Dependable supplies of clean water, as provided by springs, have attracted human settlements inducing the emergence local institutions to protect water sources a common good, often along with surrounding forests or tree cover. Instrumental values nature source used be embedded in relational sacred that implied norms behavior and sanctions feared. The balance between private, communal, public rights obligations regard access has shifted historical development across world. mechanistic understanding springs part full hydrological cycle emphasis from such toward areas belowground flows wider landscape. Rediscovered respect for natural can synergize instrumental minimizing negative impact on cycles, bold action agenda.

International Journal of Latest Technology in Engineering Management & Applied Science, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 14(3), С. 426 - 433

Опубликована: Апрель 17, 2025

Abstract: e-Governance 4.0 represents a paradigm shift in public administration, leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) to create seamless, efficient, sustainable governance framework. The Maha Kumbh Mela, one world's largest religious congregations, presents unique challenges crowd management, security, resource allocation, environmental sustainability. This study explores role AI IoT transforming through real-time data analytics, automated decision-making, predictive management. AI-driven surveillance, IoT-enabled smart infrastructure, blockchain-based digital services ensure enhanced optimised traffic control, effective waste Additionally, AI-powered chatbots platforms improve pilgrim engagement, while solutions contribute conservation. By integrating these advanced technologies, fosters resilient, adaptive, citizen-centric approach managing large-scale events. paper highlights key technological innovations policy recommendations for implementing AI- IoT-driven models future mega-events. Leveraging (AI), IoT, blockchain, cloud computing, organizers may develop an integrated system designed enhance safety, streamline logistics, overall experience. outlines methods lessons learned, propose conceptual framework mass gatherings.

(1) Purpose: This study aimed to analyze coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine policies and their effectiveness in Italy, India, South Africa provide empirical experience for vaccination COVID-19 pandemic control. (2) Methods: The systematically summarized the through public information available on official websites of World Health Organization ministries health these three countries. Total vaccinations, rates, rates fully vaccinated, booster-vaccinated, total confirmed cases were selected cross-sectional comparison Daily per million, daily deaths effective reproduction rate calculated measure implementation each (3) Results: differ start date vaccination, types, appointments, whether vaccinations are free. countries varied widely, with Italy having highest lowest. has had a positive effect reducing stabilizing rate. experienced more than one outbreak spike due spread new mutated strains since vaccination. (4) Conclusions: concluded that responding requires active promotion basic booster comprehensively build up population immune barrier. Promoting equitable distribution internationally solidarity cooperation among maximizes global common interests. By combining non-pharmaceutical interventions, can be prevented controlled aspects: detection source infection, reduction transmission routes, protection susceptible populations.

Community seroprevalence and risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 infection in different subpopulations in Vellore, India, and their implications for future prevention

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 116, С. 138 - 146

Опубликована: Дек. 28, 2021

The aim of this study was to inform public health policy decisions through the assessment IgG antibody seroprevalence in population and risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 infection.The antibodies among different subpopulations at end first second waves pandemic estimated. Various associated with seropositivity, including sociodemography, against endemic human coronavirus, vaccination status, were also assessed.For all 2433 consenting participants, overall estimated seroprevalences 28.5% (95% CI 22.3-33.7%) 71.5% 62.8-80.5%), respectively. accrual positivity heterogeneous, highest found urban slum populations (75.1%). Vaccine uptake varied subpopulations, low rates (< 10%) rural residents. majority seropositive individuals (75%) asymptomatic. Residence slums (OR 2.02, 95% 1.57-2.6; p < 0.001), middle socioeconomic status 1.77, 1.17-2.67; = 0.007), presence diabetes 1.721, 1.148-2.581; 0.009), hypertension 1.75, 1.16-2.64; 0.008) seropositivity multivariable analyses.Although considerable immunity has been reached, more than two-thirds seropositive, improved strategies unreached high-risk are suggested better preparedness future.

Background: Despite the mass vaccination of people in countries, preventive health guidelines coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are still one most critical factors for pandemic control. The objectives this study were to assess overall use face masks and investigate diverse kinds used among pedestrians northeast Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional was designed Torbat Heydariyeh, northeastern Iran, from February 19 May 13, 2020. A total 223 848 selected 25 points city, using a multistage sampling method 10 stages. Descriptive statistics presented with frequencies percentages. Chi-square test Fisher exact association between two categorical variables. Results: percent mask usage 78.68%. Women considerably higher than men (88.32% vs. 69.02%, P<0.001). Among male female who mask, 6.27% 2.04% wore incorrectly, respectively. Surgical (73.7%) common worn by pedestrians. Overall, significantly lower during a.m. (88.34%) compared p.m. (78.52%) (P<0.001). Also, center sections city (86.49%) outskirts (43.67%) Conclusion: more men. Using educational programs establishing laws regulations prevent pandemics cities is considered as key factor.
