Back ground: Heal perforation still ranks among the commonest emergencies encountered in the tropics. Typhoid is by far the commonest cause of ileal perforation in India, in spite of the apparent improvements in environmental anitation, showing the lacuna here. The need of the hours in ‘Health Education’ – awareness of the public of the importance of safe drinking water and careful disposal of waste.

Consumer awarness and purchasing behaviour of organic food

The awareness on the harmful effects of non-organic food is increasing among the consumers. In recent days there have been significant changes in the attitude of consumers towards food safety, health concern and also nutritious and environment friendly. In now a day the trend towards purchasing of organic food is growing among people. Hence, the study to analyze what actually encourages consumers to turn towards organic food is important and to identify the important factors which motivating to purchase of the organic foods.

Activity limitation and participation restriction of communication skills in vocational training of adults with intellectual disability

Aim:- The study evaluated communication skills of adults with intellectual disability pursuing vocational training. In specific terms, the issues addressed were whether communication skills vary with severity of retardation and whether communication skills impact nature of vocational trade. Method: - The International Classification of Functioning (ICF) framework was used to answer these research questions. The data was obtained in 62 adults with mild and moderate intellectual disability aged 18-30 years.

Biomechanical analysis of getting in o-gurma (leg technique) in judo: a biomechanical approach

The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference of selected kinematic variables of three point shot between first and fourth quarter in the basketball players. A total of five (n = 5) best male gymnasts of 18 to 23 years old from L.N.I.P.E., Gwalior (M.P.) were selected for the present study as subjects. To acquire kinematical data, a digital Nikon D-3100 video recording camera with a frame rate of 30 frames per second, were used during the execution by placing it right side of players and perpendicular to the sagittal plane.

Crack detection in underground pipeline systems

Underground pipeline systems need incredible maintenance. Due to tarnishing and mechanical stresses catastrophic defects are caused. These buried infrastructures need to be handled with the utmost care. Detecting cracks is very important as it causes great forfeiture of time and human efforts. Also, if these defects are not detected accurately it may cause a loss of the contents flowing through the pipelines. Detection of defects in underground systems is a fairly convoluted process. Currently it is done through a very manual procedure.

Clonal variation in selected wood anatomical properties and specific gravity of eucalyptus tereticornis sm. from two localities in Karnataka

A native of Australia and the East Indies, Eucalyptus was introduced to many parts of the world and today ranks as one of the most ubiquitous trees. Eucalyptustereticornis Sm. known as Mysore gum in India is one of the most extensively cultivated Eucalypt species to meet the ever increasing demand of paper and pulp, and wood based industries. The supply to the wood based industries has always fallen short of their requirements. Due to shortage of raw materials from forests, industries have started their own plantations.

Metallic glasses that save power and boost sustainable development

Innovative amalgamation of advances in disciplines like nanotechnology, thin film engineering and crystallography, has led to the design and fabrication of functional materials such as shape memory alloys, conducting polymers and metallic glass. These new materials exhibit better mechanical strength than the conventional materials and save the time taken in executing a task. One of these materials – the metallic glass, saves the consumption of energy and thus arrests the resultant degradation of environment. It also bears the potential to boost our longevity and health.
