MABSA: A curated Malayalam aspect based sentiment analysis dataset on movie reviews.

Regional languages are being used more frequently in online platforms as a result of the expanding use of digital technology. Understanding user opinions on social media platforms, forums, blogs, and other digital platforms that employ Indian regional languages has become significant due to their role in various applications. Research on sentiment analysis of Indian regional language texts suffers due to the unavailability of available regional language datasets.

Efficacy of Indolicidin, Cecropin A (1-7)-Melittin (CAMA) and Their Combination Against Biofilm-Forming Multidrug-Resistant Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli.

The present study examined the anti-biofilm efficacy of two short-chain antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), namely, indolicidin and cecropin A (1-7)-melittin (CAMA) against biofilm-forming multidrug-resistant enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (MDR-EAEC) isolates. The typical EAEC isolates re-validated by PCR and confirmed using HEp-2 cell adherence assay was subjected to antibiotic susceptibility testing to confirm its MDR status. The biofilm-forming ability of MDR-EAEC isolates was assessed by Congo red binding, microtitre plate assays and hydrophobicity index; broth microdilution technique was employed to determine minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and minimum biofilm eradication concentrations (MBECs).

A comparative study for detection of extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) production by Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) strains using double disc, nitrocefin and PCR assays.

We explored and evaluated for the first time colorimetric nitrocefin assay in conjunction with the double disc test and PCR assay. We suggested the use of nitrocefin assay for rapid screening of ESBL-production by Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli.

CDC Kerala 2: Developmental intervention package for babies <1,800 g--outcome at 6 mo using DASII.

Objectives: To describe the experience of using developmental intervention package among low birth weight babies less than 1,800 g and developmental outcome at the end of 6 mo monthly intervention.

Methods: Babies below 1,800 g, discharged from neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Sree Avittom Thirunal (SAT) hospital, over the last 3 y, were followed at Child Development Centre (CDC) Kerala and offered monthly evaluation by different tools and developmental intervention using a package by trained developmental therapists and mothers were encouraged to continue the same at home. At the end of 6 mo the developmental outcome was assessed using Developmental Assessment Scale for Indian Infants (DASII).

Flapless implant surgery: a 2-year follow-up study of 40 implants.

Objectives: Flapless implant surgery is fast gaining popularity because of several advantages, such as reduced surgical time, postoperative bleeding, and swelling. Studies have shown that flap elevation results in some amount of bone loss. The aim of the current study was to compare the amount of bone loss in procedures using the flapless technique and those where flap elevation was done.

A panchayat level primary-care approach for adolescent services.

Objective: To develop a model for providing community adolescent care services in the primary care setting

Methods: Need assessment was done among adolescents and perceived problems of adolescents were studied using qualitative and quantitative methods. Based on the results of these studies, a Family Life Education (FLE) module was prepared. Awareness programs were organized for all stakeholders in the community on adolescent issues.

Characterization of two Indian native chicken breeds for production, egg and semen quality, and welfare traits.

The present study was conducted to characterize 2 important native chicken breeds from India and compare them on growth, production, egg and semen quality, and welfare traits. The Aseel breed showed (P < 0.001) higher BW at different ages; higher shank, radius, and toe lengths at 40 wk of age; and greater egg weights at 28, 32, and 40 wk of age than did the Kadaknath breed.

Developmental delay and disability among under--5 children in a rural ICDS block.

We conducted this study to assess the prevalence of developmental delay, deformity and disability among 0-5 age group childrenn in Pattanakkad rural ICDS block, selected at random from among the ICDS blocks in Alappuzha District, Kerala, India. Of 12520 children upto 5 years in this block, there were a total of 311 children with developmental delay, deviation, deformity or disability giving a prevalence of 2.5 % (95 % CI, 2.

Validation of Home Screening Questionnaire (HSQ) against Home Observation for the Measurement of Environment (HOME).

This study was done to validate the screening tool Home Screening Questionnaire (HSQ) against the gold standard Home Observation for the Measurement of Environment (HOME) inventory, using diagnostic test evaluation. Both HOME inventory and HSQ were administered by separate observers, with children less than 3 years of age, among 200 families belonging to 14 anganwadi areas. There was a high sensitivity of 83 and a high specificity of 82 observed for a cutoff point of less than or equal to 19 on HSQ against HOME Inventory as Gold Standard, as was also observed in the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve.
