IMPACTS OF WATER POLLUTION ON HUMAN HEALTH
No full textWater contamination is a national and worldwide problem that affects everyone on the planet. Humans, as well as every other living creature on the planet, are suffering the worst consequences of dirty water. The contaminating of natural waters by chemical, physical, radioactive, or infectious microbiological contaminants is known as water pollution. Water pollution can occur in a variety of ways. Invasive impacts of water pollution on ecosystems include the death of organisms on a large scale, the decline of biodiversity, and the loss of ecosystem services. Varying chemicals have different effects based on where they are used and what they are made of. Contaminated water is a source of disease transmission for bacteria, viruses, and parasites such as typhoid fever, cholera, encephalitis, poliomyelitis (poliomyelitis), hepatitis, skin infections, and gastroenteritis. People frequently get water-borne illnesses such as cholera and TB in areas where screening and purification methods are inadequate. Every year, A record of 3-5 million cholera cases were reported, with 100,000-120,000 people dying as a result of the epidemic. People in affluent nations continue to suffer from the health consequences of water pollution, even in areas where better water purification systems are available

The results showed a significant decrease in total erythrocytic count, haemoglobin concentration, packed cell volume, mean corpuscular volume and increase in total leucocyte count, mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration in exposed groups. The study indicates a significant toxicological impact of cyfluthrin on experimental fish with marked changes in haematological parameters
CHEMICALS OF PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERN, A REVIEW
No full textWe encounter chemicals on a regular basis. Chemicals are an integral part of all matter, both living and nonliving, and they are also used in the production of almost every manufactured good. Many chemicals, when utilized correctly, may greatly enhance our health, well-being, and quality of life. However, when not handled correctly, some chemicals pose serious risks to human and environmental health. Chemical production and consumption are on the rise globally, especially in emerging nations. Lack of safe chemical management is likely to amplify the harmful effects on human health. Urgent action spanning several sectors is required to safeguard human health from the detrimental consequences of chemicals that are not well handled.
HETEROPNEUSTES FOSSILIS (ASIAN STINGING CATFISH)
No full textThis air sac catfish can be reported from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepalese, Asia, Thailand, Myanmar, and Bhutan, where it is known as the Asian stinging catfish (Heteropneustes fossilis). H. fossilis can be found in muddy rivers as well as ponds, canals, swamps, and marshes. It is able to survive in mildly salted water. It can eat anything. During the monsoon, this species breeds in restricted water, although it can also breed in ponds, abandoned ponds, and ditches if there is enough rainwater. Due to its supposed medical properties, it is in high demand. Humans can be stung to death by the stinging catfish. Known to cause severe agony is a gland on its dorsal fin spine that secretes poison. Fisheries in the area depend heavily on this species, which reaches a maximum length of 30 cm (12 in). It is also cultivated for the aquarium trade and available there. In Kerala, India, it\u27s known as kadu or karri in local dialects (Malayalam). Assamese people call it singhi and it is very popular. In Dhaka, this fish is known as singi mach, whereas in Sri Lanka, it is known as hunga
The Economics of Cryptocurrency: Risks and Rewards in India
No full textCryptocurrencies have emerged as a disruptive force in global financial markets, presenting both unique opportunities and significant challenges, particularly for developing economies like India. This paper examines the economics of cryptocurrency within the Indian context, exploring the potential rewards and inherent risks of its adoption. India, with its burgeoning digital economy, is witnessing growing interest in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others, driven by factors like financial inclusion, investment diversification, and the promise of decentralization. However, the widespread adoption of cryptocurrency in India has been slowed by a number of economic, regulatory, and security concerns, which have led to a complex and sometimes contradictory relationship between market participants, regulators, and policymakers. This study utilizes both qualitative and quantitative methods to provide a comprehensive analysis of how cryptocurrencies could impact India’s financial system. Through interviews with key stakeholders, including policymakers, financial analysts, and cryptocurrency exchange operators, as well as an analysis of historical market data, the paper investigates the implications of cryptocurrency in India. It focuses on areas such as investment behavior, regulatory uncertainty, security risks, and the potential for blockchain technology to drive innovation in financial services. The research aims to strike a balance between the potential benefits cryptocurrencies could offer, such as enhanced financial inclusion and lower transaction costs, and the challenges they pose, including volatility and fraud. Ultimately, this paper offers insights into how India can harness the economic potential of cryptocurrencies while managing the associated risks, providing a roadmap for future regulatory and policy decisions

EFFECT OF PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT IN ACADEMIC LIFE OF STUDENTS VULNERABLE IN STUDIES
Get PDFIt has been seen in many researches that parental involvement has a great impact on the academic success of the student. But this level of impact can vary from student to student depending upon their parent’s socio-economic background. And in order to understand more about it, it is important to know in detail that what kind of involvement matter to student themselves so as to determine what can be done in support of vulnerable students that belong from low socio-economic background. This study was done to find out the effect of parent’s involvement in the student life of their children. This was especially carried out in the students of High School (10th std), while taking students of age group 14-16 years. This age group and standard was specifically chosen because this is the peak level after which the child has to make academic choices. A group of 25 (12 girls and 13 boys) such students were chosen who did not perform very well in their classes and are at a risk of not being able to complete their school education because of failing. In this study several findings were made about how the children expect more practical involvement of their parents in day-to-day tasks, and a clear indication from their parents that what exactly are their academic expectations from their children. While interviewing the students about their parent’s involvement in their school life, five themes were generated according to the understanding of the student’s responses: parent’s social and psychological support, help in doing homework given in school, support in practical life, expectations and aspirations level of parents and student’s feeling of thankfulness and obligations towards their parents. The findings of this study can be a great help in the field of family studies and education as it lays light on how the children poor in academics are affected by their parent’s involvement that belong to low socio-economic group and lacks resources in comparison to others. Thus, further a solution can be found out regarding this problem
