Elevated water tanks are essential Civil Engineering framework which are known as compulsory community services urban areas. A number of elevated water tanks suffered collapse and damage to their staging in deep earthquakes, consequently their safety performance is a crucial concern throughout effective earthquake. Because of storage of clean water, it is utilized for important needs such as drinking purpose and for other domestic purpose. Within the existing work, four support patterns viz. easy brace, cross brace, rectangular brace as well as radial brace connected with various staging heights (fifteen m, twenty m, and twenty-five m) are analysed for seismic zone II, III and IV for empty tank and loaded tank. Probably the most affordable as well as secure, Intze style tank of thousand kilolitre capacity considered. When it comes to the evaluation of Intze container, 72 designs are constructed with STAAD.ProV8i Software, by which 36 models are analysed for empty tank and additional 36 models are analysed for loaded tank. Each and every seismic zone has 12 models as well as every brace has three distinct staging rises. For the safety, stability and serviceability, different parameters are obtained for different brace pattern

RC intze water tanks are constructed for storage and suppling of water through a certain height with adequate pressure of water distribution. Many overhead water tanks affected due to certainty like earthquake that can induce large lateral forces. So, there is a necessity to Understand and examine the behavior of intze tank supported on framing in context to different soil types under the seismic forces. This paper evaluates the experimental output of seismic analysis that compares shear and moments at base for different seismic zone (II, III, IV, V) in different type of soil conditions.

Objectives: The non-clinical approach known as social prescribing aims to tackle multi-morbidity, reduce general practitioner (GP) workload and promote wellbeing by directing patients to community services. Usual in-person modes of delivery of social prescribing have been virtually impossible under social distancing rules. This study qualitatively examined and compared the responses of three social prescribing schemes in Scotland to the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: We interviewed a theoretical sample of 23 stakeholders in urban and rural social prescribing schemes at the start of COVID-19 pandemic. Follow-up interviews with a representative sample were conducted around 10 months later. Interviewees included social prescribing coordinators (SPCs) GPs, managers, researchers and representatives of third sector organizations. Interview transcripts were analysed in stages and an inductive approach to coding was supported by NVivo. Results: Findings revealed a complex social prescribing landscape in Scotland with schemes funded, structured and delivering services in diverse ways. Across all schemes, working effectively during the pandemic and shifting to online delivery had been challenging and demanding; however, their priorities in response to the pandemic had differed. With GP time and services stretched to limits, GP practice-attached ‘Link Workers’ had taken on counselling and advocacy roles, sometimes for serious mental health cases. Community-based SPCs had mostly assumed a health education role, and those on the Western Isles of Scotland a digital support role. In both rural or urban areas, combatting loneliness and isolation – especially given social distancing – remained a pivotal aspect of the SPC role. Conclusion: This study highlights significant challenges and shifts in focus in social prescribing in response to the pandemic. The use of multiple digital technologies has assumed a central role in social prescribing, and this situation seems likely to remain. With statutory and non-statutory services stretched to their limits, there is a danger of SPCs assuming new tasks without adequate training or support.

Nowadays, as in the urban areas the space available for the construction of buildings is limited. So in limited space we have to construct such type of buildings which can be used for multiple purposes such as lobbies, car parking etc. To fulfill this demand, high rise buildings is the only option available. The performance of a high rise building during strong earthquake motion depends on the distribution of stiffness, strength and mass along both the vertical and horizontal directions. If there is discontinuity in stiffness, strength and mass between adjoining storeys of a building then such a building is known as irregular building. The present study focuses on the seismic performance of regular and vertical irregular building with and without masonary infills. In the present study G+11 building is considered for the analysis with modelling and analysis done on ETABS software v17.0.1. The earthquake forces are calculated as per IS 1893 (part 1): 2016 for seismic zone III. The width of strut is calculated by using equivalent diagonal strut method. Total five models are considered for the analysis i.e. regular building with bare frame, regular building with masonary infill, soft storey building with open ground storey, mass irregular building with masonary infill and vertical geometric irregular building with masonary infill. The non-linear static analysis (pushover analysis) and linear dynamic analysis (response spectrum analysis) are performed for all the models and thereby compare their results. From analysis, the parameters like performance point, time period, maximum storey displacement, maximum storey drifts, storey shears and overturning moments are determined and also comparative study is done for all the models. From the comparison, it is observed that the vertical geometric irregular building shows better performance under seismic loading and bare frame building shows inferior performance. Moreover, the performance of masonary infilled frame building is f

Dig well is one of the clean water supply sources for the society in the countryside, and urban areas. Dig well provides water originating from the soil layer that is relatively close with ground level, therefore susceptible to contamination through seepage originating from human waste, animals, or for domestic household needs. Dig well as clean water source must be supported by construction conditions, location conditions to build a dig well, this thing is needed so that the quality of dig well’s water is safe according to the rules set. The research purpose is to know the physical condition of dig well with incidence of diarrhea in infants at the working area of Kabila Community Health Centre Bone Bolango District. This research used quantitative method, the research instrument uses observation sheet and questionairres to measure the physical condition of dig well. The result show that there was a significant effect between dig well lip height variable, wall of the dig well, septic tank distance with dig well by the incidence of diarrhea in infants. For the variable of dig well floor and closing condition of dig well obtains the result that there was no influence with the incidence of diarrhea in infants.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the ecology of the common arboviral mosquito vectors in Mombasa, Kilifi and Malindi urban areas of coastal Kenya. Mosquito larvae were collected using standard dippers and pipettes. Egg survivorship in dry soil was evaluated by collecting soil samples from dry potential larval developmental sites, re-hydrating them for hatching and rearing of the eventual larvae to adults. Adult mosquitoes were collected with CDC light traps and BG-Sentinel traps. All blood-fed females were tested for bloodmeal origin. Mosquitoes were screened for arboviruses using RT-qPCR. Overall, the predominant species were Culex quinquefasciatus (Say) 72.4% (n = 2,364) and Aedes aegypti (L.), 25.7%, (n = 838). A total of 415 larval developmental sites were identified indoors (n = 317) and outdoors (n = 98). The most productive larval developmental sites, both indoors and outdoors, were assorted small containers, water tanks, drainages, drums, and jerricans. Overall, 62% (n = 18) of the soil samples collected were positive for larvae which were used as a proxy to measure the presence of eggs. The mosquitoes fed on humans (29.8%) and chickens (3.7%). Of 259 mosquitoes tested for viral infection, 11.6% were positive for Flavivirus only. The most productive larval developmental sites for arboviral vectors indoors were small containers, water tanks, jerricans, and drums whereas small containers, water tanks, drainage channels, buckets, tires, and water troughs were the productive larval developmental sites outdoors.
