Inflection Point of Green Total Factor Productivity by Low-Carbon Regulation from Chinese Economics Recovery
Authors: Ding Youqiang , Hu Yufeng
Published: November 2021

The sustainable growth path of emerging economies has transformed from the traditional extensive model to high-quality development. Due to the impulse force of low-carbon regulation, the measurement of input–output efficiency changed into green total factor productivity (GTFP) which considers environmental factors. Past research on GTFP focused on enterprise investments to promote green innovation for their resource allocation efficiency, but green investments are often limited from marketization that is interactively influenced by low-carbon regulation. Therefore, handing green investment to mitigate carbon dioxide emissions for green economics recovery is a big challenge. Then these hypotheses are tested by the main study of 170 cities in China. Results suggested that GTFP has an inverted S-shaped curve with three inflection points and four development stages under the influence of low-carbon regulation. It means that improving green productivity is costly toward making green investments without the driving of green innovation. However, the inflection point of the growth curve—when enterprise investment activities ignore the interaction between low-carbon regulation and green investment policy—will come slowly to a period of high-quality development. Moderating results suggested that the green productivity would be weakened and the inflection point would be delayed by the low-carbon marketization index if the low-carbon regulation intensity was neglected. Therefore, this research advanced an effectively co-ordinate growth curve to search for the inflection point of green economics recovery.
Partial Covering of a Circle by 6 and 7 Congruent Circles
Authors: Gáspár Zsolt , Tarnai Tibor , Hincz Krisztián
Published: November 2021

Background: Some medical and technological tasks lead to the geometrical problem of how to cover the unit circle as much as possible by n congruent circles of given radius r, while r varies from the radius in the maximum packing to the radius in the minimum covering. Proven or conjectural solutions to this partial covering problem are known only for n = 2 to 5. In the present paper, numerical solutions are given to this problem for n = 6 and 7. Method: The method used transforms the geometrical problem to a mechanical one, where the solution to the geometrical problem is obtained by finding the self-stress positions of a generalised tensegrity structure. This method was developed by the authors and was published in an earlier publication. Results: The method applied results in locally optimal circle arrangements. The numerical data for the special circle arrangements are presented in a tabular form, and in drawings of the arrangements. Conclusion: It was found that the case of n = 6 is very complicated, whilst the case n = 7 is very simple. It is shown in this paper that locally optimal arrangements may exhibit different types of symmetry, and equilibrium paths may bifurcate.

Authors: Li Furong , Wang Duan
Published: November 2021

With the development of mobile network technology, the continuous increase of mobile traffic has put forward higher requirements for quality of service (QoS) issues such as asymmetric transmission delay. The paper mainly studies the energy distribution problem on the migration data link from the terminal device to the edge node in the mobile edge network. Multiple data service packages are set up at each hop on the migration data link, and these data service packages compete with each other, and ultimately only one terminal provides and stores energy for this hop. The migration strategy of the data service package is affected by the edge node, and the edge node changes the migration strategy according to the migration strategy of the data service package. The paper is based on the formation of nodes between the data service packages of different nodes on the 5G network data link to jointly control the migration strategy, coordinate the migration strategy formulated, and better coordinate the migration strategy. In this competitive game model, the optimal migration strategy of nodes is found out according to the terminal equipment access requirements. Then according to the node stability rules, the composition of nodes when the nodes are stable is obtained, the migration strategy of stable nodes and the migration and spectrum strategies of operators are obtained, and the migration strategy of joint control provides energy for edge nodes.

Staphylococcus aureus is a causative agent of bovine mastitis, capable of causing significant economic losses to the dairy industry worldwide. This study focuses on obtaining single-chain fragment variables (scFvs) against the virulence factors of S. aureus and evaluates the protective effect of scFvs on bovine mammary epithelial (MAC-T) cells and mice mammary gland tissues infected by S. aureus. After five rounds of bio-panning, four scFvs targeting four virulence factors of S. aureus were obtained. The complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) of these scFvs exhibited significant diversities, especially CDR3 of the VH domain. In vitro, each of scFvs was capable of inhibiting S. aureus growth and reducing the damage of MAC-T cells infected by S. aureus. Preincubation of MAC-T cells with scFvs could significantly attenuate the effect of apoptosis and necrosis compared with the negative control group. In vivo, the qPCR and ELISA results demonstrated that scFvs reduced the transcription and expression of Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, IL-8, and IL-18. Histopathology and myeloperoxidase (MPO) results showed that scFvs ameliorated the histopathological damages and reduced the inflammatory cells infiltration. The overall results demonstrated the positive anti-inflammatory effect of scFvs, revealing the potential role of scFvs in the prevention and treatment of S. aureus infections.

We aimed to estimate the prevalence and factors associated with parents’ non-intention to vaccinate their children and adolescents against COVID-19 in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). We performed a secondary analysis using a database generated by the University of Maryland and Facebook (Facebook, Inc., Menlo Park, CA, USA). We included adult (18 and over) Facebook users residing in LAC who responded to the survey between 20 May 2021 and 14 July 2021. We included sociodemographic characteristics, comorbidities, mental health, economic and food insecurity, compliance with mitigation strategies against COVID-19, and practices related to vaccination against this disease. We estimated the crude (cPR) and adjusted (aPR) prevalence ratios with their respective 95%CI. We analyzed a sample of 227,740 adults from 20 LAC countries. The prevalence of parents’ non-intention to vaccinate their children and adolescents against COVID-19 was 7.8% (n = 15,196). An age above 35 years old, educational level above college, compliance with physical distancing, use of masks, having economic insecurity, having had COVID-19, anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, having a chronic condition or two or more comorbidities, and being vaccinated were associated with a lower prevalence of non-intention to vaccinate children and adolescents against COVID-19. Living in a town, a village, or a rural area was associated with a higher prevalence of non-intention to vaccinate children and adolescents against COVID-19. Approximately nine out of ten parents in LAC intended to vaccinate their children and adolescents against COVID-19. Our results allow for understanding parents’ intentions to vaccinate children and adolescents and help promote and develop education strategies for national vaccination plans against COVID-19.

Published: November 2021

This study aims to gather knowledge about the use of deoxycorticosterone pivalate (DOCP) by Western European Veterinarians (WEV) in dogs with typical hypoadrenocorticism. An observational cross-sectional study was conducted using an online survey, translated into four languages and disseminated to veterinary affiliates and mailing lists in six countries of Western Continental Europe. Respondents were tasked to share their therapeutic approach to hypoadrenocorticism, whether they preferred DOCP or fludrocortisone and the specific practical use of DOCP. One-hundred and eighty-four responses were included. Of these, 79.9% indicated that they preferred prescribing DOCP over fludrocortisone as a first-line treatment for mineralocorticoid supplementation. A total of 154 respondents had used DOCP at least once. Eighty percent of those who reported their initial dosage prescribed 2.2 mg/kg. After starting DOCP, 68.2% of the respondents assess electrolytes 10 and 25 days after administration following manufacturer instructions. In stable dogs, electrolytes are monitored quarterly, monthly, semi-annually, and annually by 44.2%, 34.4%, 16.9%, and 4.6% of respondents respectively. When treatment adjustment is required, 53% prefer to reduce dosage while 47% increase the interval between doses. Overall, DOCP is the preferred mineralocorticoid supplementation among WEV. Reported variability underlies the need to investigate the best strategies for DOCP use and therapeutic adjustments.
Effect of Climate Variability Events over the Colombian Caribbean Offshore Wind Resource
Authors: Bastidas-Salamanca Martha , Rueda-Bayona Juan Gabriel
Published: November 2021

The need for reducing the CO2 emissions and fossil fuel dependence of several countries generated a growing interest for the Renewables. The Caribbean Sea is characterized by persistent and high magnitude winds, which suggest an important source of offshore wind energy. Recent studies reported that the Colombian Caribbean has a relevant opportunity for developing the offshore wind technology which could complement the energy production when the hydroelectric system is under low generation due to persistent dry conditions generated by El Niño events. The offshore wind energy may complement the energy offer of Colombia. Hence, understanding the impact of climate variability events in the Caribbean over the wind magnitude, contributes to the knowledge of the resource availability for a better planning of future offshore wind farms. In this sense, this study analyzed 39 years of Reanalysis wind data through a time series analysis of the Caribbean to identify the lowest wind speed velocities and when and why they occurred. The results showed that winds of the study area represented by the Caribbean Low level, showed the lowest wind speeds in the short, mid, and long term due to the influence of the seasons, El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO).

Cities are producers of high quantities of secondary liquid and solid streams that are still poorly utilized within urban systems. In order to tackle this issue, there has been an ever-growing push for more efficient resource management and waste prevention in urban areas, following the concept of a circular economy. This review paper provides a characterization of urban solid and liquid resource flows (including water, nutrients, metals, potential energy, and organics), which pass through selected nature-based solutions (NBS) and supporting units (SU), expanding on that characterization through the study of existing cases. In particular, this paper presents the currently implemented NBS units for resource recovery, the applicable solid and liquid urban waste streams and the SU dedicated to increasing the quality and minimizing hazards of specific streams at the source level (e.g., concentrated fertilizers, disinfected recovered products). The recovery efficiency of systems, where NBS and SU are combined, operated at a micro- or meso-scale and applied at technology readiness levels higher than 5, is reviewed. The importance of collection and transport infrastructure, treatment and recovery technology, and (urban) agricultural or urban green reuse on the quantity and quality of input and output materials are discussed, also regarding the current main circularity and application challenges.
Development and Assessment of a New Framework for Agricultural Nonpoint Source Pollution Control
Authors: Zhou Lili , Geng Runzhe
Published: November 2021

The transport of agricultural nonpoint source (NPS) pollutants in water pathways is affected by various factors such as precipitation, terrain, soil erosion, surface and subsurface flows, soil texture, land management, and vegetation coverage. In this study, based on the transmission mechanism of NPS pollutants, we constructed a five-factor model for predicting the path-through rate of NPS pollutants. The five indices of the hydrological processes, namely the precipitation index (α), terrain index (β), runoff index (TI), subsurface runoff index (LI), and buffer strip retention index (RI), are integrated with the pollution source data, including the rural living, livestock and farmland data, obtained from the national pollution source census. The proposed model was applied to the headwater of the Miyun Reservoir watershed for identifying the areas with high path-through rates of agricultural NPS pollutants. The results demonstrated the following. (1) The simulation accuracy of the model is acceptable in mesoscale watersheds. The total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) agriculture loads were determined as 705.11 t and 3.16 t in 2014, with the relative errors of the simulations being 19.62% and 24.45%, respectively. (2) From the spatial distribution of the agricultural NPS, the TN and TP resource loads were mainly distributed among the upstream of Dage and downstream of Taishitun, as well as the towns of Bakshiying and Gaoling. The major source of TN was found to be farmland, accounting for 47.6%, followed by livestock, accounting for 37.4%. However, the path-through rates of TP were different from those of TN; rural living was the main TP source (65%). (3) The path-through rates of agricultural NPS were the highest for the towns of Wudaoying, Dage, Tuchengzi, Anchungoumen, and Huodoushan, where the path-through rate of TN ranged from 0.17 to 0.26. As for TP, it was highest in Wudaoying, Kulongshan, Dage, and Tuchengzi, with values ranging from 0.012 to 0.019. (4) A comprehensive analysis of the distribution of the NPS pollution load and the path-through rate revealed the towns of Dage, Wudaoying, and Tuchengzi as the critical source areas of agricultural NPS pollutants. Therefore, these towns should be seriously considered for effective watershed management. In addition, compared with field monitoring, the export coefficient model, and the physical-based model, the proposed five-factor model, which is based on the path-through rate and the mechanism of agricultural NPS pollutant transfer, cannot only obtain the spatial distribution characteristics of the path-through rate on a field scale but also be applicable to large-scale watersheds for estimating the path-through rates of NPS pollutants.

Published: November 2021

The objective of this research is to introduce a novel framework to quantify the risk of the reservoir system outside the design envelope, taking into account the risks related to flood-protection and hydro-energy generation under unfavourable reservoir element conditions (system element failures) and hazardous situations within the environment (flood event). To analyze water system behavior in adverse conditions, a system analysis approach is used, which is founded upon the system dynamics model with a causal loop. The capability of the system in performing the intended functionality can be quantified using the traditional static measures like reliability, resilience and vulnerability, or dynamic resilience. In this paper, a novel method for the assessment of a multi-parameter dynamic resilience is introduced. The multi-parameter dynamic resilience envelops the hydropower and flood-protection resilience, as two opposing demands in the reservoir operation regime. A case study of a Pirot reservoir, in the Republic of Serbia, is used. To estimate the multi -parameter dynamic resilience of the Pirot reservoir system, a hydrological model, and a system dynamic simulation model with an inner control loop, is developed. The inner control loop provides the relation between the hydropower generation and flood-protection. The hydrological model is calibrated and generated climate inputs are used to simulate the long-term flow sequences. The most severe flood event period is extracted to be used as the input for the system dynamics simulations. The system performance for five different scenarios with various multi failure events (e.g., generator failure, segment gate failure on the spillway, leakage from reservoir and water supply tunnel failure due to earthquake) are presented using the novel concept of the explicit modeling of the component failures through element functionality indicators. Based on the outputs from the system dynamics model, system performance is determined and, later, hydropower and flood protection resilience. Then, multi-parameter dynamic resilience of the Pirot reservoir system is estimated and compared with the traditional static measures (reliability). Discrepancy between the drop between multi-parameter resilience (from 0.851 to 0.935) and reliability (from 0.993 to 1) shows that static measure underestimates the risk to the water system. Thus, the results from this research show that multi-parameter dynamic resilience, as an indicator, can provide additional insight compared to the traditional static measures, leading to identification of the vulnerable elements of a complex reservoir system. Additionally, it is shown that the proposed explicit modeling of system components failure can be used to reflect the drop of the overall system functionality.
Knowledge Management and Operational Capacity in Water Utilities, a Balance between Human Resources and Digital Maturity—The Case of AGS
Authors: Feliciano João Faria , Arsénio André Marques , Cassidy Joana , Santos Ana Rita , Ganhão Alice
Published: November 2021

Digitalization and knowledge management in the water sector, and their impacts on performance, greatly depend on two factors: human capacity and digital maturity. To understand the link between performance, human capacity, and digital maturity, six AGS water retail utilities were compared with all Portuguese utilities using Portuguese benchmark data (2011–2019). AGS utilities achieved better results, including in compound performance indicators, which are assumed to be surrogates for digital maturity. These compound indicators were also found to correlate positively with better performance. In fact, AGS utilities show levels of non-revenue water (NRW) (<25%) below the national median (30–40%), with network replacement values similar to the national median (<0.5%). These results seem to imply that higher digital maturity can offset relatively low network replacement levels and guarantee NRW levels below the national average. Furthermore, regarding personnel aging index and digital maturity—two internally developed indicators—there was an increase in the digital maturity and aging of the staff, which, again, raises questions about long-term sustainability. The growing performance and the slight increase in digital maturity can be attributed to group-wide capacity building and digitalization programs that bring together staff from all AGS utilities in year-long activities.

Published: November 2021

Due to their advantages of high power density and high efficiency, permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) are widely used in the field of electric vehicles (EVs). Vibration and noise are important indicators for evaluating the performance of PMSMs, and the skewed slot method is now widely used to mitigate the torque ripple and noise of motors. In the vector control strategy, the space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) method produces sideband voltage harmonics with a frequency near the switching frequency. These harmonics act on the magnetic field to generate an excitation force with a frequency near the switching frequency. This paper compares and analyzes the sideband harmonic current and the exciting force of a skewed slot motor and a straight slot motor during steady-state operation. The research results show that the skewed slot method can effectively mitigate the vibration and noise caused by sideband harmonics.

Abstract Government goods/services is never free from contracts. The contract is the basis of every action / achievement carried out both by the Government as the user of the goods / services and the Provider as the provider of the goods / services. In the process of running a contract is very prone to conflict / dispute between the parties. On average, contract conflicts up to contract disputes take place after the contract expires so that they can be carried out through courts or alternative dispute resolution institutions stipulated in the law. However, teh main point is this study is the contract conflict that has not been a contract dispute because the contract has not ended (the periode of contract execution) or the contract has not started (pre-contract). Can it be called a default if the contract has not been completed and there are parties who want to cancel the contract? Do the principles of goodfaith and balance apply to contracts where one of the parties is the government?Based on this, the following matters will be examined: 1) The principle of good faith in the government through contract repudiation to prevent breach of contract; 2) The principle of balance in the implementation of contract repudiation of government goods/service procurement. The research method used a normative juridical method with statutory and conceptual approaches. From the results of the study, it was concluded that in the case of the Government with the principle of good faith and proportional balance of contracts through Repudiation efforts trying to prevent harmful things such as defaults when the Government considers that the contract cannot be continued. The value of good faith as the most fundamental basis coupled with balance values in accordance with its portion or the so-called proportional principle must really be the most serious concern in making contracts not only to safeguard the rights and obligations of the parties but more importantly to achieve the purpose of the contract that is the fulfillment of government goods / services.  Keywords : Repudiation, governement, contract, good faith, proportional.

Authors: Xu Xuemeng , Shen Changpu , Li Feixiang , Wang Long , Li Yongxiang
Published: November 2021

The parameters of a wheat flour equal-pitch screw feeder are mainly based on empirical design. A method comparing the effect of the number of blocked zones on the feeding sections is proposed to complete the screw parameter of four feeding sections. According to the designed screw structure, Solid Works was used to build the three-dimensional model, and EDEM software was imported for discrete element analysis. It is found that the optimal solution is the screw design with two blocked zones, in which the cutting stock of the feeding sections is very uniform with high feeding accuracy on the premise of satisfying the screw feeding. In order to verify the rationality of the design of the screw structure, the screw was processed based on the optimal parameters, and the screw feeding device of the transparent outer cylinder was built with acrylic plate, and then the feeding stability of wheat flour was observed. The flow fluctuation of the designed screw is relatively small, and the feeding is more uniform, so the accuracy of the screw feed is higher. The experiment verifies the rationality of the variable pitch design and provides a reference for the design and development of wheat flour screw feeding device.
Trends in Mobile Journalism: Bearing Witness, Building Movements, and Crafting Counternarratives
Authors: Richardson Allissa V.
Published: November 2021

This field review examines how African American mobile journalism became a model for marginalized people’s political communication across the United States. The review explores how communication scholars’ theories about mobile journalism and media witnessing evolved since 2010 to include ethnocentric investigations of the genre. Additionally, it demonstrates how Black people’s use of the mobile device to document police brutality provided a brilliant, yet fraught, template for modern activism. Finally, it shows how Black mobile journalism created undeniable counternarratives that challenged the journalism industry in 2020 and presented scholars with a wealth of researchable questions. Taken together, the review complicates our understanding of Black mobile journalism as a great equalizer—pushing us to also consider what we lose when we lean too heavily on video testimony as a tool for political communication.
Forgotten shelters of Kłodzko Land. On architecture inspired by the local building tradition
Authors: Suchodolski Jacek
Published: November 2021

The article addresses the problem of the decline in the number of tourist facilities with outstanding features of regional architecture, built before 1945 in Kłodzko Land. Their destruction is an irreparable loss for the cultural heritage of the described region. Usually designed in the spirit of the local building tradition – born out of centuries of experience of the people living here – hostels, inns and taverns were a characteristic, regional distinguishing feature of the landscape of Kłodzko Land. Meanwhile, the new architecture of objects related to tourism, built after the end of the Second World War, most often does not refer to the characteristic forms and structures of local buildings. The article stresses the need to put an end to the often deliberate practice of destroying old pre-war buildings and to draw the attention of architects working today to the importance of continuing local, regional forms in the emerging tourist facilities.

Practical Solutions for Infectious Disease Private Practitioners: Action Plan for the Effective Management of an Extended Care Facility Outbreak
Authors: Harting Brian
Published: November 2021

Among the many hats an Infectious Disease physician wears, the role as expert in the management of infection prevention in extended care facilities (ECF) can be an incredibly valuable one. However, receiving a call about a potential infection outbreak during a busy day could spell potential disaster. Regardless of the type of infection, a disciplined management approach to an ECF outbreak will help reduce number new infections and associated complications. This will lead to fewer patient complications and will allow an ECF to continue to provide expected patient care services, including physical therapy, wound care and memory care. An action plan will efficiently focus all providers on the steps need to control an ECF outbreak. We have employed a standard action plan that a director of nursing can implement under the guidance of an Infectious Disease physician. It can be adjusted based on the type of infection or infestation affecting the ECF. The action plan assigns specific roles to stakeholders for management of the outbreak. These roles include responsibility of determining onset and end of the outbreak, collection and management of surveillance data and education of staff regarding specific symptomatology, isolation precautions and cleaning measures. This article will review seasonal and sporadic infection outbreaks. I will not discuss the developing practices for COVID-19 infection prevention in the ECF setting; however, as COVID-19 control practices becomes more available, one could use the action plan described below for future outbreaks.

EVALUATION OF CORD BLOOD CULTURE AS AN EARLY PREDICTOR FOR THE DETECTION OF EARLY ONSET NEONATAL SEPSIS IN TERTIARY CENTRE OF CENTRAL INDIA.
Authors: Shukla Gagandeep , Channa Urvashi
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND : Neonatal sepsis is one of the major causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality.
Peripheral venous blood culture and sensitivity is gold standard for the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis. Low
sensitivity of blood culture in newborn is due to small volume of blood sample collected from neonates & antibiotics given
before sampling.
AIM : To evaluate the utility & compare the Umblical cord blood culture(UCBC) with Peripheral venous blood culture(PVBC) for
detection of Early Onset Neonatal Sepsis(EONS)
METHOD : 100 inborn neonates with two or more risk factors for EONS, chosen by sequential sampling method were included in
this prospective analytical study. Blood samples were collected from umbilical cord and peripheral vein for culture. Sepsis
screen was done to corroborate the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis.
RESULT : Out of 100 neonates, 21 belongs to sepsis; 14 to probable sepsis; 65 to no sepsis. UCBC had Sensitivity-65.71% ,
Specicity-93.84%, PPV-85.18% , NPV-83.56% & PVBC had Sensitivity-60% , Specicity-95.38% , PPV-87.5% , NPV-81.57%.
CONCLUSION : UCBC is simple and convenient method for the diagnosis of EONS compared to PVBC. Organisms grown are
comparable to PVBC sample.

Published: November 2021

The purpose of this article is to report a quasi-experimental research on Arabic writing skills AWS for the
trainee teachers. The effect of complementary approach CA on achievements of AWS for grade one
Arabic as a Second Language students was investigated. The null hypothesis (Ho); there is no signicant difference at 0.05
between students' achievements in the experimental cluster and students' achievements in the control cluster when CA is used
to teach AWS was tested. The Randomized Solomon Four Group Design n=100 was used. Different statistical measures were
applied to analyze the data including averages, standard deviations, degrees of freedom and independent t-tests. The
ndings yielded the rejection of the null hypothesis (Ho) of no signicant difference between clusters' means when CA is used to
teach AWS for the sample in question at: 1-2 =19.04, t=5.223, df (48)=.000, α2, p <.05. The alternative hypothesis (Ha) was
accepted due to the following data abstractions: integrated reading and orthography: 1-2 =11.12, t=3.955, df (48)=.000, α2, p
<.05; integrated reading and essay writing: 1-2 =31.24, t=5.630, df (48)=.000, α2, p <.05; integrated listening and summary
writing: 1-2 =-6.461, t=-1.246, df (48)= .220, α2, p >.05 and integrated speaking and report writing: 1-2 =40.44, t=7.823, df
(48)=.000, α2, p <.05. Other than the CA strategy of integrated listening and summary writing which yielded insignicant
effects, the rest of the selected CA strategies positively inuenced AWS variables in question. These ndings can be interpreted
in a number of implications, including building integrative AWS curricula for the purpose of Arabic writing benchmarking and
standardization. They are also applicable in terms of predicting and controlling of relevant Arabic linguistic variables for
different research and practical purposes. The signicance of these ndings is also feasible with the contemporary scientic
call for the diversication of communication andragogy.

Published: November 2021

BackGround: Diabetes mellitus results in considerable morbidity and mortality, affecting about 180 million people
worldwide.The primary complications of diabetes due to damage in small blood vessels include damage to the eyes,
kidneys,and nerves.Damage to the eyes,known as diabetic retinopathy,is caused by damage to the blood vessels in the
retina of the eye,and can result in gradual vision loss and eventual blindness.Usually,a diabetic patient seeks the advice
of ophthalmologist only when the ocular condition is in the advance stage.It is therefore,essential to examine the fundus
and anterior segment of eye of every diabetic patient periodically at regular intervals,to detect early cases.This study
was done to analyze the relation of duration and glycaemic control of diabetes to ocular manifestations among patients
attending AGMC & GBP Hospital.
Materials and Methods: This crossectional study was carried out on patients of Department of Ophthalmology at
AGMC & GBP Hospital from October 2017 to April 2019.A total 85 adult subject (both male and females) of all age group
were included in this study.Detailed eye examination and blood investigation like blood sugar and HbA1C was done.
Results: The study showed that 26 (30.6%) patients had mild NPDR, 11(12.9%) patients had moderate NPDR, 8(9.4%)
patients had severe NPDR, 2(2.4%) patients had PDR and 38(44.7%) patients had normal retina in right eye. 22(25.9%)
patients had mild NPDR,10(11.8%) patients had moderate NPDR,7(8.2%) patients had severe NPDR,1(1.2%) patient had
PDR and 45(52.9%) patients had no retinopathy left eye.
