Background/Objectives: Waste bins are part of our lives for decades and mostly its condition are overflowing due to improper waste dumping, collection and management, which leads in foul smell and unhygienic condition, thus inherently results in environment pollution. Methods/Statistical analysis: Therefore, in this paper, design of a Waste Bin with real time monitoring is presented and a smart waste management system is proposed using the recent technical advancements of automation and Internet of Things (IoT). Findings: The capacitance sensor in the bin continuously monitors the level of the bin in real time and communicates to the central cloud where the bins are connected. Ultrasonic sensor is used to open and close the lid of the bin whenever the persons are nearby the bin. Such smart bins are connected to the cloud, where the bin status are communicated, recorded and monitored by the local bodies through and android app or a centralized server. Improvements/Applications: Thus the designed smart bin and proposed waste management system have better level of smartness compared to existing ones in metropolitan cities in a centralized manner.

Recent reports of hearing impairment in Parkinson’s disease (PD) have suggested that auditory dysfunction could be a non-motor manifestation of PD. These reports were based on observations of elderly patients for whom presbycusis may, to some extent, have contributed to hearing dysfunction. Therefore, we aimed to explore the auditory functions in younger patients with PD. MethodsWe conducted a case-control study in a relatively younger (< 55 years of age at study time) population of PD patients and healthy volunteers to test whether auditory dysfunction is a significant non-motor dysfunction in PD. Pure tone audiometry (PTA) and brainstem evoked response audiometry (BERA) were performed in all participants. ResultsNone of the patients or controls reported hearing deficits. Fifty-one patients with PD and 50 healthy volunteers who were age- and gender-matched to the patients participated. PTA-detected hearing impairment was found in 64.7% of patients and 28% of controls (p < 0.001) for both low-mid and/or high frequencies. Hearing impairment was more frequent in the younger subgroups of patients than age-matched controls, while the frequency of hearing impairment was similar in older groups of subjects. BERA was not different between patients and controls. ConclusionAsymptomatic auditory dysfunction is a common non-motor manifestation of early-onset PD and more frequent in younger patients, indicating that it may be independent of aging. The mechanism underlying this dysfunction appears to be peripheral, although a central dysfunction cannot be ruled out based on the findings of this study.
