Arsenic responsible for gallbladder cancer ?

Arsenic responsible for gallbladder cancer ?



In a recent study, it was found that "chronic arsenic exposure in drinking water even at low-moderate levels can cause...Gall Bladder Cancer(GBC)". Assam and Bihar are two states in the country that report maximum GBC cases and they have maximum Arsenic load in groundwater or tubewell water that they consume. 

This link between GBC cases and the amount of Arsenic in water imbibes the conclusion that the more Arsenic more will be the risk of GBC. 

The study area was Assam and Bihar where a load of Arsenic varies from 10g/l to even 1500g/l.

The sample population used in the study has a residential time span of 15 to 70 years which ensures minimum to maximum exposure to the groundwater of the area.

When the Arsenic load is 1.3 to 8.9g/l risk of GBC is two times whereas when the load is 9.1 to 448.3g/l the risk is 2.4 times.

But the point here is for a change in Arsenic concentration from 8.9 to 448.3g/l (i.e.,49.37 times) the cases of GBC rose by  20%. Is this sensitivity sufficient to analyze the conclusion of the study?

Introduction to Glowworm Optimization Algorithm

Overview of the Glow Worm Algorithm Explanation of the original Glow Worm Algorithm  The Hybrid Glow Worm Algorithm is an important algorithm to study and understand because of its ability to effectively solve complex optimization problems. By combining the strengths of different algorithms, it offers a flexible and adaptable solution approach that can be applied to various domains. Understanding this algorithm can help researchers and practitioners in developing efficient and effective optimization strategies for their specific problem instances.  The original Glow Worm Algorithm is a swarm intelligence-based optimization algorithm inspired by the behavior of glow worms in nature. It involves a population of virtual glow worms that interact with each other and their environment to find optimal solutions.  The algorithm uses a combination of local and global search strategies, allowing the glow worms to explore and exploit the search space effectively. Additionally, the algorithm incor

Five new ideas for launching agro-start ups

View the image  in original size Agricultural output controls the GDP of a Country. Especially the developing countries largely depend on its agriculture productivity to enhance their socio-economy and livelihood of the local population. Sustaining the profitability of cultivators is one of the major objectives of any government. Water and energy which are the two drivers of agriculture need to be optimally utilized. The uncontrolled and uneven distribution of natural resources, especially water resources, often compromises the agricultural productivity of the water-stressed regions of a country which in turn affects the national GDP of that country.  So optimal management of water and also energy resources in an agricultural location can ensure stability and incrementation of GDP of the country. That is why some apps can be developed and offered commercially to the farmers which can help in not only maximization of agricultural productivity but also it will help in the smart managemen
