Abstract: India has achieved self-sufficiency in foodgrains production, but the accessibility to food by the poor has been a major problem. The mere availability of food with government agencies is of little use if it is not accessible by the poor and those who need it most. The accessibility to the PDS foodgrains depends on both demand and supply-side factors. Perception and awareness at the household level play a crucial role in asserting their demand for their entitlement. Well aware and informed households bargain effectively with Fair Price Shops (FPS) dealers, assert their demand, and not let their PDS quota without purchase. Awareness among the households is low in the district, and households get confused about prices, quantity, and commodities. The PDS dealers have been the main source of confusion for the cardholders. The use of technology in the PDS may lower corruption and improve PDS functioning, but it created some hurdles for the cardholders and some points of times become the source of exclusion for the households. Aadhaar Based Biometric Authentication through the �Point of Scale� (PoS) machine created many hurdles for the beneficiaries. An alternative system to the PoS machine should be there to authenticate the beneficiaries. The government agencies and the NGOs should come forward to create mass level awareness among the cardholders to curve out the leakages and every form of corruption from the PDS.

 Abstract

Indonesia is a country that is classified as just starting the era of independent space flight research, especially in the development of rocketry. One of the obstacles to the development of rocket technology in Indonesia is the limited funds and the high cost of rocket fuel. The purpose of this scientific work is to produce alternative space rocket fuels that have a strong but economical thrust for rocket technology produced from used cooking oil and rice straw - one of the biggest waste. Used cooking oil contains glycerides which have a long carbon chain, namely esters between glycerol and carboxylic acids which can be used as alternative fuels for rockets. In the use of used cooking oil as a rocket propellant in solid form which tends to be more practical in its manufacture and use, it is necessary to use the oil binding media which is flammable in order to increase the effectiveness of the propellant namely cellulose. In this study used cooking oil is obtained through accumulation of household waste. Then carried out two stages of testing, namely the fuel production test phase to determine the potential of raw materials namely used cooking oil and rice straw as alternative space rocket fuel, the variables seen in this test are ease of production and fuel safety and static tests carried out to determine the magnitude of the power propellant seen from thrust and thrust-weight ratio of rocket fuel tested. Obtained the value of thrust and the highest thrust-weight ratio obtained on the R9 engine, respectively 187.37 - 471.10 Kg and 176.30 - 440.61 for the thrust-weight ratio. The results of the two stages of testing show that the combination of used cooking oil, rice straw and liquid oxygen as an oxidizer can be used as alternative rocket fuels which are relatively safe, economical, and high thrust power.

 Abstract

Health is one of the most essential and most important factors of human life. At times, we cannot really pay price for good health. These days, we come across many people who have been and are experiencing kidney stones, and as a result, they experience excruciating pain. It is really hard to delineate about the pain when one experiences kidney stones. It is very difficult, indeed to even sit or take any comfortable posture while experiencing or going through such situation. Kidney stones are crystallized foreign bodies, soft to touch, and are formed in the urinary tract or in the kidneys. The shape of kidney stones is always crystallized and we can easily crush them into soft mud when they are outside of human body. These tiny objects are foreign objects that generate severe pain and discomfort, and in simple terms, human body does not accept any foreign elements or objects entering into physical body or being formed in the body. It immediately reacts through the channel of pain, which is excruciating. Kidney stones are basically calcium oxalates deposits and are present in most of the adult population in the world today. These crystallized deposits keep forming again and again. One of the puzzling questions can be as to why these stones keep forming only within the kidneys. Human body is a complex machine. On a daily basis, we ingest and consume some quantity of food and liquids. The human body is at work and starts the process of digestion, then, the food is broken into small particles and into bits and pieces into almost liquid form. It then transfers to different organs and next, some of the solid mass is converted into energy, some into blood and so on. The remaining food material, which is not necessary or needed for the body is then considered waste, and thus, is thrown out of the body in the form of liquidation or feces. This is basically the function of human body, and during this process, one must take care to drink plenty of liquids in order for the flushing system to drive away waste material out of the body. In other words, one must maintain good hydration levels in order to avoid these waste materials to remain within the system. Stone formation is like, for example, one wishes to drink Horlicks or chocolate drink, then, he or she takes a hot cup of milk and mixes coco powder, and if he fails to mix the powder well, then, that powder turns into tiney stone deposits and will remain in the milk. In other words, the chocolate drink is not prepared well. Equivalently, one must not give scope for the mineral deposits to be formed, and thus, one can save oneself from these kidney stones. The objective and purpose of my study is to showcase that it is possible to treat and eliminate kidney stones naturally with the use of natural methods.

 Abstract

Dengue is one of the commonest arboviral diseases worldwide. More than half a million cases of DHF occur each year with at least 12,000 deaths. Patients have a triad of symptoms: i) Haemorrhagic manifestations ii) Evidence of plasma leakage iii) Platelet count < 1 lakh/?l Respiratory complications occur in severe stages of DHF and DSS when dengue virus antigen is found in alveolar lining cells of lungs that causes an increased permeability of alveolar capillary membrane and results in ARDS. Such severe cases might result hemoconcentration and hypoalbuminemia, leading to the detection of pleural effusions and ascites. Thoracic manifestations such as pleural effusion, pneumonia, pulmonary haemorrhage and haemoptysis, and ARDS can be seen.

 Abstract

Fast dissolving drug-conveyance system were first developed during the 1970s as an option for the tablets, containers, and syrups for pediatric and geriatric patients who experience inconveniences consume solid dosage form. Fast dissolving films have become a novel way to deal with oral drug delivery conveyance system as it gives comfort and convenience oral dosage forms, for example, orally disintegrating tablets, buccal tablets, and sublingual tablets, so mouth dissolving films are picking up the interest of countless pharmaceuticals industries. Mouth dissolving films are thin solid dosage forms which, when place in the oral cavity, dissolve inside a couple of moments without biting and administration of water. The oral, buccal mucosa being profoundly vascularized, the drug can retain directly and can enter the systemic circulations without going through first-pass hepatic metabolism. This advantage can be used to improved oral bioavailability of molecules that go through first-pass impact. These oral film offer a helpful method of dosing drug pediatric, geriatric, and bedridden patients. The sublingual and buccal conveyance of a drug by means of fast dissolving film can possibly improve the onset of action, lower down the dosing, and inprove the efficacy and safety profile of medicament. An ideal film ought to have properties like pleasent taste, high stability, and simplicity of taking care of. The current review gives a record of different plan techniques and their assessment utilized in film details and uses of mouth dissolving films.

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the normal pace of life and no person is immune to its effects. But the world is running a race to find the cure for it. This pandemic is a challenge for consumers, companies and governments. But COVID-19 is not the only problem that hampered our lives this year. The climate crisis took a toll on us as too. Unlike COVID-19, the climate crisis does not have a cure, until and unless we change our ways of life. This paper is a viewpoint on how we have steered clear of the climate crisis and diverted our focus completely towards the pandemic.

 Abstract

The study was conducted to evaluate the role of extradural volume on intrathecally administered local anaesthetic agent. Aim of study: To find out the quality and extent of block with intrathecal bupivacaine by adding epidural normal saline as compared with extradural bupivacaine. Patients & Methods: The study was conducted on ninety adult patients undergoing infra umbilical surgery. Group A ( n = 30 ) received 2ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine intrathecally. Group B ( n = 30 ) received 2ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine intrathecally along with 10ml normal saline epidurally. Group C ( n = 30 ) received 2ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine intrathecally along with 10ml 0.5% isobaric bupivacaine epidurally. The extent and duration of block were noted along with the incidence of side effects. Results: The level of block achieved in Group A (T 9 � T 10 ) < Group B (T 7 � T 8 ) < Group C (T 4 � T 5 ). The level of sensory block regressed by two segments within 30 minutes in most of the patients in Group B, while it persisted for more than 120 minutes in all patients of Group C. Incidence of side effects was similar in all groups. Conclusion: Extradural volume only, in the form of normal saline, may be successful in increasing the extent of intrathecal block. However, it may not be adequate to allow lengthy surgery with low dose intrathecal local anaesthetic agent.
