Delivering integrated interventions in early childhood is challenging. This paper shares our learning about implementing Data management System (DMU) and its impact on the quality of program delivery. The DMU was developed through a collaborative process and includes an e-platform that stores, manages, and analyses various program data such as structured and unstructured data. We adopted a cyclical process throughout the program cycle to identify gaps and make an evidence-based decision for improving the program delivery. The first review cycle identified the critical gaps in intervention delivery such as suboptimal Coverage, Quality of program delivery, and low motivation among service providers. We analyzed these findings in-depth to understand the reasons and discussions leading to critical decisions to improve the program. To conclude a rapid-cycle data collection and analysis, using multiple data sources has the potential to enhance the delivery of complex integrated public health interventions.

Liver cancer is nothing but a malignant tumor that spread either on the surface or inside the liver. It is the sixth most prevalent kind of cancer overall in the globe. Hepatocellular carcinoma is the third most prevalent cancer in the world that results in mortality and the ninth most common cancer overall. Hepatocellular carcinoma is a liver cancer illness that is quiet and slow-growing in its early stages. In this review, detection and classification liver cancer (HCC) briefly discussed, in comparison with existing algorithms and techniques; we furthermore address several general challenges in liver cancer detection as well as in critical research issues and challenges in diagnosis of HCC, including prerequisite of manual system impairments and risk factors. Non-invasive liver cancer detection might help to find the severity of liver cancer or stages that will be useful as an early opinion for the physicians. An automated system to reduce flaws of manual system implemented. Hence, doctors can use a patient's cancer stage to determine treatment plan for the patient ultimately increases the patients' chance of getting treatment and decreases the mortality rate due to liver cancer. Integrating multi-modal images not only helps with accurate diagnosis and analysis but also lowers storage costs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Rapid growth in the infrastructure sector gives rise to greater demand for traditional and conventional resources. It is very essential to find substitute or alternate materials for construction sector in the direction of sustainable growth. Main source of sugar production is sugar cane and the demand for sugar cane is increasing day by day. Which in turn produces enormous ash after extraction of sugar is called as Sugar cane bagasse ash (BA). The utilization of bagasse ash in an environmental friendly manner is limited causing huge problem of its disposal. In the current study, five different mix ratio percentages 0.15, 0.30, 0.45, 0.60 and 0.75 were used to study compressive strength, density and stress-strain characteristics of material prepared using sugarcane bagasse ash mixed with glass fiber and blast furnace slag. It was observed that compressive strength of the novel material is greatly affected by addition of glass fibre and blast furnace slag. The compressive strength of the material is increased up to 0.45% mix ratio and then decreased. The bulk density of the substance dropped as the combination mix ratio value increased. For each combination ratio, the connection between stress and strain has been determined to be nonlinear. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Renewable energy source i.e Solar power generation in India reaching to its new record of 65 GW and planning to achieve additional 40GW of solar power generation. Panel efficiency increased with the capacity of solar panels but the STC remain same for all panel i.e all panels are tested at 250 celsius. One of the most crucial factors is temperature which effect the solar panel efficiency similarly other parameters like, dust in the air, velocity of air, and humidity in atmosphere. The most important factor for solar panels to operate at their highest efficiency is the temperature parameter. Many research is being made by developers in order to decrease temperature of solar panels. In this paper a practical model is prepare to decreased the temperature of solar panel. In order to improve efficiency of solar panels, it is necessary or important to maintained solar panels to its standard temperature during its power generation period. The model is prepared with water spraying arrangement for cooling the solar panel. this will improve the solar panels efficiency and also improved the power output of solar pv panned. Since efficiency of panel is depended on temperature will result good performance and will overall lower the panel temperature with the experimental setup it is possible to increase in efficiency up to 5-10%.

Increasing demand for electricity, in developing countries leads them to develop new technologies to generate power. At the same global warming and emission of CO2 and wastage of energy which is due to nearly 5-8% of the total electricity generation is due to various auxiliary process carries out at thermal power plant, the processes are moving and conveying fluid ,moving the fuel gases from furnaces, cooling ,condensing process etc. All these process are carried out by Induced Draft Fan, Compressors, Cooling Tower Fan, etc. This research work explains the implementation of variable frequency drives for the Induced draft fan and Cooling Tower Fan in the Thermal power plant is analyzed and calculations of energy conservation was carried using variable frequency drive.

Energy is the fundamental need of every living organism to carry out various processes internally (metabolic process) and externally. For years together sources like coal, diesel, petrol have been used to generate electrical energy. In the perspective of power generation need, focus on renewable energy sources has to be enhanced so as to suffice the future generation energy demand. During recent years, Microbial fuel cell technology seems to be the most emerging technology in the renewable field. It includes biological production of electricity in the presence of bacteria, substrates and some chemical solution. This paper fully focuses on different designs of fuel chamber and use of different combinations of materials such as bacteria, substrate material, and microbes to enhance the generation of electricity by using this technology.
