Abstract

Burn is a major health problem that cause of mortality, morbidity and psychosocial problems. The aim of this study was to evaluate the epidemiology of burns in this part of the world. In this prospective study 314 burn patients admitted in Pt. B. D. Sharma, PGIMS, Rohtak, Haryana, India from Oct 2012 to Sep 2013 were studied. Maximum number of burn patients were in the age group of 21-40 years (44.90%), with male preponderance (57.96%), 99.36% patients were belonging to Hindu community. Burn injuries were more from rural area (83.43%) than urban area (16.56%). 167 (53.18%) patients were with a family income less than 5000 rupees, 145 (46.17%) patients were literate. Most common mode of burn was flame in 53.50% patients, followed by scalds in 32.16% cases, electrical burn in 11.46% cases and chemical burn in 2.86% cases. No first aid was given in 67.5% of cases. Majority of burns occurred accidentally. In urban population, scald forms the most common type of burn in children (51.92%) and adult females (9.61%). In rural population flame burn is the leading type of burn in adult female (26.33%) and adult males (27.09%) while scald remains the most common burn in children (23.66%). TBSA burn was maximum in the age group of 20-40 years (43.48±18.99%) and minimum in 0-5 yrs age group (20.88±13.61%). Average hospital stay and mortality increases proportionately with the increase in TBSA burn. For implementation of an effective burn prevention program, study of its epidemiological features in a specified region contributes a lot.

Abstract

Apot experiment was conducted at Choudhary Charan Singh HaryanaAgricultural University to study the effect of different sources of sulphur on micronutrient concentration and uptake by wheat. Various levels of sulphur significantly increased zinc content in grain over control. The increase in zinc content was more pronounced at highest level of sulphur as compared to lower levels. The increase was 5.0, 8.5 and 10.6 per cent over control at 20, 40 and 60 mg/kg sulphur application, respectively. The maximum uptake (558.07 µg/pot) was observed at highest level and the magnitude of increase was 18.8,27.2 and 33.0 µg/pot at 20,40 and 60 mg/kg sulphur application over control (419.28 µg/pot). The copper concentration in grain significantly increased with increasing level of sulphur over control (6.82%). The gradual increase of sulphur from 20 to 40 and 40 to 60 mg/kg also resulted in significant increase in uptake of copper. With regard to various sources of sulphur, the copper uptake in grain was found to be significantly at par. The concentration of manganese in grain also increased significantly with graded dose of sulphur application over control (83.53%). The uptake of manganese in grain was also influenced significantly with respect to various level of sulphur over control (632.50 µg/pot) recording maximum (817.45 µg/pot) at highest level i.e. 60 mg/kg sulphur application. In grain, the iron content also increased significantly with respect to different doses of sulphur and this increased was 4.2, 6.4 and 10.6 per cent at 20,40 and 60 mg/kg sulphur application over control (97.39%). Uptake of iron by wheat grain was found to be positively and significantly increased with increasing level of sulphur. The increase was 17.9,25.0 and 33.0 per cent at 20,40 and 60 mg/kg sulphur application, respectively over control.

Abstract

The study provides a systematic review of studies related to the influence of equality in gender on women's psychology. An approach known as feminine psychology, often known as the psychology of women, focuses on the political, social, and economic problems that females deal with all of their lives. Sigmund Freud's idea of female sexuality, one of the most influential developmental theories dominated by men, wasthe source of its opposition. This means that a women's psychology is affected by various factors. The main motto of this article is to offer a systematic review of the relationship between gender equality and women's psychology. In recent years, a growing body of research has highlighted the importance of societal factors in shaping women's psychological experiences. Cultural norms, stereotypes, and gender roles play significant roles in influencing how women perceive themselves and navigate their social environments. Additionally, the study explores the impact of gender equality initiatives on women'swell-being andmental health outcomes.By examining the existing literature, thisreviewaimsto shed light on thepotential benefits of achieving gender equality in fostering positive psychological development among women.
