    India is maintaining a livestock population of over 500 million and has a grim situation of forage and feed deficit to the tune of 35.6% green fodder, 10.95% crop residues and 44% concentrate. In term of nutrients, the deficit is expected to the tune of 24.6 and 19.9% respectively by the year 2020. The gap is to be bridged up through development as well as extension of appropriate fodder production technologies suitable for different farming situation strategies. Fifty-eight % of the available fodder comes from grazing land and 42% from stall feeding with crop residues (30%) and leaf fodder (12%). Grasses constitute the majority (88%) of fodder available in Uttar Pradesh (GOUP, 1994). However, the role of grasslands cannot be under judged, as the large animal populations owned by small, marginal and landless farm family strive upon these. The livestock sector achieved an average growth rate of 4.8 per cent during the Eleventh Five Year Plan (Economic Survey, 2012-13) and it contributed 3.6 percent of national GDP during the Eleventh Plan. In the same tune, the contribution from this sector is expected to improve because increasing purchasing power is favoring the proportion of protein from animal source in the human diets. Further, The Indian livestock sector is becoming more competitive participant in the world market. All this largely depends, however, on improvement and sufficiency in the production of feeds and forages. Notwithstanding the above, the grasslands and pastureland in the country are continuously shrinking. The paper addresses important issues limiting the development of new grasslands in semiarid Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh particularly the Lalitpur district

    AbstractA 3.6 kilobase cDNA clone coding for the human embryonic myosin heavy chain has been isolated and characterized from an expression library prepared from human fetal skeletal muscle. The derived amino acid sequence for the entire rod part of myosin shows 97% sequence homology between human and rat and a striking interspecies sequence conservation among the charged amino acid residues. The single copy gene is localized to human chromosome 17 and its expression in fetal skeletal muscle is developmentally regulated. The sequence information permits the design of isoform-specific probes for studies on the structure of the gene and its role in normal and defective human myogenesis.Myosin heavy chain cDNA; Nucleotide sequence; Amino acid sequence; Myosin rod; Chromosomal mapping; Gene transcription; (Human embryo

    Transformation induzierte PlastizitĂ€t (TRIP) spielt eine SchlĂŒsselrolle zur Gewinnung exzellenter Eigenschaften sogenannter TRIP-StĂ€hle. Die zunehmende Verwendung dieser StĂ€hle benötigt weitere Fortschritte auf der Modellierungsseite. Aus diesem Grund wurde ein nicht-lokales Phasentransformationsmodel entwickelt um das Deformationsverhalten dieser StĂ€hle zu untersuchen. Das Modell zur Berechnung großer Verformungen unter Annahme der KristallplastizitĂ€t wurde daher um eine mikromechanische Beschreibung der martensitischen Umwandlung und nicht-lokaler Verfestigungsmechanismen erweitert. Das Modell wurde anschließend dazu verwendet das experimentell beobachtete Transformationsverhalten gehĂ€rteter TRIP-StĂ€hle zu erklĂ€ren. Desweiteren wurde das validierte Modell der Phasentransformation zur Untersuchung der Effekte von Korngrenzen und ihrer Missorientierungen auf die Phasentransformation und der einhergehenden Deformationsverhalten metastabiler austenitischer StĂ€hle angewendet.Transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) plays a key role in obtaining excellent mechanical properties for TRIP-assisted steels. The extended and efficient utilization of these steels still require further advancements especially from the modeling side. Therefore, a non-local phase transformation model is developed to study the deformation behavior of TRIP-assisted steels. A micromechanical description of martensitic phase transformation and non-local hardening influences are added in the large deformation framework of crystal plasticity. The model is primarily used to explain the experimentally observed transformation kinetics and deformation behavior of TRIP-assisted maraging steel. Consequently, the validated non-local phase transformation model is employed to study the effect of grain boundary and its misorientation on the phase transformation and hence the deformation behavior of metastable austenitic steels

    Developing Cardiothoracic Surgical Critical Care Intensivists: A Case for Distinct Training

    No full text
    Cardiothoracic surgical critical care medicine is practiced by a diverse group of physicians including surgeons, anesthesiologists, pulmonologists, and cardiologists. With a wide array of specialties involved, the training of cardiothoracic surgical intensivists lacks standardization, creating significant variation in practice. Additionally, it results in siloed physicians who are less likely to collaborate and advocate for the cardiothoracic surgical critical care subspeciality. Moreover, the current model creates credentialing dilemmas, as experienced by some cardiothoracic surgeons. Through the lens of critical care anesthesiologists, this article addresses the shortcomings of the contemporary cardiothoracic surgical intensivist training standards. First, we describe the present state of practice, summarize past initiatives concerning specific training, outline why standardized education is needed, provide goals of such training standardization, and offer a list of desirable competencies that a trainee should develop to become a successful cardiothoracic surgical intensivist

    The health belief model

    © Cambridge University Press 2007.Development of the health belief model (HBM) In the 1950s US public health researchers began developing psychological models designed to enhance the effectiveness of health education programmes (Hochbaum, 1958). Demographic factors such as socio-economic status, gender, ethnicity and age were known to be associated with preventive health behaviours and use of health services (Rosenstock, 1974), but these factors could not be modified through health education. Thus the challenge was to develop effective health education targeting modifiable, individual characteristics that predicted preventive health behaviour and service usage. Beliefs provided an ideal target because they are enduring individual characteristics which influence behaviour and are potentially modifiable. Beliefs may also reflect different socialization histories arising from demographic differences while, at the same time, differentiating between individuals from the same background. If persuasive methods could be used to change beliefs associated with health behaviours and such interventions resulted in health behaviour change then this would provide a theory-based technology of health education. An expectancy–value model was developed in which events believed to be more or less likely were seen to be positively or negatively evaluated by the individual. In particular, the likelihood of experiencing a health problem, the severity of the consequences of that problem, the perceived benefits of any particular health behaviour and its potential costs were seen as core beliefs guiding health behaviour (see ‘Expectations and health’). Rosenstock (1974) attributed the first health belief model (HBM) research to Hochbaum’s (1958) studies of the uptake of tuberculosis X-ray screening

    Not AvailableAll people, whether educated or not, urban or rural, have cultural belief about the nutrition, health, causes of sickness or their remedial measures. Where professionals believe in substantial empirical evidence, farmers on the contrary rely more on observations, past experiences and accessibility of things needed to support their native lifestyle. According to a previous report (Satyapriya et al., 2020), the strengthening of internal Nutritional Health Locus of Control (NHLC) can help farmers feel more empowered and take charge of their nutrition and health. Thus their beliefs that rely more on cultural systems, can be revised in the light of new information and awareness. The ‘Health Belief Model’ (HBM) can be used alone or in combination with other models of learning theories and approaches, as the theoretical basis of a health education programs. Since no model or learning theory can explain or predict all aspects of health behavior, it will be more practical to combine compatible theories and models to create stronger health education programs. (Renuka et al., 2014). The HBM is often combined with: “Social learning theories and behavioral changes” in health education programs. In this study a Nutritional Health Belief Model (NHBM) has been used to understand the motivation to improve health, in context of anemia and nutritional health behavior among 100 farmers of backward districts of UP and Haryana in India. The sample of 100 farmers, was selected by simple random sampling technique. These districts in the 2 States were selected particularly due to their nutritional vulnerability. A basic framework has been designed to elucidate NHBM from the existing model health beliefs. Mokken’s Scaling Analysis (MSA) was used to select for a farmer’s perspective on nutritional health and motivational factors that influence their nutritional health beliefs. Since beliefs are related to health consciousness the relation between the major key factors of NHBM have also been reported in this study through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). NHBM complying to health consciousness and related key factors was the major deciding factor in agri-nutri linkage to health.Not Availabl
