Women's Role

This study was designed to assess the access of Nepalese farmers to the training and extension service, gender division on agricultural work, and factors affecting agrobiodiversity management activities. A total of 2,817 respondents were interviewed at different locations throughout Nepal. The information was collected using the mWater surveyor. Descriptive and inferential analyses were done. The respondents having received training in agriculture were significantly higher among elite, educated, and agricultural households. Access to extension facilities was significantly determined by the type of household, ethnicity, occupation, and education of respondents. Male domination in the choice of crops, land preparation, and seed selection were significantly higher in male-headed households, marginalized groups, and agricultural households. However, females were more likely to be involved in seed sowing. The male domination in male-headed households were significantly higher for applying fertilizers, weeding, irrigation, and pest control. Among elite ethnic groups, domination of males was significantly higher for fertilizer application. The role of the male in agricultural households was significantly higher in all aspects. One unit increase in the area increased the likelihood of male involvement in irrigation by 30%. The males are likely to be more involved in harvesting, sales of products, and control of income. Elite and educated respondents coupled with access to training practiced more crop rotation compared to the rest. The likelihood of practicing intercropping and mixed cropping was influenced by extension facilities and training facilities. Elite groups and farmers with extension facilities tended to practice more agroforestry. So, the types of households, education, and ethnicity have a key role in the gender differentiation in agriculture operation. Moreover, training and extension facilities help a lot in the conservation and practice of agrobiodiversity. There is an urgent need in improving the women's role and overall management of the agricultural landscape.

AIM: To assess the changes in anterior chamber parameters and examine the factors associated with changes in the intraocular pressure (IOP) in individuals who have undergone phacoemulsification surgery. METHODS: It is a longitudinal analysis of secondary clinical data collected from 105 non-glaucomatous eyes (82 patients) undergoing a cataract surgery. We studied the association between anterior chamber parameters, grade of cataract, demographics, and changes in the IOP over a period of three weeks. We also evaluated the association between the pressure-depth (PD) ratio and changes in the IOP during this time. RESULTS: The mean age (SD) of the 82 patients was 60.1±7.8y. The mean±standard deviation (SD) IOP was 15.06±3.36 mm Hg pre-operatively; it increased to 15.75±4.21 mm Hg on day one (P=0.20). In the multifactorial models, the mean IOP was -1.715 (95%CI: -2.795, -0.636) mm Hg on day 21±5 compared with the pre-operative values. The anterior chamber depth (ACD), axial length, age, sex, and grade of cataract were not significantly associated with changes in the IOP. Each unit increase in the PD ratio was associated with an increase in the mean IOP by 1.289 mm Hg (95%CI: 0.906, 1.671). After adjusting for pre-operative PD ratio, none of the other variables (ACD, axial length, temporal angle) were significantly associated with changes in mean IOP. CONCLUSION: The PD ratio was the single most important factor associated with the changes in post-operative IOP over three weeks post-surgery.

Background: Dengue virus is now classified as a major global health threat by the World Health Organization. Bleeding is a common complication and is one of the most feared. There is an increase incidence in the adult population, hence, the focus of this study.Objectives: To determine the incidence of bleeding and the factors that influence its development among patients admitted with dengue fever at Fatima Medical Center, Phillipines from January 2009 to December 2011.Methods: This is a case control study using chart review. The incidence of bleeding is calculated using risk ratio. Factors affecting bleeding are determined using chi square for qualitative variables and T-test or ANOVA for quantitative variables. Simultaneous determination of factors association with bleeding will be analyzed using multiple logistic regression. Level of significance will be set at alpha = 0.05.Results: The female sex is significantly more prone to develop bleeding (p=0.044). There is no significant increase in bleeding in patients who have co-morbidities (p=0.447). In every one unit increase in WBC (1 x 109) the odds of bleeding decrease by 15%. For every one unit increase in hematocrit the odds of bleeding decreases by 6.8%. For every one unit increase in platelet count the odds of bleeding decreases by 3% that is every 10 unit increase in platelet count the odds of bleeding decrease by 22.9%.Conclusions: Female sex, a low initial WBC and platelet count will increase a patient’s propensity to develop bleeding.Journal of Gandaki Medical College Volume, 09, Number 2, July December  2016, page: 23-28

Fertilizer Regimes

Landscape trees typically grow slowly for several years after transplanting. We investigated whether fertilization could speed tree growth during this establishment period, which fertilization regimes were most effective, and whether fertilization interacted with irrigation. Fifty-four each of landscape-sized, balled-and-burlapped red maple (Acer rubrum) and littleleaf linden (Tilia cordata) were planted into a relatively infertile silt loam soil and were fertilized (1.5 kg N/100 m 2[3 lb N/1000 ft 2]) each spring (either including or not including at planting), each fall, or not fertilized. Each of these fertilizer regimes was either irrigated or not irrigated during 3 years. An additional treatment of an unirrigated, split (spring/fall) fertilizer application was included. There was no evidence that fertilization affected irrigated trees differently than unirrigated trees. Overall, fertilization did not speed establishment and did not affect trunk growth, shoot extension, or leaf nitrogen content. There was no evidence that fall fertilization might be more effective than spring fertilization. There was no indication that fertilized trees experienced increased drought stress. Nitrogen rates and factors affecting fertilizer uptake are discussed.

Male Sterilization

Background: Permanent sterilization is a preferred method of contraception worldwide. In spite of popularization of temporary methods, it is used by 2/3rd of married women using any contraception. It has a low incidence of complications and failure rate and is cost-effective. Various socio-demographic factors play a role in acceptability of this method. It has an important role in controlling the total fertility rate.Methods: A retrospective record based analysis was done in armed forces personnel undergoing permanent sterilization operation over 11 years between 2005-2015 in a tertiary care institute. Analysis of trends in method choices of surgery, and comparison of the variables determining these choices was done. Year wise total fertility rates was calculated and the trend over 11 years was analyzed.Results: Permanent sterilization operations were performed in 2121 couples over the 11 years period. Of total operations, 1823 (85.95% with 95% confidence interval = 84.42, 87.38) were done in females and 298 (14.05% with 95% confidence interval = 12.62, 15.58) in males. Female sterilization acceptance ranged between 71.6% to 91.6% and male sterilization between 8.4%-28.4% with an increasing trend towards male sterilization acceptance over the years. Total fertility rate declined from 2.3 to 2.09 in 11 years.Conclusions: Increase in literacy rate of both the partners can positively impact the male involvement in permanent sterilization and control of TFR. This would help to stabilize India’s population growth. Also, a decline in son preference can be beneficial for decline in fertility rate.

The agricultural scenario in Rural India presents a very intricate picture of role of women in farming activities. The present study was conducted in district Churu of Rajasthan. Total sample consisted of 300 rural women from 12 villages of 3 panchayat samities of district Churu. Result shows that out of 10 farming activities, extent of participation of rural women was noticed ‘high’ i.e. more than 80% in 4 farming activities i.e. cleaning of field, seed selection and cleaning, intercultural operations and harvesting. ‘low’ in 3 farming activities i.e. manure application, irrigation, and pesticide application whereas ‘nil’ in 3 activities i.e. ploughing, fertilizer application and seed treatment and sowing. Farming activities like cleaning of fields, seed selection and harvesting were the items of maximum participation while manure and pesticide application activities were the items of least participation in all the 3 age groups i.e. younger, middle and older. SES was measured in 3 parameters viz. low, medium and high. High SES respondents participated very poorly for all the farming activities but a little better they participated for seed selection. In medium SES, participated was noticed maximum for seed selection and harvesting i.e. 44.2 and 46.4 percent respectively, while lowest for manure application i.e. 2 (28.5). Respondents of low SES participated to their maximum i.e. 142 for 4 farming activities viz. cleaning of field, seed selection, inter- cultural operations and harvesting with their respective percentage 51.4, 47.9, 54.8 and 50.3. It is well analyzed from the results that the farming activities like seed selection was the item of maximum participation whereas, 2 farming activities i.e. manure and pesticides application were the item of least participation in all the age groups as well as all SES categories.
