India's National Population Policy (2000): An Evaluation
No full textprofessional paper for the fulfillment of the Masters of Public Policy degreeThis paper examines the quality of India’s family planning practice under the National Population Policy (2000) or NPP-2000. The intent of NPP-2000 is to eliminate unmet contraceptive needs by providing high quality reproductive healthcare. In particular, the NPP-2000 aims to address flaws in healthcare infrastructure and to achieve a total fertility rate of 2.1 births per woman by 2010. Unfortunately, the implementation difficulties of past years persist in the era of NPP-2000. Indian families are subject to poorly-trained healthcare personnel and insufficient medical supplies, among other setbacks. Using interviews with family planning professionals and data from quantitative
and qualitative studies, the following analysis exposes widespread variation in the quality of family planning practice. Additionally, the author proposes strategies to address unmet contraceptive needs in northern states and among disadvantaged populations.Agrawal, Sandhya. (2009).

The Overlap of Hyperventilation Syndrome with Asthma and Anxiety
No full textHyperventilation Syndrome (HVS) is a functional breathing disorder characterised by recurrent or chronic changes in breathing pattern causing respiratory and non-respiratory complaints that cannot be attributed to any specific medical diagnosis. HVS is thought to be common yet often unrecognised or misdiagnosed as ‘difficult-to-control’ asthma. HVS can co-exist with asthma and is also a differential diagnosis of asthma. There are also similarities and overlaps between HVS and anxiety disorders. There is no gold standard for the diagnosis of HVS, but the Nijmegen Questionnaire (NQ), a 16-item symptom checklist for HVS symptoms, is most commonly used in both clinical and research settings. A high NQ indicates HVS. However, this questionnaire includes several symptoms that are also associated with asthma and anxiety disorders. This casts doubts as to whether the NQ can distinguish HVS as a distinct clinical entity. Some view HVS as undiagnosed asthma, while others consider that it is a form of panic disorder. The aim of this thesis was to explore the overlap of HVS with asthma and anxiety in a general population sample.
The prevalence of HVS and its association with asthma diagnosis, symptoms, objective markers of severity, and anxiety diagnosis at age 38 years were studied in the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study, a longitudinal investigation of 1,037 individuals born between 1972 and 1973 in Dunedin, New Zealand.
Nearly one in 10 Study members had HVS according to the NQ and it was approximately twice as common in women as men (12.1% vs. 6.5%, respectively; P = 0.003). There was a substantial overlap between HVS and asthma with up to one-third of asthmatic women (35.4%) and one-eighth of asthmatic men (13.5%) potentially affected with co-morbid HVS. A different pattern of NQ symptom scores was found in people with only HVS compared to that of people with only asthma. Additionally, the objective markers of asthma including FEV1/FVC ratio and bronchodilator response differed significantly between those with only HVS and those with only asthma, suggesting that HVS can be distinguished from asthma using the NQ and is not merely undiagnosed asthma that is falsely detected by the NQ due to overlapping symptoms. Asthmatics with high NQ scores showed higher symptom scores for all 16 NQ items, rather than scoring high only for the asthma-like symptoms suggesting that these high NQ scores represented co-morbid HVS rather than more severe asthma. Further, there were no differences observed in the objective markers of asthma between those with both asthma and HVS and those with asthma alone. A large overlap was also found between HVS and anxiety disorders, especially with panic disorder (PD). The high NQ scores found in those with both HVS and panic disorder could not solely be explained by co-morbid panic disorder diagnosis: despite a large overlap in symptoms, only approximately half of the total NQ score could be attributed to panic disorder and HVS is thus likely to be distinct from panic.
This is the first descriptive study of the prevalence and the overlap of HVS with asthma and anxiety in a large population-based sample. A substantial number of young adults in the general population have HVS and it is more common in those with asthma or anxiety disorders. It is important to assess for, and recognise HVS in these contexts

Atmospheric neutrinos: Status and prospects
No full textAbstractWe present an overview of the current status of neutrino oscillation studies at atmospheric neutrino experiments. While the current data gives some tantalising hints regarding the neutrino mass hierarchy, octant of θ23 and δCP, the hints are not statistically significant. We summarise the sensitivity to these sub-dominant three-generation effects from the next-generation proposed atmospheric neutrino experiments. We next present the prospects of new physics searches such as non-standard interactions, sterile neutrinos and CPT violation studies at these experiments
How it feels: The value and application of physical sensation in XR: Explore Somatosensory experience’s possibility in future XR trends
No full textThis research advocates for exploring the somatosensory system and its incorporation within XR systems, particularly in spatial recognition. This paradigm shift could introduce novel methodologies in XR design that perceive the body as a recipient of sensory stimuli and as an active participant in sensory perception. This could redefine our understanding of somatosensory in XR and contribute to a more holistic approach to multisensory design. Additionally, this study aims to examine the deployment of XR in the evaluation of aircraft interior design. The successful integration of XR technologies could potentially revolutionize the design process by presenting a more immersive and authentic user testing environment. In light of the present deficiency in precise spatial recognition within XR applications, this research could offer fresh insights into optimizing XR use in design, thereby improving spatial perception accuracy and enhancing ergonomics and user experience in real-world applications, such as aircraft interior design.Integrated Product Desig

No full textEffect of OEM Style and Aftermarket Performance Air Filters on Vehicle Parameters
No full textAbstractThe importance of the engine air induction system has recently increased because of governmental engine exhaust particulate and evaporative emission regulations. This has created a renewed interest in optimizing the existing parameters of the air induction mechanism like the air filter, filter box, piping etc for better performance. Air filter provided on the engine intake is subjected to increased levels of abuse due to the diverse driving conditions. The OEM air filter in modern vehicles is usually a paper type air filter. Due to the increased presence of counterfeit air filter in the market, there is a possibility that filter may be of poorer quality resulting in get premature clogging. The presence of increased number of aftermarket performance filters has prompted automotive enthusiasts to replace their OEM filters with these performance filters for better performance. This study addresses the issue of whether OEM air filter replacement with aftermarket air filter (oiled media filter from K&N) improves fuel economy. The increasing air filter pressure drop in diesel-engine-powered vehicles due to clogging was measured, with primary focus on changes in vehicle fuel economy but also including acceleration and engine temperature. The performance of both types of filters in new and clogged condition in terms of pressure drop, air discharge and filtering efficiency are also studied
