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).

Social integration of Nepalese immigrants into Norwegian society: Enabling and challenging factors
No full textThis research is about social integration of Nepalese immigrant in Norway. It aims to examine the enabling and challenging factor in the social integration of Nepalese immigrants in Norway. The research used qualitative methods to analyse the perspectives of Nepal immigrants based on their own life experiences and perceptions while integrating into Norwegian society. The empirical data were collected through life history interviews with sixteen immigrants and two focus group discussions. The first focus group consisted of three participants and another was composed of four new participants. To get a wider prospect, their integration was analysed within four dimensions of social integration as structural, cultural, interactive, and identification. These dimensions were examined with the help of the following indicators: employment, Norwegian language proficiency, social connection and sense of belongingness.
This study found that the Nepalese immigrants face more challenges while there are few enabling factors in their path to social integration in Norway. Lack of Norwegian Language skills, educational background incompatible to the demands of Norwegian labour market, hidden discrimination at the workplace, weak social interaction with the host population are major hindrances for their integration. In contrast, when one overcomes these challenges, they become enabling factors of integration. Thus, Nepalese immigrants who wished to stay longer have enhanced their Norwegian language proficiency acquired education/skills according to the demands in the Norwegian market. However, in terms of social interaction, on the one hand, Nepalese immigrants are confined within their own community and social networks and on the other hand, their social interaction with Norwegians is very formal and nominal. Young immigrants, immigrants with a refugee background and the immigrants who have already stayed in Norway for at least a decade showed their attachment to the place and the Norwegian society. However, they pointed that the immense cultural differences exist between Nepalese and Norwegian society. Despite these challenges, these fractions of Nepalese immigrants wish to stay longer in the country, while the recent immigrants wish to return as soon as they accomplished their mission in Norway. In the perspectives of recent immigrants, Norway is one of the challenging countries to integrate for Nepalese immigrants.Masteroppgaven er åpen tilgjengelig fra 2019-05-28
The use of IgG(T) as a diagnostic tool in foals with naturally acquired Rhodococcus equi pneumonia.
No full textWhile rhodococcal pneumonia is among the leading causes of foal mortality, its diagnosis remains a challenge. Antibodies specific to VapA (virulence-associated protein A) were previously evaluated as a diagnostic tool using foals that had been challenged with R. equi. With the exception of IgG(T), VapA-specific IgG subclasses were poor predictors of disease. The objective of this study was to further investigate the use of IgG(T) as a diagnostic tool under field conditions. Healthy foals on a farm with a history of endemic R. equi infections were enrolled in the study (n=46). A serum sample from each foal was collected monthly at ultrasound screening times or when a trans-tracheal wash was performed. Sample collection was discontinued when antibiotic therapy for rhodococcal pneumonia was begun. Additional positive control serum samples were obtained from confirmed cases of rhodococcal pneumonia admitted to a local hospital (n=3). All samples were analyzed utilizing a previously validated ELISA for VapA-specific IgG and its subclasses (IgGa, IgGb, and IgG(T)). Foal’s were classified into one of the four groups: no respiratory abnormalities, subclinical disease, rhodococcal pneumonia, non-rhodococcal pneumonia. One-way ANOVA was used to compare the concentrations of VapA-specific IgG and its subclasses amongst the four different groups at each time point with significance level stablished at α=0.05. No statistical differences were identified and only 2/5 foals with rhodococcal pneumonia had elevated IgG(T) at four months of age. No foals without respiratory abnormalities (32), or with non-rhodococcal pneumonia (1) had high IgG(T) concentrations. Thus, IgG(T) was a poor indicator of rhodococcal pneumonia within the studied population. One factor that may have contributed to these results is the high number of subclinical foals that were started on treatment based solely on ultrasonographic abnormalities or on unspecific clinical signs. Therefore, it is possible that the early removal of these foals precluded our detection of a significant IgG(T) response

No full textPresent paper deals with the effect of chitosan at different concentration on seed germination of okra. It was revealed that chitosan at 0.03%, 0.12%,0.3% and 0.6% concentration induced seed germination in okra while at 0,03% there was maximum seed germination percentage as compare to other treatments. 1Department of Botany, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University, Aurangabad- 431 004 (MS), India; 2Department of Chemistry, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University, Aurangabad- 431 004 (MS), India; 3Department of Botany, University of Pune, Pune -411 007 (MS), India.* Corresponding Author, Email: [email protected] Cite This Article As: Sandhya Jaybhay, Asha Chate and Avinash B.

The authors regret that the legends to Fig. 3 (C, D, and I) and Fig. 4 (B, C, and E) did not originally specify that the values shown are adjusted P values. In addition, the colors used in the bar graph in Fig. 4 B were not correct nor defined. The corrected legends, with new text underlined, and corrected Fig. 4 are shown here.

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
