Testing validity of ARI diagnosis made by primary healthcare field workers with and without a checklist.

This study assesses the validity of a checklist in identifying cases of acute respiratory infections (ARIs) used by primary health care field workers in Bangladesh. This checklist was based on the WHO guidelines for ARIs case management. About 20 randomly selected health assistants (HAs) initially examined 228 children aged less than 5 years without using the checklist and 374 children using the ARI checklist. These children were sent to the Medical Officers for assessment and treatment. Validity of the HA diagnosis of ARI was measured by calculating the sensitivity and specificity of diagnosing ARI with and without the use of the checklist. Results revealed that the sensitivity of identifying a case of ARI by the HA was 58% before the introduction of the checklist and 64% after its introduction (p = 0.3). In addition insignificant difference was observed after the calculation of specificity which was 71% before and 69% after the introduction. The ability of the HA to appropriately identify levels of pneumonia changed from 31-37% (p = 0.3). In 56 (9%) and 114 (88%) cases diagnosed as ARI respiratory rate or any sign of severe pneumonia was not recorded by physicians and HAs respectively. This study confirms that the ability of the health care workers to identify and classify ARI cases is low and simple introduction of the checklist as a diagnostic aid did not help improve their skill.
Between a Promise and a Salary: Student-Migrant-Workers’ Experiences of Precarious Labour Markets

This article examines the experiences of non-EU/EEA student-migrants orienting in precarious labour markets in Finland. Drawing on data from in-depth interviews with working student-migrants holding a temporary legal status, the article examines the incidence of unpaid work within a variety of contractual settings and sectors. The findings suggest that exploitation with regard to the subjective capacity to produce is facilitated through the imposition of unpaid work hours on legally constrained migrants in precarious employment. The findings contribute to the sociological analysis of the increasingly fragmented figures of labour as well as to the study of unpaid work as a driver of precarisation.
Exploring Parental Involvement in the Education of Their Children to Combat Truancy among Pastoralist Community Secondary Schools of North Eastern Tanzania

This study was conducted in pastoralist community secondary schools of North Eastern Tanzania to ascertain the influence of parents’ involvement in education in order to get rid of truancy which has been seen as an obstacle for their children to perform well in education. Selection of the area of study was based on its unique characteristics whereas the community and parents in particular have tendencies of neglecting education of their children which rank the area among the leading truancy areas with low completion rates. This problem led to have communities that live in extreme poverty. Mixed methods procedure was used for collecting, analyzing, and mixing both quantitative and qualitative data. Data was collected concurrently by using questionnaires and through focus group discussion and then analyzed separately to compare the two databases to determine if there was convergence, difference, or some combination and then making conclusion. Eleven secondary schools in the area were involved in the study. The participants of the study altogether were two hundred and twenty (220) parents and six teachers from different schools. Pilot study was conducted at other schools that portrayed same characteristics as those included in the study. Data was then computed through the use of One-way ANOVA technique to determine differences in variables. The findings indicated that in whatever circumstances, parents’ involvement in the education of their children was of great importance. Participants of the study agreed altogether that there should be mutual relationships between parents and school (teachers) in order to raise academic performance of students.
It’s the Best Day of Your Life: Dominant Discourses in Brides’ Wedding Planning

ABSTRACT Cultural discourses surrounding weddings and wedding planning are commonly focused on the bride. Relational Dialectics Theory 2.0 is used to conduct a critical analysis of wedding planning discourses through a Critical Interpersonal and Family Communication (CIFC) lens. Contrapuntal analysis is used to analyze interview transcripts of women talking about planning their weddings. Dominant discourses include the idea of the wedding as the perfect day, a day all about the bride. Competing, marginalized discourses wherein resistance to the central discourse is manifested include the idea that the marital relationship, not the wedding day, is the important focal point. The cultural ideology of the wedding day belonging to and being about the bride is central and powerful. Considering this discourse from a CIFC perspective, the status quo (i.e., weddings are all about the bride) is largely reinforced. This dominant discourse of wedding planning is one of individualism with the bride’s pursuit of perfection prioritized over relational discourses. Resistance to the dominant ideology is noted, but there is little critique or transformation. Although the brides appear to operate from a position of power and self-interest, the question must be asked, who does the discourse of the status quo serve?
Hydrodynamic limit of the kinetic thermomechanical Cucker-Smale model in a strong local alignment regime

We present a hydrodynamic limit from the kinetic thermomechanical Cucker-Smale (TCS) model to the hydrodynamic Cucker-Smale (CS) model in a strong local alignment regime. For this, we first provide a global existence of weak solution, and flocking dynamics for classical solution to the kinetic TCS model with local alignment force. Then we consider one-parameter family of well-prepared initial data to the kinetic TCS model in which the temperature tends to common constant value determined by initial datum, as singular parameter \begin{document}$ \varepsilon $\end{document} tends to zero. In a strong local alignment regime, the limit model is the hydrodynamic CS model in [ 8 ]. To verify this hydrodynamic limit rigorously, we adopt the technique introduced in [ 5 ] which combines the relative entropy method together with the 2-Wasserstein metric.

PRESCRIPTION PATTERN OF ANTIEPILEPTIC DRUGS IN SOUTHERN PAKISTAN: A RETROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY IN TERTIARY CARE CENTRES

Epilepsy is the most occurring neurological disorder after stroke. Prevalence of epilepsy is about 9.99 per 1000 population in Pakistan. In recent years, about 14 new antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) have been marketed. Irrational drugs prescribing might decrease patient adherence with therapy and cause therapeutic failure. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the incidence of different types of epilepsy with syndromes and use of AEDs in patients with epilepsy in detail in a population, characterized by gender and age differences, with focus on exposure of AEDs, in Karachi-Pakistan. It reveals the results of a retrospective cohort study conducted during the period of June 2015 to May 2017 at General Neurology wards of different tertiary care hospitals of Karachi, Pakistan. Prescriptions (n = 90,356) were randomly collected along with the diagnostic data of patients with epilepsy. Variables included exposure of AEDs, polytherapy, age and gender differences, AEDs dosages and Non-AEDs in the same prescription. Total of 21 AEDs were utilized during the two-year study. Variations in the prescription pattern were noticed with respect to age and gender differences. Seventy-four percent of patients with epilepsy have utilized more than one AED. Levetiracetam (38%) was the most prescribed drug among all AEDs used in hospitals of Karachi, Pakistan. Valproic acid was still the most commonly utilized AED in children after inclusion its name in black box warning drug list. This study revealed the discrepancies related to dosages of commonly prescribed AEDs. The study indicates higher prevalence of irrational use of AEDs and the discrepancies in the dosing of mostly drugs. The achieved outcomes may provide sufficient basis for pharmacovigilance studies to health care authorities.
Is the USDA core collection of common bean representative of genetic diversity of the species, as assessed by SNP diversity?

Author(s): Kuzay, S; Hamilton-Conaty, P; Palkovic, A; Gepts, P | Abstract: © 2019 The Authors. Crop Science published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. on behalf of Crop Science Society of America Core collections are envisioned to be a representative subset of larger germplasm collections. They were introduced to facilitate the characterization and use of these germplasm collections. The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) core collection of the USDA Western Regional Plant Introduction Station was one of the first collections to be established in the early 1990s. Here, we evaluate the representativity of this common bean collection in light of the availability of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) platform and new information about genetic diversity of the species, including phaseolin and seed type data. The SNP diversity was studied with a combination of STRUCTURE, principal coordinate analysis (PCoA), and neighbor-joining analysis (NJA). STRUCTURE analyses were conducted for K (number of subpopulations) = 3 and K = 7, based on the ad hoc statistic ΔK. The K = 3 analysis recognized the split between Andean and Mesoamerican domesticates and the subdivision of the Mesoamerican domesticates into high- (Durango/Jalisco) and low-altitude (Mesoamerica) ecogeographic races. The K = 7 analysis further subdivided the Andean group identified for K = 3, as well as the high-altitude group from the Mesoamerican gene pool. It also identified smaller groups consisting of Mesoamerican wild beans. The PCoA and NJA confirmed the STRUCTURE results and highlighted the existence of presumed hybridization among groups. Our results suggest that this core collection should be updated by adding domesticated categories, developing a separate wild common bean core collection, and developing cores for specific purposes.
The incidence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in antenatal women by screening: a study in a semi urban area in Telangana, India

Background: Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia is a premalignant cervical disease which may lead to cervical cancer. The screening of the cervical cancer includes the screening of cervical cytology as well as testing for oncogenic human papilloma viruses (HPV) since most of the precursor lesions appear in the women of child bearing age. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the incidence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in antenatal women by screening with papanicolaou smear. Methods: Macroscopic abnormalities such as cervicitis, polyps, erosions, nabothian cysts, hypertrophied cervix, growths and ulcers were noted. A cervical smear using Ayre’s spatula was taken from the ecto cervix and spread on to a labeled slide and immediately fixed. Results: Majority of the women were in the age group of 20-30 years in the study group. The overall mean age of the women in the study was around 25 years. The mean age at the time of menarche was around 14 years and at the time of marriage was approximately 22 years. On Pap smear, 55.2% of the 1000 cases were normal, with inflammation seen in 408 (40.8%) of the cases. 20 (2%) of the patients in our study had low grade squamous intra epithelial lesion, while 7 patients (0.2%) had high grade squamous intra epithelial lesion with two cases showing CIN II grading and 5 with CIN I. Conclusions: An early detection of the same can lead to a proper and efficient treatment.

Evidence based literature review of clinical management of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in real world settings

The aim of the present review is to understand the gap between real world clinical practices, guidelines recommendations and to propose minimum essentials that can be followed in clinical practice in NAFLD patients in India. A detailed literature search of published medical reports in English language was performed on electronic databases such as PubMed and Cochrane, from 2000 to 2016 using relevant search terms. The search yielded 25 relevant articles whose full texts were retrieved and evaluated. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an emerging cause of liver disease in India. It is observed that physicians under appreciate the overlap between NAFLD and metabolic risk factors, thus missing a significant proportion of high-risk NAFLD patients. Lifestyle intervention is generally considered the first line therapy for patients with NAFLD without steatohepatitis while pharmacotherapy (in addition to lifestyle intervention) is suggested for patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Current therapies are directed towards improving the metabolic parameters which contribute to disease pathogenesis. Pharmacological therapies for NAFLD and NASH include antioxidants such as vitamin E and ursodeoxycholic acid; insulin sensitizers such as metformin and thiazolidinones, weight loss drugs like orlistat and consideration of bariatric surgery for morbidly obese patients. High degree of suspicion is necessary for diagnosing NAFLD in patients with metabolic risk factors. Further studies are required from India as genotype/clinico-pathological profile of Indian NAFLD patients differ from the western population. Further, prospective studies will fill the various missing links associated with management of NAFLD in Indian patients in a more effective manner.
Study of Limb Darkening Effect and Rotation Period of Sun by using Solar Telescope

122 DOI: http://dx.doi. org/10.37398/JSR.2020. 640132 Abstract: Dynamic Sun that directly or indirectly controls the whole geospace environment and affects the space-borne (satellites, rockets) and ground based technological systems (communication, navigation). Numbers of sunspots seen on the solar surface are known as the measure of solar activity. By tracking these sunspots we have calculated solar rotational time period (synodic and sidereal time period). To that end, we have used the unique facility of a solar telescope, a CCD camera and a solar spectrometer installed at Physics Department, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi. We observed full solar disc images during morning hours (9:15 am to 9:30 am) from April, 8-18, 2019. The synodic time period and the sidereal time period were calculated as 26.94 days and 25.09 days respectively. It is also observed that the solar disc intensity also known as solar limb darkening effect decreases from center to the limb. To study the solar limb darkening effect, we have taken full solar disk images free from sunspots during morning hours from 28 March, 2019 to 8 April, 2019 and analyzed their intensity variations to calculate solar limb darkening coefficient of the Sun. The average solar limb darkening coefficient comes out to be 0.61. Our above observed results are found to be in consistent with the other reported results.
COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF THERMAL RESISTANCE OF PALM STEARIN AND HIGH OLEIC BLENDED OIL WHEN SUBJECTED TO FRYING PRACTICE IN FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS

In this study, the thermal stability of palm frying oil (palm stearin, POs) and a formulated high oleic frying oil (high oleic blended oil, HOBO) in China was evaluated under simulated frying protocol in fast food restaurants. A series of physico-chemical properties of the oils were measured including change of colour, acid value (AV), peroxide value (PV), p-anisidine value (p-AV), total oxidation (TOTOX=2PV+p-AV), fatty acids composition (FAC), iodine value (IV), carbonyl group value (CGV), total polar compounds (TPC), oxidative stability index (OSI) and vitamin E content. The frying experiments were conducted at 170 ± 5°C for five consecutive days where French fries were fried in five cycles hourly for 12 hr a day. The results indicated that POs gave higher physical and chemical stability than HOBO under extended frying conditions, considering its relatively lower increase in TPC, p-AV, TOTOX and CGV, lesser decrease in C18:2/C16:0 and IV, and longer induction period. Based on the results, it can be conjectured that POs is a more preferred choice for deep fat frying with lower deterioration rate.
Hybrid TaON/LaTiO2N photoelectrode for water oxidation

Efficient and stable photoelectrodes for water oxidation are highly desirable in the field of photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. However, photoelectrodes with low externally applied bias usually exhibit weak photocurrent and vice versa. Herein, novel and efficient CoOx-TaON/LTON composite photoanodes have been successfully prepared by a microwave assisted method followed with a particle transfer procedure. The obtained photoanode generated an anodic photocurrent of ~7.2 mA cm−2 at 1.2 VRHE and initiated the anodic photourrent at ~0.5 VRHE. The HC-STH of the composite photoelectrode reached 1.0% at 1.2 VRHE. Further, stoichiometric oxygen and hydrogen are stably produced on the photoanode and the counter electrode with a Faraday efficiency of unity for 2 h.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Earnings in Later-Life Self-Employment

Recent studies have shown that individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are relatively often engaged in self-employment. We analyze whether self-employment mediates the relationship between ADHD and earnings. To overcome endogeneity concerns in the estimation of this relationship, we use the polygenic risk score (PRS) for ADHD. In our longitudinal sample of 7,905 individuals (50–65 years old) from the Health and Retirement Study, a standard deviation increase in the PRS for ADHD increases the odds of self-employment by 32% and decreases yearly earnings by 5%. Self-employment explains (mediates) 59% of the negative relationship between the PRS for ADHD and earnings.
