By Karan Babbar, OP Jindal Global University and Mahashweta Chakrabarty, Banaras Hindu UniversitySONIPAT, March 11 – India has made significant progress in addressing menstrual health and hygiene (MHH), with initiatives such as the Menstrual Hygiene Scheme contributing to a substantial increase in access to period products. However, true menstrual equity remains a distant dream for many, particularly in underserved regions.

Table 1 shows the weighted percentage distribution of mothers who delivered their last child within the five years preceding the survey, categorized by selected background characteristics. The majority of mothers identified as Hindu (77.1%), and approximately half had completed secondary education. About 40% of mothers belonged to OBC. Additionally, about 88% of mothers were aged 20–34 years at the time of childbirth.

The data was drawn from three rounds of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) conducted in the year 2005-06, 2015-16 and 2019-21. The NFHS is a cross-sectional survey that collects data on a range of demographic, nutritional and public health issues. A total of 124,385, 699,686, and 716,273 women aged 15–49 years participated in NFHS-3, NFHS-4, and NFHS-5, with response rates of 95%, 97%, and 97% respectively. A stratified two stage sample design was used by NFHS [16,17,18].

AbstractThe rising human population increases anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide (CO\(_2\)) and the demand for wood, leading to deforestation and hence higher CO\(_2\) levels. In this research work, by formulating and analyzing a mathematical model, we aim to suggest a strategy to maintain the equilibrium level of CO\(_2\) at a lower concentration. In the model formulation, we consider both the natural emissions of CO\(_2\) and the contribution from anthropogenic sources.

AbstractIn the current study, a seismic inversion based on a hybrid optimisation of genetic algorithm (GA) and pattern search (PS) is carried out. The GA is an approach to global optimisation technique that always converges to the global optimum solution but takes much time to converge. On the other hand, the PS is a local optimisation technique and can converge at local or global optimum solution depending on the starting model.

The visceral leishmaniasis (VL) elimination initiative has adopted multiple public health strategies with the goal of reducing VL cases to <1 per 10 000 population at the subdistrict level in the Indian subcontinent [1]. Substantial progress has been achieved since 2005, with an approximately 90% reduction in VL incidence reported between 2015 and 2022 and no VL-related deaths reported in India since 2015 [2].

In an area endemic with Indian visceral leishmaniasis (VL), we performed direct xenodiagnosis to evaluate the transmission of Leishmania donovani from patients with VL–human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coinfection to the vector sandflies, Phlebotomus argentipes. Fourteen patients with confirmed VL-HIV coinfection, with a median parasitemia of 42 205 parasite genome/mL of blood, were exposed to 732 laboratory-reared pathogen-free female P argentipes sandflies on their lower arms and legs.

AbstractThe Notch pathway is an evolutionarily conserved signaling system that is intricately regulated at multiple levels and it influences different aspects of development. In an effort to identify novel components involved in Notch signaling and its regulation, we carried out protein interaction screens which identified non-muscle myosin II Zipper (Zip) as an interacting partner of Notch. Physical interaction between Notch and Zip was further validated by co-immunoprecipitation studies.
