research Vol. 3

 The goal of this study is to raise awareness among the government and the general public about the rising prevalence and danger of cancer.

In India, the incidence of cancer has increased dramatically during the last several decades. Cervix and Breast Cancer are the most common malignancies in women, whereas Head Neck and Lung Cancer are the most common cancers in men. The main cause of lack of awareness, which leads to presentation at an advanced or metastatic stage, is poverty and illiteracy. At any given time, there are a total of 2.25 million instances. The death rate is likewise extremely high. The country has a wide range of financial, religious, and demographic differences. In 1960, more than 80% of the people lived in rural areas, but currently just 60% do. Cancer has become more common as a result of urbanisation. Hinduism is practised by 80 percent of the people, whereas Islam is practised by 16 percent. Multiple marriages and high parity are typical among Muslims, resulting in a high risk of cervical cancer. Cancer is highly common in the country's North East area, owing to tobacco usage and home firewood burning. Due to a diet saturated in salt and spices, the incidence of stomach cancer is high in South India. Because of the widespread use of pesticides and a high-fat diet, the prevalence of cancers of the oesophagus, gallbladder, and breast is high in the Malwa region of Punjab. Because of the tobacco chewing habit, the incidence of oral cancer is particularly high in the states of UP, Bihar, and MP. Overcrowding has resulted in a scarcity of treatment facilities. Overcrowding has resulted in a scarcity of diagnostic and treatment facilities, which are also limited to urban regions. The biggest reason for late diagnosis and effective treatment is a lack of funds. Patient aid programmes have been established by the government, and the future looks bright.

Clinical Picture of SARS-Cov-2 Infection in Children in Guanajuato State, Mexico: A Recent Study | Chapter 12 | Issues and Development in Health Research Vol. 7

 The goal of this study was to compare the signs and symptoms of COVID-19 with those of another respiratory virus in children.

Coronaviruses are members of the Coronaviridae family of the Nidovirales order. This virus proliferated faster in human airway epithelial cells than in tissue culture cells, indicating that it has a higher infectivity potential.

Research Design: Data from the General Directorate of Epidemiology's National Epidemiological Surveillance System were used to create a cross-sectional study. Place and Time of Study: From March to July 2020, all registrations in the database of confirmed and discarded COVID-19 cases from Guanajuato State, Mexico were examined.

A confirmed case was defined as someone who had fever, cough, and dyspnea, had travelled to a pandemic-affected nation or had contact with a confirmed case, and had a positive rRT-PCR test for SARS-CoV-2. The cases that were discarded had a negative rRT-PCR test. Clinical data was compared with Z for two proportions and P-value among individuals under the age of 18, of confirmed and rejected cases in the state of Guanajuato.

The sample includes 446 confirmed cases and 2,134 instances that were discarded. The average age of those confirmed was 9.60 5.46 years, while the average age of those excluded was 8.01 5.39 years (P.05). Males outnumbered females in both groups (P =.91). There are statistically significant differences between confirmed and rejected cases in fever, myalgia, arthralgia, and conjunctivitis (P.05).

Conclusion: The signs and symptoms of COVID-19 and another respiratory virus are identical. COVID-19's characteristics are similar to those of other viral infections, thus the diagnosis cannot be made solely on the basis of signs and symptoms.

A Study of the Weather Variability Influence on Occurrence and Damages of Mononychellus tanajoa Bonder (Acarina: Tetranychidae) on Selected Cassava Varieties in the Lake Zone, Tanzania | Chapter 9 | Cutting-edge Research in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 13

During the dry seasons of 2015 and 2016, a study was undertaken in Tanzania's Lake Zone, which is the country's main cassava producer. Its goal was to determine the impact of weather variables on the incidence of Cassava green mites (CGM), Mononychellus tanajoa, on regularly produced cassava types and the damages they inflict. Cassava is a staple food for 200 million Africans living in poverty, as well as a significant source of employment and revenue, particularly for small and medium-sized businesses. The studies were set up in a Split plot design, with subplots representing varieties and main plots representing localities. Ukiruguru, Ng'ombe, and Kishiri were the three places, with the first two in Misungwi and the third in Kwimba districts. The natural occurrence of M. tanajoa infestation was allowed. In both years, the population of mites and the amount of damage caused by them differed significantly (P0.05) among cultivars, data collecting dates, and locations. In general, the highest population of M. tanajoa was found in Kwimba in 2015 and Ukiruguru in 2016, while the lowest was found in N'gombe in both years. Both seasons, Ukiriguru had the highest root yield. The most susceptible kinds in both years were Liongo Kwimba and Naliendele, whereas Suma and Kyaka were reported to have tolerated/resisted the pest. In all seasons, rainfall, relative humidity, and temperature all played a role in M. tanajoa's survival, propagation, and harm.

Studies on Some Issues Specific to Demography during COVID-19 Pandemic | Chapter 1 | Issues and Development in Health Research Vol. 3

 The COVID-19 (coronavirus disease) pandemic, which is caused by the RNA virus SARS-CoV-2, has resulted in the world's worst health disaster in recent history. The epidemic is not only putting a strain on the healthcare system, but it is also producing significant changes in the population's demographic structure and a loss of human capital. The goal of this paper is to look at the demographic aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the massive potential consequences it could have on demography and human capital formation in the coming years. Pandemics such as COVID-19 represent a substantial threat to the development and preservation of human capital, causing drastic changes in population structures and disrupting the demographic transition of populations in many countries around the world. The pandemic's observed demographic changes, as well as changes in population age structure (where certain cohorts are more severely affected), have potentially increased the dependent population whose overall development is hampered by restrictions imposed on their freedom and lifestyle, which can result in a significant and stringent loss of their ability to productively work. People in the skilled working age groups are also dying prematurely as a result of recent mutations discovered in 2021. The resulting interruption of the human capital formation process could have serious multi-dimensional and intergenerational consequences. COVID-19's effects on demography and human capital formation, as well as the development of healthcare facilities, can be long-lasting, therefore careful planning in these areas is essential.

Rate of Death in Fatal Diseases and Lymphocyte Reproductive Activity Normalized to Numbers of Hematopoietic Stem Cells in Blood | Chapter 3 | New Visions in Biological Science Vol. 1

 The goal of this study was to see how distinct reductions in lymphocytopoietic state affect the viability of patients with malignant and non-malignant pathologies, with the expectation of similar outcomes based on widely recognised immune defence theory. The changes in death rates in the adult population between the ages of + (55-62) years are opposite for malignant and non-malignant diseases, indicating a lack of protumor activity as well as the common morphogenic activity of lymphopoiesis due to its physiological weakening rather than the widely held belief that enhancing antitumor immunity is the cause. Flow cytometry was used to investigate the numbers of CD133+ and CD31+ lymphocytes, as well as those in the G2-M phases, in the total fraction of circulating lymphocytes from patients with fatal liver cirrhosis and advanced lung cancer over a long period of conventional treatment with OLT or palliative surgery followed by myelosuppressive chemotherapy. The link between specific reproductive activity, or sRA (G2-M/CD133+), and the number of committed liver a-fetoprotein-positive (AFP+) cells, as measured by exponential approximation survival curves for both diseases, was studied. Patients with abnormal sRA after OLT and LC patients with excessive sRA above a healthy level had greater death rates and shorter survival times, which coincided with significant immunosuppression produced by anti-rejection and anti-cancer therapy. Rather than cellular immunity, these findings could be explained by the morphogenesis (feeding) activity of circulating lymphocytes directed at both normal and malignant tissues. The variations in sRA could be a useful biomarker for tracking engraftment or tumour growth.

Study on Mobile Technology, Social Media and 180 Million People | Chapter 3 | Insights into Economics and Management Vol. 10

 In the last 30 years, developed economies around the world have used information technology (IT) in many aspects of life, particularly to promote efficiency in businesses and to strengthen ties between the company and its internal and external stakeholders. Despite the fact that technology has been integrated into everyday life in established economies all over the world, particularly in the way they For a variety of reasons, little can be said about the advancement of such new technologies in developing countries. Poverty, insufficient facilities, poor Internet penetration, high energy costs, corruption, and an unpredictable political system have all contributed to the low adoption and use of IT in developing countries thus far. However, the pattern appears to be changing since the mid-2000s. Internet use has increased as a result of the increased use of smart phones, making it more accessible to a mostly young and educated population in recent years.

The Population Dynamics of the Luangwa (Zambia) Common Hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) during the Period 1952 – 2015 | Chapter 5 | International Research in Environment, Geography and Earth Science Vol. 9

 The population size of hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius Linnaeus 1758) in Zambia's Luangwa valley was previously assessed for the period 1976-2008 and repeated 2009-2015, and it was discovered to have reached and maintained a carrying capacity K of 6000 individuals over a 165 km river stretch. The riverbank count method, as used in previous studies, was used in this study, which spanned the years 2009 to 2015. In 1976, a 165-kilometer stretch of land was set aside for intensive population monitoring using the same survey methods. The results of this monitoring revealed that the population experienced high densities of up to 42 hippopotami/km between 1976 and 2008. The method entailed counting individuals and locating hippopotamus schools using GPS. During the period 2009-2015, the population oscillated in irregular cycles above and below K of 6000, remaining within the carrying capacity band of 3000 people are involved. The highest population size was 7,862 hippopotami with a density of 48/km in 2015, and the lowest population size was 4501 hippopotami with a density of 27/km in 1978. Between 1976 and 2008, and 2009 and 2015, the population fluctuated between 5000 and 8000 people, indicating that the population had reached its asymptote. Plot of population size from 1976 to 2015 using a population model that was a hybrid of less accurate regulation and a stable limit cycle. Environmental resistance was blamed for the slowing of population growth at K and the oscillations. More research is needed to determine the impact of climate change on population size and density fluctuations in order to determine whether K will rise or fall.

Statistical Study on Food Grains Demand and Supply in India | Chapter 4 | New Perspectives in Agriculture and Crop Science Vol. 3

 In India, agricultural development policies have been aimed at reducing hunger, food insecurity, malnutrition and poverty at a rapid rate since independence in 1947. India accounts for 17% of the world's population, with a population of 1.11 million. In terms of customers, its population is always greater than the average size of other nations, with the exception of China. India's state of food shortage and malnutrition is of great importance to the global situation. In this present analysis, the predicted population and development of food grains are investigated using the ARIMA model and forecast decision-making. The projection of demand is also calculated using the near-ideal demand method (AIDS). This paper presents the status of demand-supply gaps. Total food grain production is projected to rise by 281.12 Mt in 2020, and the population will be 1345 million. Demand-supply scenarios currently present an alarming situation, especially in the case of pulses. The demand-supply difference for pulses is going to be more adverse, affecting our food and nutritional protection considerably. The demand for pulses will be 22.92 Mt in 2020, while the supply of pulses will be 19.68 Mt in that year. It is therefore reported that the demand-supply difference of pulses is negative. In order to boost technology, the improved process minimises the demand-supply gap in India for pulses.

Lakes: The Heritage of Bengaluru through Bird’s Eye: Scientific Perspective | Chapter 11 | International Research in Environment, Geography and Earth Science Vol.3

 In the Deccan Platue, Bengaluru is an important Cosmo Metropolitan city comprised of more than ten

million of human population. The city is located at an average elevation of about 900 Meters from
these a level with highly undulating terrain of upper profile good red soil. Due to this character, the
areas under occupied township have large number of manmade tanks primarily constructed for the
purpose of agriculture/horticulture irrigation and drinking up to twentieth century. The tanks are
scattered in series of clusters linked to each other through gradient channels in that cluster. All the
tanks in the city are the part of either of Hebbal valley or Rishbhavathi valley or Kormangla-Chelghatta
valley. The constructions of tanks in the city have a long history and goes back even to Ganga
Dynasty (350 to 1000 AD), Bellanduru tank was constructed in that period. There were 845 tanks in
Bangalore Urban district. The tanks in Bengaluru are the Heritage of the city and caused to call “City
of lakes”. Most of the tanks are polluted and unfit for human use. There are infrastructures created to
treat about 1068 MLD sewage in the city. Reuse of secondary treated water is one of the most difficult
tasks before the Authorities. Treated water from STPs of Koramangla-Chelghatta valley is being used
to fill the tanks of Kolar district. Fifty-one tanks of 4.25 TMC treated water are filled till the last repot.
About 4535.21 acres of tank beds are encroached. This article covers the essence of research works
done in last thirty-four years.
