  • District Hiv/Aids Epidemiological Profiles
    DISTRICT HID/AIDS EPIDEMIOLOGICAL PROFILES Developed using data triangulation Assam Factsheet 2014 Assam State AIDS Control Society Khanapara, Guwahati-22 Foreword The National AIDS Control Programme (NACP) is strongly evidence-based and evidence-driven. Based on evidence from ‘Triangulation of Data’ from multiple sources and giving due weightage to vulnerability, the organizational structure of NACP has been decentralized to identified districts for priority attention. The programme has been successful in creating a robust database on HIV/AIDS through the HIV Sentinel Surveillance system, monthly programme reporting data and various research studies. However, the district level focus of the programme demands consolidated information that helps better understand HIV/AIDS scenario in each district, to enable effective targeting of prevention and treatment interventions to the vulnerable population groups and geographic areas. This technical document prepared by the SIMU division of Assam SACS is a follow up exercise of the detailed District epidemiological profiles report 2013 prepared using the information collected and analyzed during the data triangulation exercise conducted during 2011-12. The 2013 report provided useful information support to the district level health functionaries but at the same time we were informed that a concise report will be even better. So, keeping this in mind, the 2014 report is being prepared in a factsheet format which is adapted from the District Epidemiological factsheets prepared by NACO and using updated information. The reports are prepared by some of the ICTC, PPTCT, Blood bank and STI counselors who are supported by a group of Public Health experts from medical colleges and state programme officials and we are grateful to each of them for their support in this activity.

Fourteen communities living in the area have been found to be involved in different traditional fish preservation practices. Out of them, Bengali-speaking Kaibarta, Riparian Muslim and Khasi communities are exporting processed fish varieties to outside the region and the rest of the communities are preparing processed fishes mostly for household consumption and selling in the local markets. Sixty-one different fish species belonging to seven orders and twenty families are used to prepare five different types of processed fish varieties. Other than fishes, local prawns are also dried. The most popular types of fish processing methods in the region are sun- drying, smoking and shidal (a type of fermented fish paste). KEYWORDS:Tradition, Fish preservation, Sun-drying, Smoking, Salting, Shidal --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date of Submission: 10-11-2020 Date of Acceptance: 26-11-2020 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- I.

    Eco. Env. & Cons. 26 (3) : 2020; pp. (1212-1217) Copyright@ EM International ISSN 0971–765X Effect of Arsenic contaminated ground water on the developmental phenomena of primary-school children in Assam Ananta Kumar Jena, Munmi Barman, Somnath Gupta, Jaishree Devi, Satarupa Bhattacharjee and Sabina Yeasmin Barbhuiya Department of Education, Assam University, Silchar 788 011, Assam, India (Received 24 January, 2019; accepted 3 March, 2020) ABSTRACT Cognitive development is a part of neuroscience related with development of human being.

In this case-control study, 225 primary school children from 20 schools of Jorhat, Assam, India, participated who consumed expected moderate and low levels of arsenic contaminated groundwater getting from tube well both inside and outside the school campus. The amount of arsenic present in the sample was determined through spectrophotometer and arsenic assessment kits.

It was resulted that there was a significant positive relationship between arsenic and the developmental phenomena of primary school children. Key words : Arsenic contaminated ground water, Cognitive developmental phenomena, Latent constructs, Neuroscience Introduction ied through brain imaging and mental chronometry (Houdé and Borst, 2014).
