 Abstract

The study was a in a descriptive mode in hospital. The study was conducted over a period of one year on 150 samples. Total 150 samples were enrolled in the study. Both serum and pleural fluid samples were collected and quantitatively analysed using semi-automated analyser. It was concluded that Biochemical parameters play important role in diagnosing Pleural effusions. These markers when used collectively their diagnostic efficacy is greatly increased. Patients with pleural effusion is to determine whether the effusion is a transudate or an exudate. An exudative effusion is diagnosed if the patient meets Light's criteria. The serum to pleural fluid protein or albumin gradients may help better categorize the occasional transudate misidentified as an exudate by these criteria. If the patient has a transudative effusion, therapy should be directed toward the underlying heart failure or cirrhosis. If the patient has an exudative effusion, attempts should be made to define the etiology. Pneumonia, cancer, tuberculosis, and pulmonary embolism account for most exudative effusions. Many pleural fluid tests are useful in the differential diagnosis of exudative effusions. The SEAG is superior to Light's criteria in identifying the transudative effusions. It is also observed that Light's criteria identified exudative effusions better than SEAG. The aim of present study was to analyse various biochemical parameters (LDH, pH, Glucose, Triglycerides, Cholesterol, Creatinine, Amylase and ADA) in pleural fluid and to correlate these Biochemical parameters with diagnosis of the patients.

The COVID-19 virus severely affected the educational system in all over the world. During the pandemic, most of the educational institutions were remained closed which degraded the learning level of the students at the school level. The objective of the present research article is to find out the impact of school closures on the learning level of school students in the Indian context. In this research article researchers have explored the secondary sources that demonstrated the pre-pandemic and after-pandemic learning levels of the students. After analyzing the secondary sources, investigators found the impact of school closures on the learning level; a significant decline was observed in the learning level of students at the school level after the pandemic period.

 Abstract

Road traffic and maintenance induce chronic heavy metal pollution in the atmosphere and roadside soil. A portion of these pollutants could be dispersed into the air or deposited onto soils as a result of wind dispersion. The main objective of this research was to determine the level of Pb, Fe, Zn, Ni, Cd, Cr, and Cu in dust samples collected near industrial, residential, commercial and rural streets in the Jamshedpur city during March- April 2023. The concentrations of heavy metals were analyzed using an inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). The result shows metal concentrations Pb, Fe, Zn, Ni, Cd, Cr, and Cu are varied from 14.08-145.25 ng/m3, 129.30-687.09ng/m3, 51.21-302.01 ng/m3, 10.08-31.09 ng/m3, 29.52-165.28 ng/m3, 18.25-68.38 ng/m3 and 19.39-64.01 ng/m3 respectively. Overall, the rank of risk contribution to the local environments among the six heavy metals was Fe (375.54) > Zn (180.21) > Cd (98.48) > Pb (76.54) > Cu (41.48) > Cr (40.86) > Ni (18.90). These values were compared with results from various cities/countries world-wide. This study suggests that earth crust and anthropogenic activities such as motor vehicles were the main sources of heavy metal contamination in the study areas.

 Abstract

This experimental study aims to investigate the effectiveness of bitumen emulsion in stabilizing the sub-base layer of road construction. The sub-base layer plays a crucial role in providing structural support and preventing deformation of the road surface. In this research, bitumen emulsion is introduced as a stabilizing agent to enhance the mechanical properties of the sub-base layer. The study involves laboratory testing of different sub-base materials treated with varying concentrations of bitumen emulsion. The mechanical characteristics, including strength, durability, and moisture susceptibility, are evaluated through standard testing procedures. The experimental results will provide insights into the optimal dosage of bitumen emulsion required for achieving the desired stabilization effects. The findings of this research have implications for the improvement of road construction practices, especially in areas where sub-base layer stability is a critical factor. The use of bitumen emulsion as a stabilizing agent offers a potential sustainable solution, contributing to the longevity and performance of road infrastructure.

 Abstract

Psychological aspects and the provision of psychosocial support for individuals dealing with diabetic neuropathy (DN), a prevalent and challenging diabetes complication, are crucial but often disregarded. This article mainly focuses on the typical clinical expressions of DN--persistent neuropathic pain, postural instability, and foot complications--and explores their psychosocial consequences, encompassing depression, anxiety, diminished sleep quality, and specific concerns like fear of falling and amputation. It further outlines the connection between psychological factors, particularly depression, and their adverse effects on DN, affecting self-care tasks and future health outcomes. It also discusses the current evidence on the efficacy of pharmacological and nonpharmacological approaches. Diabetes harms various organ systems and plays a significant role in causing chronic complications. Diabetic neuropathies (DN) are the most prevalent chronic complications, affecting around 50% of individuals with diabetes. Among diabetic neuropathies, distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DSPN) and autonomic neuropathies are extensively researched. DSPN, the most prevalent type, results from damage to both small and large peripheral nerves.

 Abstract

This research paper explores the youth political culture and the promises meant for the them in the electoral manifestos of two major parties in India. Political parties' manifestos represent crucial policy requirements for the nation and its population, while political culture shapes subjective elements in a country's politics. Youth involvement plays a vital role in highlighting issues, addressing youth concerns, and improving overall quality of life. With India's youth demography, understanding the influence of political culture and its impact on manifesto formulation is extremely essential. The research is done considering the recent two Lok Sabha elections of 2014 and 2019 which witnessed the highest youth participation in terms of voter turnout. The study follows a descriptive and explorative approach, examining the distribution of political attitudes, values, feelings, knowledge, and abilities among the youth. Through an analysis of manifestos of two major political parties namely Indian National Congress (INC) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the paper highlights the significance of youth engagement and its impact on democratic representation and policy formulation.
