    Abstract The promptness of industrialisation and expanding urbanisation to achieve targets of economics are resulting in the transfiguration of permeable surfaces into impervious ones through LULC adaptation, leaving a herculean footprint on the ecosystem. The LULC escalates land surface temperature (LST), which further stimulates urban heat islands (UHIs), ultimately remaining in tune with high levels of air pollution, energy use, and corresponding health hazards. The present evaluation first used Landsat TM/OLI satellite data to identify the labyrinth of the LULC rotation and, secondly, gauged its effects on the LST in the Cachar district of Assam, India, for the years 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2020. It embraces Cellular Automata (CA) and GIS methodologies to pull out the urbanization pattern and its ramifications in various LULC brackets of Cachar, India. It also embraces spatiotemporal LULC monitoring (1990–2020) and urban growth modelling (2030–2040). From the period 1990 to 2020, satellite-based LULC showed a net urban expansion of 269.43 km 2 (7.13% increase). Some correlations were developed to show the relationship between spatial indices such as NDVI, NDBI, and NDWI with Land Surface Temperature (LST). Resultantly, a positive relation exists between LST and NDBI, but a negative correlation prevails between LST and NDVI, as well as NDWI. This evaluation will be of service to urban and environmental planners, providing them with detailed knowledge on how land cover is changing uniquely in northeast India.

    Abstract The years 2020 and 2021 have witnessed a COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. However, these years have also witnessed certain remarkable scientific achievements. Researchers across the globe have been trying extremely hard and accomplished in bringing vaccines a great variety of COVID-19 vaccines. Though the route of administration for the majority of these vaccines has been the intramuscular route (invasive), some laboratories are developing formulations intended for transmucosal and transcutaneous (non-invasive) administration, which are in the early phases of pre-clinical and clinical development. This short report discusses these unconventional formulations against COVID-19, in brief, to stress the importance of research in the field of drug delivery.

    Abstract Annual monitoring was carried out in the shoreline sediments of the Calicut beach, from 2016 to 2019 to understand the distribution and abundance of microplastics and its environmental implications. Further, the impact of the severe fluvial floods of Kerala during the August months of 2018 and 2019, on the microplastic pollution of the Calicut beach was also determined. Microplastic concentrations ranged between 80.56 items/kg of dry sand to 467.13 items/kg of dry sand during the sampling period. Polyethylene type was consistently higher in all the samples. There was a surge in microplastics concentration during both the floods with a higher proportion of low-retention-period microplastics. Among the different oceanographic parameters, it was found that significant wave height and surface wind speed are positively correlated to the number of the microplastics in Calicut beach.

    Abstract The study area receives an average of 2840.0 mm of rainfall within four months every year. A portion of the rainwater is flown to the sea as surface water, and the other part is percolated into the bottom as groundwater. In coastal aquifers, the groundwater is transported to the sea due to a hydraulic gradient, and it contains a significant quantity of dissolved materials and nutrients. SGD processes impact the ocean productivity, mangrove and coral growth, local acidification and many. To isolate the SGD on the central west coast of India, different data was referred. The GWL concerning MSL contributed significantly to demarcating the SGD zones by considering the positive (>0 m) and negative (<0 m) values of GWL concerning above MSL. Thermal images for SST of pre-monsoon and post-monsoon periods of 2020 exhibit cooler surrounded by warmer, which might be the SGD buffering zones in the off-central west coast of India. By considering the results from GWL and SST, 8 SGD beach sites were identified for the further particularized study. The water samples were collected in March 2022, and analyzed using standard procedures and instruments. Fresh and mixing (recirculated) zones have been isolated by piper, hydrochemical facies evolution, and Ca

    Abstract During the Southwest monsoon (SWM), aeolian dust is mainly supplied via wet deposition over the northeast Arabian Sea (NEAS). To understand their impact on the biogeochemistry of the Arabian Sea, it is important to identify their sources and characteristics. In this context, wet deposit particulate (WDP) samples were collected at a coastal station (Goa; 15.4° N, 73.8° E) in the NEAS during the SWM for three years. These samples were used to characterize and identify mineral dust sources using mineralogical, elemental, and isotopic (Sr and Nd) signatures. The WDP samples were classified as Beginning of Monsoon (BM, June samples), Mid Monsoon (MM, July-August samples) and End of Monsoon (EM, September samples). Clay mineralogical composition indicate high palygorskite content during BM, which subsequently found to decrease in MM, and almost negligible in EM. However, smectite is highest during MM, with moderate presence of palygorskite during this period. The considerable variation in the relative percentages of clay minerals suggests significant temporal variability in dust sources which is further corroborated by the radiogenic isotopic composition. A strong seasonality in the isotopic composition is observed with

    Abstract Introduction: Optimum blood pressure (BP) control is essential to prevent complications and improve the quality of life of patients with hypertension. This study aimed to explore the determinants of BP control in patients with hypertension on treatment without any other comorbidities.
    Method: The study was conducted among 429 patients with essential hypertension aged > 30 years residing in four villages of a taluk/tahsil in a South Indian state. A pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data on socio-demographic characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of hypertension, lifestyle factors (e.g. diet and substance use), facilitators and barriers of BP control and anthropometric measurements. BP was measured using World Health Organization standards and classified using the Joint National Committee 8 Guidelines. Descriptive statistics were measured in terms of numbers and percentages. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine the significant determinants of BP control.
    Results: Approximately 64.3% of the participants had their BP under control. The participants aged 46-59 years were more likely to have uncontrolled BP than those aged ≥60 years. The participants with <80% adherence to medication (non-adherent) had a five fold higher odds of having uncontrolled BP than those with >80% adherence.
    Conclusion: Adherence to medication was the only significant factor for BP control in the present study. Hence, adherence to medication should be addressed with interventions targeted to improve BP control in patients with hypertension.

In this context, wet deposit particulate (WDP) samples were collected at a coastal station (Goa; 15.4° N, 73.8° E) in the NEAS during the SWM for three years.

However, smectite is highest during MM, with moderate presence of palygorskite during this period. The considerable variation in the relative percentages of clay minerals suggests significant temporal variability in dust sources which is further corroborated by the radiogenic isotopic composition. A strong seasonality in the isotopic composition is observed with ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratio being relatively less radiogenic during MM than the BM and highly radiogenic at the EM. Whereas ƐNd values show an opposite trend to ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios throughout the monsoon, with more radiogenic ƐNd in the MM, and less radiogenic at the EM. End member mixing plot indicate dominant contribution of dust from the Arabian Peninsula (ARB) and Northeast African (NEA) sources during BM and MM, while a shift towards the Thar desert and Southwest Asian (SWA) sources at the EM. Trace elements associated with different sources were quantified and suggest high Fe concentration is associated with NEA dust sources, despite ARB being major supplier of aeolian dust to the Arabian Sea.
