This paper deals with the persistent traditional practices associated with puberty, pregnancy and child birth among the tribal populations of the three north coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh viz. Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam. Observation of pollution associated with some vital events among the tribal populations is also related to health. The traditional practices of tribals associated with puberty, pregnancy and child birth have some similarity with the practices of the non-tribals especially in rural areas. All these practices signify their deep rooted beliefs in the supernatural spirits. In this context, the role of traditional medicine-man (Guravagadu) is also prominent. These observations point out the need for educating these groups about health and hygiene and make them avail health care services.
ERP systems, at present, are found to be inflexible to adapt to changing organizational processes. They are required to quickly adjust to changing processes and value-added chains and streamline their internal organizational structure. Data in ERP systems is becoming increasingly voluminous in their transactional programs. In this scenario, ERP systems are increasingly exposed to big data wherein the combined analysis of larger amounts of structured and unstructured data from disparate systems takes place in a short amount of time. Big data analytics requires greater use of predictive analytics to uncover hidden patterns and their relationships to visualize and explore data. The evolution of big data and predictive analytics have given a new way for exploring new frontiers in analytics-driven automation and decision management in highvolume, front-line operational decisions. In this paper the authors have focused on predictive capabilities of ERP systems, to analyze current data and historical facts in order to identify potential risks and opportunities for any organization. Analytical Decision Management & Business Rules are used to deploy decision as a service.
Saliva has one of the important functions in the body. It must make it easier to taste and identify nutritional meals in the body, while also protecting mucosa from infection with the always-present bacteria in the mouth. These functions are achieved by a complicated structure and multifarious physical characteristics. The protein and ion components turn a solution consisting of 99% water into a viscoelastic solution that is able to perform many different functions, such as lubrication and antibacterial treatments, protect teeth from dissolving, facilitates the digestion and taste. This review discusses the brain control of fluid, protein and ion secretion of salivary secretion, some of the components and physical features of saliva and tries to link them with the functions of saliva.
