    Infants start to vocalize recognizable words at an early age. Early linguistic interactions with the parents and caregivers is certainly important to establish these early linguistic abilities. Some word like forms do appear to have meaningful correlation with the infants primary language. With this reference, it is essential to investigate the early word productions during the babbling phase to their first word productions. The present paper highlights on the occurrence of early word productions in 8 to 12month old infants in Malayalam language. The participants consisted of 20 typically developing native speaking Malayalam infants. Vihman and McCune’s (1994) criteria was utilized to determine the early words after the audio recordings were carried out and transcribed. The transcribed data was analyzed in IPA to acquire the frequency of the early word productions

    Cloud computing is a new emerging technology which provides different kinds of services through internet and reduces maintenance cost as well as provides data reliability. Now a days many cloud service providers are providing services with different policies and prices. But it leads difficult to customers to choose cloud services with less price. That clients as a rule put their information into a single cloud and after that just trust to luckiness. Proposing new data hosting technique termed as CHARM which supports two strong functionalities.The first is selecting a few suitable clouds and a fitting excess system to store information with minimized financial expense and ensured accessibility.The second is setting off a move procedure to re-disperse information as indicated by the varieties of information access example and evaluating of clouds.In this project defining secret sharing algorithm to reduce the risk of data intrusion and the loss of service availability in the cloud and ensure data integrity. Finally proposed scheme not only saves the cost and also Maintains data and price adjustments

    Abstract Acquisition of speech sounds during child's development refers to the gradual mastery of speech sounds within a given language. During the initial stages of the infant's life, the vocalizations produced are highly varied from the well formed adult speech. The study aims to investigate the appearances of speech patterns during early vocalizations at the pre linguistic period. The participants included in the study comprise of 8 infants, two boys and two girls each in the age range 4-6months and 10-12months. The participants were selected from native Malayalam speaking families. An informed consent was obtained from parents/ caregivers for the participation of the children. The researcher carried out the audio recording of the babbling utterances. Analyses of the sample were carried out using IPA transcriptions. The data obtained was classified as singleton vowels and consonants, bisyllabic and multisyllabic utterances containing strings of vowels, variegated and reduplicated multisyllabic utterances. The numbers of utterances were higher and varied in the 10-12 month age group compared to 4-6 month age group.

    Background: Tobacco can be consumed as cigarettes and also as smokeless tobacco. Smokeless tobacco is a harmful tobacco product that contains over 3,000 chemicals, 7 including 28 known carcinogens (cancer-causing agents). Various forms of smokeless tobacco (mainly snuff and chewing tobacco) cause an immediate increase in heart rate and blood pressure. However, the relationship between smokeless tobacco uses on blood pressure remains unknown, especially in tertiary level hospitals. Our aim is to find out the smokeless tobacco use influence on cardiovascular parameters, for instance, pulse rate and blood pressure. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out to assess cardiovascular changes among adult male smokeless tobacco (ST) users. For this purpose, 50 male respondents were selected. The participants were selected from the medicine outpatient department of Great Eastern Medical School and Hospital, Srikakulam, Andhra Pradesh. Pulse rate and blood pressure were measured and ST uses behavior was assessed using self-reports. Statistical analysis was done by SPSS20. Results: In this study, the mean (±SD) of pulse rate was 83.2±12.3 beats/min. The mean (±SD) of systolic blood pressure was 158.72±24.84 mm of Hg and the mean (±SD) of diastolic blood pressure was 98.78±9.87 mm of Hg in smokeless tobacco users. Conclusion: Mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures were higher in smokeless tobacco users in the tertiary level hospital. However, the mean pulse rate was within the normal range

    Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency is a common disorder in diabetic patients and may be a risk factor for the progression of diabetic nephropathy. The present study aimed to assess the effects of a large dose of parenteral. Vitamin D on 24 hours albuminuria in T2DM patients. Methods: This prospective single-center study included 80 vitamin D deficient [25(OH) D <50 nmol/l] T2DM patients with an adequate glycemic control (HbA1c< 7.0%). Without any changes in anti-hyperglycemic or antihypertensive drugs, these patients were given a single high dose (600000 IU) of parenteral Vitamin D3. Then the changes in Vitamin D levels and 24 hours albuminuria were seen on follow up at 3 months. Results: Vitamin D3 supplementation improved 24 hours albuminuria. In the present study, Twenty-four-hour urinary albumin excretion decreased from 210.4 ± 101.2 to 204.6 ± 104.5. In males, it changed from 221.8 ± 99.7 to 216.1 ± 100.3 and in females, it changed from 192.3 ± 108.5 to 186.7 ± 113.1. There was a negative association of albuminuria with Vit D levels in the present study. Conclusion: Vitamin D3 supplementation significantly reduces 24-hour urinary albumin excretion in T2DM patients with Vitamin D3 deficiency
