La Sensitividad. La Fijación del Estado Visionario
Authors: Rivera Guiral María Pilar
Published: February 2017

Creemos que la experiencia visionaria es el germen de toda creación genuina, por ello en este artículo exploramos la capacidad del ser humano de percibir la realidad de forma extraordinaria. A través del relato en primera persona de la neuroanatomista Jill B. Taylor que padeció un ictus, descubrimos que el mundo puede presentarse de forma fluida, vibrante y luminosa. Pero, sobre todo, nos basamos en el concepto de sensitividad, la capacidad de ver más allá de lo sensible, que la neuropsiquiatra Shafica Karagulla investigó con rigor científico. Los sensitivos, son personas que tienen dones naturales para ver de forma dilatada, colores, campos y vórtices de energía, captan mayor espectro de ondas, descodifican mayor número y cualidad de vibraciones, tramas, interconexiones e interrelaciones y mayor cantidad y cualidad de fenómenos. Nos detenemos especialmente en el caso de los savants, personas sensitivas con talentos asombrosos en un extremo que, a menudo, van acompañadas de disfuncionalidad en el otro.

Authors: David Abhinav , Goel Raj Kumar , Patel Prashant , Paul Priyadarshani
Published: February 2017

Background: Calcitriol is one of the active forms of vitamin D. It not only acts on calcium metabolism but might have a role in treating various disorders also through vitamin D receptors that are present in many tissues besides intestine and bone. This study was conducted to compare antinociceptive activity of Calcitriol with Diclofenac and Morphine in animal models.Methods: In this study, healthy Swiss albino mice were taken after permission from IAEC. Mice were divided into six groups as one control- treated with normal saline, two standards - treated with diclofenac and treated with morphine while three tests - treated with Calcitriol in dose of 15µg /kg/mice, 30µg/kg/mice and 60µg/kg/mice respectively. Comparison of antinociception was done using Tail pinch and writhing method.Results: Tail pinch and Writhing methods were used for comparison of antinociceptive activity. In tail pinch model, Calcitriol showed some analgesia at 30 and 60μg/Kg doses, which was more than control but not comparable with the standard Morphine. In writhing method, test doses of Calcitriol (15 and 30μg/Kg) failed to show analgesic efficacy in inflammatory pain but test dose of 60μg/Kg showed some analgesic activity which was not comparable with standard Diclofenac.Conclusions: Antinociception was exhibited at higher doses of Calcitriol by tail pinch method while in writhing method analgesic activity was shown with only 60 μg/Kg dose of Calcitriol. The results obtained from this study needs to be further evaluated by planning extensive animal experimentation.

Authors: Sah Ravinder K. , Chandane Rakhamaji D. , . Krishna , Manocha Sachin , Kapur Ajita
Published: February 2017

Background: Lack of knowledge of Pharmacovigilance (PhV) and Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) reporting culture among the prescribers have been identified as major factors for under reporting of ADRs. In an attempt to increase the reporting many countries have allowed pharmacists to report ADRs. This study was planned to assess the knowledge, attitude and practices of PhV among community pharmacist in Delhi, India.Methods: Cross sectional, questionnaire based study was conducted to evaluate the knowledge, attitude and practice of PhV among 200 community pharmacists of Delhi (west Delhi) India.Results: Majority (74%) of the respondents felt that ADR reporting is necessary but only 9% were aware of existing PhV Program of India. Only 5% of pharmacists knew about elements of PhV. Forty percent (40%) of pharmacists did not know where to report ADRs and 26% felt that there is no need to report ADRs. Significant number (77%) of pharmacists felt that ADRs reporting will damage their image. 96% never try to find ADRs and in case if they get ADRs from patients, majority (95%) of them never report to anybody. Almost all (96%) of respondents cited busy schedule as the main reason for non-reporting and 86% said that it will be very convenient if ADRs are collected by someone from them.Conclusions: Community pharmacists had positive attitude towards ADRs reporting but their knowledge and practice regarding PhV need to be improved. There is a need of regular training to increase their role in PhV.

Authors: M. B. Rekha , M. B. Hemamalini , Bhandare Basavaraj
Published: February 2017

Background: Rational prescribing forms the corner stone of successful implementation of rational drug use. To boost the cause of rational use of Medicine, the P-drug concept was given in late nineties. The idea was to make Physicians familiar with few personal drugs chosen from National Essential drug list based on efficacy, safety, suitability and cost. The present study was conducted to assess the awareness of clinicians about basic pharmacological concepts.Methods: It is a cross sectional study with a study population of 100, conducted in RRMCH for a period of one month. It is a questionnaire based study involving clinicians and post graduates working in this hospital. Descriptive statistical analysis has been carried out in the present study.Results: In our study, 38% of physicians were aware of the term Essential drugs and 26% of doctors prescribed drugs from National Essential drug list. 56% of respondents were aware of term rational drug use but only 1/3 of them were aware of adverse effects, drug interactions of the drugs they prescribed. Majority of physicians (85%) used standard text book as the source of drug information.Conclusions: Lack of knowledge among physicians about new concepts like p-drug, rational drug use and essential drugs points towards need for having more CMEs on basic pharmacological concepts.

Authors: Shukla Ajay Kumar , Agnihotri Astha
Published: February 2017

Background: Indian drug market has large numbers of branded formulations for every drug molecule. 1 Cost-sensitive healthcare environment has created a challenging workplace for clinicians. Efficient use of healthcare resources without compromising quality of patient care has been a challenging task for healthcare professionals. There is a wide range of variation in the prices of drugs marketed in India. Thus, a study was planned to analyse out cost variations of antiepileptic drugs available in Indian market.Methods: Minimum and maximum costs in Rupees (INR) of different brands of same generic antipsychotic drugs, in the same strength and dosage forms were compared. The cost ratio and percentage cost variation were calculated for each generic antipsychotic drug. The number of formulations for antipsychotic drugs and number of brands for each of them were also taken into consideration.Results: This study shows that in Indian market, there are wide variations in the prices of different brands of same generic antipsychotic drug. The highest cost ratio and percent cost variation was found for risperidone 2 mg [(1:16.27) and 1527.48], followed by risperidone 4 mg [(1:16.25) and 1525.25], risperidone 3 mg [(1:15.67) and 1467.33], risperidone 1 mg [(1:14.86) and 1386.78], olanzapine 10 mg [(1:12.36) and 1136.84], and olanzapine 5 mg [(1:12.31) and 1130.76]. Highest number of brands of antipsychotic drug available in Indian market are for divalproex sodium 500mg(25) followed by olanzapine 15 mg(23), olanzapine 5 mg(23), olanzapine 2.5mg(14), and risperidone 1 mg (14). Highest numbers of formulations of antipsychotic drug available in Indian market are for olanzapine(06), quetiapine(05), haloperidol(05), and aripiprazole(05).Conclusions: In Indian market, the average percentage price variation of different brands of the same oral antipsychotic drugs is very wide. Treatment with antipsychotic drugs usually has a long course with treatment adherence being a crucial factor for successful treatment. Improved adherence to the drug treatment can be ensured by decreasing the cost of therapy. Decreased drug cost expenditure can be ensured by changes in the government policies and regulations, integrating pharmacoeconomics as part of medical education curriculum, and creating awareness among treating physicians for switching to cost effective therapy.

Prácticas de la Diplomacia Fronteriza en las Pampas, Siglo XIX
Authors: De Jong Ingrid
Published: February 2017

Resumo: até finais da década de 1870, as elites políticas governantes da Argentina iniciavam a ocupação militar do Pampa e da Patagônia, concretizando assim o projeto de incorporar os territórios indígenas à produção agropecuária extensiva. Com isso se poderia por

fim à diplomacia fronteiriça - um espaço de relações entre indígenas e crioulos que havia se desenvolvido junto às relações militares e comerciais por mais de um século. Neste trabalho nos interessa reconstruir as instituições diplomáticas na Fronteira Sul durante as décadas centrais do século XIX, a partir de uma abordagem que busca contextualizar estas práticas de longa duração das fronteiras coloniais e, em seguida, republicanas. Isso não somente nos permite reconstruir uma dimensão pouco conhecida das políticas estatais, sem perguntarmos pelo agenciamento indígena, suas estratégias e expectativas em relação ao Estado durante a última etapa de existência da fronteira.

Weed management in direct seeded rice: A review
Authors: Raj*1 Sheeja K , Syriac2 Elizabeth K
Published: February 2017

Weeds are the major biological constraint in direct seeded rice (DSR) due to the concurrent emergence of competitive weeds, absence of water to suppress weeds at the time of seedling emergence and emergence of difficult to control weeds. Strategies on weed management in direct seeded rice depend on critical period of weed control, weed flora and method to be adopted. In order to achieve the long term and sustainable management of weeds in DSR an integration of different weed management strategies like integrated weed management (IWM) are essential. The literature regarding the critical period of weed control, weed flora and different methods for the sustainable management of weeds in direct seeded rice are reviewed in this paper.

Authors: Mazid* Mohammad
Published: February 2017

An experiment was carried out to investigate whether the application of gibberellic acid (GA) along with NaH2PO4 and/or Na2SO4 could ameliorate photosynthetic variables and enzymes in chickpea cultivar DCP 92-3 without compromising the nitrogen fixing activity. Before, sowing the seeds of chickpea were soaked for 8 h in 10-6MGA. 60 and 70 days after sowing (DAS), the plants were sprayed with 10-6MGA along with 2 kg P and /or S/ha in two equal splits. Performance of the crop was assessed in terms of chlorophyll content (Chl), net photosynthetic rate (PN), stomatal conductance (gs), carbonic anhydrase activity (CA) and one most significant N-fixing enzyme, NR. Treatment (16) SGA+FGAPS proved best, it enhanced Chl content by 46.16% and 48.84% PN by 64.24 and 65.37%, NR by 22.37% and 22.46% respectively at 90 and 100 DAS. CA at 100 DAS only and gs at both stages of sampling found non-significant. Moreover, CA enhanced by 64.56% at 90 DAS also.

Authors: Devi K. Rukmini , Chandra B. Satish , Lingaiah N. , Hari Y. , Venkanna V.
Published: February 2017

Variability, correlation and path analysis for yield and quality traits were studied on 27 rice genotypes. The higher estimates of PCV and GCV were observed for yield per plant (42.04) and filled seeds per panicle (33.9) indicate possibility of genetic improvement through direct selection. High heritability in broad sense coupled with high genetic advance as percent of mean exhibited by effective tillers, plant height, flag leaf length, filled grains per panicle, test weight, yield per plant, head rice recovery and length/breadth ratio indicating preponderance of additive gene action which provide good scope for further improvement by selection. Grain yield per plant had highest significant positive association with filled seeds per panicle, plant height, flag leaf length, effective tillers, flag leaf width and panicle length indicating importance of these characters for yield improvement, while head rice recovery was found to be significantly and positively correlated with milling percent and hulling percent . Path analysis reveals that test weight (3.48), effective tillers (1.57), and filled grains per panicle (1.41) had positive direct effect on grain yield per plant. Among the quality traits kernel length followed by milling percent and kernel elongation ratio had direct effect on head rice recovery.

Published: February 2017

Farmers’ tolerance towards wild animals are affected by a variety of factorsand understanding those factors influencing low tolerance among people is essential for designing strategies to alleviate livestock owners–wildlife conflict.Conflict between human and wildlife are reported to be increasing over the time that leads to negative consequencescause low tolerance towards wild animalsin local communities. In this context, aLikert’s scale was developed to measure the farmers’tolerance towards conflict between wildlife and livestock. A list of 30 positive and negative (60:40) statements were prepared which indicated the tolerance of farmers and irrelevant statements were discarded. Remaining 17 statements were sent to the 50 judges who were the experts in the field of livestock or wildlife and requested to rate on five point continuum. On the basis of total individual scores of judges, the top 25 per cent judges with the highest scores and bottom 25 per cent judges with lowest total scores were consideredfor the study. On the basis of calculated ‘t’ values, 10 statements (8 positive and 2 negative) were retained for the final scale and this scale could be used to measure livestock owners’ tolerance beyond the study area with suitable modifications.

Disability, Deprivation of Liberty and Human Rights Norms: Reconciling European and International Approaches
Authors: Flynn Eilionóir
Published: February 2017

Persons with disabilities are subject to unique forms of deprivation of liberty, often justified by reference to the need to protect their right to life, right to health, and to protect the human rights of others. This paper examines disability-specific forms of deprivation of liberty, particularly those authorised in mental health and capacity law, in light of their compliance with European and international human rights frameworks. It explores the apparent tension between Article 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which permits deprivation of liberty of ‘persons of unsound mind’ in certain circumstances, and Article 14 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which states that ‘the existence of a disability shall in no case justify a deprivation of liberty.’ The challenges in attempting to comply with both provisions are illustrated through reference to developments in England and Wales. This paper also seeks to offer a way forward for States Parties to both Conventions, in order to protect the rights of persons with disabilities.

Authors: Fatmala Kiki Agustin
Published: February 2017

ABSTRAKPemberantasan kusta di beberapa daerah di Indonesia masih dikatakan lambat. Hal tersebut disebabkan karena faktor pengetahuan, sosial dan ekonomi masyarakat dalam melakukan pengobatan Multi Drug Therapy (MDT). Pengobatan kusta sangat penting dalam pemberantasan kusta karena penyakit kusta dapat disembuhkan dengan berobat secara teratur. Jika penderita tidak minum obat secara teratur, maka kuman akan resisten terhadap MDT sehingga gejala akan menetap bahkan dapat memburuk. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor yang berhubungan dengan kepatuhan minum obat penderita kusta di Kecamatan Pragaan Sumenep. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian cross sectional. Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah 40 orang yang dihitung menggunakan teknik Simple Random Sampling. Hubungan antara variabel independen dengan variabel dependen diketahui melalui uji Chi-square dengan α= 0,05. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian diketahui ada hubungan antara pengetahuan dengan kepatuhan minum obat (p = 0,01). Ada hubungan antara dukungan keluarga dengan kepatuhan minum obat (p=0,00). Ada hubungan antara stigma masyarakat dengan kepatuhan minum obat penderita kusta (p =0,00). Ada hubungan antara peran petugas dengan kepatuhan minum obat penderita kusta (p = 0,01).

Child Health Monitoring Description in MCTS at Ranuyoso PHC Lumajang
Authors: Wijayanti Bettis
Published: February 2017

Infant Mortality Rate in Lumajang was always higher than the infant mortality rate in East Java Province. Ranuyoso is a region with the highest infant mortality rate and AKABA in 2013 and 2014, with 33 and 22 deaths. The Government had implemented a program to improve the health and the consolidation scope is monitored by the Pemantauan Wilayah Setempat Kesehatan Ibu dan Anak (PWS KIA). PWS KIA had not been going well according to its purpose as a tool for monitoring the KIA service coverage to increase the range and quality of KIA services. The purpose of this research was to describe the implementation of PWS KIA for indicators of child in Health Center of Ranuyoso which based on attributes of simplicity, acceptability, sensitivity, representativeness, data quality, timeliness and stability. This research used descriptive method evaluative with coordinator midwife, midwives health center and eight village midwives as the respondent. Description based on the attributes of surveillance system showed that PWS KIA indicator of child in Health Center of Ranuyoso was not simple, sensitive but not supported well by the midwives, the data were less quality, not timely and unstable. Alternative solutions to problems that had been found were to performing the advanced analysis to determine the causality amount variables by midwives, holding routine supervision from the senior midwives, procurement of SOP or guidebook for midwives, and computerizing the recording until reporting start from village midwives, also the making of the attendance and expeditions book to record the reporting date of midwives. Keywords: MCTS, attributes surveillance, child health monitoring

Layout Optimization of Cooperative Distributed Microphone Arrays Based on Estimation of Source Separation Performance
Authors: Sekiguchi Kouhei ,   Graduate School of Informatics, Kyoto University, Bando Yoshiaki , Itoyama Katsutoshi , Yoshii Kazuyoshi
Published: February 2017

[abstFig src='/00290001/08.jpg' width='300' text='Optimizing robot positions for source separation' ] The active audition method presented here improves source separation performance by moving multiple mobile robots to optimal positions. One advantage of using multiple mobile robots that each has a microphone array is that each robot can work independently or as part of a big reconfigurable array. To determine optimal layout of the robots, we must be able to predict source separation performance from source position information because actual source signals are unknown and actual separation performance cannot be calculated. Our method thus simulates delay-and-sum beamforming from a possible layout to calculate gain theoretically, i.e., the expected ratio of a target sound source to other sound sources in the corresponding separated signal. Robots are moved into the layout with the highest average gain over target sources. Experimental results showed that our method improved the harmonic mean of signal-to-distortion ratios (SDRs) by 5.5 dB in simulation and by 3.5 dB in a real environment.
