Level of compliance and factors associated with non-compliance to treatment among the mentally ill patients

Background: Mental illnesses are treatable and need medication and other therapies i.e. counseling, psychotherapy etc for the better outcome. Poor adherence to psychiatric medication regimens is a major obstacle to the effective care of persons who have chronic mental illness. Objectives : The study aims to identify the level of compliance and factors associated with non-compliance to treatment regimen. Methods: This was a hospital based cross sectional study carried out in psychiatric ward and OPD at B.P.Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Dharan Nepal. A total of 150 patients were included as study samples using purposive sampling technique. Data was collected using self developed, pre tested, semi structured Pro forma by interview method. Results : Half of the patients showed average compliance. Thirty seven percentages of patients had good compliance and only 13% showed poor compliance. There was no association between drug compliance and demographic variables (p> 0.05). Drug compliance was significantly associated with factors such as drug related aspects, treatment access related factors, quality of interaction with treating team, family support, attitude towards mental illness and relatives' insight towards mental illness (p<0.05 ). Conclusion: The findings of the study highlighted the various factors such as drug related, social support, and treatment access related factors are influencing the drug compliance among the mentally ill patients.

Composite index of anthropometric failure among under 5 children attending the Immunoprophylaxis clinic in a tertiary care hospital in Nagpur, Maharashtra, India

Background: Under nutrition is a global public health problem. There are numerous methods of assessment of malnutrition among which CIAF is the most recent, relatively robust since it envisages all the parameters for estimation of nutritional status of the children. So, this study was conducted to find the rates of composite index of anthropometric failure in the children attending the Immunoprophylaxis clinic in a tertiary care hospital of Nagpur and to find associations with the socio demographic variables. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the Immunoprophylaxis clinic of a tertiary care institute in Nagpur from September 2016 to January 2017. The study subjects were the children attending the OPD of Immunoprophylaxis clinic of a tertiary care hospital. Necessary permissions were taken before the start of the study. Data was collected using pretested and pre-designed questionnaire. Height and weight were measured using standard guidelines and categorized into groups of CIAF as described by Nandy et al. Results: A total of 460 study subjects were enrolled in the study. The mean age group of the study subjects was 2.47±1.56 years. According to the grades of CIAF, 48.51% were having no failure. Age and gender were factors which were associated with failure status by CIAF. Conclusions: We found high rates of anthropometric failure in our study. The age groups less than 3 years had higher odds of being in failure when compared to more than 3 years age. Further, males had higher odds of being into failure when compared to females. Community based studies are recommended.
D Wave-Current Interactions in Wave-Current Channels

Measurements of mean velocity profiles in a wave-current flume have shown some features for which the mechanism is far from trivial. A 2DV model based on the so-called Generalized Lagrangian Mean formulation is developed to study the influence of waves on the mean motion, the mean horizontal velocity in particular. This influence can be split in two parts, viz. a direct effect of the waves via wave-induced driving forces and an indirect effect of waves via secondary circulations. To include both effects an existing 1DV model is extended by introducing lateral variations including side-wall boundary layers. Resulting formulations have been implemented in an existing 2DV non-hydrostatic numerical flow model. Computations for regular waves following and opposing a turbulent current have been carried out and compared with both experimental results and results from an existing numerical model. Introduction Understanding the mechanism of wave-current interaction is of great importance for a good prediction of vertical profiles of horizontal velocities. The study of these profiles is relevant from both a hydrodynamic point of view (bed friction), and a morphodynamic point of view. Observations in laboratory experiments by e.g. Kemp & Simons (1982; 1983) and Klopman (1994) of the effect non-breaking waves on a steady turbulent current over a rigid rough bed show significant and unexpected changes in the profiles of the mean horizontal velocity (see figure 1). To the authors' knowledge only Nielsen & You (1996) and Dingemans et al. (1996) presented theoretical models to explain the wave-induced changes in the Eulerian-mean horizontal velocity profiles. The model of Nielsen & You (1996) is based on a local force balance.

Populations dynamic of Pseudophacopteron spp. (Hemiptera: Phacopteronidae), psyllids pest of Dacryodes edulis (Burseraceae) in Cameroon

Dacryodes edulis (G. Don) H. J. Lam (Burseraceae) is an oleiferous plant originated from Central Africa. This plant is cultivated for her fruits rich in proteins and lipids. The tree suffered serious damages caused by insect pests. In Cameroon, four psyllids species feed on D. edulis: Pseudophacopteron tamessei, P. pusillum, P. eastopi and P. serrifer. Larvae of P. eastopi produced fluorescent waxy filament which cover the young leaves of the buds. Larvae of P. tamessei induced the formation of galls on the upper surface of the leaves. The population dynamics of the four species was conducted in a natural secondary forest from May 2010 to April 2012. During this period, we collected adults, eggs and larvae of P. tamessei, P. pusillum and P. eastopi. Only adults of P. serrifer were collected. Pseudophacopteron tamessei was as the major psyllid pest of this plant. Four different generations of P. tamessei have been recorded each year, but during the second year, three generations of P. eastopi and P. pusillum were recorded. Two important generations were recorded in May and September. The number of generations varied from one psyllid species to another and from one year to another. Psyllids populations were correlated to the number of new buds and young shoots. The population dynamic of psyllids of D. edulis depends on the availability of new flushes on host plants. The integrated pest management will take into consideration the main flushing periods of the plant and the outbreak periods of psyllids in the Yaounde region.
Near-wall statistics of a turbulent pipe flow at shear Reynolds numbers up to 40 000

This paper reports on near-wall two-component–two-dimensional (2C–2D) particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements of a turbulent pipe flow at shear Reynolds numbers up to $Re_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}}=40\,000$ acquired in the CICLoPE facility of the University of Bologna. The 111.5 m long pipe of 900 mm diameter offers a well-established turbulent flow with viscous length scales ranging from $85~\unicode[STIX]{x03BC}\text{m}$ at $Re_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}}=5000$ down to $11~\unicode[STIX]{x03BC}\text{m}$ at $Re_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}}=40\,000$ . These length scales can be resolved with a high-speed PIV camera at image magnification near unity. Statistically converged velocity profiles were determined using multiple sequences of up to 70 000 PIV recordings acquired at sampling rates of 100 Hz up to 10 kHz. Analysis of the velocity statistics shows a well-resolved inner peak of the streamwise velocity fluctuations that grows with increasing Reynolds number and an outer peak that develops and moves away from the inner peak with increasing Reynolds number.
Leadership and quality management – a correlational study between leadership models and quality management principles

Resumo: A gestão da qualidade tem se constituído em um dos tópicos de discussão mais importantes em gestão moderna. Dentre o levantamento de fatores críticos para o sucesso de programas de gestão de qualidade, a liderança apresenta-se como um dos fatores mais citados. No entanto, embora a relação entre gestão de qualidade e liderança seja clara, é possível perceber que há ainda diversas lacunas de pesquisa a serem exploradas. Desse modo, o objetivo do presente estudo foi explorar a relação entre gestão da qualidade e liderança, utilizando-se, para tanto, do modelo de liderança transformacional-transacional e do modelo Competing Values Framework. A relação entre os estilos de liderança e princípios de gestão da qualidade foi explorada com análise de correlação de Pearson. Foram obtidos coeficientes de correlação positivos tanto para os perfis de liderança tanto transformacional quanto transacional e perfis de liderança do Competing Values Framework, de modo que alguns desses perfis destacaram-se, apresentando coeficientes de correlação maiores. A principal contribuição do trabalho foi realizar uma exploração inicial sobre a relação entre estilos de liderança e princípios da qualidade, apontando tendências e abrindo caminho para que novos estudos possam estender esse conhecimento. Discute-se a importância de, em estudos futuros, estabelecer as mesmas correlações para diferentes amostras de respondentes e empregar, além de princípios, práticas e ferramentas de gestão da qualidade. Palavras-chave: Gestão da qualidade; Liderança; Transformacional-transacional; Competing Values Framework. Abstract: Quality management has been established as one of the most important discussion topics in modern management. Among the critical factors for the success of quality management programs, leadership is one of the most cited factor. However, although the relationship between quality management and leadership is clear, it is possible to perceive several gaps of research that can be explored. Thus, the objective of the present study is to explore the relationship between quality management and leadership, using the transformational-transitional leadership model, and Competing Values Framework leadership model. Relationship between leadership models and quality management principles were explored using correlation analysis of Pearson. Although it could not be found significate differences between correlation coefficients for transformational and transitional leadership, some Competing Values Framework leadership styles stand out, showing higher and statistically significate correlation coefficients. Thus, the most important contribution of this study is realizing an initial exploration about the relationship between leadership and quality management principles, pointing tendencies and making way so new studies can extend this knowledge. Here discussed the importance of, in future studies, establishing the same correlations for different participant samples and use, further principles, quality management practices and tools.
Sponges Medium used Number of Streptomyces colonies x 10 2 CFU / ml Mycale mytilorum Glycerol Asparagine Agar 6 Tendania anhelans Glycerol Asparagine Agar

Nearly ten isolates of Streptomyces were found to be associated with two species of sponges namely Mycale mytilorum (Annandale) and Tendania anhelans (Lieberkuhn). Among the ten isolates, four strains of white series were selected and characterized by conventional methods and assessed for their antagonistic activity against fish pathogens like Aeromonas hydrophila and Vibrio sp. All the strains showed inhibitory activity against these fish pathogens. The screening of antibacterial substances by the Streptomyces isolates proved the production of highly polyene nature compounds which were observed using criteria like thin layer chromatography (TLC) and spectral analysis. The results of the present investigation revealed that the sponges associated Streptomyces were found to be promising source of antibacterial bioactive substances. It concludes that development of appropriate fermentation and downstream processing technologies would bring out new classes of antibiotic leads.
An Assessment of Student Teachers’ Experiences of Work-integrated Learning at a South African Institution of Higher Learning

Abstract The purpose of this study was to assess teachers’ experiences of six months’ work-integrated learning (WIL), as a component of teaching practice, as well as the impact of other situational variables associated with work-integrated learning on teaching efficacy. The study is grounded in Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory and Roberts’ Theory of Experiential Learning. The targeted population for this case study was pre-service teachers at University of Technology in the Free State Province of the Republic of South Africa. The sample consisted of 51 fourth-year B.Ed (FET) students enrolled in four different programmes. There were 25 male and 26 female students in the sample. The students had just completed their six months WIL. A 5-point Likert scale questionnaire was designed and used to collect data from the respondents. Participation was voluntary and all the students who did not go for work-integrated learning because of not meeting the requirements were excluded from the study. The findings indicated that three year of study at the University of Technology sufficiently prepared the student teachers for the demands of WIL. The increased length of WIL had a positive effect on them as they felt that their skills in lesson preparation together with those of assessment were enhanced. Student teachers interacted with and related to their mentors in a positive way and their classroom management skills were enhanced as they attempted to handle disruptive learners effectively. On the whole, the teacher trainees felt that they had made a positive contribution to their host schools. Work-integrated learning has therefore proven to be a valuable component of teacher preparation in this study.
FDI inflows and poverty reduction in Botswana: an empirical investigation

Abstract This study investigates the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows on poverty reduction in Botswana from 1980 to 2014. The main objective of this study is to establish whether FDI plays a positive role in poverty reduction. The study employs autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds test approach to co-integration and the error correction model to investigate the relationship. To ensure robustness, the study uses three poverty reduction proxies which are household consumption expenditure (Pov1), infant mortality rate (Pov2), and life expectancy (Pov3). The findings from this study revealed that FDI has a positive impact on poverty reduction in the short run and a negative impact in the long run when life expectancy is used as a poverty reduction measure. When infant mortality rate is used as a poverty reduction proxy, an insignificant relationship is registered in both the long run and the short run. A negative impact of FDI on poverty reduction is confirmed in the short run when household consumption expenditure is used as a poverty reduction proxy, while in the long run an insignificant relationship is reported. The study concludes that the impact of FDI on poverty reduction is sensitive to the poverty reduction proxy used.
EARTHQUAKE RISK REDUCTION TO NON- ENGINEERED BUILDINGS: A STUDY OF PRACTICE IN INDONESIA

In recent years the lethal effects of earthquake events in and around Indonesia have been all too real. Tens of thousands of buildings have been destroyed and the death toll considerable. Many such buildings are classified as 'non-engineered' - in simple terms, unsystematically designed and poorly built structures. The application of earthquake-resistant, or seismic, building codes to non-engineered construction is paramount to ensuring safety against earthquake events. Risk reduction through the implementation of appropriate codes involves not merely technical intervention but involves a plethora of societal responses. This paper reports on a PhD research programme, funded by the Government of Indonesia, which has explored technical and societal elements which are significant to the seismic risk reduction of nonengineered buildings (SRRNEB). The overarching aim of the research was to examine the potential for reducing earthquake risk of non-engineered buildings within the context of current practices in Indonesia. The research methodology involved a triangulated qualitative-quantitative approach underpinned by the detailed review of literature from the Asia-Pacific region together with primary data gathered by a questionnaire survey and in-depth interviews with the stakeholders involved in Indonesian construction. Fifty-seven elements of effective risk reduction were identified, fifteen reflecting technical interventions and forty-two reflecting societal dimensions. Identifying, understanding and applying the appropriate combination of technical and societal responses to earthquake events will enable a new generation of risk reduction measures to be developed in Indonesia where the effective implementation of building codes can be achieved through regulatory and voluntary initiatives.
Photomosaics of the cathodoluminescence of 60 sections of meteorites and lunar samples

[1] Cathodoluminescence (CL) petrography provides a means of observing petrographic and compositional properties of geological samples not readily observable by other techniques. We report the low-magnification CL images of 60 sections of extraterrestrial materials. The images we report include ordinary chondrites (including type 3 ordinary chondrites and gas-rich regolith breccias), enstatite chondrites, CO chondrites and a CM chondrite, eucrites and a howardite, lunar highland regolith breccias, and lunar soils. The CL images show how primitive materials respond to parent body metamorphism, how the metamorphic history of EL chondrites differs from that of EH chondrites, how dark matrix and light clasts of regolith breccias relate to each other, how metamorphism affects eucrites, the texture of lunar regolith breccias and the distribution of crystallized lunar spherules (“lunar chondrules”), and how regolith working affects the mineral properties of lunar soils. More particularly, we argue that such images are a rich source of new information on the nature and history of these materials and that our efforts to date are a small fraction of what can be done.
Low and high orders light scattering within the dispersible media

Sprays, aerosols as well as other industrially relevant turbid media can be characterized by light scattering techniques. However these techniques often fall into the intermediate scattering regime where the average number of times a photon is scattered is too great for single scattering to be assumed, but too few for the diffusion approximation to be applied. We present the results of theoretical study provided details of scattering of laser radiation in the intermediate single-to-multiple scattering regime. Crossed fiber optic source-detector geometry is considered to separate the intensity of single scattering from higher scattering orders. A quantitative analysis of scattering orders in the intermediate single-to-multiple scattering regime is presented. Agreement between the analytical and Monte Carlo techniques both used for the calculation of double light scattering intensity is demonstrated. Influence of detector numerical aperture on the scattering orders is shown for the intermediate single-to-multiple scattering regime. The method used can be applied to verify analytical results indirectly against experiment via Monte Carlo calculations that include the imperfections of the experiment.
Modelling of the curvature term of the Flame Surface Density transport equation for Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes simulations

Three-dimensional statistically planar simplified chemistry based Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of turbulent premixed flames with wide variations of Karlovitz number Ka , heat release parameter τ and global Lewis number Le have been used for the a-priori modeling of the curvature term of the generalised Flame Surface Density (FSD) transport equation in the context of Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) simulations. The simulation parameters used in the current study have been chosen in such a manner that both the corrugated flamelets and thin reaction zones regime of premixed turbulent combustion have been considered. The curvature term has been split into the contributions arising due to the reaction and normal diffusion components (i.e. 1 T ) and the term arising due to the
Field-assisted emission in AlGaN/GaN heterostructure field-effect transistors using low-frequency noise technique

We utilized low-frequency noise measurements to probe electron capture and emission from the traps in AlGaN/GaN heterostructure field-effect transistors as a function of drain bias. The excess noise-spectra due to generation-recombination effect shifted higher in frequency with the elevated temperature from room temperature up to 446 K. These temperature dependent noise measurements were carried out for four different drain-bias values from 4 up to 16 V with 4 V increments. The shift of the excess-noise in frequency was also seen with increasing drain bias. The characteristic recharging times for the trapped electrons varied within the range of 26 μs − 32 ms for the highest and lowest values of the drain voltage and temperature used in the experiment, respectively. The activation energies of the traps corresponding to the four different voltage values were extracted using temperature dependence by Arrhenius analysis. The trap energy at zero drain-bias was obtained as 0.71 eV by the extrapolation technique.
