Abstract	Background: The tobacco epidemic is one of the biggest public health threats the world has ever faced. World Health Organization has estimated that tobacco use (smoking and smokeless) is currently responsible for the death of about 7 million people across the world each year. The objective of the study was not only to find the effect of group intervention on tobacco cessation but also to describe certain epidemiological factors associated with tobacco cessation and make suitable recommendations to tackle this epidemic. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was carried out among male employees who were tobacco users in health-care setting in Western Maharashtra. In the study, 60 subjects each in intervention and control arm were taken. Pretested validated questionnaires were used for the study. The intervention comprised of two sessions delivered 5 weeks apart. Control arm received self-help material (Booklet) immediately after baseline data collection. The outcomes were measured using structured interview schedule. The data were analyzed using SPSS, version 20. Results: Overall, 13.3% of the study subjects had quit tobacco use post intervention. In the intervention group 21.7% of the participants had quit tobacco since past one month and 5% in the control group (relative risk (RR) = 4.33). Low to moderate nicotine dependence (p = 0.023, RR = 6.46) and stage of contemplation (p = 0.018) were found to be important predictors of abstinence. Conclusion: Community-based group intervention for tobacco cessation is the way forward to tackle the tobacco epidemic.

Abstract	Mucormycosis is a rare clinical entity, often affect immunocompromised patients. It is an emergency situation and has poor prognosis. Prompt diagnosis with tissue biopsy, local control of the disease by aggressive surgical debridement and appropriate systemic antifungal treatment improve the prognosis and survival of the patients. Treatment of mucormycosis needs antifungal agents such as Amphotericin B and wide surgical debridement. Early diagnosis and treatment is often needed for survival of the patients. We describe a rare case of mucormycosis affecting facio-orbital area without involving sinon-nasal cavity.

Abstract	This work presents the synthesis of a hybrid core–shell structured Fe(0)@Fe oxide and Mn(0)@Mn oxide (ZVIM) nanocomposite by an ultrasonically assisted hydrothermal process for decontamination of arsenic in groundwater. Our material possesses a unique core–shell structure with zero-valent Fe and Mn in the core encapsulated by a thin layer of their respective oxides. Herein, the synthesized material utilizes the synergetic effect of Mn-oxide layers of zero-valent manganese (ZVM) to oxidize As(iii) to As(v) and iron oxide layers of zero-valent iron (ZVI) for sequestration of total arsenic. The maximum adsorption capacity of ZVIM is calculated to be 58.9 mg g−1 and 101.95 mg g−1 for As(iii) and As(v), respectively, which is greater than that of the individual zero-valent manganese and zero-valent iron. The uptake kinetics of both As(iii) and As(v) show >80% removal within a reaction time of 20 minutes. The adsorption kinetics follow a pseudo-second order model, suggesting the chemisorption nature of the adsorption process. FTIR and XPS analyses reveal the mechanism of surface interaction of the adsorbent with arsenic species. Furthermore, the effectiveness of our adsorbent is revealed by groundwater tests where the final arsenic concentrations in samples were reduced below the WHO limit for drinking water.

Abstract	The various environmental factors have a significant impact on cultured species. One such factor influencing larval production in finfish hatcheries is the tank colour. The current study appraised at how different background tank colours such as white, red, blue, green, and black influenced the growth, survival, and body pigmentation of filament barb, Dawkinsia filamentosa. The experiment was conducted for 30 days and the fish were fed with powdered diet thrice a day containing 30% crude protein and 4% crude lipid at satiation level. At the end of study, it was found that the final body length in the black colour tank (15.33 ± 0.17 mm) was significantly (p < 0.05) higher compared to other tank colour groups. In comparison to other treatments, the final body weight (65.17 ± 1.48 mg) and average daily weight gain (1.56 ± 0.05 mg day⁻¹) in the black colour tank was found to be significantly (p < 0.05) higher, while the white colour tank (35.83 ± 1.64 mg; 0.59 ± 0.06 mg day⁻¹) were significantly (p < 0.05) lower. The fish reared in the black colour tank had significantly (p < 0.05) higher specific growth rate (4.22 ± 0.07% day⁻¹) and thermal growth coefficient (19.4 ± 0.6), whereas the white colour tank had the lowest (SGR = 2.24 ± 0.17% day⁻¹; TGC = 7.27 ± 0.71). The survival rate was significantly (p < 0.05) higher in black colour tank (78.33 ± 1.67%) and lowest survival was observed in white tank colour (56.67 ± 3.33%), which represented an improvement of almost 20% for the fishes reared in black colour tank. Fish reared in black tank had the significantly higher level of carotenoid content (2.33 ± 0.08 μg g⁻¹) and fish reared in white tank had lower body carotenoid level (1.02 ± 0.05 μg g⁻¹). It was observed that the different tank colour did not (p > 0.05) cause any change in the stress and non-specific immune parameters of filament barb. Based on the findings, it can be stated that black background colour is the best tank colour for rearing and production of filament barb.

Abstract	Sowing is the prime operation in cultivation practice of any crop which directly affects production and timely sowing is just essential for utilizing available sources of power. Planters and seed drills are not commonly used for planting of groundnut in Odisha. Generally farmers plant groundnut seeds in the furrow behind a narrow country plough drawn by a pair of bullocks. An On Farm Trial (OFT) was conducted during Rabi season of 2013–14 and 2014–15 in the farmers’ field of Mayurbhanj district of Odisha by KVK, Mayurbhanj to compare the performance of line sowing of groundnut by bullock drawn five row multi-crop seed cum fertilizer planter and single row bullock drawn multi crop plough planter with conventional method of sowing i.e. behind the plough. The trial was conducted in RBD with seven replication. The recommended package of practices was followed in all treatments and a seed rate of 120 kg (kernel)/ha was applied. The average row spacing in case of five row and single row planters were found to be 25.27 cm and 27.24 cm, respectively, as compared to 28.59 cm in case of conventional method of sowing. The average depth of placement of seed was 8.98 cm and 5.76 cm, respectively, in case of bullock drawn single row plough planter and five row multi-crop planter as compared to 8.84 cm in case of behind the plough method. The average plant population was 30.4 and 28.5/m² respectively in case multi crop planter and plough planter, while in case of behind the plough it was 26/m². The field capacity was recorded as 0.2 ha/h with field efficiency of 78% in five row multi-crop planter while in case of single row plough planter, the field capacity was 0.041 ha/h with field efficiency of 75%. The highest grain yield of groundnut crop and B: C ratio was observed as 21.2 q/ha and 2.03 respectively in case of five row multi-crop planter. The cost savings of 30.6% and 55.5% and labour savings of 34% and 77% respectively were achieved by five row multi-crop planter and single row plough planter against sowing behind the plough which were found quite substantial and justified the suitability of bullock drawn five row multi crop planter and single row plough planter.

Abstract	Hydroxyapatite (HAp) powder was prepared from CaNO3·4H2O and (NH4)2HPO4 by wet-chemical method and has phase stable up to 1250 °C. High strength macroporous HAp-naphthalene (HN) and HAp-naphthalene-benzene (HNB) scaffolds were fabricated by adapting sintering method. The resulting HAp scaffolds have porosity about 60 vol.% with compressive strength of ~11 MPa and average pore diameter in the range of ~125 μm. The incorporation of benzene in HN scaffold reduces the strength whereas enhanced both the porosity and pore size distribution. XRD, FTIR, SEM and mercury porosimeter techniques were used to study the phase purity, morphology, pore size and pore size distribution of scaffold. The study compared the effect of concentration of naphthalene on strength, porosity and pore size distribution on both HN and HNB scaffold. In-vitro bioactivity studies on HN and HNB scaffolds show the nucleation of spherical carbonated apatite particles on the surface in SBF solution.

Abstract	Highly porous and machinable nanohydroxyapatite–gelatin scaffold was prepared through the freeze casting technique. Mechanical properties, particularly compressive strength, were improved after curing in liquid nitrogen. Cryogenic temperature (77K) reduced the hydrocarbon bond length, anchored the nanorod HAp particles within organic matrix of original scaffolds and altered the stress–strain characteristics. The compressive strength of 75vol% porous scaffold was increased up to 6MPa but strength was decreased beyond 5h cryogenic treatment because of abrupt porosity increase, excessive internal stress and micro-cracking. Crack wake bridging of high damage tolerant scaffold was observed at optimum cryogenic condition.
