Triple Security in Cloud Computing
The word Cloud stands for Common Location & Independent Online Utility as per demand. It is the growing technology in today?s IT industries. Companies like Google, Amazon, Microsoft either small or large scale industries needed cloud technology as it is providing virtualized environment which omits the need for physical storage. Cloud Computing is type of computing which relies on sharing computing resources instead of having local servers to handle applications. As this is Internet based technology, here data security becomes major issue for cloud data. In this paper we introduce a mechanism for providing secure data using three algorithms DSA, DES and Steganography
Analysis of molecular diversity in okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) genotypes using RAPD markers
Okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench] genotypes were sown during kharif 2011-12 at Horticultural Research Centre, Department of Horticulture, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology, Meerut, India, developed and maintained for using conventional agronomically practices to keep the crop in good condition. Study of morphological and molecular diversity in landrace collections was carried out during 2011-12. Germplasm collections of all the 20 diverse genotypes of okra were screened with 20 RAPD primers in order to determine genetic identities, genetic diversity and genetic relationships. On the basis of molecular characterization, the number of amplified alleles observed ranged from minimum 2 alleles to maximum 9 alleles. Similarity value for all the 20 genotypes of okra ranged from 0.486 to 0.669. The lowest similarity was displayed by Azad bhindi1 (AB 1) and VRO5 with the similarity coefficient value 0.486. Out of these samples analyzed, genotypes Azad Bhindi 2 and FB 10 displayed the greatest genetic similarity, with a similarity coefficient value of 0.669. All genotypes were distributed into four main distinct clusters. Cluster analysis clearly showed the genetic diversity among the genotypes under study
Improving Communication Between Health Care Professionals and Parents: A Quality Improvement Initiative
This quality improvement initiative was undertaken in a tertiary care neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to improve communication between the HCP and parents related to the sick neonates admitted in NICU as measured by increase in parental satisfaction score from base line (34.5%) to 80% in 3 months time. A team was formulated to evaluate the reasons for low parental satisfaction resulting from communication between HCP and the parents of sick neonates and to further plan strategies for improving the same. Multiple PDSA cycles were implemented. The results of the all PDSA cycles were discussed amongst team members. Satisfaction of parents related to communication with HCP increased to more than 80% in 3 months time followed by increase up to 90% in sustenance phase. Multiple simple feasible interventions led to improvement in communication between the HCP and parents as evident by increase in satisfaction score (40.8 ± 4.3 vs. 40.8 ± 4.3 vs. 91.3 ± 4.8, p < 0.001). There was significant improvement in the satisfaction scores of the mothers on communication related to sick neonate in NICU at the end of intervention phase as well as in the sustenance phase. Multiple simple doable and feasible interventions had led to the improvement in communication between the HCP and parents hence improving the satisfaction of parents related to their communication with HCP
Flame Profile Measurement of Cu (II) based Salen Complex Filled Thermally Stabilized PVC Sheets by Cone Calorimeter
582-585This study deals with evaluation of Cu-based salen complexes as fire retardants in thermally stabilized PVC sheets. The complexes were prepared using salicylaldehyde/5-bromosalicylaldehyde, ethylenediamine and copper (II) acetate monohydrate are used in casting of PVC sheets. PVC sheets were subjected to cone calorimetric experiments and mechanical analysis. Copper based salen complexes filled PVC sheets have shown a decrease of 15.41 MJ/m2 and 10.42 MJ/m2 in total heat release in comparison to control sample. The complexes also enhanced tensile strength of the PVC sheets. A comparative account of PVC sheets for heat release rate, oxygen concentration and concentration of smoke is also presented
Mycobacterium tuberculosis TlyA protein negatively regulates T helper (Th) 1 and Th17 differentiation and promotes tuberculosis pathogenesis
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, is an ancient pathogen and a major cause of death worldwide. Although various virulence factors of M. tuberculosis have been identified, its pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. TlyA is a virulence factor in several bacterial infections and is evolutionarily conserved in many Gram-positive bacteria, but its function in M. tuberculosis pathogenesis has not been elucidated. Here, we report that TlyA significantly contributes to the pathogenesis of M. tuberculosis. We show that a TlyA mutant M. tuberculosis strain induces increased IL-12 and reduced IL-1β and IL-10 cytokine responses, which sharply contrasts with the immune responses induced by wild type M. tuberculosis. Furthermore, compared with wild type M. tuberculosis, TlyA-deficient M. tuberculosis bacteria are more susceptible to autophagy in macrophages. Consequently, animals infected with the TlyA mutant M. tuberculosis organisms exhibited increased host-protective immune responses, reduced bacillary load, and increased survival compared with animals infected with wild type M. tuberculosis. Thus, M. tuberculosis employs TlyA as a host evasion factor, thereby contributing to its virulence
Reducing the environmental impact of surgery on a global scale: systematic review and co-prioritization with healthcare workers in 132 countries
Abstract
Background
Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres.
Methods
This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and low–middle-income countries.
Results
In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of ‘single-use’ consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for low–middle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia.
Conclusion
This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both high– and low–middle–income countries
Change in microflora from birth to dentate state and its effect on dental caries
The oral cavity is a very dynamic microcosmic environment in itself that supports one of the most concentrated and varied of microbial populations of any area of the body. The oral environment supports an extraordinarily heterogeneous, yet generally balanced, group of microorganisms that varies at different stages of life. The presence of various forms of oral disease further alters the flora; the specific change depends on which disease process has progressed
A quasi-experimental study on effect of ‘clutch hold’ method of breast feeding on comfort level of post cesarean mothers admitted in obstetrics units of Nehru Hospital, Pgimer, Chandigarh
Statement: A Quasi-Experimental Study on Effect of ‘Clutch Hold’ Method of Breast Feeding on ‘Comfort Level’ of Post Cesarean Mothers Admitted in Obstetrics Units of Nehru Hospital, PGIMER, Chandigarh. Objectives: Main Objective- To study the effect of ‘clutch hold’ method of breast feeding on comfort level of post caesarean mothers. Sub-objectives- 1) To select tool and use it to measure comfort level in caesarean mothers while breast feeding. 2) To develop protocol of clutch-hold method for breast feeding and use it among experimental study subjects. 3) To assess and compare the findings. Methodology: A quasi- experimental research approach was used with cross-over study design. Population was 76 cesarean mothers who met the inclusion criteria and were admitted in obstetrics unit of Nehru Hospital, PGIMER, UT, Chandigarh (India). Result: The present study revealed that that comfort level in post caesarean mothers while breast feeding is independent of methods of breast feeding as it is evident by ‘p’ value 0.122, i.e., ‘p’ value is not significant. Mothers who were exposed to ‘clutch-hold’ & ‘cradle-hold’ methods of breast feeding after caesarean section, experienced no significant difference on comfort level while breast feeding.
