First person – Shweta Yadav
No full textABSTRACT
First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Journal of Cell Science, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Shweta Yadav is the first author on ‘RDGBα localization and function at membrane contact sites is regulated by FFAT–VAP interactions’, published in Journal of Cell Science. Shweta is a post-doctoral associate in the laboratory of Prof. Juan Botas at Baylor College of Medicine, Texas, USA, investigating neurodegenerative diseases.</jats:p
The social correlates of value consensus
No full textThis paper examines societal value consensus, or the extent to which individuals within a culture share similar values. This topic has been extensively theoretically discussed, but has received limited empirical attention. This paper explores the social variables of economic equality, religiosity and religious homogeneity and their relation to value consensus. Publicly available data from the latest wave of World Values Survey (N = 73,256), CIA world factbook and the World Bank World Development Indicators are used for analysis. Results reveal that value consensus is not correlated with religiosity, religious homogeneity or economic equality. Implications of these findings, with specific reference to economic developmental theories are discussed.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesby Shweta A. Kulkarn

Management of Shweta Pradara (Leucorrhoea) Through Ayurveda- A Case Series
Full text linkLeucorrhoea or vaginal discharge is generally whitish, yellowish or greenish vaginal discharge in females that might be normal or a symptom of infection. It is almost mucus discharge, which exhibit exfoliation of vaginal epithelial cells due to estrogen influence on the vaginal mucosa. It is important to identify the differences between physiological and pathological discharges. In Ayurveda, leucorrhoea is known as Shweta Pradara, where Shweta means white and Pradara mean discharge. Yoni vyapadas which are caused by Kapha or Vatakaphaja doshas are the main causative factors of Shweta pradara. It also depends on the Nidana which may lead to vitiation of any of the Doshas An attempt was made to manage Shweta pradara by Ayurvedic treatment protocol in dispensary at OPD level. This study was conducted on five unmarried female patients having symptoms of Shweta pradara. These patients came with complaints of vaginal discharge, itching in vaginal area, backache etc., and were treated with Shunthi Dhanyak Siddha Jala for Deepan Pachan, Haritaki churna for Anuloman, Jeevak plus capsule, Gynaevin syrup for oral medication, and Triphala Kwatha for Yoni Prakshalan, Himtone forte as Rasyana and Balya aushadhi. The whole treatment was done for 4 weeks and marked improvement was achieved in all the patient
Adaptive geolocation based interference control for hierarchical cellular network with femtocells
No full textThis thesis presents adaptive interference control methods to mitigate undesirable interference effects from femtocells to macrocell users in hierarchical cellular networks. The study in this thesis begins by quantifying the deterioration in performance experienced by macrocell users on the downlink in a simulated 3G/CDMA environment. Our baseline results show that the median deterioration in signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR) observed for the macrocell users may be up to 10dB and the outage probability increases by large extend. In the next part of study, we propose interference mitigation schemes - ‘Proximity Based Iterative’ (PBI) scheme and ‘Adaptive Interference Scaling’ (AIS) scheme to adjust femtocell power to reduce femtocell interference effect on macrocell users. We show that previously studied mechanisms like the load-spillage, utility based power adaptation usually require relatively high system overhead due to over-the-air signalling for estimation of interference. Proposed PBI and AIS schemes avoid such over-the-air signalling and make use of geo-location information and backhaul signalling for the femtocell interference estimation. These schemes achieve power re-distribution by scaling power uniformly across femtocells, while allowing the network operators to set desired target data rates. Results from simulations show that the PBI and AIS schemes are able to increase the number of macrocell users achieving chosen target data rates by up to 158% when compared with the value when femtocell transmission power is at maximum. However, in case of the PBI scheme, results shows that 25% of femtocell users may receive rates below the target rate. The AIS scheme provides an improvement over the PBI scheme by adjusting femtocell power according to the interference contribution by each femtocell. Thus, AIS achieves better performance and only up to 12:2% of femtocell users receive rates below the target rate. This study concludes with parametric evaluation of system throughput as a function of both macrocell and femtocell user densities. Qualitative results are provided to support the conclusion.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Shweta Sagar
Effect of Ayurveda management in Shweta Pradara - A Case study
Full text linkHealthy habits are the best way to avoid disease. But in the chaos of a woman’s daily life healthy living is not at all followed now a days. Along with overall health of a women vaginal health is also an important part. A healthy woman is a promise of a healthy life. Woman has to pass through different stages and phases of life in which physical and psychological changes occur. Also, she has to fulfil the dual responsibility at home as well at job. Hence, she needs perfect physical and psychological health. Safe, healthy and confident life is very much necessary, for that every woman needs a healthy yoni. An infection or change in the normal balance of vaginal yeast and bacteria can cause inflammation of the vagina. Shweta pradara is an annoying symptom which is present in many diseases or present a complication. Since Shweta Pradara is a symptom, not a disease, hence etiopathogenesis of principal disease would be etiopathogenesis of Shweta Pradara also. It can be said that it is a Kaphaja disorder in the region of Apana Vayu. Infections due to certain organisms in vagina and uterus also lead to white discharge. A female patient suffering from Shweta pradara was treated by Shamana chikitsa and Yoni prakshalana. She got excellent relief in symptoms by above treatment
