Mosquito control has been a point of focus in scientific communities, especially health-providing units. Various methods have been tried and many more still being developed to eliminate or reduce mosquito populace. Certain environmental issues related with chemical control of mosquitoes have convinced experts to opt for eco-friendly methods. Among those methods are the biological control methods, which suppress vector populations through introduction/manipulation of organisms (natural enemies, e.g., parasites, disease organisms and predatory animals). Present study was focused on using edible fish as predator of mosquito larvae. Experimental results revealed that, edible fish have tremendous potential to be used as larvivorous predator of mosquito. It was further found that, larvivorous fish (Gambusia Affinis), used in this study preferred live larvae when compared with commercial food. The rate of consumption was between 180 to 190 larvae per fish per day, and fish preferred live larvae (65.72%) over dead larval stuff (37.14%). Another aim of the study was to determine the effect of light and dark periods on larvae consumption and it revealed that 88.75% of larvae were eaten in the presence of light and only 51.25% in dark by the mosquito fish. In micro-field condition, out of 500 larvae, only 13 (2.6 %) larvae were left, whereas rest of the larvae were consumed by the fish. The study suggests the larvivorous fish to be tried as biological control agent for mosquitoes.

Polyherbal formulations were developed by using five bioactive N-butanol fractionated extracts of Eclipta alba, Picrorhizakurroa(Rhizome), Terminaliachebula (fruits),Piper nigrum (fruits),Nigella sativa(seeds), Tribulusterristris(whole plant) Linn, treatment of liver disorders by exploiting the knowledge of traditional system of medicine and evaluated for hepatoprotective activity using acute liver toxicity models of paracetamol,ccl4, ethanol, isoniazide induced liver damage in rats. Major active fractions were isolated by solvent fractionation and quantified by column chromatographic method. Two polyherbal tablet formulations were developed by the wet granulation method using microcrystalline cellulose, aerosil and other excipients and subjected for physicochemical evaluation to assess physical stability followed by pharmacological screening. The prepared tablets were finally subjected to stability testing to assess its shelf-life. The rats were monitored for change in liver morphology, biochemical parameters for polyherbal tablet formulation at 50 mg/kg and polyherbal tablet formulation at 100 mg/kg. Both formulations showed significant hepatoprotective activity. The histological studies were also support the biochemical parameters. From the results of biochemical analysis and histopathological studies, Biochemical marker showed improved results for polyherbal tablet formulation at 100 mg/kg. Polyherbal tablet formulation contains a potent hepatoprotective agent suggested to be a butanol fraction concentrated in polyherbal formulation which may find clinical application in amelioration of paracetamol, ethanol, ccl4, isoniazide induced liver damage.

This study was done by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Baramati in the year 2020-2021. One of the activities is public education and information dissemination by using local media and other methods. But little is known about level of public awareness of the disease and its prevention methods. So, this study generates important information regarding the level of public awareness of the disease which in turn contributes to designing better mitigation strategies. Hence this study was conducted to explore for educating peoples and providing awareness in public and also for encouraging public collaborations towards COVID-19 among residents of Western Zone, Maharashtra, India specially villages near by Baramati tahasils.
Most participants mentioned common symptoms of the disease. Participants indicated different modes of transmission of COVID-19, explicitly; hand shaking, hugging, sitting together, contact with droplets during coughing and sneezing, making contact with infected air and objects, skin penetration and sharing clothes. 95%peoples under this study completed their Vaccination within the time.

The paper explores the impact of economic turbulence on private schools in Nigeria, focusing on the challenges they face and their implications for the quality of education. Nigeria\'s education system is increasingly privatized due to government policies encouraging private investments. Private enterprises, including individuals, business conglomerates, faith-based organizations, and transnational corporations, seek to attract parents dissatisfied with the government\'s focus on education. Public educational institutions face challenges such as population increase, lack of public investment in infrastructure, and highly competitive admission. The research uses a mixed-methods approach, including quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with parents, teachers, and administrators. Economic factors affecting private schools in Nigeria include inflation with a relative impact index (RII) of 4.08, demographic shifts of 4.06 RII, economic downturns of 3.91 RII, technological disruptions of 3.85 (RII), competition (3.69), and policy changes (3.67). The major impact of economic disturbance is increased operational cost with 20% while both financial instability and an increase in the number of out-of-school children ranked 2nd with 15% each. The paper recommends collaboration between private school operators and the government to improve the private school system, promoting education for all. Diversifying revenue sources and implementing remote learning technology can enhance education quality.

Water-based paint spoilage is caused by actions of some microorganism, resulting in the deterioration of paint quality and coating integrity. This research work focused on water-based paint spoilage fungi, and the use of Ocimum gratissimum in the control of water-based paint spoilage fungi. Twenty paint samples were examined microbiologically, physiologically and physic-chemically after post-atmospheric exposure of 48 h. pH, specific gravity and viscosity were the physico-chemical parameters observed in the research. The phytoconstituents of O. gratissimum were also analysed. Cladosporium tenuissimum,Rhizopus sp., Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus tamarii were the fungi isolated from the exposed paint samples with C. tenuissimum giving the highest occurrence of 55%. Antifungal activity of O. gratissimum (ethanolic extract) against C. tenuissimum gave a Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of 50mg/ml. The phytocontituents of the plant extract are flavonoids, tannins, alkaloid, saponin, steroid and terpenoids. Incorporation of the extract in already water-based paint contaminated with C. tenuissimum, revealed that the extract was able to control the growth of the fungi, however, it also affected the colouration and texture of the paint samples. This research work shows that O. gratissimum has the potential to be used as a natural biocide in paint production, which has major advantages of non-toxicity and bio-degradability as compared to artificial biocides used in paint production.

Background: In bronchiectasis, exacerbations have been associated with higher mortality and a greater impairment of lung function. This study aims to evaluate factors associated with exacerbations requiring hospitalization, with regard to host characteristics, usual treatments, severity and history of exacerbations and to assess the etiology of bronchiectasis.
Methods: This prospective observational cohort study was conducted among patients with a compatible clinical history consistent of chronic sputum production and/or frequent respiratory infections with confirmed findings of bronchiectasis by HRCT of lungs performed prior to study recruitment. Minimum sample size required for the study was 72. This cohort consisted of 77 patients who were followed up for 1year and separated in two subsets: patients treated as outpatients and those admitted to hospital at least once during the follow-up.
Results: Among the participants, 37 (48.1%) were hospitalized in 1 year follow up period whereas 40 (51.9%) were not hospitalized during the period. All of the patient required hospitalization due to exacerbation were above 50 years. Vaccinated patients were more among OP Patients.29 out of 37 Patients shows any one of culture isolate, from which 32.4% were pseudomonas, 18.9 % were MDR pathogen 27% were other organism. IP Cohort more than half of the patient shows FEV1 less than 50. For OP cohort the entire patient shows FEV1 above 50 with significant P value. Bronchiectasis exacerbation (BE) patients with higher BSI and FACED scores required more hospital admissions because of exacerbation.
Conclusion: Age, Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1), extent of radiological involvement, coexistent COPD, exacerbation in last 1 year, culture isolation of organism, use of Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI) and Bronchiectasis Severity (BSI) score were found to be risk factors for exacerbation. Pneumococcal and Influenza vaccination is found to be a protective factor.

This study introduces an IoT and deep learning-based framework designed to enhance biomedical waste management through real-time monitoring and efficient waste classification. By utilising IoT sensors in conjunction with advanced machine learning models and autoencoders, the system automates waste tracking, timely collection, and the categorisation of hazardous materials. IoT sensors enable continuous data collection on waste generation, supporting pattern analysis to optimise waste management processes. This approach addresses critical challenges in mismanagement, including the prevention of spills, control of odours, and the handling of hazardous waste types. By leveraging real-time data, healthcare facilities can improve the segregation and disposal of BMW, minimising risks to human health and the environment. The integration of these technologies contributes to a cleaner, more sustainable waste management ecosystem, ensuring regulatory compliance and enhancing operational efficiency. Ultimately, the proposed system demonstrates how IoT and AI-driven solutions can revolutionise waste management in healthcare settings, mitigating environmental impacts and improving overall public health outcomes.
