The current study attempts to mitigate the problems occurring in Halali and Dudhi mili-watersheds covering major portion of Phanda block. The research employs an integrated approach through GIS and Remote Sensing since groundwater conditions of the area are controlled by many parameters i.e. drainage, geology, geomorphology, slope, lineaments, landuse and landcover. All the thematic maps were digitized through interpreting satellite imageries in conjunction with sufficient ground truth and used as an input variable in GIS. In addition, well data and water quality data were integrated with spatial data. The output map of Groundwater potential zones was prepared. Considering the present status and future water requirement of the area, a complete Water Resource Action plan was prepare...

The quantity of per capita water supply and hours of supply per day varies substantially across the city. Some central parts of the city benefit from a large availability of water as compared to peripheral areas. This research employed Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) Regression, Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR), and the new version of GWR termed Multi-scale Geographically Weighted Regression (MGWR) models to better understand the factors behind observed spatial patterns of water supply distribution and to predict water supply in newly merged and proposed villages in the Pune city's periphery. Results showed statistical significance of slope; distance from service reservoirs; and water supply hour. MGWR and GWR models improved our results (adjusted R2: 0.916 and 0.710 respectively) significantly over those of the OLS model (adjusted R2: 0.252) and proved ho...

Available spatial data is limited to the aggregate level (i.e., National, State, and District level) and lacks details to make informed policy decisions and allocations. Despite significant advancements in geospatial technologies, its application and integration at the policy and decision-making level are seldom. The current research provides a unique, holistic Geospatial Framework to measure and monitor water security through geospatial technologies. The study demonstrates the application of the proposed Geospatial Framework from technical and institutional perspectives in water-stressed zones in Pune city showing where and how to solve problems and where proposed actions can h...

Objective of this study was to establish normative hemodynamic parameters by IPG. In this cross-sectional study hemodynamic parameters including cardiac output (CO), Stroke volume (SV), left ventricular ejection time (LVET), impedance (Zo) Cardiac index (CI) and Stroke index (SI) of 50 normal individuals in mean age 38.9±15.2 years were evaluated. Mean CO and CI were 4.9±0.8L/min and 3.3±0.7 L/min/m2 respectively. A negative linear co-relation of CI with increasing age and body fat mass was observed. Mean LVET was 336±33ms with a significant positive linear correlation (r = 0.46) with advancing age and body fat mass while a negative linear correlation with BSA. To conclude preliminary normative data of cardiac parameters using IPG, in subjects of central India of different age groups has been presented.

However, the early stages of diabetic neuropathy are often symptomless, keeping patients unaware of their developing condition. In these early stages of disease, small nerve fibers are more easily affected. The sympathetic skin response (SSR), which is caused by changes in activity of the eccrine sweat glands, can be used in such situation as a non-invasive approach to assess the function of the small sympathetic fibers involved in the early stages of this condition. Therefore this study was undertaken to evaluate the clinical value of SSR in identifying damage to sympathetic fibers and in detecting early signs of neuropathy in adult patients of diabetes mellitus in rural population of Central India. Study Design: It was a case-control study conducted on 96 subjects (48 controls and 48 cases of Diabetes mellitus) in age group of 40-80 years. In all the subjects SSR test was done and the latencies of initiation in seconds and amplitudes of the N and P waves in milivolts were recorded. Results: Latency of initiation in upper and lower limbs as measured by SSR test was found to be significantly prolonged in diabetic patients as compared to control subjects (P < 0.01). Smaller P wave amplitude was observed in diabetic patients as compared to normal healthy subjects, however, the difference is statistically non-significant (P > 0.05). N wave amplitude also did not show significant difference between control and cases. Conclusion: We conclude that latency measurement is of more value in diagnosing sympathetic fiber lesion in diabetes than amplitude measurement in SSR testing. Therefore, SSR test can be used to detect the early dysfunction of the small sympathetic fibers in diabetic peripheral neuropathy, especially in such patients with normal nerve conduction studies.
