Abstract:
This paper includes the functions and other features of the invented devices “Izana Kidney Meter” and “APHV Meter”, which are fully non-electric and non-invasive. Izana Kidney Meter helps achieve or obtain the values of eGFR as per Serum Creatinine, eGFR as per Serum Cystatin C, Combined eGFR, CKD or G Stages, Kidney Length, Right Renal Parenchymal Thickness, and normal range maximum value of this Ratio (Cys C/ Cr). On the other hand, APHV Meter helps get the values of Age Peak Height Velocity & Maturity Offset (in the growing children, Age Group: 8-16 years). The Accuracy and the Result-Speed of these devices have been tested against the widely accepted standardized tools and devices. This paper includes these Test-Results.

Abstract:
महर्षि दयानंद सरस्वती, भारत के महान समाज-सुधारक और आर्य समाज के संस्थापक, ने भारतीय संस्कृति, वेदों एवं योग साधना के महत्व को पुनः स्थापित करने में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाई। उन्होंने योगसाधना को केवल शारीरिक व्यायाम न मानकर, इसे मानव जीवन के शारीरिक, मानसिक, बौद्धिक और आध्यात्मिक पक्षों के साथ संपूर्ण विकास, का मार्ग बताया है। स्वामी जी ने योगसाधना को आत्मज्ञान, ब्रह्मज्ञान तथा मोक्ष प्राप्ति के लिए एक अनिवार्य साधन मानते है। उनका दृढ निष्चिय था कि योग के अभ्यास से मानव न केवल अपने जीवन को अनुशासित बनाता है, बल्कि समाज एवं राष्ट्र की प्रगति में भी योगदान देता है। योगसाधना के लिए उन्होने मुख्यतः उपासनायोग षब्द का प्रयोग किया है। स्वामी जी द्वारा प्रतिपादित योग साधना के सिद्धांतों, उनके व्यावहारिक स्वरूप तथा उनके सामाजिक एवं दार्शनिक प्रभाव का विश्लेषण किया गया है। महर्षि ने पतंजलि योगसूत्र के आधार पर ही अश्टांगयोग के अंगों (यम, नियम, आसन, प्राणायाम, प्रत्याहार, धारणा, ध्यान और समाधि) को जीवन में लागू करने की आवश्यकता पर बल दिया। उनके अनुसार यम और नियम के पालन से नैतिक और सामाजिक जीवन को सुदृढ़ किया जा सकता है, जबकि ध्यान और समाधि जैसे आंतरिक अभ्यास से व्यक्ति आध्यात्मिक ऊँचाइयों को प्राप्त कर सकता है। योगसाधना को वैदिक जीवनशैली के साथ जोड़ते हुए इसे जीवन के प्रत्येक क्षेत्र में लागू करने की आवश्यकता पर बल दिया। उनके विचार में योग केवल व्यक्तिगत साधना तक सीमित नहीं है, बल्कि यह सामाजिक और राष्ट्रीय उत्थान का भी मार्ग है। योग साधना के माध्यम से व्यक्ति अपने शरीर, मन और आत्मा में संतुलन स्थापित कर सकता है, जिससे वह अपने कर्तव्यों का निर्वहन अधिक प्रभावी ढंग से कर पाता है।

Abstract:
This research demonstrates a physics-based remote sensing approach to evaluate the water quality of the Majalgaon Dam, a critical reservoir in a semi-arid region of Maharashtra, India. Surface water bodies play a major role in availing freshwater for domestic and agricultural activities in this region. The study integrated in-situ water quality data with Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, which has the capability to assess water quality through a series of captured scenes, to calculate the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) for mapping water extent and the Normalized Difference Turbidity Index (NDTI) for assessing turbidity. In-situ analysis revealed critically low dissolved oxygen and elevated ammoniacal nitrogen, indicating significant organic pollution, despite low measured turbidity. The remote sensing analysis successfully mapped the reservoir's water body (~65 km²) using NDWI, while NDTI values, with an average of -0.122 and a standard deviation of 0.077, corroborated the low in-situ turbidity and revealed spatial patterns of sediment input near inflows. The findings validate Sentinel-2's efficacy for scalable water quality assessment and highlight severe pollution concerns. This integrated methodology provides a cost-efficient, practical framework for environmental managers, enabling large-scale, repeatable monitoring to support targeted interventions and sustainable water resource management in semi-arid regions.

Abstract:
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) remote sensing is a critical tool for monitoring soil surface parameters like moisture content (mv) and roughness (s) [7,21]. This paper evaluates the efficacy of SAR for retrieving these parameters in the semi-arid, drought-prone Marathwada region of Maharashtra, India, characterized by challenging vertisol soils. We integrated local in-situ soil data (2023-2024) with a hybrid retrieval approach combining the physical Integral Equation Model (IEM) and a Random Forest machine learning algorithm. Our results demonstrate that C-band (Sentinel-1) simulations are highly sensitive to the region's low moisture levels (mv ~0.04–0.05 m³/m³), with backscatter (σ⁰) increasing by 5–6 dB as moisture rises to 0.20–0.30 m³/m³ [4,5]. The hybrid model, validated against ground data, achieved an estimated Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) ≈ 0.04–0.05 m³/m³ for mv, outperforming standalone physical models [2,3]. The study underscores the transformative potential of the newly launched NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) mission for operational soil moisture monitoring in Marathwada, providing a scalable solution for precision agriculture and sustainable land management in semi-arid regions globally [4].

  • Role of Agricultural Extension Services and Socioeconomic Factors in Shaping Plant Disease Management Practices Among Farmers of Rajasthan: A KAP-Based Analysis

Abstract:
Agricultural extension services and socioeconomic characteristics are widely recognized as key drivers of technology adoption and knowledge uptake in smallholder farming systems. This study investigates the influence of extension service access, educational attainment, farm size, landholding pattern, and membership in farmer organizations on Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) related to plant disease management in Rajasthan, India. Using a structured KAP survey administered to 420 farmers across six agro-climatically diverse districts, this research employs multivariate regression analysis, path analysis, and stratified subgroup comparisons to disentangle the independent and mediated effects of socioeconomic variables on KAP outcomes. Results indicate that regular extension contact was associated with a 2.8-fold increase in composite KAP scores (β=0.43, p<0.001), while secondary education and above was associated with a 1.9-fold improvement over illiterate farmers (β=0.31, p<0.001). Farm size moderated the relationship between attitude and practice, with medium farmers showing significantly higher practice scores than marginal farmers despite comparable attitudinal scores. Membership in farmer producer organizations (FPOs) showed an independent positive effect on practices (OR=2.74, p=0.002), suggesting that collective action and peer learning are important behavioral levers. Path analysis confirmed that extension contact operates both directly on practices and indirectly through knowledge improvement. These findings have strong implications for the design of differential extension strategies targeting marginal farmers, illiterate communities, and those lacking organizational membership. A socially differentiated approach to agricultural extension is recommended to reduce KAP disparities and enhance equitable plant health management in Rajasthan.
