The economy, education, business, tourism, health care and every section of the society is severely affected by Covid-19 virus. It challenged the public health system and affected the people physically and psychologically. The Covid-19 virus resulted in economic crisis of every nation and declared as pandemic by World Health Organisation. Though vaccines are developed rapidly, its acceptance among the people is comparatively low and slow. The present study is conducted to identify the vaccination status, analyse the health issues due to vaccination, source of awareness about vaccine and to measure the perception of people of vaccine. It is a quantitative study conducted primary data collected from 655 respondents in Tamil Nadu. The study found that moderate level of acceptance for vaccines and positive perception of vaccine. Vaccination level is lower among female, and in rural areas. It resulted in health issues in the form of fever and cured in a day by tablets. Though the social media plays a vital role in creating awareness it also creates undue hype and anxiety among the people. Regression analysis of the study revealed the changes in the perception of vaccine reliability and social media impact could result in positive perception among people about vaccine. Creating awareness on Covid-19 and the essentiality of vaccination only could prevent the world from the giant hands of Coronavirus. The reliable information in social media could impact a positive perception among the people on vaccine. Thereby, entire world can overcome the pandemic situation, and save the prestigious life of everyone in this beautiful world.

In their paper Natural selection for least action [1] depict evolution as a Path Integral process conforming to the Principle of Least Action (PLA). From this concept, an equation of motion for environmental coevolution was derived. Co-evolution [2] is a widespread phenomenon, as any system of coupled differential equations will conform to Co-evolution. Following this idea and the link to Path Integrals and PLA it is possible to generalise Co-evolution to any system of coupled differential equations such as Global Warming; that is what is done here. Taking an approximate approach to the Lagrangians involved gives a new simple metric defined as a “Coefficient of Impact” which reflects the importance of global warming on the particular effect, empirical evidence is used to calibrate the model; the results give similar levels of importance to other published values with the exception of the duration of heat waves.

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is an enduring synthetic chemical that harms human health. Recent studies indicate heightened bioaccumulation of PFOA, particularly in pregnant women experiencing preeclampsia. Since plasma testosterone levels are elevated in pregnant women with preeclampsia, we hypothesized that hyperandrogenic conditions during pregnancy may hinder PFOA elimination and contribute to their higher body burden. Pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were s/c injected with vehicle or testosterone propionate from gestational day (GD) 15 to 20 to increase plasma testosterone levels by 2-fold, similar to levels in preeclampsia. On GD 16, [14C]-PFOA (9.4 pmol/kg) was given intravenously, and subsequently, 14C radioactivity was measured in maternal blood, urine, feces, and tissues. PFOA was primarily eliminated through urine; however, less PFOA was excreted in urine of pregnant rats with elevated testosterone levels than controls. Fecal excretion of PFOA was minimal and did not significantly differ between groups. The total elimination of PFOA (urine plus feces) was significantly reduced by 12% in pregnant rats with elevated testosterone levels. In controls, PFOA distribution was highest in placenta, followed by the kidneys, liver, brain, heart, lungs, and spleen. Pregnant rats with elevated testosterone levels displayed 12% higher concentrations of PFOA in these tissues than controls. Furthermore, the renal expression of Oat2 and Oat3 was significantly decreased, while Oatp1 and Oat-k expression was significantly increased in pregnant rats with elevated testosterone levels than controls. In conclusion, elevated maternal testosterone levels decrease urinary elimination of PFOA, possibly through altered expression of renal transporters leading to increased tissue concentrations of PFOA in pregnant rats.

The demographic transition model (DTM) describes the progression of a country's population growth based on societal development. This paper examines the applicability of the DTM to India's unique demographic scenario and delves into the implications and assessments of India's population growth. The study includes vital analyses of the influence of urbanization, socioeconomic variables, and governmental policies on the demographic transition. It concludes with India's demographic change's potential social, economic, and environmental consequences.

Background and objective: Despite the reduction in the risks incurred, obtained thanks to the constant improvement of the road networks, the mortality rate by road accidents had doubled in 20 years in the world. The objective of this study is to evaluate the evolutionary trend of mortality due to road traffic accidents in 6 cities of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Methods: This was an analytical cross-sectional study of road traffic accident data in 6 cities in the DRC over a period from 2011 to 2016, based on data from the police stations of these 6 cities. It took into account all the accidents on the public highway having been the subject of a report by the police officers. Mortality and injuries due to road accidents were the dependent variables while socio-demographic characteristics, behavioral and environmental determinants were the independent variables. Results: A total of 4635 road traffic accidents were recorded during 6 years in six cities of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Road traffic accidents evolved linearly over the years with a high frequency in 2016 (1415 cases). The overall incidence of mortality in the six cities was 3.4/100P-Y. This incidence of mortality increased more and more over the wyears, going from 1.6/100PA in 2011 to 5.1/100P-Y in 2016. The incidence of mortality per year and per city, it is noted that mortality increased over the years in each city, with very high and significant mortality in Kinshasa and Lubumbashi. Conclusion: these data have shown that road traffic accidents increased over the years and the incidence of mortality varied from one city to another.

Citation: Risk Factors among Persons with Pre-Diabetes and Untreated Diabetes in Myanmar and Increased Burden for NonCommunicable Diseases. Journal of Environmental Science Public 6 (2022): Abstract Context: Non-Communicable diseases (NCDs) are major global public health challenges accounting for the majority of disease burden and mortality globally and in Myanmar. When uncontrolled, consequences for health can be devastating, amplified in developing countries such as Myanmar where they are also serious barriers to poverty alleviation and sustainable development. An understanding of trends in behavioural and Aims: This study aims at identifying risk factors among individuals in Myanmar at risk for NCDs. Study design: This study identifies prevalence of risk factors among pre-diabetic and untreated diabetic people using secondary data from the Myanmar STEPS 2014 survey. Methods: IBM SPSS Statistics 25 was used for data analysis and application of descriptive statistics. Results: Findings of this study indicate that out of the population diagnosed with pre-diabetes, over one third of persons are not doing enough physical exercise (39.1%), are obese or overweight (33.1%), and/or have high blood pressure (41.4%) or high cholesterol levels (47.3%). Similar trends, and higher numbers, are found for untreated diabetic people, where more than half of the population has a high BMI (55.3%), raised blood pressure (58.5%), and/or raised cholesterol (69%). Overall, 52.4% of pre-diabetic people and 71.3% of persons with untreated diabetes are living with three or more risk factors. Conclusion: Identifying high-risk individuals for diabetes and other NCDs and scaling up on interventions aimed at reducing incidence of risk factors among these populations are needed to reduce the burden of NCDs.
