Abstract:

Use of marginal coastal saline lands for rice cultivation is one of the options to sustain the net rice cropped area and rice production. On-farm farmers participatory field trial was conducted in Bangladesh during 2012 and 2013 in non-gher and gher of medium saline ecosystems. The objective of the study was to identify suitable Boro variety for medium saline soils. Salt tolerant rice varieties, BRRI dhan47 and Binadhan-8 were evaluated along with widely adopted BRRI dhan28 in non-gher area. BRRI dha47, Binadhan-8 and Binadhan-10 were tested in saline ghers. Crops were irrigated with water of 1.89 to 3.5 dS m-1 at different growth stages respectively. In saline non-gher, where soil salinity went up to 6.35 dS m-1, the highest grain yield was produced by Binadhan-8 (4.57 t ha-1) followed by BRRI dhan28 (4.23 t ha-1). The highest grain yield was recorded in Binadhan-10 (5.14 t ha-1) in ghers which was 6 and 12% higher than BRRI dhan47 and Binadhan-8 respectively at soil salinity of 7.43 dS m-1. Farmers preferred Binadhan-10 as a salt tolerant variety for its higher grain yield and medium grain quality.Bangladesh Rice j. 2014, 18(1&2): 18-23

Abstract:

Gher farming with shrimp and prawn (seafood) is blooming in the south-west region of Bangladesh, impacting positively on household level nutritional security, employment generation and foreign currency earning. Such positive impacts increased the importance of seafood production and trade to the international market from Bangladesh. Out of several food safety requirement of international market, seafood traceability is a key issue for Bangladeshi producers. To develop a traceability system about 200,000 gher farmers were registered by DoF with the support of UNIDO project and a paper based traceability system was developed since 2009. This study was designed to understand existing traceability system, trend of gher ownership changes and its impact on the traceability in term of its strength and weakness. Three gher farming clusters in three upazilas of Bagerhat district were selected to carry out this study to assess the facts above using focus group discussion, key informant interview, questionnaire survey, physical observation, and literature review. The micro-level observation on the gher and its ownership changes were critically analyzed taking the Google Earth images from the farming cluster in the selected upazilas. The study revealed that gher farming has huge positive impacts on total farm productivity, income, and farmers well-being however, land ownership changes impacting negatively on existing traceability of farms. It was found that out of 167 ghers in three clusters, a massive change of gher ownership happened over the last 10 years. Under this situation existing traceability system cannot sustain for a long time. Therefore, land administration system should be brought under digital system and e-traceability needs to be implemented by the collaborative initiative of the Department of Fisheries and the Ministry of Land.Progressive Agriculture 28 (2): 156-166, 2017

Abstract:

The present study was conducted to understand existing production system of shrimp and prawn (seafood) with gher1 farming in the south-western region of Bangladesh from January to March 2014. Three gher farming clusters in three Upazilas of Bagerhat district were selected to carry out this study to assess the fact above using focus group discussion, key informant interview, questionnaire survey, physical observation, and literature review. The study revealed that gher farming system has changed the cropping patterns dramatically. This diversified farming system produces prawn, carp fish, boro paddy, and vegetable in the field where only single crop of paddy was cultivated. Gher dikes were used to produce vegetables, fruits and the central part for rice cultivation. Whereas the whole water body (during monsoon) and canals (during dry season) were used to culture finfish and prawn. Farmers were mainly found to use commercial feed with a rare amount of homemade feed because of the availability of commercial feed. Most of their investment goes for buying feed, PL and were found to take loan with high interest from banks or depot owners. Decreased salinity due to siltation in Mongla river resulted in increased overall production. The evidence presented in the study confirms that gher farming system impacting positively in the south-west region of Bangladesh.J. Bangladesh Agril. Univ. 15(1): 123-132, January 2017

Abstract:

The water-bodies of shrimp/prawn farm are known as “gher” and the embankments of the gher are known as “Dyke”. Recently, vegetable production on the Dykes is gaining popularity in the southwest coastal region. The main purpose of the study was to identify the present status of Dyke Vegetable Production (DVP) in gher and to determine the problem confrontation associated with DVP. Data were collected from randomly selected 84 respondents (50% out of 168 gher owners) of five selected villages of Mollarhat upazila under Bagerhat district, through face-to-face interview using a pre-tested interview schedule during February to April, 2018. Collected data were analyzed by using SPSS software for different statistical techniques and for obtaining results and subsequent interpretation for satisfying the mentioned purpose of the study.Most (86.9%) of the respondents had medium to large sized Dykes, and thus the respondents could bring their Dyke area under vegetables cultivation instead of keeping fallow year after year. The gher owners harvested on an average 218.47 kg vegetable and earned 3,383.807 Tk. annually from one decimal Dyke area which is an additional income. The gher owners who have large sized Dyke in ghers continued production due to high quantity of cumulative profit. About half (51.19%) of the respondents grown lady’s finger in the Dykes during lean period followed by brinjal (48.81%) and tomato (47.61%). The respondents produced 53,962.09 kg ha-1 which is completely extra production contributing to food security. A number of 29 problems were identified as confronted by Dyke vegetables growers with different extent of severity. The most severe problem in Dyke vegetable farming in the study area was “lack of technical knowledge for identification of diseases”. Most of the respondents (96.4%) belonged to medium problem confrontation category. Among 13 selected characteristics of the respondents only annual family income showed a significant positive relationship and extension contact showed a negative significant relationship with the problem confrontation. The gher owners confront medium problems and appropriate measures should be undertaken to reduce these problems as minimum as possible. Res. Agric., Livest. Fish.6(1): 69-78, April 2019

Abstract:

Many studies have found that countries with union-administered unemployment insurance have higher rates of unionization than countries with state-administered unemployment insurance. With data going further back in history, this article demonstrates that the introduction of so-called “Ghent systems” had no effect on unionization rates. We argue that the Ghent effect identified by the existing literature came about as a result of increasing state subsidization and benefit generosity in the 1950s and 1960s. Exploring the partisan politics of unemployment insurance, we show that progressive Liberals (“Social Liberals”) favored Ghent designs while Social Democrats favored state-administered unemployment insurance before the Second World War. We also present some evidence suggesting that Left governments, inheriting Ghent systems that were not of their choosing, promoted state subsidization in the postwar era and thus helped generate the Ghent effect identified by the existing literature.

Abstract:

ObjectiveAn important safety issue with GH replacement therapy (GHRT) in hypopituitary patients with a history of a pituitary adenoma is the risk for tumour recurrence or enlargement.DesignCase–control study.Subjects and methodsWe studied tumour progression rate in 121 patients with hypopituitarism on the basis of non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPA) receiving long-term GHRT. A group of 114 NFPA patients not receiving GHRT who were matched in terms of duration of follow-up, gender, age, age at diagnosis and radiotherapy status were used as a control population. The average duration of GHRT was 10±4 years (range 2–17).ResultsIn patients with a known residual adenoma, 63% had no detectable enlargement of tumour during the study. In patients who had no visible residual tumour prior to GHRT, 90% did not suffer from recurrence. In total, the 10-year tumour progression-free survival rate in patients with NFPA receiving GHRT was 74%. In the control population not receiving GHRT, the 10-year progression-free survival rate was 70%. Radiotherapy as part of the initial tumour treatment reduced the rate of tumour progression in both GHRT and non-GHRT patients to a similar extent.ConclusionsThe rate of tumour progression was similar in this large group of GHRT patients and the control population not receiving GHRT. Our results provide further support that long-term use of GH replacement in hypopituitarism may be considered safe in patients with residual pituitary adenomas.

Abstract:

Background Patients with hypopituitarism have an increased mortality. The aim of this study was to investigate comorbidities including cerebral infarction, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and malignant tumors in patients with non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPA) with and without growth hormone replacement therapy (GHRT). Methods Observational cohort study in patients with NFPA within the western region of Sweden. Subjects were identified through the National Patient Registry and followed between 1987 and 2014. Patient records were reviewed and standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) with 95% CIs for comorbidities were calculated. Results In total, 426 patients were included, 206 with GHRT and 219 without. Median (range) follow-up time for patients with and without GHRT was 12.2 (0–24) and 8.2 (0–27) years, respectively. Mean ± s.d. BMI was 28.5 ± 4.5 and 26.5 ± 4.4 for patients with and without GHRT, respectively (P < 0.001). Incidence of cerebral infarction was increased (SIR: 1.39; 95% CI: 1.03–1.84; P = 0.032), with no difference between patients with and without GHRT. SIR for T2DM in patients not receiving GHRT was increased (1.65; 1.06–2.46; P = 0.018), whereas the incidence in patients receiving GHRT was not (0.99; 0.55–1.63; P = 0.99). The incidence of malignant tumors was not increased, either in patients with or without GHRT. Conclusion The incidence of cerebral infarction is increased in patients with NFPA irrespective of GHRT. Patients without GHRT had an increased risk of T2DM, whereas patients with GHRT had a normal incidence of T2DM, despite having higher BMI. Incidence of malignant tumors was not increased. Thus, long-term GHRT seems to be safe regarding risk of comorbidities.

Abstract:

ObjectiveMost patients who have been treated for craniopharyngioma (CP) are GH deficient (GHD). GH replacement therapy (GHRT) may stimulate tumour regrowth; and one of the concerns with long-term GHRT is the risk of tumour progression. Therefore, the objective was to study tumour progression in CP patients on long-term GHRT.DesignCase–control study.Patients and methodsThe criteria for inclusion of cases were: i) GHD caused by CP; ii) GHRT >3 years; and iii) regular imaging. This resulted in 56 patients (mean age at diagnosis 25±16 years) with a mean duration of GHRT of 13.6±5.0 years. As controls, 70 CP patients who had not received GHRT were sampled with regard to follow-up, gender, age at diagnosis and initial radiation therapy (RT).ResultsThe 10-year tumour progression-free survival rate (PFSR) for the entire population was 72%. There was an association (hazard ratio, P value) between PFSR and initial RT (0.13, <0.001) and residual tumour (3.2, <0.001). The 10-year PFSR was 88% for the GHRT group and 57% for the control group. Substitution with GHRT resulted in the following associations to PFSR: GHRT (0.57, 0.17), initial RT (0.16, <0.001), residual tumour (2.6, <0.01) and gender (0.57, 0.10). Adjusted for these factors, the 10-year PFSR was 85% for the GHRT group and 65% for the control group.ConclusionsIn patients with CP, the most important prognostic factors for the PFSR were initial RT and residual tumour after initial treatment. Long-term GHRT did not affect the PFSR in patients with CP.

Abstract:

This paper examines the long-term impacts of the joint prawn-rice gher farming system on agricultural and household incomes, soil fertility, and productivity of modern variety (MV) rice in southwestern Bangladesh, based on socioeconomic data of the gher farmers and soil fertility data of their gher plots. In 2005, 20 farmers operating on 30 plots were randomly selected from the Bilpabla village of Khulna from whom prawn and MV rice production data were collected using a questionnaire; soil samples were also collected and tested. In 2011 and 2017, the sustainability of the gher system over time was assessed through another survey of farmers following the same methodology. Results revealed that although the nominal income from gher farming increased by 59 percent in 2011 and 23 percent in 2017, the real income and per capita household income remained unchanged over time. Agricultural income has contributed about 65 percent to household income, which for gher farmers was about 200 percent higher than average rural incomes in Bangladesh. Rice productivity declined slightly from its 2005 level. However, the productivity of MV rice under prawn-rice gher farming is substantially higher than in the conventional MV rice farming system. The positive estimates of the Mean Soil Quality Index and Soil Degradation Index for land used for MV paddy production within the gher indicate an increase in soil nutrients. This suggests that the joint prawn-rice gher farming system is relatively sustainable, having improved soil fertility and stabilized real income. Policy implications toward promoting agricultural growth in the southwestern region of Bangladesh include research on developing varieties of MV rice suited to prawn-rice gher farming and the development of commercial feeds and markets for prawn to further raise productivity and incomes of gher farmers.

Abstract:

Objective Hypopituitarism has been associated with increased mortality. The excess mortality may be due to untreated growth hormone (GH) deficiency but also due to various underlying disorders. We therefore analysed mortality in patients with only one underlying disorder, non-functioning pituitary adenoma (NFPA), with and without GH replacement therapy (GHRT). Design and method Patients with NFPA in the western region of Sweden, 1997–2011, were identified through the National Patient Registry and cross-referenced with several National Health Registries. All patient records were reviewed. Standardised mortality ratios (SMRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using the general population as reference. Cox-regression models were performed to identify predictors of mortality. Results A total of 426 NFPA patients with 4599 patient-years were included, of whom 207 had used GHRT and 219 had not received GHRT. Median (range) follow-up in patients with and without GHRT was 12.2 (0–25) and 8.2 (0–27) years, respectively. Other pituitary hormone deficiencies were more frequent in the GHRT group than those in the non-GHRT group. SMR was 0.65 (95% CI, 0.44–0.94; P = 0.018) for the GHRT group and 1.16 (0.94–1.42; P = 0.17) for the non-GHRT group. Direct comparison between the groups showed reduced mortality among those who were GH replaced (P = 0.0063). The SMR for malignant tumours was reduced in the GHRT-group (0.29; 0.08–0.73; P = 0.004) but not in untreated patients. Conclusions Selection bias explaining some of the results cannot be excluded. However, NFPA patients with GHRT had reduced overall mortality compared with the general population, and death due to malignancy was not increased. This suggests that long-term GHRT is safe in adult patients selected for treatment.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article discusses a woodcut series with an elaborate iconographic representation of the Flemish city of Ghent, printed in 1524 by Pieter de Keysere. The three-sheet composition consists of a city view, an image of the allegorical Maiden of Ghent, and an extensive heraldic program with the coat of arms of prominent Ghent families and of the Ghent craft guilds. The print series’ production and consumption are unraveled and framed within the wider debate on civic religion in Renaissance Europe. The main argument is that while in this region of Northern Europe civic ideology was equally strong as in Italy, it was not the exclusive playground of the ruling elites. Pieter de Keysere’s woodcut series was aimed at a socially broad, local audience, most particularly Ghent’s corporate middle groups.

Abstract:

This article analyses the economic activities of urban Flemish women in actual practice, using contracts and court judgements from the mid-fourteenth-century registers of the aldermen of Ghent. These ‘acts’ show that women routinely invested and managed their own property without male representatives and that distinctions of marital status were often far less significant in medieval Ghent than elsewhere in northern Europe. Another conceptualization of the scope of women's economic activity also existed at the time, in which men acted for women, but it was not the dominant norm in mid-fourteenth-century Ghent.

Abstract:

The exceptionally high union density rates in Denmark, Finland and Sweden are attributed to a particular form of voluntary unemployment insurance, known as the Ghent system. Heavily subsidized by the state and administered by union funds, it strongly motivates workers to become union members. Belgium has a partial Ghent system: while unemployment insurance is compulsory, trade unions retain an important role in the provision of benefits. Belgian union density is at an intermediate level; but as in other Ghent countries, its level is currently higher than in the 1970s. This article argues that the Belgian institutional set-up provides stronger incentives for manual workers in industry with lower educational attainment and a past unemployment record. In Denmark, Finland and Sweden, the Ghent system recruits workers across different occupations and educational levels. However, its appeal seems to have lessened over recent years, particularly among younger workers.

Abstract:

Volvo's car assembly plant in Ghent, Belgium, is currently experiencing turbulent times. The plant is implementing the biggest expansion in its history, with plans to almost double its production capacity in 2004. Moreover, Ford is increasingly consolidating its position as the new owner of Volvo. Both developments are challenging the distinctive model of teamwork that Volvo‐Ghent has established over the last decade. This paper assesses the challenges presented by these two developments and the possible outcomes in terms of teamwork at Volvo‐Ghent. This assessment relies on a combination of theories of team structure and team processes.

Abstract:

PURPOSE: Progress has been made in the treatment of medulloblastoma, the most common childhood malignant brain tumor: However, many long-term survivors will have posttherapy growth hormone insufficiency with resultant linear growth retardation. Growth hormone replacement therapy (GHRT) may significantly improve growth, but there is often reluctance to initiate GHRT because of concerns of an increased likelihood of tumor relapse. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study retrospectively reviewed the use of GHRT for survivors of medulloblastoma in 11 neuro-oncology centers in North America who received initial treatment for disease between 1980 and 1993 to determine its impact on disease control. A Landmark analysis was used to evaluate the relative risk of relapse in surviving patients. RESULTS: Five hundred forty-five consecutive patients less than 15 years of age at diagnosis were identified. Six-year progression-free survival (mean ± SD) was 40% ± 5% in children less than 3 years of age at diagnosis compared with 59% ± 3% for older patients. Older patients with total or near-total resections (P = .003) and localized disease at diagnosis (P < .0001) had the highest likelihood of survival. One hundred seventy patients (33% ± 3% of the cohort) received GHRT. GHRT use varied widely among institutions, ranging from 5% to 73%. GHRT was begun a mean of 3.9 years after diagnosis, later in children younger than 3 years at diagnosis (5.4 years). By Landmark analyses, for those surviving 2, 3, and 5 years after diagnosis, there was no evidence that GHRT increased the rate of disease relapse. CONCLUSION: This large retrospective review demonstrates that GHRT is underutilized in survivors of medulloblastoma and is used relatively late in the course of the illness. GHRT is not associated with an increased likelihood of disease relapse.

Abstract:

Abstract Digital tools for dialectology at the Ghent University Till the year 2000, all professors of Dutch Linguistics at Ghent University were professional dialectologists, who were at pains to carefully document the dialects of Dutch speaking Belgium. These efforts resulted in large collections of dialect data. During the last decade, all collections were digitized and made available in open access to a large audience. In this article, we will in short present both already available databases (and the accompanying tools) and the projects in progress. Eventually, all Ghent dialect databases will be hosted and cared for by the Instituut voor de Nederlandse Taal (Institute for the Dutch Language) at Leiden (The Netherlands).

Abstract:

A tanulmány célja, hogy a szakirodalom alapján feltérképezze a szakszervezet által kezelt, állami támogatással működő, országos szintű, önkéntes munkanélküli biztosítási rendszer, az ún. Ghent-rendszer, szelektív ösztönzést befolyásoló intézményi környezetét. További cél, hogy klaszterelemzés alkalmazásával megvizsgálja, hogy e környezet alapján a Ghent-rendszerű országok – Dánia, Finnország és Svédország – különböznek-e más országoktól. Az elemzés Olson (1965) melléktermék-elméletének koncepciójából indul ki. Ennek lényege, hogy a nagy csoportok az egyes egyénekre ható ösztönzők alkalmazásával képesek csak a tagságuk növelésére, fenntartására és így lobbitevékenységük megvalósítására. A szakszervezetek esetében az önkéntes munkanélküli biztosítás elérhetősége lényeges ösztönző. A szakszervezeti mozgalomra gyakorolt hatását dummy változóként szokták vizsgálni, jelen írás azonban a Ghent-rendszer szempontjából fontos intézményekre fókuszál.

Abstract:

AbstractA case-study of a litigation during the years 1566–1574 between merchants from Oudenaarde and the Corporation of Free Shippers in Ghent shows that the corporation's liability for damage caused by one of its members was controversial. Although art. 20 of the ordinance of 14 February 1541 appeared to phrase the corporation's vicarious or subsidiary liability in general terms, the corporation's counsel, assisted by consultancies from a.o. E. Leoninus and J. Wamesius, successfully argued that in the light of the ordinance's rationale, which limited the free shippers' privileges in the aftermath of Charles V's punishment of Ghent in 1540, the corporation's liability had correspondingly to be construed restrictively, viz. only with regard to cargo shipped in Ghent under its control.

Abstract:

Background/Aims: It is unknown whether long-term growth hormone replacement therapy (GHRT) affects body composition in an age- or sex-dependent manner. We aimed to study the effects of 4 years of GHRT on body composition in a large cohort of patients with hypopituitarism compared to a reference population matched by age and sex. Methods: A total of 964 GH-deficient adults from KIMS (Pfizer International Metabolic Database) with adult-onset hypopituitarism, adequately replaced with all pituitary hormones except for GH at baseline were included. A random sample of the general population (2,301 subjects) from a similar time period was used as reference. Patients and controls were grouped by sex in 5 age cohorts of 10 years. Main outcome measures were changes in BMI and waist circumference after 4 years of GHRT. Results: In younger patients (28–47 years), 4 years of GHRT resulted in a BMI increase similar to that observed in the reference population, but older patients (48–67 years) had significantly less BMI increase than age-matched healthy controls. Significant differences were seen in waist circumference in patients of all age cohorts who showed virtually no change after 4 years of GHRT compared to approximately 4 cm of increase in the reference population. Conclusion: Four years of GHRT resulted in improvements in BMI and waist circumference in patients with adult-onset hypopituitarism compared to age-matched controls observed during the same follow-up time. Despite these beneficial effects on body composition, BMI and waist circumference remained higher in patients on GHRT compared to healthy controls.

Abstract:

ObjectivePatients with GH deficiency (GHD) are insulin resistant with an increase in visceral fat mass (FM). Whether this holds true when sedentary control subjects (CS) are matched for waist has not been documented.GH replacement therapy (GHRT) results in a decrease in FM. Whether the decrease in FM is mainly related to a reduction in visceral FM remains to be proven. The aim was to separately assess visceral and subcutaneous FM in relation to insulin resistance (IR) in GHD patients before and after GHRT and in sedentary CS.MethodsTen patients with GHD were investigated before and 6 months after GHRT. Sedentary CS matched for age, gender, body mass index, and waist were assessed. Exercise capacity was measured as VO2maxusing an incremental work load on a treadmill. Visceral and subcutaneous FM were measured using whole-body magnetic resonance imaging and IR by the homeostasis model assessment of IR (HOMA-IR) index.ResultsGHD patients had a non-significantly lower VO2maxbut did not have increased subcutaneous and visceral FM compared with CS. GHRT resulted in a similar relative decrease in subcutaneous and visceral FM. Compared with CS, GHD patients showed a lower HOMA-IR. GHRT tended to increase HOMA-IR.ConclusionMatching for waist and separate assessment of visceral and subcutaneous FM may be critical in the evaluation of body composition and IR in GHD patients before and after GHRT.

Abstract:

Objective: Patients with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) have increased cardiovascular risk and may show elevated triglyceride and reduced high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentrations, two lipid abnormalities usually accompanied by increased small dense LDL in the ‘atherogenic lipoprotein phenotype’ (ALP). In the present study, we directly investigated (1) whether hypopituitary patients with GHD have increased small dense LDL; (2) whether growth hormone replacement therapy (GHRT) beneficially impact on such particles; (3) the prevalence of ALP in GHD and GHRT patients. Design and methods: In 14 hypopituitary patients with GHD (44 ± 13 years, body mass index (BMI) 27 ± 3) before and after 4 months of GHRT, and in 11 healthy age- and BMI-matched controls we measured plasma lipids and LDL size and subclasses by gradient gel electrophoresis. Results: Compared with controls, GHD showed increased triglycerides (P = 0.0024), similar total and LDL cholesterol levels and a tendency towards reduced HDL cholesterol concentrations (P = 0.0894). GHRT reduced total and LDL cholesterol levels (P = 0.0303 and 0.0120 respectively), but no effect was found on triglycerides and HDL cholesterol levels. LDL size was unchanged in GHD versus controls (269 ± 9 vs 274 ± 6 Å, P = ns), but LDL subclass analysis revealed a shift towards more dense particles (P = 0.0046). GHRT had no significant impact on LDL size and subclasses. The prevalence of ALP was 14% in GHD and 7% in GHRT. Conclusions: In GHD patients, individual features of ALP (including increased small dense LDL) may be common, but complete ALP is relatively uncommon. Short-term replacement therapy seems to be ineffective on such lipid alterations, but the effect of a longer GHRT remains to be assessed.

Abstract:

Summary This article is an interview with Hilde Symoens, the fifteenth in a series of Pro Memorie talks with retired Dutch and Belgian legal historians. Born in Brussels in 1943, Hilde Symoens spent part of her youth in Congo, where her parents, still in the colonial era, worked as teachers, She returned with her mother to Belgium in 1958 and started her university studies at Ghent University in 1960. As her father kept on being responsible for the Belgian schools in decolonized Congo, the colonial experience and the more general idea that the world was more than just the village one lives in, were important for her personal view of the world. At Ghent University, Hilde Symoens studied history and engaged in a PhD project on the Low Countries students at the late medieval and early modern university of Orléans. It was the start of a whole scientific career on the prosopography and the social roles of jurists. As a historian, not a jurist herself, she studied particularly ‘external legal history’. She married a Ghent professor of medicine, Leo De Ridder, was full professor at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and at Ghent University. She was one of the first women making career as history professor and talks on the incomprehension she met on her way.

Abstract:

ObjectiveThere is no single clinical marker to reliably assess the clinical response to growth hormone replacement therapy (GHRT) in adults with growth hormone deficiency (GHD). The objective of this study was to propose a clinical response score to GHRT in adult GHD and to establish clinical factors that predict clinical response.DesignThis was a prospective observational cohort study from the international KIMS database (Pfizer International Metabolic Database).MethodsWe included 3612 adult patients with GHD for proposing the response score and 844 patients for assessing predictors of response. We propose a clinical response score based on changes in total cholesterol, waist circumference and QoL-AGHDA quality of life measurements after 2 years of GHRT. A score point was added for each quintile of change in each variable, resulting in a sum score ranging from 3 to 15. For clinical response at 2 years, we analysed predictors at baseline and after 6 months using logistic regression analyses.ResultsIn a baseline prediction model, IGF1, QoL-AGHDA, total cholesterol and waist circumference predicted response, with worse baseline parameters being associated with a favourable response (AUC 0.736). In a combined baseline and 6-month prediction model, baseline QoL-AGHDA, total cholesterol and waist circumference, and 6-month change in waist circumference were significant predictors of response (AUC 0.815).ConclusionsA simple clinical response score might be helpful in evaluating the success of GHRT. The baseline prediction model may aid in the decision to initiate GHRT and the combined prediction model may be helpful in the decision to continue GHRT.

Abstract:

The study was carried out in Batiaghata upazila of Khulna district to identify different climate resilient cropping patterns that had been practiced over the past three decades as well as the farmers’ perception about the causes of adopting climate resilient cropping patterns. Information was collected through personal interview, focus group discussion, systematic study of available records and browsing internet. A slight change was observed regarding climate resilient cropping pattern over the last 30 years in the study area. About 30 years ago, five cropping patterns were practiced, only one pattern (Fallow-Fallow-T. Aman) was found climate resilient. About 20 years ago, 11 cropping patterns were practiced, 5 patterns (Fallow-Fallow- T. Aman, Boro-Fallow-T. Aman, Boro-Gher (vegetables)-T. Aman, Boro-Gher (vegetables)-Fallow and Fallow-Gher (vegetables)-T. Aman) were found climate resilient. About 10 years ago, 11 cropping patterns were practiced, 7 patterns (Sesame-Fallow-T. Aman, Boro- Fallow-T. Aman, Boro-Gher (vegetables)-Fallow, Fallow-Fallow- T.Aman, Boro-Jute-T. Aman, Boro-Gher (vegetables)-T. Aman and Fallow-Gher (vegetables)-T. Aman) were found climate resilient. At present, 14 cropping patterns are being practiced. Out of which, six patterns are climate resilient. Respondents justified nine causes for adopting climate resilient cropping patterns, while increase in cropping intensity was the most significant, while lower input cost was least significant. Most of the respondents (93.80%) had highly clear perception and the rest (6.20%) had moderately clear perception. A positive relationship of education and mass media exposure was observed with their perception. SAARC J. Agri., 18(2): 207-217 (2020)

Abstract:

This paper measures energy performance, Total Factor Energy Productivity (TFEP), technical change (TC) and energy efficiency change (EEC) of the gher (prawn-carp-rice) farming system using a unique panel data of 90 farmers covering a 14 year period (2002–2015) from southwest Bangladesh by employing a stochastic input distance function approach. Results reveal that all inputs contribute significantly to energy productivity of the gher farming system with male labor energy input being the major contributor followed by energy from machineries, seeds and chemicals. Energy performance of the High Yielding Variety (HYV) rice enterprise is highly efficient whereas the prawn enterprise is highly energy inefficient. Furthermore, energy performance of the HYV rice enterprise improved significantly over time. Significant competition exists between HYV rice and prawn enterprises as well as prawn and carp enterprises. Experience and education significantly improve energy efficiency whereas gher area and household size significantly reduces it. TFEP grew at the rate of 2.56% per annum (p.a.) solely powered by technical progress at the rate of 2.57% p.a. Gher system can be sustained in the long-run driven by technical progress and improvements in energy productivity of the HYV rice enterprise. Policy implications include investments in R&D and education targeted at the gher farmers.

Abstract:

Background: Scapular dyskinesis among throwers is thought to affect kinetic chain function and increase the load demands on the shoulder and/or elbow. However, the biomechanical relationship between scapular orientation and elbow valgus load, which is associated with ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injury, has not been determined. Purpose: To evaluate the effect of increased scapular internal rotation (IR) and glenohumeral external rotation (GHER) on elbow valgus load in a static simulation of the late cocking phase of throwing. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: Seven fresh-frozen male cadaveric upper extremities were used with a custom testing system to simulate the late cocking phase. First, the authors evaluated the effect of increasing scapular IR on maximum GHER and forearm angle (forearm axis relative to the ground). Each parameter was evaluated at 20° to 40° (5° increments) of scapular IR by applying 2.2-N·m external rotation torque to the humerus and 0.75-N·m valgus torque to the forearm. Next, to evaluate elbow valgus stability, the humerus was locked in maximal GHER at 40° of scapular IR, and sequentially increasing torque (0.75-7.5 N·m by 0.75-N·m increments) was applied to the forearm. Valgus angle and joint gap were evaluated at each torque. Results: Increases in scapular IR ≥5° significantly decreased GHER ( P < .01). With increasing valgus torque, forearm angle also increased linearly ( R2 = 0.85, P < .001). To compensate for the GHER deficit at 40° of scapular IR, a linear regression model showed that 25.3 N·m of valgus torque would be necessary to reach the original forearm position. In the intact condition, applying elbow valgus torque ≥5.25 N·m significantly increased valgus angle and the joint gap ( P < .01). Conclusion: Increased scapular IR significantly decreased GHER. Compensation for the GHER deficit significantly increased the elbow valgus load required to reach the same forearm position. Clinical Relevance: Increased scapular IR may increase the risk of elbow UCL injury among throwing athletes.

Abstract:

Climate plays a major role in the weathering of building stones. This study specifically investigates the influence of the urban heat island (UHI) in Ghent, Belgium, on freeze-thaw (F-T) weathering of natural building stones and their hydrophobic equivalent. Climatic analysis of data of two places in and around Ghent indicates higher temperatures and lower wind speeds in the city center. This leads to a reduced number of F-T cycles and a lower wind-driven load. Hygrothermal modelling of a natural building stone, Savonnières limestone, is performed for the urban and rural climate of Ghent on the untreated limestone and on the treated limestone to assess the freeze-thaw risk inside these materials. Urban climate has a mitigating effect on the potential frost risk in natural building stones as a result of the urban heat island. Additionally, the application of a water repellent product reduces the potential frost risk even more, since the water density in the stone is reduced.

Full text

Abstract:

Abstract This essay examines Henry of Ghent's reaction to the Thomistic criticism of the Au-gustinian theory of divine illumination. By grounding epistemology in the psychology of Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas made divine illumination appear to be an unwieldy theory incorrect in its basic assumptions. Even though Henry reworked the Augustinian theory, he did not completely reject the Aristotelian-Thomistic epistemology. Unlike so many of his predecessors, Henry did not attempt to avoid difficult questions raised by the fallibility of sense experience in developing his epistemology. Rather, he attempted to synthesize the intellectualist tendencies of the Augustinian theory with some of the empirical concerns of the Aristotelian-Thomistic account of human knowledge. Henry moved away from the strict metaphor of illumination, while at the same time exploring the relationship between the divine art and the human agent intellect. He was thus able to retain much of the Aristotelian terminology and still defend what he understood to be Augustine's intention for the doctrine of illumination.

The paper delves into the technical terms sensus and insinuare, and compares Henry’s account with H.P. Grice’s views on (speaker-)meaning and his notion of ‘conversational implicatures’, thus showing that Henry emphasises the performative features of linguistic use.

Abstract:

The article proposes to using Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) to increase the energy efficiency mining of methane from deposits subaquatic gas hydrates on the gas hydrate cycle (GHET), that will allow not to spend 10-15% of the extracted methane for power supply of a gas-producing complex (GPC). The circuit-technological solution GPC is described, according to which carbon dioxide is introduced into the gas hydrate layer to extract methane from gas hydrates. To improve the kinetics of the process of replacement of methane with carbon dioxide in gas hydrates, it is proposed do recirculation part of CO2. The scheme and cycle of gas-hydrate energy-technological installation GHET are given, which operates using OTEC and generates together with electricity for GPC, fresh water and cold. Based on the method proposed in this paper, a comparative thermodynamic analysis of installations using OTEC for Black Sea conditions was performed. by GHET and Anderson cycles and it is shown that the specific useful work obtained in the GHET cycle, approximately 3 times more, and energetic efficiency 1.5 times more.

Abstract:

During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the photographic visualization of the Belgian city of Ghent is closely connected to its urban planning. On one hand, the city is transformed according to the logics of industrial modernization with its functional and spatial zoning. On the other hand, the city’s historical heritage is rediscovered and many medieval buildings were preserved and restored. The planning history of Ghent is usually described in two stages: first, the “Haussmannization” of the city, the creation of boulevards and vistas according to the model of Brussels and Paris, and second, the return to regionalism and a picturesque sensibility during the preparation of the 1913 World’s Fair. The photographic representation of the city seems to mirror this evolution, exchanging the image of the city as a series of isolated monuments for a more sensory and immersive experience. However, a close look at a broad range of images produced by both foreign and local photographers allows us to nuance this assumption. Particularly, the work of Edmond Sacré, who photographed Ghent over half a century, combines a “topographical” and a “picturesque” sensibility.
