Bluetongue is non contagious vector borne viral disease of small ruminants. It transmits by biting of culicoids midges and causes severe economic losses to animal owner in term of high morbidity, decreased production and impaired reproduction. Balochistan, being largest province of the country have scattered population in far remote areas. About 70% of the provincial population rely upon livestock rearing for their livelihood. Kalat is largest division of the province that stretches from Kalat city upto Lasbella including Khuzdar, Kharan and Awaran. It is located on main RCD route that will ultimately boost the animal marketing and their easy access to main market. Although different vaccines are practiced throughout the province but no such vaccine is available against BTV in the country. That’s why animals are facing problems of some undiagnosed diseases. This review provides necessary information about disease in the region. It is need of the time to educate farmer and strict vigilance may be practiced for proper and timely vaccination of all animals to curtail deadliest diseases in the region.

Data were collected and analyzed statistically. Based on the pilot study analysis, the reliability of the instrument was 0.91 categorized as high. Results showed that good safety practices give positive influence on knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of students towards safety practice in culinary laboratories. The study showed that a safe and orderly work culture is capable of creating disciplined and responsible attitudes.
To determine prevalence, intensity and fertility ratio of hydatid disease in sheep and goats in the district of Quetta, a survey was conducted in Army Supply Corps abattoir between August 2001 and March 2002. Overall incidence of hydatid disease in livers of sheep and goats was 46.74 and 23.28%, while in lungs these were 17.37 and 13.68%, respectively. Intensity of the metacesode was higher in livers. Fertile cysts being 66.46 and 52.17% in sheep and goat livers, while 95.29 and 58.82% in sheep and goat lungs, respectively. The factors responsible for prevalence, intensity and fertility of hydatid disease are discussed.
Abstract This paper seeks to examine Tg. Piai as a potential site for community capacity building for ecotourism development. The research is done by reviewing and comparing, literatures on the ecological and sociological aspect of tourism in the area. Also through on-ground observations and experience from a past research done for “Final Report on Habitat and Ecological Research After Wavebreaker Project at Tg. Piai”. Referring to the existing natural tourism, cultural tourism attractions, and an encouraging number of local participations in the tourism industry, there are already positive signs of potential for ecotourism development. Assessment of data gathered, further strengthens the viability, with results of positive attitudes projected by the locals toward tourism development in the area. However, upon further review, the research found that there has been problem with past top-down governance style of the tourism development in the area and it shows on the ground as well. There is a need for a more sustainable development for ecotourism that focuses on the participation of the local community. As a conclusion however, it is proven in many ecotourism development with local community, the involvement of the locals is a crucial part of creating a working ecotourism destination. Fortunately, there are indicators that show willingness of the locals to support a community capacity building project to develop ecotourism in the area. Thus, the research suggests that the stakeholder take this opportunity to create a new cooperation with the local, through community capacity building, using the bottom-up approach to develop ecotourism products that can sustainably benefit both the stakeholder and the local community. This review paper is a continuation from the “Final Report on Habitat and Ecological Research After Wavebreaker Project at Tg. Piai”.

Cloud definition says "everything is available everywhere at any time". As cloud computing evolves to accommodate future technologies, inter-cloud ecosystem is started to be required as a necessary architecture. Although there are some proposals presented to manage the inter-cloud but no one guarantee a lock-free, interoperable and federated ecosystem. Conducted research is biased and cloud provider's need base, pushing cloud market towards the interests of commercial dominators. To fill this gap, after surveying the maturity of open technologies and current state of adoption of the openness from cloud providers, this paper presents ICCM: Inter-Cloud Concern Model, a reference architecture to model the concerns of interoperable cloud ecosystem. The aim of this research is to formally describe the aspects to be considered to design a people-centric IT solution that put computing providers in a hard competition to fulfill client needs.

Abstract A rising number of educational solutions based on blockchain technology have been designed. Students and other authorities responsible for verifying certificates are very concerned about the authenticity of academic credentials, either because the institutions that issue them no longer exist or because they do not keep adequate records. Blockchain technology has much to offer in education, including its high level of security, improved data access control, low cost, improved accountability, identity authentication, transparency, increased trust, and improved efficiency in managing student records. We proposed a decentralized blockchain‐based secure platform for the storage of academic certificates and student assessments with double encryption. Apart from speeding up the verification process, it will increase the safety of personal education data and assessments of all kinds of misuse. The data would only be accessed using a stakeholder's private key, and storing documents on a blockchain would increase security. We proposed a framework to offer a secure channel for educational resources. We are storing documents over blockchain utilizing an IPFS distributed data server. We give a thorough explanation of the system development, design, and evaluation of the suggested solution in terms of security and cost. Finally, we put the proposed framework to the test by deploying a smart contract prototype on the Ethereum TESTNET network in a Windows environment. The study's findings revealed that the proposed method is effective and feasible.
