In India, around 15 percent of the mountainous area is susceptible to landslide. The frequency and magnitude of landslide occurrence has increased due to anthropogenic activities in the hilly region. This has resulted in massive damage to property and infrastructure, besides loss of human lives. On 30th July 2014, a landslide occurred at Malin village, Pune district, Maharashtra which resulted in loss of life and infrastructure. In order to reduce the risk from potential landslide, there is a need to generate a Landslide Susceptibility Zonation (LSZ) map of the area for an effective and efficient disaster management. To obtain LSZ map of Malin watershed relevant thematic layers pertaining to the causative factors for landslide occurrences, such as slope, aspect, drainage, lineaments, soil and road, have been generated using field survey, an...

Water is the most crucial for maintaining an environment and ecosystem which is helpful to sustaining all forms of the life. The increasing water scarcity day to day has been one of the common problems over a period of time. On top of it, when the area is a part of rain shadow zone like Ahmednagar district, water conservation activities are become more important. The present study aims to identify the suitable zones for water conservation activity. Multi- criteria evaluation is carried out using Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques to help the choice makers in defining suitable site for construction of water conservation structures. Different layers which were considered for multi-criteria evaluation: slope, land use land cover, soil texture, lithology, soil depth, soil erosion, wells, lineaments and drainage network. A...

When technician share information it benefits if it is intuitive, informative and simple and Common people able to understand they does not demand expert skills to understand and complicated formats. This master thesis has the aim to investigate open source software tools to design a web map application that can be used by any University, Government Department, Institute or NGO to distribute their data over internet .The Java platform to be implemented is the open source Open Layers which allow users to view and potentially manipulate GIS map data through a web map application.
GIS data made available on the Google sites (the host site for the application) can be shared to users worldwide. The user can simply add from a list of available data layers, choose background (e.g. satellite view, Road map, Terrain View with label etc.), and zoom in and out. The data distributed from the Google sites can also be viewed and accessed from smart phones which open the possibility to make the public part of the larger data gathering task of specific scientific inventories like observations of migrating birds view, or whatever indicator a specific technician is interested in. Data is uploaded to the Google sites and can then be analyzed and the result is distributed to the public.

This study was undertaken to assess the distribution, clinical presentation and treatment of patients with rare coagulation factor deficiency disorders in a cross-sectional population of India. Blood samples and other clinical details from patients suspected of rare coagulation factor deficiencies were collected by the Haemophilia Treatment Centers across India and were diagnosed at National Institute of Immunohaematology, Mumbai. A total of 321 cases of rare clotting factor deficiencies were diagnosed, of which 88% were severe, 10% moderate and 2% mild. Commonest deficiency encountered was factor XIII (FXIII) (30%) followed by FX (15.6%), FVII (15%), fibrinogen (12.1%), FXI (9%), combined V and VIII deficiency (5.6%) and congenital multiple vitamin K-dependent coagulation factor deficiency (MCFD, 2.1%). Major representation of these deficiencies was from Southern and Western India (82%). Mucocutaneous bleeding was the commonest clinical presentation (59%); intracranial (IC) haemorrhage was seen in 18% of the patients; menorrhagia was an important clinical pointer in women in the reproductive age group (78%); 8% of the severe cases had no history of bleeding and 73% of the FXIII deficiency cases had umbilical stump bleeding. The major therapeutic products used was fresh frozen plasma (64%), cryoprecipitate (15%), whole blood (15%), antifibrinolytics (5%) and recombinant FVIIa (1%). A distinct pattern in the distribution of rare clotting factor deficiencies was observed which was based on multiple factors that include ethnicity and the available diagnostic facilities in different regions of this vast country.
