AbstractObjectiveTo establish a laboratory iodization quality assurance system to support small-scale salt production facilities in India and to assess the level of agreement for the internal quality assurance (IQA) and external quality assurance (EQA) protocols.DesignOperational research. The IQA and EQA programme was established in the year 2008. Agreement between field laboratories and the reference laboratory for estimation of iodine content of salt from 2008 to 2011 was assessed. Agreement was assessed using the χ2 test, kappa statistics and the Bland–Altman plot.SettingSmall-scale salt producers in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Odisha and Karnataka; ‘field laboratories’ supporting the small-scale salt producers; and the ‘reference laboratory’ of the Regional Office (South Asia) of the International Council for the Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders.SubjectsThree hundred small-scale salt producers in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Odisha and Karnataka and seventeen ‘field laboratories’.ResultsA total of 6573 salt samples for IQA and 347 salt samples for EQA were exchanged between field and reference laboratories during 2008–2012. Out of the total salt sample exchanges, 527 were from Andhra Pradesh and Odisha, 2343 from Gujarat, 2016 from Rajasthan and 1677 from Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. The overall between-laboratory agreement was for 61·6 % for IQA and 64·8 % for EQA. The mean difference between iodine content estimation of field laboratories and the reference laboratory was 0·3 ppm (sd 8·2 ppm) for IQA and –0·3 ppm (sd 3·5 ppm) for EQA.ConclusionsOur study successfully documents implementation of a laboratory iodization quality assurance protocol in laboratories supporting small-scale salt production facilities in India.

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Literature on acute myeloid Leukemia (AML) from low and middle income countries (LMIC) like India indicate lower uptake of intensive treatment (29%) and higher induction mortality (25%) (Philip C, BJH 2015). This is attributable to delayed presentation, higher infection burden, multi-drug resistant organism (MDRO) infections, poor nutritional status, access to care, and high costs driven by 'out-of-pocket expenditures', among other reasons. AIM: To determine the clinical profile, cause and costs of care of patients who die during Induction therapy of newly diagnosed AML. METHODOLOGY: This is a retrospective chart review of newly diagnosed AML patients who died during Induction therapy. Induction mortality was defined as death within 60 days from the date of initiation of therapy for newly diagnosed AML. Secondary and therapy related AML were excluded from the study. Demographic and clinical profiling and analyses of the cause of death was undertaken. RESULTs: Between May 2011-Dec 2019, 825 adult patients were registered with newly diagnosed AML. 455 (55.2%) patients discontinued care primarily due to financial constraints, and 370 (44.8%) continued treatment here. Among these (n=370), 275 (74.3%) chose to receive standard or abbreviated intensive therapy (Group A), 58 (15.7%) chose disease control only with continuous less-intensive regimens like hypomethylating agents (Group B) and 37 (10%) chose palliation and best supportive care (Group C). Median age was 55y (20-84) overall, and 39.5y, 67.5y and 69y respectively in groups A, B and C. Females were 59% of the cohort. The overall induction mortality was 13.78% (n=51). Independently, induction mortality was 9.4% (26/275) in Group A, 24.13% (14/58) in Group B and 29.72% (11/37) in Group C, with a yearly trend suggesting a decrease in Group A (Fig 1) in the last 3 years. The most common cause of death was sepsis, 92.1% (n=47), with or without a bleeding episode. Isolated bleeding episodes were accountable for 4% (n=2) of overall deaths, and disease progression in the rest (n=2). Disease burden at presentation (% blasts in peripheral blood and marrow respectively, median values): 40% & 55% in Group A, 47% & 55% Group B, and 60% & 61% in group C. ELN 2017 risk grouping: 16% standard risk (n=8), 51% intermediate risk (n=26) & 33% high risk (n=17). 33% (n=17) had a lung infection at baseline and this was the commonest source of sepsis. Stool and throat surveillance cultures revealed MDRO (carbapenem resistant enterobacteriaceae) in 47% (n=15/32 tests) and 33% (n=7/21 tests) patients, respectively. 74.5% (n=38/51) developed blood culture positive infections during induction therapy. The median number of days to culture positivity was 11 days overall, 13 days in Group A (n=22), 3 in group B (n=13) and 1 day in Group C (n=3). The most common blood culture-detected organism was MDRO Carbapenem resistant Klebsiella (n=12). Imaging detected fungal infection was observed in 47% (n=24). The common antibiotic regimens included meropenem and colistin, with voriconazole being the most common antifungal used. The median ICU stay was 3.5 days (range of 0-24 days) in Group A and 1.5 days (range 0-13) in Group B. The median direct hospital costs in these patients were $6999 in Group A, $7923 in Group B and $2655 in Group C [per-capita GDP of India in 2019: $2099.6]. CONCLUSIONS: The induction mortality in AML varies with age and the intent of treatment. Younger patients undergoing intensive curative therapies have lesser induction mortality. Sepsis is the most common cause of induction deaths, primarily due to a high disease burden and higher infection burden at presentation, and the presence of MDRO bacteremia. Costs of care are very high and contribute to the high drop out rate from curative therapy of newly diagnosed AML. Figure 1 Figure 1.

Dear Reader, While India has acquired global recognition as a reliable source of high quality, impurity free active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and generic pharmaceuticals, Indian pharmaceutical R&D has to go a long way to enter the global pharmaceutical R&D map. The 2016 OECD report “Measuring Science Technology and Innovation” (https://www.oecd.org/sti/STI-Stats-Brochure.pdf) has a large compilation of data on R&D. India hardly finds a place in this study, except on the use of the internet & IT.As confirmed by the OECD data in 1960, 70% or more of all R&D spend globally was from Government funds. India claims to have the largest chain of R&D laboratories in the world under the CSIR/DSIR umbrella. Between 1960 to 2017, the contribution of CSIR laboratories,including once-reputed laboratories such as CDRI, Lucknow and IIIM, Jammu, to pharmaceutical research has only gone down.

The demand for Diagnostic Centers in India is propelled by changes in culture, increase in population, rise in infectious disease, increase in healthcare expenditure and rising adoption of preventive health check-ups. The Private diagnostic market in India has limited number of organized players and the overall market is driven by unorganized laboratories. The Diagnostic Imaging equipments such as X-ray, CT (Computed Tomography) Scanner and BMD (Bone Mineral Densitometer) need to be handled with utmost care as they have human made ionizing radiation exposure risks. India is one of the largest consumers of refurbished diagnostic imaging equipments and the beneficiaries include Diagnostic Centers, Corporate Hospitals and Chain of Diagnostic Laboratories. The Atomic Energy Regulatory Body (AERB) in India regulates the usage of diagnostic imaging equipments by evolving policies and procedures to be strictly followed by Diagnostic Centers for containing excessive radiation. The changes in procurement policy made by AERB in September 2015 have restricted importing of used diagnostic imaging equipments up to a maximum of 7 years. This regulatory change has triggered a research question, Diagnostic Laboratories - Are these Radiation Safe? This research was conducted with the objective of assessing whether diagnostic centers follow the best practices mandated by AERB. The researcher has conducted a very structured assessment on AERB compliance using 7 different parameters namely, Regulatory, Layout Engineering, Technician Competency, Human Safety, Operations Knowhow, Radiation Exposure Monitoring and Top Management Commitment. This study was conducted in 192 diagnostic centers across multiple cities in Tamil Nadu, with a structured questionnaire contained 34 questions. Based on the responses received on the actual practices followed by diagnostic centers to contain Radiation risk, Radiological Compliance Index (RCI) was estimated. The analysis has revealed that Top Management Commitment was very low with a RCI score of 2.02 (Moderate Presence of AERB recommended best practices) and Operations “Know-Know” was high with a score of 4.40 (High Presence of AERB recommended best practices). The comparative analysis of RCI between National Accreditation Board for testing and Laboratories (NABL) accredited (RCI Score 3.19) and Non NABL (RCI Score 3.18) diagnostic centers has indicated that the accreditation did not significantly influence the compliance. The Pearson correlation co-efficient has established moderately positive correlation with Revenue (+ 0.321) & Patient Queue size (+0.293) on RCI. This study has concluded with sufficient evidence and analysis that Private Diagnostic Centers need to focus on appointing Radiation Safety Officer, monitoring radiation exposure dosage, periodical equipment service, continuous training of their staff and periodical QA tests for equipment fitness in order to achieve significant regulatory compliance maturity levels. This research has further recommended similar research in private diagnostic laboratories in other states in India and comparative analysis of compliance to AERB guide lines between Government Hospitals and Private Diagnostic Centers.

History of citrus growing in northeast India is as old as the tradition of citrus as its natural home of citrus hots-spots. Unfortunately, citrus of late is being tagged highly uncomfortable in its natural homeyard in northeast India, with some exceptions in Garo hills of Meghalaya and Pasighat of Arunachal Pradesh. Multiple nutrient deficiencies backed up by staggering nutrient mining have made citrus suffer from both production as well as quality issues, besides other issues of early onset of citrus decline and reduced post -harvest shelf life. Such depleted production incentives have put citrus growing on back-foot. Distinct absence of nutrient diagnostics coupled with lack of balanced fertilization have further hiked the miseries of citrus growers in the region. Citrus -based Soil health Card is another missing link putting citrus growers always managing their citrus orchards with complete guess-work, a complete sorry-state-of-affair, unless something too early and too quickly is done in this direction before it becomes too late and too little. Research need a complete reorientation in their objectivity of citrus nutrition with an eye on organic citrus integrating agroecological considerations using strictly adopted on-farm citrus module coupled with contingency irrigation planning by holding surplus rainwater.

In the early twentieth century, nutrition was a developing science, emerging at the intersection of physiological questions and the public health concerns and approaches embodied by the field of hygiene. Its rising status as an independent research field converged with the growing self-confidence of American physiology and with the expansion of international scientific communities. In these crucial decades for American physiology, Francis Gano Benedict, director of the Carnegie Nutrition Laboratory, made seven extended tours of European laboratories that specialized in the study of nutrition, biocalorimetry, metabolism, and respiration gas analysis. The reports of his tours show the strategies and challenges of establishing a new laboratory with leadership intentions in the international arena and of creating and coordinating a community of researchers across the boundaries of language, politics, laboratories, and methods.

ABSTRACT There is increasing appreciation that dietary components influence and interact with genes important to metabolism. How such influences impact developmental regulation and programming or risks of chronic diseases remains unclear. Nutrition is recognized to affect development and chronic diseases, but our understanding about how genes essential to nutrient metabolism regulate development and impact risks of these diseases remains unclear. Historically, mammalian models, especially rodents such as rats and mice, have been the primary models used for nutrition and developmental nutrition science, although their complexity and relatively slow rate of development often compromise rapid progress in resolving fundamental, genetic-related questions. Accordingly, the objective of this review is to highlight the opportunities for developmental models in the context of uncovering the function of gene products that are relevant to human nutrition and provide the scientific bases for these opportunities. We present recent studies in zebrafish related to obesity as applications of developmental models in nutritional science. Although the control of external factors and dependent variables, such as nutrition, can be a challenge, suggestions for standardizations related to diet are made to improve consistency in findings between laboratories. The review also highlights the need for standardized diets across different developmental models, which could improve consistency in findings across laboratories. Alternative and developmental animal models have advantages and largely untapped potential for the advancement of nutrigenomics and nutritionally relevant research areas.

The last twenty years have been a time of intense public debates on social policy in India. There have also been major initiatives, such as the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, as well as resilient inertia in some fields. This book brings together some of Jean Drèze's contributions to these debates, along with other short essays on social development. The essays span the gamut of critical social policies, from education and health to poverty, nutrition, child care, corruption, employment, and social security. There are also less predictable topics such as the caste system, corporate power, nuclear disarmament, the Gujarat model, the Kashmir conflict, and universal basic income. The book aims at enlarging the boundaries of social development, towards a broad concern with the sort of society we want to create. The concluding essay, on public-spiritedness and solidarity, argues that the cultivation of enlightened social norms is an integral part of development. "Jholawala" has become a disparaging term for activists in the Indian business media. This book affirms the learning value of collective action combined with sound economic analysis. In his detailed introduction, the author argues for an approach to development economics where research and action are complementary and interconnected.

AbstractPandemics continue to affect the edifice of India’s biosecurity threatening food, nutrition, health, livelihood, biodiversity and ecosystem services. Rapid, largescale movement of people and material in a globalised world, climate change and inadequate surveillance will exacerbate pandemics in the years to come. Despite vaccines, synthetic drugs, agrochemicals playing a key role in mitigation, cascading problems of resistance, resurgence, food safety, biodiversity, and ecosystem services is a stark reality. For India to be a part of preparedness, transformational changes in transboundary pest surveillance, strict quarantine, rapid molecular diagnosis, anticipatory research, and training are essential. Transparency, political commitment, investment in research and development, analysis and interpretation of bigdata, meta-analysis, multi-lateral institutional/international cooperation is the way forward for preparedness and biosecurity. Pandemics need a united regional and global approach rather than mere national focus.

AbstractLivestock sector is the backbone of Indian agriculture and plays a crucial role in the development of the rural economy. More than one-fifth (23%) of agricultural households with area less than 0.01 hectare reported livestock as their principal source of income (GoI Government of India (2014) Key indicators of situation of agricultural). Livestock is one of the fastest-growing sectors of Indian agriculture. While the share of overall agriculture and allied sectors in Gross Value Added (GVA) declined from 18.2% in 2014–15 to 17.8% in 2019–20, the share of livestock sector in GVA increased from 4.4% to 5.1% in the same period (GoI Government of India (2021) The economic survey (2020–21). Ministry of Finance. Government of India). Livestock sector accounts for 31% of the gross value of output in agriculture and allied sector (GVOA). Within livestock, milk is the biggest component with 20% share in GVOA. In fact, milk is the largest agriculture commodity in terms of value of output worth INR 772,705 crores in 2018–19 which was more than the value of cereals, pulses, oilseeds and sugarcane combined worth INR 623,462 crores (MoSPI. (2021). National Accounts Statistics 2020. Central Statistical Organization. Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation.). Around 70 million of rural households are engaged in milk production, most of them are landless, marginal, and small farmers (NCAER. (2020). Analyzing Socio-Economic Impact of National Dairy Plan—I. National Council for Applied Economic Research. February 2020.). As a source of livelihood for million of poor households, dairying also supplements their dietary sources of protein and nutrition thus playing a critical role in the country’s food security needs.

AbstractCoffee leaf rust (CLR), caused by Hemileia vastatrix (Hv), is one of the main limiting factors of Arabica coffee production worldwide. Breeding for rust resistance is the most appropriate and sustainable strategy to control CLR. The characterization of coffee resistance to Hv, initiated in the 1930s in India, expanded with the creation of Coffee Rusts Research Center (CIFC) in 1955, in Portugal. Since then, the screening of coffee resistance to Hv races, from different geographical origins, has been carried out assisting breeding programmes of coffee growing countries and originating over 90% of the resistant varieties cultivated worldwide. However, the high adaptability of Hv has resulted in the gradual loss of resistance of some varieties. Thus, the characterization of new sources of resistance is crucial, also to face the recent epidemic resurgence of CLR across Latin America and the Caribbean.Here, we provide a protocol for the screening of coffee resistance to Hv using different methods of inoculation on attached and detached leaves and on leaf disks. Information on environmental and pathogenicity factors that may affect the assessment of coffee resistance is also presented. This protocol allows the characterization of rust resistance on coffee mutants at laboratories, greenhouses, and field conditions.

Abstract The Malthusian predictions of the future have not come to pass due largely to innovative agricultural technologies and practices that stimulated significant gains in agricultural productivity. This chapter examines the linkages between innovation, productivity, and sustainability. The definition of agricultural productivity, measured as total factor productivity (TFP), will be explained, as well as the contribution of innovation to global TFP growth and the contribution of TFP to sustainable food and agriculture systems. To illustrate these connections, this chapter highlights innovative technologies and practices used by crop and livestock producers in the United States, Colombia, India, Kenya, and Vietnam. These cases demonstrate how advanced seed technologies, improvements in soil health and nutrient management, mechanization, and an emphasis on animal health drive productivity growth around the world. Many of these cases feature partnerships between the public sector, private sector, and producers where innovations and new practices are used to increase productivity, incomes, food security, and nutrition. Creating an enabling policy environment is essential for agricultural innovation, productivity, and sustainability; the chapter gives examples of public policies that stimulate such productivity: investing in public sector research and development (R&D), embracing science-based technologies, and establishing smart regulatory environments. The chapter includes a discussion of innovation, productivity, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The VISIR Open Lab Platform designed at the Department of Electrical Engineering (AET), the Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH), Sweden, is a platform for opening instructional laboratories for remote access 24/7 with preserved context. VISIR is an acronym for Virtual Instrument Systems in Reality. In VISIR laboratories, students perform physical experiments and laboratory work remotely. A unique interface gives them the feeling of “being there.” The platform software is published under a GPL license, and other universities, schools, et cetera, are invited use it to open their laboratories and to participate in further research and development. Apart from BTH, five universities in Europe have set up VISIR online laboratories for electrical experiments and the Indian Institute of Technology Madras in India will set up one soon. A VISIR community has been established. Common projects are initiated, and the sharing of learning material is being discussed. This chapter is a general introduction to VISIR and its possibilities.

The education system in India is experiencing a period of innovation and evolution. Achievement gaps and disparate outcomes have shown that efforts to implement educational equality (the attempt to treat every student the same) has failed students from certain backgrounds. This highlights the need to progress towards new approach based on educational equity (addressing each student's individual needs) for the benefit of students, who failed to respond in desired manner to equality-based efforts, and also those who have been neglected, or marginalized. The broad objectives of present study is (1) to study the role and functions of enabling units/cells, (2) to understand the challenges faced by students with special needs in higher education institutes and colleges, and (3) to list the ICT solutions provided and practiced. The opinion of students was gathered on barrier faced due to infrastructure such as laboratories, washrooms, classrooms, library, cafeteria, conference halls, the pedagogy practices and ICT solutions available within the programs offered.

At independence in 1947, the visible legacy of colonial rule in South Asia was the modern infrastructure that the regime had left behind, the ports, canals, the telegraph, sanitation, medical care, urban waterworks, universities, postal system, courts of law, railways, meteorological office, statistical systems, and scientific research laboratories. All of it involved British knowhow, adapted to the Indian environment with Indian help, and assisted governance directly or indirectly. But once built, such assets did not serve only the empire but also helped private enterprise and ordinary people lead better lives. Chapter 8 shows the motivations that drove these projects and the effects they produced.

Abstract In order to understand religion and the everyday practices of religion, it is necessary to study the life of religion in institutions that are considered antithetical to religion, such as scientific laboratories and scientific institutions. Studying religion at non-religious sites provides new insights into understanding the life of religion in these times and the many forms that it takes to survive and adapt. This chapter analyses the life of religion in an Indian scientific research institution based on ethnographic fieldwork. By studying the intermingling of science and religion in India, this chapter looks at the complexity, plurality, and ambiguity of the sciences and faith in everyday life. Studying religion and religious practices in scientific institutions and laboratories equips sociologists and social anthropologists to ask and understand multiple questions regarding the everyday religious life; work culture; existing and emerging cultural nationalisms; and caste practices. By looking at non-sites of religion to understand religion and religious practices, this chapter invites scholars to ask fresh methodological questions in studying religion and the everyday at such sites.

India has seen a phenomenal growth and occupies the top three positions in production from last decades in production of horticulture produce, dairy and meat products over the last decade. But at present, India's share in global farm trade is still very small even with such large production volumes. This is mainly caused due to lack of cold chain infrastructure which includes both storage and transportation facilities. The cold chain industry in India is still at a nascent stage and despite large production of perishables, the cold chain potential still remain untapped due to high share of single commodity cold storage, high initial investment (for refrigerator units and land), lack of enabling infrastructure like power & roads, lack of awareness for handling perishable produce and lapse of service either by the storage provider or the transporter leading to poor quality produce. Cold chain systems are crucial to the growth of global trade in perishable products and to the worldwide availability of food and health supplies.

Recently Gas Flow Calibration System (GFCS) has been established in the Fluid Flow Measurement Standard group of NPLI in the flow range from 10 sccm (standard cubic centimeter per minute) to 1000 slm (standard litre per minute) at 0 ºC and 101.325 kPa. The expanded measurement uncertainty of the system in the above flow range is ±0.2 % at k=2. This GFCS is suitable for calibration of different types of flowmeters i.e. mass flow controllers, mass flow meters, rotameters, totalizer type meters, digital flow calibrators, compact provers, etc. used in many research, development and industrial applications mainly process controls, environmental monitoring, pharmaceuticals and drugs manufacturing, health assessment etc. and also in many NABL accredited laboratories. Present paper describes the details of the GFCS architecture and calibration of a rotameter (i.e. volumetric flow rate device) as a case study. The uncertainty has been estimated as per ISO ´GUM’ document guidelines [1]. The standards used for calibration are traceable to appropriate “National standards”

The vibrations involved in a typical axial compressor rotor in an aircraft engine are complex. Generally, the compressor blades are arranged in a cantilever type configuration. It is also known that the amplitude of vibration is highest near the tip section of the shroudless blade. Compressors are limited by aerodynamic instabilities such as rotating stall and surge. Rotating stall generally initiates near the tip region of the compressor. Blade vibrations coupled with aerodynamic instabilities will lead to a catastrophic scenario of flutter that is asynchronous to the rotor speed. This aeroelastic interaction is detrimental if not taken into consideration. Knowledge of vibration characteristics of the compressor rotor will help in mapping the flutter zone for safe operation. The modal characteristics of the transonic axial compressor rotor available at the Axial Flow Compressor Research (AFCR) facility of National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL) are established in this study. A cyclic-symmetric pre-stressed modal analysis is performed on a single sector of the compressor rotor consisting of a shroudless blade connected to the disk with a pin type dovetail arrangement for different speeds. The main diagnostic charts for turbomachinery vibration i.e., Campbell and Interference diagrams are generated for various speeds and harmonic indices/ nodal diameters of the compressor rotor. The critical crossings of the engine order excitation lines over the natural frequencies of the blade are highlighted. Experimental modal investigations and analysis are carried out on the compressor rotor at the stationary condition and for two different boundary conditions. First, the blade alone modal characteristics under the free-free condition are established. Later, the complete blade-disk assembly mounted on a base test-stand is used to investigate the cantilever fixed-free boundary condition of the chosen blade. The modal characteristics are established by performing impact hammer experiments. Blade excitation is provided by a calibrated Dytran make impact hammer and the response is measured using a calibrated accelerometer. The structural dynamic data acquisition hardware and software from OROS is used for determining the natural frequencies, mode shapes and structural damping for each mode of the compressor rotor. There is a good agreement in the natural frequencies and mode shapes established using experiment and numerical methods for the first three modes investigated. Modal Assurance Criteria (MAC) analysis is carried out for two different modal identification algorithms to compare the mode shapes.

In 22nd SGEM International Multidisciplinary Scientific GeoConference 2022. STEF92 Technology, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.5593/sgem2022/3.1/s13.38.

The paper presents the complex pedological framework where the high-precision sensors from the meteorological stations are tested in order to remotely transmit the soil parameters with express reference to the NPK content and the water content of the soil. In the context of climate change, the interest in continuous, "in situ" knowledge of soil moisture and macroelement content is high because soil properties are correlated with the mathematical simulation of how crops are formed on agricultural plots. While regional simulation has been operational worldwide for over two decades, during which prediction errors have decreased significantly, remote measurement of NPK and soil moisture with the required accuracy at the local scale, at the level of agricultural plots, is still under investigation. It is necessary to continue the research in this context because the collection of soil samples in order to determine the properties of the soil in the laboratory is becoming more and more restrictive due to the high prices. The determination of soil parameters in the laboratory cannot be completely replaced by remote measurements, but the latter method ensures, if the sensors are properly calibrated and calibrated, a high degree of accuracy and can complete the information provided by pedological laboratories specializing in hydrophysics or agrochemistry. On the other hand, the development of precision agriculture exerts an important pressure in the direction of the development of research on the digitization of agricultural parameters to allow sufficiently accurate measurements at the plot scale, the hydrophysical and agrochemical properties being essential. To be relevant on this scale, the sensors must be calibrated to provide real data, especially for the phenological phases in which the plant is sensitive to various stresses: water, nutrition, disease attacks and pests.Referring only to water stress and NPK content, in the absence of the actual value of surface moisture, and the content of macroelements, the simulation of the "sowing-sunrise" period, greatly influenced by the water available for seed germination, may be affected by significant errors., the results of the simulations being uncertain or even wrong. To date, farmers have relied almost exclusively on the results of NPK determinations and soil moisture in the laboratory, which involves a great deal of financial effort. Now they can continuously know, in addition to the standard weather data provided by meteorological stations, the content of macroelements and the gravimetric humidity of the soil at a given time by transmitting data remotely via satellites. The field experiments followed the methodological framework that is summarized in this paper and took place between September 2021 and May 2022, in pilot agricultural areas in different geographical areas: Baneasa (Bucharest), Fundulea (Calarasi) and Dabuleni (Dolj).

This paper traces the development path adopted for the SCWR, including the directions taken for innovative collaboration (R&D+i). In the pre-conceptual design work, instead of taking a fixed concept, the constraints and resulting design targets are defined first. By encouraging innovation, the motivation for the work is not just the size of the R&D funding for a single project, but rather the scale and opportunity of the technology challenge and the potential for attracting grass-roots support at all levels. From the beginning of the Generation IV ideas, the SCWR has taken a somewhat different path from other systems. Learning from the historical lessons of earlier unsuccessful designs of gas-cooled and liquid metal-cooled concepts, the SCWR targets the twin aims of increased efficiency and low cost by leveraging conventional thermal technology while also improving safety and avoiding open-ended development. By working with universities nationally, and other partners internationally, a wider R&D+i activity was possible that was not constrained by any early time-frame demonstration project. As a result, presently a number of unique and creative achievements stand out, where the collaborative SCWR R&D+i partnership is very different from other systems in approach, potential and scope by: a) Providing an open opportunity for some 30 countries to share their development efforts, while representing major global industrial and economic development (the 24 EU nations, plus Canada, Japan, Russia, China, India, Korea and others) without the impediments of any “national” demonstration projects; b) Allowing differing design concepts to flourish, from simple systems to more complex ideas, with process heat and hydrogen production applications emerging naturally, providing flexibility in application and design approach; c) Encouraging extensive educational research opportunities, ideas and contributions outside national laboratories, providing a unique framework for quality assurance that meets the needs of industry, universities and other partners worldwide, as well as a coordinated effort within the Generation IV International Forum and the IAEA cooperative research efforts; d) Examining many innovations (e.g., on alternate thermal cycles, fuel cycles and energy uses) without impacting any specific demonstration, so the testing and research are based largely on new capability development, without committing large funding to design teams with already fixed or unrealizable concepts. This paper describes this new R&D+i concept and its potential directions and results.

Despite growing interest and recognition of urban and peri-urban agriculture (UPA) as a nature- based solution, there is limited empirical evidence in countries like India on its role in reconfiguring goals on environmental functions (such as biodiversity, waste management, water recycling, micro-climate regulation, etc.) and social wellbeing (such as food and nutrition security, gender relations, work burdens, land tenure and community ties). A need to address this gap led to the ideation of the project ‘Urban and peri-urban agriculture as green infrastructures’ ( UPAGrI ). When UPAGrI started in 2019, the research on UPA in India was thin but growing. However, the practical experience of urban farming across Indian cities is thriving and diverse, built on decades of bottom-up experimentation. Within the landscape of our ever-changing cities, we found vibrant communities-of-practice sharing seeds and knowledge, engaged online influencers discussing composting and water reuse, and stories of farming becoming sites of multi-generational bonding and nutritional security. This compendium is a collection of 29 such innovative UPA practices from across the different cities in the country. These diverse case studies are loosely categorized into four themes: environment and sustainability; food, nutrition and livelihood; gender and subjective well-being; and urban policy and planning. Written mostly by practitioners themselves, the case studies collectively recognise and celebrate UPA innovations and practices, serving as a repository of lessons for peer-to-peer learning, and demonstrating how UPA can be one of the many solutions towards sustainable, liveable Indian cities.

Labour abuse in the garment industry has been widely reported. This qualitative research explores the lived experiences in communities with bonded labour in Tamil Nadu, India. We conducted a qualitative expert-led analysis of 301 life stories of mostly women and girls. We also explore the differences and similarities between qualitative expert-led and participatory narrative analyses of life stories of people living near to and working in the spinning mills. Our findings show that the young female workforce, many of whom entered the workforce as children, are seen and treated as belonging – body, mind and soul – to others. Their stories confirm the need for a feminist approach to gender, race, caste and work that recognises the complexity of power. Oppression and domination have material, psychological and emotional forms that go far beyond the mill. Almost all the girls reported physical and psychological exhaustion from gendered unpaid domestic work, underpaid hazardous labour, little sleep, poor nutrition and being in unhealthy environments.
