Salinization and drainage problems of agricultural land - Ajay Singh (Irrigation and Drainage, 2020)
The extension of irrigated agriculture is essential to fulfilling the mounting demand for food and fibre from a growing population which is anticipated to reach about 10 billion individuals in 2050. Lacking the necessary drainage, this extension can bring about salinization issues in irrigated regions. Continuous irrigation over many years with no adequate drainage services has led to huge agricultural regions becoming unproductive. Salinization problems linked to poor drainage are widespread in agricultural zones over the world. The aforementioned drainage‐related salinization issues in agricultural land have been solved by using various methods and techniques. This paper presents an assessment of some non‐conventional methods and strategies utilized for dealing with salinization and drainage issues of irrigated land. An indication of the drainage and salinization issues of irrigated areas and the significance of the study are given. Reasoning and foundation of the issues are presented. Numerical and analytical solutions of the problems are described. The drainage water management technique for managing nutrient losses from a drainage system is discussed. The analysis revealed that conjunctive water use with an increased groundwater proportion can to some extent manage the salinization and root‐zone submergence problems of irrigated areas. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

This study was carried out to comprehend the pathogenicity of the bacteria in the epidermis of Labeo rohita inoculated with Aeromonas hydrophila . Alterations in the histopathology of the epidermis were examined using scanning electron microscopy, light microscopy and the localization of iNOS and caspase 3 + ve cells by means of immunohistochemical methods. Skin samples obtained from infected fish at different intervals 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 days showed significant changes in the cellular components of the epidermis. Epithelial cells often appeared hypertrophied with fragmented and loosely arranged microridges, and in the process of exfoliation. Mucous goblet cells increased significantly in density. Club cells showed degenerative changes, often with simultaneous confluence of adjacent cells and release of their contents. Increase in density of iNOS and caspase 3 + ve cells indicates inflammatory response and apoptosis. This study could provide valuable information on the pathogenesis of the disease, and disease outbreaks in farmed fish. Further, it could provide useful guidelines for fish farmers to take preventive measures for the control of the disease.

Safety of tattoos and permanent make-up: a regulatory view - Michael Giulbudagian; Ines Schreiver; Ajay Vikram Singh; Peter Laux; Andreas Luch (Archives of Toxicology, 2020)
The continuous increase in the popularity of tattoos and permanent make-up (PMU) has led to substantial changes in their societal perception. Besides a better understanding of pathological conditions associated with the injection of highly diverse substances into subepidermal layers of the skin, their regulation has occupied regulatory bodies around the globe. In that sense, current regulatory progress in the European Union is an exemplary initiative for improving the safety of tattooing. On one hand, the compilation of market surveillance data has provided knowledge on hazardous substances present in tattoo inks. On the other hand, clinical data gathered from patients enabled correlation of adverse reactions with certain substances. Nevertheless, the assessment of risks remains a challenge due to knowledge gaps on the biokinetics of highly complex inks and their degradation products. This review article examines the strategies for regulating substances in tattoo inks and PMU in light of their potential future restriction in the frame of the REACH regulation. Substance categories are discussed in terms of their risk assessment and proposed concentration limits.

Analysis of transporter associated with antigen presentation (TAP) genes polymorphisms with HIV-1 infection - Abaineh Munshea Abitew; Ranbir Chander Sobti; Vijay Lakshmi Sharma; Ajay Wanchu (Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 2020)
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecules of the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) play an important role in modulating immune response. HLA class I molecules present antigenic peptides to CD8 + T cells and thereby play a role in the immune surveillance of cells infected with viruses. TAP1 and TAP2 are MHC - II -encoded genes necessary for the generation of a cellular immune response and polymorphism of these genes can influence the specificity of peptides preferentially presented by the MHC class I molecules and the outcome of the immune response. Several studies implicated genetic variation in TAP genes to various immune-mediated and infectious diseases. To determine the correlation between HIV-1 infection and the TAP1 and TAP2 genes polymorphisms, we performed PCR–RFLP assay of these genes in 500 HIV-1 seropositives and the matched seronegative individuals. Statistical analysis of the data disclosed no correlation between TAP1 ( C/T intron 7 ) gene polymorphism and HIV-1/AIDS disease. However, the current results demonstrated that the heterozygous A/G [OR (95% CI) 1.39 (1.06–1.83), P = 0.0171] and homozygous G/G [OR (95% CI) 3.38(1.56–7.46), P = 0.0010] variants of TAP2 ( A/G exon 11 ) ( T665A ) gene are positively associated with an increased risk of HIV-1/AIDS infection. This case–control analysis might suggest a possible role of TAP2 ( A/G exon 11 ) ( T665A ) gene in the susceptibility to HIV-1 infection and disease outcome among North Indian patients.

AN OVERVIEW OF DRAINAGE AND SALINIZATION PROBLEMS OF IRRIGATED LANDS - Ajay Singh (Irrigation and Drainage, 2019)
The development of irrigated agriculture is essential to feed the growing world population. Nevertheless, without proper drainage provisions, this development can result in salinization and rising groundwater table problems in irrigated areas. An effective drainage system not only improves existing agricultural lands but also brings new areas under cultivation. Poor drainage and the associated salinization cause a reduction in crop growth and yield and this reduction will be much higher if both salinization and submergence occur simultaneously. Drainage is necessary for humid as well as dry regions and it is one of the main inputs to obtain better yields per unit of agricultural area. The provision of drainage has many direct and indirect effects. This paper provides an overview of the drainage and salinization problems of irrigated lands and their impact on overall agricultural productivity. The significance of the study along with its goals and the historical development of agricultural drainage is provided. The processes involved in drainage‐associated salinization of irrigated lands and the effects of salinization and shallow groundwater tables on plant growth and yield and the environmental perspective of the problems are also detailed in the paper. Conclusions are provided that can be of use to the reader. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

This study examines the changing characteristics of snow water equivalent (SWE) in western United States and their teleconnections with large‐scale variability of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. This study evaluated the relationship among sea surface temperatures (SST), 500‐mbar geopotential height (Z 500 ), 500‐mbar east–west wind (U 500 ), and western United States SWE (1 March, 1 April, and 1 May). The averages of SST, Z 500 , and U 500 were computed to create a lead time of 2–10 months. Three different 6‐month series were computed – January–June, April–September, and July–December – and were correlated with SWE stations in the western United States. The study utilized singular‐value decomposition (SVD) for a period of 1961–2016 to correlate the SWE and climate indices. SVD was applied between the standardized SST and SWE to obtain their correlation and to evaluate connection with Z 500 and U 500 within the same SVD relationship. Specifically, SVD was not applied independently on each variable prior to this study. The correlations were observed to increase as the lead time decreased. First mode SVD showed a pronounced non‐El Niño‐Southern Oscillation short‐wave train for the July–December climate in the Z 500 data; this terminated over the Great Lakes region, and was strongly correlated with the warming of the SST near the east coast of Japan, resulting in decreased SWE in the study area. Second mode SVD showed a negative correlation between SWE stations in Colorado and Utah and SST near the Asian and Australian continents. The associations between climate indices and SWE that were identified during this study could be used to improve long‐term forecasts, resulting in better management of water resources in the region.
