Public sector wage reforms in the light of equity principles
Authors: Tachie Benjamin Yaw , Potakey Harriet M. D.
Published: November 2021

Since 1967 seven committees and commissions have been set up to review disparities, distortions

and anomalies inherent in the pay policy and wages in the public sector in Ghana. The introduction of the Single Spine Pay Policy in the year 2010 was meant to address these anomalies but has been bedevilled with several unrests at the labour front. This has manifested itself in various ways such as strike actions, protests, petitions, legal actions, and appeals to the Labour Commission and other stakeholders. Several attempts at resolving these agitations since independence have not yielded the expected outcome which would have led to a more stable labour front. The literature on the various pay reforms in Ghana has not addressed the equity issues inherent in them. The aim of this article therefore, is to review the pay policies, in the light of equity principles and propose solutions to minimise the labour unrest associated with public sector wage reforms. The article uses Adams Equity theory of motivation to explain the frequency of labour unrest in Ghana and proposes the application of the tenets of equity theory as a solution. We use documentary analysis to examine the various reforms and propose a theoretical approach to resolve the canker within and among the labour groups. We conclude this article by arguing that the frequent labour unrest within the public service in Ghana is mainly as a result of perceived inequity in the implementations of the public sector wage reforms.
Holograms/Holographic Projections : Ghosts Amongst the Living; Ghosts of the Living
Authors: Ng Jenna
Published: November 2021

This chapter explicates holographic projections as the second instantiation
of post-screen media. Often mistaken as holograms, these projections of
images ranging from Tupac to Julian Assange to holographic protests redraw
the boundaries between life and death, and enable a re-imagination
of ghosts, deadness, aliveness and afterlife. The chapter argues for four
different moments in a history of ghosts in the media: resurrection;
necrophilia; necromancy; and interactivity. The last facilitates spectral
life in the post-screen through considering holographic projections of both
dead and living figures. In relation to the dead, the post-screen becomes a
space in limbo between deadness and aliveness; in relation to the living,
the realness of the holographic body stretches in a tetravalence across
dual axes of actual/virtual and here/elsewhere, and enlivened in what I
call vivification. In these 3D displays on the post-screen of resurrected and
vivified bodies, different kinds of life, afterlife and after-death emerge.
The Epistolary Vittoria
Authors: Sapegno Maria Serena
Published: November 2021

To fully understand the importance of epistolary exchange and epistolarity
in Vittoria Colonna’s thought and writings, it is necessary to go beyond the
conventional categories handed down to us by the critical tradition. Within
the limits of what may be achieved in the absence of a complete critical
edition, we need both to examine the complex networks of relationships
within which Colonna moved in her lifetime, and also to investigate the
profound connections between her poetic compositions, her epistolary
writing and her religious reflections, all pervaded by a similar dialogic
impulse.
‘A More Loving and Constant Heart’ : Vittoria Colonna, Alfonso d’Avalos, Michelangelo and the Complicated History of Pontormo’s Noli me tangere
Authors: Geronimus Dennis
Published: November 2021

Designed by Michelangelo, painted by Pontormo, and reproduced by other
masters, the Noli me tangere (c. 1531–32) and its subsequent copies were
the product of a chain of mediations on the part of painters, patrons and
their proxies. The original recipient of the intensely dramatic composition,
commissioned through an intermediary, was Vittoria Colonna. At the
heart of this study is a discussion of the emotionally engaging—and
profoundly unorthodox—ways in which Michelangelo and Pontormo
envisage the tension of the moment of witness between the risen Christ
and the Magdalene. The chapter also examines Colonna’s own spiritual
and poetic relationship with the figure of Mary Magdalene, and that of
other women in her circle.
‘I Take Thee’: Vittoria Colonna, Conjugal Verse and Male poeti colonnesi
Authors: McHugh Shannon
Published: November 2021

It is widely known that Vittoria Colonna influenced female love lyricists,
as well as spiritual Petrarchists of both genders. Generally unrecognized is
the impact her amorous verse had on male love poets. This chapter traces
Colonna’s impact via the Petrarchan sub-tradition of ‘conjugal verse’,
or poetry for one’s spouse: first on Pietro Bembo; then on Neapolitan
widowers in her cultural sphere (Bernardo Tasso, Berardino Rota); and
down through a line of husband poets stretching to the early years of the
seventeenth century. An examination of this verse lineage expands our
understanding of the full extent of Colonna’s authority—and, accordingly,
that of Italian women writers more broadly, rarely seen as innovators in
Renaissance literary movements.
‘She Showed the World a Beacon of Female Worth’ : Vittoria Colonna in Arcadia
Authors: Crivelli Tatiana
Published: November 2021

The Accademia dell’Arcadia (founded 1690) deserves to play a leading role in
any account of Vittoria Colonna’s posthumous influence. The author of the
first ‘critical’ edition of Colonna’s verse, Ercole Visconti, was an Arcadian, as
was Giovan Maria Crescimbeni, who presented Colonna’s work in his Istoria
della volgar poesia as an ‘inexhaustible mine of the finest gold’. The many
female poets of the Academy also recognised and paid tribute to Colonna’s
inspiration. This chapter investigates Colonna’s role as literary model within
the Academy, covering all the key phases, from the early eighteenth to the
nineteenth century, and examining the ways in which gender inflected the
practices and stylistic ideals of this powerful cultural institution.
Introduction
Authors: Weesjes Elke
Published: November 2021

Growing Up Communist in the Netherlands and Britain offers a comparative
analysis of the Dutch and British communist movements in the twentieth
century and interrogates how far Moscow and/or indigenous social,
political, economic and cultural factors influenced the experiences of
communist parties and their members. Informed by oral history and
memory studies, it draws on a series of interviews with 38 British and
Dutch cradle communists, auto/biographies, archival materials, and
existing historiography of both movements. Chapter One discusses the
oral history project this book is based on, examines the variables that
influence participants’ experiences, discusses similarities between the
two communist movements as well as national peculiarities, and briefly
surveys the different trends that can be observed within communist
historiography in both countries.
Out of the Shadows
Authors: Weesjes Elke
Published: November 2021

This chapter examines and compares the social and political history of
the communist youth movement in Britain and the Netherlands between
1957 and 1968. It looks primarily at the histories of the British Young Communist
League (YCL) and its Dutch equivalent, the Algemeen Nederlands
Jeugdverbond (ANJV; ‘General Dutch Youth League’). The chapter details
these organisations’ changing relationship with their respective communist
parties as the Cold War began to thaw, and their quest for their own
identity. It explores members’ successful and not-so-successful attempts
to collaborate with non-communist radical youth on important political
issues, such as nuclear disarmament, student rights, and the Vietnam War,
in a bid to break through their social and political isolation.
Fragmentation and Demise
Authors: Weesjes Elke
Published: November 2021

This chapter examines and compares the social and political history of the
communist youth movement in Britain and the Netherlands between 1969
and 1991. It looks primarily at the histories of the British Young Communist
League (YCL) and its Dutch equivalent, the Algemeen Nederlands Jeugdverbond
(ANJV; ‘General Dutch Youth League’). It explores these organisations’
roles in the feminist, anti-racist, and gay rights movements in the final two
decades of their existence, and details their changing relationship with their
respective communist parties as the Cold War came to an end.
From Heroes to Villains
Authors: Weesjes Elke
Published: November 2021

Informed by oral history and memory studies, this chapter draws on a
series of interviews with 38 British and Dutch cradle communists and
is dedicated to the impact of the Second World War and its aftermath,
and the events of 1956 – the year of Khrushchev’s secret speech and the
Soviet invasion of Hungary – on the Dutch and British communist movements.
This chapter particularly examines how cradle communists in the
Netherlands and Britain experienced the contrast between the communist
movement’s zenith during the Second World War and its nadir in 1956.
Within this context, it discusses the Dutch communist resistance during
the German occupation, parental war trauma and transgenerational
communication, and the impact of anti-communist measures in Britain
and the Netherlands on participants’ lives.
Public Spheres
Authors: Weesjes Elke
Published: November 2021

Dutch and British communist families were connected with the outside
world in many ways. They encountered non-communists at work, in school,
in their neighbourhood, and through friends and extended family. Because
the Dutch and British communist parties were so small, rank-and-file
communists couldn’t live in a self-sufficient bubble and had to interact and
get along with people who did not agree with their political ideas. Based on
a series of interviews with 38 British and Dutch cradle communists who
participated in an oral history project about communist family life, this
chapter analyses the issues that arose in the context of these interactions.
It discusses participants’ experiences in non-communist surroundings,
such as their neighbourhood, school, and workplace, and explores their
friendships and romantic relationships.
The perception and conflict between fantasy and reality: fantasy as a technique in the prominent novels of Anita Desai
Authors: Parashar Archana
Published: November 2021

The fantasy genre is not uniform, but has rather developed distinct varieties over time as authors have innovated on and responded to the traditions established by previous works. Fantasy is a work that evokes a sense of wonder in the reader; that has some relationship with traditional tales, myths and legends: that evokes the belief that is presented as real, not a dream, vision, or possible hallucination and that usually takes place in a secondary world with the inner consistency of reality. This paper focuses on the perception between fantasy and reality in the prominent fiction of Anita Desai. As a genre, fantasy seeks to validate the unconscious world of dreams, to insist not merely on its existence in the human psyche, but on its essential, vital presence.
Funki - Q.U.T â€“ Exploring Chromaticism through Composition
Authors: Baxter Ian Stephen
Published: November 2021

Composers have expressed and explored their musical territory by reusing and reshaping musical materials within a tonal context. This paper discusses music composition with interesting manipulations of the melody and harmony, as embodied in the â€œChromatic scaleâ€ system. By using the chromatic scale system, the FUNKI Q.U.T composition is to be explored. The outcome of this exploratory composition gave a new perspective on the art of composing. The melodic construction is made simple to show how chromatic approaches is applied without creating too much dissonant with other melodic stream played by the other instruments. In conclusion, the potential of creating new musical work with chromaticism by present composers has not been delved into seriously in the past decades.
NILAI PENDIDIKAN DALAM TALAALA DUSUN TINDAL
Authors: Kiting Rosliah , Kinsom Jemir , Benedick Ewon
Published: November 2021

Dusun Tindal merupakan etnik majoriti yang menduduki daerah Kota Belud, Sabah. Etnik ini terkenal dengan puisi yang disebut talaala. Puisi ini menyerupai pantun masyarakat Melayu sebagai khazanah sejak dahulukala. Sehingga kini, puisi talaala masih disebarkan secara lisan dan kajian tentangnya masih terbatas. Kajian awal terhadap puisi ini memaparkan nilai-nilai murni, iaitu persamaan dengan puisi Hsi Shing dalam masyarakat Cina atau Leka Main dalam masyarakat Iban yang kaya dengan nilai-nilai pendidikan. Justeru, kertas kerja ini akan menganalisis nilai pendidikan yang diterapkan dalam rangkap talaala Dusun Tindal. Data-data kajian diperoleh daripada temu bual dengan informan di lapangan. Analisis kajian mendapati talaala sarat dengan nilai pendidikan, terutamanya dorongan berkelakuan baik, kerajinan, hormat-menghormati dan memupuk kesedaran betapa pentingnya memiliki ilmu demi kelangsungan hidup. Penerapan nilai pendidikan secara tersirat dalam talaala menggambarkan kesantunan berbahasa dalam etnik Dusun Tindal, sekali gus mencerminkan ketinggian peradaban dan martabat mereka. Tradisi lisan talaala perlu dilestarikan demi memastikan nilai-nilai murni diterapkan dalam kalangan generasi muda.
 
Dusun Tindal is the majority ethnic group in Kota Belud., Sabah. This ethnic group is known for its talaala poetry. The poem resembles cultural traditions as ancient treasures. Hardly, talaala poetry circulated orally and related research is limited. Preliminary studies of this poem feature noble values, notably similarities with Chinese society’s Hsi Shing poetry, or Iban society’s Leka Main rich in educational values. This paper will analyse the value of education in the Dusun Tindal tunnel. Data were obtained from field informant interviews. Analysis showed talaala loaded with the value of education, particularly encouraging good behaviour, diligence, respect and knowledge of the purpose of understanding the nature of life. Implicit application of educational values in talaala reflects language politeness in the Dusun Tindal ethnic group, reflecting the altitude of their civilization and dignity. To ensure pure principles are enforced among the younger generation, talaala’s oral heritage must be preserved.
SISTEM BI’NATTANG ETNIK KIMARAGANG DI SABAH: SATU TINJAUAN SUSUN LAPIS SOSIAL PADA ZAMAN SILAM
Authors: Pangayan Victor B. , Shafii A.S. Hardy
Published: November 2021

Sistem Bi’nattang merupakan satu sistem sosial etnik Kimaragang. Etnik ini banyak menetap di daerah Kota Marudu dan sebahagian kecil lagi di daerah Pitas. Sistem Bi’nattang telah dipraktikkan oleh etnik Kimaragang pada tahun 1840–1845, iaitu sebelum kedatangan British di Borneo Utara. Kertas kerja ini akan membincangkan bentuk dan struktur sistem Bi’nattang dari segi susun lapis sosial, sistem kepimpinan, sistem kekeluargaan dan hubungan jantina yang diamalkan dalam sistem ini. Sehubungan itu, satu analisis ke atas struktur sistem Bi’nattang dibuat dengan mengupas susun lapis sosial, sistem kepimpinan, sistem kekeluargaan dan hubungan jantina dalam sistem Bi’nattang. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa sistem Bi’nattang terbentuk berdasarkan norma, kepercayaan dan nilai yang diamalkan dalam kehidupan etnik Kimaragang (Bernardi, Gonzales & Requena, 2006). Pada masa kini, sistem Bi’nattang tidak lagi diamalkan oleh etnik Kimaragang namun, sebahagian adat dan undang-undangnya masih diteruskan. Kajian ini penting bagi memahami sistem pentadbiran tradisional etnik Kimaragang iaitu sistem Bi’nattang.
 
The Bi’nattang System is a Kimaragang ethnic social system. This ethnic largely located in Kota Marudu District and a small part of Pitas District. The Bi’nattang system was practiced by the Kimaragang ethnic groups in 1840–1845, before the advent of the colonial powers in North Borneo. This paper will discuss the shape and structure of the Bi’nattang system in terms of social structure, leadership systems, family systems and gender relations practiced within the system. The results show that the Bi’nattang system is based on the norms, beliefs and values practiced by the Kimaragang ethnic groups in their lives (Bernardi, Gonzales & Requena, 2006). To date, the Bi’nattang system is no longer practiced by the Kimaragang ethnic group, but some of its custom and laws are still practiced. This study is important for understanding the traditional organizational system of the Kimaragang ethnic group, the Bi’nattang system.

Strengthening of reinforced concrete beam-column joints to increase seismic resistance.
Authors: Hayatrouhi Mahdi
Published: November 2021

The categorized literature review of retrofitting and strengthening methods of reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column joints clarified that non-disruptiveness; practical implementation, ductility and perseverance of lateral resistance as well as economical issues still remain the most challenging aspects of seismically retrofitting the vulnerable existing RC beam-column joints. Current research attempted to observe the seismic design principals of RC frame structures in seismic retrofitting of the vulnerable frames as a strategy of retrofitting based on the capacity design concept. Accordingly, the beam sidesway mechanism was redefined for seismic retrofitting by relocating the beam plastic hinges far enough away from the joints. Consequently, with introducing innovative energy dissipation devices such as Multi Functional Corbels (HMFC) and Harmonica Damper Plates (HHDP), the innovative Retrofitting Techniques 1 and 2 (RT1 and RT2) were proposed. The introduced devices of HMFC and HHDP as a passive energy dissipation system absorb energy through inelastic deformations. The proposed RT1 and RT2 were experimentally evaluated through a series of 3/4-scale beam-column joint specimens under an extremely severe loading history. The excellent performance of retrofitted specimens through the experimental study confirmed that the proposed retrofitting techniques (RT1 and RT2) are able to retain structural integrity with the minimum strength and stiffness degradation. As intended, the energy dissipation capacity was dramatically increased and beam sidesway mechanism was actually formed. Furthermore, a series of non-linear finite element analysis using ATENA was carried out on all reference and retrofitted specimens. The FEM models were validated with experimental outcomes. Subsequently, the validated models were utilized to develop a new simplified method for upgrading based on the advantages of RT1 and RT2. In the new proposed innovative Retrofitting Technique 3 (RT3), HHDP was replaced by Frictional-Bending Damper Plate (HFBDP) which dissipates energy based on friction and bending. The effectiveness and reliability of the proposed RT3 was investigated through a numerical analysis. As confirmed through experimental and numerical investigation, all acceptance criteria of ACI Committee 374 [ACI 374.1-05] were effectively satisfied by the proposed retrofitting techniques.

Mauerwerksinstandsetzung mit Spiralankern.
Authors: Meichsner Heinz , Jahn Thomas
Published: November 2021

Bei der Sanierung alter Bausubstanz gehört die Ertüchtigung des Mauerwerks zu den anspruchsvollsten Aufgaben. Mauerwerksrisse können das Erscheinungsbild beeinträchtigen und Probleme hinsichtlich des Wärme-, Feuchte- und Schallschutzes verursachen. Während Rissbildungen aus Belastung, Setzungen und Verformungen in der Regel nach einigen Jahren abgeklungen sind und dann gefüllt werden können, öffnen und schließen sich z.B. temperaturbedingte Risse während der gesamten Lebensdauer eines Bauwerks.

Zur Instandsetzung von gerissenem Mauerwerk werden heute häufig Spiralanker aus nicht rostendem Stahl verwendet. Ihr Einsatz ist bisher nicht in Normen geregelt und wird nach konstruktiven Gesichtspunkten und praktischen Erfahrungen ausgeführt. In diesem Buch wird erstmalig eine systematische Bemessungsmethodik für den Einsatz von Spiralankern als rissbreitenbeschränkende Mauerwerksbewehrung vorgestellt. Anhand der mechanischen Grundlagen wird ein Bemessungsverfahren abgeleitet und in Beispielrechnungen erläutert.

Für die praktische Handhabung werden Zahlenwerte aus Versuchen und aus der Literatur zusammengestellt, die für die Bemessung der Spiralanker unabdingbar sind. Zahlreiche konstruktive Hinweise, angefangen bei der Mauerwerksschwächung durch das Schlitzen bis hin zur Verlegeart der Spiralanker bei Einzel- oder Gruppenrissen, machen das Buch zu einem praxisorientierten Werkzeug bei der Instandsetzung älterer und neuerer Gebäude.

»Volkovi in hijene«
Authors: Čuček Filip
Published: November 2021

V prispevku avtor analizira prevratno dobo na Spodnjem Štajerskem (predvsem na »ogroženih« območjih) skozi prizmo primerov obračuna s spodnještajerskim nemštvom. Nemci so bili z nastankom nove države prestrašeni, odpuščanja številnih nemških javnih uslužbencev so bila tako rekoč na dnevnem redu, na drugi strani pa je slovenska stran evforično krenila v nove čase. Dogodki, ki so sledili, so širili sovraštvo do nemštva (in tudi strah pred njimi), med Nemci pa večali občutek ogroženosti. V »bran« spodnještajerskemu nemštvu se je najbolj ognjevito postavil graški vsenemški časnik Grazer Tagblatt, ki je nato vseskozi (dve desetletji) zagovarjal parolo, da je potrebno Spodnjo Štajersko priključiti nazaj k nemštvu (kar se je na koncu dejansko tudi zgodilo).
Agrikulturna modernizacija in življenjski svet podjetnih polkmetov
Authors: Sitar Polona
Published: November 2021

Pričujoč članek proučuje značilnosti ekonomske zgodovine slovenskega podeželja v socialistični Sloveniji skozi perspektivo sprememb, ki jih nakup modernih agrarnih tehnoloških naprav prinese v kmečka gospodinjstva. Temelji na konceptu integrirane kmečke ekonomije, ki pojasnjuje, da so se kmečka gospodinjstva preživljala s kombiniranjem samooskrbnega kmetijstva in tržno usmerjenih dejavnosti in pod drobnogled vzame kmečke družine polkmetov (t.i. polproletarcev). Prispevek izpostavi pomen agrikulturne modernizacije, ki je pomembno določala razvoj kmetijstva s posodabljanjem tehnik pridelave in uvajanjem kmetijske mehanizacije. Prinaša spoznanja o tem, kdo v družini je vnašal novosti na kmetijo in kako je proces mehanizacije kmetij vplival na družbeno razslojevanje ter generacijske diskontinuitete znotraj posamezne kmečke gospodarske enote. Z uporabo pristopa ustne zgodovine članek ne želi rekonstruirati socialistične preteklosti in je kronološko zapisati, ampak skuša prikazati drugačno perspektivo, ki temelji na izkušnjah (pol)kmetov in njihovih vsakdanjih praksah ter tako prispevati dodaten diskurz k že obstoječemu političnemu in ekonomskemu uradnemu zgodovinskemu diskurzu.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a mortalidade feminina por agressão no estado do Maranhão, bem como a tendência deste perfil após a vigência da Lei do Feminicídio, Lei 13.104/2015, no período de 2012 a 2018. A base de dados secundários foi o Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade – SIM, e Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde – DATASUS. As variáveis relacionadas ao perfil da vítima foram idade (>10,< 60); cor da pele (branca, preta, amarela, parda, indígena); causa do óbito; local (hospital ou outro estabelecimento de saúde, domicílio, via pública, outros); Também foram considerados dados socioeconômicos, estado civil, escolaridade, ocupação. Quanto à análise descritiva dos dados, o teste qui-quadrado foi utilizado para comparar o total de casos notificados comparando-os antes e após a implementação da Lei nº 13.104/2015. Quanto à análise da associação das variáveis do estudo, foi aplicado o teste exato de Ficher. As informações obtidas irão fomentar plano de ação para combate a violência contra mulher e ao feminicídio. Os resultados demonstram que neste estado (Maranhão), a maior porcentagem de óbitos foi em mulheres com idades entre 20 e 39 anos (60,2% das mortes no período), que as principais vítimas foram mulheres de cor parda (72,3%) e solteiras (65,5%), o que sugestiona relação com situações de violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher.

Abstract. At the leaf level, stomata control the exchange of water and carbon across the air–leaf interface. Stomatal conductance is typically modeled
empirically, based on environmental conditions at the leaf surface. Recently developed stomatal optimization models show great skills at predicting
carbon and water fluxes at both the leaf and tree levels. However, how well the optimization models perform at
larger scales has not been extensively evaluated. Furthermore, stomatal models are often used with simple single-leaf representations of canopy radiative transfer (RT), such as
big-leaf models. Nevertheless, the single-leaf canopy RT schemes do not have the capability to model optical properties of the leaves nor the entire
canopy. As a result, they are unable to directly link canopy optical properties with light distribution within the canopy to remote sensing data
observed from afar. Here, we incorporated one optimization-based and two empirical stomatal models with a comprehensive RT model in the land
component of a new Earth system model within CliMA, the Climate Modelling Alliance. The model allowed us to simultaneously simulate carbon and water
fluxes as well as leaf and canopy reflectance and fluorescence spectra. We tested our model by comparing our modeled carbon and water fluxes and
solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) to two flux tower observations (a gymnosperm forest and an angiosperm forest) and satellite SIF
retrievals, respectively. All three stomatal models quantitatively predicted the carbon and water fluxes for both forests. The optimization model,
in particular, showed increased skill in predicting the water flux given the lower error (ca. 14.2 % and 21.8 % improvement for the
gymnosperm and angiosperm forests, respectively) and better 1:1 comparison (slope increases from ca. 0.34 to 0.91 for the gymnosperm forest and
from ca. 0.38 to 0.62 for the angiosperm forest). Our model also predicted the SIF yield, quantitatively reproducing seasonal cycles for both
forests. We found that using stomatal optimization with a comprehensive RT model showed high accuracy in simulating land surface processes. The
ever-increasing number of regional and global datasets of terrestrial plants, such as leaf area index and chlorophyll contents, will help
parameterize the land model and improve future Earth system modeling in general.

Objective: To evaluate the immunohistochemical expression and scoring of HER2/neu in different variants of adenocarcinoma of prostate and to compared the association of HER2/neu expression with biological behavior and risk factors of prostate adenocarcinoma. Study Design and Setting: Cross sectional study in which all clinically suspected prostate adenocarcinoma cases received at the laboratory Saddar Karachi during the years 2015 and 2016 were evaluated for morphological features of adenocarcinoma. Methodology: This cross sectional study was carried out using prostate biopsies of clinically suspected prostate adenocarcinoma. The diagnosis of adenocarcinoma was confirmed and histological characterization was done by evaluating the morphological features. The tumors were graded according to the revised 2015 Gleason’s grouping. Immunohistochemical analysis for HER2/neu expression was performed in the most representative tumor block. SPSS version 22 was used for data analysis. Mean frequency and percentages were calculated for quantitative variables, whereas chi-square test and Fisher’s Exact Test were applied for qualitative variables. P-value of < 0.05 was considered as significant. Results: Out of 77 biopsies only one showed moderate HER2/neu expression. Positive HER2/neu was acinar variant. No significant statistical association was observed between expression of HER2/neu and prostate cancer variants. The positive case had age more than 60 years with moderately increased serum PSA levels and was aggressive in nature at the time of diagnosis. Conclusion: It was concluded from the study that HER2/neu was rarely expressed in prostate adenocarcinoma

Probiotics are essential in human physiology. They play a vital role in providing immunity, producing Vitamin K, relieving lactose intolerance and shortening diarrhea. Besides; it promises the management of Atopy and other incurable conditions. Not only for humans but probiotics are also beneficial for other species including marine and cattle due to the Ecophysiological responses. Unfortunately, probiotics are much neglected by the wide use of antibiotics and other drugs which not only disturbs but kills them completely. As a result; an individual is more vulnerable to a wide range of critical conditions that could have been avoided otherwise. These potential benefits of probiotics require much attention of the healthy consumer while in the main market for over the counter remedies. To prove these effects in treating and preventing particular diseases and increase the acceptance of probiotics by the general population more clinical studies should be conducted in this area

Sleep constitutes one-third of our life and a good sleep affects the physical, mental and behavioral aspects of an individual. Disturbance in the normal biological rhythm of an individual can disrupt one’s performance. Sleep disorders are many but the type that could take one’s life is obstructive sleep apnea. Therefore it is important to know the anatomy of involved structures that are responsible for the pathophysiology of the above-mentioned condition. Obstructive sleep apnea-OSA is evolving as a worldwide health epidemic and is confronting an increasing prevalence especially due to the obesity pandemic. Though extensive global prevalence facts and figures are still missing, and worldwide OSA research in standings of activity, value, and socio-economic features has not yet been revealed. Ultrasound of palatine tonsil is an emerging and novel technique, as it is noninvasive and safest modality that can be used to determine severity of OSA. High frequency ultrasound is an impeccable diagnostic tool for assessment of tonsils in children and adults. It is cost effective, portable, noninvasive, painless, quick and easily accessible as compare to CT and MRI imaging
