The Exhibition of the Theft and the Beliefs Associated With it in the "Karisal Region" Short Stories

Through reading, it is understood that modern storytelling in the form of Tamil literature embraces different themes in different forms and the expression of the same. Accordingly, the publication of the short story, which encompasses various forms of emotion, beautifully reveals the living conditions of many oppressed and sublime people from time immemorial outside of his fiction. In an effort to draw attention to the dilapidated manor, which has been subjected to a multifaceted crisis in many ways throughout history by a diverse group of selfish people, particularly the beliefs they hold in the lives of those who have been made thieves, as well as how the Karisal regional writer has created and illustrated them in his short story literature, as well as their pre- and post-theft belief-based activities in their short stories

Molecular studies in children with fragile X syndrome

Background: Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is the most common single gene cause of Learning (intellectual) Disability (LD). FMR1 gene mutation is the commonest cause for this syndrome. The present study aims to analyze the incidence of the syndrome in Kerala population.Methods: Study was conducted among 86 children belonging to different places of Kerala. Children were selected on the basis of IQ scores and typical features of FXS. Blood samples were taken and routine karyotype was performed. PCR analyses were also conducted.Results: Majority of the children showed typical features of FXS. Out of 86 samples, six showed chromosomal aberrations were excluded. PCR analyses in 55 samples, screened 35 samples with FMR1 mutation, in which 26 samples having pre- mutation and 9 samples with full mutation.Conclusions: Through this genetic study, differential diagnosis of LD children with FXS, LD children with constitutional chromosome abnormalities, and LD children without any apparent genetic abnormalities could be established

Larval growth, silk production and economic traits of Bombyx mori under the influence of honey-enriched mulberry diet

The impact of honey on the silkworm, Bombyx mori was demonstrated with reference to the larval growth, silk gland proteins and economic parameters of sericulture. The honey works well at a concentration of 2% in distilled water. At this concentration it promotes growth rates in the silkworm larvae during fifth instar development. It positively reinforces the day-to-day larval growth rate by 4.75 additional percentile points, silk gland growth rate by 4.45 additional percentile points and the gland-body ratio by additional 6.64 percentile points. It stimulates silk protein synthesis in all the three segments of the silk gland, viz., the anterior, middle and posterior parts. Under its influence, the silk gland protein profiles grew significantly by 14.85 additional percentile points in the anterior silk gland (ASG), minimally by 8.68 additional percentile points in the middle silk gland (MSG) and maximally by 15.17 additional percentile points in the posterior silk gland (MSG), compared to their control values. It also stimulates the core shell protein synthesis by 18% and retards floss protein synthesis by ~25% in the three segments of silk gland. In doing so, it contributes to sericulture industry by causing improvements in profit making economic traits such as gland-body ratio, cocoon weight, shell weight, raw silk weight, denier and renditta and by reducing the production of floss, which contributes to loss in the sericulture industry. Honey is suggested as a profitable supplementary diet forsilkworm

Unusual case of tubercular peritonitis

An interesting case of Pelvic Tubercular Peritonitis, post MTP and IUCD insertion presenting as Severe Sepsis. Managed aggressively with Fluid, supportive measures and complete course of ATT. Case is being reported as an unusual complication post MTP and incidental reports in literature of spread of Pelvic Peritonitis in preexisting Genital Tuberculosis by haematogenous spread

A case of recurrent thanatophoric dwarfism

An interesting case of Recurrent Thanatophoric Dwarfism in a Multigravida; reporting to this hospital in second trimester which was terminated. It was confirmed on anomalies scan and was lethal. Genetic testing of the couple was advised; however, they refused and were lost to follow up. Long-term survivors are rare and require aggressive intervention for complications. In such cases couple should be informed of prognosis and extensively counselled for termination based on complications in long-term survivors as reported in literature. Management should be done after counselling and consultation regarding complications, clinical course, and prognosis of the condition. Due considerations may be given based on the parent’s desire for extreme life-support measures based on availability and affordability for provision of comfort care for the newborn. End of Life Support issues should be considered based on prevailing laws governing the nation

Magnetic shielding and exotic spin-dependent interactions

Experiments searching for exotic spin-dependent interactions typically employ magnetic shielding between the source of the exotic field and the interrogated spins. We explore the question of what effect magnetic shielding has on detectable signals induced by exotic fields. Our general conclusion is that for common experimental geometries and conditions, magnetic shields should not significantly reduce sensitivity to exotic spin-dependent interactions, especially when the technique of comagnetometry is used. However, exotic fields that couple to electron spin can induce magnetic fields in the interior of shields made of a soft ferro- or ferrimagnetic material. This induced magnetic field must be taken into account in the interpretation of experiments searching for new spin-dependent interactions and raises the possibility of using a flux concentrator inside magnetic shields to amplify exotic spin-dependent signals.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure

Ideals as generalized prime ideal factorization of submodules

For a submodule $N$ of an $R$-module $M$, a unique product of prime ideals in $R$ is assigned, which is called the generalized prime ideal factorization of $N$ in $M$, and denoted as ${\mathcal{P}}_M(N)$. But for a product of prime ideals ${{{\mathfrak{p}}_1} \cdots {{\mathfrak{p}}_{n}}}$ in $R$ and an $R$-module $M$, there may not exist a submodule $N$ in $M$ with ${\mathcal{P}}_{M}(N) = {{{\mathfrak{p}}_1} \cdots {{\mathfrak{p}}_{n}}}$. In this article, for an arbitrary product of prime ideals ${{{\mathfrak{p}}_1} \cdots {{\mathfrak{p}}_{n}}}$ and a module $M$, we find conditions for the existence of submodules in $M$ having ${{{\mathfrak{p}}_1} \cdots {{\mathfrak{p}}_{n}}}$ as their generalized prime ideal factorization

The role of outcome expectancy in therapeutic change across psychotherapy versus pharmacotherapy for depression.

BACKGROUND: Patient outcome expectancy - the belief that treatment will lead to an improvement in symptoms - is linked to favourable therapeutic outcomes in major depressive disorder (MDD). The present study extends this literature by investigating the temporal dynamics of expectancy, and by exploring whether expectancy during treatment is linked to differential outcomes across treatment modalities, for both optimistic versus pessimistic expectancy. METHODS: A total of 104 patients with MDD were randomized to receive either cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or pharmacotherapy for 16 weeks. Outcome expectancy was measured throughout treatment using the Depression Change Expectancy Scale (DCES). Depression severity was measured using both the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and Beck Depression Inventory-II. RESULTS: Latent growth curve models supported improvement in expectancy across both treatments. Cross-lagged panel models revealed that both higher optimistic and lower pessimistic expectancy at mid-treatment predicted greater treatment response in pharmacotherapy. For CBT, the associative patterns between expectancy and depression differed as a function of expectancy type; higher optimistic expectancy at pre-treatment and lower pessimistic expectancy at mid-treatment predicted greater treatment response. LIMITATIONS: The sample size limited statistical power and the complexity of models that could be explored. CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that outcome expectancy improved during treatment for depression. Whether outcome expectancy represents a specific mechanism for the reduction of depression warrants further investigation
