Venue: Journal of Ayub Medical College, Abbottabad JAMC

Ready to use therapeutic foods (RUTF) are an important component of the effective outpatient treatment of severe wasting because most of the child deaths in the world especially in developing countries is due to malnutrition. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness and acceptability of ready to use therapeutic food among malnourished children in a tertiary care hospital.  An observational exploratory study based on sixty subjects with 3 120 months of age, malnourished children were chosen by universal sampling from Children Hospital Lahore, Pakistan, during the time period 1st September 2012 to 30th November 2012 with the approval of ethical committee. The study tool for investigation was a well structured questionnaire.  The highest proportion of malnourished children belonged to urban areas (71.67% and age group <24 months (65%.The effect of RUTF on weight for height and weight for age Z score from baseline to the end of follow up was statistically significant (Paired sample t test) (p=0.000, 0.000) but there was no significant effect of RUTF on height for age (p value=0.14).The acceptance of food among patients was good, the proportion of patient was higher who consumed ready to use therapeutic food easily (70% percentage of vomiting (16.7% and complaints of diarrhoea (46.7% after taking RUTF was less in patients. All mothers were satisfied from ready to use therapeutic foods (100% CONCLUSIONS Malnourished children gained weight after the short term supplementation of ready to use therapeutic food but had no significant effect on height of the patients. Its acceptability in term of taste, amount consumes and demand was good. Mother's perception was also satisfactory regarding these foods.
Impact of ready to eat supplementary foods formulated from germinated cereal pulse mix and potato flour on the nutritional status of malnourished children

Five wholesome and nutritious ready to eat supplementary foods namely seviyan, panjiri, mathi, biscuits and pinni were developed from germinated wheat and green gram flour, potato flour and spinach leaves powder for malnourished children. The products were first standardized with potato flour followed by spinach leaves powder. All five products were acceptable at 30 per cent level of potato flour and 2.5 per cent level of spinach leaves powder. Mean overall acceptability scores of developed products were significantly different (p 0.05) The products were analyzed for nutritional composition. A significant (p 0.05) difference was observed in terms of proximate composition among the developed products. Highest energy value was found as 450.44 kcal for mathi. Lysine content was observed highest in biscuits. In vitro protein and carbohydrate digestibility was in the range of 0.567 to 0.858 and 85.17 to 91.73 mg glucose 100 g respectively. The phytin phosphorus content of the products decreased significantly. The developed products were stored in four different packaging material i.e. glass container, glass container aluminium zip lock packet, glass container plastic zip lock packet and plastic container for 90 days to check their shelf life and were found acceptable after sensory evaluation. To study the impact of supplementation of developed products on nutritional status of malnourished preschool children, a total of 118 children were selected from three ICDS centers of Ludhiana city. Out of total subjects, a sample of 90 preschool children in the age group of 3 to 5 years was selected for feeding trial on the basis of z scores. The subjects were divided into two groups i.e. experimental and control with 30 subjects in each group. The subjects of experimental group were supplemented with 100 g of each developed product for 90 days. A significant (p 0.05) (p 0.01) increase in intake of cereals, pulses, green leafy vegetables and roots and tubers all macro and micronutrients except calcium and folate, weight, BMI, MUAC and biochemical parameters was observed in the subjects of experimental group after supplementation. The developed products could be recommended for malnourished children under supplementary feeding programmes in the country.
Variational Analysis for CNC Milling Process

Dimensional and geometrical defects severely affect the quality of chip removal processes in CNC machines. In order to improve the accuracy, a long and expensive calibration process is usually performed on the CNC machine. The tuning process could be easier and faster if the designer is able to evaluate the effect of error sources providing a more robust and reliable CNC machine. The joined use of variational analysis and finite element analysis of geometrical features forecasts the position error of the tool tip.
Fairness, Equity and Social Cooperation: A Moderate Islamic Social Justice Leadership Model for Higher Education

This chapter explores the intersection of social justice and higher education leadership concepts from an Islamic perspective in the context of a critique of neoliberal globalized higher education as it affects developing countries such as the United Arab Emirates. The main contention is that the tradition of Islamic social justice is not only appropriate to the scholarly ethos and collegial governance, but that it is also compatible in many ways with Western humanistic traditions and liberal democracies, particularly those with a strong multicultural character. The first section provides a theoretical orientation to the recent political relationship between Islam and the West, the complexity of Muslim and Western scholarly traditions, the situation of this chapter in the humanist Enlightenment tradition, and the shared intellectual heritage of Islamic and Western intellectual traditions. The second section presents social justice conceptions of fairness, equity and social relationship, as well as distributive and redistributive justice that are core concepts of the Islamic ethic, discussed by important classical and contemporary scholars of the social justice tradition. The third section examines areas of compatibility with Western humanistic traditions, including humanistically informed models of university leadership, as well as related political conceptions of liberal democracies, and multicultural political and citizenship theory. The final section relates this discussion to a critique of neoliberal globalized education.
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF NPA IN ICICI BANK AND HDFC BANK

Banking sector in India is a rising sector. It promotes saving habits as well as encourages entrepreneurs for loans. The purpose of the study is to understand the working of NPA in apex Private Sector bank and how to reduce NPA. For this we can use ratio analysis and correlation. Gross NPA ratio is used to check whether the bank's gross NPA are increasing. It is indicating that the bank is adding a fresh stock of bad loans. It would mean the bank is either not exercising enough causing when offering loans or it is too lax in terms of following up with borrowers on timely repayments. Net NPA reflects the performance of banks. A high level of NPAs suggests high probability of a large number of credit defaults that affect the profitability and net worth of banks and also wear down the value of the asset. Loans and advances usually represent the largest asset of most of the bank. It monitors quality of the bank's loan portfolio.
A Comparative Study on Non Performing Assets (NPAs) of Selected Private Banks in India

Banks are backbone to Indian economy. Banking sector role is very important to development of economy. The major function of any bank is to lend funds as loans different sectors like agriculture, Industry, SME's, personnel and housing. We can find now a days banks have become cautious in extending advances, this is the reason to increasing NPA's. When NPAs increasing, it's directly affect profitability of the banks, why because have keep certain as provision. Non performing asset is a key parameter in the analysis of financial stability of any bank. RBI had started various major steps to bring down of NPA's but still its vain. We have made an attempt in this paper, to study the trend of Net profit Net NPA of selected private banks in India. Relationship between Net profit and Net NPA of AXIS, YES, HDFC, ICICI, KOTAK MAHINDRA banks are positive. When Profits are increasing similarly NPA also increasing, it's because of mismanagement of banks.
Norm Perception as a Vehicle for Social Change

How can we change social norms, the standards describing typical or desirable behavior? Because individuals' perceptions of norms guide their personal behavior, influencing these perceptions is one way to create social change. And yet individuals do not form perceptions of typical or desirable behavior in an unbiased manner. Individuals attend to select sources of normative information, and their resulting perceptions rarely match actual rates of behavior in their environment. Thus, changing social norms requires an understanding of how individuals perceive norms in the first place. We describe three sources of information that people use to understand norms individual behavior, summary information about a group, and institutional signals. Social change interventions have used each source to influence perceived norms and behaviors, including recycling, intimate partner violence, and peer harassment. We discuss conditions under which influence over perceived norms is likely to be stronger, based on the source of the normative information and individuals' relationship to the source. Finally, we point to future research and suggest when it is most appropriate to use a norm change strategy in the interest of behavior and social change.
Inheriting the Learner's View: A Google Glass Based Wearable Computing Platform for Improving Surgical Trainee Performance.
Venue: Journal of surgical education

It is speculated that, in operative environments, real time visualization of the trainee's viewpoint by the instructor may improve performance and teaching efficacy. We hypothesized that introduction of a wearable surgical visualization system allowing the instructor to visualize otherwise "blind" areas in the operative field could improve trainee performance in a simulated operative setting.  A total of 11 surgery residents (4 in general surgery training and 7 in an integrated 6 year cardiothoracic surgery program) participated in the study. Google (Mountain View, CA) Glass hardware running proprietary software from CrowdOptic (San Francisco, CA) was utilized for creation of the wearable surgical visualization system. Both the learner and trainer wore the system, and video was streamed from the learner's system in real time to the trainer, who directed the learner to place needles in a simulated operative field. Subjects placed a total of 5 needles in each of 4 quadrants. A composite error score was calculated based on the accuracy of needle placement in relation to the intended needle trajectories as described by the trainer. Time to task completion (TTC) was also measured and participants completed an exit questionnaire.  All residents completed the protocol tasks and the survey. Introduction of the wearable surgical visualization system did not affect mean time to task completion (278 50 vs. 282 69 seconds, p NS) However, mean composite error score fell significantly once the wearable system was deployed (18 5 vs. 15 4, p 0.05) demonstrating improved accuracy of needle placement. Most of the participants deemed the device unobtrusive, easy to operate, and useful for communication and instruction.  This study suggests that wearable surgical visualization systems allowing for adoption of the learner's perspective may be a useful educational adjunct in the training of surgeons. Further evaluations of the efficacy of wearable technology in the operating room environment are warranted.

Ficus racemosa, with immense medicinal value, and known as Cluster Fig Tree, Indian Fig Tree or Goolar (Gular) Figis, is a species of plant which belongs to family Moraceae. The complete chloroplast genome of Ficus racemosa was obtained by de novo assembly using next generation sequencing data. The chloroplast genome of F. racemosa was 159 473 bp in length, which consisted of a large single region (88 110 bp) a small single copy region (20 007 bp) and a pair of invert repeat regions (25 678 bp) The overall GC content of this chloroplast genome was 36.0% The chloroplast genome harbored 117 genes, including 84 protein coding genes, 27 tRNA, and eight rRNA genes (4.5S rRNA, 5S rRNA, 16s rRNA and 23s rRNA) that were two copied. Phylogenetic analysis of the complete chloroplast genome sequences with the report related chloroplast genomes revealed that Ficus racemosa is most closely related to Morus indica, a typical higher plant in fiamly Moraceae.
Gradients of connectivity distance are anchored in primary cortex
Venue: Brain Structure and Function

Connectivity between distant cortical areas is a valuable, yet costly feature of cortical organization and is predominantly found between regions of heteromodal association cortex. The recently proposed 'tethering hypothesis' describes the emergence of long distance connections in association cortex as a function of their spatial separation from primary cortical regions. Here, we investigate this possibility by characterizing the distance between functionally connected areas along the cortical surface. We found a systematic relationship between an area's characteristic connectivity distance and its distance from primary cortical areas. Specifically, the further a region is located from primary sensorimotor regions, the more distant are its functional connections with other areas of the cortex. The measure of connectivity distance also captured major functional subdivisions of the cerebral cortex: unimodal, attention, and higher order association regions. Our findings provide evidence for the anchoring role of primary cortical regions in establishing the spatial distribution of cortical properties that are related to functional specialization and differentiation.
Synthesis of Composition Tunable and Highly Luminescent Cesium Lead Halide Nanowires through Anion Exchange Reactions.
Venue: Journal of the American Chemical Society

Here, we demonstrate the successful synthesis of brightly emitting colloidal cesium lead halide (CsPbX3, X Cl, Br, I) nanowires (NWs) with uniform diameters and tunable compositions. By using highly monodisperse CsPbBr3 NWs as templates, the NW composition can be independently controlled through anion exchange reactions. CsPbX3 alloy NWs with a wide range of alloy compositions can be achieved with well preserved morphology and crystal structure. The NWs are highly luminescent with photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY) ranging from 20% to 80% The bright photoluminescence can be tuned over nearly the entire visible spectrum. The high PLQYs together with charge transport measurements exemplify the efficient alloying of the anionic sublattice in a one dimensional CsPbX3 system. The wires increased functionality in the form of fast photoresponse rates and the low defect density suggest CsPbX3 NWs as prospective materials for optoelectronic applications.

Venue: Chemical communications

Herein, we describe simple, fast and reproducible halide ion exchange reactions in CsPbX3 (X Cl, Br, I) nanocrystals (NCs) at room temperature. Through the simple adjustment of the halide ion concentration, the photoluminescence of these NCs can be tuned over the entire visible region (425 655 nm) Photodetector devices based on entirely inorganic CsPbI3 NCs are demonstrated for the first time. The photodetectors exhibited a good on/off photocurrent ratio of 10(5)
Ammoxidation of C2 hydrocarbons over Mo zeolite catalysts prepared by solid state ion exchange: Nature of molybdenum species

MOR like support extended the formation of Mo oxides due to its particular aperture/channel shapes. However, BEA and MFI (ZSM 5) zeolites structures loaded small aggregates of Mo oxide. Exchanging MoCl 3 with NH 4 BEA, H ZSM 5 (Si/Al 15) and NH 4 ZSM 5 (Si/Al 26) led to the consumption of Bronsted acid sites and silanol groups, while the lack of exchange sites in NH 4 MOR generated Mo OH as revealed by DRIFTS and TPD of NH 3 Polymeric Mo and MoO 3 occupied the bulk of BEA and MOR issued solids. Nevertheless, NH 4 ZSM 5 (Si/Al 26) support triggered the formation of dimeric species. For H ZSM 5 (Si/Al 15) solid, monomeric species migrated throughout the channels of H ZSM 5, which condensed easily to form rather polymeric species. Small oxide crystallites and Mo moieties that weakly interact with NH 4 BEA and NH 4 ZSM 5 (Si/Al 26) were easily reduced under hydrogen, while the negatively charged H ZSM 5 (Si/Al 15) framework inhibited the reducibility.
Cracking vegetable oil from Callophylluminnophyllum L. seeds to bio gasoline by Ni Mo/Al2O3 and Ni Mo/Zeolite as micro porous catalysts

Natural minerals such as zeolite are local natural resources in the various regions in Indonesia. Studies on the application of natural mineral currently carried out by national research institutions, among others, as a filler, bleaching agent, or dehydration agent. However, not many studies that utilize these natural minerals as green catalysts material which has high performance for biomass conversion processes and ready to be applied directly by the bio fuel industry. The trend movement of green and sustainable chemistry research that designing environmentally friendly chemical processes from renewable raw materials to produce innovative products derived biomass for bio fuel. Callophylluminnophyllum L. seeds can be used as raw material for bio energy because of its high oil content. Fatty acid and triglyceride compounds from this oil can be cracked into bio gasoline, which does not contain oxygen in the hydrocarbon structure. Bio gasoline commonly is referred to as drop in biofuel because it can be dir.
Size controlled Si quantum dots embedded in B doped SiNx/Si3N4 superlatice for Si quantum dot solar cells
Venue: Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Electronics

Under the condition of the fixed Si3N4 layer thickness of 1.1 nm, Si QDs embedded in B doped SiNx/Si3N4 multilayer thin films with various SiNx layer thickness were fabricated respectively. Si QDs with controllable and nearly uniform size were formed in SiNx layers, and found that the optical band gap of the films can be adjusted by changing the thickness of SiNx layer. On the basis of this, the Si QDs/c Si heterojunction solar cells were prepared. It is found that the larger the band gap is, the higher the cell efficiency is. The best performance device is obtained with average QD size of ~3.5 nm, which has the highest efficiency of 7.05 compared with the other two devices. This difference is caused by the difference of the spectral response of these devices.
The Effectiveness of Non ECG Gated Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography for the Diagnosis of Non ST Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome.
Venue: International heart journal

Non ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE ACS) can be difficult to diagnose accurately, especially in the hyper acute phase. Non ECG gated contrast enhanced computed tomography (non ECG gated CE CT) has been used in many institutions for screening acute chest pain. Although early defects (EDs) observed in non ECG gated CE CT have been reported as a sign of acute myocardial ischemia, the precise diagnostic value of this sign for acute coronary syndrome has not been fully elucidated. We investigated the usefulness of non ECG gated CE CT for the diagnosis of NSTE ACS. We retrospectively reviewed 556 patients who were hospitalized for acute onset chest pain and who underwent emergent coronary angiography. Non ECG gated CE CT was performed in 23 of these patients. Two readers independently analyzed CT images using a 5 point scale. Of the 23 patients, 13 were diagnosed with NSTE ACS. The remaining 10 patients were diagnosed with other conditions. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value, respectively, of EDs on non ECG gated CE CT to detect NSTE ACS were 84.6% 90% 91.7% and 81.8% The identification of EDs was consistent between the two readers. Non ECG gated CE CT may be useful not only to triage patients with chest pain by ruling out other conditions, but also to accurately diagnose NSTE ACS.
A Guideline of Selecting and Reporting Intraclass Correlation Coefficients for Reliability Research.
Venue: Journal of chiropractic medicine

Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) is a widely used reliability index in test retest, intrarater, and interrater reliability analyses. This article introduces the basic concept of ICC in the content of reliability analysis.  RESEARCHERS There are 10 forms of ICCs. Because each form involves distinct assumptions in their calculation and will lead to different interpretations, researchers should explicitly specify the ICC form they used in their calculation. A thorough review of the research design is needed in selecting the appropriate form of ICC to evaluate reliability. The best practice of reporting ICC should include software information, "model," "type," and "definition" selections.  READERS When coming across an article that includes ICC, readers should first check whether information about the ICC form has been reported and if an appropriate ICC form was used. Based on the 95% confident interval of the ICC estimate, values less than 0.5, between 0.5 and 0.75, between 0.75 and 0.9, and greater than 0.90 are indicative of poor, moderate, good, and excellent reliability, respectively.  This article provides a practical guideline for clinical researchers to choose the correct form of ICC and suggests the best practice of reporting ICC parameters in scientific publications. This article also gives readers an appreciation for what to look for when coming across ICC while reading an article.
The moderating and mediating roles of self acceptance and tolerance to others in the relationship between mindfulness and subjective well being
Venue: Journal of health psychology

This study explored the moderating and mediating influences of self acceptance and tolerance to others in the relationship between mindfulness and subjective well being. In total, 301 (130 males) university students completed the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire, Index of Well being, Self acceptance Questionnaire, and Tolerance Scale. The results showed that the positive link between mindfulness and subjective well being was significantly mediated by self acceptance only. Tolerance played a moderating role. The implications of the results for relevant research and mindfulness training were discussed.
Self Acceptance of Negative Emotions: The Positive Relationship With Effective Cognitive Reappraisal

Whereas some theories of cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT) propose that acceptance and reappraisal conflict with one another, we propose that one component of acceptance, self acceptance of negative emotions (being nonjudgmental of oneself for experiencing negative emotions) and reappraisal may facilitate one another. We hypothesized that emotion regulation (self efficacy and frequency of suppression and reappraisal) would be associated with a stronger correlation between self acceptance and more positive/less negative affect. We also examined whether self acceptance is associated with a stronger correlation between emotion regulation and affect. Participants (n 267) completed measures of self acceptance, affect, and emotion regulation. Use of emotion regulation strategies was associated with stronger relationships between self acceptance and affect, and self acceptance was associated with stronger relationships between emotion regulation and affect. This suggests that self acceptance and emotion re.
