Abstract:
Schedule Caste Women had some basic problems and the different kinds of gender inequality were displayed in mortality, natality, basic facility, special opportunity professions, ownership, and household matters. Education can pave the way for an overall development of individuals and for the society. Female literacy is not only an end itself, but also serves as a catalyst for overall performance, in other segments too. Since women comprised the majority of the Schedule caste population in India. Among the Schedule Caste women, Arundhatiyar women population were below the poverty line and are very often in situations of extreme poverty, given the harsh realities of intra-household and social discrimination. this research paper mainly concentrates on status, survival and current dilemma of Scheduled Caste Arundhatiar women in Ranipet district of Tamil Nadu.

Abstract:
India’s legal system gives a decisive role to membership of a specific set of caste groups. Groups included in the schedule attached to the Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order of 1950 are the beneficiaries of special protections and provisions. This legislation appears to discriminate on grounds of caste. However, the Supreme Court permits such special treatment under the condition that the classification is reasonable: for one, it must be founded on intelligible differentiae which distinguish the persons grouped together from others left out of the group. Which intelligible differentiae then distinguish the groups that belong to the Scheduled Castes? This essay argues that this question was never answered in any satisfactory manner. The Constituent Assembly simply accepted the colonial division of the Indian population into ‘Caste Hindus’ and ‘Depressed Classes’. Yet, the colonial administration had also failed to find empirical tests that allowed it to identify the ‘Depressed Classes’ as a distinct set of castes. The notion of ‘untouchability’ did not help here, because it functioned as a label used to name a collection of practices. It was unclear how to identify the victims at the receiving end of ‘untouchability’, since these practices could be found both among groups classified as Depressed Classes and among those considered Caste Hindus. The conclusion is puzzling: in 1936, the British Monarch ordered how the people of India should be divided into Scheduled Castes and others. Since 1947, Indian political and intellectual elites have enforced this decree in their country through caste legislation.

Abstract:
The Scheduled Castes, according to the 2011 census, are 20.13 crores and constitute 16.6 per cent of the total population of the country and have long suffered from extreme social and economic backwardness. The Scheduled Castes category comprises many castes which share certain common handicaps in relation to the rest of the castes in society. They are quite distinct in caste hierarchy. They are economically dependent, educationally backward, politically suppressed, and socially the worst sufferers. Further they were classed as untouchables. The term scheduled castes refers to a list of castes prepared in 1935 by the British Government in India. But during the ancient period and medieval period they were known as Panchamas (fifth group), Chandalas (heathens or outeastes) and Antyajas (lowest class), and during the British period they came to be called first as Depressed Classes (dalitjatis) or Exterior Castes (avarnas), later as Harijans (children of God), and finally as Scheduled Castes (castes listed in the Government Schedule Article 341).

Abstract:
The present article focuses on a comparative study of the male-female disparity in literacy of two districts Purulia and North 24 Parganas in West Bengal, India. The Census data of 2011 has been used in this regard. The literacy rate has been calculated for the population above six-year, and Sopher’s Disparity index (1974) has been applied to measure the male-female disparity in literacy. The study examines the block-level male-female disparity in literacy among non-Schedule Caste (none-SC ST), Scheduled Castes (SC), and Scheduled Tribes (ST). The study highlights that North 24 Parganas is far ahead in terms of literacy than Purulia district. However, there is wide variation in block-level male-female disparity in literacy among the three-caste groups in both the districts. In block-level, the Bundwan block of Purulia district and Barasat-I and Deganga block of North 24 Parganas district occupies a remarkable place in terms of the male-female disparity in literacy among each three-caste group. Conversely, Jhalda-II block in Purulia and Hingalganj block of North 24 Parganas is the most backward block in terms of the male-female disparity in literacy among the all-caste groups. Although the Central and the State Government have taken various schemes to enhance literacy rates and eliminated the male-female disparity in education, more suitable steps need to be followed to implement appropriate measures towards education, especially for the women and other marginalised sections of the society.

Abstract:
Background: Patna and peripheral districts (Nalanda and Vaishali) have some dominated area of SC and ST population but the distribution and demographic details of these areas are not properly documented. The main objective of the paper is to analyze the status of the scheduled castes of Patna, with respect to size of the population, sex ratio, literacy level, marital status, occupation and income. Methodology: A pre-tested questionnaire containing information about demographic particulars like caste, age, gender, educational qualification, occupation and monthly income was administered through Mobile health care OPDs under the SCSP. Survey was conducted between the years 2018-2020. These data are shown to be suitable for evaluating the impact of demographic and socio-economic elements on regular health examinations. Result: The analysis of data clearly indicates that there were significant differences with the age group 13-20, 21-30 and >60, caste, with religion of Hindu and Muslim, educational status regarding semi-literate and graduate or above, Mizaj, diet habit and there were no significant differences with respect to gender, religion and addiction behaviour are noticed. By presenting the methods used in this survey and by describing the enquiries mentioned in the dataset, this article aims to promote data-collecting methodologies that can help policy-makers and health communicators derive practical conclusions. Conclusion: It can be concluded that there is significant difference in the age group of SC population. While there were no significant differences with respect to gender, religion and addiction behaviour was noticed. Most of the SC population belongs to balghami temperament and most preferred food habit of them is mixed mostly.

Abstract:
Agriculture is the most important sector of Indian Economy. Indian agriculture sector accounts for 18 per cent of India’s gross domestic product (GDP) and provides employment to 50% of the countries workforce. India is the world’s largest producer of Pulses, Paddy, Wheat, Spices and spice products. Andhra Pradesh is with agriculture as a major source of income for about 60% of its population. In the last 70 years, the annual growth rate of agriculture has been 2.88%, which is far below the target growth of 4% per annum. Even today maximum percentage of land and water resource potentiality is under the hands of few farmers (Forward caste) followed by Backward caste farmers, where as Schedule caste and Schedule Tribes farmers are the marginalized agricultural social groups. This situation has caused the disparities among farmers agricultural land and irrigation water potentiality. The present paper examined intraregional disparities in agriculture land holdings and irrigation potentiality in Guntur District of Andhra Pradesh.

Abstract:
Introduction: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the result of a combination of genetic, physiological, environmental and behavioral factors. Forty-one million people die each year due to NCDs, which is equivalent to 71% of all deaths globally. Objective: The study was done to estimate the prevalence of non-communicable diseases among five villages in the rural area of Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India. Methodology: The present study was an observational study carried out on 6516 patients visiting mobile healthcare OPD conducted under Schedule Caste Sub-Plan in schedule caste dominated villages (Kurana, Kalkheda, Bagoniya, Toomda and Dhamarra) of Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. Results: It was found that 49.82% of the people from these villages were suffering from non-communicable diseases. Conclusion: Nearly half of the population of this rural area was suffering from NCDs, therefore, people of rural areas are equally vulnerable to have NCDs. Urbanisation of lifestyle in rural population, poor education level and low economic status were the contributing factors.

Abstract:
Present study aimed to compare the incidence of menopausal problems and concomitants between tribe and caste population. This cross section study was conducted in five villages of West Bengal, a state in the eastern part of India. This study was conducted between two different ethnic groups—one of the “Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PTG)” of India named as “Lodha” and the other was a Bengali speaking caste population. A total number of 313 participants were finally recruited for this study. Study participants were married, had at least one child, had no major gynaecological problems, and had stopped menstrual bleeding spontaneously for at least 1 year. Additionally, data on sociodemographic status and menstrual and reproductive history were collected using a pretested questionnaire/schedule. Bivariate analyses (chi square test) revealed that significantly more number of caste participants suffered from urinary problems than their tribe counterpart. The reverse trend has been noticed for the frequency of vaginal problems. Multivariate analyses (binary logistic regression) show that sociodemographic variables and menstrual and reproductive history of the present study participants seem to be the concomitants of menopausal symptoms. Tribe and caste study population significantly differed with respect to the estrogen deficient menopausal problems and the concomitants to these problems.

Abstract:
Fertility is the main components of population growth. Children ever born vary in different sub groups of the same population in terms of age at marriage, age of women, literacy, occupation, contraception user and mass media exposure. The objective of this study is to find out association between children ever born and selected socio-demographic characteristics in lower caste women. A descriptive study was conducted in some selected wards of Pokhara, Nepal during April 2018. Five wards were selected randomly out of 33 wards and 187 lower caste women were selected using convenience sampling technique. The data was collected by using semi-structured interview schedule. Chi-square test was applied to find out association between children ever born and selected socio-demographic characteristics.Higher children ever born were concentrated in the age at marriage from 21 to 25 as compared to other groups of age at marriage. Practice of contraceptive use is low among lower caste people although 66.31% lower caste women were exposed to mass media. The result shows that the factors age at marriage, contraceptive use and mass media exposure were highly associated with children ever born among lower caste women under study (P<0.05). Education on fertility is more powerful than urban residence. Concern authorities should play vital role to increase education level among lower caste people for increasing age at marriage, contraceptive use and practice of family planning to reduce children ever born.

Abstract:
In relation to urbanization, findings suggest that the unemployment rate after migration tends to decline. States with higher urbanization levels reveal a larger increase in regular wage employment after migration. With an increase in city size, the migration rate rises mainly because employment prospects are better in large cities due to agglomeration effects. Migration, urban informal sector employment, and the proportion of the Scheduled Caste population in urban and rural areas are all positively associated, suggesting that the socially backward groups are more likely to migrate from rural areas and get absorbed in the urban informal sector. This pattern is accompanied by a decline in the incidence of poverty in both rural and urban areas: even the urban informal sector activities are able to provide relatively better job opportunities and higher living standards.

Abstract:
This chapter is based on a study prompted by concerns about delayed cases in Namibian magistrate courts. The purpose was to examine the prevailing records management practices. The study was conducted in seven regions which were purposively selected based on location or population. Data was collected by means of observations and face-to-face interviews. The study revealed that: some magistrate courts did not adhere to records management standards resulting in an absence of a records management policy, classification schemes, retention schedules, shortage of storage space, lack of physical security and untrained record staff. The study recommends employment of trained records personnel; staff awareness in the management of the Namibia Case Information System (NAMCIS); install CCTV and maintain air conditioners in records storage facilities; ensure that the National Archives of Namibia fast tracks the process of approving requests for transfer or destruction of magistrate courts' records; and uphold records management standards.

Abstract:
Health research contributes to the development of life-saving vaccines, innovative medical devices, new drugs, improved options for reproductive health, and to the better understanding and treatment of a wide range of diseases and disorders. Yet, pursuing these advancements often requires the participation of human subjects in studies, which involve interventions and procedures (e.g. randomization, blinding, fixed treatment schedules) that may not be in their direct interests and may involve risks to their wellbeing. This raises an ethical question for health research: when and why is it ethically justifiable to expose individuals to risks in the interests of advancing science and/or for the benefit of future populations? Research ethics in the context of health research with human subjects focuses on identifying and examining this question, and on reconciling our moral obligations to individuals with the goals and requirements of the scientific enterprise. The solution to this ethical tension and the ethical justification for research participation is perhaps best understood as depending on a broad range of considerations, including risks, benefits, informed consent, privacy, study design and location, and fair subject selection. Philosophical work in research ethics takes a number of different approaches. These include the application of moral theories to ethical questions (e.g. developing utilitarian arguments to defend germline gene modification in humans), efforts to derive ethical guidance from the examination of case studies (e.g. using a case study to analyse the requirement for informed consent), and approaches that draw both from theory and practice to answer ethical questions (e.g. duty of confidentiality in genetic counselling). One combined approach appeals to broad ethical principles to inform the analysis of human subjects research. We draw on this approach and examine four prominent ethical principles frequently invoked in philosophical debates in research ethics – social value, respect for persons, beneficence, and justice. The principle of social value requires that human subject research should have both scientific and social merit. Otherwise, exposing individual subjects to the risks and harms of research that is not able to produce useful knowledge nor provide direct benefit to research subjects will be unjustifiable. Furthermore, the requirement for social value promotes the responsible use of limited resources and helps reduce waste across the research enterprise. The requirement for respect for persons necessitates that research subjects should not be treated merely as means to an end (e.g. knowledge production) but as autonomous agents with their own preferences and values. One way of ensuring that research subjects are treated with respect is to obtain their informed consent before enrolling them in a study. In order for consent to be considered valid, certain conditions need to apply: first the consenting person should have access to appropriate information that will allow her to make an informed choice; second, the decision to participate in research should be voluntary, and third, the person should have capacity to consent. The principle of beneficence in the context of human subject research includes a negative obligation to avoid harm and a positive obligation to ensure that the risks of research stand in a reasonable relation to the knowledge to be gained. Finally, the principle of justice in human subject research focuses on the fair distribution of research harms and benefits. Initially, the principle of justice served to protect certain populations from the risks and harms of research, including children, pregnant women and marginalized populations. In recent decades, justice has also been conceptualized as an inclusionary principle, arguing for the inclusion of these populations previously excluded from research. The justification for this shift appeals to the right of these populations to the fair access of research benefits, including proven therapeutics.

Abstract:
Driven by Qatar National Vision 2030 and catering to the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Qatar is undertaking an extraordinary and ambitious programme of infrastructure development to deliver a world-class new and upgraded road infrastructure network. Projects designed to improve highway capacity, connectivity, and safety through the urban and rural parts of Qatar and to meet current and future demands of population and economic growth. In this paper, the authors discuss some of the most critical and challenging considerations in putting a planning and design process on a path to deliver successfully a bridge deck-widening project, implementing a collaborative approach. The case study of upgrading an existing ramp bridge will be presented, where the one lane deck was converted to two lanes to accommodate the heavy traffic flow. The fast-track construction schedule necessitated the widening from one side by 1.15m, while the extended slab was supported on a steel strut connected monolithically on the concrete box girder web (bottom) and extended part (top) through shear dowels. To meet the tight construction schedule and the local market material constraints, built-up sections were utilized with variable configurations along the length of the bridge. Further, several epoxy resin products were studied and utilized for the drilled bars on the extension part and the drilled dowels of the web. The replacement of the existing bearings was necessitated due to the additional weight of the extension.

Abstract:
This paper provides a case history of a highly successful approach that was developed and implemented for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for the cleanup and remediation of a large and diverse population of uranium mill tailings sites located in the Western United States. The paper addresses the key management challenges and lessons learned from the largest DOE Environmental Management Clean-up Project (in terms of number of individual clean-up sites) undertaken in the United States. From 1986 to 1996, the Department of Energy’s Grand Junction Projects Office (GJPO) completed approximately 4600 individual remedial action site cleanup projects for large- and small-scale properties, and sites contaminated with residual hazardous and radioactive materials from former uranium mining and milling activities. These projects, with a total value of $597 million, involved site characterization, remedial design, waste removal, cleanup verification, transportation, and disposal of nearly 2.7 million cubic yards of low-level and mixed low-level waste. The project scope included remedial action at 4,200 sites in Grand Junction, Colorado, and Edgemont, South Dakota; 412 sites in Monticello, Utah; and, 44 sites in Denver, Colorado. The projects ranged in size and complexity from the multi-year Monticello Millsite Remedial Action Project, which involved investigations, characterization, remedial design, and remedial action at this uranium millsite along with design of a 2.5 million cubic yard disposal cell, to the remediation and reconstruction of thousands of smaller commercial and residential properties throughout the Southwestern United States. Because these projects involved remedial action at a variety of commercial facilities, businesses, churches, schools and personal residences, and the transportation of the waste through towns and communities, an extensive public involvement program was the cornerstone of an effort to promote stakeholder understanding and acceptance. The Project established a DOE model for rapid, economical, and effective remedial action. During the ten years of the contract, the management operations contractor (Duratek) met all project milestones on schedule and under budget, with no cost growth from the original scope. By streamlining remediation schedules and techniques, ensuring effective stakeholder communications, and transferring lessons learned from one project to the next, the contractor achieved maximum efficiency and the lowest remediation costs of any similar DOE environmental programs at the time.

Abstract:
Abstract The current research focuses on data modeling of ESP (Electric Submersible Pumps) reliability by obtaining, through mathematical calculations, the parameters that define the Weibull shape (β), scale (ɳ) and location (ϒ) parameters. The scale parameter ɳ is the characteristic life at which 63.2% of the population has failed. These parameters can be helpful in characterizing failure behavior and the ESP system run life. This research stemed from the need to better understand failure behavior to improve maintenance program design and enhance equipment reliability.160 wells from four fields (7-21, 56, 57) of the Ecuadorian Oriente basin were analyzed. Well selection considered only the mechanic failures and excluded other type of failures leaving aside the ESP failures caused by operative issues (reservoir, completions, workover, redesign, zone change). Three mathematical tools were applied to determine the Weibull parameters more accurately. Another type of analysis could have limited this research since the normal distribution shows limitations with asymmetric data, and the exponential distribution assumes a fixed failure rate, but the ESP failure behavior is asymmetric and the failure rate is variable through time due to factors such as wear and also infant failures (e.g. installation errors). For these reasons, Weibull distribution is the best option because it fits asymmetric data better and it has a variable failure rate. Determining the value of the Weibull parameters can assist in answering questions such as: what percentage of failures is expected to occur in time? How many failures can be expected before the warranty period? When should regular maintenance be scheduled? Ultimately, Weibull parameters are the basis of any future reliability analysis. The Weibull parameters obtained in this study can be applied for future ESP reliability analyzes that are being operated in any field in the Oriente Basin of Ecuador. From the research, two relevant findings were foundThere are a significant number of failures in the initial stage of operation of the pumps,, which could be associated with the installation of the equipment, and the failure risk is drastically reduced in the equipment that reaches life time similar to the characteristic life (ɳ)and pumps that operate without failure to a time similar to characteristic life (ɳ) continue to follow this trend throughout their operating life. Initial stage failures are presumed to be associated with unanticipated conditions: solid binding, design errors, defective equipment, or assembly of equipment with reused and new parts. The performance of the ESP affects the productivity of the wells and therefore will influence decision-making to develop a field. The reliability of the ESP systems can favor the productivity of a field when the equipment works within its efficiency range without showing recurrent failures. This significantly improves field production costs and profitability.

Abstract:
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients need to meet with their Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) approximately every four months. In-between these scheduled visits, patients may contact the Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) via phone to express any health-related concerns. This often requires a phone evaluation before organizing an unscheduled appointment. Due to the sporadic nature of these phone calls, resources and time are often heavily affected. With the predicted increase of the adult CF patient population, there is a need for better ways to manage and educate patients on their condition. The aim of this ICT intervention is to reduce this effect by creating an online virtual Dr, that can be accessed by the patient from their own home. This Virtual Doctor (Dr) will generate a report and an initial evaluation that will be sent to the MDT to action. The patient is also provided with a response outlining when the team will be in contact. The system includes a Dr avatar with facial animations and 3D scene. The voice of the avatar is generated using Node.js along with the Amazon Web Services Polly. The Web Speech API speech recognition is used to provide the ability to recognize voice context from an audio input; in this case the patient's computer microphone. This allows for the patient's interaction with the avatar and the documentation of the answers. These answers are scored and used as a comparison to the patient's baseline health status. The patient's answers and scores are stored within a database and sent via email to the MDT for evaluation. The score informs the Virtual Dr's response and MDT report. It is anticipated that this tool will be of benefit to both patients and medical staff. By creating such a system, patients can learn about their own condition and health status, while improving time and resource management. A prototype of the system has been created in preparation for pilot testing with adult CF patients.
