Utilizing Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy, concentrations of HMs in diverse cosmetic products were determined, with results from samples of both user and controlled groups analyzed and compared. The range of HM concentrations in blood samples was assessed, revealing varied levels across Cadmium (Cd), Mercury (Hg), Lead (Pb), Arsenic (As). Results revealed a wide range of HM concentrations, including Cd (0.4-5.1 µg/l in males, 1.8-8.1µg/l in females), Hg (60.7-85.5 µg/l in males, 78.5-99.3 µg/l in females), Pb (48.7-99.5 µg/l in males, 83.3-99.5 µg/l in females), and As. Some samples exceeded safety limits, emphasizing the need for stringent regulation and improved manufacturing practices to ensure safer cosmetic products and protect consumer health. The incorporation of survey methodologies enhances the study's depth, providing comprehensive insights into the potential health risks associated with HM exposure from cosmetic use.","PeriodicalId":31687,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mountain Area Research","volume":"54 46","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141649709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These rocks have comparatively low uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) values, and hence recognized as ‘soft sedimentary rocks’ in this study. UCS is a fundamental property of rocks, used by mine design engineers in designing the surface and underground excavations. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between UCS with Brazilian tensile strength (BTS), and index properties of soft sedimentary rock formations at Thar Lignite basin. Various correlations between mechanical and physical properties of rocks have been developed previously. However, no significant correlation has been developed on UCS with BTS and index properties for soft sedimentary rocks. Numerous Rock samples from Two complete geotechnical drillholes at Block-IX Thar Coalfield were selected. Standard test procedures were implemented to determine the UCS, indirect Tensile and index properties such as point load strength, and shore Scleroscope hardness. The correlations between rock properties were established using simple and multiple regression techniques, and empirical equations were obtained. These equations can be used to predict the UCS and tensile strength of soft sedimentary rocks by performing simple index tests; which are quick, economical, and easier to be performed on the site.","PeriodicalId":31687,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mountain Area Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48547362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 12 adult male albino mice were taken. Four groups each containing three mice were made. First group of mice served as control and other three groups were treated as experimental. The control mice were fed with normal diet, while experimental mice were administered with 10, 30 and 50 mg/kg body weight seed powder respectively for 30 days. After 30 days of experimentation all control and treated mice were dissected. The testis and epididymis were removed, their weights were recorded, fixed and processed for further histological technique. Administration of the S. trifoliatus to mice showed a significant increase in body weight, but testicular weight were unaffected. The present study also clearly demonstrates that the administration of seed powder of S. trifoliatus at all the tested doses caused insignificant reduction of the reproductive organs weight, testicular damage and complete arrest of spermatogenesis. At lower doses, a few layers of spermatogenic cells were noted but at later stage the spermatogenesis was stopped. At the highest dose i.e. 50 mg complete arrest of spermatogenesis and degeneration of remaining germinal cells could be seen. The atrophy of Leydig’s cells was also noted at higher doses of treatment up to 60 days. The epididymis also showed degenerative changes in the epithelial cells at higher doses. Spermatozoa were not seen in the lumen of ductules of epididymis.","PeriodicalId":31687,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mountain Area Research","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83600559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ICT enhances the quality of Education in several ways, which facilitates the learner to gain knowledge and education through different approaches like multimedia, computer software, video & audio etc. All these mediums provide quality to the Education process. In India and particularly in the Himalayan region, we can see the lack of awareness of the use of ICT in Education. As such we need to integrate ICT and the traditional teaching method to make the education process easier and more effective. In the complex geographical conditions of the Himalayan region the integration of different learning approaches, such as blended learning, can make a huge difference in the field of education in both ways, qualitatively and quantitatively. The study aims to examine the attitude of pupil teachers of the Garhwal Himalayan region towards blended learning. The sample consists of 171 pupil teachers in the teacher education institutes of the Garhwal Himalayan region. A self-constructed tool consisting of 35 statements was used to measure the pupil teacher’s attitude and knowledge of blended learning. An online questionnaire was circulated to collect the data. A descriptive survey was adopted to collect the data, it was then analyzed with Excel software. The result showed that most of the pupil teachers have an average level of attitude towards blended learning. Gender-wise there is a significant difference in the attitude of pupil teachers towards blended learning.","PeriodicalId":31687,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mountain Area Research","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89441387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to known side effects of synthetic drugs, there is an increasing demand in herbal Ayurvedic medicines. India is blessed with one of the richest flora of the world and still there are thousands of plant species that have high medicinal value. Plant resources are disappearing now at an alarming rate and enough attention is not being done to search for alternate sources. Many endemic MAPs are vanishing from the wild or getting threatened with near to extinction in the natural habitats at district and state levels. Intensive work is being carried out all over the world to find alternatives of non-available raw drugs. Acharya Vagbhata explained Abhava Pratinidhi Dravyas as; when there is unavailability of any particular drug during preparation of a compound, one should try to get another drug having similar properties. Etymology, identification, nomenclature either vernacular or scientific and classification of the respective raw drugs has been presented here with Ayurvedic alternatives and discussed with Taxonomical point of view like Rasa, Guna, Veerya, Vipaka and Prabhava vs Order, Family, Genus and Species. In the present communications few MAPs have also been suggested for the alternative use of the plants and plant parts. Selection of alternatives should be regional or disease wise in particular but in general the whole plant alternates has to need detailed study on botanical aspects and prospects, phytoconstituents, active marker compounds and pharmacological activity too.","PeriodicalId":31687,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mountain Area Research","volume":"126 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83329288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pathogenic bacteria can also cause zoonotic illnesses and infection in both humans and fish. Coldwater fisheries that are susceptible to bacterial infections include Schizothorax, Rainbow trout, and Salmonids. At temperatures ranging from 5 to 14°C, coldwater bacterial pathogens proliferate and cause epidemics. Furunculosis, motile aeromonas septicemia, coldwater illness, columnaris, bacterial gill disease, vibriosis, edwardsiellosis, and pseudomonasis are the most common gram-negative diseases in coldwater fisheries. A few gram-positive bacterial pathogens, Streptococcus agalactiae, produced streptococcosis in hill stream fisheries, while Lactococcus garvieae caused lactococcosis. The bacteria that cause disease in coldwater fisheries are mainly opportunistic pathogens while few are obligate pathogens. This review discusses the bacterial agents, and diseases caused by them with emphasis on the bacterium-host interactions by compiling some published literature scattered over the past decades.","PeriodicalId":31687,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mountain Area Research","volume":"104 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76205121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
