Liver enzymes in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A cross sectional study
Type 2 diabetes patients will have a higher incidence of abnormal liver enzymes than individuals who do not have diabetes Aminotransferases, such as alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase serve as a marker of hepatocyte injury. Alkaline phosphatase, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase, and bilirubin act as markers of biliary function and cholestasis. Albumin and prothrombin reflect liver synthetic function. The aim of our study was to assess the profile of liver enzymes in subjects with T2DM. Materials and methods: It is a cross-sectional study, where 100 Type 2 diabetes patients attending the Medical OP, NRI General Hospital aged between 40 – 69 yrs were included in the study. The blood sample was collected from all the patients to analyze FPG, PPPG and liver enzymes. The data were analyzed and presented as means ± SD. Statistical analyses were done using t-tests, Pearson’s correlation. P < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: In 47% of Type 2 diabetes patient’s elevated liver enzymes were seen. Mean levels of liver enzymes were higher in men than those in women (26.0 ± 24.8 vs. 21.4 ± 16.0 IU/l in AST, 32.8 ± 20.1 vs. 26.3 ± 13.1 IU/l in ALT), but in ALP, bilirubin and albumin levels there is no mean elevation and no significant difference between male and female. Conclusion: In this study, we found the highest incidence of mildly elevated transaminases in Type 2 diabetes patients. Increased activity of liver enzymes, particularly ALT was associated with an increase in developing insulin resistance and further makes diabetes worsen. So, the estimation of liver enzymes in Type 2 diabetes patients may be helpful in treatment process.

Analysis on methods of image dehazing- An assessment
A literature survey is important for understanding and gaining much more knowledge about the specific area of a subject. The outdoor images captured in inclement weather are degraded due to the presence of haze, fog, rain and so on. Images of scenes captured in bad weather have poor contrasts and colors. This may cause difficulty in detecting the objects in the captured hazy images. Due to haze, there is trouble for many computer vision applications as it diminishes the visibility of the scene. This paper presents a study about different image dhazing methods to remove the haze from the hazy images captured in real-world weather conditions to recover a fast and improved quality of haze-free images. There is an improvement in terms of contrast visible range and color fidelity. All these techniques are widely used in many applications such as outdoor surveillance, object detection, underwater images, etc.

Strand Beest Bicycle
In this research paper, we are describing a new feature and technology bicycle. We make this bicycle by adding the Jonson linkage mechanism in the normal bicycle. And like the other bicycles, there is a normal wheel in the rear and front side of the bicycle. When bicycling on sand (beach) or ice surface we are going to use a linkage mechanism and when bicycle on normal road surface we use the rear wheel on work. We use Gearbox in bicycle to transmit power to both the linkage mechanism and rear wheel of the bicycle at different times.

Improving fault tolerance and network lifetime using relays assisted data forwarding in WSN
Wireless sensor network plays a pivotal role in gathering useful data through sensor nodes and using this information for efficient information processing. The supervision of these nodes, therefore, requires optimized algorithms for efficient data capture, data processing, and information retrieval. To amplify the lifespan of the nodes, the researchers in the past have adopted for the clustering-based approaches. In this paper, the route maintenance mechanism has been defined where each sensor node and CHs locally select new disjoint routing paths/routes in the presence of node/link failures. This technique proposes a modification to an existing scheme by selecting the cluster heads in advance before the start of a new round of data gathering. This helps to avoid the broadcasting of ADV packets in the network. In addition, MDEEHC also allows the parent cluster heads to choose relay nodes from their clusters. These relay nodes are used to transmit the data of the child CH to the base station, thus reducing the load over the parent CH. we have implemented DEEHC and modification to the existing DEEHC clustering algorithm. DEEHC defines the formation of k-vertex disjoint paths from cluster members to cluster heads and from CHs to sink node or base station. This procedure selects cluster heads considering the remaining energy of the nodes as prime factors. M-DEEHC modifies the cluster formation of the DEEHC algorithm as well as modifies the way the data is communicated from child cluster heads to the BS. The performance of the network was analyzed based on throughput, remaining energy, and packet delivery ratio.

Securing healthcare system using quantum cryptography mechanism
In today’s fastest-growing life, all need to be more secure in terms of advancement in technology. Everything is going to be a part of digitization. In this, almost everyone is using online storage for storing their personal and important and official secret information. To sustain integrity there should be trustworthy services must be carried out in the back end. Online security has been provided for the cloud with a very powerful privacy system. But still, there is a possibility of different interrupts in terms of stacks like DoS, Denial of Service attack can happen any time to break the normal flow of service. Henceforth, this paper will provide a strong security system for data storage with double encryption format and a more complex structure, for we will express the algorithm through the quantum cryptographic environment to use under the homomorphism technique of modern cryptography.

A case study on Grid Integrated Micro Grid system
With an evolution in technological and industrial sector, there is an increase in utilization of electrical energy. However, the rapid exhaustion of conventional fossil fuels which led to rapid development in the field of renewable energy for the production of electricity along with distributed energy resources. Micro grid can provide a better backup solution along with main grid for providing continuous power. There is very niche awareness and knowledge about the Micro grid system. In this paper, efforts are made to create an awareness and encourage people to adopt and implementation of Micro grid system for reliable, sustainable and environment friendly power space. This paper involves a case study on installation of a Micro grid system at Adas (18.7789°N, 76.2306° E), Dist-Beed, and Maharashtra. The main issue with location is that as this area comes under drought prone area and receives the annual rainfall of just around 692mm, which results that nearby ParliVaijnath Thermal Plant is shut-off due to scarcity of water and faces the load shedding for an average of 6 hrs/day. The paper provides feasibility in terms of reliability, economics and sustainability using Micro grid system. The analysis suggests that grid integrated Micro grid system is more viable solution to such kind of areas where availability of conventional sources of energy is the main constraint. If grid integrated Micro grid systems are implemented in such rural areas, it would become versatile option for energy through local power generation with help of renewable energy sources. So, the whole study concludes that the implementation of Grid Integrated micro grid system will be more feasible to be implemented in the rural areas at village-level with most reliable, affordable expenses with zero fuel cost and small pay-back period for 24/7 power flow. Thus, the implementation of grid integrated Micro grid system provides a better option for local power generation and it also contributes substantially towards sustainability, reliability and environment.
