A Study on The Pivotal Role of Indian Judiciary in Upholding the Notion of Sustainable Development

As the huge degree urbanization, industrialization and related regular change furthermore, its effect on biodiversity addresses a danger to human life and subsequently there is a need to seek after modern improvement with a feeling of obligation. It is conceivable through manageable turn of events. Maintainable advancement proposes balance among natural and formative worries. The Indian Apex Court has been proactive in bringing in maintainable advancement standards from global natural regulation into the Indian regulation through various legal devices and systems. This paper breaks down the idea of practical turn of events and commitment of Indian High Court in laying out the standards of manageability for the public authority and the advancement advocates

A prospective comparative study of outcome between open lichtenstein versus laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernia

Background: Laparoscopic hernia repair is technically difficult and has long learning curve than open repair. Moreover, with increased cost of procedure do patient really get benefited in terms of intraoperative time duration, post-operative pain and complications, length of hospital stays, and time taken to return to usual activity needs to be studied.Methods: In this prospective observational study of 100 patients including unilateral, bilateral, direct and indirect inguinal hernia and excluding obstructed and strangulated hernia, 61 patients underwent open repair and 39 patients underwent laparoscopic hernia repair. Pain analysis was done with visual analogue scale. Unpaired student T test and Chi square test used (p<0.05).Results: Baseline characteristics age, sex of the two groups were similar. Mean operative time in laparoscopic group was 105.38±35.13 minutes and in open group was 79.95±31.12 minutes (p<0.001). There was statistically significant difference in mean pain score of laproscopic verses open techniques (p<0.001). Urinary retention was the most common post-operative complication in both groups but was statistically not significant. Mean hospital stay in laparoscopic group was 1.56±0.50 days and in open group was 1.9±0.50 days (p-0.002). Mean time taken to return to usual activity in open repair was 41.10±27.15 days and in laparoscopic group was 16.23±6.37 days (p-0.001).Conclusions: This study showed that in laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernia patients have less post-operative pain, shorter hospital stays and early return to work. However, the laparoscopic technique had longer operative time duration

Tangent Hyperbolic Fluid Flow under Condition of Divergent Channel in the Presence of Porous Medium with Suction/Blowing and Heat Source: Emergence of the Boundary Layer

A boundary layer’s appearance in a diverging permeable channel for a non-Newtonian hyperbolic tangent fluid with heat transfer in the availability of a heat source and suction or injection is investigated. By controlling backflow, nonlinearly associated ODEs are derived from flow-regulating PDEs, and the restrictions under which the formation of a boundary layer for tangent hyperbolic fluid emerges are investigated. It is obtained that mass suction is an expression of the Hartmann number, porosity parameter, and power law index parameter, and when it surpasses a specific quantity, flow within a boundary layer is conceivable. “Bvp4c,” a MATLAB solver, is used to obtain numerical solutions of flow problem, and for validation of results obtained via Bvp4c, a comparison is made with the methodology of the Runge–Kutta fourth order. As the Weissenberg number enhances, flow in a boundary layer decreases. Furthermore, radiation and heat source parameters have a significant influence on the overall temperature pattern, and as the findings, the thermal boundary layer enhances

A Cross Sectional Analysis of Correlation of Heart Diameter and Cardio-Thoracic Ratio with Body Habitus for Evaluating Cardiac Enlargement: An Institutional Based Study

Background: The present study was conducted for assessing the correlation of Heart Diameter and Cardio-Thoracic Ratio with Body Habitus for Evaluating Cardiac Enlargement. Materials &amp; Methods: A total of 100 subjects were enrolled for the present study. All the patients were within the age range of 20 to 65 years. A postero-anterior chest radiograph was obtained followed by transverse Thoracic Diameter measurement. The transverse diameter of heart was the sum of maximum projections with the right and left heart borders. Heart Diameter and Cardio-Thoracic Ratio with Body Habitus was assessed. All the results were recorded in Microsoft excel sheet and were analysed by SPSS software. Results: Mean CTR among subjects with less than 30 years of age, 30 to 50 years of age and 51 to 65 years of age was 42.1%, 44.6% and 46.2% respectively. Mean HD among subjects with less than 30 years of age, 30 to 50 years of age and 51 to 65 years of age was 11.8 cm, 12.8 cm and 14.6 cm respectively. Mean CTR among males and female subjects was 43.2% and 44.1% respectively. Mean HD among males and females was 12.3 cm and 13.2 cm respectively. Mean CTR among subjects with BMI of less than 25 Kg/m2, 25 to 29.9 Kg/m2 and 30 &amp; above Kg/m2 was 44.6%, 45.9% and 46.1% respectively. Mean HD among subjects with BMI of less than 25 Kg/m2, 25 to 29.9 Kg/m2 and 30 &amp; above Kg/m2 was 12.3 cm, 13.9 cm and 14.1 cm respectively. Conclusion: Age was found to be significant predictor of cardiac enlargement as measured by Heart Diameter and Cardio-Thoracic Ratio with Body Habitus. Although non-significant, gender and BMI were also found to show considerable association with cardiac enlargement

Keypoint-based passive method for image manipulation detection

Due to the availability of media editing software, the authenticity and reliability of digital images are important. Region manipulation is a simple and effective method for digital image forgeries. Hence, the potential to identify the image manipulation is current research issue these days and copy-move forgery detection (CMFD) is a main domain in image authentication. In copy-move forgery, one region is simply copied and pasted over other regions in the same image for manipulating the image. In this paper, we have proposed a method based on Harris corner and Adaptive non-maximal Suppression (ANMS) for manipulation detection in an image. Initially, the input image is taken and then Harris corner detection algorithm is used to detect the interest points and ANMS is adopted to control the number of Harris points in an image. This gives a proper number of interest points for the different size of images and gives the assurance for finding the manipulated region in manageable time. For each extracted interest points we calculate the descriptors using SIFT then for the matching process of obtained descriptors, we use the outlier rejection with the nearest neighbour. Here, RANSAC is used to find the best set of matches to identify the manipulated regions. Experimental results show the robustness against different transformation and post-processing operations

Population Dynamics of Mustard Aphid, Lipaphis erysimi (Kaltenbach) on Cauliflower in Relation to Biotic and Abiotic Factors

The field experiment was conducted at Horticulture Farm, S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner during Rabi 2021/22 to know the population dynamics of mustard aphid, Lipaphis erysimi (Kaltenbach). The incidence of aphid started in the first week of December and second week of December remained active throughout the crop season during both years. The population of aphid gradually increased and reached to its peak&nbsp; in the second week of February&nbsp; and first week of February&nbsp; in Rabi, 2021/22, respectively. The correlation studies indicated that the aphid population had non-significant correlation with temperature, relative humidity and sunshine hours in both the years. Both the predators, ladybird beetle and syrphid fly had significant positive relationship with aphid population during both the years
