A Comparative Study to Assess the Knowledge Regarding Maintenance of Menstrual Hygiene Among Adolescent Girls Studying in Government and Private Schools, Tarn Taran, Punjab
Abstract: Menstruation is also sometimes known as ‘menses’ or described as a ‘menstrual period’. The menstrual cycle is usually around 28 days but can vary from 21 to 35 days. Each cycle involves the release of an egg (ovulation) which moves into the uterus through the fallopian tubes. Tissue and blood start to line the walls of the uterus and the lining of the uterus is shed through the vagina along …

Conventional Water Conservation Structure: Case Study of Nagpura Bhairaw Bawli at Durg (Chhattisgarh)
Abstract: Abstract Water is a lifeline of any civilization. Urban development adds impervious surface, which increase surface runoff appreciably and decreases infiltrations and evaporation to maintain the urban water balance. The 80% potable water flow as sewer (goes into the drain). The demand of water is increased 20 times within last 20 years. The global water Use has grown almost three times faster than the population growth rate. The ancient water …
