Background: Quality of life of a transtibial (TT) amputee is not only determined by his functional rehabilitation but also social, economical and psychological rehabilitation. A number of studies have analyzed the influence of lower limb amputation on these factors. This study analyses the effect of functional recovery on other parameters of quality of life in a TT amputee.Material and method : The present study followed 160 patients of TT amputation. Their postoperative ambulatory status was calculated using Pinzur's ambulatory level. Their quality of life was determined on the basis of answers to five point questionnaire. These parameters were correlated to assess the influence of functional recovery on quality of life.
Results: All the amputees with Pinzur's 0-1 level of ambulation suffered loss of income consequent to loss of job. All of them felt increased level of depression and anxiety after amputation. 50% of them felt socially neglected. Comparatively much less percentage of amputees with 5-6 level of ambulation suffered economic, social and psychological crisis.
Conclusions: Postoperative ambulation level directly affects the quality of life of a TT amputee.

Coptotermes is one of the most widespread subterranean termite genus of economic significance with few species considered as truly invasive. Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann) is also known to be invasive and has taxonomic confusion on its correct identity. Originally described from Myanmar, it is considered to occur in North East India and Thailand. However, it is found to cause serious economic losses in some Asian countries, Brazil, the Caribbean islands and peninsular Florida, USA. In the present study, the insect specimens which were recovered from imported wooden packaging material of a consignment at Goa, India, received from Harrisonburg, Virginia, USA have been reported. The termite species received was identified as C. gestroi through morphological characters and DNA barcoding. The possible infliction caused if invasive populations of C. gestroi enters India, in particular southern India, is discussed.Keywords

Background: COVID-19 has become a crisis across the country these days, which likewise changed living of individual to entity contact and its spread. There the presentation of Teledentistry will be the solitary solution that will have the option to treat patients quickly and expertly. Aim: The current study aims to assess the awareness of dental professionals towards teledentistry during COVID-19 crisis in India. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive survey was conceded on over all 142 dentists. A self-organized, close-ended questionnaire containing 20 questions was appropriately assembled and distributed. Data collected from the survey was examined in terms of frequency (yes/no). One Way Anova test was used to exemplify statistical variances and result came as significant at p < 0.05. Results: The responses from specialist dental professionals (with or without practicing) responded (57%) and dentist working in a private sector (68%) having clinical experience of about 5-10 years (36%). Conclusion: Dentists were well aware of this advanced technique and due to feasibility, most of them were ready to practice it in future.Keywords

Increased globalization and trade have made India a target for entry of many new alien insect pests. One such unintentional recent introduction is the cassava mealybug (CMB), Phenacoccus manihoti on cassava. Monitoring on the occurrence and damage potential of CMB on cassava was undertaken during 2020. Among the places surveyed, maximum damage score (4–5) and density of the mealybug (>1000/shoot tip) were recorded in Salem and Namakkal districts of Tamil Nadu and Thrissur district of Kerala. In the absence of effective native natural enemies and other methods of control, CMB might pose a major crisis to the cassava industry in India. The prospects of its suppression by classical biological control are quite vibrant and the initiative to import the parasitoid wasp, Anagyrus lopezi from Thailand and the Republic of Benin is already being taken by ICAR-NBAIR, Bengaluru, India.Keywords

The South American tomato moth Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) is a devastating pest of tomato. In the present study Tuta-adapted strains of Trichogramma were evaluated. Amongst the three species, Trichogramma achaeae Nagaraja and Nagarkatti, Trichogramma pretiosum Riley and Trichogrammatoidea bactrae Nagaraja could parasitise T. absoluta eggs and the parasitism rates were 5.0%, 51.1% and 68.2% respectively. Adults emerged from the parasitized T. absoluta eggs (4.8%, 97.5% and 90.0% adult emergence respectively). The F1 generation adults of T. pretiosum could parasitise 29% of Corcyra cephalonica Stainton eggs, while the other two species were not successful in parasitizing. In addition, four 'hymenopteran' parasitoids, viz. T. achaeae, Neochrysocharis formosa (Westwood), Habrobracon sp. and Goniozus sp. were also observed to be associated with T. absoluta in the fields during the surveys undertaken in southern India.Keywords

Human-wildlife conflict (HWC) is on the rise globally, and is one of the significant environmental problems in India. In India, HWC manifests itself in several ways, such as wildlife poaching, retaliatory killing of/injury to wildlife species, crop raiding and livestock predation by wildlife species, injury to humans or human mortality, and destruction of property, houses and buildings by wildlife. Of these, wildlife conflict in agro pastoral contexts has been a subject of debate and great concern nationally, not only for its impact on the farmers, but also for the consequences regarding wildlife conflict. In India, HWC involves multiple stakeholders and multitudinous socio-cultural and environmental issues. Hence any study on this topic must encompass a multi-disciplinary effort that provides a holistic understanding of the history of wildlife, crop and livestock raiding, its nature and consequences and discuss various techniques that have been used or recommended to mitigate the effects of this crisis.- Load Balancing in Cloud Computing

Cloud computing becomes an important technology for distributed computing and parallel computing. Cloud computing provides various facilities; like to share resources, software packages, information, storage and many other applications depending on user demand at desired time place. It provides an extensive measure for computing and storage. A service provided by it to user follows pay-as-you-go model. Although it provides many facilities but still some problem attached to it are resource discovery, fault tolerance, load balancing, and security. Out of these, Load balancing is the main challenges. There are many techniques which used to distribute workload or task, equally across the servers. This paper includes cloud computing, cloud computing architecture, virtualization and MS load balancing technique which provide enhanced load balancing.Keywords

The cardinal object of the present study was to investigate the locus of control and big five personality factors among lovely professional university students. Further the study also strived to find out the relationship between locus of control and big five personality factors. For this purpose the sample of 100 samples were selected from Lovely Professional University through simple random sampling technique. Rotter's Locus of control Scale and Big five personality traits constructed by John and Srivastava were used for assessment purpose. For statistical analysis independent t-test and correlation analysis was applied by using SPSS 20.0 version. The result revealed that there is no significant gender and age difference found in big five personal factors and locus of control. Further no significant relationship between locus of control and big five personality traits.Keywords
