As one of the major pillars of Indian social structure, the caste system distinguishes Indian culture from all other cultures of the world. Though the Constitution of India assures equality of status and opportunity for all citizens and various academic and political discourses also appealed for the complete eradication of the caste system, it has not been eradicated even after five decades of democracy. In this context, it becomes really interesting to re-examine the views on caste as reflected in Jawaharlal Nehru’s prose writings. Nehru’s major prose works unquestionably delineate his concern for caste. Focusing mainly on An Autobiography and the Discovery of India, this article seeks to examine the different representations of caste in his prose works and will also try to locate the gaps and the shifts underlying his views on caste.

This paper is devoted to exploring personalized applications of cellular immunotherapy as a control strategy for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia described by a dynamical system of three first-order ordinary differential equations. The latter was achieved by applying both the Localization of Compact Invariant Sets and Lyapunov’s stability theory. Combination of these two approaches allows us to establish sufficient conditions on the immunotherapy treatment parameter to ensure the complete eradication of the leukemia cancer cells. These conditions are given in terms of the system parameters and by performing several in silico experimentations, we formulated a protocol for the therapy application that completely eradicates the leukemia cancer cells population for different initial tumour concentrations. The formulated protocol does not dangerously increase the effector T cells population. Further, complete eradication is considered when solutions go below a finite critical value below which cancer cells cannot longer persist; i.e., one cancer cell. Numerical simulations are consistent with our analytical results.

AbstractCanine African Trypanosomosis (CAT) is a rarely described disease with frequently lethal outcome. A 5-year-old female mongrel dog weighing 22 kg was presented in Austria due to unilateral uveitis, pancytopenia, and anorexia 4 months after return from a trip through Western Africa. Trypanosoma spp. flagellates were detected in a blood smear and identified as Trypanosoma congolense forest type by PCR. Initial treatment with imidocarb and miltefosine led to clinical improvement but only isometamidium chloride hydrochloride applied intramuscularly led to complete eradication of the pathogen from the dog’s blood 4 months later.

The poverty-reducing impact of social transfers is weaker in Greece than in other EU countries, primarily due to the absence of a minimum social safety net. The paper examines the extent and structure of extreme poverty in Greece and attempts to assess the likely effects of the introduction of a minimum income scheme, under alternative scenarios about the extent of non-take up by eligible households as well as leakages to ineligible ones. Our results indicate that such a scheme could lead to an almost complete eradication of extreme poverty and a considerable decline in aggregate inequality at a moderate cost.

The author is referring to the anti - echinococciasis en npaign in Cyprus which started in February 1971. A 15 years program was arranged in order to obtain a complete eradication of the disease. Since the application of this program that is 2 1/2 years 33.748 stray dogs were killed and 2.532 female dogs became sterile by hysterectomy. Information about the disease and its dangers was given by specialized persons or groups to different State staff, slaughterhouses staff, animal breeders, schools» housewives etc. Complementary measures were taken : registration and taxation of dogs» disinfestation etc. The results of this campaign are already very satisfactory. The infestation rate in young ruminants and swine was reduced 83,3 - 95% and in dogs 58.8%. Especially the infestation rate in dogs beign 6.8% during 1972 dropped to 2.8% in the first six months of 1973. The echinococciasis which was a scourge for the animal breeding and the Public Health of Cyprus is on the way of its definite eradication.

Mycobacterium avium is an emerging opportunistic pathogen, globally. Infections caused by M. avium are laborious to treat and could result in drug resistance. This review discusses the importance of many factors including the cell wall in M. avium pathogenesis, since this unique structure modulates the pathogen’s ability to thrive in various hosts and environmental niches including conferring resistance to killing by antimicrobials. More research efforts in future are solicited to develop novel therapeutics targeting M. avium. The complete eradication of M. avium infection in immunocompromised individuals would need a deeper understanding of the source of infection, unique underlying mechanisms and its uncharacterized pathways. This could, perhaps in future, hold the key to target and treat M. avium more effectively.

Amlapitta is one of the leading clinical conditions in today’s speedy lifestyle. Present study focuses on this burning issue and its causes mentioned in Ayurved texts and actual causes observed in day to day life. Importance and benefits of Nidanparivarjan over only symptomatic treatment was assessed during this study. Amlapitta cases were diagnosed according to Ayurvedic texts and classified into two groups. One group was administered with only treatment and the other group was advised Nidanparivarjan along with the treatment. At the end of the study, it was found that the group with Nidanparivarjan was more benefited as compared to only treatment group. This clearly states that Ayurvedic method of finding the particular Hetu of the disease and practice of avoiding those Hetu; i.e. Nidanparivarjan leads to better results and complete eradication and prevention of the disease; thus serving the main principle of Ayurved science - Prevention is better than Cure.
