Aphid parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) of Kashmir, India: a checklist

Se publica una lista de especies de parasitoides afidiinos (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) asociados con varias especies de áfidos en Kashmir, India. El trabajo menciona a 61 especies de 15 géneros que se distribuyen en diversas localidades y áreas del valle de Kashmir. La base de datos sobre fauna de áfidos ha sido actualizada con cambios recientes de sistemática, nomenclatura, nombres de hospederos y plantas hospederas. Los parasitoides de áfidos son enemigos naturales de áfidos y pueden ser considerados como potenciales agentes de control biológico. El estudio sistemático de estos parasitoides, ayudará en la implementación de estrategias de manejo para controlar a los áfidos

Determination of subcarinal angle of trachea using computed tomography

Background: Change in tracheal bifurcation angle (subcarinal angle) is an indirect marker of various cardiac, pulmonary and mediastinal pathologies. Helical computed tomography (CT) allows acquisition of volumetric set of data of the chest and can be used for accurate measurements of subcarinal angle using reconstructed images on a workstation using minimum intensity projection (MinIP).The objective of this study was to estimate normal subcarinal angle (SCA) of trachea by computed tomography and to assess its relationship with gender.Methods: This was an observational study comprising a study cohort of 552 patients comprising of 312 males and 240 females who were subjected to CT chest for various indications in our department. Patients with no underlying cardiac, mediastinal or pulmonary disease were included in the study. Spiral CT scan of chest was performed on 64-slice seimens CT SOMATOM and images were reconstructed with thickness of 1.5mm and the images were viewed in coronal reformatted minimum intensity projection (MinIP) for determination of subcarinal angle using the angle measuring tool provided in the workstationResults: The mean subcarinal angle (SCA) in males was (67.60±14.55). The mean subcarinal angle (SCA) in females was (78.90±11.04). Females had a higher mean SCA compared to males with a statistically significant difference (p-value <0.05).Conclusions: The mean SCA in females was higher compared to males with a statistically significant difference between the two. This study holds practical relevance with regard to the performance of invasive trachea-bronchial procedures like bronchoscopy and tracheal/bronchial intubation

STRESS REACTIONS AND COPING STRATEGY AMONG HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS DURING COVID-19 OUTBREAK

Background: Psychological impacts among healthcare professionals have increased significantly due to the increasing number of COVID-19 cases. This study aimed to identify stress and coping strategies among healthcare professionals in Saudi Arabia during the COVID-19 outbreak. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional study online survey was conducted for health care professionals during a peak of COVID-19 from March to June 2020 at different healthcare institutions at KSA (n=342). Results: Sixty-five percent of responders often and always feel fears about infection and subsequent effects on themselves, the patient, and the family. 57% of them stated that they felt sometimes depressed mode and 47% anxiety during the outbreak. Eightyfour percent of the respondent always focusing on prevention as the first biosecurity measures such as hand-washing habits and using hand sanitizer, and 38.3% of them make sometimes relax and rest. While half of the responses (50%) sometimes had physical exercise. Also, thirty-eight percent joined sometimes community and/or group online chat groups, and 56.1% always keep contact with family and friends through social messaging or phone calls. Conclusion: Understanding this topic is important for healthcare organizations, effective strategies, and programs is needed to provide holistic staff care and wellbeing during outbreaks that focus on the value of mental and emotional support

Personality Structure, Creative Potential and Study Habits of Academically Gifted Students with Special Reference to 10+2 Level Students

Achievement is the end- product of all educational endeavours. The main concern of all educational efforts is to see that the learner achieves. After exploring the concept of achievement in the cognitive, effective and psychomotor aspects of human behaviour researchers have probed further and have attempted to understand the black box of achievement. The studies have brought to light the correlates of achievement and paved the way for control and manipulation of variables for quality management of achievement. The world is becoming more and more competitive. Quality of performance has become the key factor for personal progress. Parents desire that their children should climb the ladder of performance to as high a level as possible. This desire for a high level of achievement puts a lot of pressure on students, teachers, schools and in general the educational system itself. Thus a lot of time and effort of the schools are used for helping students to achieve better in their scholastic endeavours and it should be so because high achievers are asset to the society. Academic achievement is of paramount importance, particularly in the present socio-economic and cultural contexts. The effectiveness of any educational system is gauged to the extent the pupils involved in the system achieve. Generally, achievement refers to the scholastic or academic achievement of the student at the end of an educational program. Personality is the total picture of man`s organized behavior especially characterized by his fellowmen in the characteristics pattern of behavior, cognition, emotions which may be experienced by the individual manifested to others. Individual through his continuous reactions attempts to adjust himself to his A environment. Individual‟s moment which he adopt himself to the environment is his personality.

A habit is just a behavior that is repeated until it is automatic. A habit is something that is done on a scheduled, regular and planned basis that is not relegated to a second place or optional place in one`s life. It is simply done, no reservations, no excuses, no exceptions. Study habits are the ways that we study. The habits that we have formed during our schools years. Study habits can be „good‟ which means they work and help us to make good grades – or “bad” which just means they don`t work and don`t help us make good grades. Good study habits include being organized, keeping good notes and reading textbook, listening in class, and working every day. Bad study habits include skipping class, not doing work, watching too much TV or playing video games instead of studying, and losing work. Without good study habits, a students cannot succeed. To succeed, students must be able to appropriately assimilate course content, digest it, reflect on it, and be able to articulate that information in written and/or oral form. According to J. P. Guildford (1965) creativity is a form of divergent thinking. Divergent thinking is a kind of mental operation in which we think in different directions. Sometimes searching and sometimes seeking Variety. Divergent thinking leads to novel responses to a given stimuli. The unique feature of the divergent thinking is that a variety of responses are produced, to discover and define complex abilities that together make up creative thinking. The various variables of creativity are as: Sensitivity, Fluency, Flexibility, Originality, Redefinition and Elaboration
