Equity, comparative feasibility and economic viability of groundwater investment in Saurashtra region

The paper tries to analyze two districts of Saurashtra from the point of equity and economic feasibility of groundwater abstraction and use. Using various simulation and economic analyses tools, the paper concludes that there is equity of access and consequently access of irrigation. For different pricing and discount rates, the BC ratio and IRR are positive. Thus groundwater withdrawal for irrigation seems feasible. However, if the electricity subsidy to the agriculture is removed, the investments are not feasible.Length: pp.378-390Groundwater irrigationInvestmentEconomic analysis

Indonesia's Digital Economy's Development

Digital technology must be used in all facets of life and business for global advancements to lead to the employment of technology in all disciplines, including the economic sector. One of the nations that quickly digitized their economy was Indonesia. The issue is whether Indonesia can foresee the effects and dangers that the digital economy will pose. This study's objective is to examine the growth of Indonesia's digital economy and the challenges it poses from the standpoint of national defence. The descriptive qualitative methodology is used in this study. Interviews with representatives from the Ministry of Communication and Information, the Ministry of Defense, and the Indonesian Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs provided the data, which was then supplemented with secondary information from these agencies. The study's findings show that Indonesia's digital economy is growing quite well, which boosts the country's GDP. They also show that productivity is rising, production, consumption, and distribution are moving more quickly, there is economic growth in various sectors, and the country can continue to operate despite the Covid-19 pandemic. The digital economy, however, also poses a threat to national security because digitization forces all data to be connected to servers that are vulnerable to data misuse and exploitation; transactions that are not secure from malware-based cyberattacks; fraudulent transactions or hacks by hackers; and infrastructure limitations that have not yet reached all parts of Indonesi

NOVEL NANOPARTICULATE SYSTEMS FOR IDIOPATHIC PULMONARY FIBROSIS: A REVIEW

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the model of a substantial and heterogeneous gathering of pneumonic issues, mostly constant and dynamic, normally known as interstitial lung disease. In the course of the most recent couple of decades, IPF has been progressively perceived as a noteworthy neglected therapeutic need in respiratory pharmaceutical and has turned into the focal point of exceptional research action. This is because of the ways that IPF frequency is expanding around the world, with rates (and sadly forecast) that are fundamentally the same as those of numerous types of growth. Clinical research on IPF has been gigantically progressing, coming full circle in the current revelation of two sheltered and compelling medications, now at long last made accessible to patients. Ordinary treatment for lung disease is related to the absence of specificity and access to the typical cells bringing about cytotoxicity, lessened cell take-up, tranquilize obstruction, and quick medication freedom from the body. The rise of nanotechnology has reformed the treatment of lung diseases like IPF. The focal point of nanotechnology is to target abnormal alveolar epithelial cells (AECs) with enhanced bioavailability and diminished poisonous quality. Nanoparticulates have the potential for IPF treatment by increasing particular access to the abnormal AECs because of surface modifiability and littler size. This audit article additionally features the attributes, ongoing advances in the planning of NPs, and helpful results

Tongue Operated Smart Environment for Paralytic People

ABSTRACT: The "tongue drive" system is a tongue operated assistive technology developed for people with severe disability to control their environment. The tongue is considered an excellent appendage in severely disabled people for operating an assistive device. Tongue drive consists of an magnet reed relays outside of the teeth to measure the magnetic field generated by a small permanent magnet secured on the tongue. The sensor signals are transmitted to an encoder which wirelessly transmit signal and processed to display the needs of paralytic person. The tongue is considered an excellent attachment in severely disabled people for operating an assistive device. This paper presents our recent progress to the development of tongue operated smart environment for paralytic people

Study of metastasis in lymph node by fine needle aspiration cytology: our institutional experience

Background:Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a reliable as well as an inexpensive diagnostic method. It is suitable for the developing countries for the diagnosis of lymphadenopathy at any approachable site. Fine needle aspiration cytology not only confirms the presence of metastatic disease but also, in most cases, gives the clue regarding the origin of the primary tumor, prognosis as well in the management of patient for staging purposes. The aim of the study was to detect and diagnose metastasis in lymph nodes. Methods:A study was done of all metastatic lymph node lesions reported in Department of Pathology, Govt. Medical College, Surat from May 2011 to April 2012.Results:A total of 2355 cases of fine needle aspiration cytology were carried out of which 580 cases were of lymph node. Cytology results were positive for metastasis in 157 specimens (27.06%). The most common site was cervical lymph nodes. Maximum numbers of cases of metastatic tumors were in 41-50 yrs age group. There were 115 males and 42 females with a male predominance (Male:Female= 2.8:1). The most common malignancy was squamous cells carcinoma, seen in 118 cases (75.15%), followed by metastatic mammary carcinoma (13 cases, 8.29%). In 26 cases out of 580 cases, histopathological confirmation was done and diagnostic accuracy of FNAC was 100%. Conclusions:Fine needle aspiration cytology of lymphadenopathy is a useful tool in diagnosing metastatic lesions with good certainty

Indoor Wireless Network Coverage Area Optimization

The presence of interference has a significant impact on wireless network connections indoors. Because of the effects of multipath propagation, such as reflection, refraction, and scattering of radio waves by the structure of the building, the sent signal can usually be received in free space or via more than one pathway, and the consequence might be a phenomenon known as multipath fading. For different results, propagation models have been identified, which provide the propagation features of the initial evaluation. There are two types of wireless propagation models: empirical and theoretical models that deal with coverage, overlapping channels, and wireless network performance. The planning system was set out using a practical and theoretical approach. Furthermore, this comparison may aid in determining the accuracy of survey measures in the context of indoor wireless monitoring and provide an estimate of the breadth and performance of wireless networks in the form of a new topology with contour presentation. Layout plan optimization The typical RSSI of a Wi-Fi system ranges from -40 dBm to -55 Dbm, with a power of 17-18 Dbm, and is applied to channels 1 through 11 non-overlapping in the design of networks with multiple APs that are nearby. The new topology represents the optimization outcomes, accompanied by a contour display and dispersed over the region

Use of Data Warehouse and Data Mining for Academic Data : A Case Study at A National University

If an organisation has full, rapid, exact, and accurate information, it may perform better in terms of evaluation, planning, and decision-making. The essential information can be derived from operational data maintained in an integrated database by a university that already has an information system. This research looks at how to collect operational data into a data warehouse and then apply data mining techniques to analyse the data. This study yielded a comprehensive data warehouse with a web-based information reporting application. Furthermore, data mining techniques are used to analyse the data warehouse that has been created. The result of the application of data mining is the generation of characteristic patterns of students who take certain specialization programs
