ABSTRACT
Background: The COVID-19 Pandemic hit INDIA in March 2020. This pandemic lead to confinement of students at home for more than a year. This influenced their dietary behaviours and physical activity along with increase in stress levels. The net result of pandemic was alterations in weight, increasing the risk of obesity and diseases associated with obesity especially in affluent class. AIMS and OBJECTIVES: This study aims to evaluate the effect of confinement on body weight in students of 17-18 yrs of Jaipur and to identify the contributory factors. Material and Methods: A school based, cross-sectional, observational study was carried out from January 2021 to june 2021involving 300 students in age group of 17-18 years studying in private school belonging to affluent class. Students were made to fill a proforma regarding their daily lifestyle and physical activities. Physical activity was evaluated with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Weight before the pandemic confinement was compared to the post confinement weight. Data was analysed using DATAtab Team (2023). DATAtab: Online Statistics Calculator. DATA tab e.U. Graz, Austria. URL https://datatab.net/ Results: More than 50% of students gained significant weight during the pandemic. Only one third of participants were moderately physically active. Factors contributing to weight gain included increased consumption of unhealthy food, altered sleep pattern, increased screen time and decreased physical activity. Conclusion: The study showed that confinement lead to significant weight gain in students of affluent class .The findings showed the short term effects of pandemic confinement. This study during Covid19 confinement will help the health authorities in understanding and implementing newer policies for healthy lifestyle when newer pandemics waves arrive.

ABSTRACT
Background: Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important legume crop of tropical and sub-tropical areas of the world. This crop suffers from several diseases like early leaf spot, late leaf spot, rust, groundnut bud necrosis, peanut clump and collar rot etc. But collar rot caused by Aspergillus niger van Teighem is one of the most important seed and soil borne diseases causing huge economic (40-50 per cent) loss in India and abroad. Methods: A roving survey was conducted to assess the incidence of collar rot in eight major groundnut growing districts of western Rajasthan i.e. Bikaner, Jodhpur, Churu, Jalore, Jaipur, Sikar, Nagaur and Dausa during Kharif 2018. A field experiment was carried out for two consecutive years (2019 and 2020) to manage the disease through altering micro-climate under canopy with six levels of seed rates (80, 85, 90, 95, 100 and 105 kg/ha). Result: Our investigations cleared that this disease is prevalent in all the 200 fields surveyed in eight districts of Rajasthan with 22.99 per cent overall disease incidence which varied from 17.84 to 32.38 per cent with monetary losses. Maximum disease incidence was recorded in Jaipur (28.85%) district while it was lowest in Nagaur district (20.15%). Higher disease reduction (12.97%) with increased pod yield (27.65%) was observed with higher seed rate of 105 kg/ha as compared to standard recommended seed rate (80 kg/ha) as this pathogen is favoured by higher temperature and low soil moisture, dense canopy provides shade that increases humidity under the cropped area and lowers temperature. As a result of this, plant mortality can be compensated by increasing plant population through seed rate, as it modifies the microclimate and generate an environment which is less favourable for developing collar rot disease of groundnut.

ABSTRACT
Background: This study aims to study the predictors and the pattern of adverse drug reactions to Covishield vaccine which is being used in the mass vaccination program of the Government of India. Methods: This cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted among the dentists working as faculty in four different tertiary care centers in Jaipur city. A prevalidated questionnaire was circulated through E-mail/social media groups to all the participants. Results: A total of 574 participants fulfilled the questionnaire platform;however, six had been excluded from the study due to incompletely filled questionnaires. The remaining 568 were enrolled for the final analysis. About 296 (52.11%) were male and 272 (47.89%) were female. About 52.8% were in the age group of 31–49 years. About 87.32% of the enrolled participants had received both doses of Covishield. Most common postvaccination symptoms were fever (n = 145), local pain at injection site (n = 123), tenderness at injection site (n = 117), and fatigue (n = 91). Female gender, presence of comorbid diseases, and past coronavirus disease-19 infection were statistically significant risk factors for having adverse reactions post vaccination, P = 0.02, 0.043, and 0.0002, respectively. Conclusions: The data suggest that Covishield is well tolerated in the Indian population. Fever, local pain, tenderness at injection site, and fatigue are few commonly reported side effects. All the side effects were mild to moderate in terms of severity.
