1 %) or a link with mental health issues (14.9 %). Local language newspapers displayed more frequent violations in reporting compared to English newspapers. Media reporting of suicide in Kerala, India is poorly adherent to international reporting guidelines, with very little focus on educating the public. These findings point to the need for framing comprehensive media reporting guidelines for India and a collaborative approach to highlight the primary role of media in suicide prevention efforts.

Evidence suggests that its impact may be disproportionately high in low-and-middle-income countries. Rhapontigenin The study aimed to assess and compare nature and correlates of suicidesfrom news reportsduring the immediate pre-lockdown and lockdown phase of COVID-19 in Bangladesh and India. We performed analysis of suicide reports from purposively selected online vernacular and English newspapers of Bangladesh and two states/union territory in India, between January to June 2020. We divided the time period of observation into two phases pre-lockdown and lockdown phase. Country wise findings between the two phases were compared in terms of demographic and characteristics of the reported suicide. A total of 769 news reports wereanalysed; 141 from Bangladesh and 628 from India. When compared to the pre-lockdown period, the odds of suicide by hanging was significantly higher during lockdownin India (adjusted Odds Ratios [aOR] = 3.8, p = 0.018) and Bangladesh (aOR = 3.1, p = 0.048). Suicide demographics in India were different from Bangladesh during lockdown; more males died by suicide in India (aOR = 2.7, p = 0.023) and more people died by hanging (aOR = 2.6, p = 0.029). The pandemic restrictions impacted suicide demographics in the studied regions of India and Bangladesh. Further research using population-based time-series data are warranted to investigate the issue.This paper suggests a sensitive reversed-phase gradient HPLC method combined with fluorescence detection that has been developed, optimized and tested via the quantitative analysis of authentic biological material in an effort to determine and subsequently compare the total content of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in various collagen-based biomaterials intended for medical application. The proposed analytical method enabled the identification and separation of the GAGs present from the other components in the samples using commonly-available laboratory equipment; moreover, the very low detection limit of the method permits the determination of GAGs even for very small samples. This study describes the development of the method, including the isolation and processing of the collagen samples prior to HPLC analysis and the optimal parameters applied during the chromatographic analysis. The application of the method in laboratory practice is documented by means of several examples of the determination of GAGs employing both commercial standards and real collagen samples isolated from various animal tissues.Waste residues and acidic effluents (post-processing of E-waste) released into the local surroundings cause perilous environmental threats and potential risks to human health. Only limited research and information are available toward the sustainable management of waste residues generated post resource recovery of E-waste components. In the present study, the manual processing of obsolete computer (keyboard, monitor, CPU, and mouse) and chemical leaching of wast
