True and Reliable Information Sharing in VANET Environment

VANET is a special class of mobile ad hoc network. Data dissemination in VANET is a challenge due to its dynamically changing topology, and researcher's works very hard to minimize this problem and new approaches from them have done this. Now data dissemination in VANET is easy as compared to five years back. But now a new challenge comes in front of researchers that how they decide that information which has to be forwarded into the network is valid and how can they make the network trustworthy. In this paper, we proposed a new approach in which a vehicle can check that information that comes to it for forwarding is true or not and, on its decision, data disseminated in the network. By this, we can make the VANET network trustworthy, and our experimental results show the same

Comparison of changes in amylase activity in the cotyledons of radish and lablab

The food reserve of the seed may predominantly consist of fats, complex carbohydrates or storage proteins. To understand the chlorophyll content and various enzymatic activities taking place inside the seed i.e., in the cotyledons, it is very important and vital to analyze the degradation or synthesis of concerned products. However the work done so far with facts does open up some interesting possibilities of regulation of stored resources. The rate of degradation of starch is also slower than that of Radish. As we know that amylase activity is directly proportional to starch content. So this difference can be considered and justified. Thus it represents that the amylase is the major pathway of starch degradation in the axis and not that much significant in cotyledons of germinating seeds. The amylase activity is significant in cotyledons and is the best way to find out the parameters for the utilization of starch present

The Role of the District Public Health Nurses: A Study from Gujarat

The role of District Public Health Nurses (DPHN) and District Public Health Nurse Officers (DPHNOs) as supervisors of the Public Health nursing and midwifery staff in a district was investigated. Thirteen DPHNs and DPHNOs from six districts selected from six geographic zones of Gujarat were observed for one week using the time motion method. Their activities and time spent were noted and the DPHNs/DPHNOs and their supervisors were interviewed. The role of the DPHNs has reduced over the years because they have not been assigned new roles with change in programmes and policies. Most of the DPHNs have training for clinical work in hospitals. Their 10 month training to qualify for PHN is inadequate to develop knowledge and skills in public health. There is a gap between their training and posting due to delays in government procedures of promotion. The DPHN/DPHNOs spend majority of their time in the office (49%) where they have a limited role. Their supervisory role for nurses and midwives has lost its importance. They spend about 1/3rd of their time in field supervision mostly visiting centres accessible by public transport as they do not have an allotted government vehicle. As they do not submit any field report, there is no follow-up action from their visit. Nevertheless they seem to have an important role in solving problems of field workers as they are mediators between the district and peripheral facilities. To conclude the DPHNs are under utilized which affects the quality of maternal and child health services in the district.

Study on Feature Extraction of Speech Emotion Recognition

Speech emotion recognition system aims at automatically identifying the emotion of the speaker from the speech. It is a modification of the speech recognition system which only identifies the speech. In this paper, we study the feature extraction algorithm such as pitch, formant frequency and MFCC.Keywords:Feature extraction, pitch, formant frequency, MFC

Comparison of changes in sugar contents in the cotyledons of Trigonella and Tamarindus

Fleshy cotyledons serve as the major storage organ in most non-endospermic legumes. Cotyledons serve as major storage organs with protein and carbohydrates as the major food reserves. Reserve food is broken down by the formation of various types of hydrolases (e.g., amylases, proteases, nucleases, lipases, etc.). In germinating seeds, the starch degraded for the formation of sugar, it was found that at the level of starch degradation, the accumulation of sugar in cotyledons of both Trigonella and Tamarindus was quite prominent. It was marked that sugar was the hydrolytic product of starch. It accumulated in the cotyledons along with the subsequent degradation of starch. In most of the cases it showed a decline in its level due to its translocation into the axis which acted as a link

Ectrodactyly, Ectodermal Dysplasia, Cleft Lip, and Palate (EEC Syndrome) with Tetralogy of Fallot: A Very Rare Combination

Ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia, and cleft lip/palate syndrome (EEC) syndrome is a rare genetic disorder with an incidence of around 1:90,000 live births. It is known with various names which includes split hand–split foot–ectodermal dysplasia–cleft syndrome or split hand, cleft hand or lobster claw hand/foot. We report first case of EEC with associated heart disease (Tetralogy of Fallot) who was diagnosed as EEC on the basis of clinical features and EEC was confirmed with genetic analysis

Genetically inborn metabolic disorders

Metabolism is the process carried out in the cells of all living organisms converting the food we eat to chemical energy needed for sustaining life. It encompasses allbiochemical processes that occur within any living organism - including humans - to maintain life. These biochemical processes allow us to grow, reproduce, repair damage, and respond to our environment

What are young Indians saying about mental health? A content analysis of blogs on the It’s Ok To Talk website

Objectives: This study used thematic content analysis to examine submissions to a youth mental health website, www.itsoktotalk.in, in India. Setting: We considered submissions made to the It’s OK to Talk web platform during the first year of its operation (April 2017 - March 2018), focusing specifically on website users based in India. Participants: We analysed 37 submissions by 33 authors aged 19-31 years (mean age 22 years) from 7 Indian cities (New Delhi, Lucknow, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad and Haryana). Eligible submissions were English-language first-person accounts of self-identified mental health problems, submitted in any media format for online publication by authors aged 18 years or older and who were based in India. Eight study participants were additionally involved in a focus group that contributed to the coding process and preparation of the final manuscript. Results: Four themes were identified:1) Living through difficulties; 2) Mental health in context; 3) Managing one's mental health; and 4) Breaking stigma and sharing hope. Overall, the participants expressed significant feelings of distress and hopelessness as a result of their mental health problems; many described the context of their difficulties as resulting from personal histories or wider societal factors; a general lack of understanding about mental health; and widespread stigma and other negative attitudes. Most participants expressed a desire to overcome mental health prejudice and discrimination. Conclusions: Personal narratives offer a window into young people’s self-identified priorities and challenges related to mental health problems and recovery. Such insights can inform anti-stigma initiatives and other public awareness activities around youth mental health
