Epidemiological Studies in Workers Exposed to Steel Dust

Context: Steel is crucial to the development of any modern economy and is considered to be the backbone of human civilization. Although studies on adverse health effects in steel industry workers were reported from European and other countries, studies of this nature are meager in Indian ethnic group, where the health problems in steel industry workers are very serious. In the present study, we focused on adverse health effects in steel industrial workers who were occupationally exposed to steel dust. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first investigation of its kind. Methods: The study was carried out in 435 steel industry workers in the group of 20-60 years who are occupationally exposed to steel dust and in 426 subjects with no history of occupational exposure to steel dust or any other chemicals (control group). Information on the age, medical history, and habits like smoking, consumption of alcohol, surgical history, medication, and nature of job, marital life and years of service was recorded in a standard questionnaire. Results: The results have shown an increase in health problems particularly Hair loss, respiratory problems, diabetes, joint pains, followed by hypertension, headache, and eye problems. Their frequency of health problems was high in steel industrial workers compared to controls (71.03% vs 31.0%). Conclusion: On the basis of the results obtained in the present study, definite conclusions were drawn on the nature of health problems in workers of the steel industry. The frequency of health problems was high in steel industrial workers compared to controls. This might be due to the undue exposure to steel dust at work place. Hence appropriate precautionary measures have to be taken to prevent or minimize the exposure of the workers to steel dust.

Bio-Hybrid: The Next Gen Implant

Osseo-integrated dental implants have been widely used for the rehabilitation of tooth loss. Although dental implants are considered an available treatment in the paradigm shift from traditional dental therapies, such as fixed dental bridges and removable dentures, the fundamental problems must be overcome prior to their clinical use in young patients who are still undergoing jawbone growth. A bio-engineered functional bio-hybrid implant that is combined with adult-derived periodontal tissue and attached with bone tissue can act as a substitute for cementum. This bio-hybrid implant was successfully engrafted and it restored physiological function, including bone remodelling, regeneration and appropriate responsiveness to noxious stimuli. Thus, this article reviews the functional bio-hybrid implant’s potential for clinical use as a next-generation dental implant using adult-derived tissues.

A Comparative Research b/w Friction Stir Welding Processes and TIG Welding Processes for [A6061] Aluminium Alloy

An experimental investigation has been carried out on microstructure and tensile properties of weld b of aluminum alloy. Two different welding processes have been considered: a conventional tungsten inert gas (TIG) process and an innovative solid-state welding process is known as friction stir welding (FSW) process. In this study it has been found that heat affected zone of FSW is narrower than TIG welding and mechanical properties like tensile strength etc. are within comfort zone and are better than TIG welding method. Microstructure results also favour FSW. TIG welding process produces the sound joints but the newly developed method friction stir welding process gives better joints than TIG welding process. The effect of two welding processes on mechanical and metallurgical properties is studied in this research work. Mechanical properties of the welded joints were evaluated and it was found that friction stir welded joints have superior mechanical properties as compared to TIG welded joints. From the microstructure analysis, it was observed that fine and equiaxed grains were observed in the friction stir welded joints and coarse grains were observed in TIG welded joints.

Implementation of Blood Donation Application using Android Smartphone

Blood is an important constituent of the human body. Timely availability of quality blood is a crucial requirement for sustaining the healthcare services. In the hospital, in most of the cases, when blood is required, could not be provided on time causing unpleasant things. Though donor is available in the hospital, patient is unaware of it, and so is the donor. To resolve this, a communication between hospital, blood bank, donor, and the receptor is important. The system listed following forecasting on price variations and stock handling, increase in the number of blood type, increase in human accident Infrastructure, blood on the various category to be managed. So we solve the problem using the Android application. The system will make sure that in case of need, the blood will be made available to the patient. There will be web portal as well as an Android app to make this communication faster. It aims to create an e-Information about the donor and organization that are related to donating the blood. The Methodology used to build this system uses GPS. The Proposed system will be used in Blood banks, Hospitals, for Donors and Requesters whoever registers to the system.

Usage of Internet in the Teaching and Learning Process of Education in the Rural and Urban Areas

The present research work “USAGE OF THE INTERNET IN THE LEARNING AND THE TEACHING PROCESS OF EDUCATION IN THE RURAL AND THE URBAN AREAS” was conducted in Nagarjuna Degree College, Neelagiri Degree & PG College and Kakatiya Degree & PG College in Nalgonda Telangana state during the month January 2017 by survey method. In this survey, the teachers and the students have participated. The survey was involved with a well-designed questionnaire. The participants were made into four groups and every group had their own way of a questionnaire. All the participants were given each copy of the questionnaire and they had given their opinions, experiences, and suggestions as per the questions. The results revealed that maximum students and teachers from both rural and urban area are using the internet in their learning and teaching process. The 77.55 % of teachers are using the internet in their teaching process, among them 20.40 % from rural area teachers and 57.14 % are from the urban area. And 66.90 % students are using the internet in their learning process. In urban area students, 81.37% and in rural area 58.65% students are using the internet in their learning process.
