Acute toxicity results from excessive one-time fluoride ingestion and can cause nausea, vomiting, and even death in severe cases. Chronic toxicity occurs from small amounts of fluoride over long periods. This includes dental fluorosis, skeletal fluorosis, and non-skeletal fluorosis. Dental fluorosis ranges from mild white lines to severe enamel damage. Skeletal fluorosis stiffens joints and bones from very high fluoride levels over many years. Non-skeletal effects include muscle damage and infertility. The document provides details on symptoms, classifications, treatments and thresholds for the different toxicity types.
Malnutrition can be caused by insufficient nutrient intake due to poor diet, digestion, or absorption issues. It affects individuals who depend on others for food like infants, elderly, disabled, or ill people. The number one cause of malnutrition is poverty, as nearly 3 billion people live on less than $1 per day and cannot access adequate nutrition. Specific deficiency diseases include kwashiorkor from protein deficiency, beriberi from lack of vitamin B1, pellagra from niacin deficiency, and rickets from lack of vitamin D.
Nutritional disease or disorders are associated both with deficiency and excess. Affect masses rather than individuals thus to understand their epidemiology is important but it is too complex.
The document provides an overview of minerals, including their functions, dietary recommendations, food sources, and deficiency/toxicity symptoms. It discusses 15 essential minerals: sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, chloride, sulfur, iron, copper, zinc, selenium, fluoride, chromium, iodine, and manganese. For each mineral, it details major functions, recommended intake amounts, common food sources, and the symptoms of excessive intake and deficiency. It focuses specifically on sodium, potassium, calcium, and their relationships to blood pressure and bone health.
Fluorosis is a condition caused by excess fluoride deposition in tissues from drinking water, food, or industrial sources over long periods. It most commonly affects teeth (dental fluorosis) and bones (skeletal fluorosis). Regions of India like Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Andhra Pradesh have high fluoride levels in groundwater and suffer worst from this disease. Treatment focuses on changing water source and diet, while prevention emphasizes community education, micronutrient supplementation, and limiting fluoride intake.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

3. Malnutrition
Refers to
deficiency or
excess in nutrient
intake, imbalance
of essential
nutrients or
impaired nutrient
utilization. it
encompasses both
under nutrition
and overnutrition.
4. Overnutrition
Excessive intake of
nutrients.
Leads to overweight &
obesity.
Undernutrition
Micronutrient
deficiency/ low birth
weight children.
Leads to Wasting,
Stunting,
Underweight, Protein
energy malnutrition
etc.
