Japan-Specific Viewpoints for Bridging City Planning and the Industry of Agriculture

Japan has experience reviving its real estate market through the introduction of securitization, and this could work for farmland even though farmland in Japan operates under different property regulations than office buildings an d residences. However, farmland usage and its activation would have broad impacts on city planning and extend to trade issues, so in this international friendship meeting, I would like to introduce the following ideas and to try to incorporate our different cultural viewpoints. (1) Michael E. Porter’s (1990) insights on The Netherlands’ agriculture are still pertinent today, and appear as though they may be effective in the activation of Japanese agriculture, even 30 years since his publication. (2) However, Japan’s attempt to replicate the Netherlands’ success within the last 10 years has brought no change to the 30 year decline of the agricultural industry. The practice needs modifications. (3) A prominent candidate city in Japan for this modified pract ice, possessing many characteristics of The Netherland’s famous Food Valley, is Miura city, 100 km south of Tokyo

Awareness regarding plagiarism and fair use of copyrighted work: a survey amongst Doctoral Students of Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow

In this information society, the new information occurs within microseconds and is also accessible to the wide range of users. Technology is developing day-by-day, and the ways of accessing information are also getting changed. In this digital world, the information is easily available and because of this, misuse of information is increasing. This creates a threat to the original creative work. Therefore, management of copyright is a new issue. With the existence of several laws and acts, the violation of copyright is still going-on in every field and in different parts of the world. This violation of copyright is a worldwide problem, mainly due to the people are still less aware about Intellectual property Right (IPR) and especially copyright in academic world. Due to wide use of information technology, now it become possible to access the information easily through databases, Internet, electronic resources in various formats. Standing within this state of our society, the investigator selected the present topic and decided to conduct the study on doctoral students. Doctoral students are considered as the generator of new information so it cannot be overemphasized that they should be aware about copyright. This study has been conducted to investigate and explore the awareness of plagiarism and fair use among the doctoral students. The paper deals with the basic concept of copyright, fair use and plagiarism and presented the findings related to awareness of copyright, various issues of copyright, treatment of quotation, level of awareness regarding plagiarism, various anti-plagiarism software, and awareness regarding fair use

‘Perfect’ Real Estate Liquidity and Adjustment Paths to Long-run Equilibrium

The purpose of this paper is to formulate an example of the international macroeconomic climate with ‘perfect’ real estate liquidity and identify the crucial implications brought about by such extreme degrees of real estate liquidity, or ‘financial’ real estate. For this, we will extend the traditional Keynesian international macroeconomic model, revisited and modified in the study of Branson and Buiter (1983), and construct a simple analytical framework with reference to the recent economic climate with extreme degrees of real estate liquidity. It will be shown that, after the increase in the foreign interest rate, real estate liquidity may help reduce the fluctuations of home output along an adjustment path between one equilibrium position and another. This finding suggests that real estate liquidity may serve as a buffer against influences from foreign countries, although within the setting of a theoretical perfect market

AN OVERVIEW OF RATIONAL PRESCRIBING PATTERN IN HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS IN TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL

Objective: To study the prescribing patterns of antihypertensive (AHT) drugs in hypertensive (HTN) patients and hypertension with diabetes mellitus (HTN with DM) patients in tertiary care hospital, to assess the rationality of prescribing patterns, to compare the hypertension management with Joint National Committee-7 guidelines (JNC-7).Methods: A prospective study was conducted over a period of 6 mo in the medicine department of Bharati Hospital and Research Centre, Pune. HTN and (HTN with DM patients. Who met the study criteria were enrolled in the study. The pattern of antihypertensive medications prescribed was studied and analyzed using Microsoft excel 2010 and Statistical. The rational prescribing pattern was assessed by using JNC 7 guidelines and World Health Organization (WHO) indicators.Results: Total of 60 patients included in this study, 43 (71.7 %) were HTN patients, and 17 (28.3 %) were HTN with DM patients. There were 29 (48.33 %) males and 31 (51.66 %) female patients were involved. 45 % of patients had pre-hypertension, 33.33 % had stage-1 hypertension, 8.4 % had stage-2 hypertension other 13.33 % patients are on Antihypertensive medications and whose Blood Pressure (BP) were normal according to JNC-7. In hypertensive 47.05 % patient had prescribed Calcium Channel Blockers (CCBs) as monotherapy along with 87.5 % Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs) with diuretics as combination therapy. In HTN with DM 46.15 % patients had prescribed Angiotensin Converting Enzymes (ACEs) as monotherapy along with 62.5 % CCBs with BBs were prescribed according to JNC-7. As per WHO indicators, average no. of medicines prescribed per prescription was 2.91 and all antihypertensive medicines in the study population were prescribed rationally.Conclusion: The present study represents the current prescribing trend for antihypertensive agents. It implies that. In hypertensive patients ARBs are the leading group of antihypertensive agents as monotherapy and ARBs with diuretics as a combination therapy according to JNC 7.Keywords: Joint National Committee (JNC-7), World Health Organization (WHO), Hypertension (HTN), Diabetes mellitus (DM
