Introduction:
Radiation therapy is one of the most technically sophisticated branch of medical sciences which caters to very ill patients, some of whom may be terminally ill. Since patients are treated on an outpatient basis which requires daily visit to hospital for a number of days, it can make them sensitive toward any increase in waiting time for their radiation treatment. This could be a source of stress for them. However, given the technical sophistication involved and varied clinical profile of patients, some amount of delay is inevitable.

Aim & Objective:
To compile and suggest strategies to manage patient waiting time in Radiation oncology department to achieve optimum patient' satisfaction.

Method:
The radiation oncologists in different institutes of the country were interviewed telephonically and were asked about the practices followed in their institutes/ departments in managing the patient waiting time during radiation treatment. The best practices being followed and the suggestions were compiled.

Conclusion:
Now it is being recognized that meticulous management of waiting time could go a long way in driving patient's satisfaction. Twoway communications are the best strategy. Apart from this many provisions could be made in waiting area as per institutional preferences and protocol to engage patient in waiting area of radiation treatment facility

Background:
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by reversible airway obstruction, hyperresponsiveness, and remodeling. Asthma prevalence has increased significantly globally over the last decade, and it remains incurable to this date.

Aims and Objectives:
The present study evaluated some of the antiasthmatic medicinal plants to assess their mode of action.

Materials and Method:
Animal models for milk-induced leukocytosis, milk-induced eosinophilia, mast cell degranulation, clonidine-induced catalepsy, and active paw anaphylaxis were used to assess the pharmacological effects of Ammi visnaga, Medicago sativa, and Urtica dioica.

Results:
Mice pretreated with diazepam, methanolic extract of M. sativa, and U. dioica exhibited significant (P < 0.05) inhibition in milk-induced leukocytosis. However, only M. sativa showed statistically significant (P < 0.05) results. All plants showed a statistically significant (P < 0.05) tendency to decrease milk-induced eosinophilia. Methanolic extracts of all plants significantly (P < 0.05) protected mast cells against degranulation by clonidine. A. visnaga and U. dioica significantly (P < 0.05) protected mice against clonidine-induced catalepsy. An acute treatment by M. sativa potentiated the catalepsy, while it significantly inhibited the catalepsy (P < 0.05) upon chronic treatment. In the allergic inflammation model, methanolic extracts of all plants under study decreased paw thickness in a statistically significant manner (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
All the three plants in this study demonstrated anti-inflammatory and antihistaminic effects, as well as decreased paw thickness, validate anti-allergic properties. A. visnaga showed a mast cell-stabilizing effect. A. visnaga and U. dioica inhibited the histamine-mediated clonidine-induced catalepsy from mast cells which proves the antihistaminic activity of these plants.
A Comparative Study of the Efficacy of Silodosin Versus Tamsulosin Versus Oral Hydration Therapy in Medical Expulsion Therapy for Ureteral Calculi
Authors: Pal Dilip Kumar , Kumar Ankit , Sarkar Debansu 
Published: March 2022

Purpose:
The use of various alpha-receptor antagonists (α-blocker) drugs as medical expulsive therapy (MET) for spontaneous clearance of ureteral calculi of various sizes has been extensive in the last decade by urologists across the world. Among all, α-blocker tamsulosin has been used widely. In contrast silodosin which is recently introduced in the market and more selective alpha-receptor antagonist and cardioselective drug but it has not been used widely as MET. In this study, silodosin (8 mg), tamsulosin (0.4 mg), and oral hydration therapy were compared in terms of efficacy and safety as MET in the management of ureteric stone along with rate of stone clearance, expulsion time, analgesic requirements, and adverse effects for treating ureteral stones size between ≥4 mm and ≤10 mm in diameter.

Materials and Methods:
Prospective randomized study was conducted between September 2018 and August 2020 with a total of 240 patients (80 patients in each arm) in tertiary care center of eastern India. First group received a single dose of silodosin (8 mg) daily, second group received a single dose of tamsulosin (0.4 mg) daily and third group received oral hydration therapy for 4 weeks.

Results:
There is no difference in the stone expulsion rate (SER), stone expulsion time (SET), and surgical intervention between tamsulosin, silodosin and oral hydration therapy group for ureteric stones ≤5 mm size. For ureteric stones of size 6 mm–10 mm, silodosin has better SER than tamsulosin with no difference in terms of SET. Analgesic requirement and pain episodes were more in the oral hydration group with no adverse effects (statistically significant).

Conclusion:
The proportion of passed-out stone was significantly higher among the patients treated with silodosin (65.0%) in comparison to other two groups (P < 0.05) with no difference in SET.

Published: March 2022

Invented in the 1930s, polyurethanes (PU) are a special group of polymeric materials. In France, only 3 kt of PU are recycled annually out of a production of 250 kt. The potential of recovery of this waste is therefore questioned and the agronomic way for the construction of fertile soils is considered. A study was conducted to evaluate the relevance of adding PU foam in a growing media (GM) for plantation, and to know if they can confer interesting characteristics for plant growth without any risk for the environment.The tested GMs were mixtures of compost (Material of Agronomic Interest from Water Treatment, NF U44-095), foams and arable topsoil. The foams used were derived from the core of PU mats. Four volume ratios of compost/foam mixtures were achieved. Topsoil was added at different volume ratios to constitute the final GMs (16 final GM).Ecotoxicological analyses show the safety of the tested GMs. Greenhouse trials over 54 days allowed to follow the development of ryegrass in GMs.Planting media with suitable agronomic potential for green roofs have been identified, based on the experimental results of the study, and will be tested on a larger scale.
Inventé dans les années 1930, les polyuréthanes (PU) sont un groupe spécial de matériaux polymères. En France, seulement 3 kt de PU sont recyclés annuellement sur une production de 250 kt. Le potentiel de valorisation de ce déchet est donc questionné et la voie agronomique pour la construction de supports de cultures non alimentaire pourrait être envisagée. Une étude a été menée pour évaluer la pertinence d'apport de mousses PU dans un substrat de plantation, afin de savoir si elles peuvent lui conférer des caractéristiques physico-chimiques intéressantes pour la croissance végétale sans risque pour l'environnement. Les substrats testés sont des mélanges de compost (Matière d'Intérêt Agronomique issue du Traitement des Eaux, NF U44-095), de mousses PU et de terre végétale. Les mousses utilisées sont issues de l'âme de matelas en PU. Quatre ratios volumiques de mélanges compost/mousse ont été réalisés. De la terre végétale a été ajoutée à différents ratios volumiques pour constituer les substrats finaux (16 substrats finaux). Les analyses écotoxicologiques montrent l'innocuité environnementale des substrats testés. Des essais sous serre pendant 54 jours ont permis de suivre le développement du ray-grass dans les substrats. Des supports de plantation avec un potentiel agronomique adapté pour les toitures végétalisées ont été identifiés et seront testés à plus grande échelle.

Published: March 2022

Esta investigación presenta el tipo de organización para el estudio en el aula virtual que estimula en mayor medida la motivación intrínseca de los alumnos por aprender. Se aborda la importancia que representa que los estudiantes muestren de manera espontánea interés, decisión y buen ánimo durante sus clases virtuales, para alcanzar aprendizajes significativos y duraderos. Para ello se tomó en cuenta el enfoque de Huidobro, Gutiérrez, Condemarín (1997) que indican la influencia de factores ambientales externos que inciden en la calidad de los estudios, es decir, la disposición ordenada de los elementos que componen el acto de estudiar: lugar, mente y tiempo.
La investigación se desarrolló bajo una metodología cuantitativa y de hallazgo en grupos de sexto grado de la primaria Anexa a la Normal de Torreón, Coah., y como resultado se reconoció que la organización de la mente, es decir, la atención que los alumnos logran en la modalidad virtual es la condición que más facilita la motivación intrínseca de los estudiantes. Así mismo, se destaca como hallazgo relevante que los estudiantes de sexo masculino consideran más importante concentrarse y realizar las actividades en línea a diferencia de las mujeres.
Abstract
This research investigates the type of organization that stimulates to a greater extent intrinsic motivation in students to learn in virtual classrooms. This research addresses the importance students’ spontaneity, interest, decisiveness and good humor have during their virtual classes, to achieve significant and long-lasting learning. For this purpose, the approach of Huidobro, Gutiérrez and Condemarín (1997), who indicate the influence of external environmental factors that affect the quality of studies, that is, the orderly arrangement of the elements that make up the act of studying: place, mind, and time, was considered.
The research was developed under a quantitative findings methodology with 6th grade primary school children from Annexed to the Normal, Torreon, Coahuila, and as a result we acknowledged that the organization of the mind, that is to say that attention students achieve in a virtual modality is the prerequisite that enables intrinsic motivation in students. Moreover, a relevant finding highlights that male student consider it more important to concentrate and carry out online activities, as opposed to female students

Published: March 2022

El presente trabajo busca analizar la estructura factorial con la que está compuesta la percepción del ejercicio docente universitario desde la perspectiva de los alumnos. Esta investigación es de tipo correlacional y transversal. Se realizó la aplicación de un cestioario mediante un formulario en linea a un total de 375 estudiantes universitarios en Saltillo los cuales contestaron por invitación. Para la verificación de la hipótesis se aplicó un análisis de componentes principales con enfoque descriptivo y exploratorio, donde se observan tres unidades relevantes en el quehacer del docente universitario denominados como: Compromiso docente (F1) el cual explica el 61.8% de la varianza, Emociones en el aula (F2) explica el 8.9% y Evaluación justa (F3) el cual explica el 3.9% de la varianza de la docencia universitaria; que en su totalidad, la observación con las dos dependencias educativas explica la variabilidad del fenómeno en un 74.6%. (Ver Tabla 2 Principales componentes). Por lo que se concluye que el compromiso docente es primordial para la enseñanza universitaria, así como el propiciar el diálogo en los ambientes educativos favorece la democracia.
Abstract
This research seeks to analyze the factorial structure which consists of students’ perception of university teaching practices. This research is correlational and cross-sectional; and emerges as part of the Teaching Sustainability Project in university students. An online questionnaire was applied to a total of 375 university students from two educational institutes in Saltillo, who were invited to answer it. To verify the hypothesis, a principal component analysis was applied with a descriptive and exploratory approach where three relevant units were observed within tasks university teachers performed and were labelled as: Teaching commitment (F1), which explains 61.8% of variance; , Emotions within the classroom (F2), which explains 8.9%, and Fair assessment (F3), which explains 3.9% of the variance of university teaching; which, as a whole, explains the variability of the phenomenon in 74.6% in two universities. (Table 2: Main components). Therefore, we conclude that a teacher’s commitment is essential for university education, just as promoting dialogue in an educational environment encourages democracy.

Casa como elemento do parentesco em duas localidades no sul do Brasil
Authors: Wiggers Raquel 
Published: March 2022

Apresento duas etnografias onde a casa e as formas de morar definem relações sociais locais. Uma é uma comunidade urbana na periferia de Florianópolis pesquisada na década de 90 a outra é uma localidade rural no sul da Ilha de Santa Catarina. A análise de casas inspirada em trabalhos de antropólogos como Lévi-Strauss, Bestard e Pina Cabral, foi central para compreender a dinâmica e a organização social dos dois locais das pesquisas. Cada um a seu modo acionam noções de casa e morar.

Altruism and the Dark Triad
Authors: Trahair Cassidy , MacDonald Kristi B. , Furnham Adrian , Schermer Julie 
Published: March 2022

BackgroundThe Dark Triad literature examining pro-social behaviours is minimal, with mixed results.Participants and procedureThis study investigates the relationships between the Dark Triad and altruistic behaviours based on self-report data from 286 adults. Altruism was assessed using two scales: a general measure as well as a more recent scale measur-ing compassionate altruism towards family, friends, and strangers.ResultsMachiavellianism negatively correlated with general altruism; however, when controlling for the other dark variables plus age and gender in a regression, narcissism was the only Dark Triad trait that significantly predicted altruism. None of the Dark Triad traits were significantly related to or predictive of compassionate altruism.ConclusionsThis study demonstrates that the Dark Triad and altruism relationships are not straightforward, and that, surprising-ly, strong negative relationships between the traits and altruism are not found. Limitations and future research direc-tions are discussed.
Kampong French
Authors: Duruz Jean 
Published: March 2022

Abstract: This paper refers to accounts of previous journeys on the ‘laksa trail’ in search of Peranakan cuisine and its sensory nuances. These journeys have produced narratives of migration and diaspora, shaped by the re-location of dishes and ingredients from local villages, coffee houses and home kitchens of Malaysia and Singapore to cafés and restaurants of Adelaide, Australia and Toronto, Canada. On this occasion, however, the argument comes full circle, focusing on nostalgic tastes, smells and textures that resonate in Singapore itself. The intention is to trouble meanings of authenticity in terms of specific communities’ dishes, ingredients and culinary rituals, and to frame the argument through the rich body of scholarship emerging since Fernando Ortiz’s seminal discussion of transculturation in Cuban Counterpoint (1995). Kampong French, established in the lush gardens of Singapore’s Open Farm Community, provides a ‘pop-up’ example of transculturation within a specific culinary contact zone (Pratt 1996; Farrer 2015)­—a sense of the plasticity of dishes, ingredients and meanings. It may be tempting to dismiss these re-inventions of traditional dishes and ingredients as opportunistic seizure of the ‘exotic’ or simply as expressions of creative entrepreneurialism, or even as ‘inauthentic’ adventuring on behalf of the palates of privileged middle-class consumers. Unravelling the political implications of these experiments in nomadism, however, suggests there is more to learn about meanings of authenticity in historically ‘mixed’ communities—about authenticity’s less obvious refractions of movement, ethnicity, identity and place and, in particular, about the complex ways these meanings are ingested in twenty-first century multi-culinary global cities.

Abstract. Enduring and extensive heavy precipitation events associated with widespread river floods are among the main natural hazards affecting central Europe. Since such events are characterized by long return periods, it is difficult to adequately quantify their frequency and intensity solely based on the available observations of precipitation. Furthermore, long-term observations are rare, not homogeneous in space and time, and thus not suitable to running hydrological models (HMs) with respect to extremes. To overcome this issue, we make use of the recently introduced LAERTES-EU (LArge Ensemble of Regional climaTe modEl Simulations for EUrope) data set, which is an ensemble of regional climate model simulations providing over 12 000 simulated years. LAERTES-EU is adapted for use in an HM to calculate discharges for large river basins by applying quantile mapping with a parameterized gamma distribution to correct the mainly positive bias in model precipitation. The Rhine basin serves as a pilot area for calibration and validation. The results show clear improvements in the representation of both precipitation (e.g., annual cycle and intensity distributions) and simulated discharges by the HM after the bias correction. Furthermore, the large size of LAERTES-EU also improves the statistical representativeness for high return values above 100 years of discharges. We conclude that the bias-corrected LAERTES-EU data set is generally suitable for hydrological applications and posterior risk analyses. The results of this pilot study will soon be applied to several large river basins in central Europe.
