Japanese encephalitis Virus (JEV) a flaviviridae family member (genus Flavivirus) is the main cause of meta-zoonotic viral encephalitis in many Asian countries. The disease was primarily reported in 1952 from Nagpur territory of Maharashtra recording nearly 16 deaths of an unknown viral encephalitis which was later awarded to be JEV; just nearer to Chandrapur reporting the present catastrophes.Hence we have undertaken present study to make a countable move not only towards the diagnosis of the diseases but also to restrict its future spread in Indian continent. Which will also aid medical practitioners to combat with this metazoonotic disorder.Amongst total suspected population nearly these 20 males and 22 females were positive. Considering monthly distribution most number of suspected cases were seen in the month of July. Most number of JEV affected population was seen more in the age group of 1 to 5 years of children and with advancement of the age reduction in the number of seropositive cases were observed. Human blood or CSF to be the reservoir Source from which isolation of opportunistic infections could be made possible. Also important role played by vaccinations could also be cross checked in JE epidemic areas. Hence role of JE Vaccine in routine vaccination programme in JEV epidemic areas could also be proved to be beneficial.

Authors: Setiawan Adam 
Published: December 2020

The author grapples with the issue of how Heads of Regional government respond to Ombudsman’s recommendations, suggesting correction of public service failures, and what are the legal repercussions if those regional government heads chose to disregard such recommendation. Relevant legal norms - identified from existing legal sources - shall be discussed. It is suggested that Heads of Regional Governments are under the legal obligation to heed the given recommendation and rectify the government error as proposed. In practice, recommendations can and have been on numerous times been ignored. Administrative sanctions, i.e. obligatory special re-training-education programs, in the case of failure to meet Ombudsman’s recommendation, has been dismissed with impunity by both the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Heads of Regional/Local government, by reason of political or legal considerations.

Published: December 2020

Aside from human factors, tire blowouts and other tire imperfections are major contributors to the persistently high road accident rate. While tire imperfections are categorized as part of the mechanical factors affecting road accident, the tire maintenance personnel and the vehicle owners' human behavior plays a significant role in ensuring that accidents due to tire imperfections are minimized. Therefore, this study aims to determine the accuracy of the pressure gauges used by tire maintenance personnel, popularly called vulcanizers in Nigeria, and to determine the level of awareness of vehicle owners about the basic information that affects the safe use of tires on the road. The study consists of two stages. The first stage investigates the accuracy of the pressure gauges used by twenty vulcanizers in four different districts in Birnin Kebbi, the northwestern part of Nigeria. The second stage was an online survey regarding the tire maintenance behavior of 87 participants, who were formally educated from Diploma to Ph.D. level. The study's findings showed that about 25% of the vulcanizers do not use pressure gauges to measure air pressure during tire inflation, and less than 17% of the readings taken were accurate. Yet about 60% of the respondents believe that vulcanizers' pressure gauges are reliable and less than 30% of the respondents know that the expiring date of tires is four years in Nigeria. Therefore, there is an urgent need for proper awareness about tire usage and maintenance among the general population. It would also be appropriate to include such basic road safety information in the school curriculum at all levels.

Mathematical modeling of thermal decomposition of resins in the process of reversed gasification of plant biomass
Authors: Donskoy I. G. 
Published: December 2020

THE PURPOSE. Of this work is to estimate parameters for a sufficiently comlete thermal decomposition of tarry products of the fixed-bed gasification of wood fuel. METHODS. To this end, mathematical models are used in different statements: the decomposition of the tar is considered in the approximations of one- and two-reaction kinetic scheme; to assess the influence of the bed height and temperature, the convection-diffusionreaction equation with a given temperature distribution along the length of the reaction zone is used; the temperature of the gasification process is estimated from experimental data and thermodynamic calculations. Along with the numerical model of the decomposition of the tar, a simplified analytical expression (for large Peclet numbers) is applied, the limits of its applicability are determined. RESULTS. Of calculations show that the efficiency of the airblown gasification of wood is determined by the temperature level of the oxidation stage: in the range of modes in which the optimal values of efficiency are achieved, the conversion of tarry products does not proceed sufficiently completely due to kinetic limitations; an increase in the specific consumption of the oxidizer leads to a decrease in efficiency due to stoichiometric reasons. CONCLUSION. Physicochemical limitations do not allow reaching the limiting values of gasification efficiency, shifting the optimal modes towards increasing the specific air consumption; a decrease in the yield of tar requires, first of all, changes in the thermal modes of gasification (for example, external heating or an increase in the oxygen concentration).

Introduction: Dengue, the arthropod borne viral disease is serious public health problem in Nepal. The clinical diagnosis of dengue has become challenging in children as it is presented with nonspecific symptoms. The objective of present study was to assess different clinical presentations and outcomes of dengue fever in tertiary care centre.
Methods: A record based observational cross-sectional study was carried out on all dengue positive patients of aged 11 months to 15 years presented in Gandaki Medical College from July to November 2019. Total 74 patients with history of fever with dengue seropositive were included in the study. All the clinical and haematological findings were recorded in semi-structured questionnaire form.
Results: Of 74 patients 40 (54.1%) males and 34 (45.9%) were females. Fiftyone (68.9%) were cases of dengue without warning sign, 18 (24.3%) were dengue with warning signs and 5(6.8%) cases had severe dengue symptoms. Most of the patients (78.38%) were from Kaski district. Fever (100%) was the most common clinical presentation followed by headache (36.5%), vomiting (25.7%), and retro orbital pain (20.3%). Common laboratory findings included thrombocytopenia (59.4%) and leukopenia (35.1%). Among 74 cases, 68 were in stable condition and treated in OPD or in ward, and 6 were admitted in ICU of which one developed warning signs and other 5 had severe dengue. All the enrolled children recovered well and there was no mortality during this period.
Conclusions: Fever, headache, vomiting, thrombocytopenia and leukopenia were most common presentation of dengue fever among children. Appropriate clinico-laboratory diagnosis and management is relatively simple, inexpensive and very effective in saving lives as long as correct and timely interventions are instituted.

Published: December 2020

Peritoneal flap mesh hernioplasty is a technique to deal with complex ventral hernias in which primary closure of the defect is not attainable. We are here presenting a case report of a 50-year-old gentleman with huge complex ventral hernia with loss of domain. The patient also had overlying ulcerated and blackish colored skin. Botulinum toxin was infiltrated into the muscles of anterior abdominal wall and was followed by peritoneal flap mesh hernioplasty after one month. The final outcome was complete closure of the midline with a healthy skin with no evidence of abdominal compartment syndrome. There was no evidence of early recurrence on follow up.
Owing to the favorable outcome in this case, suitability of peritoneal flap mesh hernioplasty technique in treatment of complex ventral hernia could be explored further where closure of the primary defect is difficult.
