Telemedicine is aimed to provide health care to rural populations, especially where there is a scarcity of resources. As telemedicine is unique among health care services, especially in developing countries, in lacking evidence of its effectiveness; the increasing demand advocates the clinical telemedicine to undertake more and better evaluations of its practicality, value, and affordability. To analyze the completeness and practicality of EMR Performa for making diagnosis at provider end during Tele-consultations, a study was conducted in PGIMER, a tertiary multispecialty referral institute that has been providing Tele-consultations to twenty partner sites in the Northern India. Service utilization data, patient demographics and diagnoses were collected for the period from July, 09 till December 09. The clinicians were requested to fill up a Pre-tested close ended Questionnaire after their Teleconsultation session was over. Out of 367 Tele-consultations received during study period, it was found that in 231 (62.9%) cases diagnosis could be made, while 136 (37.1%) cases remained un-diagnosed. On further analysis, it was found, that chief complaints were enumerated appropriately in 232 (63.2%) cases, History explained completely in 166 (45.2%) cases and Personal history in 194 (52.9%) cases. In 74 (20.1%) Tele-consultations, Vitals had been recorded, filled and General Physical Examinations done in 164 (44.5%) of cases. Investigations and diagnostic tests had been done in just 194 (52.9%) of cases. Pediatricians referred to this Telemedicine service (19.5% cases) more frequently than other specialties. Thus, stress need to focused on developing an appropriate and simple EMR Performa which may be filled easily and need modifications specialty wise, and, the referring physician need to be motivated to supply all the necessary clinical details to facilitate the Tele-consultant in making correct diagnosis.Keywords

From the very beginning of ancient time we are using alcohol as a part of our culture just to enhance the fun in different ceremonies, but drinking too much of alcohol or indulging it into one's habit can cause serious problems to one's health such as various cancer, alcoholic hepatitis, cirrhosis, pancreatitis and so on. Not only this much even some time may it lead to a serious accident. But of course this is very true that "Alcohol affects different people differently" as per the tolerance level of an individual. As per Plato "The excessive increase of anything causes a reaction in the opposite direction" the same applies here too in case of alcohol. In fact a moderate drinking has also been proved that it has some positive effects on the body. It only effects negatively to the body when the concentration of alcohol in the blood will be relatively higher say 5-10 m mol L-1 and also at low concentration of alcohol there will be a feeling of euphoria. According to the book "Beyond hangovers" A research demonstrates "low risk" drinking level for men are no more than four drinks per day and fourteen in a week, at the same time three drinks in a day and seven drinks in a week for women. Even after drinking moderately one may have problems, if one drinks too quickly; this case is considered only for those who are over age 65. And for older adults, they should not take more than three drinks in a day and seven drinks in a week. When someone drinks beverage alcohol around 2 per cent to 8 per cent is lost through urine and sweat. The other 92 per cent to 98 per cent is metabolized by our body. At the same time alcohol exerted its effects on CNS by nonselectivity disrupting the lipid bilayers of neurons. Actually alcohol passes directly from the digestive tract into the blood vessels. Within minutes, the blood transports the alcohol to all parts of the body, including the brain. And it affects the brain's neurons in several ways. It also alters their membranes as well as their ion channels, enzymes and receptors. Alcohol also binds directly to the receptors for acetylcholine, serotonin, GABA and also with the NMDA receptors for glutamate. GABA's effect is to reduce neural activity by allowing chloride ions to enter the post-synaptic neuron. These ions have a negative electrical charge, which helps to make the neuron less excitable. This physiological effect is amplified when alcohol binds to the GABA receptor, because it enables the ion channel to stay open longer and thus let more Cl- ions into the cell. The neuron's activity would thus, be further diminished, thus, explaining the sedative effect of alcohol. This effect is accentuated because alcohol also reduces glutamate's excitatory effect on NMDA receptors.Keywords

Attitudes have great influence on people's behaviour. Attitudes represent relatively stable knowledge, emotions and reactions towards people, phenomena and situations (Rot, 1994). All these enable us, on basis of familiarity of attitudes, to relatively successfully predict their behaviour in different situations. For example, if we knew the attitudes towards children from marginalized groups, we would be able to predict whether teachers would have any feeling of pleasantness or unpleasantness when meeting children with disability. The component of willingness of an attitude includes readiness for a greater or smaller engagement. E.g. by examining teachers in both primary and secondary schools towards inclusion, we may learn to what extent teachers are ready to support the inclusion into educational system of children with disability and with other developmental problems. The present paper reviews factors affecting inclusive education among school teachers.Keywords

International Journal of Innovative Research and Development, Vol 2, No 8 (2013), Pagination:Abstract
Teaching at the higher level is more than mere dissemination of knowledge or classroom teaching. The most important job of teacher is to initiate the students into unchartered areas of knowledge both through keeping themselves abreast of the new developments in their area of specialization and through professional activities, like writing in journals or attending conferences or through understanding research on their own. Also, the person needs to have undergone advanced professional education. It embraces personal development and staff development, the collegiality of the group. With growing stress on performance-based measurements of academic accomplishment; and escalating attack on the research task of higher educational institutions it is time to see what measures are being adopted by university teachers to realize their obligations towards their institutions and towards their professional development? Thus the main objectives of the study were to investigate whether teachers understand the concept of Professional Development and Teacher Initiatives, to identify the need of Professional Development in the teaching profession and to study the opinion of the university teachers regarding strength, weakness, opportunities and threats in their professional development. Descriptive survey method and SWOT analysis techniques were applied for the study. The simple random sampling method was used to select 60 teachers from Dayalbagh Educational Institute and Ambedkar University. Percentage was calculated on the basis of frequencies. The results indicated that the teachers are well aware of the concept of professional development and teachers’ initiative. The opinion regarding the strength, weakness, opportunity and threat of professional development were also given by the teachers.

Natural Products are safe for human when compared to that of synthetic compounds. Certain natural product have been investigated for repellent activity against mosquitoes and other house insects. So they are directly extracted from proper plant species are sprayed over crops to control insects pest. The plant extracts that control pest are named botanicals or botanical insecticides. Botanical insecticides are naturally occurring toxins extracted from plants, there are several advantages to use botanicals rather than synthetic insecticides. Plant derived insecticides breakdown quickly in the environment, resulting in little risk of residues on food crop and less risk to beneficial insects.Botanical insecticides are mainly used in organic form. They do not give residual effect in plant products. Some common botanical insecticides and repellents are mentioned here.- Qualitative Study of Phytoplankton and Zooplankton in Upper Lake, Bhopal

Every advance in technology brings a change in the social environment to which man has to adopt in the form of modification of customs and traditions. A massive range of ladies is running in agriculture and acting strenuous duties. The majority of the rural and allied sports have been perceived as tough to carry out by the farm ladies. Drudgery-decreasing gear and devices are proved to be a boon for farm ladies. These gear and devices decreased the drudgery of farm ladies in addition to multiplying their performance and painting output. Working in higher postures additionally reduced the superiority of musculoskeletal issues amongst farm ladies. Technological improvements have been the motive at the back of the drastic modifications in all spheres of ladies' existence. Women have the capacity to mold themselves in keeping with each situation; she has to satisfy all of the necessities in their day-by-day existence. Technological gear reduced the workload of ladies. The power load dropping has no far-accomplishing consequences on ladies' lives inside the village. The technological development and agricultural home equipment inside the village have decreased the exertions of each lady and men and multiplied the productiveness that leads the village in the direction of prosperity and development. To study the adoption of drudgery technology by farm women, it is necessary to study the awareness and perception of women. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the perception of rural women about drudgery reducing technology. The study was conducted in two cultural zones, Hisar from Bagar and Mahandragarh from Ahirwal zone were selected. The study was conducted on 320 rural farm women who were selected randomly from Hisar I, Hisar II and Mahandragarh, Kanina Blocks.It was found that on average 22.2 percent of respondents were having a high level of perception about drudgery reducing technologies whereas 73.1 percent were having moderate and 4.7 percent were having alow level of perception.Keywords
