In 2019-20, the global economic sky overcasted with COVID-19, a virus of the size of 0.12 microns. The global pandemic has produced a variety of unanticipated shocks to the economies around the world. It adversely affected the Indian economy also. The year 2021 has commenced with both hope and fear – several parts of the world are locking down and bracing against new waves of infections and speedily communicable mutations. The main objective of this study is to explore the impact of the novel coronavirus pneumonia on the economy of India and the government response to it. The pandemic has drastic impact on different aspects of economy – GDP, GVA, agriculture, trade, employment, service, industry. India’s GDP growth rate faced a drastic decline of -7.25 per cent in FY 2020-21 as compared to previous year, with a V shaped recovery. Due to the restrictions imposed by the government, the availability of agricultural inputs decreased leading to the hike in the prices. The agricultural producers throughout the country faced various marketing problems. Also, the farmers of Himachal Pradesh were also affected in various terms. Based on a survey among smallholder farmers of Himachal Pradesh, it was concluded that the main impact of the pandemic was witnessed by lack of financial assistance, restricted movement during marketing of produce, packaging problem and postharvest loss of the produce. The growth rate change (Y-O-Y) in 2020-21 over 2019-20 in different sectors of Indian economy declined, including GVA (-6.61), agriculture (3.63), industry (-6.37%), service (-8.38) and GDP (-7.25). In 2020, unemployment was high from April (23.52 %), May (22.75 %) and June (10.10 %) due to the lockdown, whereas, during 2021, it was higher in May (11.84%) and June (9.17%) months. The pandemic has negative impact on trade as depicted by the Y-O-Y per cent change in export and import during 2019-20 (-5.06%) and 2020-21 (-6.88%). The central and state governments have recognized the challenge and have responded and the policy makers need to be prepared to scale up the response so as to minimise the impact of the shock on all the sectors and pave the way for a V-shaped recovery.
The Potential Use of Pheromone Traps in Managing the Invasive Pest Spodoptera frugiperda
Authors: Londhe Sachin S , Goswami Dhanraj B , Goswami Manish D 
Published: September 2024

The Spodoptera frugiperda invasive pest was first reported in Karnataka in the year 2018 and now 2024 it has spread all over India. Commonly known as the fall armyworm, it is a destructive pest that affects a wide range of crops, particularly maize (corn), but also sorghum, rice, cotton, and various vegetable crops. Agricultural insect pest management is heavily reliant on synthetic pesticides, which do not accomplish long-term pest population reductions, particularly in areas with warm climates and extended growing seasons whereas continuous long-term pheromone-based control reduces population levels of targeted pest species. The lure for lepidopterans is generally based on the sex pheromone emitted by females Mating disruption, monitoring, and mass trapping are the major techniques of lepidopteran pest management that use female sex pheromones and they can be utilized alone, as in mating disruption or mass trapping, or in conjunction with pesticides, entomopathogens, and sterilants. In the experimental design, different densities of pheromone traps were used against Spodoptera frugiperda for monitoring pest populations in the study area.
By using different densities of pheromone traps, it was discovered that at trap densities of 8, 16, 24, 32, and Control, the Spodoptera frugiperda infection in maize crops was 61%, 51%, 30%, 10%, and 91.25%. The 10% infestation result lowest in maize crop with pheromone traps was an effective component of integrated pest management and often used in conjunction with other control methods such as biological control agents, cultural practices, and selective pesticide applications to manage fall armyworm populations sustainably and effectively.
The results showed that the percentage of fall armyworm infestation in maize crops dropped as pheromone trap densities increased. The F-test Two Sample for Variance indicated that there was a significant difference in FAW infestations between the trap densities (F = 13.05, P <0.01446) and F critical one tail 6.3882. This suggests that pheromone traps could be useful for monitoring fall armyworm males in the Maharashtra district of Nashik.

Abstract

The design of distributed, safety-critical real-time systems is challenging due to their high complexity, the potentially large number of components, and complicated requirements and environment assumptions that stem from international standards. We present a case study that shows that despite those challenges, the automated formal verification of such systems is not only possible, but practicable even in the context of small to medium-sized enterprises. We considered a wireless fire alarm system, regulated by the EN 54 standard. We performed formal requirements engineering, modeling and verification and uncovered severe design flaws that would have prevented its certification. For an improved design, we provided dependable verification results which in particular ensure that certification tests for a relevant regulation standard will be passed. In general we observe that if system tests are specified by generalized test procedures, then
verifying
that a system will pass any test following those test procedures is a cost-efficient approach to improve the product quality based on formal methods. Based on our experience, we propose an approach useful to integrate the application of formal methods to product development in SME.

Published: March 2016

ZusammenfassungEine Mikrozephalie betrifft 2–3 % der Bevölkerung und geht oftmals mit einer Intelligenzminderung einher. Die zugrunde liegende Reduktion des Gehirnvolumens kann sowohl durch exogene Faktoren als auch durch genetische Ursachen bedingt sein. Problematisch sind sowohl die uneinheitliche Klassifikation als auch die große Heterogenität der hinter dem klinischen Zeichen Mikrozephalie stehenden Erkrankungen. Im vorliegenden Artikel stellen wir unseren Vorschlag für die diagnostische Herangehensweise an ein Kind mit Mikrozephalie aus neuropädiatrischer Sicht vor.
The mediating role of catastrophizing in the relationship between pain intensity and depressed mood in older adults with persistent pain: A longitudinal analysis

Published: March 2016

Abstract

Background and aims
Depression is common in older adults with persistent pain. Cognitive-behavioural models of pain propose that the relationship between pain and depression is influenced or mediated by interpretations of events (cognitions), rather than by the event itself. Almost exclusively, the evidence for this position has come from studies of people aged less than 65 years. The role of cognitions in the pain experience of older adults has been unclear due to the limited and conflicting evidence available. The aim of our study was to examine the role of catastrophizing in mediating the relationship between pain intensity and depressed mood in older adults with persistent pain using reliable and valid measures for this population.

Methods
In a two-wave longitudinal design, a sample of 141 patients (89 women, 52 men) 65 years and over with persistent pain participating in an evaluation of a pain self-management programme completed questionnaires measuring usual level of pain intensity (NRS), depressed mood (DASS-21) and the catastrophizing factors of magnification and helplessness (PRSS) at the beginning of the programme and 6 months later. Demographic data and pain history were collected by self-completion questionnaires, which were mailed to patients prior to participating in the programme and returned by post.

Results
Change scores for usual level of pain intensity (NRS), depressed mood (DASS-21) and the magnification and helplessness factors on the PRSS-Catastrophizing were calculated by subtracting the scores at 6 months after completion of the study (Time 2) from the scores at the beginning of the study (Time 1). In the longitudinal analyses of mediation, using a series of regression analyses, change scores for both factors (magnification, helplessness) of the measure of catastrophizing (PRSS) totally and significantly mediated the relationship between change scores for pain intensity and depressed mood. The significant relative magnitude of beta between pain intensity and depression reduced from 0.22 to 0.13 and became non-significant after introducing magnification as a mediating variable, whilst the significant relative magnitude of beta reduced from 0.22 to 0.12 and also became non-significant after introducing helplessness as a mediating variable.

Conclusions
These results support a cognitive-behavioural model and highlight the importance of cognitive factors, in this case catastrophizing, in the relationship between pain intensity and depressed mood in older adults with persistent pain.

Implications
These findings also have important clinical implications for the treatment of older adults with persistent pain. They highlight the importance of targeting interventions to reduce the influence of catastrophizing as a prerequisite for reducing depressive symptoms in this growing population.
Survey of Ebola Preparedness in Washington State Emergency Departments

Published: March 2016

AbstractObjectiveThe 2014 Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak in West Africa remains the most deadly in history. Emergency departments (EDs) are more likely to come into contact with potential EVD patients. It is important for EDs to be prepared to care for suspected EVD patients. Our objective was to understand the perceived challenges experienced by Washington State ED medical directors in EVD preparedness.MethodsAn anonymous, electronic survey was sent to a convenience sample of ED medical directors across Washington State between November and February of 2014–2015. The perceived challenges of and attitudes toward EVD preparations were assessed and reported as stratified proportions.ResultsOf 85 medical directors contacted, 59 responses (69%) were received. This included EDs with annual patient volumes of <20,000 (20 hospitals, 34%), 20,000 to 40,000 (21 hospitals, 36%), 41,000 to 60,000 (4 hospitals, 6.8%), and >60,000 (12 hospitals, 20%). Among the perceived challenges in EVD preparations were spatial modifications (eg, building an anteroom for donning and doffing of personal protective equipment) and waste management planning. Ninety-five percent of respondents moderately or strongly agreed that it is important to have a predesignated hospital to care for EVD patients.ConclusionsWashington State ED medical directors have faced significant challenges in ensuring their EDs are prepared to safely care for suspected EVD patients. Attitudes toward EVD preparations are mixed. Varying levels of perceived importance may represent an additional barrier to statewide EVD preparedness.

Re-presenting Genocide: The Canadian Museum of Human Rights and Settler Colonial Power
Authors: Dhamoon Rita Kaur 
Published: March 2016

AbstractIn settler societies like Canada, United States, and Australia, the bourgeoning discourse that frames colonial violence against Indigenous people as genocide has been controversial, specifically because there is much debate about the meaning and applicability of genocide. Through an analysis of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, this paper analyzes what is revealed about settler colonialism in the nexus of difficult knowledge, curatorial decisions, and political debates about the label of genocide. I specifically examine competing definitions of genocide, the primacy of the Holocaust, the regulatory role of the settler state, and the limits of a human rights framework. My argument is that genocide debates related to Indigenous experiences operationalize a range of governing techniques that extend settler colonialism, even as Indigenous peoples confront existing hegemonies. These techniques include: interpretative denial; promoting an Oppression Olympics and a politics of distancing; regulating difference through state-based recognition and interference; and depoliticizing claims that overshadow continuing practices of assimilation, extermination, criminalization, containment, and forced movement of Indigenous peoples. By pinpointing these techniques, this paper seeks to build on Indigenous critiques of colonialism, challenge settler national narratives of peaceful and lawful origins, and foster ways to build more just relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.
Environmental Inspections and the EU: Securing an Effective Role for a Supranational Union Legal Framework
Authors: Hedemann-Robinson Martin 
Published: March 2016

AbstractOver several years, the European Union (EU) has gradually developed its legal framework to assist in the proper application of EU environmental protection rules, both at Member State as well as at EU institutional levels. This article focuses on one particular and relatively recent emerging element of that supranational framework, namely the range of EU secondary legislative measures and provisions concerning the management of environmental inspections. In addition to appraising the extent of EU legislative engagement in relation to environmental inspections, this article reflects on certain challenges of a constitutional nature that the EU will need to address in the future if its intervention in this particular policy field is to continue to develop.
The Role of Neuroticism in the Maintenance of Chronic Baseline Stress Perception and Negative Affect
Authors: Abbasi Irum Saeed 
Published: March 2016

AbstractThe influence of neuroticism on stress perception and its associated negative affect is explored in a quasi-experimental repeated measure study. The study involves manipulating the stress perception and affect of high N group (n = 24) and low N group (n = 28) three times; first, through exposure to neutral stimuli; second, through exposure to a laboratory stressor; third, through exposure to positive stimuli. The results reveal that after exposure to neutral stimuli, there is a significant difference in the baseline Perceived Stress Scores (PSS) (p = .005) and Negative Affect (NA) scores (p = .001) of the two groups. During the stress task, however, both groups show a non-significant difference in the PSS (p = .200) and NA scores (p = .367). After exposure to positive stimuli, there is a significant difference in the PSS scores (p = .001), but a non-significant difference in the NA scores (p = .661) of the two groups. When compared across three conditions, the high N group report significantly higher perceived stress (p = .002), but not significantly higher negative affect (p = .123) than the low N group. Finally for both PSS and NA scores, there is no interaction between neuroticism and any of the three treatment conditions (p = .176; p = .338, respectively). This study shows that the high N group may be at risk for health disparities due to maintaining a chronic higher baseline stress perception and negative affect state under neutral conditions, than the low N group. Implications of the study are discussed.

AbstractAcute peritonitis is a frequent medical condition that can trigger severe sepsis as a life-threatening complication. Neutrophils are first-responders in infection but recruitment mechanisms to the abdominal cavity remain poorly defined. Here, we demonstrate that high endothelial venules (HEVs) of the greater omentum constitute a main entry pathway in TNFα-, Escherichia coli (E. coli)- and caecal ligation and puncture-induced models of inflammation. Neutrophil transmigration across HEVs is faster than across conventional postcapillary venules and requires a unique set of adhesion receptors including peripheral node addressin, E-, L-selectin and Mac-1 but not P-selectin or LFA-1. Omental milky spots readily concentrate intra-abdominal E. coli where macrophages and recruited neutrophils collaborate in phagocytosis and killing. Inhibition of the omental neutrophil response exacerbates septic progression of peritonitis. This data identifies HEVs as a clinically relevant vascular recruitment site for neutrophils in acute peritonitis that is indispensable for host defence against early systemic bacterial spread and sepsis.
Dimensionality Reduction Based Optimization Algorithm for Sparse 3-D Image Reconstruction in Diffuse Optical Tomography

Published: March 2016

AbstractDiffuse optical tomography (DOT) is a relatively low cost and portable imaging modality for reconstruction of optical properties in a highly scattering medium, such as human tissue. The inverse problem in DOT is highly ill-posed, making reconstruction of high-quality image a critical challenge. Because of the nature of sparsity in DOT, sparsity regularization has been utilized to achieve high-quality DOT reconstruction. However, conventional approaches using sparse optimization are computationally expensive and have no selection criteria to optimize the regularization parameter. In this paper, a novel algorithm, Dimensionality Reduction based Optimization for DOT (DRO-DOT), is proposed. It reduces the dimensionality of the inverse DOT problem by reducing the number of unknowns in two steps and thereby makes the overall process fast. First, it constructs a low resolution voxel basis based on the sensing-matrix properties to find an image support. Second, it reconstructs the sparse image inside this support. To compensate for the reduced sensitivity with increasing depth, depth compensation is incorporated in DRO-DOT. An efficient method to optimally select the regularization parameter is proposed for obtaining a high-quality DOT image. DRO-DOT is also able to reconstruct high-resolution images even with a limited number of optodes in a spatially limited imaging set-up.

AbstractKnowledge about the Holocene evolution of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) is important to put the recent observations of ice loss into a longer-term perspective. In this study, we use six new threshold lake records supplemented with two existing lake records to reconstruct the Holocene ice marginal fluctuations of the Qassimiut lobe (QL) – one of the most dynamic parts of the GrIS in South Greenland. Times when the ice margin was close to present extent are characterized by clastic input from the glacier meltwater, whereas periods when the ice margin was behind its present day extent comprise organic-rich sediments. We find that the overall pattern suggests that the central part of the ice lobe in low-lying areas experienced the most prolonged ice retreat from ~9–0.4 cal. ka BP, whereas the more distal parts of the ice lobe at higher elevation re-advanced and remained close to the present extent during the Neoglacial between ~4.4 and 1.8 cal. ka BP. These results demonstrate that the QL was primarily driven by Holocene climate changes, but also emphasises the role of local topography on the ice marginal fluctuations.

Published: March 2016

AbstractUniform silica nanoparticles and jellyfish-like nanowires were synthesized by a chemical vapour deposition method on Si substrates treated without and with Ni(NO3)2, using silicon powder as the source material. Composition and structural characterization using field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy showed that the as-prepared products were silica nanoparticles and nanowires which have amorphous structures. The form of nanoparticles should be related to gas-phase nucleation procedure. The growth of the nanowires was in accordance with vapour-liquid-solid mechanism, followed by Ostwald ripening to form the jellyfish-like morphology. Photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence measurements showed that the silica products excited by different light sources show different luminescence properties. The emission spectra of both silica nanoparticles and nanowires are due to the neutral oxygen vacancies (≡Si-Si≡). The as-synthesized silica with controlled morphology can find potential applications in future nanodevices with tailorable photoelectric properties.
