Authors: SINGH S. K. , SINGH DHANANJAI , SINGH ARCHANA
Published: February 2018

Lentil (Lens culinaris) is one of the oldest pulse crops and most nutritious among the rabi pulses.
Front line demonstration was conducted at farmer's field of Gazipur UP, India, involving improved
technology. The productivity and economic returns of lentil from improved technologies were
calculated and compared with the corresponding farmer's practices (local check). Results revealed
that improved scientific lentil production practices recorded higher yield as compared to farmer's
practices. The improved technology recorded higher yield of 13.87 q/ha and 14.70 q/ha in the
year 2015-16 and 2016-17, respectively over farmer's practice10.90 and 10.67 q/ha. In the economic
front too, improved technology gave higher gross return (90155 and 88200 Rs./ha), net return
(63336 and 65714 Rs./ha) with higher benefit cost ratio (3.36and 3.92) as compared to farmer's
practices. The variation in per cent increase in the yield was attributed by lack of scientific
knowledge, and poor socio economic condition. Under sustainable agricultural practices, with this
study it is concluded that the FLDs programmes were effective in changing attitude, skill and
knowledge of improved package and practices of HYV of lentil adoption.

The investigation was undertaken to determine the effect of spacing and cultivars on economic
horticultural traits of onion. In trail different spacing was taken 7.5x10cm, 10x10cm, 12.5x10cm and
15x10cm. Three varieties viz. NHRDF Red-3, NHRDF Red-2 and Agrifound Light Red were used
for study. The layout of experimental field was laid down in Factorial Randomized Block Design
with 3 replications. It is clearly revealed that the significantly widest spacing (15x10cm) produced
higher plant height (70.65cm), number of leaves (9.45) and neck diameter (4.48cm) of plant. The
bulb length (6.78cm), diameter (7.20 cm) and number of scale per bulb (8.50) also the same trend in
widest spacing (15x10cm). The weight of individual bulb of onion (50.56g) was increased with the
wider spacing (12.5x10cm). On the contrary, yield ha-1 was the highest (406.45 q ha-1) at closer
spacing (10x10cm) and the lowest was (365.50 q ha-1) at wider spacing.

Published: February 2018

Considering health benefits, consumers are demanding special foods worldwide. Among the
ready to eat grain based baked foods, cookies are well preferred by consumers. By-products of
wineries like pomace, lees etc. have antioxidant activities beside nutritional and rheological
properties, Addition of pomace in different bakery foods enhanced nutritional and functional
properties as well as improved sensory parameters. In present study, baking conditions were
standardized along with optimizing quantity of pomace powder for making acceptable cookies.
Different sources of pomace powder were evaluated for functional and nutritional properties.
Among the various sources, significant differences were recorded in content of phenols, tannins,
anthocyanins, protein and carbohydrates. Pomace of Manjri Medika contained phenols, tannins,
anthocyanins, protein, carbohydrates and colour intensity. Antioxidant activities were varied from
269.22 to 296.33 per cent with non-significant difference, when measured by DPPH assay. On the
basis of obtained results, 15% WGPP was added to prepare cookies. Darkest colour was observed in
cookies prepared from Manjri Medika. But cookies made by addition of pomace from Sauvignon
Blanc were recorded with higher values of various sensory parameters namely texture, mouth
sensation, aroma, taste and overall acceptability. On the basis of results of present study, 15%
WGPP is found acceptable to prepare cookies. The sources of pomace affect different properties
and variations were reflected in prepared cookies also. More attractive cookies were prepared by
WGPP of Manjri Medika but cookies from added pomace of Sauvignon Blanc were found better
based on organoleptic study.
Determination of Drainage Coefficient and Bund Height of Rice Fields at Gaya and Bhagalpur Districts in Bihar
Authors: UPADHYAYA ASHUTOSH , Singh S. K.
Published: February 2018

Rainfall plays an important role in agricultural production, particularly in rainfed areas. Less
occurrence of rainfall causes drought like situation and crops suffer due to deficit of water, whereas
heavy rainfall occurring for longer duration lead to flood like situation resulting in more runoff,
soil erosion and crop damage. Rice can sustain water for little longer period compared to other
crops, but this crop also needs drainage. 30 years daily rainfall data was collected at Gaya and
Bhagalpur districts and analyzed. Two parameter Gamma distribution model was found fitting
well in 1 to 7 consecutive days maximum rainfall corresponding to return periods varying from 2 to
20 years. In order to determine drainage coefficient at Gaya and Bhagalpur districts, depthduration-
return period curves were developed. Tangents were drawn on the curves from 100 mm,
150 mm and 200 mm points and slope of these tangents gave the drainage coefficients
corresponding to these rain water storage levels. Since 10 years return period is generally
considered in design of agricultural structures, so the poin ton Y axis, where tangent drawn on the
curves of 10 years return period crosses, gives the bund height. For both Gaya and Bhagalpur bund
heights were found as 24 cm and corresponding drainage coefficients as 12.5 and 25 mm/day.

Text Messages Sent to Household Tuberculosis Contacts in Kampala, Uganda: Process Evaluation (Preprint)
Authors: Meyer Amanda J , Babirye Diana , Armstrong-Hough Mari , Mark David , Ayakaka Irene , Katamba Achilles , Haberer Jessica E , Davis J Lucian
Published: February 2018

BACKGROUND

Previous studies have reported the inconsistent effectiveness of text messaging (short message service, SMS) for improving health outcomes, but few have examined to what degree the quality, or “fidelity,” of implementation may explain study results.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to determine the fidelity of a one-time text messaging (SMS) intervention to promote the uptake of tuberculosis evaluation services among household contacts of index patients with tuberculosis.

METHODS

From February to June 2017, we nested a process evaluation of text message (SMS) delivery within the intervention arm of a randomized controlled trial of tuberculosis contact investigation in Kampala, Uganda. Because mobile service providers in Uganda do not provide delivery confirmations, we asked household tuberculosis contacts to confirm the receipt of a one-time tuberculosis-related text message (SMS) by sending a text message (SMS) reply through a toll-free “short code.” Two weeks later, a research officer followed up by telephone to confirm the receipt of the one-time text message (SMS) and administer a survey. We considered participants lost to follow-up after 3 unsuccessful call attempts on 3 separate days over a 1-week period.

RESULTS

Of 206 consecutive household contacts, 119 had a text message (SMS) initiated from the server. While 33% (39/119) were children aged 5-14 years, including 20% (24/119) girls and 13% (15/119) boys, 18 % (21/119) were adolescents or young adults, including 12% (14/119) young women and 6% (7/119) young men. 50% (59/119) were adults, including 26% (31/119) women and 24% (28/119) men. Of 107 (90%) participants for whom we could ascertain text message (SMS) receipt status, 67% (72/107) confirmed text message (SMS) receipt, including 22% (24/107) by reply text message (SMS) and 45% (48/107) during the follow-up telephone survey. No significant clinical or demographic differences were observed between those who did and did not report receiving the text message (SMS). Furthermore, 52% (56/107) reported ever reading the SMS. The cumulative likelihood of a text message (SMS) reaching its target and being read and retained by a participant was 19%.

CONCLUSIONS

The fidelity of a one-time text message (SMS) intervention to increase the uptake of household tuberculosis contact investigation and linkage to care was extremely low, a fact only discoverable through detailed process evaluation. This study suggests the need for systematic process monitoring and reporting of implementation fidelity in both research studies and programmatic interventions using mobile communications to improve health.
STIGLER’S INFLUENTIAL CONTRIBUTION TO ECONOMIC THOUGHT
Authors: Adji Artidiatun
Published: February 2018

This paper analyzes George J. Stigler’s influential contributions to economic ideas, specifically on industrial structures, the functioning of markets, the causes and effects of public regulation, the economics of information, and on the development of economic thought. Stigler’s most influential contribution to economic thought came in his work on information theory. Treating information as a valuable commodity, he explained why prices differ for identical goods. From his work, many other theories have been built to explain economic behavior. A considerable number of works on decision making under uncertainty could not have progressed without an understanding of the role of information. His swing of the pendulum in economic regulation constitutes a great turnabout. He started research, known as public choice, which assumes that government policy makers are driven by self-interest rather than pure concern for the public’s welfare. His views have now become those of  the mainstream.
THE IMPACT OF EARTHQUAKE ON CHILD TEST SCORE
Authors: Sulistyaningrum Eny
Published: February 2018

Natural disasters always affect different aspects of individual life. They affect almost every part of life, such as the emotional, economic, physical, social, and environmental aspects. Children are believed to be very vulnerable to disasters. The increasing frequency of disasters and the intensity of their destruction motivate an analysis of the impacts of disasters, especially on education, for children. This paper uses a micro level survey data set from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) which covers approximately 83% of the Indonesian population within the survey area. The main objective of this paper is to examine the effects of earthquakes on students’ performance, measured by their child test scores. This type of disaster was chosen because of its intensity, as measured by the percentage of people killed, and the percentage of people evacuated. Moreover, we also investigate the children who took the test immediately after the earthquake and compare their scores with those whose tests were a year after the earthquake. Arguably an earthquake is an exogenous event, so we use the exogenous variation of earthquake as a natural experiment design to estimate the effect of earthquakes on child test scores. A Difference in Difference model (DiD) can be used for estimating if a certain group is exposed to the causal variable of interest, such as an earthquake, and other groups are not. The results confirm that child test scores are significantly affected by earthquakes.
Mechanisms, Clinical Implications, and Treatment of Intradialytic Hypotension
Authors: Reeves Patrick B. , Mc Causland Finnian R.
Published: February 2018

Individuals with ESKD requiring maintenance hemodialysis face a unique hemodynamic challenge, typically on a thrice-weekly basis. In an effort to achieve some degree of euvolemia, ultrafiltration goals often involve removal of the equivalent of an entire plasma volume. Maintenance of adequate end-organ perfusion in this setting is dependent on the institution of a variety of complex compensatory mechanisms. Unfortunately, secondary to a myriad of patient- and dialysis-related factors, this compensation often falls short and results in intradialytic hypotension. Physicians and patients have developed a greater appreciation for the breadth of adverse outcomes associated with intradialytic hypotension, including higher cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. In this review, we summarize the evidence for adverse outcomes associated with intradialytic hypotension, explore the underlying pathophysiology, and use this as a basis to introduce potential strategies for its prevention and treatment.
Ultimatum Game, Loss Aversion, and Status Quo Bias in Action: The Case of Privatization of PCCW
Authors: Ka Kit Man
Published: February 2018

In 2008, Pacific Century Regional Development and China Netcom Corporation, two major shareholders of Pacific Century Cyber Works (PCCW, 00008.hk), proposed privatization of the firm listed in Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Minority shareholders opposed fiercely. The proposal, although endorsed in special shareholders meeting in February 2009, was challenged in Court and overturned, due to allegations of vote-rigging in the shareholders meeting. One interesting aspect of this episode is that, while the offer by major shareholders was very attractive compare to the current share price, it is hard to understand why relatively large percentage of shareholders voted against the offer. The percentage deviates from what often found in ultimatum game experiments, as the offer proposed by the major shareholders was comparable to the median offers in a lot of ultimatum game experiments. This could be understood through loss aversion, which predict a bias towards status quo.
The structure of teacher-specific intercultural competence: Empirical evidence on the ‘beliefs, values, and goals’ dimension
Authors: Leutwyler Bruno , Petrovic Danijela , Jokic Tijana
Published: February 2018

The aim of this contribution is to identify the elements that are integral parts of a teacherspecific intercultural competence construct. In this paper, we focus on those facets of the construct that are considered to be rather value-laden and affectively tinged. Following the widely used theoretical model of teachers? professional competencies developed by Baumert and Kunter (2013), we conceptually place these facets within the Beliefs, Values, & Goals dimension, and propose four core elements: (1) appreciation of cultural diversity; (2) ethnorelative worldview; (3) attitudes toward integration; and (4) identification with goals of intercultural education. In order to test the hypothesis that these four aspects represent one single overarching latent construct, we operationalized each with an appropriate scale and then scrutinized the instruments? internal consistency, and convergent and factorial validity. The results suggest that our four scales have good internal consistencies (Cronbach?s alphas between .82 and .89), adhere to a one-factor structure (as demonstrated by Confirmatory Factor Analysis), and indicate one latent construct (RMSEA = 0.000; TLI = 1.004; CFI = 1.000; SRMR = .007). With these results, this paper presents a valid, contextually relevant new instrument to assess (pre-service) teachers? beliefs, values and goals regarding intercultural education and contributes to resolving theoretical, methodological, and practical issues of research on intercultural competencies.

Published: February 2018

OBJECTIVE

In patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes on basal insulin, prandial insulin may be initiated. We assessed the efficacy and safety of initiating insulin degludec/liraglutide fixed-ratio combination (IDegLira) versus basal-bolus insulin.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

A phase 3b trial examined patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes on insulin glargine (IGlar U100) 20–50 units/day and metformin, randomized to IDegLira or IGlar U100 and insulin aspart ≤4 times per day.

RESULTS

Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) decreased from 8.2% (66 mmol/mol) to 6.7% (50 mmol/mol) with IDegLira and from 8.2% (67 mmol/mol) to 6.7% (50 mmol/mol) with basal-bolus (estimated treatment difference [ETD] −0.02% [95% CI −0.16, 0.12]; −0.2 mmol/mol [95% CI −1.7, 1.3]), confirming IDegLira noninferiority versus basal-bolus (P < 0.0001). The number of severe or blood glucose–confirmed symptomatic hypoglycemia events was lower with IDegLira versus basal-bolus (risk ratio 0.39 [95% CI 0.29, 0.51]; rate ratio 0.11 [95% CI 0.08, 0.17]). Body weight decreased with IDegLira and increased with basal-bolus (ETD −3.6 kg [95% CI −4.2, −2.9]). Fasting plasma glucose reductions were similar; lunch, dinner, and bedtime self-monitored plasma glucose measurements were significantly lower with basal-bolus. Sixty-six percent of patients on IDegLira vs. 67.0% on basal-bolus achieved HbA1c <7.0% (53 mmol/mol). Total daily insulin dose was lower with IDegLira (40 units) than basal-bolus (84 units total; 52 units basal).

CONCLUSIONS

In patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes on IGlar U100 and metformin, IDegLira treatment elicited HbA1c reductions comparable to basal-bolus, with statistically superior lower hypoglycemia rates and weight loss versus weight gain.

Rare Case of Post Traumatic Carotico-Juglar-Vertebral Fistula with Pseudo Aneurysm
Authors: Kumar Saurabh , Aga Pallavi , Srivatstav P. K. , Dwivedi Durgesh K. , Parihar Anit , Kohli Neera
Published: February 2018

Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is usually seen after acute vascular injuries. An AVF with pseudo aneurysm may present soon after the vascular injury or later. Since the AVF are associated with direct shunting of blood between artery and vein thus bypassing the capillaries, they are usually associated with significant haemodynamic instability. Uncorrected large AVF lead to significant morbidity and may finally land up in high output cardiac failure in rare cases. Proper diagnosis of AVF needs careful clinical examination and imaging modalities like ultrasound and CT angiography.

Published: February 2018

Artikel ini membahas tentang penggunaan metode trigger detection untuk membuat simulasi lalulintas yang melibatkan kendaraan NPC (Non Playable Character) untuk keperluan game. Dalam sebuah game bertipe racing atau open world seperti Need For Speed, Grand Theft Auto, Watch Dog dan sejenisnya, simulasi kendaraan NPC diperlukan untuk menghasilkan kesan realistis. Dalam membuat alogaritma gerakan kendaraan NPC pada umumnya digunakan metode pathfinding dan metode waypoint. Alternatif yang dapat digunakan adalah metode trigger detection, yaitu dengan menempatkan sejumlah sensor di sekeliling kendaraan. Selanjutnya sensor akan mendeteksi tumbukan antara sensor dengan objek yang berada di lingkungan virtual dalam game. Hasil dari tumbukan tersebut diolah lebih lanjut melalui proses posisi, deteksi, reaksi dan negosiasi agar menghasilkan gerakan yang dinamis. Metode ini selanjutnya diujicoba untuk mengetahui keefektifannya.

Penelitian ini merupakan sebuah analisis deskriptif yang menggunakan pendekatan sosiologi dan antropologi untuk membedah tentang eksistensi kesenian masyarakat transmigran berupa kesenian kuda kepang di Kabupaten Pringsewu Lampung. Kesenian kuda kepang yang eksis di Kabupaten Pringsewu yaitu komunitas seni Turonggo Mudo Putro Wijoyo (TMPW).Eksistensi adalah adanya sebuah keberadaan yang tidak hanya sebagai sesuatu yang “diam” akan tetapi menjadi sesuatu yang aktif dan memiliki peran di dalam lingkungannya. Melalui kajian sinkronik, kesenian kuda kepang TMPW tetap eksis saat ini karena memiliki fungsi sebagai seni pertunjukan yang menghibur (presentasi estetis), memuat nilai-nilai budaya, serta dapat menjadi identitas orang Jawa di Pringsewu. Kajian sinkronik didukung oleh kajian diakronik, yaitu kemunculan kesenian kuda kepang TMPW merupakan hasil dari rangkaian sejarah berupa eksistensi orang-orang yang bertransmigrasi di Pringsewu, melalui tahap eksistensi yaitu eksistensi estetis, etis dan religius.Eksistensi kesenian kuda kepang TMPW tidak lepas dari faktor-faktor pendukungnya. Komunitas TMPW terus menunjukkan eksistensinya dengan melakukan inovasi pada segala aspek-aspek penunjang koreografi dengan menjaga otentisitas agar tidak hilang dan menjadi ciri khas. Sebuah seni pertunjukan bersifat stimulus bagi masyarakat tentu mendapatkan respons, berupa respons positif dan respons negative.   This research is a descriptive analysis using sociology approach to analysed about art existence of transmigrant society, that is kuda kepang in Pringsewu Regency of Lampung. Kuda kepang that exist in Pringsewu is Turonggo Mudo Putro Wijoyo (TMPW) community.Existence is the existence is not only as something "silent" but becomes something active and has a role in the environment.

Sebaga senitradisi istana, Wayang wong selalu dibangun dan disempurnakan sesuai dengan para sultan yang berkuasa.Puncak perkembangan Wayang wong terjadi pada masa kekuasaan Hamengku Buwana VIII, dan masa inisebagai zaman ke-emasan Wayang wong.Wayang wong dapat hidup di luar istana Kasultanan Ngayogyakarta pada saat menjelang akhir masakekuasaan Hamengku Buwana VII sekitar tahun 1918. Atas ijin Hamengku Buwana VII dibentuklahorganisasi seni tari pertama Kridha Beksa Wirama yang diprakarsai oleh kerabat istana. Disusul selanjutnyaorganisasi-organisasi lain yang tetap mengelola Wayang wong. Selain itu muncul pula bentuk wayang wong yang dilakukan oleh para dalang dan berada di wilayah pedesaan. Berkat para dalang sebagai hamba sultan, dan sering melihat pentas Wayang wong istana, bentuk Wayang wong yang dimilikinya mungkin merupakan hasil serapan Wayang wong istana.Wayang wong yang hidup di istana maupun yang berada di luar istana dan bahkan yang berada di pedesaan merupakan bukti perkembangannya. Perbedaan wilayah kehidupan dan perbedaan masyarakat pengelolanya, kemungkinan melahirkan ciri dan bentuk Wayang wong yang berbeda pula.Kata kunci: Wayang wong, Sultan, masyarakat, perkembangan.
