Bastar district is a cultural heritage of Chhattisgarh and tribal dominated (66.3%) area. The population comprises of 42 tribes, the prominent tribes being Muria, Abhujmaria, Dandami, Gond, Maria, Dorla, Bhattra, Halba, Dhurwa, and Kawar. The economy of this region is primarily agriculture based, followed by forest-produces. Use of traditional tools like wooden mallet (khotla), indigenous plough and sickle are overwhelming while improved tools and equipment are negligible. Traditional equipment generates early fatigue, callus in hands, and drudgery for tribal women largely involved in farming. Anthropometric data of 100 tribal women between the age group of 18-45 years were measured. Statistically analysed data revealed that tribal women of Bastar had maximum stature of 1,870 mm and 1,400 mm as minimum with a mean of 1,523 mm. The standard deviation and CV were 80.6 mm and 5.29%, respectively. The maximum hand (right) pull strength for 5th and 95th percentile was 36.6 N and 117.6 N, respectively. Anthropometric data was utilized to improvise the design of khotla and indigenous plough. The maximum length of khotla handle was decided to be 2,105 mm, while that of minimum length was 1,620 mm. The total weight of khotla could be reduced by 23 per cent. Consequently, ΔHR reduced by 20-25 bpm from earlier value of 40 bpm. The weight of indigenous plough could also be reduced by 16% (3.8 kg) by shortening the length of the handle and the beam

The table is a furniture that has a basic surface and legs as a buffer that varies in shape and function. The design of this product is intentionally dedicated to the needs of a table that has a large capacity to store food, drinks, and even other tools. But the dimensions of the OS Table is currently felt not to provide comfort to its users. Therefore, the idea arose to redesign the multifunctional table design (OS Table) to create comfort for its users. This research was conducted using the Anthropometry method. Based on the results of data processing that has been done by collecting anthropometric data, namely Popliteal Height (Tpo), Elbow Length to Hands (Pst), Sitting Elbow Height (Tsd), Coverage of Hands Forward (Jtd) and Length of Hand Range (Prt), then it can be concluded the results of the OS Table redesign by using the 5th percentile for the smallest and the 95th percentile for the largest resulting in the dimensions of the maximum length of the table is 150 cm and the minimum length of the table is 118 cm, the width of the table is 69 cm while the height of the table is 69 cm. This multifunctional table (OS Table) has been redesigned to achieve an ergonomic dimension, thus providing comfort for the user.Keywords: Tables , OS Table, Anthropometry, Ergonomics, Product Design

Objective: The study was carried out with the aim to assess infant feeding and weaning practices among Kashmiri rural population. Materials and Methods: The present investigation comprised 85 rural women having their children in the age group of 1-24 months. Samples were selected randomly .Data was analyzed in the form of percentages, mean and standard deviation. Results: Average age of exclusive breast feeding was 9.41±2.32 months.88.23 per cent of mothers fed colostrum to their babies while as 11.77 per cent were of the opinion that it is not good for baby’s health. Only 23.52 per cent considered breast milk as a complete food for their infants. The most common reason for terminating breast feeding was subsequent pregnancy.Upto 4 months of age infants were fed on demand. Cow’s milk or reconstituted milk was introduced by 80 per cent of respondents between the ages of 9-12 months. The foods introduced were chut and biscuits softened in tea, banana, mashed rice with milk, porridge, egg, cerelac and nestum. Conclusion: Breast feeding was a universal practice in rural women. Most of the infants were fed colostrum without knowing its importance. A small percentage of subjects weaned their babies from 4-6 months of age. Hence, mothers need to be educated about the significance of colostrum and introduction of semi- solid foods at an appropriate age. J Med Sci.2009;12(2):46-48

Abstract Background Ensuring the quality of anthropometry data is paramount for getting accurate estimates of malnutrition prevalence among children aged 6–59 months in humanitarian and refugee settings. Previous reports based on data from Demographic and Health Surveys suggested systematic differences in anthropometric data quality between the younger and older groups of preschool children. Methods We analyzed 712 anthropometric population-representative field surveys from humanitarian and refugee settings conducted during 2011–2018. We examined and compared the quality of five anthropometric indicators in children aged 6–23 months and children aged 24–59 months: weight for height, weight for age, height for age, body mass index for age and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) for age. Using the z-score distribution of each indicator, we calculated the following parameters: standard deviation (SD), percentage of outliers, and measures of distribution normality. We also examined and compared the quality of height, weight, MUAC and age measurements using missing data and rounding criteria. Results Both SD and percentage of flags were significantly smaller on average in older than in younger age group for all five anthropometric indicators. Differences in SD between age groups did not change meaningfully depending on overall survey quality or on the quality of age ascertainment. Over 50% of surveys overall did not deviate significantly from normality. The percentage of non-normal surveys was higher in older than in the younger age groups. Digit preference score for weight, height and MUAC was slightly higher in younger age group, and for age slightly higher in the older age group. Children with reported exact date of birth (DOB) had much lower digit preference for age than those without exact DOB. SD, percentage flags and digit preference scores were positively correlated between the two age groups at the survey level, such as those surveys showing higher anthropometry data quality in younger age group also tended to show higher quality in older age group. Conclusions There should be an emphasis on increased rigor of training survey measurers in taking anthropometric measurements in the youngest children. Standardization test, a mandatory component of the pre-survey measurer training and evaluation, of 10 children should include at least 4–5 children below 2 years of age.

Abstract Background The disease burden caused by pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) in Sichuan province still persisted at a high level, and large spatial variances were presented across regional distribution disparities. The socio-economic factors were suspected to affect the population of TB notification, we aimed to describe TB case notification rate (CNR) and identify which factors influence TB epidemic are necessary for the prevention and control of the disease in Sichuan province. Methods A retrospective cross-sectional study and an ecological spatial analysis was conducted to quantify the presence and location of spatial clusters of TB by the Moran’s I index and examined these patterns with socio-economic risk factors by hierarchical Bayesian spatio-temporal model. Results A total of 630,009 pulmonary TB cases were notified from 2006 to 2015 in 181 counties of Sichuan province. The CNR decreased year by year since 2007, from 88.70 to 61.37 per 100,000 persons. The spatial heterogeneities of CNR were observed during the study periods. Global Moran’s I index varied from 0.23 to 0.44 with all P-value < 0.001. The Bayesian spatio-temporal model with parametric spatio-temporal interactions was chosen as the best model according to the minimum of Deviance Information Criterion (DIC)(19,379.01), and in which the quadratic form of time was taken. The proportion of age group and education year were all associated with CNR after adjusting the spatial effect, temporal effect and spatio-temporal interactions. TB CNR increased by 10.2% [95% credible interval (CI): 6.7–13.7%] for every 1-standard-deviation increase in proportion of age group and decreased by 23% (95% CI: 13.7–32.7%) for every 1-standard-deviation increase in education year. Conclusions There were spatial clusters of TB notification rate in Sichuan province from 2006 to 2015, and heavy TB burden was mainly attributed to aging and low socioeconomic status including poor education. Thus, it is more important to pay more attention to the elderly population and improve socioeconomic status including promoting education level in Sichuan province to reduce the TB burden.

Longnose Suckers

Studies of age, growth, and maturity were based on 1760 fish collected in western Lake Superior in 1964–65. The body:scale relation was curvilinear and the curve had an intercept of 1.65 inches on the length axis. The weight increased as the 2.85 power of the length. Some fish formed an annulus before May 18 in 1965; all had completed annuli by late September. Longnose suckers grew 3.6 inches the 1st year, reached 12 inches in the 6th year, and 18 inches in the 11th year. Fish from Pikes Bay grew faster than those from Gull Island Shoal. Over 6 years were required for weight to reach 1 lb and nearly 10 years to reach 2 lb. Minimum length at maturity was 10.5 inches for males and 11.5 inches for females. The youngest mature male belonged to age-group IV and the youngest mature female to age-group V. All males were mature at 14.5–14.9 inches (age-group VIII) and all females at 15.0–15.4 (age-group IX).Finclipped longnose suckers returned to spawn in the Brule River in successive years. One fish returned to spawn in 4 successive years. Many of the fish were not recaptured until 2 or 3 years after marking. The time of the Brule River spawning migration depended more on water temperature than on length of day. The average water temperature during the peak of the spawning runs of 1958–64 was 55.4 F. Larval suckers apparently spend little time in the Brule River and adjacent streams and drift downstream to the lake soon after hatching. The number of eggs in the ovaries of eight suckers ranged from 14 to 35 thousand and averaged 24 thousand for fish 13.9–17.7 inches long.

The aim of this study was to determine population parameters of Squalius cappadocicus in Melendiz River. A total of 357 specimens, collected 2016 June-2017August. Age of the specimens ranged from 0th to 5th age groups and dominant age group was found I (30,53%) followed by 0th (%28,29) and 2nd (%20,44) age groups. Total length varied from 2.6-24.5 cm with the mean of 11.27±3.88 cm, total weight ranged from 0.44 to 202.99 with the mean of 23.57±25.32 g. Length-weight relationship were estimated W=0.0120*L2.9882. Estimated population parameters were calculated as L∞: 44.21 cm, k: 0.098, to: -1.47, Φꞌ: 2.28 and K: 1.13 for the population. Mortality and exploitation rates estimated as Z: 0.37, M: 0.32, F: 0.05 and E: 0.13, respectively. These values suggested that there is no over fishing pressure on the population.
