Food for nought
No full textThe short story, "Food for nought", is written by the listed author above, Shashi Bhat. Now in its 48th year, Best Canadian Stories has long championed the short story form and highlighted the work of many of the writers, throughout their respective careers, who have gone on to shape the Canadian literary canon. Caroline Adderson, Margaret Atwood, Clark Blaise, Lynn Coady, Mavis Gallant, Zsuzsi Gartner, Douglas Glover, Steven Heighton, Isabel Huggan, Mark Anthony Jarman, Norman Levine, Rohinton Mistry, Alice Munro, Leon Rooke, Diane Schoemperlen, Russell Smith, Linda Svendsen, Kathleen Winter, and many others have appeared in its pages over the years and decades, making Best Canadian Stories the go-to source for what’s new in Canadian fiction writing for close to five decades. A continuation of not only a series, but a legacy in Canadian letters. --From publisher description.Published

Maternal Health Financing – Issues and Options: A Study of Chiranjeevi Yojana in Gujarat
No full textGovernment of Gujarat announced a “Chiranjeevi Yojana” in April 2005. The objective of this scheme is to encourage private medical practitioners to provide maternity health services in remote areas which record the highest infant and maternal mortality and thereby improve the institutional delivery rate in Gujarat. The scheme was finally launched as a one year pilot project in December 2005 in five districts viz., Banaskantha, Dahod, Kutch, Panchmahal, and Sabarkantha. The private empanelled providers are reimbursed on capitation payment basis according to which they are reimbursed at a fixed rate for deliveries carried out by them. The payments are made for a batch of 100 deliveries. This is expected to take care of case-mix differences (i.e., normal or complicated deliveries) and help the providers to keep the costs below the reimbursed amounts. The scheme proposes to use a voucher system to target the people living below poverty line. The objective of this paper is to document the experience in implementing this scheme and discuss the issues in up-scaling it further.

Correct diagnosis of viruses is the primary requirement for disease management.
Of the different methods available for diagnosis, serological methods are useful
in the detection of viruses in seeds, plants and insect vectors. The production of
virus specific antiserum is the basis for a successful serological method. The
earliest serological methods such as precipitin tests are low in sensitivity. With
the advent of enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and its subsequent
application to plant virus detection during 1980s, some laboratories in India also
started working on the same. During 1990s, ELISA and its variants became more
popular in many laboratories of India working on plant viruses. During the same
period Indian researchers also used other serological methods such as dot immunobinding
assay (DIBA), immunosorbent electron microscopy (ISEM), electro-blot
immunoassay (EBIA) and florescent antibody technique in the detection of
plant viruses. Immunocapture PCR (IC-PCR) which combines both serology and
PCR has also been used by many Indian researchers in the identification and
characterization of viruses infecting different crops. Lateral flow immunoassay
technology is the recent technique that offers several advantages over traditional
immunoassays, such as procedural simplicity, limited requirement for special
skills or expensive equipment, and rapid results is also gaining importance in the
country. During the last decade, recombinant antibody (rAb) engineering has
emerged as one of the promising approaches in plant virus diagnosis. rAb fragments
in all various formats (Fab, Fv and scFv) can be expressed in different systems including bacteria, insect, yeast, plant and mammalian cells, which can
be used efficiently in various format of ELISA for diagnosis of plant viruses.
India also started a modest beginning in this area now.Not Availabl
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
