A Review Paper on Monitoring Environmental Consequences of Land Cover Dynamics with The Help of Geo-informatics Technologies
Land cover dynamics is a challenging and vigorous process that associates natural and human systems that have undeviating effects on atmosphere, water and soil which lead to many environmental problems worldwide. Urbanization is one of a major land cover change that is highly correlated with many environmental problems that need emphasis. This paper aimed to review and present level and effect of land use land cover changes, urbanization, factors affecting land cover change and application of geographic information system & remote sensing in monitoring land cover changes. Over the past 300 years, about 1.2 million kilometer square of forests and 5.6 million kilometer square of pasture and rangeland were replaced by other uses worldwide, while cultivated land increased by 12 million km2. In 1950, only 30 percent of the world population lived in urban settings, the fraction raised to 55% by 2018. This led to about roughly 60% of the ecosystem services are being destroyed or used in unsustainable ways worldwide. Population expansion, change of technology, high land value, corruption, lack of awareness, migration of people and political pressure are among major driving force of land cover changes. Geo-informatics technology specially GIS and Remote Sensing is found to be an excellent tool for study of land cover change that enables observation across large area of earth's surface with low cost, better efficient and high accuracy. Therefore monitoring, analyzing and evaluation of land cover dynamics with the help of geo-informatics is decisive for improved management & characterizing land cover alteration processes, and determining its environmental consequences.

Knowledge and Attitude of Selected Women Beneficiaries about Janani Suraksha Yojana in Samastipur Districts of Bihar
Introduction: The Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) is a 100% centrally sponsored scheme launched by the Honorable Prime Minister of our country on April 12, 2005, for reducing maternal and neonatal mortality. JSY integrates cash assistance with antenatal care during the pregnancy period, institutional care during delivery and immediate postpartum period in a health center by establishing systems of coordinated care by the field-level health workers. Reproductive health is a crucial part of general health and a central feature of human development. More than three-quarters of the population of our country live in rural areas lack of knowledge due to maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity continue to be high despite the existence of national programs for improving maternal and child health in India. JSY provided antenatal and postnatal services an important one being non-utilization or under-utilization of maternal health-care services, especially among the rural poor and urban slum population due to either lack of knowledge or access to health-care services very difficult. The quality of care is more important than the quantity. Pregnancy requires specialized care, generally agreed to be a preventive activity. The concept of healthy mother and healthy baby is an important aspect of maternal and child health. Material and Methods: For this study, we used a questionnaire to collect primary data; secondary data were also used. For the primary data selection, I first came to know about life with selected benefits, then with the help of questioning, I went directly face to face door to door and questioned him, and he gave me an answer an own language. For secondary data, I read a lot of research papers related to this topic and some books, government report, journal abstract, or thesis took many help. This study was conducted in Samastipur district of Bihar. For this purpose, 60 respondents were purposively selected, who were registered in JSY. Results: The finding of the study showed that about 35% have a high ...

Exploring the Dynamics and Mutational Landscape of Riboregulation with a Minimal Synthetic Circuit in Living Cells
[EN] The regulation of gene expression, triggered by conformational changes in RNA molecules, is widely observed in cellular systems. Here, we examine this mode of control by means of a model-based design and construction of a fully synthetic riboregulatory device. We present a theoretical framework that rests on a simple energy model to predict the dynamic response of such a system. Following an equilibrium description, our framework integrates thermodynamic properties-anticipated with an RNA physicochemical model-with a detailed description of the intermolecular interaction. The theoretical calculations are confirmed with an experimental characterization of the action of the riboregulatory device within living cells. This illustrates, more broadly, the predictability of genetic robustness on synthetic systems, and the faculty to engineer gene expression programs from a minimal set of first principles. ; This work was supported by the AXA Research Fund and the CSIC Intramural grant No. 201440I017 to G.R., the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports FPU fellowship AP2012-3751 to E.M., the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness grants No. AGL2013-49919-EXP and No. BIO2011-26741 to J.-A.D. and No. BFU2011-24691 to J.F.P., and the European Union grant No. FP7-KBBE-613745 (Programming synthetic networks for bio-based production of value chemicals) to A.J. ; Rodrigo Tarrega, G.; Majer, E.; Prakash, S.; Daros Arnau, JA.; Jaramillo, A.; Poyatos, JF.

Designing a broad-spectrum integrative approach for cancer prevention and treatment
Targeted therapies and the consequent adoption of "personalized" oncology have achieved notable successes in some cancers; however, significant problems remain with this approach. Many targeted therapies are highly toxic, costs are extremely high, and most patients experience relapse after a few disease-free months. Relapses arise from genetic heterogeneity in tumors, which harbor therapy-resistant immortalized cells that have adopted alternate and compensatory pathways (i.e., pathways that are not reliant upon the same mechanisms as those which have been targeted). To address these limitations, an international task force of 180 scientists was assembled to explore the concept of a low-toxicity "broadspectrum" therapeutic approach that could simultaneously target many key pathways and mechanisms. Using cancer hallmark phenotypes and the tumor microenvironment to account for the various aspects of relevant cancer biology, interdisciplinary teams reviewed each hallmark area and nominated a wide range of high-priority targets (74 in total) that could be modified to improve patient outcomes. For these targets, corresponding low-toxicity therapeutic approaches were then suggested, many of which were phytochemicals. Proposed actions on each target and all of the approaches were further reviewed for known effects on other hallmark areas and the tumor microenvironment Potential contrary or procarcinogenic effects were found for 3.9% of the relationships between targets and hallmarks, and mixed evidence of complementary and contrary relationships was found for 7.1%. Approximately 67% of the relationships revealed potentially complementary effects, and the remainder had no known relationship. Among the approaches, 1.1% had contrary, 2.8% had mixed and 62.1% had complementary relationships. These results suggest that a broad-spectrum approach should be feasible from a safety standpoint. This novel approach has potential to be relatively inexpensive, it should help us address stages and types of cancer that lack conventional treatment, and it may reduce relapse risks. A proposed agenda for future research is offered. (C) 2015 The Authors.
