Abstract
Quantum computers are a reality. They represent the next step in computational performance with practical implications that will soon impact our lives. Yet standing at an initial stage called NISQ computation [1] it is already possible to create and run a plethora of circuits and algorithms using qubits instead of bits. Quantum

computers are an endeavor to overcome classical computation limits. Obviously, the background for quantum computation is quantum mechanics which have a particularly complex (and abstract) algebra. For undergraduate students, this complexity can be an obstacle to surpass, overshadowing their understanding of state-of-art quantum applications. Professors, on the other hand, should look for alternatives to facilitate the apprenticeship. In light of this, the use of quantum programming platforms, in special Qiskit [2], can help both teachers and students to reliable grasp the concepts concerning quantum mechanics applications. For this purpose, in the present work, Qiskit is used as tool to create quantum circuits aimed to demonstrate in practice the |Φ+⟩ Bell state and the teleportation protocol. Bell states are the gold standards for entanglement while teleportation allows for transmitting information across the quantum circuit, otherwise prohibitive owing to the non-cloning theorem. With the help of Qiskit and those basic circuits, it is demonstrated to be possible to discuss state-of-art concepts and applications without worrying, at a first glance, about the abstract algebra of quantum mechanics.

Abstract
A Healthy and nutritional supplements is crucial for good health, particularly in times when the immune system becomes weak. People throughout the world are extremely worried about coronavirus infection and its severity. This COVID-19 pandemic is the world’s most severe biological disaster. There is no medication throughout the globe that can control this morbidity and mortality. Second wave of the infection is more dangerous that takes lots of lives all over the world. India is also severely affected by the second wave of infection. Immune system do a remarkable job of defending you against disease-causing microorganisms. Sometimes its natural defense system failed. Germ invades successfully and break the homeostasis of the body. A healthy immune system is one of the most important weapons to fight against COVID-19. To overcome the stage immunity build up through proper nutritional foods is must essential to combat the infection. Dietary supplements are way which naturally increased the immunity. Daily intake of various anti-viral food, anti-viral herbs, vitamins, etc., boost the immunity which fight against COVID19 infection.

Abstract
Intentionality has been described as a form of reference to which thoughtful beings make objects in the world as much as objects in their mind (Searle, 1984; 2000; 2002). However, it is seen as coming from a capacity for perception in consciousness, relegating factors such as pain and sensations to the unintentional plane (Crane, 1998). Can be attributed intentionality to sensations if we unify particularly fruitful lines in the Philosophy of Mind such as functionalism, identity theory and neuroscience. The theory of functionalism proposes that the physical environment is dispensable to elucidate the procedures of the mind, only the processing mechanism would be considered (Dennett, 2006). The theory of identity would be a correlation between mental phenomena and physical-chemical phenomena in the brain, and materiality is determinant in the possible explanation of the mental (Churchland, 1998, Humphrey, 1994). To exemplify how the sensations could be intentional, we will use the example of the earthworm's response to artificial manual and mechanical stimuli. The earthworm responds differently to the same stimulus, performed by the machine and by the hand of the experimenter. Apparently "chooses" the most pertinent stimulus for the most emphatic response (Chang, 1975; 1997). At the other end, humans have a different response when tactile stimulation (for the sake of tickling) is performed (Blakemore, 2000; 2001). Uniting such theories and their evidence we can construct a functionalist concept of intentionality identity. Functionalist for predicting the processing mechanism between two intentional events, that is, in the case of the earthworm and the individual, and identity, in order to identify in each mechanism its material correlation as precisely as possible, which are two distinct neuronal circuits.

Abstract
Total coliform and fecal coliform counts were recorded in the water of a shrimp culture farm at Frasergunj for a period of 36 years (1984-2019). We observed a gradual increase in both total coliform and fecal coliform loads with the passage of time. This may be attributed to run- off from the adjacent landmasses that contain wastes of various categories and find their way in the shrimp farms of the region. Artificial intelligence (AI) was applied to this data bank to assess the futuristic aspect of the microbial load using Non-linear Auto Regressive model (NAR). We observe an alarming situation during 2050 and propose for a change in the traditional shrimp farming system either by introducing bio-treatment pond or by switching over to biofloc system of aquaculture.

Abstract
A review of gully erosion was carried out with specific attention on Anambra State Nigeria. It highlighted the state of gully erosion research in the State and points out areas of future concern in the area. Gully erosion is a severe land degradation problem in the State that has defied several mitigation measures. Most of the remediated gullies often become active again after a few years or when the structure ages or fails. The most effective gully erosion control measure remains the use of vegetal cover which grows and becomes more effective with time, unlike geo-engineering structures that collapse with time as they age. However, geo-engineering structures are critical to stabilising gullies that have assumed larger dimensions before the use of nature-based methods. Moreover, it is more economical to prevent gullies than to control them as they are difficult to control and expensive to undertake. Additionally, different models have been applied to study gullies in the area, however; little to none has employed remote sensing with machine learning algorithms to map gully susceptibility in the area. Besides, the use of natural methods of erosion control should be intensified in the area including a massive awareness campaign as ignorance and apathy might thwart the effort aimed at managing gully development and expansion. It is also recommended that disaster risks management be included in the high school curriculum to sensitise and conscientise the youths on the dangers of the menace and the cost-effective nature-based measures of preventing and managing gullies and other related disasters.

The most effective gully erosion control measure remains the use of vegetal cover which grows and becomes more effective with time, unlike geo-engineering structures that collapse with time as they age. However, geo-engineering structures are critical to stabilising gullies that have assumed larger dimensions before the use of nature-based methods. Moreover, it is more economical to prevent gullies than to control them as they are difficult to control and expensive to undertake. Additionally, different models have been applied to study gullies in the area, however; little to none has employed remote sensing with machine learning algorithms to map gully susceptibility in the area. Besides, the use of natural methods of erosion control should be intensified in the area including a massive awareness campaign as ignorance and apathy might thwart the effort aimed at managing gully development and expansion. It is also recommended that disaster risks management be included in the high school curriculum to sensitise and conscientise the youths on the dangers of the menace and the cost-effective nature-based measures of preventing and managing gullies and other related disasters.
