Wherever coal is mined or exposed at the surface there is the possibility of
uncontrolled fires that destroy valuable resources, despoil the environment, and cause
human health problems. These fires are known to mobilize potentially toxic elements
such as arsenic, selenium, fluorine, and mercury, toxic gases such as toluene, xylene,
benzene, and ethylbenzene as well as copious amounts of carbon monoxide and carbon
dioxide. Although these fires occur in China, Russia, the U.S. and elsewhere, the coal
fires in the Jharia region of India are notorious having been burning for more than 100
years. Much has been done to extinguish the fires in the Jharia region and move
villagers away but the fires persist and present a health threat to those still living
nearby. An initial assessment indicated that those villagers living within one mile of
an active fire were 98% more likely to report a range of health issues than villagers
living five miles from the fire. In a follow-up study samples of condensates from
several coal fires, some adjacent to a village, were collected and characterized.
Preliminary SEM/EDX and XRD analyses indicate that huge amounts of fluorine are
being emitted from the coal fires indicated by the widespread and abundant
cryptohalite and bararite [both (NH4)2SiF6)] as well as several other fluorine-bearing
phases. Other minerals identified were mascagnite [(NH4)2SO4)], and sal ammoniac
(NH4Cl). Other condensate phases contained major S and Cl some with trace Se, Pb,
Hg, and Br. A unique aspect is the abundance of iodine-bearing phases and the
presence of bismuth oxy-chlorides. The health implications of these emissions should
be assessed.

Title of the Talk: Handling COVID 19 and Associated Occupational Health and
Safety Concerns: Lessons learnt from Recent Environmental Health and Safety
Research
Populations in developing countries are often exposed to health and safety hazards,
which must be handled correctly. Communicable diseases like the coronavirus disease
(COVID 19), account for a large proportion of all deaths in the developing world.
COVID 19 has exposed a lack of preparedness by low-income nations to deal with
environmental emergencies. This communicable disease has the potential to cause
occupational injuries to health workers and when mishandled can spread quickly
affecting many people in the population. In a recent study, we confirmed that industrial
noise is poorly managed in Kenya, presenting a health hazard to workers. Noise levels
in the non-formal industries are normally above 90 dB(A), exceeding international
guidelines and the local workplace noise standards. Our study recommended urgent
and deliberate efforts to be put in place to reduce workplace noise levels. We made
recommendations for relevant authorities to create awareness about the harmful effects
of noise and provide workers with appropriate protective gear at the workplace. In a
different study, we investigated safety issues in construction sites and identified key
administrative factors which, when properly managed, could significantly reduce
accidents and hazards at construction sites. These interventions can be applied in the
health sector to reduce the hazards presented by COVID 19: (1) encourage business
owners to provide resources for safety; (2) provide staff training in safety; (3) enforce
safety regulations at the workplace; (4) encourage workers to be safety conscious; and
(5) encourage top leaders in industry to be safety aware. We have established that
nearly every industry in Kenya, ranging from transportation to agriculture and
manufacturing, has occupational health and safety issues. As nations address the safety
issues presented by COVID 19, developing countries like Kenya must put in place
policies and practices to keep their citizens safe from the hazards associated with the
disease.

Title of the Talk: Sequestration of Carbon Emission and Assessment of
Ambient Air Quality during COVID-19 pandemic lockdown – A case study

Changes), Bhopal
Human activities from the very beginning of civilization started manipulating the
nature for its own benefit. Industrialization and urbanization became inevitable to
meet the demands of increasing population. Environmental concerns like air pollution,
water pollution, climate change, ozone layer depletion, global warming, depletion of
ground water level, change of biodiversity & ecosystem, arsenic contamination and
many more were not given much importance out of the desire to drive the nature as
per their own whims. Increasing concentration of greenhouse gases (CO 2,CH4,CFC,
N2O) and carbon emissions from various sources such as thermal power plants,
transport, industries and anthropogenic sources are posing most serious environmental
threats and major health hazards to the human race at present.
It is too early to prove a direct correlation between current high air pollution levels and
incidence of COVID-19 but high pollution levels might increase the risk of carrying
COVID-19 by particulate matter which has the potential to act as carriers for
contagion leading to rapid spread over larger areas. So, reducing air pollution could be
another way of reducing the spread of Covid-19 because not only are people living
with poor air quality and areas of high population density are more susceptible to this
zoonotic disease, but also airborne particulate matter can potentially facilitate
spreading the virus.
The present research study encompasses an assessment of the air quality of Bhopal
(India) during Pre COVID-19 and COVID-19 pandemic lockdown periods. The
lockdown periods was imposed in India in four phases: First, from 25th March to 14th
April, Second, from 15th April to 3rd May, Third, 4th May to 17th May and Fourth from
15
International Webinar on Recent Advances in Science and Technology During the Corona
Virus Pandemic- 2020, BIT Mesra Ranchi (India)
18th May to 31th May, 2020. Due to the compulsory restrictions, the pollution level in
cities across the country drastically slumped down just within few days which
indicated lockdown to be the very effective measures for controlling air pollution. The
present object eventually worked on this direction to look upon the air quality status
amidst the lockdown period scientifically with special reference to the city Bhopal on
the basis of air quality data of four pollutant parameters (PM10, PM2.5, NO2, and O3) continuous ambient air quality monitoring stations of Bhopal city. We have employed
Air Quality Index (AQI) to show the status of air quality in pre and during-lockdown
phases. The results indicated that during lockdown, air quality is significantly
improved. In the midst of the selected pollutants, concentrations of PM10 and PM2.5,
have observed maximum reduction (40%) in comparision to the pre lockdown phase.
Among other pollutants, NO2 (−62%) and O3 (−22%) level have also reduced duringlockdown phase. About 31.2%, reduction in AQI has been observed and found
moderate to good in the city. The present study and measured data supports that
sequestration of carbon emission which were totally under control following almost
complete closure of industrial and transport activities may heal our environment and
ecosystems to be healthier for all living creatures.
The Air Quality index (AIQ) was initially originated and established by Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) of United Stated of America to assess the amount and level
of air pollution caused by the heavenly air pollutants constituents. India has launched
AQI to monitor major air in 2014 in major urban centres across the country on a realtime basis and enhancing public awareness for taking mitigates action to control the
air pollution in the country. The National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) launched in
2019 with a goal of reducing particulate matter by 30% nationwide (MoEFCC, 2019).
When level of the pollutants increase in the environment includes NO 2, NH3, SO2, CO,
Pb and ozone gas but mostly the most harmful pollutants are PM 2.5, PM10 and NO2
due to their abundance in the atmosphere. Therefore, this research work will compare
and contrast the ambient air quality between the pre-lockdown and lockdown period
in Bhopal city.

Title of Talk: Leveraging innovative food technologies towards promoting
sustainable value chains for empowering vulnerable tribal communities postCOVID-19
To ensure nutrition sufficiency in children, pregnant women and lactating
mothers of tribal communities in Telangana, India during times of lockdown,
foods containing millets, sorghum and pulses have been developed by
ICRISAT and provided at their doorsteps1. The food products are scientifically
formulated to promote dietary diversity and are produced using locally
available nutritious millets and protein rich pulses. These foods are also rich
sources of dietary fibre, minerals, vitamins, and bioactives beneficial for
boosting immunity and keeping the tribal population healthy. Further, eight
food processing units to be managed by tribal women-led Joint Liability Groups
(JLGs), are being operationalised to produce these nutritious convenience
foods, using locally grown crops. The key to success, of empowering local
communities and making them sustainable, is in leveraging appropriate food
technologies and ensuring that skillsets in the areas of food processing, food
safety and business development are transferred and acquired by the local
communities. The talk shall discuss the above mentioned aspects and focus
on the urgent need to evolve sustainable local value chains around local food
production, local value addition and local consumption to make vulnerable
tribal communities resilient post-COVID-19.

Title of the Talk: Characterization of Petroleum and its Products
Crude oil or petroleum is a naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbons with other
elements such as sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen, etc. appearing in the form of organic
compounds. The mixture of hydrocarbons is highly complex, and the complexity
increases with boiling range. The instrumental techniques of chromatography,
ultraviolet and infrared spectroscopy together with mass spectrometry facilitate
knowledge of the detailed hydrocarbon type composition of crude oil. Understanding
the composition, structure, and properties of petroleum results in improved process
conditions for improved yield and quality of products. Thus, studies on petroleum and
its products have utilized several analytical techniques after fractionation to aromatics
and non-aromatics. This talk will address various analytical techniques used to
characterize petroleum and its products.

Title of the Talk: Coronavirus pandemic - A Global crisis of the 21st Century.
A challenging crisis has hit the world since the Second World War. The coronavirus
has affected the day to day life of almost the entire world population killing a large
number of people. It has become a challenging crises for the people in the field of
health and global economy. The coronavirus (Covid19) which has originated in China
has been usually compared to the common influenza flu but it is more contagious and
is spreading in an uncontrollable rate throughout the world. Identification of the
disease at an early stage is vital to control the virus because it spreads rapidly from
person to person. The Covid19 pandemic is regarded as a fast pandemic as the number
of infected people is much larger than the health care system available and thus it is
spreading exponentially region wise.
The fast-growing pandemic can be slowed down by right response by the people until
a vaccine has been developed. Social vaccine can be followed to contain its spread by
practicing social distancing without getting affected but in case the person is affected
than they should maintain the protocol of social distancing so that they should not
infect others.
Thus, the emphasis is on taking extensive precautions such as extensive hygiene
protocol, practicing social distancing, wearing of masks, and so on. Countries are
banning gatherings of people to break the exponential curve. Many countries are
locking their population and enforcing strict quarantine to control the spread of the
havoc of this highly communicable disease.

Accordingly the passing out educated youth are suggested to go for
'Entrepreneurship.' Setting up of own manufacturing units or
own business setup is the best option before an educated person
instead of searching for a job. He becomes a service provider to
others. Govt . also provides financial supports . in the form of
subsidy, incentive, soft loan , working capital , Credit Gurantee
Scheme, purchase preference to small scale manufacturers
etc.Besides Industry there are other scope like PM Generic Drug
Scheme, Patent Agent, Trade mark agent, Repacking, etc .Hence the
educated youth should be inspired to set up their own manufacturing,
sales,consultancy, or Patent & Trade mark agent.

The outburst of the novel coronavirus – 2019 and its rapid spread over worldwide (SARSCOV 2) has reached Pandemic status. While Government, health workers etc are playing
their role whereas Scientist across the world is trying to understand the virus and trying to
develop vaccine for treatment of affected people. In present talk I will discuss the important
part played by some of analytical tools to fight against the Pandemic. These analytical tools
play a huge role in the field of structural biology. The vast majority of biological
macromolecules structures are obtained by X- Ray Crystallography and cryo – EM. Going
back to 1934, John Desmond Bernal and Dorothy Hodgkin recorded the first X- ray
diffraction pattern of a crystallized protein, the digestive enzyme Pepsin. Even if molecules
refuse to be crystallized, there is still the chance of obtaining structure using cryo – EM. In
a cryo – EM, a solution containing the biomolecules or complex of interest is applied to a
sample holder or grid, as a thin layer. The grid is flash – frozen in liquid ethane to vitrify the
sample, which is then imaged by the electron microscope with low doses of electrons to
minimize radiation damage.
The analysis of SARS – CoV – 2 is a prime example of this. On 5th February China declares
existence of the new coronavirus. Thanks to cryo – EM, we are able to obtain the structure
of an outer “spike” protein of SARS – CoV – 2 that is believed to enable the new virus to
weasel its way into host cell. The structure of the external spike is very useful for creating
coronavirus vaccine than drugs. The knowledge of viral structures we are able to exploit
structure biology to understand immunity to diseases and also can even be used to design
synthetic “ therapeutic antibodies ” to directly attack diseased cells. It is too early to predict
how long it will take to develop drugs or vaccines for SARS – CoV – 2. Several laboratories
are trying to develop the vaccine, but even if it is successful, it could still take up to one and
half years for it to be available to the public.
Keywords: Analytical Tools, Structural biology, SARS - CoV – 2, X - ray Crystallography
and cryo – EM.

Title of the Talk: COVID-19 Diagnosis: Current status and Challenges
The COVID-19 pandemic has put millions of lives around the globe on stake. Rapid
accurate and cost-effective diagnostic procedures will be a great help in the combat
against the SARS-CoV-2 infection. The current diagnostic procedures include
Molecular biology-based, serological, or CT scan based methods. Importantly, qRT
PCR is the most widely used technique presently with techniques like digital droplet
PCR are also evolving in awake drawbacks like multiple processing steps in the earlier
one. Although Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)
based detection techniques are developed still it has not been used for clinical samples.
Additionally, serological tests like ELISA can be used for detection. Visualization of
the infected organs through CT scan is advantageous as being non-invasive, less time
and labour intensive. However, the accuracy and specificity of the technique is a
concern. Besides, other techniques like liver function testing can be taken into
consideration. With the disadvantages of the currently available diagnosis techniques
development of new or modification of the currently available techniques is
inevitable.

Various chemicals like anhydrous Na2CO3, marseilles soap, soda, ethylene diamine,
tartaric acid and urea are used for degumming of silk cocoon shell. Chemical induced
increased solubility of sericin protein results release of sericin from the fibroin protein
of the silk but obtained silk thread shows the loss of natural color and softness.
Cocoonase is an important proteolytic enzyme that dissolve silk cocoon shell for the
exit of silk moth. Cocoonase digest the sericin protein at the anterior portion of the
cocoon without disturbing the silk fibroin. Here detailed characterization of
cocoonase and sericin proteins, phylogenetic analysis, secondary and tertiary structure
prediction and computational validation as well as their interaction with other proteins
has been studied. Further, cocoonase collection, its purification and effect on silk sheet
degumming, Scanning Electron Microscope based comparison of chemical and
enzyme treated cocoon sheets, as well as its Optical Coherence Tomography-based
imaging analysis have been investigated and will be discussed.

Title of Talk: Aquatic Environs at the Border Districts of Jharkhand and Bihar
Water belongs to the world, not to an individual. It plays a vital role in our existence
on the earth. Therefore, we need to use water judiciously. Our carelessness act leads
to contamination of surface and subsurface water. It may include our ill activities on
the surface, or it may be due to over-extraction of groundwater. Availability of
potable water is threatened now in many parts of the world. Groundwater is the prime
source for drinking purposes for the residents in the study area. Based on
Geographical Information System (GIS) and proper analytical procedures used, the
spatial water pollution characteristics were visualized, and potential polluted risky
regions were identified in the border districts of Jharkhand and Bihar. Physicochemical water quality parameters such as pH, Temperature, EC, DO, Total
dissolved solids (TDS), ORP, salinity, major cations, and major anions were assessed
as per standard protocol. Jharkhand is a naturally blessed land with the immense
mineral potential whereas Bihar is in Indo-Gangetic plain so naturally fertile soil is
one asset of the state. The border shared by the two states more or less consists of
many common minerals. Water contamination may be geogenic or anthropogenic.
The analytical results indicate that the general water quality in the study zone has
been found suitable, but pH, TDS and fluoride concentration exceeded the
permissible limit of BIS and WHO at several places. Approximately 21% water
samples were found seriously contaminated with fluoride concentration in certain
common belts. In all these belts, rainwater harvesting is recommended for the
purpose of drinking with simple sustainable processing. The Uranium concentration
in analyzed water samples were found well within the prescribed national (AERB)
limits of 60ppb but the concentration exceeds international (WHO, US EPA) limits
of 30ppb at some places. The conclusions drawn from the research provides useful
and effective information for groundwater pollution control and management. The
correlation coefficient among the measured parameters was determined to find the
dependence, if any, on the concentration of uranium in the water samples.

The experimental setup of applied fieldmagnetoplasmadynamic thruster (MPDT) is a
form of electrically powered spacecraft propulsion system. The thrusters are used for
deep space mission, which consist of long duration, low thrust acceleration and less
propellant storage. A MPDT uses the force on the charged particle by an
electromagnetic field to generate thrust. The MPDT technology takes high discharge
current for two electrodes and solenoid coil as applied field. In the present
investigation the high discharge current is replaced by limited discharge current, it is
reduced by the use of capacitors bank to discharge current for two electrodes. Also the
solenoid coils are replaced by permanent magnet as applied-field to generate thrust.
The basic requirements for MPDT are the power circuit made by capacitors bank of
electrolytic type. The electrolytic capacitors are smaller in size and produces limited
voltage, which will support limited current flowing between the two electrodes. The
material used for anode and cathode are copper and tungsten respectively. A
permanent magnet is fixed over the anode coaxially and cathode is place in center, in
between the two electrodes a propellant will be injected. The propellant gas used in
this thruster is argon, since argon exists as a single atom. This performance of the
thruster is tested in vacuum condition and the thrust value is measure by load cell. The
prototype of the MPDT is tested and measurement of discharge current, thrust, specific
impulse and efficiency are carried out. The thrust for various discharge current is
measured and the efficient operating conditions of the MPDT can be obtained.

In industrialized countries, the air is full of numerous pollutants caused by human activity and
industrial operations, such as CO, chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), heavy metallurgical products (arsenic,
chromium, plumes, cadmium, mercury, zinc), hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxids, organic chemicals
(VOCs and dioxins), sulfide and particulate matter. Acidic rain causing soil infiltration and
contamination is the presence of Nitrogen and Sulphur Oxide in the air. The high levels of
atmospheric nitrogen and sulfur oxide are mainly due to human activities, especially oil, coal and
gas consumption.Just a tiny amount is produced from natural phenomena including seismic activities
and soil bacteria decay. Numerous factors, such as wastewater and oil spills, fertilizer leaking,
herbicides, pesticides and soil by-products and extracted or burned fossil fuels, cause water pollution.
Contaminants are typically calculated at the 'toxic level,' in parts per million (ppm) or parts per
million (ppb).For eg, the toxic amount in the soil is 10 ppm for arsenic, whereas in water 0.002 ppm
for mercury. Even small amounts of a given pollutant may also be harmful. Contaminants are often
found mainly in mixtures. Therefore, technologies that are able to track, identify and preferably
handle these limited quantities of air, water and soil pollutants are needed. In this context,
nanotechnologies offer numerous options for environmental pollution prevention, reduction, sense,
and treatment. Nanotechnologies will enhance, promote, and build new technologies.

Energy is the most important thing a living being requires in his entire life.
However, humans have adapted and learnt to convert the energy to different
forms, thus, making it a little easier in day to day life. Now, almost in every
field, man is capable of using electrical energy with the help of new devices
and equipment which could convert it to the required forms. Though it is
making the day to day life easier, it also has increased the cost we should
pay for the energy consumption. Here, we focus on how the KSEB Ltd. (the
electricity distribution institution in Kerala) estimate bills and check the
background for the current bill estimating system. A discussion on different
ways to reduce the energy consumption is also done.

Indium Oxide (𝐼𝑛2 𝑂3 ) doped thin films were deposited on substrates at various temperatures (100 –
600 °C) by using X- ray diffraction technique. An X-ray diffractometer was used to investigate the
structural properties of the thin films. The grain size and the roughness of the thin films increased
with increasing growth temperature.The transmittances of the thin films measured with a
spectrophotometer were used to derive the band gap energies of the thin films. Indium
Oxides𝐼𝑛2 𝑂3thin film has drawn attention for researchers due to its excellent optical and electrical
conducting properties. The band gap energies of 𝐼𝑛2 𝑂3 doped thin films were found to be larger and
the band gap energy was found to decrease with increasing growth temperature. A spectrometer was
used to investigate the photo luminescent (PL) properties of the thin films. All of the thin films
showed near-band-edge emission and no deep-level emissions. This is due to the compensation of
the oxygen vacancies in the thin films.

Intervention of technological approaches in food production system for viable
quality and safety of food
Owais Yousuf
Integral University, Lucknow
Assistant Professor, Department or Bioengineering, Integral University, Lucknow, UP, India,
Food product in a food production follows a system, which starts with the production and storage of
raw materials and continues, through processing, packaging, distribution and preparation in the
household, to the table of the consumer. To ensure safety at the end of the system, safety needs to be
addressed throughout the food system, from the farmer to the consumer. Ensuring food quality and
safety is necessary to provide adequate protection for consumers and to facilitate trade. These
objectives can be achieved by implementing and monitoring quality and safety assurance measures
along the entire food production system. Everyone involved with food, from the farmer to the
consumer, shares in the responsibilities to keep the food supply safe by taking the necessary
precautions to keep food protected from hazards that can increase human health risks. These actions
will also prevent or reduce food losses, which is especially important in those situations where food
security is threatened. Food safety assurance involves a series of preventive measures or approaches
all along the food production system which include good manufacturing practice (GMP), Good
Hygiene Practice (GHP), Hazard Analysis Critical Control System (HACCP). Besides food safety
systems food legislations are also there to ensure the food quality and safety at various levels. Food
legislation defines acceptable maximum levels of toxins or contaminants in food products. When
these are exceeded, safety problems may occur. Food safety is often limited to the legal standards
for the upper safe limits of microbial contamination or the lower limits of vitamins, minerals and
trace elements in a product as it leaves the factory. This approach is too restrictive since it does not
take into account all the factors related the whole system of food production. In order to overcome
this problem various technological approaches have been developed in recent years which can be
incorporated in order to ensure the food safety in the whole food production system. This title thus
gives an idea about the different technologies which can be incorporated in order to assure food
quality and safety in overall food production system.

The mechanism of gene silencing by RNAi is one of the most ancient and natural way in all the
kingdoms of living beings. It existed even before the origin of life on Earth around four billion years
ago during the ‘RNA world’ wherein RNA acted both as genetic material and catalyst of several
enzymatic reactions. In this review, the underlying mechanism of RNA interference has been
explained in detail with emphasis on plant integrated pest control. The RNAi mediated gene silencing
has wider potential particularly in plants disease management. The RNAi mechanism has an
unexplored potential in controlling the plant diseases and thus improving crop yield. As the
exponentially growing world population needs new and high yielding crop varieties that can survive
all the extremes of environmental conditions starting from global warming to sudden natural
calamities. Furthermore, the recent understanding of RNAi and in detailed mechanism has changed
our perspective of RNA mediated gene regulation. It has been largely used as a research tool to
regulate the expression of particular genes in various experimental organisms, viz., Arabidopsis,
Tobacco, Wheat, Maize, Drosophilla, mice, etc. Additionally, the invading dsRNA has more to do
then only silencing the genes, i.e. regulation of developmental genes, controlling DNA and chromatin
modification through methylation. Therefore, in this review the potential of RNAi with respect to
plants pest control and high yield is taken into consideration.

Technological Challenges in Challenging Times in Education
Dr Ritu and Dr. Priyanka Agarwal
Department of Human Resources
Amity Business School, Noida| Amity University
Educational technology is a field of study that investigates the process of analyzing, designing,
developing, implementing, and evaluating the instructional environment and learning
materials in order to improve teaching and learning. It is important to keep in mind that the
purpose of educational technology (also referred to as instructional technology) is to improve
education. We must define the goals and needs of education first and then we use all our
knowledge, including technology, to design the most effective learning environment for
students. Instructional technology can also be seen as a process of solving educational problems
and concerns, which might include motivation, discipline, the drop-out rate, school violence,
basic skills, critical thinking, and the whole list of educational concerns. First, the problem is
identified, an analysis of the factors of the problem is made, and possible solutions to the
problem are presented. Then, the student population and the curriculum are analyzed. The
next step is to select the most appropriate instructional strategies for the particular situation.
Next, instructional materials and resources are selected that are suitable for the curriculum
and the mode of instruction chosen. Finally, the program is implemented, evaluated, and
revised as needed in order to meet the stated goals for school improvement. Some major
challenges in education are :
Challenge 1: professional development. Key among all challenges is the lack of adequate,
ongoing professional development for teachers who are required to integrate new technologies
into their classrooms yet who are unprepared or unable to understand new technologies.All
too often, when schools mandate the use of a specific technology, teachers are left without the
tools (and often skills) to effectively integrate the new capabilities into their teaching methods.
The results are that the new investments are underutilized, not used at all, or used in a way
that mimics an old process rather than innovating new processes that may be more engaging
for students.Challenge 2: resistance to change. Resistance to technology comes in many forms,
but one of the key resistance challenges identified in the report is "comfort with the status
quo." It is often seen that technological experimentation is outside the scope of their job
descriptions.Challenge 3: MOOCs and other new models for schooling. New in this year's
report, new models for teaching and learning are providing "unprecedented competition to
traditional models of schooling.

Recently, the impacts of Corona virus are apparent everywhere on various sectors economic wealth,
manufacturing, tourism, hospitality, travel and also affect many people globally. COVID-19 is an
enveloped, positive sense and single stranded RNA virus from the family of ‘Coronaviridae’ and
also known as ‘Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which spreading
rapidly and claimed more than 4.6 lakhlives worldwide among the 200 countries. The various
observations, which are going on gradually reflect that COVID 19 basically transmit with a close
contact of person to person through small droplets of cough and sneezing and even from pet animals
to persons as per recent reports with multiple unconfined symptoms. Still we could not discover any
effective drug or vaccines to overcome this deadly pandemic virus except social distancing and
hygienic conditions as preventive measures for inhibiting the spreading and transmission of this
COVID 19. In current scenario, Biotechnology has opened new horizon to overcome this pandemic
disease by providing advanced Molecular Diagnostic Tools like RT PCR, ELISA and Monoclonal
Antibodies etcfor the immediate identification and confirmation of this Corona virus for taking
preventive measures or quarantine as earliest. Lot of research work is going on by the several reputed
Institutes and private health companies for getting effective treatments of Corona virus and recent
researches provide better hope which warrants more clinical trials for the formulation of safe
drugs and vaccination with minimal side effects for the human.

Department of Chemistry, Agrawal Kanya Mahavidhyalay college. Gangapur city.
COVID-19, a respiratory syndrome, a novel pandemic, now known as SARS-CoV2, previously
known with the name of 2019-nCoV is in breaking headlines globally. It was announced as global
public health emergency by World Health Organization on January 30, 2020. The mode of
transmission s from person to person through close contact. The symptoms include fever (by 89% of
patients), muscles and joint pain, fatigue, appetite loss, cough, diarrhea, nausea are also seen. The
complications include ARDS Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, pneumonia, septic shock,
Guillain-Barre Syndrome which includes loss of motor functions. The target organs are lungs and
upper respiratory tract through an enzyme called Angiotensin Converting Enzyme-2
(ACE-2). The virus enters the body through nose, mouth or ears on contact with contaminated
surfaces or infectious person. The virus can stay for four hours on copper, three days on stainless steel
and plastic, one day on cardboard. Decontamination of surfaces is done easily by household
disinfectant. The virus is connected to acute respiratory illness having zoonotic origin belonging to
genus Betacoronavirus and subgenus Sarbecovirus which shows 96% of molecular similarity with
bats. Classical Serum Biomarkers have also been noticed in the patients. People are diagnosed with
nasopharyngeal swabs. Blood samples are also used as samples and are required twice with the
interval of two weeks. Preventive measures includes social distancing, hand washing with soap,
avoid crowded areas, using face masks, using alcohol based sanitizer with 60% of alcohol.
Medications include retonavir, lopinavir, hydroxychloroquine, chloroquine, and remedesivir. Further
it is also revealed that SARS CoV-2 is not inhibited by oseltamivir, in vitro, nor it has any role in the
treatment of COVID-19. Worldwide there are 5,360,296 cases received till now abd 341,820 deaths
due to the infection and India has recorded 1,23,081 cases so far.

engineering, Villupuram, India
Diabetic Retinopathy is the chronic eye diseases. This disease cannot be cured. Diabetic Retinopathy
diseases cause vision loss. The 2D retinal funds images are used in Diabetic Retinopathy
identification. The optical cup and disc segmentation is done by super pixel classification for
Diabetic Retinopathy screening. O ptic disc segmentation process used the k-mean clustering
algorithm to classify the super pixel as disc or non -disc. O ptic cup segmentation process using
clustering ANN algorithm and Gaussian filter is used to enhance the performance of the segmented
cup and disc value to find the CDR value . In this paper CDR value is compared with threshold to
identify the Diabetic Retinopathy and find whether it is healthy or Diabetic Retinopathytous.
The segmentation of retinal image allows the ophthalmologists to perform the vision screening
examination designed for early detection of Diabetic Retinopathy and its treatment planning. For
better segmentation performance Spartan 3FPGA hardware is used. The programming is done in
MATLAB and further processing be carried out using FPGA. For the software implementation
Xilinx platform is used.

The pandemic Covid 19 has transformed the entire world. The government is saying stay home and
stay safe. The entire working environment used to happen in the offices and universities. Now it’s
happening in the home only. In this crucial time, technology is playing a vital role. All the meetings
between nations, states and press meets are happening through virtual mode. The flipped class
approach is an approach using by many IITs. The flipped classroom is a pedagogical approach that
moves course content from the classroom to homework, and uses class time for engaging activities
and instructor-guided problem solving. The use of Information and Communication Technologies
(ICTs) in education is provide to expand access, eliminate exclusion and increases the quality in
education in terms of learning. In general, ICTs are a set of different technological tools and
resources, used to communicate, develop, spread, save and manage information. Within the
educational context, ICTs promote digital literacy by generating essential skills and abilities. In this
paper our focus is that how chemistry subject can be taught to the engineering students using concept
of flipped using moodle software. Teaching chemistry required lot of practicals and many formulas.
It’s a challenging to teach chemistry virtually than traditional mode. The purposed model of flipped
class approach will be explained in this paper.

In every century, few invisible infectious diseases create the alarm to entire world and which leads
to exterminate the population. In 1918 and 2019, the world has tackled truculent diseases such as
Spanish flu and COVID 19. After 100 years’ same history was repeated in 2019 through COVID 19.
The end of 2019, the series of pneumonia cases of unknown origin emerged in Wuhan (Hubei,
China). Globally, as of 6:08pm CEST, 1 July 2020, there have been 10,357,662 confirmed cases of
COVID-19, including 508,055 deaths, reported to WHO. These kind of outbreaks make medical,
social and financial burden to the entire world and breaksmental health and creates panic, anxiety
and depression. Pharmaceutical preventive measures are not supported during pandemics which was
rectified by non-pharmaceutical preventive steps like lockdown, quarantine, wearing face mask and
gloves, washing hands and applying sanitizer, follow the social distancing, closing cinema hall and
schools, avoiding mass gathering. The main objective of this review to summarize the concepts of
COVID 19 pandemic and how the people of world need to come together and fight against common
enemy, to warrant that we have the best scientific resources necessary to bring this outbreak to an
end.

Pandemic Effect
Dr. Ishita Ghosh
Assistant Professor in Physics, B.A. College of Engineering & Technology, Jamshedpur
When the entire world is reeling under the COVID 19 pandemic effect and the tensed human race is
struggling to return back to the normalcy of life, the one thing which has become very active is the
grey cells of our brain. The pandemic effect has cut down our physical limits due to the movement
constraints. But it is thankfully unable to restrict the ticking of the grey cells of the human brain. As
is said, “Necessity is the mother of the invention”. Sure enough!! We can be extremely pleased to
know that the innovative surge in science and technology continues unabated in this lockdown
period. The prime requirement of the pandemic effect is social distancing, less physical contact and
keeping ourselves away from infection by corona virus. Keeping this necessity in mind, the doctors,
the engineers, the researchers as well as the students’ community are keeping themselves busy in
pumping out the solutions to the currently faced problems. The outputs include automatic masks
machines, low cost PPE’s, automatic wash basins, suitable ventilators, sanitizer tunnels etc. This
review paper looks into the innovative surge already made and what more can be churned out for the
effective social safety in this tensed pandemic effect. The most awaited news as of now is the
successful implementation of an effective vaccine and cost effective drugs which can help the human
beings breathe easy. The pandemic effect has also showed us the way for a cleaner and greener
nature. It is now a challenge to the intellectual world to come up with inexpensive, innovative and
smart solutions which will make our beautiful planet safer, greener, cleaner and worthier to live in.

Environmental and Social Impact Assessment on Management of Combustible gases
Dr. K. Mythili*
Assistant professor, Faculty of Pharmacy, Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher education and
Research (Deemed to be University), Chennai
Combustibility is a measure of how easily a substance bursts into flame, through fire or combustion.
This is an important property to consider when a substance is used for construction or is being stored.
It is also important in processes that produce combustible substances as a by-product. Combustible
gases include natural gas, methane, butane, propane and hydrogen. Combustible gas-air mixtures can
be burned over a wide range of concentrations. The actual minimum concentration varies from about
0.5% to about 15% by volume in air for most common Chlorinated hydrocarbons (CHCs). Special
precautions and measures are usually required for substances that are easily combustible.

It has been demonstrated in the recent literature that, supported copper catalysts can exhibit superior
CO-PROX performance than that of noble metal-based catalysts. The of unreduced copper
(Cu2+/Cu+1) plays animportant role. The stability of unreduced copper phase against reduction to Cu0
phase under the CO-PROX conditions has been demonstrated as the crucial factor in the catalyst
preparation for CO-RPOX application. The stability of unreduced copper phase has been influenced
mainly by CuO loading, method of CuO loading, size/morphology of CeO2 support, preparation
method of the oxide supports and the nature of other dopants/modifiers mixed in the catalysts.
Numerous methods have been developed to prepare CuO+CeO2 combination catalysts. The
comparison of various methods reveals that, catalysts prepared by simple impregnation method have
shown the best CO-PROX performance in terms of complete CO conversion.

“Preventive And Curative Role Of Homoeopathy In Associated Comorbidies And Covid-19".
Dr. Panna Lal
(Associate Professor Pathology)
Govt. Sri Durga Ji Homoeopathic Medical College, Chandeshwar, Azamgarh Lucknow, Up.
COVID-19 has been emerged as a Global Medical Emergency and grabbed Whole World due to the
unavailability of pertinent Treatments and Vaccines. In this current scenario of COVID-19 pandemic outbreak
a preventive and curative treatment protocol to counter the diseases with symptoms similar to COVID-19 is
needed. Based on the Clinical Observation, Collaborative Research, Institutional Research Programme
conducted in several infectious and noninfectious diseases around the world and the results obtained from
homoeopathic medicinal interventions are very effective in Preventive and Curative aspects. This research
proposal also has been proposed for treatment and management of Autoimmune Diseases, Metabolic
Disorders, Immunocompromised Diseases, Infectious and Noninfectious Diseases, and Opportunistic
infections, Psychosomayic Diseases. Using this protocol Comorbidities will be successfully managed,
prevented, and treated with Homoeopathic Drugs. The conventional systems of medicine are
recommending hydroxy chloroquine, antiretroviral drugs and its polydrug combinations. This will increase
the load of Comorbidities as a result of drugs complications and side effects. Due to the over use of broad
spectrum antibiotics, steroids chances of mutations in SARS-CoV-2 virus might be happen and make it more
dangerous to handle. In this context we propose a customized Homoeopathic medicinal intervention
protocol for prevention and treatment of diseases with similar symptoms of COVID-19 and its mutants. The
dynamization process used in Homoeopathic drug manufacturing can tune the physicochemical properties
of homoeopathic drugs through manipulation of its nanodimensional structure-property relationship.
Homoeopathic drugs can act in three functional domains in human body including genome, virome and
microbiota. strongly believe that by correcting the quantum biological errors, undesirable mutations and
bioenvironmental variations in these three pivotal control domains in human biological system we can treat
infectious, noninfectious and autoimmune diseases. The overall Research facts which came out about the
COVID-19, show that Coronavirus is highly Contagious in nature and Cytokines Storms are responsible for
ACUTE RESPIRATORY SYNDROME and Vital Organs Failures. And most likely to die are those whose bodies
react in a signature, catastrophic way. Immune cells flood and attack the lungs they should be protecting.
Blood vessels leak; the blood itself clots. Blood pressure plummets and organs start to fail. About such cases,
doctors and scientists increasingly believe, are due to an immune system gone overboard — so that it harms
instead of helps.

The Coronaviruses (CoVs) are a group of viruses which affects human beings through zoonotic
transmission. The first case of Covid-19 was reported on December 31, 2019 in Wuhan, China. As
the cause of infection was not known it was termed as “pneumonia of unknown etiology”.
However, on January 12, 2020, WHO identified that Corona virus was the cause of this infection
and later on 11th February, WHO Director-General announced this novel CoV as ‘COVID-19’ which
is an acronym of ‘Corona virus disease 2019’ (Cascella et al., 2020). The structural composition of
Covid-19 virus contains a single-stranded RNA as nuclei material and is 65 nm - 125 nm in diameter

Fly Ash a Better Worthwhile Supportable Material for Green
Concrete
Dr. Anita Bhatia
S.S. Jain Subodh P.G. Autonomous College, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur, India.
The challenge of the present century is to make a transition to the new form that can sustain the
natural system. This requires a threadbare rethinking on ways and means of providing shelter and
infrastructure for the community. Perhaps there is a necessity of making a concerted movement for
developing innovative and alternative novel material for construction. The use of fly ash is increasing
with innovation in present scenario. The utilization of waste product (fly ash) in the manufacturing
of new product is a challenging job. The Natural Resource decreases in a short period and therefore
the use of waste product is necessary. Green concrete is a concept of using eco-friendly materials in
concrete, to make the system more and more sustainable. This concrete should not be confused with
its color. There are many choices of selection of materials in any type of constructions. Fly ash is not
highly reactive; the heat of hydration can be reduced through replacement of part of cement with fly
ash. Industrial waste such as marble powder, quarry dust, flies ash etc. to reduce consumption of
natural resource and energy and pollution of the environment
This paper approaches concrete mix designs where cement is replaced by high amounts of fly ash,
with the purpose of turning it into a more sustainable construction material, that is, an authentic green
concrete. These wastes utilization would not only be economical, but may also help to create a
sustainable and pollution free environment.

Environmental Issues Pertaining to Covid-19
Renu Rastogi
Associate Professor, Department of Chemistry. Brahmanand College, Kanpur
The current pandemic situation needs no introduction and has caused a worldwide unrest.COVID19 is deadly respiratory disease caused by a virus named CORONA. No certain medicine or vaccine
has been made available yet to control the disease; hence the social distancing, via lockdown has
been adopted nationwide as the only possible measure of prevention. Even though each country has
implemented lockdown with different intensities, the world has come to a stand still. As in India, the
nationwide Janta Curfew on 22nd March 2020 and the ongoing lockdown which began on the 24th
March 2020 have resulted in remarkable improvement in the air quality of the country, as revealed
by analysis and comparison of data for time before such restrictions were enforced with the current
data. Therefore, lockdowns against coronavirus has worked well for the environment as nature seems
to be rejuvenating, effects of which can be seen (cleaner air and an improved water quality). The
lockdown did put a pause on our modern social life but the progressive effects it had on environment
are worth the loss. Like every coin, the impact on nature also has two facets. Not all the
environmental consequences are positive like the increase in volume of unrecyclable waste. A
conscious effort is required to adopt nature-based solutions or the country will revert back to the prelockdown pollution level which can further render our country vulnerable to the next crisis.
The takeaway from this ongoing pandemic, once the nations come to term with the novel coronavirus
is that environmental regulations should be focused on along with transport and industry regulations
to ease the detrimental impacts of human activities on the environment.
Key words: Corona, environment, pandemic, pollution, lockdown.

little about transmission process of COVID-19, filtering materials of masks, benefits of using
masks, thoughts of people using mask, Governments policies about concerning of mask and route
of the transmission of COVID-19 by presymptomatic and asymptomatic individuals. There are
specific two general ways to reduce the pandemic; first, maintaining the social distance, frequent
hand washing ,self isolation. Second, use the face mask properly in public and maintain the proper
guideline. It is proved that mask wearing reduces the transmission of the virus by reducing
transmission of harmful infected droplets. Here we give protection to our health by using low cost
intervention tool like mask. So, we should request people to wear mask and maintain the proper
guideline and absolutely it will reduce the spread of the disease.

Repercussion of COVID-19 ON educationsystem
Miss Anupriya Pathak
Electrical Engineering,
Shri Krishna University, Chhatarpur (M.P.) , India
March 2020 will forever be known in the education community as the month when almost all the
world’s schools shut their doors. On March 1, six governments instituted nationwide school and
universities or institutions closures due to the deadly coronavirus pandemic, and by the end of the
month, 185 countries had closed, affecting 90 percent of the world’s students. The speed of these
closures and the rapid move to distance learning(digital learning) has allowed little time for planning
or reflection on both the potential risks to safeguard against and the potential opportunities to
leverage.
The development of the informational society and the widespread diffusion of information
technology give rise to new opportunities for learning and they challenge established views and
practices regarding how teaching and learning should be organized and carried out. At the same time,
globalization and the emergence of new players in the world economy have intensified competition,
many countries turning production towards high value-added and knowledge-intensive products
and services which request high-level skills labor force. Lifelong learning concept offers the prospect
of a radical new approach especially for the higher educational process focused on the opening up
traditional universities for those who want to learn lifelong. In the same time, educational
institutions, universities most of all, are facing a number of challenges: globalization, aging society;
growing competition between higher educational institutions both national and international, and
rapid technological development. To answer successfully to all these challenges, in the opinion of
most of the specialists, traditional universities must transform themselves by adopting a lifelong
learning system. This system will transform how universities currently teach. To achieve this
transformation, universities will have to introduce strategies and policies which implement flexible
academic frameworks, innovative pedagogical approaches, new forms of assessments and
institutional collaboration.in the same time challenges and therefore the innovation opportunities lie
in expanding access, developing excellence in institutions, making them more equitable and at the
same offering education at affordable prices, as shown below:

Mohammad Owais, Aamiranwar , Farrukh Sheikh, Rufaidawasim, Laiba rind
Faculty of Pharmacy, Integral University, Kursi Road, Lucknow- 226026, India
In this review, we aimed to gather the prevoius years data of benzoxazole derivative, which shows
significant anti-inflammatory activity. There are many NSAIDs are available in the market, but
due to the serious side effects of NSAIDs i.e. GI irritation and kidney damage, there is still needed
to develop NSAIDs with lesser side effects. Since benzoxazole moiety shows significant antiinflammatory activities due to their structural similarities with biomolecule like adenine and
guanine, hence easily interact with biopolymer in the living system. This review is helpful for the
researchers attempting to develop new anti-inflammatory agents that could be better efficacy and
safety.

The entire world is battling Corona virus Disease (COVID-19), where social distancing is the new
standards to maintain a strategic distance from the spread of the contamination. All nations are
progressively engaged to cure the patients infected with COVID-19. Amidst this circumstance, the
health care framework is taking on a combat to adapt up to the necessary number of staffs, medical
clinic beds and other medicinal services expectations for patients and even required protective kits
for specialists, attendants or different paramedics. Non-communicable diseases, for example,
Diabetes, Cardiovascular sickness, Chronic Kidney disease and other disease patients confronting
loads of issues to get regular check-up & follow the treatment compliance with their primary care
physicians. Monitoring wellbeing of individuals becomes essential in this 'New Normal' post
COVID-19 modern world utilizing technological advances. These new technological advances
permit us to screen and monitor the patients all the time on a regular basis, replacing the necessities
of hospitalization and successive visit of the specialists or medical attendant for regular check-ups.
The project is about remote monitoring of the patients suffering with Non Communicable Diseases
(NCD) and to assist them with staying in their homes instead of move to an assisted-living facility
or nursing home every now and then. This innovation helps record vital parameters through
sensory devices and communicates to others. Patients with chronic diseases, for example, coronary
illness, malignancy, diabetes, stroke etc. are monitored by basic functions constantly. A cloud
database stores the information, for example, heart rate, pulse and temperature received from
sensors, and after a timeframe, this technique can determine an idle data of the monitoring body.
This idle rate is compared with each new sensor capture information and can determine the normal
and abnormal inconsistency with network connectivity through Internet of Things (IoT).

Department of Biochemistry & Biotechnology, Annamalai University, Annamalainagar-608002
This review aims to summarize and discuss the role of plant-based nutrition as an adjunct to the
management of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Discussion of nutrition and the benefits of a plantbased diet should be highlighted during healthcare provider visits as an essential part of the overall
CVD prevention and management care plan.
Recent findings: The concept of using phytochemicals has ushered in a new revolution in
pharmaceuticals. Naturally occurring have gained importance because of their minimal side
effects, low cost and abundance. The protective effects of these foods are likely mediated through
their multiple beneficial nutrients, including mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids, omega-3 fatty
acids, antioxidant vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, fiber, and plant protein. In addition,
minimizing intake of animal proteins has been shown to decrease the prevalence of CVD risk
factors. Substantial evidence indicates that plant-based diets can play an important role in
preventing and treating CVD and its risk factors. Such diets deserve more emphasis in dietary
recommendations.

The outbreak of a new world health crisis threatening the public in
different parts of the world is a major concern for all the administrative
units of respective countries. The COVID-19 epidemic has become a
pandemic in a matter of 3 months since the first cases were reported
internationally, spreading beyond China to all continents of the world.
The virus outbreak has been declared a public health emergency of
International concern by World Health Organization (WHO).
India is also going through a tough time in controlling the virus. It has
managed its growth rate with the help of National lockdown and by
imposing certain strict measures in the entire nation but however some
uncontrolled mass level events have negatively impacted the number of
active cases causing the events to become the ‘super spreader’ of the virus
in the entire nation.
In this review the mechanism of spreading the COVID-19 virus in the
human body have been summarized which leads to deterioration of
human health’s and even mortality.
Further, spread of virus in the five most affected nations have been
discussed. A comprehensive discussion with the help of data sources (till
30th June 2020) has been presented. The pattern and trends of the number
of active cases, recovery rates and death in the five nations along with the
measures taken for its effective control has been discussed.

The eruption of epidemic coronavirus named COVID-19 has impeded the growth of the Indian
economy. The evolution of the disease and its economic impact is highly uncertain which makes
it difficult for policymakers to formulate an appropriate macroeconomic policy. Amidst the
slowing down of the Chinese economy with interruptions to production, the functioning of global
supply chains has been disrupted. COVID-19 virus has resulted in the lockdown of schools,
offices, factories, temples, railway stations, and even the airspace. It is estimated that due to the
lockdown, the Indian economy may face prolonged adverse impact. Both domestic and
international transportation being put to halt has further decelerate Indian economic activities. The
uncertainties have created panic among household sector which has distorted regular consumption
trend and constituted market anomalies. The paper is an attempt to ascertain the impact of
lockdown on the Indian economy and explore future perspective. The study has addressed
important issues like consumption expenditure, demand & supply, unemployment rate, purchasing
power, financial market, etc. Under the given circumstances, the lockdown will cost India around
USD 120 bn. The manufacturing and service sector has come to an abrupt stop and interrupted
domestic supply chains.If this crisis continuous it will indirectly affect all economic sectors. The
study has given suggestions as a learning curve which can be used by different stakeholder to
improve the economic situation of the country and minimize negative effect of lockdown.

Prof. Rekha Mahajan, Professor & Head, Department of Education
JEMTEC, Greater Noida, UP
During ‘COVID 19’ pandemic situation, the regular classes were suspended, and online classes
were conducted for the Semester II and Semester IV for 78 and 98 students, respectively for five
weeks. The feedback from students were taken at the end of week on Saturday for five weeks. The
objective of the study was to understand the utility of online classes in comparison to regular
classroom classes and to understand the problem of the students during online classes. The results
indicated that online classes were not able to compensate for participation of students and
interaction with the teacher to clear their doubts. The face-to-face interaction of students and
teacher is essential. However, it was possible to improve the objectives of the clear understanding
of online session, to cover the topics as per course curriculum and organizing the contents which
were easy to follow. The online teaching was not able to compensate the practical hands-on teacher
training wherein the teacher is in one-to-one interaction with its pupil. It was recommended to plan
online teaching training programmes for teachers online teaching may also be included a part of
the course curriculum and this will become a reality in the future teaching programmes in school
and colleges.

Brimonidine, an anti-glaucoma medicine, acts as an adrenergic agonist which decreases the
synthesis of aqueous humour and increases the amount of drainage through Schlemm's canal and
trabecular meshwork, but shows dose-dependent (0.2% solution thrice daily) toxicity. To reduce
the side effects and improve the efficacy, brimonidine was nanoencapsulated on ultra-small-sized
chitosan nanoparticles (nanobrimonidine) (28 ± 4 nm). This nanocomplex showed burst, half, and
complete release at 0.5, 45, and 100 h, respectively. Nanobrimonidine did not show any in
vitro toxicity. The nanobrimonidine-treated trabeculectomy tissue of glaucoma patients showed
better dilation of the trabecular meshwork under the electron microscope. This is direct evidence
for better bioavailability of nanobrimonidine after topical administration. Thus, the developed
nanobrimonidine has the potential to improve the efficacy, reduce dosage and frequency, and
improve delivery to the anterior chamber of the eye.

Alzheimer’s disease accounts for most of the causes for dementia. Due to the prevalence, morbidity
and mortality factors they represent medical, social and financial burden on the society. Although
many drugs already exist, most of the drugs are exclusively for symptomatic relief. No drug is
known to control or stop the total mechanism of Alzheimer’s disease. Therefore, thorough and indepth knowledge of the various targets of Alzheimer’s disease is necessary for the effective
progress in the better understanding and development of potential targeted drugs to treat the
disease. There are 28 individual targets at the least which can affect the disease progression one
way or the other. This review will discuss both the conventional targets which are used the most
and have been known for a considerable period of time and the novel ones which are relatively
newly discovered and have limited research growth but can be of valuable importance going
forward. The complex nature of a neurodegenerative disease like Alzheimer’s has also made
design of multi-target therapeutics possibilities imperative. Conventional targets such as
cholinesterase and β-secretase enzymes are discussed and multi-target therapies with targets such
as monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) inhibitor and cholinesterase, β-secretase aspartyl protease
(BACE-1) are also focused.

Two structurally unique Aggregation Induced Emission (AIE)-active luminogens have been
designed and synthesized based on the furocarbazole skeleton. Such small molecule AIEgens were
distinctively designed based on forbidden planarity and engineered twist in the scaffold to realize
their effects on inducing the emission in the aggregated states. The structures were fully
characterized and thermal stabilities, electronic properties, photophysical and electrochemical
properties were systematically investigated. The unique twist in the molecules as evident from
their X-ray crystal structure along with the short intermolecular interactions ameliorates the
structural rigidification and restricts the detrimental π-π stacking interactions, restricting the
internal rotations (RIR) accompanied by curbing the ICT process, resulting in the enhanced
emission in the aggregated state. This intriguing luminescent property enabled one of the
luminogen to selectively detect trinitrophenol (TNP) over other nitroaromatics in both aqueous
and organic media in nanomolar concentration. Moreover, the good photostabilities and
biocompatibilities empowered both the luminogens to function as fluorescent bio-probe for cancer
cell imaging.

treatment methodology for heftiness and related metabolic condition [1, 2]. Be that as it may, in
this uncommon worldwide emergency, it is significant that non-earnest facility arrangements and
tasks be delayed so as to monitor assets and diminish dangers of viral transmission [3]. Treatment
for constant sicknesses, for example, weight and metabolic disorder has been delayed, and elective
medical procedures, for example, bariatric tasks have been suspended [4]. In spite of the
continuous pandemic, patients with ceaseless conditions, for example, stoutness and metabolic
disorder ought not be ignored. Likewise, both pre-and post-bariatric medical procedure patients
ought to likewise not be disregarded. Many post-bariatric medical procedure patients, particularly
those post-Roux-en-Y gastric detour (RYGB), may have wholesome inadequacies that require

Fascinating Colored bands having uniform line spacings have been formed in
Methacrylic acid (MA)– Resorcinol (R) - Benzoyl peroxide (BP) - N, N Dimethyl
aniline (DMA) reactive chemical system. These colored patterns and spacing among
the bands were highly dependent upon the concentration of BP. The movement of
wave fronts were showed a dependency on the R and reaction- temperature as well.
The UV- Visible absorption spectra have been measured which shows the presence
of different absorption peaks of polymeric materials. The effect of reactiontemperature on the colored bands patterns formation has been studied properly. It
was observed that band frequency, lifetime, band frequency and front velocity
depend upon temperature. A mechanistic models of color band formation were
developed for present chemical system. It found that these reaction patterns were
formed by frontal polymerization and development of wave fronts were largely
regulated by nonlinear dynamics as discussed. A typical nonlinear mathematical
model for frontal development of colored-bands have been computed and optimized
for the present reaction system.

In the wake of pandemic, most institution of higher education have shuttered
their physical campus for the academic year in developing and developed
countries. About one and half billion students of all primary, secondary and
tertiary education in the world are no longer able to physically go to school and
Universities. The impact has been considerable and transformative as educators
scramble to put in place workable short-term solutions, where students and
schools face additional challenges related to financing and available
infrastructure. While each level of education faces its unique challenges, it is the
higher education segment that may end up, by necessity, accepting a learning
revolution. Universities are typically in that their students are both old enough
to handle the rigours of online work and technologically savvy enough to
navigate new platforms. The real challenge lies for the institutions in which they
have enrolled. Can dean universities adapt by choosing the right technologies and
approaches for educating and engaging their students?

Viruses are a grave threat to human well-being, causing several deaths and
pandemics worldwide. Infections by viruses can cause serious diseases in
both humans and animals. Carbon Dots (CDs) have been extensively
explored and utilized in bio-imaging, bio-sensing, biolabeling,
photodynamic therapy, and drug delivery, however their antiviral
activities have not been explored in depth till date. Nanoscale materials in
the recent years have developed as a promising and competent platform to
modulate the viral infection cycle. The dimensional similarities with manmade nanoparticles can be used to foster interactions and build
nanostructures that can suitably inhibit or inactivate virus replication. In
this manuscript the potential antiviral activities of CDs have been studied
and evaluated. The prospective inferences to promote the growth of these
miraculous particles in the finest way has been stressed.

mechanism, solid-phase nucleation, wave pattern and end-growth of spherulitic crystals. The
experiments showed self-assembly mechanism to be an important parameter which effectively
directed the development the morphology of spherulites. It can be concluded by scanning electron
microscope (SEM), optical microscope (OPM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Particle size
analyzer showed Molecular levels interaction particle size and nature of crystal units were found
very crucial for early phase of nucleation state. The particles mediated self-assembly was also
undertaken as an essential procedure through which product particles have got organized into few
confined spatial geometries. The pH vales have also been observed which emphasizes the periodic
fluctuation of pH value in entire solution phase reaction (wave pattern). A schematic model has

Waste water containing ionic liquids are very difficult to treat by conventional wastewater
treatment methods, as most of the ionic liquids are non-biodegradable and they are recalcitrant
compounds. The properties of ILs create them green substitutes for organic volatile compounds
because of their very low vapor pressure, low melting point, and non-flammable nature. Improved
production, better solubility, and high stability use them many industrial as well as research
applications, continued usage of ILs in industrial applications contaminate the soil and water so
they classified as persistent contaminants and could be degraded through very powerful classical
treatment systems. The AOPs are better treatment options for the degradation of ILs. The overall
target of this review is to thoroughly gather and interpret existing information about the
degradation of different ionic liquids by various advanced oxidation processes.

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses which may cause illness in animals or humans. In
humans, several coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections ranging from the
common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The most recently discovered coronavirus causes
coronavirus disease COVID-19. OVID-19 is the infectious disease caused by the most recently
discovered coronavirus. This new virus and disease were unknown before the outbreak began in
Wuhan, China, in December 2019. COVID-19 is now a pandemic affecting many countries
globally.The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, dry cough, and tiredness. Other
symptoms that are less common and may affect some patients include aches and pains, nasal
congestion, headache, conjunctivitis, sore throat, diarrhea, loss of taste or smell or a rash on skin
or discoloration of fingers or toes. These symptoms are usually mild and begin gradually. Some
people become infected but only have very mild symptoms.
