Abstract	Background: With technological advancement, Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) have become noisier than ever. Studies have shown the detrimental effects of increasing noise in NICU on growing pre-term and sick neonates. The present study aimed to survey the amount of noise in one of the NICU blocks of a government tertiary care centre and explore ways to control it when dealing with these sick babies. Methods: A detailed noise survey was carried out, for February 2023, in one of the two blocks of NICU in a government tertiary-care centre. The noise measurements were performed using two "Sound Ear 3" noise meters. The analyses were done in Leq (equivalent continuous sound levels) A-weighted decibels (dBA). Results: The extracted data analysis revealed that the NICU block was exposed to a mean Leq of 67.78 dBA noise with a maximum of 89.0 dBA. There was a significant difference between the values noted in devices at different locations and across different periods. There were certain instances (57 and 42 for two devices) when there were sudden spikes in the noise levels beyond 80 dBA. It was also seen that noise was more than 65 dBA most of the time (72% and 66% for the two devices). Conclusion: The noise survey carried out over one month revealed a considerable amount of noise in the NICU of a government tertiary-care centre. The study also explored ways such as environmental modification, human behavior modification, awareness programs, and neonatal-centered modifications to reduce the noise and lower its detrimental effects on the growth of neonates.

Abstract	In India contract farming is operated or present from many year ago and it involves in commercial agricultural production of both large-scale and small-scale farmers. Interest in it continues to expand, particularly in countries that previously followed a central planning policy and in those countries that have liberalized marketing through the closing down of marketing boards. In modern day there is changing in consumption habits, such as the increasing number of fast-food outlets, the growing role played by supermarkets in many countries, and the continued expansion of world trade in fresh and processed products; have also provided the impetus for further development of this mode of production. Contract farming is proving to be a viable option for overall agricultural development in India. Contract farming help or ensures in food and nutritional security to the increasing population, raw material for an expanding industrial base, surpluses for exports, and a fair and equitable reward system for the farming community requires commitment driven contract farming which clearly is a viable alternative farming model. In India various Indian and multinational companies have begun contract farming successfully. The success of contract farming in any country dependent on a profitable market, the physical and social environment, and government support. However, effort is needed to reduce negative impacts which arise from contract farming via the active involvement of institutions governing the contract farming business. The overall future of contract farming in India is quite promising due to increasing trend for organised retailing amongst the burgeoning middle class population and the food safety requirements of the export market in developed countries.

Abstract: The aim of the study: Materials and methods: A total of 181 unrelated male subjects from the Rewa population were genotyped for seventeen Y-STRs (DYS19, DYS389I, DYS389II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS385a/b, DYS437, DYS438, DYS439, DYS448, ... ...

Abstract	The aim of the study Materials and methods: A total of 181 unrelated male subjects from the Rewa population were genotyped for seventeen Y-STRs (DYS19, DYS389I, DYS389II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS385a/b, DYS437, DYS438, DYS439, DYS448, DYS456, DYS458, DYS635, and Y-GATA-H4) by using an AmpFlSTR® Yfiler™ multiplex kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). The allele frequencies and forensic parameters were evaluated. Results: A total of 111 distinct Y-STR alleles with corresponding frequencies ranging from 0.006 to 0.829 were identified. The gene diversity values ranged from 0.3092 at DYS437 to 0.8188 at DYS385b. The studied population showed a high level of haplotype diversity (0.9985) and discrimination capacity (0.927). A haplotype analysis was also conducted. Among the 181 unrelated male samples, 165 haplotypes and 153 unique haplotypes were found. Additionally, Rst (genetic distance) values were calculated using the analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) for the studied population and for other 18 populations described in the literature. The Rst provides a convenient parameter for estimating the level of genetic differentiation from the microsatellite data. Based on these Rst values and using the multidimensional scaling plot, a neighbor-joining tree was constructed. Conclusion: The high values of haplotype diversity and discrimination capacity indicate a great potential for distinguishing between male individuals in the studied population. The present population data are expected to find their use in forensic caseworks and population genetics.

Abstract	The intensive agriculture practices improved the crop productivity but escalated energy inputs (EI) and carbon foot print (CF) which contributes to global warming. Hence designing productive, profitable crop management practices under different production systems with low environmental impact (EI and CF) is the need of the hour. To identify the practices, quantification of baseline emissions and the major sources of emissions are required. Indian agriculture has diversified crops and production systems but there is dearth of information on both EI and CF of these production systems and crops. Hence the present study was an attempt to find hot spots and identify suitable strategies with high productivity, energy use efficiency (EUE) and carbon use efficiency (CUE). Energy and carbon balance of castor, cotton, chickpea, groundnut, maize, rice (both rainfed and irrigated), wheat, sugarcane (only irrigated), pigeon pea, soybean, sorghum, pearl millet (only rainfed) in different production systems was assessed. Field specific data on different crop management practices as well as grain and biomass yields were considered. Rainfed production systems had lower EI and CF than irrigated system. The nonrenewable sources of energy like fertilizer (64 %), irrigation (78 %), diesel fuel (75 %) and electricity (67 %) are the major source of energy input. Rainfed crops recorded higher CUE over irrigated condition. Adoption of technologies like efficient irrigation strategies (micro irrigation), enhancing fertilizer use efficiency (site specific nutrient management or slow release fertilizer), conservation agriculture (conservation or reduced tillage) rice cultivation methods (SRI or Direct seeded rice) were the mitigation strategies. These results will help policy makers and stake holders in adoption of suitable strategies for sustainable intensification.

Abstract	Farmers are facing many constraints related with pigeonpea cultivation therefore proper resources management and scientific practices can increase the production and productivity of pigeonpea. Drip and mulching can be a way to achieve the goal of more crop per drop. The field experiments were conducted during kharif season of year 2016–17 and 2017–18. The study area is located (23T 16′48" N-latitude, 77T 21′36" E-longitude) in Madhya Pradesh. The experiment was laid out in vertisols with twenty seven treatment combinations consisting of three mulching, three discharge rate (2 lph-D₁, 4 lph-D₂ and 8 lph-D₃) and three irrigation levels viz. 60% CPE (I₁), 80% CPE (I₂) and 100% CPE (I₃). Well treated bold seeds of pigeonpea (TJT-501) were dibbed in soil on ridge-furrow land configuration. The plant height was maximum in 2 lph (175.78 cm), I₂ (176.10 cm) and number of branches, number of pods per plant, seeds per pod also followed the same trend. Maximum yield was registered with D₁ (16.48 q/ha) followed by D₂ (14.91 q/ha) and D₃ (14.46q/ha). Irrigation level I₂ (16.01 q/ha) registered 13.77% higher seed yield than I₁ (14.07 q/ha). In case of discharge rate, B:C decreased as rate increased. Among irrigation level treatments, lowest value (1.26) of B:C recorded with 60% CPE whereas highest B:C (1.56) was registered with 80% CPE, which is at par with 100% CPE (1.52). It can be concluded that pigeonpea cultivation is not economical with mulch and 100% supply of irrigation during kharif. It is viable to supply irrigation as per CPE only at branching, flowering and pod development stages.

Abstract	Background: It is known that small for gestational age (SGA) babies may be at an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases during adulthood. There is paucity of literature regarding comparative cardiac functions of SGA and appropriate for gestational age (AGA) babies in neonatal period. The present study was conceived to compare the cardiac function of term small and appropriate for gestational age (AGA) babies through a relatively novel echocardiographic index in early neonatal period. Objectives: To compare values of myocardial performance index (MPI) index (MPI = IVCT + IVRT/ET) at 48-72 hours of age among AGA and SGA babies. Methods: Morphological and anthropometric assessment of serially born term babies was done at time of birth to recruit hundred each of AGA and SGA babies. Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI) was done between 48-72 hours for each enrolled baby to assess both right and left ventricle MPI in each group. Results: Mean±SD values for right ventricular MPI in AGA and SGA groups were 0.268 + 0.007 and 0.30 + 0.026 respectively (p < 0.001). Mean±SD values for left ventricular MPI in AGA and SGA groups were 0.25 + 0.012 and 0.30 + 0.017 respectively (p < 0.001). There was significant negative correlation between MPI values for either ventricles and the birth weight (spearmen's rho of -0.66) (p < 0.001). Mean±SD values for LVET in AGA and SGA group were 0.304 + 0.026 and 0.266 + 0.032 respectively (p < 0.001). Conclusion: MPI had a higher absolute value in the SGA babies as compared to AGA babies. These observations point towards suboptimal cardiac performance among SGA babies as compared to AGA babies on the basis of myocardial performance index.

Abstract	Purpose: Anaerobic infections are common yet life-threatening. They are being recovered from all sites of the body, including the cardiovascular system. This study was aimed to determine the retrospective analysis on the isolation of anaerobes in cardiovascular samples received for a decade-long duration. It helps in knowing the frequency of isolation of anaerobic causes of cardiovascular infection. Methods: All cardiovascular samples from the department of Cardio-thoracic vascular surgery from January 2010 to December 2020 were studied. Results: Of 601 samples received, predominant samples were vegetations and valvular tissues of 258, followed by 98 samples of pericardial tissues, 92 samples of embolus, 90 samples of blood and post-operative collections, and 63 excised aneurysms and vascular grafts. Of the total, 15 samples grew anaerobes where Clostridium species were the predominant isolates. Clostridioides difficile was isolated in 2 samples. Conclusions: Anaerobes in cardiovascular samples are uncommon yet form a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Most infections are from the contiguous spread, penetrating trauma, and hematogenous causing endocarditis or valvular infections. These conditions and samples form the seat of infectious focus and clinical suspicion towards the anaerobic cause of these conditions, especially in conventional routine culture-negative samples. Timely diagnosis of anaerobic infections plays a vital role in the good prognostic outcome of patients undergoing cardiothoracic and vascular surgery.

Abstract	In a study on chickpea at Uttar Pradesh, two hand weeding done in weedy check and weed free plot results indicated that weed control treatments significantly reduced the density of weeds. Maximum weed control efficiency (100%) was recorded with weed free plot. Among herbicides, maximum WCE (95.0%) was recorded in pre-emergence of pendimethalin1000 g/ha followed by combined PoE application of imazethapyr 75 g + quizalofop-ethyl 60 g/ha at 35 DAS and lowest WCE was recorded in weedy check. Among herbicides, the lowest number of plants (20.7/m²), plant height (33.4 cm) and number of pods/plant (22.4) at harvest stage of chickpea were recorded in PE application of pendimethalin 750 g/ha followed by combined PoE application of quizalofopethyl 60 g + oxyfluorfen 200 g/ha at 30 DAS. Maximum net monetary returns ` 53588/ha was recorded with pre-emergence application of pendimethalin 1000 g and PoE application of clodinafop 60 g/ha at 35 DAS.
